Chapter 67: The Ultimate Answer?
Life on the red planet is not prosperous at all, the wind outside is isolated, the fruit trees are swaying gently, and the Buddha sighed, walked to the thick fruit tree, and lowered his head to cultivate the soil.
Yi Tianxing followed behind his master and said softly: "If the Buddha dies, he will die, and this matter will also turn back, don't be sad." ”
The Buddha turned around, there were tears on his face, and he wondered: "The Buddha has realized the way of extinction, this is a happy event, why be sad?" and said: "Isn't the boy unable to understand why the World Venerable abandoned the world?"
Yi Tianxing knows these monks very well, including Ye Xiang, all monks have a bit of a habit of being a teacher, and when he thought that his master had been a neighbor with a tree that couldn't speak for five hundred years in this quiet world, he was afraid that this ** would be even stronger, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No need, I understand very well why the Buddha wiped his neck by himself." ”
"Oh?" Zhan Tan Meritorious Buddha became interested and said, "The poor monk also meditated and thought hard for more than a hundred years before he figured out this way, does the boy understand this?"
Yi Tianxing scratched his head: "The Buddha must be a person with great wisdom, and in the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, it seems that only his old man can travel through the long river of time, go to the beginning of the universe, go to the end of the universe, and see what our world is like." ”
"Go on. "The interest of the Buddha is even stronger.
Yi Tianxing spread his hands and said: "A person of great wisdom has nothing to do, so he has to think hard every day." ”
"What do you think?"
"Think about some of the questions I've thought about before. Yi Tianxing sighed and said, "Who am I?" Where do I come from, where am I going, vulgar or not? ”
"I am who I am, I am not me. I came from where I came, and I went where I went. "Zhan Tan merit Buddha Heshi should be on the way.
"Please. Yi Tianxing smiled: "Master, don't use these monks who cheat money to fool the world with their answers to fool me, those monks can't answer, so they talk nonsense, and it's just a tempting meaning not to think about it." ”
The Buddha smiled slightly and said no more.
Yi Tianxing suddenly found that he liked to talk to his master on this lonely planet, because talking to his master was not very wasteful, and the other party could understand what he meant.
The Buddha added: "The Buddha can transcend not only time, but also space. Since the beginning of our world, many spaces have naturally diverged. The human world is one of them, and the ghost world is one of them. The celestial realm is one of them, and there are many small earthly spaces in the large space. A person with great supernatural powers can forcibly break through the barriers of these spaces. And the Buddha goes one step further, he can break through the barriers of the whole world and enter another world. ”
Yi Tianxing frowned: "When Master said this, I was a little skeptical of my initial judgment, how can we confirm that the Buddha is really dead? And just not coming back?"
The Buddha of Zhantan Meritorious Virtue said quietly: "If the Buddha does not come back, what is the difference between it and the real silence?"
"Yes, there's a saying in physics. ”
Yi Tianxing then said, "Okay, I'll try to sort out the Buddha's thoughts. He is above time, he is above space, he doesn't know why he came, he doesn't know why he is going, eternal life, he once made a great wish to purify all sentient beings as Buddhas. What are the benefits of being a Buddha? Getting rid of the suffering of samsara and surviving thousands of eons is like an instant. ”
He paused, then said that he had never said it to anyone else. The thought that has been stuffed in my heart: "So, the Buddha participated in the end and found that he had done everything wrong for many years. ”
"How is it wrong?" asked the Buddha of Meritorious Virtue quietly.
"Samsara is suffering, but its life is eternal. Becoming a Buddha is not suffering, and the Buddha is also eternally extinguished. Essentially, it doesn't make a difference at all. ”
"Why is there no difference? How painful is it to be a pig and a dog in reincarnation? Isn't it happy to be a Buddha and be immortal?"
Yi Tianxing looked at his master and smiled slightly, knowing that the other party had already known the answer, and replied sincerely: "If a wise life really never dies, what can he do in the long river of time? Time is endless, knowing everything he knows, seeing everything he sees, and understanding everything he realizes, what else can he do?"
Then he said something very famous.
"What does any self-knowing life seek other than an end?
