Chapter 476, Buddhism lectures, advice and advice
Although he had already guessed that this would be the final result, the Buddha still felt heartache uncontrollably.
Ananda was the earliest disciple who followed him, and he was also the disciple with the highest practice of Buddhism, otherwise he would not be called the second patriarch.
It's a pity that this second ancestor betrayed Buddhism.
After a few more days, Manjushri and the descending dragon Arhat came every day to report the movements of Ananda and Kasya.
Until this day, this day is the day of the Buddha's preaching, the fifteenth day of each month, is the day of the Buddha's preaching, according to the previous rules, the person who preaches the Buddha's scriptures should be the Buddha, because only the Buddha is qualified to preach to everyone.
But later, as the Buddha's lifespan dried up day by day, he was in a state of slumber all the time, and he retreated in the Thousand Buddha Caves, and this task was given to the second ancestor of Buddhism, Ananda.
Ananda preached for some years, but later, under Ananda's auspices, the Buddhist preaching system underwent a great change.
The bodhisattva-level masters of Buddhism, the golden-bodied Arhats, will take turns to preach to the disciples of Buddhism, and will also preach to other people who believe in Buddhism.
And this time, because it was the first time that the future Buddha came to the Buddha's door, the bodhisattvas and golden-bodied arhats who had come to the previous turn did not need to be talked about, but Ananda was responsible for explaining.
……
"It should be today." Fang Yi smiled at this time, glanced at the Buddha, and then spoke.
Of course, the Buddha understood what Fang Yi meant, but thinking about it, now, Fang Yi has returned to Buddhism for some time, it stands to reason that the Gu King and the Barbarian King should ask each other to start with Yi soon, but there has been no such thing.
Fang Yi was actually very easy to understand, it wasn't that the Gu King didn't start, but that he didn't find a suitable opportunity.
And the right opportunity, very simply, is that this lecture conference is the most appropriate opportunity.
When the lecture is held, all the monks and believers will attend, and Fang Yi, who is the future Buddha, will of course also attend, and this is the best opportunity.
Once these two or five boys were lecturing on the scriptures, they suddenly broke out, coupled with the Gu King's sudden attack, it was very likely that Fang Yi would be completely killed without knowing it or realizing it.
If Fang Yi was the Gu King, Fang Yi himself would choose to be at this time.
……
"Ladies and gentlemen, continue to preach today." Above, Ananda spoke, yes, it was Ananda who was in charge of preaching today.
"Future Buddha." Before the lecture, Ananda naturally knew that Fang Yi would come, and since Fang Yi was here this time, he couldn't let Fang Yi just watch or listen, the future Buddha would lead them to continue to move forward in the future.
Moreover, the Buddha has always said that the Buddha will have the Buddha nature of the heavens in the future, and this time it is necessary to test it in a good life.
Fang Yi stood up at this time, looked at Ananda, and said, "I've seen the second ancestor. ”
This is the first time that other Buddhist disciples and believers have seen Fang Yi's true face, when the Buddha led Fang Yi back before, he only took him to see the Bodhisattva-level masters and golden-bodied Arhats of Buddhism, but he never brought other believers and disciples to see Fang Yi, so this was also the first time they saw Fang Yi.
At this time, they were all looking at the future Buddha in front of them.
"Future Buddha, before giving a lecture, Ananda had a reluctant request." Ananda opened his mouth and said to Fang Yi at this time.
"What does the second ancestor command, just say it." Fang Yi's attitude was very modest, and he didn't have the slightest shelf of a future Buddha, which made the first impression of those believers below on Fang Yi very good.
"It is said that the future Buddha Buddha nature will reach the sky, and there will be great wisdom roots, and today, Ananda really wants to understand it." Ananda looked at Fang Yi with a smile at this time, and then spoke.
Other Buddhist Bodhisattva-level masters, as well as the Venerable Venerable Arhat with the Golden Body, after hearing this sentence, all frowned, and so did the Buddha, he really didn't expect that this Ananda would be embarrassed in public.
He was about to open his mouth to stop the matter from proceeding, but he saw Fang Yi waving his hand slightly, signaling that the Buddha could leave this matter alone.
The Buddha immediately extinguished the idea of wanting to make a move, for no other reason, he believed in Fang Yi too much.
Especially, when you know what he's done in the past, you can trust him.
Because he is always able to make the impossible possible.
Seeing that the Buddha didn't say anything, the other bodhisattvas and Arhat Venerables couldn't say anything, so they all shut up and fixed their eyes on Ananda, wanting to see what Ananda wanted to do.
……
"Don't dare to do it." Ananda waved his hand at this time, and then said: "Actually, I want to humbly ask for advice, for so many years, I have been thinking hard about a question, but until now, I have not thought too clearly, today, I want to take a leave of absence for the future Buddha." ”
"Although." Fang Yi nodded.
"What is a Buddha??" Ananda asked.
But as soon as these words came out, the expressions of those bodhisattvas and Arhat Venerables below changed.
What kind of problem is this??
Moreover, is he going to use these questions to ask the future Buddha?
Even the Buddha frowned slightly, but the Buddha did not stop it, to be honest, he was also looking forward to Fang Yi's answer, as a future Buddha with innate great wisdom and innate wisdom roots, how to look at this Buddha's question is very crucial.
"What is a Buddha??" Fang Yi smiled dumbly at this time, this question made Fang Yi think of the question he answered when he entered the Jiangnan Academy.
"Why do you study?" There is almost no difference between these two issues in essence.
It's just that when answering the question of why he reads, Fang Yi can open up, that is, take out Mr. Zhang Zai's four sentences of Hengqu to deal with it.
But now asking what a Buddha is, this makes Fang Yi a little difficult for a while.
However, Fang Yi quickly had an idea and said, "Since the Second Ancestor said before, this question has puzzled you for a long time, but come to think of it, since you have studied it for so long, you should have some opinions. ”
"Tell me what you think." Fang Yi kicked the ball to Ananda in turn.
"What is a Buddha?" Ananda said lightly at this time: "I thought that Pudu sentient beings were Buddhas. ”
Ananda glanced at the Buddha at this time and said, "The Dharma of Buddhism is to purify all sentient beings, and the Buddhas of all generations have used the supreme Dharma to purify sentient beings. ”
"Yes, yes." Fang Yi smiled, agreed, and then asked again, "Is there anything else?" ”
Ananda was stunned for a moment, then looked at Fang Yi with some incredulity, and then asked, "What else?" ”
"Gone??" Only then did Fang Yi react, Ananda just had such an answer, and those who purified all sentient beings, Ananda thought it was a Buddha.
"Please advise." Ananda became interested at this time, and said this to Fang Yi, from Fang Yi's tone just now, he heard some other meanings.
But at this time, unexpectedly, Fang Yi really spoke, and when he opened his mouth, he didn't have the slightest hint of modesty: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll advise you." ”
