Chapter 237 Bodhisattva Vow

In the world, everyone regards Mount Emei as the dojo of Fuxian Bodhisattva. The four avenues of Buddhism, Mount Emei, are in the westernmost part. According to the order, Wuxu and Dorjee should go from Wutai Mountain, first to Jiuhua Mountain, and then to the west, to Emei Mountain. However, because of Jiuhua Mountain, it is now in Zhu Yuanzhang's sphere of influence, from Wutai Mountain from north to south, and it has to pass through the boundary of Yingtianfu. Therefore, Wuxu Duoji and the two have a tacit understanding, and they chose to go to Mount Emei to visit the Fuxian Bodhisattva Dojo first. Otherwise, after passing through Ying Tianfu and being seen, or the two of them saw something, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not show up and stop.

Wutai Mountain to Emei Mountain, thousands of miles apart. Wuxu and Duoji, each of them sacrificed out of the Dharma Realm, walked in the sky, looking at the Yuan army slowly moving everywhere under their feet, Chen Youliang's Han army, and Ming Yuzhen's Xia army, there was a vague feeling of squatting in the corner of the wall and watching the ants move when they were children.

Then he recited, "The vulture flies up to the Dharma Realm, and the world is full of ants." Dorjee said kindly, "The mountains and rivers are all loved, put down the butcher's knife and see the beautiful scenery." ”

The two of them traveled thousands of miles a day, and things under their feet were like marquees. In the meantime, there are beautiful mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery in the world where flowers bloom and the moon falls, and there is also its joy, which is miserable and miserable. It flashed by, but it was vivid, and it came one after another, but it was like the tide receding.

Wu Xuan then recited again, "In an instant, they are separated, and sorrow and joy are dispersed." Dorjee said kindly, "It seems that there is no intention to fight, but it is ruthless and annoyed." ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect that my senior brother was an amorous person. Wu said with a smile.

"There is a heart to fight like no heart, but it is ruthlessly annoyed", is the phrase in the Yuan song "The Legend of the West Chamber". Dorjee is used here, and Wuxu naturally understands, and it seems to have a faint implication of persuading himself. Yes, on the contrary, take the initiative to say that he is an amorous person first.

Dorjee smiled slightly, as if he couldn't help but joke about Wuxu, and hurriedly clasped his palms and lowered his eyebrows, wearing a refreshing plain monk's robe, lined with a slightly red face, like a lotus in the wind and a flower in the rain.

The two of them were like this, and they unconsciously arrived at the foot of Mount Emei.

Mount Emei, Fuxian Bodhisattva Dojo.

The former Manjushri Bodhisattva Dojo, Wutai Mountain, has a golden Wutai one. It seems that in the human world, there are four great avenues and four great bodhisattvas, with Mount Wutai and Manjushri as the head.

This is just a way of saying it in the world.

Manjushri Bodhisattva and Puxian Bodhisattva are separated from Shakyamuni Buddha. The three are collectively referred to as the "Three Sages of Huayan". In the final analysis, to put it simply, the three are actually Buddhas, all saints, but in the immeasurable eons, they manifest according to fate and surpass the world. The so-called Manjushri Bodhisattva is the mother of all Buddhas, and Puxian Bodhisattva is the eldest son of all Buddhas and Dharma Kings, which is also a convenient metaphor. The world divides the mother and child in the world, and says that Manjushri is the largest and most incredible among the four bodhisattvas.

In fact, Manjushri focuses on wisdom, and Puxian focuses on wishing. Wisdom and wish, separation from my Buddha's left and right, is just a metaphor for wisdom and wish, not separated. Faith is a wish. The so-called study of Buddhism requires faith and understanding, yes.

How do you understand that? It's very understandable.

Ladies and gentlemen, born in New China and grew up under the red flag, must have heard the saying, "The more knowledge, the more reactionary." ”

The phrase "the more knowledge, the more reactionary" actually has a premise, that is, the position is wrong.

The position is wrong, and the more knowledge there is, the more reactionary it becomes.

This position is what do you believe, whether you believe that color is empty and color, or do you believe that people will not be destroyed for themselves? Do you believe that labor is the most glorious, or do you believe that rich people are uncles?

Do you want to universalize all sentient beings, or do you want one person to feed the whole family and not go hungry? Do you want to liberate all the oppressed and exploited proletariats in the world, or do you want to be a big landlord, big capitalist, big bureaucracy?

The above is an analogy with the "more knowledge, the more reactionary it is" that you are familiar with.

