Chapter 383: Golden Dome Buddha Light, Multiple Predecessors and Multiple Paths

There are four bodhisattvas in Buddhism, which correspond to the four famous mountains in the Central Plains, and Shen Lian doesn't really understand which one started first.

Shen Lian only knew that the four famous mountains were the dojos of the four Bodhisattvas, and they all had a strong Buddhist culture.

Mount Wutai is the dojo of Manjushri Bodhisattva, Mount Putuo is the dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Jiuhua Mountain is the dojo of King Jizo Bodhisattva, and Mount Emei is about to be reached......

โ€”โ€”Mount Emei is the dojo of Fuxian Bodhisattva!

The four bodhisattvas represent wisdom and compassion.

Manjushri shows wisdom, the lion's roar is the head of the stick to drink, the sword of wisdom slashes the demons, the heart is the precept, the precept is determined, the precept is born of wisdom, and the self is pure and unstained and beneficial to others.

Guanyin shows compassion, this is best understood, the Guanyin Bodhisattva of great compassion, but with the spread of Buddhism in the Central Plains, Guanyin can basically manage anything.

Jizo expresses the power of wishes, vows and vows, the famous hell is not empty, and vows not to become a Buddha, which is its representative.

Puxian shows practice, reason, and virtue, corresponding to the wisdom and virtue of Manjushri Bodhisattva, and if it is divided according to the secular sect, it belongs to the first seat of the Vinaya.

This is the simplest secular division, and there are actually many ways to say it, but it is rarely mentioned.

Why?

Because the pilgrims don't understand!

Buddhism is not a martial arts sect, but a religion for the general public, who can understand so much?

What do pilgrims want to know?

What is the name of this bodhisattva?

What are the taboos of offering incense to Him?

What can a bodhisattva bless me?

Are there any interesting Dharma stories?

Q: How to attract pilgrims to burn incense and worship Buddha?

Answer: Speak human words, do personnel, and let people understand.

The monk of Mount Emei will definitely not preach the "Ten Wishes of Fuxian Bodhisattva" to ordinary pilgrims.

This kind of sounding very profound is that when the old lady of the rich family celebrates her birthday, she personally rushed over to preach the scriptures and ask the old lady to give alms of sesame oil money!

The longer you mix in the rivers and lakes, the more difficult it is to know how difficult it is to speak people's words, and if you add "handling personnel", it is even more difficult.

The most classic example is Jinshan Temple.

Ordinary people can't remember the Buddhist scriptures, but they can definitely remember the legend of the White Snake, and if they remember the legend of the White Snake, they will remember Jinshan Temple, Leifeng Pagoda, and Fahai.

When I went to Hangzhou to play, I walked to the edge of the West Lake, and subconsciously wanted to go to see the Jinshan Temple.

Shen Lian was rambling nonsense, and when he talked about memory points, he pouted slightly: "Fuxian Bodhisattva has obviously suffered a little loss, and there are not many memory points." โ€

If Zhou Zhiruo invited Shen Lian to Emei as a guest, Shen Lian would naturally not refuse, most of the friends around him were not very interested in it, only Feng Suzhen was interested.

In addition to Shen Lian, there are only Feng Siniang, Zuo Shi, and Feng Suzhen who came to Emei this time.

Shen Lian's mouth was idle, introducing the customs and folk culture of Shu for the three daughters, from the myths and legends of Mount Emei, to the essence of Buddhism.

The four major Bodhisattvas, Guanyin Bodhisattva's status in China is incomparable, the incense is the most vigorous, Manjushri Bodhisattva also has many legends, Jizo King Bodhisattva has the most classic Buddhist vows, only Puxian Bodhisattva is slightly worse.

Fortunately, Mount Emei is a famous mountain in the Central Plains, and the sunrise at the Golden Dome of Emei is even more magnificent, even if it is just to play in Mount Emei, there are many tourists who burn incense along the way.

