Chapter 240

Jiuhua Mountain, Jizo Bodhisattva Dojo.

"Hell is not empty, you will not become a Buddha, all sentient beings will be exhausted, and Bodhi will be proven. This sentence is well known to the world. It is said that the Jizo Bodhisattva, with great compassion, made a great vow to save all sentient beings.

Among the Buddhist sects, there are only six ways to say. Heavenly Dao, Humanitarian Dao, Asura Dao, Animal Dao, Hungry Ghost Dao, Hell Dao. The so-called six realms of reincarnation are actually because there is a transformation of matter, and the divine consciousness has obsessions but bears cause and effect.

For example, if a person dies and is buried in the ground, his body decays and decomposes, and he becomes the earth's power, or he becomes a rock, or he becomes water, or he becomes qi, and returns to nature and becomes a part of this world. And if there is no support and practice, its consciousness will naturally gradually dissipate, like an invisible fluctuation, because it lacks a source of power, it will naturally stop or attach itself to something. As for what the physical body has incarnated, and what may be attached to it if the consciousness has not dissipated? It depends on the person's karma and karma for many lifetimes, the obsession of the divine consciousness, and the surrounding environment.

For example, after a person dies, his divine consciousness may be attached to the sea of consciousness of a beast due to the karma of his or her lifetime, and then it is called entering the animal path after death. If a person does many evils and sins heavily, after death, not only will he not be blessed to enter the heavenly realm, the asura path, or the human path, but he will not be able to enter the path of hungry ghosts or animals, and he will only go to hell and suffer all kinds of sufferings with the severity of his sinful karma.

This is the origin of the so-called hell path of Buddhism. The so-called "inside the Great Iron Fence Mountain." There are eighteen of its great hells. There were five hundred, each with different names. There are thousands of times, and the names are different. ”

According to some Chinese folk beliefs, after death, a ghost enters the underworld, Huangquan Road, Nai He Bridge, and Meng Po Tang, and then according to the good deeds of this life, or into the eighteen layers of hell, or reincarnated, reincarnated, or reincarnated in the emperor's house, or attached to the body of a pig and dog.

This is still different from the Buddhist statement.

And the Jizo Bodhisattva is adhering to the spirit of the Buddha and making a grand wish, "I will not be able to calculate the catastrophe in the future." For the sake of sentient beings in the six realms of sin and suffering, it is convenient to liberate them as much as possible. And I myself became a Buddha. "The so-called beings of the six realms of sin and suffering are beings who have fallen into the realm of hell.

Therefore, the beginning of the "Dizo Bodhisattva Sutra" is that the Bodhisattva incarnated as a Brahmin woman in a certain life, because she missed and worried about her dead mother, she gave generously, respectfully recited the Buddha, and then came to hell in the middle of concentration, and saw all kinds of horrors in hell, and then met the ghost king to know that because of her own merits, her mother had been freed from hell. In this way, it is especially emphasized and praised that the great wish and great virtue of the Jizo Bodhisattva is that those sinful beings who have fallen into the hellish path are also enlightened by the Bodhisattva.

In the world, grateful for his supreme great wishes, there are rumors that the Bodhisattva is the head of the underworld and is in charge of the ten halls of Yama. This is not recorded in the Buddhist scriptures, but it is manifested by the wishes of all beings in the world. Ladies and gentlemen, you must not ignore it.

And the so-called six paths of sin and suffering, naturally also include humane sin and suffering sentient beings, "Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra Sutra" has a teaching, "If there is a future life, there are all kinds of people." Lack of food and clothing. The seeker is obedient, or sick, or sick, or devastating... Such as people, etc. Hear the name of Jizo, see Jizo form. Be respectful and recite it 10,000 times. It is all unsatisfactory things, and gradually disappears. and be happy.."

Therefore, many people in the world, who have diseases, disabilities, and karma, ask for more from Jizo Bodhisattva. Ladies and gentlemen, it is estimated that you know that there is also a medicine master in Buddhism, who can cure all diseases. I guess I will jokingly ask, when I am sick, should I ask the Jizo Bodhisattva or the Medicine Master Buddha? Actually, I can ask the Buddha.

But you must understand where the root of the disease is. Jizo Bodhisattva, vow to spend all sentient beings in the six realms of sin and suffering. Focus on sin, focus on karma. Are you naturally sick and sick, similar to inadvertently feeling cold? Or are you breaking the vows and doing misdeeds, causing suffering? Getting sick because of sinful karma, asking for the Bodhisattva Jizo, relatively speaking, is more corresponding.

