Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Great Wish
The remnants of Buddhist civilization are just remnants, not straw bales.
Among the twelve habitable worlds, it is certainly not easy to make a big disturbance within two worlds in succession.
The three Buddhas who are in the starry sky and incarnate as the great sun, the Medicine Buddha of the East, the Buddha Shakyamuni in the center, and the Buddha Amitabha of the West are high up and can ignore the affairs of the world.
Those Buddhas who exercise the authority of the three Buddhas and manage the affairs of the twelve habitable worlds and the bodhisattvas with special status (the pinnacle of the ninth-level great sages) cannot be ignored.
In response to the flames ignited in the two worlds, one after another Buddhist and Bodhisattva edicts were issued, demanding that the local Buddhist temples be extinguished as soon as possible and restore the previous peace.
As this happens, the space for Frist and Medici to maneuver continues to shrink, and Iris is under more pressure.
Fortunately, none of the three are fuel-efficient lamps.
The monk who has attained the bodhisattva status can hold out for a long time before he himself goes down.
Iris even has the strength to further expand and consolidate the scale and heritage of the Lotus Society.
For this, Iris has to thank those who rebelled in the name of the "Lotus Society".
These people not only shared the pressure, but also gave Iris the opportunity to hide the backbone of the True Lotus Society, and also provided a large number of reserve members of the True Lotus Society.
In such a situation, it can only be said that there is a certain number of drinks and pecks.
If it weren't for the extreme exploitation and exploitation of Buddhism, it would not have been possible for Iris to raise her arms and shout, and there would have been a situation where "the world gathers to respond, win food and follow".
It is in response to the words "self-inflicted, you cannot live".
After Iris, Forest, and Medici had been in full swing for several days, the excitement of the Guanglin County Mansion had finally arrived.
The large and small Buddhist temples in the Song Kingdom all received invitations from the king of Guanglin County, inviting young and promising monks to come to the recruitment meeting of the remnants of the Guanglin County Lord.
Based on the special status of the king of Guanglin County, and based on the fact that Buddhism needs one, several or even many secular courts to oppress and exploit the people, after receiving the invitation, all Buddhist temples in the Song Kingdom sent their own young handsome people to attend the meeting.
Some Buddhist temples are close to Guanglin Mansion, such as the White Horse Monastery, so they come faster and arrive earlier.
Some Buddhist temples are far away from Guanglin Mansion, such as Bianjing Ci'en Temple, which comes slower and arrives later.
Thirteen days after Link arrived at the palace of Guanglin County, all the monks of appropriate age who were determined to attend the meeting finally arrived, and the recruitment meeting began.
The venue was set up in a small square specially opened up by the county king's mansion.
More than 300 monks came to the small square in a certain order and took their seats according to the signs.
The main axis arrived at the head of the monk, who was the personal disciple of the abbot of Bianjing Ci'en Temple.
According to legend, the king of Guanglin County fell in love with the monk Nengqing early, wanted to climb high, and begged the monk to marry the county lord.
The young monks of other Buddhist temples are just running along, and it is impossible to hold the beauty.
This rumor, fueled by a well-wisher, entered Link's ears early.
In response to this, Link only laughed a little, and then treated it indifferently, just looked at it a little more when he saw Monk Nengqing.
"Senior brother, do you have an opinion about him?"
Monk Lichen keenly noticed that something was wrong, and the fox asked.
After that day, Monk Lichen locked himself in his room for three whole days, not thinking about tea, not wanting food, and meditating hard.
In the end, he really couldn't think of a reason, and the monk couldn't help but be furious, and angrily decided not to drill the horns.
What Buddha cultivation and worship Buddha, what lifeless master or living master, what human Buddha land or human suffering sea, all flash aside.
All compassion, pity, and suspicion were all suppressed in the bottom of the heart by the dust monk.
When he reappeared in Link's sight, it was as if nothing had happened.
Link did not comment on this, neither surprised nor excluded, and accepted it casually.
Hearing Monk Chen's question, Link smiled and didn't answer.
Seeing this, Monk Lichen knew that after he woke up from his injury, his younger disciple, who was getting more and more different, was reluctant to answer this question, and said to himself: "Even if you have an opinion about him, you have to hold back." Our White Horse Monastery can't afford to provoke the Temple of Mercy and Grace. โ
"Hmm."
Link nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the meaning of Monk Chen, and he did not have the idea of troublesome with Monk Nengqing.
In the boudoir of the county lord.
Lotsnow's voice came out of the vanity mirror and into Jasmine's ears:
"Look, look, my cheap big brother is not vinegar at all.
Cheap sister-in-law, cheap brother, I really don't feel worth it for you.
You are so dedicated to planning for him and paying for him, but he is not even willing to deal with a small monk who can qing, just because the White Horse Monastery can't afford to provoke the Temple of Mercy and Grace.
