Chapter 84: The Past and Present of Buddhism
"Wuchao old Zen master, no old Zen master has ever looked for me, I have lived happily in the Yunzhan Cave of Fuling Mountain for five hundred years, and I have never heard of this monk you said. ”
The original canopy, now Zhu Bajie, carried a rake and walked side by side with Sun Wukong, shaking his head, Tang Seng rode a dragon horse, following behind the two.
After walking for more than a month, Taiping for more than a month, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie's injuries have been healed, no big deal, Zhu Bajie has gradually integrated into his current role and has become Sun Wukong's follower.
Hmm? Wuchao Zen Master didn't go to Zhu Bajie, this shouldn't be.
If my calculation is correct, this Wuchao Zen master, nine times out of ten is the doppelganger of the ancient Buddha on the lamp, and now I and Zhu Bajie are labeled with the Taoist ancestors, mixed into the scripture learning team, and will definitely enter the Buddha in the future, if you want to reset the lamp and be the Buddha again, you should take the initiative to come over and win me and Zhu Bajie.
No matter what, take one step at a time, and when you reach the so-called Futu Mountain, you should be able to see it.
Sun Wukong has now begun to study Buddhism, and after analysis, he has seen some clues.
After the War of the Gods, Daozu Taishang Laojun sent a letter to Guguan to turn Hu into a Buddha, and single-handedly established Buddhism, replacing the original Western religion.
This is very interesting, the original two saints of the West, as if they disappeared from the world, turned a blind eye to the subversion of the Western religion they created.
Later, as the eldest disciple of the original Tianzun and the deputy head of the teaching, the deputy head of the teaching, he actually rebelled and joined Buddhism and became the first Buddha, known as the ancient Buddha of the burning lamp.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Puxian Bodhisattva, and Fear of Liusun Buddha, all of whom were born in the teachings of the past, also apostatized, joined Buddhism, and united around the ancient Buddha on the lamp, supporting Buddhism at that time.
It's a pity that later the Buddha suddenly rose strongly, forced the ancient Buddha to go down, and then vigorously cultivated his cronies, such as one of the four great bodhisattvas, the Jizo Bodhisattva, the eighteen arhats, the ten venerables and so on.
Due to the strength of the Buddha, the ancient Buddha retreated and abdicated, and the three bodhisattvas also took refuge in the Buddha, so there is the pattern of Buddhism today.
It is said that in recent years, Maitreya Buddha has sprung up, rising rapidly in Buddhism, and there are some supporters around him, and there is a saying that the ancient Buddha is the Buddha of the past, the Buddha is the present Buddha, and the Maitreya Buddha is the future Buddha, which is a metaphor for the Maitreya Buddha will become the head of Buddhism in the future, replacing the Buddha.
The relationship within Buddhism is also all kinds of intrigues.
The Buddha suppressed the previous lamp-burning forces in order to prevent them from resurrecting, but for the sharpness of the Maitreya Buddha's lineage, he has always ignored it and let it go, and Sun Wukong can't guess the Buddha's thoughts.
In the eyes of others, he has the label of Lao Jun on his head, but in the eyes of the Buddha, he is mixed with the one holding Qingping, so he will be allowed to join this team.
So the question is, how do you stand in line?
Will he stand on the side of Lao Jun and Randen in the future and help them scare Rulai, or will he stand on the side of the Buddha and scold them in turn.
I have the benefit of two saints, once I stand in line, it means that I have to break with one of the saints, the saint is angry, and the corpse is thousands of miles away, so be cautious, be cautious.
Thinking about it, Sun Wukong thinks that it is better not to stand in line easily, the wings are not hard yet, and they can't fly around.
You can't blame the great sage for thinking too much, now that he is in the game, who can say for sure, he will have the last laugh, it is better to play steadily, and his current development is quite smooth.
On this day, the procession crossed the border of the Tibetan kingdom of Usi and came to the front of the Himalayas, which the Buddha called the top of the world of sampa, a holy place surrounded by snow that no mortal could cross.
With the skills of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, there is no problem if you want to cross the roof of the world, but Tang Seng wants to cross this mountain with the body of a mortal, basically there is no need to think about it.
So everyone had to take a recourse, bypassing the snow-capped top of the world and crossing through the southern side of the mountain.
The scenery of the land in the south of the mountain is absolutely beautiful, the sunshine is sufficient, the green pines and cypresses, the willows are green and peachy, there are more cranes flying, the green luans are singing together, it is really a fairyland on earth.
"Wukong, you see, there is a tall cypress tree in the distance, it is actually shining with Buddha light, there must be a Buddha treasure in the tree, let's go over and take a look. ”
With the guidance of Tang Seng, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie also saw the cypress tree glowing with Buddha light in the distance, Sun Wukong said to Zhu Bajie Nunu, Zhu Bajie could only carry the rake, reluctantly unfolded his body, and came to the tree to explore.
Zhu Bajie checked it and said that there was no danger, and Tang Seng and Sun Wukong came to this tree.
It turns out that this cypress tree, there is a tree hole the size of a person, and I don't know who wrote a scripture in the tree hole, and the Buddha's light is sent out from this scripture, but at the beginning, it was written that this sutra is called "Mahaprajnaparamita Heart Sutra".
Tang Seng hurriedly jumped off the horse, sat cross-legged, folded his hands, and sincerely recited this scripture.
"When contemplating the bodhisattva of self-reliance, when he walks in the deep prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering. The color of the relics is not different from the emptiness, and the emptiness is not different from the color. Color is emptiness, emptiness is color......"
Tang Seng himself did not realize that when he sincerely recited this scripture, his own Buddha light flashed, sitting cross-legged on the ground, solemn and solemn, the blinded wisdom heart, wisdom soared, once wanted to break through the confinement, back to the golden cicada.
As soon as Tang Seng's vision came out, Sun Wukong opened the eyes of heaven and earth, stared at Tang Seng tightly, and the changes in Tang Seng's body were also seen by the Great Sage, and after a little thought, he roughly guessed the origin of the matter.
Looking at the changes in Tang Seng's body, you can know that he must have studied this sutra before, and had profound attainments, and then his wisdom was covered with dust, reincarnated, and now he sees this sutra again, and once again hooks the dusty wisdom heart.
It's a pity that the seal in the body is too strong, and the golden light flashed, and Tang Seng's wisdom was tightly covered, and the Buddha light in Tang Seng's whole body also disappeared.
"Revealing the truth, revealing the truth, revealing the truth, revealing the truth of the Polo monk, revealing the truth of the Bodhisattva. ”
After reading this scripture, Tang Seng returned to his ordinary, as if he remembered something in his heart, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't think of anything.
It seems that this guy was not idle back then, he must have done something to the golden cicada in private, so that the golden cicada questioned the Buddha's Buddhism, so this golden cicada was later reincarnated, and there is a matter of learning scriptures today.
"I know that this "Sutra of Many Hearts" was created by the Taoist Ancestor when he turned Hu into a Buddha, and was used to educate the monks, and once became the general outline of Buddhist cultivation. ”
As a person who has followed Taishang Laojun's side for thousands of years, Zhu Bajie recognized this scripture, and as soon as this remark came out, it just confirmed Sun Wukong's guess.
Alas, they're all insiders.
In Sun Wukong's mind, he remembered a limerick poem: Looking at Kyushu at a hundred feet, the land of the predecessors and the descendants will reap it. Later generations will rejoice in the harvest, and there will be more people behind.