Zuo Shi couldn't help but complain: "Master Hou, you are going to worship the Bodhisattva, is it not good to talk nonsense here?" Not afraid of making the Bodhisattva angry? โ€

Hearing Zuo Shi's words, Feng Siniang and Feng Suzhen couldn't help but take a few steps away from Shen Lian, as if they were worried that Fuxian Bodhisattva would send down a heavenly thunder punishment and affect themselves.

Shen Lian waved his hand: "No, no, no, the Bodhisattva is magnanimous, merciful, and compassionate, how can I be angry because of my three or two nonsense sentences?" โ€

Feng Suzhen whispered: "Brother Shen, the Bodhisattva of Fuxian represents virtue, you just committed a karma, the Bodhisattva can punish it, this is his...... Priesthood. โ€

Shen Lian: Is it too late to shut up?

Third Girl: It's too late, wait for death, farewell!

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Emei world show.

The continuous Emei Mountains, the clouds are condensed and green, the mantle is far away, such as the head of the moth eyebrows, and there are thousands of cliffs, as if the gods are cut, like a mirror, and the continuous distant mountains are like a thrush in the mirror, which has the name of Emei.

Emei Mountain Range, there are four main peaks of Da'e Mountain, Er'e Mountain, San'e Mountain, and Si'e Mountain, and there are seventy-two side peaks such as Baozhang, Tianchi, Huayan, and Jade Girl.

Ascending Emei, you can see the cliff everywhere, after hundreds of millions of years of wind and sun, the mountain rock is polished smooth, the ape is difficult to cross, it is the wonder of the world.

The legend of "Shushan Sword Immortal" is because of these cliffs, so it is said that there are sword immortals flying swords here to punish demons, leaving seventy-two ancient immortal caves.

As soon as Shen Lian and the others arrived at Emei, the disciples of the two sects of Emei Buddhism and Taoism had already greeted them from afar.

The head of the Taoist sect is the senior brother Zhang Yingfeng.

The head of Buddhism is the little uncle Yin Xiuyun.

Yin Xiuyun is the daughter of Yin Liting, who was sent to Emei to learn art at the age of ten.

Shen Lian has a slight impression of Yin Xiuyun, it is said that she inherited Yin Liting's swordsmanship talent, and her swordsmanship ranks first among the younger generation of Emei, stronger than Sanying and Sixiu.

"In Xia Shen Lian, I have seen you."

"In Xia Feng Shaomin, I have seen you."

"This is Feng Shaomin and Feng Shaoxia? I heard that Feng Shaoxia inherited the demon subduing piano, and the piano art is the first in the world, I don't know if I am fortunate to hear the sound of Feng Shaoxia's piano? โ€

Although Yin Xiuyun is older, she is about the same age as Shen Lian and others, with a lively and noisy personality, and her round eyes are very cute, much like Qu Feiyan who grew up.

Hearing Yin Xiuyun's words, Ma Xiuzhen and Ye Xiuzhu looked at him at the same time, and said in their hearts that he was Feng Shaomin, who was even more handsome than rumored and very elegant.

Feng Suzhen was slightly embarrassed, her men's clothes were really handsome, coupled with Gao Zhuo's martial arts, she attracted many side eyes halfway and attracted the hearts of countless heroines.

She didn't know that most of the original Jianghu heroines were more reserved until the Zhaotong War spread......

The best diamond king in the rivers and lakes, two of them found a lover, and if they didn't take the initiative, the young, handsome, and martial arts young heroes were all carved up.

Yin Xiuyun didn't have these ideas, she just thought that the Demon Suppression Qin was cool and Feng Shaomin was very handsome.

Feng Suzhen hurriedly said: "The girl is falsely praised, and she is only slightly familiar with the piano in the next, not the first in the world. โ€

"The Demon Suppressor is not the first, who else can call it the first? Could it be the Heavenly Demon Qin? โ€

"Hermit in the mountains and forests, high mountains and flowing water, let go of all dust and cause and effect, empty and clear in the heart, sitting in the bamboo forest, playing their own music, expressing praise and praise for life from the heart, that is the most beautiful piano rhyme, is a natural tune."