Oh, my God!
What is the Temple of Mercy and Grace?
A fire burned the matter.
Cheap big brother really doesn't value you too much, cheap sister-in-law. โ
With Lotsnow's chatter, Jasmine's brows became tighter and tighter, and an impatient look appeared on her face, and the voice scolded: "Can you shut up!" Cheap to come and go all day, bothered? โ
"Ahh......h Tut-tut......"
Lotsnow didn't feel embarrassed at all, and continued to make fun of the voice, "When it comes to cheap big brother, you're in a hurry." Tut-tut......"
Bang.
Not wanting to waste her words with Lotsnow, Jasmine snapped the dressing mirror on the dresser and cut off the transmission connection.
The maid on the side was startled, and wondered if the recruitment conference was about to officially start, and the county lord had endured it for so long, and finally didn't want to endure it anymore?
Do you want to notify the county king quickly to prevent the county lord from messing around?
Just when the maid hesitated, Jasmine had already regained her composure, and then continued to pay attention to the scene of the recruitment conference with the secret method of the Lotsnow Sect.
The auspicious time has come, and the king of Guanglin County stood on the podium in the center of the small square and said loudly:
"Welcome to the residence of the little king.
Xiao Wang is stupid and can't speak, and the little girl's son-in-law recruitment conference will officially begin.
The process is very simple, that is, every senior monk comes to the stage to talk about a piece of Buddhism.
Xiao Wang thinks that the three monks who spoke well and the monks also think that they spoke well are the final candidates.
The younger girl will choose one of the three candidates to be her husband. โ
After saying this, whether it was the more than 300 monks present, or Lotsnow who was secretly observing, and Jasmine who was staying in the boudoir, the eyes of the king of Guanglin County were a little strange.
Is this the fucking performance that the first heir to the throne of a country should have?
It's not mentally retarded, it's just too low.
It's obviously a great thing, but from the mouth of the king of Guanglin County, why does it feel so much like a sales recommendation and pick-and-pick in the market?
(โฏโกโฐ)
"Ahem......"
Facing many strange eyes, King Guanglin seemed to notice something, a little embarrassment appeared on his face, and he used the action of clearing his throat to hide this emotion, and then said, "Let's start." โ
Leaving this sentence, the king of Guanglin County almost fled and stepped off the lecture platform.
More than half of the more than 300 monks looked at the King of Guanglin County with even more strange eyes.
The host is leaving?
There are no rules for who to start with the first lecture, how long to speak, and in what order to go down?
Or is it decided, but you forgot to say it?
However, the king of Guanglin County didn't seem to notice this weirdness, and with many strange eyes, the old god sat on the main seat on the ground, looking at his nose and nose, and his heart was very calm.
For a time, the atmosphere of the small square was quite wonderful.
Lotsnow, who was secretly observing, looked at the King of Guanglin County with a change in his eyes.
Hey......
It's kind of interesting.
Of the more than 300 monks seated around the podium, Link muttered in his heart.
In the future, if anyone whispers in his ear that the king of Guanglin County is a straw bag, he will definitely be ironic, thinking that the person who is the king of Guanglin County is a straw bag is the real straw bag.
It is also possible that people are wise and foolish, pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.
But whether it is or not, Link doesn't care about this, he just wants to use this Guanglin County Lord Son-in-law Recruitment Conference to do something.
Thinking like this, Link ignored Monk Chen's surprise, stood up, broke the wonderful atmosphere of the small square, and walked onto the podium with a steady step.
The crabs were there, and they always had to be eaten, and no one dared to eat them, so he made the first one.
Standing on the podium, Link folded his hands, circled around, fulfilled the number of courtesies, and then spoke: "The White Horse Monastery has seen all the initiates. I have a puzzle and want to take advantage of the Guanglin County Lord Son-in-law Conference to seek answers from fellow practitioners. โ
After a pause, Link ignored the equally strange gazes of the more than three hundred monks looking at him, and said aloud:
"I have heard that there are three vehicles of Buddhism, namely the shravakayana, the prajnayama, and the bodhisattva vehicle.
The practice of the Four Noble Truths, from ordinary people to arhats, talks about time, the fastest ones have three lives, and the late ones have sixty eons, and there are seven conveniences for their practice, and there are four fruits: Sudra Huanguo, Situ Hanguo, Ana Hanguo, and Arhat Fruit.
Yuanjue multiplication and cultivation of twelve karma, from the ordinary man to the Buddha of the branch, on time, the fastest one is four lives, and the late one is a hundred eons, and its practice focuses on enlightenment, and where the enlightenment is everywhere, it is everywhere the evidence, so there is no obvious rank at all.
The Bodhisattva seeks the supreme bodhi, and is willing to save all sentient beings, cultivate the six degrees of ten thousand actions, and use these six degrees as a multiplication to reach the other side of the supreme bodhi's great nirvana.
