Chapter 56: Is It Reborn in the Pure Land or Reborn as a Human Being?
"Repeatedly, the Bodhisattva of the Void, if it is now and in the future, the heavenly dragons, ghosts, and gods, hearing the name of the earth, worshipping the earth, or hearing the earth's wishes, and admiring the ceremony, will get seven kinds of benefits.
One, speed beyond the Holy Land. Both, negative karma is eliminated. Three, the Buddhas are coming. Fourth, Bodhi does not retreat. Fifth, increase the strength. All six are fateful. The seventh, after all, become a Buddha.
At that time, all the ten directions came, it cannot be said that the Buddhas came and the great Bodhisattva, the eight parts of the heavenly dragon, heard that the Buddha Shakyamuni praised and praised the Bodhisattva of the earth, the great power of the gods is incredible, and the sigh has never been.
It is the time of the day, the rain is immeasurable, the heavenly clothes are beautiful, and the offerings to Shakyamuni Buddha and the Bodhisattva have been.
All the congregations saluted and folded their palms and retreated. ”
After reciting the Jizo Sutra, Feng Yu remembered the original teachings of the Buddha and preached to all sentient beings:
"Profit is the meaning of 'merit'! The various interests stated in the Jizo Sutra are the defective things in the lives of worldly beings; However, as long as you make offerings to the Jizo Bodhisattva icon or recite the Jizo Sutra, the life with loopholes will be fully meritorious. ”
"The Jizo Sutra is not only able to transcend, but the most different thing is that it also tells about the Jizo Bodhisattva, which can complete the personality of worldly beings and make up for the loopholes and defects in life."
When some sentient beings with heavy roots heard this, they were moved to tears and said it three times.
"Jizo Bodhisattva is merciful! Fengyu is merciful! ”
The white dragon marched all the way to the west, and there were fewer and fewer beings around Feng Yu, and most of them made a wish to be reborn in the Pure Land City of Bliss in the Lotus Flower Hidden Mountains and Seas World.
The City of Light that floats in the sky is the only pure land where Yan Futi is located, and after death, the beings of the six realms will definitely be reborn there as long as their karma is removed and they wish to be reborn there.
Only a few sentient beings who have helped Feng Yu still want to be reincarnated as a human being.
Those beings who wished to be reborn in the Lotus Flower Tibetan Mountains and Seas World Bliss Pure Land City collectively turned into the aurora, and by the way, they also took away the unconscious inch-headed brother very righteously, like a shooting star flying to the west.
Beings who want to be reincarnated as human beings are waiting for Feng Yu to send him to the Wheel Tower of Hell and directly enter the "humane" reincarnation in the Wheel Tower.
"How bitter it is in the mortal dust, isn't it good that you go to the Pure Land City of the Lotus Flower Hidden Mountains and Seas World in your last life, and never enter the six realms of reincarnation again?"
The white dragon's sigh did not shake the few beings who wanted to be reincarnated.
"But...... I want mom and dad! ”
"I haven't lived well, I just want to be a good person until I die."
"I want to universalize all sentient beings, and humanity is the best way to practice, so I start with being a human being."
Feng Yu was stunned for a moment, feeling shocked, and moved his gaze to the little boy sitting cross-legged beside him.
The little boy was still a baby spirit when he first listened to the scriptures here, and after receiving his dedication to reciting merits, he turned into a human form, and now he listened to the Jizo Sutra for the second time, and directly understood the great wish of the Buddha and Bodhisattva to purify all sentient beings.
He found his own shadow in the child, and he was also a teenager in his previous life, in order to expel the demons who were in chaos and save the living beings of Beiju Luzhou from suffering, he resolutely walked towards the road of subduing demons and eliminating demons.
"Xiaofeng, I can't see it, you are really ambitious at a young age."
Listening to the jokes and ridicule of his companions, the little boy blushed embarrassedly and looked at Feng Yu with innocent, romantic and firm eyes.
"After I am reincarnated, will I meet you again? I want to follow you to enlighten all sentient beings. ”
The other beings all smiled, and Feng Yu also smiled slightly.
Yoekaze was touched on the head by an outstretched hand, a large hand from someone he admired.
At the western end of the treacherous city, with a red sun as the background, the Pure Land City of Bliss in the sky is full of light.
There is only good and no evil, and the sentient beings there are as bright as jade, pure and flawless.
"Not to mention that there is no way for evil beings to get there, and there is no way for those who are impure in body and mind to reach it, otherwise they will be burned by the divine light.
The light of the sun and the moon can illuminate all the sins of worldly beings. If you are in great pain when you come into contact with the Pure Land of Bliss, it means that you are not clean. ”
As soon as Bai Long finished speaking, he noticed that the body in Feng Yu's arms had moved.
The body struggled slightly, and a left hand was extended.
After his cheeks were touched by the dry and blackened five fingers, Feng Yu's pupils widened a little, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and he held this hand back.
"Wake up." The voice of the demon king came from the palm of his right hand.
An incredible scene also appeared, the hand that was gently pressed against Feng Yu's cheek changed, shedding the scorched black and dry phenomenon, emitting a faint red light, and growing new flesh and blood at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The phenomenon of flesh regeneration spread from the arms to half of the body, and the white-gold robes that covered the whole body were glowing with a brilliant red light.
The few sentient beings who wanted to be reincarnated and become human beings again were overjoyed and witnessed Leng Xian'er living towards death.
Seeing a painful look on her delicate and beautiful face, Feng Yu called for the white dragon to stop.
At this time, Leng Xian'er, who had not fully recovered, fell asleep again, sleeping peacefully.
"Oh, by the way, I just remembered that Sister Xian'er is a half-demon!"
Thanks to a baby spirit's sudden reminder, everyone suddenly realized.
Only Bailong Ah Zhouna didn't know what Leng Xian'er's identity was, and hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know she was ...... Half-demon. ”
The last two words are a bit difficult to say.
The white dragon was suspended in the air, in a dilemma, waiting for Feng Yu to make a decision on whether to return the same way.
"I'll ask you one last time, do you want to be reincarnated? Or do you want to be reborn in the Pure Land? ”
The atmosphere was silent for a moment.
"Be a man!"
"Well, I want mom and dad, so I'm going to be human."
"Although there is more bitterness and less happiness in mortal life, full of love and hatred, parting resentment and hatred, I still want to be a mortal and experience the ups and downs."
"Only humanity is the best practice. The beings of the Heavenly Dao are too blessed to practice diligently; Sentient beings on the Asura Path can live as bliss as celestial beings, but they do not have the virtues of celestial beings, and they are by no means virtuous. The Hungry Path, the Animal Path, and the Hell Path are too bitter, and they don't smell a word of Dharma. ”
"I'd better be reborn in the Pure Land City of Bliss, where there are no troubles, only happiness. It's too hard to be a human being. ”
Feng Yu listened to the various reasons of these beings and fell into thought.
He placed the Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra in the hands of the sentient being who had changed his mind and decided to be reborn in the Pure Land.
When the other party saw the golden light of the scriptures on his hands, his timid and nervous hands were trembling, and he wanted to retract his hands, but his wrists were grasped very tightly.
"Don't be afraid, you're about to be saved."
How could such a sacred treasure not be afraid when it was touched by itself?
"I don't have time to recite the scriptures, so I can only transcend your rebirth in this way."
The dazzling light of the Jizo Sutra shone all over the void, illuminating the faces of all living beings with white gold.
"Go, you can rest in peace, and you will be happy forever."
