Chapter 518, the beginning of the Journey to the West, the cause and effect are over!
PS: 2-in-1!
As the years passed, with the pace of time, the heavenly machine became more and more chaotic, and the breath of the calamity became heavier and heavier.
Many forces active in the desolate land have reined in, being cautious and not daring to take the lead, lest they be contaminated with cause and effect in vain.
Flood West, Lingshan Dojo, Da Lei Yin Temple.
“......”
"See that the aggregates are empty, and overcome all suffering. ”
"With nothing, Bodhisattva, according to Prajnaparamita, has no obstacles, no obstacles, no fears, is far away from upside-down dreams, and is nirvana. ”
“......”
A magnificent temple stands, a huge Bodhi verdant, and the sound of Buddha spreads out, spreading throughout the western realm, giving people an aura of light, compassion and supreme goodness.
This is the Buddha preaching the scriptures, the scene of heaven and earth is thousands, the Buddha of the four directions falls, the divine spring emerges, the golden lotus blooms, such as a pure holy place, eliminate all suffering.
"Buzz!"
The void trembled, the Great Thunder Temple shook slightly, the Buddha suddenly stopped, the diffuse rhyme suddenly dispersed, and the mighty Buddha sound suddenly stagnated.
All the Buddhas, the Bodhisattvas of the Four Directions, the Eight Hundred Arhats, the Three Thousand Bhikshunis, and the Thousands of Buddhas suddenly woke up from the Tao Yun and looked at the Buddha one after another, with puzzled expressions on their faces, and for some reason they suddenly stopped preaching.
If the Buddha opened his eyes, a ray of golden light flashed, slowly looked at everyone, and said: "Oriental beings, how greedy and murderous, how difficult and calamitable, do not know the true Buddha, do not admire the best, and create endless bad karma. ”
"Today I have the Sutra of the Three Tibets, talking about the heavens, talking about the earth, and saving ghosts, a total of 35 books, 15,144 volumes, which are the path of cultivating the truth, the door of righteousness and goodness, which can transcend suffering and explain calamities. ”
"However, the law cannot be whispered, the Tao cannot be passed on lightly, Venerable Guanyin ......"
"The disciple is here, what does my Buddha have to teach?" Guanyin Bodhisattva stepped out of the ranks, stepped on the lotus, and responded in a loud voice.
The Buddha smiled faintly, stared at Venerable Guanyin, and said solemnly, "Venerable Guanyin has great powers, and this time you need to go to the east of the wilderness to find a Buddha to return." Teach him to go through thousands of mountains, inquire about thousands of rivers, go all the way to the west, and get through the eighty-one difficulties, so that he can return to the truth for a long time, come to us to seek the true scriptures, spread the East, and educate sentient beings. ”
"Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate!" Guanyin Bodhisattva folded his hands, his hair was like a dark cloud plate, his clothes were like phoenixes, the Buddha's light was shrouded, and the rui qi was steaming, revealing all kinds of compassion, "The disciple respectfully obeys the will of my Buddhism." ”
"Good!" If the Buddha bowed slightly, beckoned Ananda and Ka Ye, took out two treasures, handed them to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and instructed, "This brocade robe and nine-ring tin staff can be given to those who take scriptures; if they are determined to come here, wear my robe to avoid reincarnation, and hold my tin rod and not be poisoned!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva promised to receive two treasures.
Immediately afterwards, the Buddha took out three hoops, handed them to Guanyin Bodhisattva again, and said with a smile, "This treasure is called 'tight hoop', which seems to be the same, but in fact it is used differently." ”
"I have to teach the three mantras of 'gold, tightness, and forbiddenness' by the saints, and I will teach them to you together and to those who take the scriptures; if there is anyone who is disobedient, you can put this hoop on his head, and the flesh will naturally take root. ”
"If you recite a thought according to the mantra, your eyes will be swollen and your head will be cracked, and you will not be able to survive or die, and you will finally enter my door. ”
"The poor monk understands!"