His voice grew lower and lower: "Life exists, or it is a touch of bitterness, and it is bitter in all life, this is what it means." If we want to talk about cause and effect, then the end of life can only be nothingness, and the Buddha just forcibly shortened this process. ”
......
......
Zhan Tan Meritorious Buddha laughed: "Thinking of the question that I want to participate in a hundred years, the boy easily answered. ”
Yi Tianxing replied: "When my master goes to the world in the future, I will definitely feel something when I look at the novel written by a foreigner named Asimov." ”
Naturally, the Buddha of Zhantan Merit had never read science fiction novels, but just exclaimed: "When I think of the world, there is great wisdom." ”
"Fuxian Bodhisattva and Shuna Kid have searched for traces of the Buddha in the Three Realms, since they have not found it, won't they notice a trace of the possibility of the Buddha's true extinction?"
"I'm afraid that if you have this kind of thought, you will be crushed into light smoke by the supreme supernatural powers of these two great bodhisattvas. Zhan Tan Merit Buddha paused and said, "What's more...... Fuxian Bodhisattva is only afraid that he has always thought that the Buddha is a catastrophe in the next life, and he is still waiting for him to be reborn. ”
Solving the problem of where the Buddha went, Yi Tianxing sighed, and a feeling of loss arose in his heart. From the dream of Shutuo to the empowerment of Puxian Bodhisattva, these two great bodhisattvas have pinned their hopes on themselves to find the whereabouts of the Buddha. And now I have found the answer. Will the other party be able to accept it?
He shook his head vigorously, gritting his teeth to get the thoughts out of his heart that made him feel vain.
The mystery of the whole thing has finally been revealed, although the core of the matter has been known to Yi Tianxing. But many things wrapped up in the outside still made him a little figured out, and asked: "I know, in order to cover up the news of the Buddha's suicide, and for fear that the master will kill the heavenly realm again, the master is trapped here." The disciple just didn't understand, why did the Western Pure Land Sect suppress the people of the Sumeru Mountain?"
This is a question that has always haunted his mind, how can a person who has attained the bodhisattva position be as easy to kill as the great trend? How can a Zen mind stay in the realm of the great bodhisattva? Kill Fuxian, kill Shu, kill Arhat, lure Meiling Blood Buddha and turn Arhat Buddha xìng...... All this evil thing is a good thing.
Amitabha. What a strange logic.
The Buddha did not directly answer his question, and after thinking for a while, he asked quietly, "Boy, what do you think the Buddha means?"
Yi Tianxing sat cross-legged on the ground, supporting his jaw with his hand, very distressed, and only after a long time did he respond: "It should be our people's teacher." ”
"Us?"
"Sumeru Mountain, people. ”
"What about Medicine Buddha?" said the Buddha with a smile, "Actually." You're right, the Buddha is our teacher, and this teacher has been leading many people on the path of spiritual practice, and these people are not just you and me. ”
Yi Tianxing thought of the Medicine Buddha's cultivation in the Electron Light Land back then, and nodded.
Therefore, what the Buddha realized is to pass through the tongue of our disciples and enter the hearts of thousands of believers in the world. And the reason why Amitabha Buddha will fate the Bodhisattva, cross the Three Realms, and hunt down and kill the people of Mount Meru for 500 years. It is to prevent the things that the Buddha realized from entering the world. ”
"Why?" Yi Tianxing's eyes widened and said, "I understand. The fact that the Buddha committed suicide will have a great impact on the believers in the world, but these are all layered things. Amitabha Buddha can be controlled in a more gentle way, such as telling the world's believers that the Buddha has gone to Nirvana, gone to sleep, and gone to another universe to fight aliens...... Or, simply say that the Buddha is in retreat, just like the Sanqing on the other side of the heavenly court now, why do you need to be so good?"
Zhantan Meritorious Buddha shook his head and said: "If you can hide it from the world, can you hide it from the two great Bodhisattvas of Fuxian and Shu?"
