Chapter 104: The Six Realms of Reincarnation of Buddhism
"Is there really a mandate of heaven in the world? If there is a mandate of heaven, doesn't it mean that people's efforts are in vain? And those who belong to the destiny of heaven can get it without work?" Fu Jian didn't believe in the so-called mandate of heaven in his heart, if there was really a mandate of heaven, then everything was arranged, what was the point of living a lifetime?
"The mandate of heaven is the will of heaven, and the will of heaven is the heart of the Buddha!" said Zhu Shixing with a solemn face.
Fu Jian was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't believe it, and then asked, "Master, who are the Buddhas? Are those Buddhas we worship?" or is it a state that has never been reached?"
In all fairness, Fu Jian does not believe in the true will of heaven, although he is a disciple of Zhu Shixing, he is a very talented person, and he has his own opinions on everything, even what he believes in.
Fu Jian often heard Zhu Shixing talk about Buddha, and he has seen many images of Buddhas in monasteries, and even countless Buddhas in the scriptures, but Fu Jian thinks that what he sees and knows should not be real Buddhas.
What exactly is that Buddha?
"What is a Buddha?" hehe......" Zhu Shixing suddenly smiled inexplicably.
He naturally understood the doubts of his disciple Fu Jian, and even the Buddhists who really entered the Buddhism and had their own opinions would have such doubts.
This is also why, the Buddha in the hearts of all accomplished Buddhist disciples is not the Buddha inherent in those temple scriptures, but the Buddha that belongs only to them.
"Do you know why the Buddha came from, where did the Buddha come from?" Zhu Shixing put his chin on the back of his hand, still holding the hoe handle in both hands, and he was a farmer who took a short break from his work.
"Isn't the Buddha cultivated by people?" Fu Jian has become accustomed to this kind of discussion with his master, without deliberately burning incense and praying, sitting upright, and being able to discuss the Tao of the Buddha everywhere in his life.
Zhu Shixing smiled a little wrinkled, squeezed out more wrinkles, and then said slowly: "What about people? The Buddha's term originated from a being called 'Mida', let's call it existence. ”
Fu Jian listened carefully, and Zhu Shixing also continued to speak: "Mida is also known as the Immeasurable Buddha and is respected as a guide. The immeasurable is the end, the perfection, the immeasurable, the sect of all Buddhas. Amitabha!"
"Amitabha Buddha ......" Fu Jian subconsciously proclaimed the Buddha's name, which was also the first time he knew that the Buddha's name that had been preached by countless people was actually like this.
In this way, it was Mida who founded the Buddha's Sect. And all the existence of cultivating Buddhas is actually only practicing some of the teachings of Mida, and the countless Buddhas have not jumped out of Mida after all, and Mida's thoughts and will are the will of heaven?" Fu Jian kept thinking, and finally he found that if according to what Zhu Shixing said, everything is attributed to this existence called Mida.
"Don't say!" Zhu Shixing slowly raised his head and shook it gently.
"Disciple understands!" Zhu Shixing said that he couldn't say, but Fu Jian looked like he was enlightened, and he explained to Zhu Shixing instead.
"Do you really understand?" the smile on Zhu Shixing's face faded and became a little solemn.
Fu Jian put down the bamboo basket in his hand, bowed to Zhu Shixing, and then said: "This can only be self-realization, if you listen to others, it will be like the Buddhas in the Mida, what is proved is not the real Buddha, not your own understanding, and not the real understanding." ”
Fu Jian's words were a little awkward, and even sounded plausible, but after Zhu Shixing heard it, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Today's teacher will send you out, there are two sons of destiny in the world, one is used to rule the world, one is used to rule the world, the son of the world has arrived at the White Horse Temple, you can also meet him by the way!" Zhu Shixing put down the hoe, straightened the monk's robe on his body and said.
"Why do you want to disturb the world first, and then rule the world? Who are these two people?" Fu Jian only felt that Zhu Shixing's words today were too informative, so much that he had one doubt after another.
Hundreds of years ago, Buddhism set up six reincarnations, as long as the killing continues, the Buddhist faith will become more and more pure. ”
Fu Jian's expression changed slightly, and the words of six reincarnations made Fu Jian think a lot.
"Is there really a six-way reincarnation?" Fu Jian, as a disciple of Zhu Shixing, naturally knew the saying of the six reincarnations in Buddhism, but originally he always thought that these were just the imagination of Buddhism.
"As a teacher, this will make you understand what the six realms are. Zhu Shixing suddenly spoke, then stretched out his hand and pointed in front of him, and then a water mirror appeared in front of Fu Jian.
Ripples rippled on the water mirror, and then a pitch-black passage appeared, and the picture was constantly changing, as if Fu Jian's vision was moving.
Soon a new picture appeared on the water mirror, and countless souls appeared in Fu Jian's eyes, and these souls lined up in an orderly manner, and soon came to a wide river, and there was a stone bridge on the river, where every ghost would be inspected by the people under the bridge, and then walk up the stone bridge in an orderly manner to cross the river.
As the picture continued to move forward, Fu Jian saw a stone tablet in front of the river, on which was written the word 'Lechuan'.
And on the stone arch of the stone bridge, there are also a few words engraved, called 'Naihe'.
"Lethe River, Nai He Bridge ......" Fu Jian muttered to himself, as a disciple of Buddhism, these two names are not unfamiliar, they are a very famous place in the Buddhist Sect, and it is also the gateway to the hell of Buddhism.