Guanyin Bodhisattva took the hoop, confessed to the Buddha, and then drifted away to the east of the wilderness.
"Amitabha!" The Buddha narrowed his eyes, watched Guanyin leave, and whispered, "I hope everything goes well in this journey to the west......
"Amitabha!" The Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Vajra, and Buddhists shouted in deep voices, with a faint Zen sense lingering and lingering.
The Ming Imperial City, the Jixia School Palace, the sons are hidden, hundreds of schools of thought gather, and the trend of prosperity is in full swing.
Under the imperial power, a hundred schools of thought are respected!
"Qiqi sacrificial wine, Buddha Xuanzang Buddha asks to see him outside the palace!"
Hundreds of years have passed, after the first generation of sons created a hundred schools, they have successively cultivated in seclusion, and the non-human race has survived and died, and it will not be born!
Now, after many battles, it once again fell into the hands of Confucian children.
Today's Jixia School Palace sacrificial wine is the disciple of Confucius, Xun Qing, one of the seventy-two sages of Confucianism, Xunzi!
"Ladies and gentlemen, Xuanzang, the son of the Buddha, is now the third time to come to visit, if he is not allowed to enter the door, I am afraid that the world will look down on us and other hundred schools. ”
Xunzi sat on the high platform, plump and handsome, his eyes were gentle, his demeanor was graceful, he opened his mouth unhurriedly, calmly and unhurriedly, warm as jade, giving people the feeling of a righteous man and a gentleman.
"Xun sacrificial wine is very true. A middle-aged scribe with a resolute face and sonorous words spoke, "It's just that I heard that in the hands of Xuanzang, there is the will of His Majesty the Emperor, who came to the Jixia School Palace to hold a 'waterway conference' and preach Buddhism Dafa." If he is allowed to enter the school palace and see His Majesty's will, I am afraid that there will be no more words to excuse him. ”
"The head of the Li Kui family is too worried, let his Dharma be boundless, is it possible that the theory of a hundred schools of thought is weak?" a family head who looked quite chic spoke, "What's more, there are too many children of a hundred families, just take this festival to try the Dao heart of the children of a hundred families!"
This is the current head of the famous family, Hui Shi Keiko, who is quick-witted, erudite, and good at logic and reasoning.
Li Kui frowned, he wanted to say something, but he seemed to have some concerns, but he never said it after all; he was the head of the Hundred Laws Family, and he was in a high position in the Xue Palace, only under the sacrificial wine Xunzi.
Zhuangzi, the head of the Taoist family, closed his eyes and recuperated his mind, and for a while he transformed into a butterfly, and for a while he showed his true body, like a dream;
The rest of the families, the Yin and Yang family, the vertical and horizontal family, the medical family, the family, the farmer's family, and the miscellaneous family did not arrive, and only Wu Qi and Wu Zi, the head of the Bing family, did not speak.
Wu Qi is also a middle-aged man, his face is indifferent, his face is expressionless, between his eyebrows, there are wisps of evil qi flowing, almost condensing into substance;
"I don't know what the head of the soldier family thinks?" Xun Zi smiled faintly and turned to look at Wu Qi.
"If you are not strong-willed, how can you be a disciple of a soldier?!" Wu Qi did not open his eyes, but just spoke coldly, and a wisp of murderous aura surged out, like a blade scraping bones.
"Good! Since this is the case, then invite the Buddha of Buddhism, Master Xuanzang to come in, open the waterway puja, and preach the Dharma of Buddhism. Xunzi stood up, one hand in front and one hand behind, polite, "I want to see, the disciples of the hundred families, is it worthy of the name?!"
Time passed, and soon it was afternoon.
The sun hangs high, and the golden light shines on the world, like a thin golden veil, reflecting the sky.
Kinoshita School Palace, central square.
Hundreds of bald monks sat together, and the space was built on a huge high platform, on which futons and sandalwood were set up, faintly exuding a strange fragrance.
"Buddhism and Taoism, I have a righteous spirit in my heart, what is the use of just Buddhism?!"