Manjushri and Puxian Bodhisattva, serving the Buddha on the left and right, symbolizes that with great wisdom, you must also have true faith and right wishes, and conversely, if you have right beliefs and right wishes, you must also have great wisdom. In this way, one can become a Buddha.

It's like, if you want to liberate the whole world, but you are more mentally retarded and more S/B, then in the end, I am afraid it will not work. If you are very smart and clever, but you think about official hats and beauty bills all day long, then, in the end, being smart is also a dry elf, and you are also fake and smart, and I am afraid that you will not be able to withstand the temptation, and in the end you will be smart and misled, and you will go astray and harm others and yourself.

Speaking of this, all the officials are estimated to think of a word that makes the ears cocoon, and the moral, intellectual, and physical development is in an all-round way. Well, the all-round development of morality and wisdom is like the wisdom and wish in Buddhism. And the so-called merit has a similar meaning.

Of course, the above is just an analogy and a metaphor. The wisdom in Buddhism refers to great wisdom, true wisdom. The so-called eight consciousnesses, the wisdom of ordinary people, are nothing but the product of consciousness in the eight consciousnesses, and the so-called consciousness is nothing but the six impure roots that are in harmony with the karma of the past. And faith does not call you superstitious.

Speaking of which, there is no end. Don't say it, don't say it, stop there. Amitabha, good, good.

Xiaosheng is so inked, mainly to explain that the four bodhisattvas, regardless of superiority, should not have a separate mind and separate phases. It is also used to praise the fulfillment of the ten wishes of the Bodhisattva. It is also for this reason to praise the bodhisattva heart and universal wish of Mahayana Buddhism. It is also in this way that we praise the immeasurable merits of sending good hearts and making righteous wishes.

This is also some contemplation in Wuxu's heart when he flew down from the sky and stood at the foot of Mount Emei.

With this contemplation, Wuxu and Dorjee slowly climbed the stairs. When they arrived at the Fuxian Temple, the two faced the statue of the Bodhisattva who sat on the white elephant in the main hall, holding Ruyi and wearing a crown, and saluted respectfully. Because Dorjee was a Lamaist monk, he solemnly performed the ritual again, and then he and Wuxu respectfully withdrew and walked towards the Xingyuan Building behind the main hall.

When they arrived at the Xing Wish Building, Wuxu and Dorjee bowed with their palms together and silently made a vow.

When they reached the top of the mountain, the two walked silently, in the golden light of the vast sea of clouds, and while walking, they looked at the devout people in the temples in the mountain, burning incense and worshipping.

Reciting the Enlightenment of the Bodhisattva, "The Bodhisattva wishes to be boundless and protect the good thoughts of all beings." Boundless auspicious clouds of good thoughts, thousands of golden lights in front of you. "Dorjee and Dao," auspicious clouds are boundless and golden light appears, and it turns out that all beings have good thoughts. Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, the wind and clouds surged to the sky. ”

Wuxu turned sideways and glanced at Dorjee. Dorjee had no sorrow or joy, chanting the Buddha's name more than once, and slowly flew into the distance, but when he stopped, he was looking at a boundary below.

Wuxu, who slowly caught up, looked down with it, but saw a man and a woman below, strolling on the stone path, occasionally picking mountain flowers, smiling at the clouds and clouds, snuggling, laughing softly, and wandering into a temple. The man and woman entered the temple, came to the main hall, burned incense and worshipped, and walked hand in hand in the temple affectionately, walking briskly among the flowers and plants, and finally came to a side hall under a towering camphor tree. The two looked at each other and smiled at the door of the side hall, then stepped in, silenced their faces, knelt on the futon, folded their hands, and chanted words in their mouths. It is the "Fuxian Wish" that is recited.

Wuxu and Fuxian, stopping above for a moment, saw a wave of wishing power, rising from the heads of the two people below, like clouds and light, floating into the sky, shining into the Dharma realm of the two.

Seeing it, the Dao Wish Power that had entered his Dharma Realm immediately dissipated. I can't help but suddenly realize that now that my Dharma realm is gone, and I have no Buddha-figure, the desire of sentient beings is difficult for me to take. Looking at Dorjee again, the wishing power that was hard to see with the naked eye swam around the Dorjee Dharma Realm and then dissipated in the air. Just as he was about to speak, Dorjee was surprised and said, "The junior disciple Dharma Realm deity is Guanyin Bodhisattva, and he has received the power of the wish to return to the Puxian Bodhisattva, and it is really Cihang Pudu." ”

"Isn't it possible?" On Wutai Mountain, Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly appeared in the Dharma Realm of Enlightenment, which made Dorjee mistakenly think that the Dharma Realm of Enlightenment was Guanyin Bodhisattva. Wuxu knew that there was a difference, but it was not easy to explain. Seeing Dorjee say this at this moment, he asked puzzled according to Dorjee's words.

