284 Confluence of Buddhism and Taoism 2

However, it is said that the two masters and apprentices of the Changmei real person and the old Taoist master and apprentice of the dry machine came to the Peacock Country of Xiniu Hezhou by the clouds, and after landing, they saw that the mortals here all looked peaceful and had a peaceful temperament, which was very different from the weather in Middle-earth.

Seeing this, the old Taoist of the dryer said to Changmei Zhenren:

"Buddhism is the way to enter the WTO, and it is indeed different from the Taoism of China. ”

When Changmei Zhenren heard this, he also nodded in agreement. At this moment, two Zen masters came out of the city, one of them was wearing a big red robe, his face was full of beard, but his whole body had his own Buddha light. It is the Bodhidharma Zen master who once passed down the lineage of Zen Buddhism in Middle-earth.

The other was dressed in tattered clothes, holding a broken fan and wearing an old monk's hat. It is the Zen master of the Dragon Descending Arhat Daoji.

The two Zen masters laughed and laughed after seeing the real person with long eyebrows and the old way of the dryer:

"Fortunately, fortunately, a real person is here today!"

When Changmei Zhenren heard this, he saw that the two monks were polite, and he was also a little happy in his heart, so he stepped forward and said with a smile:

"The two poor Dao and the little apprentice have seen two eminent monks. ”

Zen Master Bodhidharma stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Real people don't have to be polite, please enter the city to meet all your Taoist friends. ”

Changmei Zhenren thanked Zen Master Bodhidharma, and then followed the two Zen masters into the sage courtyard in the city. This courtyard is the peacock prince to repair, specially for all kinds of real people and immortals to meet and discuss the Tao.

After Changmei Zhenren entered the courtyard, he saw that this place was full of friends, including the scattered immortals who practiced in seclusion in Middle Earth, and the Arhat Zen master of Western Bliss. There is also the Bodhisattva Venerable in the Great Lei Yin Temple. The peacock prince invited him to gather here and discuss.

Zen Master Bodhidharma invited the old man of Changmei into the seat, and even if there was a little novice to offer Suguo Ling tea. Bodhidharma Zen Master also introduced several friends to Changmei Zhenren, including the East China Sea Qiluo Island Sanxian Shuiyun Zhenren, and the Da Lei Yin Temple Amodoli Venerable, both of whom are golden immortals of Buddhism and Taoism.

Changmei Zhenren talked about the metaphysical Tao with Zen Master Bodhidharma and others, but he also felt that he had gained a lot. After another day, there were three Bodhisattvas Manjushri, Puxian, and Guanyin.

It turned out that after a big battle between the three bodhisattvas from the underworld and the Asura clan and the Wu clan, they were all seriously injured and their vitality was greatly damaged. Especially Guanyin Bodhisattva, she was cut off by the Styx Sect Ancestor with the Yuantu Sword, and after returning to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea, she couldn't be cured even after using all her magical means.

Guanyin Bodhisattva was helpless, and rushed to Lingshan Da Lei Yin Temple for help, just as the Buddha and all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas returned to the Lei Yin Treasure Temple. The Buddha was also injured by the sword of the Styx Sect Ancestor, but after all, the Buddha was profound, and he had already vaporized the sword with the power of the Buddha of the Light King.

But in the face of Guanyin Bodhisattva's injury, the Buddha was helpless. Seeing that there was a miserable green phosgene swirling in the place where the Bodhisattva's broken arm was broken. The Buddha said:

"This is an innate poison, and if you want to get rid of it, you have to retreat and meditate, and practice for 365 years with the light of the Buddha. But now that the catastrophe is coming, the Three Realms is an eventful time. You can go to Elysium and ask Amitabha Buddha to have mercy and healing. ”

When Guanyin Bodhisattva heard this, he rushed to the Elysian World with Manjushri, Fuxian Bodhisattva and others to seek Amitabha Buddha's treatment.

Amitabha Buddha is the head of Buddhism, the most compassionate, he saw the suffering of all the Bodhisattva Buddhas, so he gave the Eight Treasures of merit water, so that all the Bodhisattva Buddhas used this water to wash their wounds.

The water of the Eight Treasures of Merit contains the compassionate wish power of Amitabha Buddha and has incredible divine power. After washing the wounds with this water, the bodhisattvas expelled the poisonous gas and recovered from the wounds.