"The children of my Dharma, do not follow the past, do not follow the law, only recognize the king!
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the Dao Law is free, why force it?"
"On the battlefield, there is no advance or retreat! How can you win by just talking about it?!"
"Disciples of Buddhism, lotus flowers, disciples of Yin and Yang, black and white, the two sides just take this opportunity to compete!"
"Is Buddhism the Dharma? It is rumored that this is the creation of the Tao of the two holy places in the West, and it should be extraordinary......
“......”
Around the central square, hundreds of students came one after another, including the white-clothed Confucian disciples, the black-clothed Mo family disciples, the black and white Yin-Yang family disciples, and the blood-red soldier disciples...... In addition, the common people, the monks, and the children of the four sects were all listed.
"Look, is that the Buddha of Buddhism, Master Xuanzang?"
"It is really a high monk, at a young age, you can understand the power of the Buddha......"
“......”
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and many people started to talk about it.
Everyone turned to look, and a monk in his twenties, who looked white and pure, walked over step by step, and there was a faint golden lotus flickering under his feet.
"Hmm!" Xuanzang saw the crowd of people below, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, and said loudly: "By the grace of Your Majesty, the poor monk held a 'water and land puja' in the Jixia School Palace to promote Buddhism and Taoism. If you donors can come, you are destined!"
"Buddhism emphasizes karma, the cause of today, the fruit of other days, and all donors have the heart of the Buddha, and he will have retribution in the future......
Xuanzang opened his mouth gently, his words were warm, and his bearing was compatible, like moisturizing things silently, unconsciously spreading the truth of Buddhism.
At the same time, the Daming Palace, Chaotian Palace.
Li Lin sat silently, looking at the Jixia School Palace from afar, the essence shimmered, and in the light of his eyes, a white-clothed monk flashed out.
"At the beginning of the journey to the west, Buddhism spread to the east...... That's the first difficulty. Li Lin muttered to himself, "I'll give you a chance, so let's see if you can grasp it?"
Xuanzang's physical body is mortal, and when he preaches, there will naturally be no terrifying visions in the world, but he has a heavy responsibility, as a Buddhist Buddha, and the reincarnation of the golden cicada, the understanding of Buddhism, straight into the bone marrow, faintly, there are a few golden lotus blooming in the void, if there is no Sanskrit sound, permeate the void, as if fairy music is playing.
On Xuanzang's body, the golden light is awe-inspiring, and the Buddha rhyme trembles slightly, illuminating the void and dyeing the universe.
Rays of golden light spread out, sinking into the void and into the bodies of one creature after another, like a seed, waiting for the day when it would sprout.
The sun was slanting to the west, and the red clouds were rendered, reflecting half of the sky, and the time of the afternoon passed quickly.
"Amitabha!" Xuanzang clasped his hands together, like a Buddha, the treasure was solemn and sacred.
"Master Xuanzang, you said that you can become a Buddha by putting down the butcher knife, right?" At this moment, a voice came from the vast crowd.
The sound flickered left and right, up and down, virtual and real, hidden and hidden, so that people could not find it.
Master Xuanzang was very calm, his eyebrows were lightly raised, and he said with a full temperament, "Yes!"
"In that case, I ask you, there is a person who killed a thousand people for no reason, and the crime is so heinous that it is difficult to write about it, but on a certain day, he put down his butcher's knife and converted to Buddhism, does this mean that this person will be blessed by Buddhism? If so, what should they do with the thousand people who were killed by him? What are their crimes?!"
The hundreds of monks surrounding Xuanzang changed their faces and their eyes were sharp, eager to find out the owner of the voice.
"Yes, that man killed a thousand innocent people, but he became a Buddha, and those who died thousands of people could only die unjustly......
"Buddhism does not distinguish between right and wrong, and even the evil can be accommodated. ”
"Hey, Buddhism is just so ......"
One by one, the monks and civilians shook their heads, and even some of the students couldn't help but show their sadistic intentions, and looked at Master Xuanzang gloatingly.