"Yes, of course. Dorjee groaned, and then told some of the reasons and listened to them. The monks of the Lamaist Dharma realm, each with their own deity. If a believer makes a wish to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, if his heart is sincere, then the power of the wish will be realized, and the Dharma Realm monks can receive one or two on their behalf according to the Buddha-figures they practice, and after receiving them, they must follow the Dharma and the precepts to fulfill their wishes. Just now, the man and the woman below, chanting the "Fuxian Wishes", are making a wish to the Fuxian Bodhisattva, and the Dharma Realm Buddha is the Dorjee of Manjushri Bodhisattva, so he avoids those wishes. And if the Dharma Realm Buddha-figure is practicing Guanyin Bodhisattva, not Puxian Bodhisattva, then generally speaking, Fang Cai should also avoid those wishes. If it is received, then it should be on behalf of the Bodhisattva, fulfill the wish of the man and the woman, and then recite the dedication to the Bodhisattva.

Wuxu listened silently. After understanding that the power of the mind can be strengthened/the Dharma Realm Buddha-figures, and even beneficial to the Dharma Realm itself, it is not difficult to understand this unwritten rule in Lamaism that Dorjee explained. It's like if someone on the river wants to cross the river, gets into a boat, and respectfully gives money to cross the river, and you are not the boatman, but you receive the money, then you have the duty to row the boat and send the person across the river, and you have to thank the real boatman, because you have benefited in the name of the boatman.

Wuxu smiled, bowed to the statue of Fuxian Bodhisattva Buddha in the side hall of the temple below, and then asked Dorjee, "In this way, Wuxu must go down to protect these two donors." ”

Dorjee also smiled, "Exactly. ”

Immediately, Wuxu and Dorjee flew down, hid their true faces, pretended to be two tourists, and also entered the temple and walked towards the side hall.

Standing at the door, I heard the woman muttering a wish in a low voice, "May the Bodhisattva bless, and the two of us will be united forever and grow old together." ”

Wuxu looked embarrassed, and secretly transmitted a voice to Dorjee, "Do I want to be an old man for the rest of my life?" Dorjee was quite experienced, and replied with a smile, "Hengshun sentient beings, if it is not for the Bodhisattva to prove that there is no way to endure life, it cannot be done." We can only follow the fate and do our best. Brother, look at me. As he spoke, his right hand was raised, and a pair of jade bracelets flew in front of the man and woman, glowing with a faint milky white brilliance in the air.

The man and the woman were surprised and delighted. Dorjee had a little finger, and the finger of the Buddha statue of the Bodhisattva in the side hall shot out a white light, hitting the pair of jade bracelets. The pair of jade bracelets, gently touching each other, made a crisp and pleasant sound, and then flew apart, but followed closely, like a phoenix, hovering in the air for a while, and then each flew to the wrists of the man and woman.

Wuxu can see that the pair of jade bracelets have been blessed by Dorjee, which has the effect of concentrating and calming the mind, exorcising demons and warding off evil spirits, and attracting each other. Immediately smiled and clasped his palms towards Dorjee.

At this time, in the side hall, the man and the woman almost cried with joy, and on the futon, they recited the Bodhisattva more devoutly.

Dorjee smiled at Wuxu and said with a smile, "A lover will eventually become a family, junior brother, you and I will return to the Bodhisattva." ”

Wuxu then worked with Dorjee, in the Dharma realm, each with his hands bound, the two middle fingers and fingers were erected together, and the three flavors of the Bodhisattva were knotted, and the mantra of the Bodhisattva was recited in his mouth.

After a while, when I realized the void, I saw a Buddha statue, riding a white elephant, wearing a golden crown on his head, holding a wish, and appeared in the Dharma realm in a hazy way. Wuxu knew that he was in the Fuxian Bodhisattva dojo, knotted the Puxian Bodhisattva Dharma seal, and recited the Fuxian Bodhisattva's mantra, naturally, the Dharma world had this induction, and there was this difference. Then he bowed to the hazy Buddha statue of the Bodhisattva who appeared in the Dharma Realm, and bowed with his palms.

At this time, many people, because they heard that the Bodhisattva of Fuxian appeared here, rushed over in an endless stream. From Wuxu and Duoji's side, he hurried by, walked into the side hall, and bowed his head. The latecomers knelt down outside the side hall and even outside the temple, reciting the name of the Bodhisattva.