Enlightenment and practice Buddhism are naturally not like the general thoughts of mortals in the world, but when he suddenly heard that Song Zhaoyi led the White Lotus Sect to die tragically at the hands of foreign Taoists on the battlefield, he was extremely sad. I happened to be in Jiuhua Mountain, the Jizo Bodhisattva Dojo, so I couldn't help but think of the relevant chapters and sentences in the "Dizang Bodhisattva Original Wish Sutra", Fang folded his palms and recited, wishing that the Dizang Bodhisattva had great compassion, great power, great merit, and would be able to transform the White Lotus Sect members such as Song Zhaoyi, whose divine consciousness had been destroyed.

Song Zhaoyi and other members of the White Lotus Sect had lost their divine consciousness and were no longer among the six realms. Enlightenment and only wish to be the bodhisattva of the earth, according to common sense, in fact, there is no degree. However, when the Dharma Realm is destroyed by Enlightenment and Silence, when the killing precept is committed, the enemy's divine consciousness is extinguished and turned into something more fundamental than matter, which is absorbed by the Dharma Realm and turned into nourishment. Therefore, the realization of emptiness is the only wish, and the Jizo Bodhisattva can exert great / mana to take back those origin things that have been refined into the divine consciousness of Song Zhaoyi and other White Lotus Sect members from the hands of the outer Dao, so that they will not be exposed to evil tastes, will not be subject to bad karma, and will return to our Buddha and be quiet and nirvana.

This requirement is extremely high.

Dorjee was on the side, with the enlightenment, his hand knotted the root seal of Jizo Bodhisattva, and he recited the mantra of Jizo Bodhisattva, and after a long time, he was silent. Because, Dorjee did not have any induction with Jizo Bodhisattva.

And the same is true of Wuxu. Previously, Wuxu was to destroy the Dharma Realm with silence and commit the killing precept, and the Jizo Bodhisattva also had a spiritual response to help Wuxu extinguish the divine consciousness of the black-robed ghost cultivator Sun Nianzu. But this time, Wu Xuan recited the "Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra" a hundred and thousands times, but the Jizo Bodhisattva did not have any spiritual response.

Dorjee pondered for a moment, then stepped forward to comfort, "Senior Brother Wuxu, Wuxu is sad." The White Lotus Sect, although it is an overflow of the Hualien Mystic Law Sect, has been contaminated with a lot of foreign ways. Now, you and I are in the Jizo Bodhisattva dojo, sealing and chanting, but the Bodhisattva has no spiritual response. It can be seen that the White Lotus Sect disrespects the Three Jewels, distorts and tamperes with the Dharma, and has a heavy karma, and there is no infernal hell at the moment, which is karma. ”

After hearing this, Wuxu immediately cried loudly.

Dorjee's explanation is not unreasonable. In the Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra, it talks about many sinful karma that fall into the hellish realm. Disrespecting the Three Jewels, distorting and tampering with the Dharma, and introducing foreign teachings are one of them. The White Lotus Sect, which previously introduced Western Zoroastrianism and other teachings, has also distorted and tampered with Buddhist teachings in ordinary times, and even fallen into demons, and Liu Futong is an example.

But in this way, wouldn't it be that the members of the White Lotus Sect are guilty of heavy karma, and in this great calamity, they will suffer great retribution, their bodies will be destroyed, they will fall into the evil path, and even their divine consciousness will be destroyed. And now the Hualien Miaofa Sect, Shi Hai and others involved, including themselves who taught Liu Futong the Divine Mind Soul Summoning Technique, are they also riddled with bad karma and retribution in front of them?

With the torrent of history, they joined the White Lotus Sect and practiced Buddhism or foreign Taoism, but after all, they wanted to do the right thing for the heavens, drive out the Hulu, restore the Han Dynasty, and live and work in peace and contentment, and their hearts were always good and believed in Buddhism.

Even if, even if, after the uprising, they killed people, wantonly killed people, robbed people's money, robbed people's daughters, practiced evil and evil ways, and so on. But after all, there are only a few like this, and these people have their own Heavenly Dao, military discipline, and law.

Do they have to resign themselves to their fate, because of their sins in their previous lives, they will suffer in this life, they will be beaten in this life, they will sell their sons and daughters, or they will be cattle and horses in this life, but it is just a cycle of cause and effect. Don't rise up, don't rebel against life, otherwise, not only will you violate cause and effect, it will be an uprising, but it will also be nothing more than a mob bandit, burning, killing and looting, and committing a greater sin?