"If you can't hide it, you can't hide it. I've seen Fuxian, that guy, tsk......" Yi Tianxing admired the five-body casting, "It's really tough, he has been living in the Tashilhunpo Monastery on the Su-Tibet Plateau for five hundred years, just to wait for me, it is estimated that he knows the news of the Buddha's suicide, and he will definitely say it all over the world with great piety." ...... But this kid plays with me every day, and he should be such a fanatical person. ”
Zhan Tan Meritorious Buddha smiled and said: "Puxian Bodhisattva is the first, and he naturally stoic jīng enters." The wisdom of the Bodhisattva is the first, and he should be able to distinguish its importance. But when it comes to the Buddha's legacy, it is extremely difficult to predict. ”
"Even if you say it, what?" Yi Tianxing scratched his head, never understanding, even if the Fuxian Bodhisattva and the Shu Bodhisattva could not find the Buddha, but found the truth about the Buddha's suicide, and spread the truth to the public, what would go wrong.
Although he has the name of the protector of Buddhism in the world, he has always been a very devout believer.
"When my Buddha crossed the world, what was the meaning of teaching outside the world?"
"The suffering of samsara. ”
"How to get rid of the suffering of samsara?"
"Do good ......deeds" Yi Tianxing was stunned, and found that his Dharma cultivation was good enough, and corrected: "I can only reincarnate a good baby in the next life, and if you want to truly get rid of the suffering of reincarnation, you have to cultivate into an arhat fruit." ”
"What about after cultivating the Arhat Fruit?"
"Become a bodhisattva. ”
"What about after the Bodhisattva?"
"Great Bodhisattva. ”
"What about after the Great Bodhisattva?"
"Become a Buddha. Yi Tianxing said dejectedly, this kind of endless pushing, in the end, he could only fall into a dead end.
The Buddha sighed and said, "When the Buddha spoke to him in the fruit circle, I was listening, and I knew that there would be such a situation today. Then he said, "The believers in the world practice and are so firm in their hearts towards the Buddha because they know the results of such a step-by-step process. If everyone knows that the so-called cultivation of the Buddha, to the end, to cultivate to the only one in heaven and on earth, is still nothing more than the fruit of silence and destruction, this ...... This ......"
His voice trembled slightly, and some of them spoke.
Yi Tianxing sighed: "No one will cultivate Buddhism, and people's hearts will be scattered, what's the big deal?" he said easily, but like a mirror in his heart, the Buddha finally realized the truth of the earth and completely subverted the foundation of Buddhism.
Zhan Tan Merit Buddha said in a trembling voice: "If no one cultivates the Buddha, what is the need for the existence of the Buddha land? If all the Buddhas know that the Buddha has cultivated to the end, he has realized a method of how to make himself truly extinguished, and everyone will follow suit, then Sumeru Mountain, the Western Heavenly Pure Land, the Eastern Pure Land, and the Heavenly Heaven will all eventually become lifeless?"
Yi Tianxing chuckled in his heart, thinking of the land that was so quiet that it made people feel dead and silent when he entered the heavenly realm, and then thought of Sanqing's so-called retreat, which had never appeared - could it be that Sanqing also learned from the Buddha to play jumping off the building?
But Yi Tianxing thought about it and found that there must be a lot of content hidden behind the whole thing. Although Shigong was one of the parties involved in the year, after all, he had been trapped for 500 years, and he did not know all about the changes in the past 500 years.
Let's talk about the side first, just talk about the strange rebellion of Erlang God, the Emperor Zhenwu suddenly turned against him, and the Jade Emperor suddenly joined hands with the Pure Land, these are all indescribable things.
Erlang God is naturally brave, and it may be a true rebellion, but the question is, where did he rebel?
Emperor Zhenwu was able to take charge of the Arctic Crape Myrtle Hall and become the de facto number two person in the Heavenly Realm, although her help behind her must have been great, but she must also have the power of the Jade Emperor, why did he rebel?
Can the Buddha really give up these sentient beings and go quietly without taking a trace of clouds with him?
Of course, the most important thing is still her.
The compassionate face that often overlooks Yi Tianxing in the clouds, the one who threw Yi Tianxing from the sky to the world.
What was she thinking, and what was she doing?