After everyone's injuries were healed, Maitreya Buddha stepped forward and prayed:

"My Buddha is above, and now the golden bodies of the three Bodhisattvas have been broken by the karma of the Styx Sect Ancestors, and I hope that my Buddha will show great compassionate magic power and help the three Bodhisattvas rebuild their golden bodies. ”

This Maitreya Buddha is a personal disciple of Amitabha Buddha, and after hearing this, the three Bodhisattvas also came forward to worship the Buddha together. Amitabha Buddha replied:

"Life and death are impermanent, the vacuum is not empty, now the three of you have broken the golden body by karma, this is the calamity of karma, although I now have supernatural powers, but I can't help you. If you want to refine the golden body, you can go to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, please ask Brother Zhun Ti to help. ”

When the three Bodhisattvas heard this, they remembered that during the Battle of the Gods, it was the Quasi-Ti Daoist who opened their Mud Pill Palace and helped them refine the Golden Body Dharma. Now that the golden body has been destroyed, it is time to go and see the quasi-Daoist.

The three bodhisattvas hurriedly thanked Amitabha, and then left the Elysium and rushed to the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain. When I arrived at the Sanxing Cave, I saw the quasi-Taoist sitting on the Qibao Lotus Platform, and below the Lotus Platform, there was an ancient Buddha sitting cross-legged with a vulture lamp.

It turned out that the Huaguang Bodhisattva transformed by the light of the vulture was scattered by the Xingtian Xiangliu, and the Yuan Shen was poisoned by the Xiangliu again. If it weren't for the burning lamp of the ancient Buddha to protect the true spirit of Huaguang Bodhisattva with the light of the Buddha, almost all the gods would have been extinguished at this time.

Because the ancient Buddha couldn't be cured, he brought a vulture lamp and came to Fangcun Mountain to ask for help from the Zhun Ti Taoist.

The quasi-Tidao people saw that the vulture lamp was dim, and there was a black gas swirling in the fire, although there was a lamp burning the ancient Buddha's silent Buddha light, it could not be dispelled. And Huaguang Bodhisattva was full of pain in the lamplight, and from time to time he transformed into a human form, but he couldn't maintain it in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the quasi-Daoist sighed and said:

"Poor and pitiful, contaminated with calamity, this is the end. ”

After the quasi-Daoist finished speaking, he brushed the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in his hand forward, and suddenly a colorful divine light flew out, circling around the vulture lamp, but in a moment, the black gas in the fire was expelled.

Huaguang Bodhisattva shouted and transformed from the flames, although his face was pale, and he hurriedly thanked the quasi-Daoist.

The quasi-Daoist nodded, and then ordered the Huaguang Bodhisattva to go back to recuperate, and then looked at the three Bodhisattvas and sighed:

"This is the battle of the gods, before the cause and effect of the present, you can't get rid of it. ”

After the quasi-Taoist finished speaking, he ordered the water and fire boy to cut three pieces of Bodhi wood in the Sanxing Cave, and three golden lotus flowers were picked in the Bade Pool. The boy took the command and quickly brought the bodhi wood and the golden lotus.

The quasi-Ti Daoist pointed his hand, and the three Bodhisattvas opened the door of heaven, and the Bodhi Divine Wood turned into three streams of pure qi and flew into the purple mansion of the three Bodhisattvas. Then the quasi-Taoist silently recited the mantra, and with a sound, the clear qi rushed out of the top door and turned into three golden bodies, which was to return to the source and not destroy the body, and the immortal Buddha body would not be damaged by ten thousand catastrophes.

After the Quasi-Ti Daoist helped the three Bodhisattvas refine their golden bodies, they then pointed their hands, and the golden lotus turned into divine light and flew into the purple mansion of the three people. The Prospective Pathist then instructed:

"If today's book is incomplete, the cause and effect of the War of the Gods broke out, and the other three of them will have a catastrophe, and they must be resolved with compassion. These three golden lotuses will help the three of you to overcome the calamity. ”

When the three bodhisattvas heard this, they hurriedly thanked the prospective Taoist.

