Chapter 845: Humane Saint
Although life is short, there are births, old age, sickness and death.
Before becoming a monk, Siddhartha Gautama experienced love and hatred, and after becoming a monk, Shakyamuni saw all kinds of sufferings in the world, and gradually realized in birth, old age, sickness and death, and finally became a Buddha on the ground.
At the moment of his death, the results of his work were consummated.
His decaying body was turned into ashes in the flames, or he made relics, and his mantle bearer, Kasya, and the Sangha continued to spread his Dharma, and the voices of monks were everywhere in that land:
"The World-Honored One ...... While He Was Alive"
"The World-Honored One Enlightened ...... Under the Bodhisattva Tree"
"The World-Honored One ...... in the King's Castle"
All these sounds reached the ears of Shakyamuni Buddha.
He smiled and concluded the Dharma seals, and began to preach his Mahayana Dharma to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on Lingshan, starting with the Three Dharma Seals, and then moving on to the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, the Twelve Dependent Origins, and the Thirty-Seven Paths......
The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are fascinated by hearing this, even if they burn the lamp, they frequently lose their minds, because the starting point of Mahayana Buddhism is very low, but the intention is extremely high, and all living beings in the world can practice, ants, moths, and among them, and the height that can be achieved depends on each person's practice, or each person has his own fate.
This alone is much more than Hinayana Buddhism.
Burning the lamp, Maitreya, and the medicine master were in awe of the tall Buddha who sat on the 12-pin lotus platform and preached the Dharma.
Lijiao said that he was already qualified to be an ancestor.
Since then, there has been one more Buddha in the West, the ancestor of all Buddhas.
All other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will call themselves disciples before him.
Because they are cultivating His Fa and walking His Way.
The Buddha said in Lingshan that when Venerable Kasa was preaching in India, Confucius, who was born ten years later than Shakyamuni in the eastern land, also completed his "Spring and Autumn" magnum opus.
They were almost born in the same era, one east and one west, but they are two humane saints, of course, they also asked another humane saint the same way, that saint also has an identity, that is, the head of the human sect, Confucius asked Lao Tzu for the aisle, Xiang Shi Kuang learned the piano, the master learned "Shao" in Qi Xiang Shi Kuang, and he didn't know the taste of meat in March.
When the Master returned from his travels around the world, he wrote a book and said that there were 3,000 disciples and 72 sages under his disciples.
That is, there are 3,000 disciples of Confucius, and there are 72 masters.
This year, Confucius was seventy-one years old, and his favorite disciple Yan Hui had already passed away before him, which was the most painful thing for Confucius.
On this day, Confucius stood by the door, and his disciples brought chairs, but he did not sit down.
Soon, a woman in Tsing Yi came to visit.
A smile appeared on the face of Confucius's years carved with traces.
"Coming?"
"It's coming. ”
Confucius politely let the woman go first, and he then entered the room, but his disciples were shocked, not only because of the disagreement with the courtesy, but also because of Confucius's status today.
He was already a living sage, and they really couldn't think of anyone else who could make the teacher wait for so long and be polite, and still so young.
Indoors, Confucius and Shi Ji sit opposite each other.
Shi Ji smiled and asked, "When did you remember it?"
Confucius replied: "The year of knowing the destiny of heaven." ”
Shi Ji asked, "Does the deity have something to say to me?"
Confucius nodded: "Yes." ”
Shi Ji smiled and sat up slightly.
Confucius said: "I have seen too much, and there are too many variables, since this is the case, don't be obsessed, go with the flow, go as far as possible, it's best to go to the end of humanity to see, she will be waiting for you there." ”
Shi Ji's eyes drooped slightly, Confucius looked out the door, and the room was quiet.
The original purpose of her coming to the ancestral land was to find her roots, the roots of her lineage, that is, his ancestors, and then follow them from generation to generation to find their future selves, but humanity multiplies very quickly, a root will give birth to countless roots after a few generations, and the roots will marry and multiply, plus many variables, a little interference, there is a change, if there is a little change in two thousand years, the result will be completely different, whether there will be her.
So it seems to be a very simple thing, but it is actually extremely complicated to maintain, and more importantly, her cultivation cannot exceed a boundary, otherwise she will be forced to soar.
Therefore, even with the information that the deity had brought to her, she was still making slow progress.
Now the deity has changed her mind, so that she doesn't have to be obsessed with finding her roots, let her go with the flow of humanity, go back to see, and go to the end of humanity, this is much easier, she can listen to the piano all the way, look at the flowers, help people who want to help, and give a sword when they meet people who want to kill, and be free on the premise of not affecting the general trend of humanity.
As for why the deity changed her mind, and why she wanted to go to the end of humanity to see, she couldn't figure it out, so she didn't want to.
She just needs to maintain the length of this life, at least another 2,500 years, no, live another 5,000 years, and see.
Thinking of this, Shi Ji smiled.
Confucius turned around and smiled.
"It's time for me to go. ”
"It's time for me to go, too. ”
The same words, but with two meanings.
Confucius got up and sent Shi Ji out.
Confucius sent Shi Ji away according to the door, smiled, and called his disciples.
Confucius died three days later at the age of seventy-one.
Skull Mountain, immeasurable merit descended from the sky, Kong Xuan broke through the five realms in one day and stepped into the middle stage of great power.
"I went to a cause and effect. ”
The colorful divine light broke through the sky and pointed directly at the western spiritual mountain.
Shakyamuni, who preached Mahayana Buddhism, stopped preaching and got up and went out of the spiritual mountain to meet the enemy.
The two humane saints from the east and west of the land of humanity finally met here, and they made a big move as soon as they met.
The Buddha's light is vast, the five-colored divine light covers the sky, all the souls tremble, the gods and Buddhas are all shocked, the heaven and the earth are powerful, the supreme power, or dignified, or silent, they know that the rise of these two is unstoppable, and there will be two more big people between heaven and earth.
One sits in the west, and the other is in the south of the sky.
One is the ancestor in the west, and the other is the hegemon in the south.