Yin Xiuyun pouted and said, "You guy is young, why are you so old?" Like an old man in his seventies and eighties, he has no youthful vitality. โ€

Shen Lian immediately said: "The girl is right, my old brother Feng is young and handsome, strong in martial arts, talented in eight buckets, the best talent, everything is good, but the personality is relatively old, like an old monk in Qing Xiu." โ€

Feng Suzhen: s('ใƒ˜; )ใ‚ž

I think you want to hear the Demon Slaying Piano!

The old lady is lively, can you catch it?

Zhang Yingfeng quipped: "The old monk of Mount Emei is not as handsome as Feng Shaoxia. โ€

Feng Siniang pointed at Shen Lian and said, "I don't know if the monkeys in Mount Emei are so lively?" โ€

Zhang Yingfeng said with a smile: "I have never seen a monkey that can carry the whole mountain, but I still have some stock of monkey wine in Emei." โ€

Monkey wine is a natural wine.

The monkeys store fresh fruit in autumn and winter, and if there is a lot of fresh fruit, some of the fruit will ferment, and over time, it will be brewed into monkey wine little by little.

During the fermentation process, most of them will become rotten and smelly, and some will give birth to mosquitoes, and there are very few clean monkey wines, which are rare in nature.

Due to the different fruits stored, the fermentation time is too random, so the monkey wine produced by different famous mountains is different, and even the same monkey group makes different monkey wine, and the taste is different.

The monkey group of Mount Emei is perhaps the most famous monkey group in the world, rich in monkey wine, Zhang Yingfeng will look for it in the mountains every year, dedicated to entertaining distinguished guests.

When Feng Siniang debuted, she once said that she wanted to ride the fastest horse, climb the highest mountain, eat the spiciest dishes, drink the strongest wine, play the sharpest knife, and kill the most ruthless people!

When she mentioned the monkeys just now, she was not to tease Shen Lian, but to ask about the monkeys' wine.

Zhang Yingfeng, as the elder brother of Taoism, is very familiar with the arrival of the rivers and lakes, and knows the elegance of the song when he hears the strings, first praising Shen Lian for two sentences, and then saying that he has stock.

Everyone greeted each other for a while and went up the mountain together.

There are four main peaks in the Emei Mountains, the Emei Buddha Sect is in the Great Eshan Mountain, the Emei Taoist Sect is in the Er'e Mountain, and the other peaks live in the Emei Qing Cultivation masters.

Dugu Yihe once said that some of these masters are not under him, and they must not be provoked, otherwise they will be beaten outside, and they will be beaten again when they come back.

Since it was Zhou Zhiruo's invitation, everyone should go to Da'e Mountain first, in fact, there is not much dispute between Emei Buddhism and Emei Taoism, and they are very harmonious with each other.

In the eyes of many people, the Emei faction's actions are similar to splitting up the family, either old and dead and not getting along, or fighting to the death, at least there should be a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, right?

Actually, none of that.

If you are willing to cultivate the Tao, you will cultivate the Tao.

If you are willing to practice Buddhism, you should practice Buddhism.

Female disciples of the Taoist Sect can go to the Buddhist Sect to practice swords.

The head of Buddhism practiced Taoist secret texts.

To put it mildly, Dugu Yihe and Zhou Zhiruo, the two heads, are certainly outstanding in martial arts, but their understanding of Buddhist scriptures and Taoist treasures is really not very good.

Because I don't understand, I don't care.

If you understand too much, you won't care.

Who will fight to the death?

Of course, those who don't understand it!

The real virtuous monks and enlightened people don't care about these things, they can't even see through them, and they have fame and fortune in their hearts, how can they concentrate on cultivating the Tao and cultivating the Buddha?