And the quasi-Ti Daoist left the three Bodhisattvas in the Sanxing Cave and listened to him talk about the Golden Body Dafa for a day. On the second day, the Zhun Ti Taoist sat silently for a long time, and then ordered the three of them to go down the mountain and go to the Peacock Kingdom on earth to meet the immortals and Buddhas of Middle Earth.

The three Bodhisattvas didn't know what they meant, but they still obeyed the decree of the Quasi-Daoist, and when they came to the Peacock Country, they saw Dongtu Changmei Zhenren and other immortals. The hearts of the three bodhisattvas moved, and they already understood the meaning of the quasi-Daoist.

It turned out that the three of them were sent here by the Zhun Ti Dao people in order to make the Western Dharma and the Eastern Dao Dharma exchange with each other. Prepare for the future spread of the Dharma.

The three bodhisattvas took the stage in turn and preached the Dharma of Buddhism. These three people were originally disciples of Yuan Shi Tianzun and were proficient in the Yuqing Immortal Method. Later, he entered Buddhism and worshiped the Buddha as the leader. The Buddha is even more proficient in Taiqing, Shangqing, and Buddhism.

The three bodhisattvas studied Buddhism from the Buddha, and later often consulted Amitabha Buddha. Now he is really proficient in Buddhism, and he is a model of fellow practitioners of Buddhism.

Changmei Zhenren listened to the Dharma for a few days, and I really felt that I benefited a lot. The method of Buddhism is subtle and mysterious, and every time you work hard in the smallest places, it is easier for people to go deeper than the Taiqing immortal method passed on by Lao Jun.

Therefore, whether it is a real person with long eyebrows, or other scattered immortals in Dongtu, they all feel that this trip is in vain.

After another day, that Kong Xuan and Wuyun Immortal came here with a lot of Eastern Earth Scattered Immortals. Changmei real people can see clearly, and see that there are several Taoists from the Heavenly Master Sect, as well as several Taoist priests from the Maoshan School, all of whom are famous sects in Middle-earth.

Immediately, all the immortals got to know each other and discussed Dafa together. Kong Xuan even introduced a Xitutoutuo to the real person of Changmei. This head Buddha once practiced the ascetic method of Buddhism, and his temperament was steady and resolute. It's just that because of his mental fortitude, he inevitably lacks some agility, and his practice of Buddhism is a little slow.

Kong Xuan said to Changmei:

"True person, this person is resolute and steady in nature, and it is the safest to cultivate the method of Taiqing. Today, he was able to meet a real person, and it must be a great fate. If a real person wants to rejuvenate the Taoist system of Emei, why not accept this person as a disciple? In the future, when Emei is prosperous, it will also be a good thing. ”

When Changmei Zhenren heard this, he saw that this head had a beautiful face and was full of aura, and he was really a good seedling of cultivation. This head Tuo is also very clever, and after listening to Kong Xuan's words, he hurriedly begged Changmei to be humane:

"The kid is ignorant, and he still hopes that the immortal will include it. ”

Changmei Zhenren was a little difficult to decide, so he asked Kong Xuandao:

"This son is clearly cultivating the Dharma of Buddhism, and now there is also some heat, wouldn't it be a pity if he followed me to the Dao Method?"

Kong Xuan laughed when he heard this:

"Real people are in the same place, Taoism and Buddhism are all avenues, and there is no contradiction between them. Just like the three bodhisattvas, they are both proficient in the Dharma and good at the Tao, so why not be a fellow practitioner of the Buddha?"

When Changmei Zhenren heard this, he let go of his worries and accepted this ascetic head as a disciple on the spot.

Seeing this, Kong Xuan was very happy in his heart. After a few days of this, the guests and hosts were really happy, and everyone was very happy.

Speaking of Jiang Ziya, Guang Chengzi and others, they went their separate ways to find the reclusive scattered immortals in various parts of Middle-earth. I didn't know that after a few days, many people disappeared. The Xuandu Grand Master is profound, busy with the innate gossip to calculate, and after counting the number of days, the Xuandu Grand Master is secretly angry in his heart, this Buddhism made a secret Chen Cang, and invited the immortals of Middle Earth to the West, which is really unreasonable!

The Grand Master of Xuandu no longer looked for scattered immortals, and even if he used secret techniques, he gathered Guangchengzi, Jiang Ziya and other immortals together to discuss how to deal with them.
