Chapter 246: Monkey Hunting
Entering the lecture hall, Yin Cha and Wu Lai all solemnly worshiped a monk wearing a robe on the platform who was preaching the scriptures, and many Yin cha and ghosts were listening to the truth with their palms.
Wu Lai's side pointed to the monk on the stage and whispered, that is not an ordinary monk, it is a monk who has attained the Tao, and the monk who has attained the Tao is no longer a monk, but a Bodhisattva who has left the Six Realms and transcended the Three Realms to cultivate a true body, and vowed to purify all sentient beings endlessly in the world and hell.
Wu Lai asked quietly, can I get through my sins? Yin Cha said, then ask the Bodhisattva. Don't talk anymore, listen to the Bodhisattva's teachings.
When he heard the story of karma that happened in Yan Futi in the "Dizo King Bodhisattva Sutra", Wu Lai thought of the evil he had done in the Yang world, and he was particularly afraid of retribution for many lifetimes, so he secretly repented.
Wu Lai, who listened very seriously, quietly asked Yincha, just now the Bodhisattva mentioned Yan Futi, what is that? The answer is, I don't know.
As soon as the lecture was finished, Wu Lai went to ask the Bodhisattva who was sitting in front of the stage to take a sip of tea, and the Bodhisattva smiled kindly and explained in a kind tone: Yan Futi is the earth where humans and animals live together. There are four continents in the universe, and Yan Futi is the name of one of them, which is called the earth in the language of human science. It is also called the South Zhan Continent, the south of Mount Meru, and the other three major continents, ring arch in the northwest of Sumeru Mountain, respectively called Dongsheng Shenzhou, West Niuhe Continent, North Julu Continent.
Wu Lai listened with interest, and asked what was going on in the Three Realms from the lecture hall. The Bodhisattva told him that the Three Realms are divided into the Realm of Desire, the Realm of Color, and the Realm of Colorlessness. Human beings dwell in the realm of desire, and the realm of desire is the realm of color after six layers of heaven, and the eighteen layers of heaven above the realm of color are the realm of color, where it is far away from the dust and dirt.
Then the Bodhisattva explained the meaning of the Dharma realm: all things, things, and things are collectively called the Dharma; The realm is a certain range, also known as the Dharma realm, it can be said that there is a boundary, there is a law, there is a law, there is a realm, the Buddha, the Bodhisattva, the Yuanjue, the four holy realms of sound, the heavenly way, the humanitarian path, the asura path, the animal path, the ghost path, the hell realm and other six realms, and the former together called the ten dharma realms.
The Bodhisattva also preached on the benefits of rebirth in the Western Elysium. Wu Lai asked, can I go? The Bodhisattva said, "Of course you can go, but now that you have a lot of karma, you have to turn into a human body and make a vow to practice, not to create negative karma, to purify your mind, and to hold on to the Buddha's name, so that you can be reborn in the Western Paradise."
Wu Lai asked again, can I still turn into a human body? The Bodhisattva said, "When you were born, you blasphemed human morality, broke your morals, and raped virgins, and you did not pay attention to affection, so that virgins died in vain because of their own short-sightedness, and according to the theory of cause and effect, you will be reincarnated as an animal in the next life.
Wu Lai was very scared, and asked the Bodhisattva, can he not be a beast? The Bodhisattva said, "You should suffer your own iniquity." However, there are also high and low points to be animals, for example, pandas are national first-class protected animals, and have the same right to live as humans, if you can be reincarnated into a panda, you will also become a nobleman among animals.
Wu Lai asked again, how can you become a nobleman among beasts? The Bodhisattva said, you can ask your family to reprint and print for you the book "The Treasure of Life" written by the Foolish Practitioner, and if you can fulfill your wish, even if you are reincarnated as an animal, you will become a nobleman among the beasts. After that, you can enjoy the hope of reincarnation and reincarnation.
That night, Wu Lai dreamed of his wife He Chengzi and instructed how to reprint and distribute "The Treasure of Life". He Chengzi complied, and after Wu Lai's sentence in hell expired, he was indeed reincarnated into the womb of a female panda in the Yanfuti Wildlife Sanctuary, but when she was about to give birth, the female panda became ill, and what was produced was a dead panda cub.
The ghost went to the Bodhisattva to cry again, saying that the Bodhisattva had deceived it, and that it had printed the "Treasure of Life" according to the Bodhisattva's indication, and how could it be reincarnated in the womb of a female panda in exchange for such a tragic result?
The Bodhisattva smiled and told the spirit of the panda cub not to get excited, and let it look at one of his outstretched palms, which was like a TV screen, only to see a picture on it - a flash flood was about to flood the house of Wu Lai's family before his death, and there was a stack of printed "Treasures of Life" books, and his wife He Chengzi moved all other belongings before the flash flood, but did not transfer the "Treasures of Life" books, and all of them were flooded by the surging torrents......
The spirit of the panda cub still doesn't understand the reason, what can it do about the flash flood? The Bodhisattva said, "Your wife can transfer the good books, but she is so contemptuous that they will flood into it, as if there were no good books printed, so you, who should have been reborn as a panda, a national first-class protected animal, died in the womb of the panda mother.
As he spoke, the Wheel King summoned the spirit of the panda cub and threw a hedgehog skin over it, and it was reincarnated as a hedgehog.
In a jungle, the thorn croaked from time to time, and a big bad wolf spotted it, got out of the stone, sniffed around the thorny stinger a few times, kicked it with its foot, and felt pain, so that it had to withdraw its claws.
I saw that the thorn shrunk into a ball, and the big bad wolf stared at the gloomy eyes, and his mouth was wide open, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, but it was not easy to speak, and he did not dare to speak, so it circled around the thorn a few times, and snorted a few times before giving up.
Later, others, such as badger pigs and other things, also wanted to provoke the hedgehog, but as soon as its body was arched, it still shrunk into a ball, and then wanted to bite down, but the lip was stung by the hedgehog, and the hedgehog still did not move, looking like a defensive posture, so that the badger pig or other animals could not bear it, and had to give up.
That time, the hedgehog was sleeping on the grass, and a grass god was walking around it, and suddenly found a monkey in the big tree staring at the hedgehog, and climbed down from the tree, found a stone in the mountain and grabbed it in his hand, aimed at the hedgehog and smashed it, but failed to hit it. The hedgehog crawled alertly towards the burrow in the grass and then burrowed in.
The monkey picked up the rock again and tried to kill it for meat, but there was no sign of it. When a grass god standing next to him saw a tree god coming out of the woods, he pointed to the monkey who was still holding the stone in his hand and said, "You see, the monkey is still smart, and knows that hunting a hedgehog is easy to be stung by its sharp thorns, so he picks up a stone and throws it." Other animals are stupid and bite it directly, often stinging their mouths before they know how difficult it is to retreat.
The tree god laughed, although the monkey is smart, it is still a beast. The god of grass said that ordinary beasts are stupid, how can there be intelligent beasts?
The god crouched down and explained, saying that beasts are stupid from the perspective of people, because no matter how clever a beast is, it can't compare to a human. To say that animals are smart is to compare animals with animals, like monkeys are indeed smarter than other animals.
As he spoke, the tree god caressed the monkey who was still standing at the edge of the cave and was still waiting for the hedgehog. The monkey looked at the tree god, just a shadow, and was not afraid.
Then a fat monkey jumped down from the tree, and ran up to the monkey with the stone in his hand, and asked him what he was going to do, and he pointed to the cave by the grass, and said, "There is a hedgehog in it, and I will wait for a while, and if it crawls out, I will stone it to death, and make a tooth sacrifice with you."