Emei Buddha Sect is located in Emei Golden Peak, also known as Ten Thousand Buddha Peak, is the highest peak of Emei, but also the most beautiful place of Emei scenery, there are four wonders of sunrise, sea of clouds, Buddha light, magic lamp, is a must-visit place for tourists.

Get up early to see the sunrise, see the sea of clouds in the morning, see the Buddha's light in the afternoon, and see the magic lamp at night.

Feng Siniang once came to Emei, but felt that it was too lonely to watch the sunrise alone, and it happened that the weather was bad, the sea of clouds was nothing to see, the Buddha's light and magic lamp did not flash, and she didn't drink monkey wine.

Feng Suzhen asked curiously: "Brother Shen, what do you mean by the Four Wonders of the Golden Peak?" โ€

Shen Lian explained: "The first is the sunrise, Emei Sunrise dare not say that it is the crown of the world, but it is also ranked in the top ten in many famous mountains and rivers, and even in the top five.

The sea of clouds is watched in the early morning, looking down from the golden roof, only to see the clouds and mist like the sea, sometimes like the waves rolling, sometimes the wind and waves are calm, it is really fantastic and endless, and it is wonderful.

Buddha light in the afternoon to watch, must be a good weather of calm and sunny days, from the sacrifice of the rock leaning down to look down, will see the colorful halo floating in the clouds, their own figure placed in the halo, the shadow with the person, do not lose each other.

To watch the magic lamp at night, it must be a hazy moonlight night, sparse stars and light moon, fluorescent firelight, alternating light and dark, different sizes, like the lights of thousands of homes.

Those with the best luck can see the wonders of Emei in one day, and those who are unlucky, even if they stay in Emei for several months, can only see the sunrise at most.

No matter how much time changes, the sun will always rise in the early hours of the morning, bringing light to the world.

The sun and the moon alternate, the chaos is turbid, this is the most primitive of nature, but also the most ancient wonder, if you want to cultivate the magic piano, you might as well see the sunrise. โ€

Feng Siniang took a sip lightly, and said in her heart that she was fooling people with nonsense again, don't I still know you?

Feng Suzhen's demon subduing qin, just practiced to the most sensitive moment of the heart, and could have an epiphany at any time, the mountains, rivers, plants and trees are all inspiration, hearing Shen Lian's words, I couldn't help but have some expectations in my heart, and wanted to see the sunrise Emei.

Yin Xiuyun said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Marquis Shen has a strong body like a fierce beast, and he is the best at moving mountains and mountains, but I didn't expect that there would be such a literary talent, it seems that the rumors are wrong." โ€

Shen Lian hurriedly said: "According to the seniority, you are my uncle, just call your name directly." โ€

"I have a mentorship relationship with you?"

"Absolutely! My eldest brother Shen Yumen is Mingzun's personal disciple, you and Mingzun are the same generation, naturally you are the uncle of the younger generation, and the generation is chaotic. โ€

How can the generations be messed up?

The generations of the Ming Sect have long been out of order.

Xie Xun and Zhang Cuishan are sworn brothers, Zhang Cuishan is Yin Tianzheng's son-in-law, and the four great kings of Mingjiao are commensurate with brothers, how should this generation be counted?

Yang does not regret marrying Yin Liting, Yang Xiao directly grew up to Yin Liting for one generation, and Zhang Sanfeng is the same generation, two generations older than his own sect leader, and three generations older than Shen Lian.

This kind of thing, messy, don't care.

Shen Lian remembered that Li Mochou once compared his seniority with Huang Rong, Li Mochou brought out Lin Chaoying, and Huang Rong said that Guo Jing and Zhou Botong were sworn brothers.

Generation: Wang Chongyang = Lin Chaoying = Zhou Botong = Guo Jing = Huang Rong ......

So Huang Rong and Lin Chaoying are equals.

Li Mochou was stunned on the spot!

This kind of thing, except for when climbing relationships, there is no need to study it too carefully, because it is too messy!

Shen Lian is now Pan Guan!

Multiple predecessors, multiple roads!