When Wuxu thought of this, he couldn't help but feel very sad and confused. At the beginning, it was precisely because of these confusions, many doubts and justifications that Wuxu was expelled from the mountain gate by Master Miaoyin.

Suffering and oppression, sentient beings joined the mighty White Lotus Sect and rose up to resist, but because the teachings of the White Lotus Sect were deviant and their actions were flawed, they were reprimanded as bandits, sentenced to the outside world, and vetoed them with one vote, and countless heads turned into skeletons in vain, and immeasurable blood suddenly turned into filth.

Song Zhaoyi and other White Lotus Sect members are an example. After the tragic death, the divine consciousness was also extinguished, and the Wuxu sincerely recited the "Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra", but there was no spiritual response.

Dorjee held Wu Xuan and said, "Senior brother, you and I are on the clouds, standing outside the mountain gate, I am afraid that there is disrespect, and the Jizo Bodhisattva has not appeared. ”

Enlighten the body of the void and enter the Dharma realm, hold the seal and chant the scriptures, and visualize with a devout mind, where is there any difference between the clouds and the mountain gate. However, listening to Dorjee's words, Wuxu said in a low voice, "Maybe so, I heard that the Silla Jizo Bhikkhus, the incarnation of Jizo Bodhisattva, has an incorruptible body and is placed in a stone pagoda. I'll wait and go, and visit and ask for advice. But there was a hint of questioning.

The two of them got off the clouds, pretended to be two wandering monks, followed the mountain gate, and came to the Shenguangling Dizang Tower.

The Jizo Pagoda is a place dedicated to the immortal body of the Silla Silla Jizo Bhikshu, and the believers are full of believers and incense. Wuxu and Dorjee were far away, around the pagoda, respectfully saluting, and then holding the seal and reciting the words.

Suddenly, the surrounding believers and pilgrims disappeared, and the cigarettes that filled the air quickly circulated and turned into pictures. Wu Xuan saw that it was Song Zhaoyi, who led the White Lotus Sect with red scarves around his arms, and fought with Zhang Shicheng's troops.

Countless chanting and admiration have also turned into countless killing sounds, shouts, and roars.

I saw that Song Zhaoyi, riding a chestnut horse and holding a spear, was fighting with a demon cultivator of the enemy army. That demon cultivator, who was also a spear, flew in the air, and while fighting with Song Zhaoyi's gun, he didn't spew green venom out of his mouth.

The venom sprayed out and scattered in all directions, gradually besieging the White Lotus Sect led by Song Zhaoyi. Those members of the White Lotus Sect, holding all kinds of weapons, chanted the name of Amitabha Buddha, held up a layer of enchantment, blocked those venoms from the outside, and at the same time gave rise to the phantom of the green lotus.

Wuxu knew at a glance that this was the Qinglian Reincarnation Array that he had passed down that day. The green lotus flowers were transformed by the mental power of the sects, layer upon layer, implying murderous intentions, and drifted towards the enemy army.

But he didn't want to, among the enemy troops, a demon monk flew up, turned his fingers into claws, and actually fixed the green lotus in midair, and then, several demonic qi gushed out from his fingertips and shot on the green lotus, instantly dyeing it black. After a while, a loud noise was heard, and the green lotus exploded one after another, and those White Lotus Sect members immediately snorted, spitting blood from their mouths, and their bodies swayed.

Looking at Song Zhaoyi again, he was already covered in scars at this moment, and he shook the spear in a panic, and shouted, "Quickly run the White Lotus Heart Method, concentrate and protect the body." Then he will lead his army back.

The demon cultivator who was fighting with him, looking at the protective white lotus that appeared behind Song Zhaoyi, sneered, threw the spear in his hand into the air, and spewed out a dark green gas from his mouth, the dark green qi wrapped the spear, like a green arrow, and in an instant, it flew behind Song Zhaoyi, broke its protective body white lotus, and flew out from its chest, bringing a green blood rain.

Song Zhaoyi died.

After losing the main general, the Qinglian Reincarnation Formation lost its eyes and then collapsed. The White Lotus Sect members below were shocked and hurriedly ran the White Lotus Heart Method, but the White Lotus had not yet condensed, and countless flying arrows and countless swords and guns had already poured out like a landslide.

In addition, countless skulls flew out of nowhere, surrounding Song Zhaoyi and the others.

In the midst of screams, Wuxu saw that the divine consciousness of Song Zhaoyi and others was swallowed up in panic.

This is the scene of Song Zhaoyi and other White Lotus Sect members, under the joint efforts of demon cultivators, demon cultivators, and ghost cultivators, leading Zhang Shicheng's soldiers to exterminate.