The first two vehicles are self-interested, altruistic, and aim for self-improvement and liberation;
The latter is self-benefiting and altruistic, with the aim of bringing immeasurable sentient beings to the other side.
I don't know which vehicle are you cultivating? And how to fix it? โ
Link's words are very simple and straightforward, not to mention monks who have studied Buddhism for many years, even lay people who practice at home can understand it.
But it is precisely because of its simplicity and straightforwardness that it is more powerful.
Previously, the atmosphere in the small square was nothing but wonderful.
Now, the atmosphere in the small square is extremely awkward.
For no other reason, the vast majority of the monks present did not practice the Dharma of the Shravaka and the Buddha of the Enlightenment Vehicle, let alone the Dharma of the Bodhisattva Vehicle!
Many monks don't even know what kind of Dharma they are practicing and whether it is Dharma or not!
They just listened to the teachings of Buddhist temples, eminent monks, masters, and senior brothers, and blindly worshipped, without thinking or practicing.
Even Buddhist monasteries, eminent monks, masters, and senior brothers occasionally say that they practice Mahayana Buddhism, that is, the Bodhisattva Dharma.
But......
Seek the supreme Bodhi, and wish to save all sentient beings?
However, any enlightened monk who has read the Buddhist scriptures of the Bodhisattva Vehicle, and then looks at the reality of the world, will not believe that they are practicing the Bodhisattva Vehicle.
This is where the contradiction arises.
In the face of this extremely fragmented contradiction, the vast majority of monks chose to close off their "wisdom", blindly following the "law" of Buddhist temples, eminent monks, masters, and senior brothers, and did not look at the truth of the world, the real world.
They live in the Pure Land, bathed in the light of the Buddha and enjoy offerings.
Deserved!
A very small number of monks, such as the Wusheng Master who had placed orders at the White Horse Monastery, did not choose to escape, but they did not have the wisdom and courage to cultivate the true Bodhisattva vehicle.
Therefore, the White Horse Monastery said that Master Wusheng chose to reincarnate and re-cultivate because he could not cultivate the Buddha, which is also correct and does not lie.
Link's words seemed to be asking for advice, but in fact he was pointing at the noses of the monks present and scolding: bald donkey.
The hypocrisy of more than 300 monks was completely torn off.
Monk Lichen's mood at the moment is very complicated.
He was both distressed by being questioned again and relieved by the fact that many of the monks present felt the same pain.
It's an unspeakable emotion.
The king of Guanglin, who was sitting on the host's seat, felt a little uncomfortable.
This monk of the White Horse Monastery is not only a supernatural cultivator, but also a profound Dharma.
Although the words are simple and straightforward, they go straight to the core, poking at the dark side of many monks' hearts, and making many people ashamed of themselves.
If you can't face your ugly heart, you are likely to leave the table in anger.
Isn't there a lot less competitors?
The means are really good......
What a fart!
It is true that the king of Guanglin County recruited a son-in-law for his daughter, and it is more true to please Buddhism, get close to Buddhism, and seek the backing of Buddhism!
Monk Fan is doing this, he is happy, what should he do with the true purpose of the king of Guanglin County?
Not to mention currying favor with Buddhism, getting close to Buddhism, and seeking the backing of Buddhism's forces, it is possible to offend Buddhism!
The reaction was more intense than that of the king of Guanglin was the monk Neng Qing from the Bianjing Ci'en Temple.
I saw that Monk Nengqing slowly stood up, his hands folded, his expression was solemn, and he looked at Link on the Dharma podium, his face suddenly became cold, and he said coldly: "Who are you from the evil demon outer way, who dare to defile the Taoist heart of our sincere Buddhist monks?" Still not showing its original form? โ
Hearing this, some monks reacted, immediately got up, and followed the words of the monk Nengqing and asked: "Where is the evil demon, who has not yet shown its original form, and is willing to ambush him?" โ
This change, the rabbit rises and falls, and it is very abrupt.
The king of Guanglin County was dumbfounded, the dust monk was stammered, Lotsnow couldn't stop laughing, and Jasmine frowned.
Link, who was on the podium, felt extremely "reasonable".
This is the appearance of the remnants of Buddhism in this world and even the entire Buddhist family, and the style of the people who practice Buddhism, during the period after he "seized the house", whether he read Buddhist scriptures, or watched the Zen monastery, or looked at the world!
Referring to the deer as a horse, reversing black and white, it is better to be.
In the face of many monks led by Monk Nengqing, Lin Ke folded his hands apart, formed the Jizo Root Seal, and announced loudly:
"The poor monk is mortal, and vows to save all sentient beings who are sinful and suffering, and they will reach Bodhi and become enlightened." (End of chapter)