After a while, a lot of wishing power poured into the realm of enlightenment. By the time Wuxu sensed that something was wrong, spread out his mudras, and stopped chanting, his Dharma realm was already like a pool full of water, and his wish power was like a tide, and it was everywhere.

These wishes are the deepest wishes in the heart of the person who asks for them. No matter what is revealed in the person who asks for it, on their lips, or in their hearts, but through their willingness, they can see their deepest and truest desires clearly. If you think about it a little, it is like seeing all the states of the world, tasting the warmth and coldness of the world, and gaining insight into the good and evil of human nature.

Seeing this, there is sympathy, pity, helplessness, sadness, anger, and admiration in my heart.

There are those who seek marriage, those who seek wealth, those who seek wealth and longevity, those who seek to get together, those who seek to climb, and those who seek not. There are also some sesame seeds that are big, mung beans small, trivial, and even housework that is difficult to break with clean officials.

Of course, there are those who ask for three wives and four concubines, those who ask for a good death, and those who ask for nothing for themselves. Even, there are scholars who beg the widow next door, there are old people who want to be happy with their sons, and there are parents who want to take away their property.

These good wishes and evil wishes are fragmented, large and small, numerous and chaotic, all kinds of things, and bizarre. It's dizzying and dazzling. Especially the ignorant, the greedy, the vicious, the insidious, the ugly, and the evil, which make the enlightenment humble and disgusted, and the nameless fire rises. He is about to operate the Dharma Realm and extinguish it, but he is afraid of the lonely, the humble, the suffering, the kind, the innocent, the pitiful, the admirable, the admirable.

Some people travel thousands of miles to just ask for the recovery of their mother, who has been bedridden for many years; some people burst into tears because they were forced to destroy their families and their wives and be separated by gangsters; some people are full of calluses but ask for a good harvest this year, pay the land rent, and have some surplus grain; some people are sad and only hope that their husbands will return as soon as possible and will not die on the battlefield; some people are full of spirit and vow to save the people from fire and water.

These righteous and good wishes, how can enlightenment not be extinguished because of those evil thoughts and evil wishes? But all the wishes are intertwined, and it is difficult to distinguish and difficult to break. What's more, those righteous wishes, eight times out of ten, nine times out of ten, Wuxu can't be powerless to respond and bless.

In the end, Wuxu had to tie the seal of the Bodhisattva and recite the mantra of the Bodhisattva. In the Dharma realm, the statue of the Buddha of the Bodhisattva of Fuxian appeared dimly, and those wishes immediately poured over like a tide.

The power of the outside continued to pour into the realm of enlightenment, and then flocked to the statue of the Bodhisattva Buddha. Gradually, he was a little dizzy, and in a trance, he seemed to hear wave after wave of shouts, whistling past his ears.

"I want, I want, I want"

"Kill Kill"

"Have mercy on me. ”

。。

Suddenly, there was a thunderclap in his ears, and Wuxu suddenly woke up and looked at Dorjee on the opposite side in amazement. Standing in the golden light of the sea of clouds, Dorjee recited with snow/mountain/lion/son/roar, clasped his palms, "The supreme and profound subtle method, millions of calamities are encountered. ”

These two sentences are the first two sentences of the opening verse of the Buddhist scriptures. According to legend, it was Wu Zetian, when he read the "Huayan Sutra", he felt the wonder of the scriptures and made them happy. Enlightenment of the void, because of the seal of the Bodhisattva, reciting the mantra of the Bodhisattva, in the Bodhisattva dojo, witnessing the will of all beings, contaminating the karma of all beings, such as through millions of eons. Dorjee roared with the lion of Buddhism, woke up Wuxu, and brought it to a high place, casting the Dharma realm to isolate all wishes, and seeing that Wuxu's expression was withering, and his intention was lacking, he recited these two opening verses.

"The supreme and profound subtle dharma has been encountered by millions of calamities. Wuxu muttered, through the auspicious clouds and golden light under his feet, looking at the heads of people like onions below, rolling turbid waves and wishing seas, and recited the last two sentences of this opening scripture, "I have seen and heard it today, and I wish to understand the true righteousness of the truth." ”

That's right

The supreme and profound subtle method has been encountered by millions of calamities.

I have seen and heard it now, and I am willing to interpret it as it comes.

(To put it mildly, writing about the Buddhist dojo cannot but involve some Buddhist teachings, the novel is just a joke, and you should read it as a novel, so as not to make a big mistake unintentionally and add cause and effect)
