Chapter 494: Miaoya Qiya (23)

The Emperor of Heaven panicked for a moment, and hurriedly invited Taishang Laojun to heal.

Taishang Laojun poured out an elixir from the treasure gourd and fed it to the Baoyi master. As soon as the elendan came back to life, as soon as he woke up, he asked the Emperor: "I am about to be born, why did you recruit me back?"

As soon as the Emperor heard this, he woke up like a dream, and wanted to say that he was just talking casually, but there is a way that the king has no jokes, how can he go back on his word, not to mention that Baoyi said that the wife of King Miaozhuang was already in childbirth, so he had no choice but to tell him to go quickly.

The distance between heaven and earth is 108,000 miles, and a toss back and forth delays for nine days, so when the wife of King Miaozhuang gave birth to the third emperor's aunt, she was born for nine days and nine nights.

After Baoyi descended to earth, the Emperor of Heaven remembered that he knew everything about his ins and outs, and was afraid that he would say that he was just the lord of a village before he became an adult, so he asked him to speak only after he was nine years old.

After Master Baoyi went down to earth for the second time, he was still "a man reincarnated as a female fetus, and his soul was still there". The Emperor of Heaven asked Taishang Laojun, "What about the corpse of Master Baoyi?"

Taishang Laojun is the ancestor of Taoism, and when he asked what happened, he said; "Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea is a treasure land of feng shui, and it will also be the dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the future, so it is better to take advantage of the fact that the three emperors have not achieved the right result, so that Baoyi will go to Putuo to open up a dojo and promote Taoism. It is not too late to give way after the three emperors have achieved positive results. ”

The Emperor of Heaven felt that this was better, so as not to let other monks occupy it and cause disputes in the future. Taishang Laojun wrote the words "Ci Hangdao Man", which means: the person who opened up the channel for the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva.

After writing, he drew a talisman on the paper, and then cremated it into ashes and poured water into the mouth of the priest.

In this way, the Western Heavenly Treasure means that Guanyin Master has since been divided into two: the body has become a Cihangdao person; The soul became the third emperor aunt of King Miaozhuang, which was later Guanyin Niangniang.

Because of this reason, when King Miaozhuang forced the third emperor to marry, she said that she was the reincarnation of the gods. It is precisely because of this reason that although the Three Emperor Gu Miaoyin has suffered ten tribulations and nine difficulties, she can meet immortals everywhere to help.

Originally, in terms of Miaoyin's virtue and Taoism, she had already reached the realm of becoming a Buddha, but because she once angered the Emperor of Heaven and offended the Buddha once, she still called herself a Bodhisattva and could not become a Buddha.

Bodhisattva is the abbreviation of the Sanskrit word Bodhisattva Tudri (also translated as Tuashi). The word bodhisattva in Mahayana Buddhism is used to refer specifically to those practitioners who will be able to attain Buddhahood in the future.

Buddha is the highest grade of Buddhist practice, with the three conditions of self-realization, self-awareness, and enlightenment, and the Bodhisattva only lacks the last one, and the taste is second only to the Buddha.

The so-called "Buddha", Theravada Buddhism is generally only used as an honorific title for the Buddha.

Mahayana Buddhism not only refers to the Buddha, but also refers to all those who have attained enlightenment.

They claim that there are Buddhas everywhere in the Three Realms and Ten Directions, and their number is like the sand of the Ni River.

In the past, there were seven Buddhas and the Buddha of Burning Lamps;

In the future, there will be Lu Junyong Buddha;

In the East, there is the Medicine Buddha;

There is Amitabha Buddha in the West......

Even those who "put down the butcher's knife" can "become a Buddha on the ground".

It can be seen that anyone who has "attained complete merit" can become a Buddha.

And the basic sign of the perfection of merit is to have a "Buddha body". The so-called "Buddha body" has both the meaning of "body" and the meaning of "gathering".

The body of a Buddha is also a body of Buddha that has been achieved by accumulating merit and enlightenment.

To put it simply, anyone who has three or more bodies has become a Buddha. Therefore, the Buddhist scriptures say: "The three Buddhas (bodies) are all accomplished according to the (Buddha) Dharma, which is why they are called Dharma Bodies." "

How many Dharmakaya bodies does Avalokiteshvara have?

Only the king of Miaozhuang has seen and heard: the West Heaven Baoyi Master, Xinglin Great Compassion Bodhisattva, the Three Emperor Gu Miaoyin, the Thousand Eyes Guanyin of the Dry Hand, the Fish Basket Sister of the Fish Basket Country - the Clavicle Bodhisattva, and the Zigu of He Country - the white-clothed Guanyin and so on.

