Chapter 152: Nyorai Puja
West Heaven, Pure Land of Bliss, Great Lei Yin Temple.
On the horizon, there are two colorful auspicious clouds, two colorful auspicious clouds are like two carps holding a blooming lotus, there is a lotus platform on the lotus, and there is a person sitting on the lotus platform.
I saw this person:
The throat is like a snail, the face is like a full moon, the eyes are like a green lotus, the eyebrows are thin and long, the nose is high and straight, the lips are red, the teeth are white, the arms are hanging down the knees, the golden light is shining, the mighty tiger, the instrument is like an elephant king, the top is like a meat bun, the body and cheeks are like a lion, the seven places are flat, and the eight Sanskrit sounds are full.
Who else could this person be if he wasn't the Buddha?
There are two people standing on the left and right sides of the Buddha—two of his proudest disciples: Ananda and Kasya.
And under the colorful auspicious clouds are the Buddhas of the Western Heavens.
Today, it is a 10,000-year-old Nyorai puja, and this puja will be attended by all the Buddhas of the Western Heavens.
I remember the last puja, the golden cicada despised the Dharma, was relegated to the lower realm by Rulai, reincarnated as a Tang monk, and went through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, and finally achieved positive results and became a Buddha of Zhantan merit. In the blink of an eye, 10,000 years have passed.
In this festival, Tang Seng is of course also in the Buddhas of the Western Heavens, but he is no longer a golden cicada, but a Buddha of Zhantan merit.
It is worth mentioning that Sun Wukong also came to participate in this festival, because he is no longer a Monkey King, but a fighting Buddha.
"As I heard: At one time, the Buddha was in the mountains of the Wangshe City, and the Baoyue Lecture Hall was a heavy pavilion. Ten years after becoming a Buddha, he has been with hundreds of thousands of great bhikshus, and the Bodhisattva Mahasattva's sixty Ganges sands have all achieved great diligence and have already made offerings to hundreds of billions of Buddhas. "If the sound is like a bell, the Tibetan scriptures have been spoken over and over again.
The Buddhas of the Western Heavens listened to it over and over again, some bowed their heads in contemplation, some suddenly realized, some were expressionless, and some were drowsy.
After finishing the Buddhist scriptures, Rulai took out a pineapple flower.
I only heard him say: "I think that at the beginning, when the first Nyorai Dharma was held, the disciples in the audience were drowsy and ignored the Dharma. I reached out and picked up a pineapple flower from the flower pot on the podium, swirled it around in my hand, and then smiled.
The Bodhisattva Buddhas below looked at the Buddha in unison, but no one spoke.
For a time, there was silence in the Great Lei Yin Temple.
The Buddha smiled, and then pointed to a person: "Zhantan Merit Buddha, you are smiling, you must have understood the Zen machine, can you tell me?"
Tang Seng stood up slowly, he bowed to Rulai, and said respectfully: "Buddha, although the disciple has already understood the Zen machine, if he says it, won't he destroy the Zen machine?"
Rulai smiled and did not speak.
At this time, the eyes of the Buddhas of the Western Heavens turned to Tang Seng in unison.
Tang Seng paused, and then said: "Although the Buddha smiled, he didn't laugh if he laughed, and if he didn't laugh, he laughed.
Ru looked at Tang Seng, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Bodhisattvas, the Buddha of Zhantan Merit has already penetrated the Zen machine, I wonder if you can understand it?"
At this time, Sun Wukong stood up.
As soon as they saw Sun Wukong stand up, everyone else let out a hearty laugh, there was neither ridicule nor ridicule in this laughter, there was nothing in it, just a burst of laughter.
Rulai also smiled, and he said, "Wukong, have you also understood the Zen machine?"
Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Buddha, although my grandson has not penetrated the Zen machine, my grandson has discovered another thing. ”
"Tell me about it. "Such as the word.
"Buddha, although the Buddhas of the Western Heavens are no longer born and destroyed, everyone's wisdom is different. The meaning of a smile, the Zen machine is not deep, but if it is really not thorough, and if you want to continue to understand it, wouldn't it be foolish?" Sun Wukong said.
"Hahahaha!" Rulai pointed to Sun Wukong and said, "Wukong, I didn't expect you to have made such great progress, very good, very good." ”
Although this Nyorai puja is boring, in the eyes of the Buddhas of the Western Heavens, it is the most interesting thing to understand the Zen machine and listen to the Dharma.
There is no such thing as a feast that will never be dissolved, and the same is true of the Nyorai Festival.
After the end of the festival, the Buddhas of the West Heaven left one after another, and in the Great Leiyin Temple, only Rulai and Sun Wukong were left.
"Wukong, why aren't you leaving?" asked Rulai.
"Buddha, don't hide it, the disciple has something to ask. Sun Wukong said.
Rulai waved his hand and said, "Let's hear it." ”
"Buddha, I think you also know that a few days ago, the Thousand-Faced Buddha and the Phantom Demon made trouble in the Heavenly Court, in a vain attempt to dominate the Three Realms, although the old grandson and the third prince got rid of them, but all the immortals in the Heavenly Court have been poisoned by them, even the Jade Emperor, Taishang Laojun and Lingbao Tianzun. Buddha, the heavenly court cannot be left without an owner, can you have a way to bring the immortals of the heavenly court back to life?" asked Sun Wukong.
"Wukong, this Heavenly Court's suffering is the calamity of the Three Realms, and the tragic murder of the immortals in the Heavenly Court is also their calamity. I can't do anything about it. Rulai shook his head.
"Isn't that heavenly court going to go down without a master all the time?" Sun Wukong was a little anxious, and actually jumped in front of Rulai.
"Wukong, you don't have to worry, in fact, the Jade Emperor and the immortals of the Heavenly Court are not scattered. "As it is.
"Oh, Buddha, what do you say?" asked Sun Wukong.
"Wukong, do you know how all the immortals in the Heavenly Court died?" asked Rulai.
"Of course I know, most of them were eaten by Gu. Sun Wukong said.
"That's it. Rulai nodded, and then said: "That Gu is a Gu worm in the ancient period, and its power is not trivial, even I have to be afraid of three points." All the immortals who are eaten by Gu will not immediately disperse. ”
"Buddha, what do you mean?"
"Wukong, have you heard of the Mongolian Realm?" asked Rulai.
"Of course, I have heard that the buffer zone between heaven and hell in the Mongolian realm is mostly filled with unjust souls who are both good and evil, with two personalities and two personalities. Sun Wukong said.
Speaking of this, Sun Wukong seemed to understand something, only to see him pat his thigh and say, "Buddha, you mean ............"
"Wukong, the souls of the Jade Emperor and others have not actually dissipated, nor have they gone to hell, their souls have been wandering in the Mongolian realm. "As it is.
"Buddha, that disciple will go to the Mongolian realm now. Sun Wukong said.
"Wukong, you must know that the Mongolian realm is a buffer zone between heaven and hell, not within the Three Realms, nor in the Five Elements. There are many dangers in the Mongolian realm, if you go, you must be careful. Rulai reminded.
"Thank you Buddha for your guidance, Lao Sun is gone!" With that, Sun Wukong turned into a golden light and disappeared in an instant............