"Amitabha!" Master Xuanzang lowered his head, unmoving like a mountain, like an abyss like the sea, and replied indifferently, "Dare to ask the donor, among these thousand people, are there any meat eaters?"
"Of course!"
"Amitabha, dare to ask the donor, can you guarantee that none of these thousand people are guilty?"
"Of course......" The voice changed, and although he wanted to answer that he could, he couldn't open his mouth.
"No matter who you are, every grass, tree, flower, bird, is a living being. If you eat meat, if you kill a living being, then you are guilty! It's just how much you sin. ”
Master Xuanzang, unhurried, refuted one by one, "Besides, the so-called butcher's knife does not really refer to a knife that kills people, but the 'greed, hatred, and stupidity' in everyone's heart." The so-called Buddhahood is not really becoming a Buddha, but having one's own enlightenment. ”
"If you can let go of greed, hatred, and foolishness, then what else can you not let go? ”
"Amitabha, dare to ask the donor, can the poor monk answer like this?" Xuanzang smiled, like a spring breeze.
"This ......"
"Good! Well said!" At this moment, an old voice came, and a monk with an ugly face but a strong spirit floated from afar.
"Master Xuanzang is worthy of being a contemporary Buddhist Buddha, and for Buddhism, he really goes deep into the three flavors!" the ugly monk said, "However, Master Xuanzang has a word that is wrong, the so-called Buddhahood is really Buddhahood!"
"Oh, dare to ask this master, what do you mean by this?" Master Xuanzang frowned and asked.
"What Master Xuanzang is talking about is Hinayana Buddhism, I don't know if he can talk about Mahayana Buddhism?" the ugly monk did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
"This ......" Xuanzang thought for a long time, couldn't help but shake his head, and had to ask: "Please teach the master, what is Mahayana Buddhism?!"
"The so-called Mahayana Buddhism, and even the Three Tibets, talk about the heavens, the earth, and the ghosts, the mysteries are endless, you can spend the sea of suffering in life, you can save the dead from being reborn, you can let the Buddhists practice for life, if you have enlightenment, you can achieve the right results and be promoted, and you can be the real Buddha!" said the ugly monk solemnly.
"Is this the case?" Master Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Dare to ask the master, can you know Mahayana Buddhism?"
"Mahayana Buddhism, in the Western Lingshan, Da Lei Yin Temple, but the Tao can not be passed on lightly, someone needs to trek through mountains and rivers, go to the western land, go through disasters, and cannot seek the true scriptures without great perseverance!"
"Disciple is willing to go!" Xuanzang was stunned for a moment and said without hesitation.
"Okay!" the ugly monk praised, the light in his hand flashed, two treasures appeared, and handed them to Xuanzang, "This is a brocade robe, a nine-ring tin staff, and I will give it to you, I hope you will get the true scriptures as soon as possible!"
"This ...... It's too precious, the poor monk ......" Xuanzang hurriedly took it, and was about to excuse himself, when he suddenly looked up and saw that the ugly monk was still gone.
"The Emperor's decree has arrived!" At this moment, in the Daming Palace, the yellow door was opened, and a great eunuch stepped on the void.
"His Majesty the Emperor's decree: Buddha Xuanzang, not afraid of hardships and dangers, has great ambitions, and I am very comforted. Bestow it as a sandalwood merit candidate, and enjoy the eight grades of luck in the Ming Dynasty!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xuanzang thanked excitedly.
The Emperor of the People's Law decreed, and in the dark, a force of luck blessed his body, Xuanzang suddenly felt that his head was much clearer, and his understanding of Buddhism had reached a higher level.
"In the original book, this Xuanzang is the royal brother of the Tang Emperor, but now, no! I am the emperor, just a golden cicada, how dare I be my royal brother?!"
In the palace, Li Lin pondered, his eyes were profound, "Now, I have given Xuanzang as a wait, and the agreement with the Western Buddhism has been reached, and the cause and effect are over!"