What's more, there are also the 33 Guanyin of Miaozhuang, which is unknown to the king of Miaozhuang, such as the Goddess of Mercy, the Goddess of Mercy with a long belt, the Goddess of Mercy with a child, the Goddess of Mercy with 36 arms, the Goddess of Mercy with the willows, the Goddess of Mercy with a dragon's head, the Goddess of Mercy with the Sutra, the Goddess of Mercy with a round light, the Goddess of Mercy with medicine, the Goddess of Mercy for the extension of life, and the Goddess of Mercy with sprinkling water.

According to the sixth volume of the Great Lengyan Sutra, in order to save suffering sentient beings, Guanyin Bodhisattva can also manifest 32 kinds of incarnation forms, such as the Buddha body, the solitary consciousness body, the sound body, the great freedom body, the heavenly general body, the heavenly king body, the heavenly prince body, the dragon body, and the medicine fork body.

In that case, why can't we become a Buddha?

Persuade the Bodhisattva - Empress Baode carefully explained to King Miaozhuang, Guanyin first cut his hands and eyes to save King Miaozhuang, lost the three-pin lotus platform, and offended the Buddha, and later offended the Emperor of Heaven because of a bet with the Emperor of Heaven to aspire to purify all sentient beings, and persuaded King Miaozhuang to give up the throne and practice hard. Later, King Miaozhuang finally achieved positive results under the guidance of the Bodhisattva and Guanyin.

As I have already explained, King Miaozhuang accidentally killed 500 literati and attracted the desperate bite of 500 mosquitoes, resulting in poisonous sores and rotting all over the body.

Because King Miao Zhuang has the hands and eyes of Guanyin Bodhisattva to protect his body, the mosquitoes will not dare to suck his blood anymore.

However, after all, those mosquitoes are the change of the souls of the literati, different from the ordinary ignorant and stupid insects, they are all together with each other, and they feel that killing people to pay for their lives, paying off debts, and it is natural and righteous. King Miao Zhuang owes them a blood debt, and it is not too much to ask him to repay it with blood.

Since Guanyin Bodhisattva wants to protect King Miaozhuang, they have to go to Guanyin to comment. If she can't convince people with reason, they will eat her flesh and suck her blood, and see if she, a bodhisattva, dares to bend the law for personal gain. The five hundred mosquitoes flew to the Chaoyin Cave to see that Guanyin Niangniang was not there, but the lotus throne was still on a big rock.

They thought that Guanyin Niangniang was deliberately avoiding them because they knew they were coming, so they shouted nonsense.

This one says, "It is a disaster that cannot be escaped, and it is not a disaster to escape." The Bodhisattva also wants to slip his head, and he is clearly not a righteous gentleman. "

The one said, "You can't escape the fifteenth day of junior high school." We live here, and she's going to show up someday. "

A few more said: "Just sit in this way, it is not a way to be hungry, I heard that the lotus throne is a sacred relic of Buddhism, and eating it can not only fill the stomach, but also live forever!"

Before the words were finished, the mosquitoes swarmed up and surrounded the lotus throne, and I gnawed on it one by one.

In fact, at that time, Guanyin Niangniang did not deliberately avoid them, but went to the fish basket country to teach Buddhist scriptures.

On this day, Guanyin Niangniang, who calls herself the eldest sister of the fish basket, is sitting in a sedan chair to be a bride!

As soon as the sedan chair entered the village, Guanyin Niangniang suddenly had a whim, and hurriedly pinched her fingers, secretly crying in her heart, "The twelve-grade lotus platform is the magic weapon of the Buddhist family given by the Buddha himself, so that those greedy mosquitoes have eaten up, what can I do to save the suffering?"

Guanyin Niangniang originally planned to visit the church and get married, and made it clear to Ma Lang that she intended to promote Buddhism, and then subsidize him with some money, and then return to Putuo Mountain after marrying a family. Unexpectedly, there was such a fork at the critical moment, if you don't go back, the lotus throne will let the mosquitoes eat up.

There was no way, she had to use a little trick, after entering the door, she suddenly "contracted the disease and died", left without resignation, said goodbye, and came back after the mosquito incident was quelled. Unexpectedly, as soon as she left with her front foot, the Ma family "buried the corpse on the golden beach", turning a happy event into a funeral.

Guanyin Niangniang hurried slowly, and when she arrived at Chaoyin Cave, the twelve-rank lotus platform had already been eaten by them. Since then, the Buddhists have only been able to build the Nine Rank Lotus Terrace.

The so-called "Jiupin Lotus Platform ascends to the other side, and there will be a sand gate after a thousand years" was handed down at that time.