Wu Xu, clenched his fists, and said fiercely, "Senior Brother Song, but the cultivation of the fourth layer or so of the mortal dust, even if there are disciples of the White Lotus Sect to form my Qinglian Reincarnation Array, how can they resist the attack of three mortal dust sixth-layer outer Dao cultivators." Where are those righteous monks in Lushan?!"

There was a burst of crying in his ears, and Wu Xuan woke up to the fact that he was in Jiuhua Mountain, Dizang Bodhisattva Dojo, Shenguang Ridge, and under Dizang Tower. When I looked sideways, it was a woman, with a sad face, burning incense while burning paper and choking out.

At this moment, Wuxu is still reciting the Jizo Bodhisattva in the Dharma Realm, although this woman did not speak, Wuxu can see it at a glance.

This woman, after being happy, had a secret knot, but she was forced to quietly abort the baby. This time, when I came to Jiuhua Mountain, I couldn't stand the torment of the night, first, to overkill the dead fetus, and second, to confess to the Bodhisattva of Jizo.

There are many such things in later generations. There are women who, after having an abortion, feel ashamed of the fetus in their womb, which is equivalent to killing and breaking the precepts, and it is difficult to sleep and eat. He recited the "Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra", wishing that the fetus in the womb would be reborn in bliss and not fall into the evil path, and at the same time ask the Jizo Bodhisattva to protect and eliminate his sinful karma.

This is in line with the teachings of the "Jizo Bodhisattva Honwish Sutra", which says that by worshipping the Jizo Bodhisattva devoutly, you can relive your dead relatives and atone for your living self.

One death and one life, no matter the living or the dead, all the bad karma, the great wish and great virtue of the Jizo Bodhisattva, can be protected and uprooted. Because this is the vow of the Jizo Bodhisattva, to overcome the sins and sufferings of sentient beings in the six realms. The fetus in the womb is suffering, and the cruel abortion and killing is sin.

Wuxu looked at the woman, and suddenly burst into tears, clasped his palms and said, "The White Lotus teaches all sentient beings, and all sentient beings suffer. It is a sin for us to commit all kinds of vows, to kill living beings, to slander the Buddha. May all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have mercy on the suffering of sentient beings. We, the initiators, are willing to bear all the sins with all our might. ”

Dorjee was on the side and said urgently, "Senior brother, Buddhism is important, don't talk nonsense!"

Wu Xuan cried and laughed, "We are the woman, and the fetus in the womb is the thousands of White Lotus Sect members. If we Buddhist monks make a mistake in teaching the Dharma or act wrongly, we should bear all the sins and karma. The members of the White Lotus Sect are just innocent fetuses, even if they die, they should also be reborn in bliss, how can their divine consciousness be extinguished, so that the bodhisattva has no way to live?"

"Senior Brother Wuxu!" Dorjee, kneeling on the ground with his palms together, bowed to the Jizo Pagoda, "Bodhisattva forgive me." The Bodhisattva also wept and mourned, 'May the World-Honored One not worry about the evil karma of sentient beings in the next life.' 'Brother Wuxu, this heart is also like this, only the world-honored one, only the bodhisattva, not to worry about the evil karma of sentient beings in the next life. ”

Dorjee's voice was closed, and the Jizo Pagoda suddenly emitted ten thousand golden lights, but it turned into the image of the golden body of the Jizo Bodhisattva.

But when he saw the Bodhisattva Jizo, on the lotus seat, wearing an eight-sided Buddha crown on his head, holding a jewel in his left hand and a nine-ring tin staff in his right hand, he said, "I came from a long time ago and was led by the Buddha. Gain incredible divine power and great wisdom. My doppelganger fills the world of hundreds of trillions of Ganges sands. Every world, hundreds of trillions of bodies. Every body, hundreds of billions of people. Order to return to the Three Jewels, forever leave life and death, and achieve nirvana happiness. But in the Dharma, all the good deeds I do, every hair, every sand and every dust, or I don't have any promises, I gradually get rid of them, so that I can gain great benefits. I only hope that the World-honored One will not worry about the negative karma of sentient beings in the next life. Such is the three white Buddha words. I only hope that the World-honored One will not worry about the negative karma of sentient beings in the next life. ”

The Jizo Bodhisattva finally manifested himself and opened his mouth to say his original wish.

That's right

The six realms of bad karma and sentient beings are suffering, and the Bodhisattva of the Earth has the wish Sutra.

The white lotus is difficult to abort like a fetus, and all kinds of causes and effects are inexplicable.