The picture is like Fu Jian's vision, still moving forward, and soon crossed the Nai He Bridge and continued to change forward.
Soon Fu Jian saw that the countless ghosts finally came to a wide high platform along the road.
The platform is divided into six sides, and six stairs extend from the ground to the top of the platform, and on the platform is another stone platform with several feet. The stone platform is simple and heavy, but the text on it is not Buddhist Sanskrit, but more like a mysterious Taoist rune.
Fu Jian looked up along the stone platform, and there were six pitch-black whirlpools on the stone platform, one by one ghosts standing in six different positions on the stone platform, and then one by one they were sucked in by the whirlpool.
"This is the six realms of reincarnation?" Fu Jian had already guessed in his heart that this high platform and the six whirlpool passages above were the six realms of reincarnation mentioned by Buddhism.
He looked curiously at the six different directions, and under the high platform, there were a large number of Buddhist disciples, who were judging the ghosts to different positions in the six directions.
There are those departed souls of believers who practiced Buddhism in front of them, and they were designated as being able to enter the path of reincarnation of heaven and man, so they were taken to the corresponding position of the heavenly beings to wait for reincarnation.
The so-called heavenly humanity can enjoy a lifetime of wealth after reincarnation. There are very few such ghosts, and among this huge number of ghosts, there are less than one in ten.
There are ghosts who are designated as humane, and these ghosts can enter the cycle of reincarnation and continue to be human in the next life, but these people are just ordinary people who will suffer from the world's suffering.
These ghosts are people who have not believed in Buddhism before, but have never been evil to Buddhism.
Their fate in the next life has been set here, no matter how hard these people try, they can't live an ideal life, and they can only sigh the destiny of heaven after all.
However, these people are the existence of Buddhism that can potentially be transformed into believers, so they still have the opportunity to be reincarnated as human beings. Such ghosts account for half of all the ghosts.
A category under humanity is called animal morality. Animal Dao, as the name suggests, is reincarnated as a beast, slaughtered by others, and died of humiliation.
This kind of person who is reincarnated as an animal is not a Buddha or a Taoist, but his words and deeds have been biased towards Taoism, and it is slightly difficult for such a person to completely convert into a Buddhist believer.
Therefore, Buddhism set up the animal path, to torture these souls, after a lifetime of reincarnation, let these souls submit, and finally become Buddhist believers.
Of course, the reason for these souls who have been beaten into the animal path is naturally not because they do not believe in Buddhism, but because they are accused of abstaining from adultery.
There are also the asura paths, which are people who do not believe in Taoism, but are prejudiced against Buddhism.
Their souls are thrown into the asura realm, and from the beginning of the asura path, these souls cannot be reincarnated, and the asura is a killing weapon in Buddhism, these souls only have instinctive killing, and when they are released one day, they are the knife in the hands of Buddhism!
There are two more after that, which are the Hungry Ghost Road and the Hell Path.
These are two coexisting spaces, in the Hungry Ghost Dao, the ghosts who believe in the Tao Gate and do not respect the Buddha Gate are imprisoned, through the Hungry Ghost Dao, they are turned into hungry ghosts without tongues, because without a tongue, they will die in the torment of hunger and thirst, and even the soul will not be at peace after death, and finally completely dissipate.
The ghosts of hell will not dissipate, but they will be subjected to endless torture, and they will be tortured every day by thousands of arrows piercing their hearts, swords and fires, boiling in oil, skinning and intestines.
"What do you think of these six reincarnations?" Suddenly, Zhu Shixing's voice sounded in Fu Jian's ears, pulling Fu Jian back from the six reincarnations, and the water mirror in front of him was also shattered.
Fu Jian still had palpitations at the moment, especially the scene of the evil ghost path and hell, which made Fu Jian feel some strange feelings in his heart.
"If the six realms of reincarnation operate for a long time, it only takes a few lifetimes of reincarnation in the world, and in two or three hundred years, all the people in the world can be transformed into devout Buddhist believers, and the Buddha kingdom on earth will naturally take shape. Although Fu Jian felt a little strange in his heart, he still quickly answered Zhu Shixing.
The effect of these six realms of reincarnation is obvious, as long as the soul is reborn through the six realms, it will either become an asura, or be beaten into the path of hungry ghosts, or sink into hell, and in the end, only the most devout Buddhists will be left in the world.
A real trick to draw the bottom of the kettle!
"The disciple can see clearly, so now you know the role of human killing, right? The person in the troubled world has already begun to act, and this person is Ran Min. And the man who rules the world is in the temple at the moment, his name is Wang Meng, and he will assist you. The smile on Zhu Shixing's face became more and more obvious, and he finally said the names of the two people of destiny, and Wang Meng's coming to the White Horse Temple had long been expected by Zhu Shixing.
When Fu Jian was still talking, Zhu Shixing waved his hand at him, and Fu Jian looked in front of him again, he was no longer in the legal domain, but appeared under the scripture tower of the White Horse Temple.
And Fu Jian saw that the two people in front of the building were talking at the moment, and the two of them didn't notice his sudden appearance.
"The donor wants to refer to the scriptures in the building?" asked a novice in front of the prayer building to a young and elegant man in white.
"Exactly. The man in white replied with a chuckle.
"Then please ask the name of the donor, because there are a large number of unique scriptures in the building, the little monk needs to register. Xiao Shami bowed slightly to the man in white, and said very politely and politely.
The man in white didn't care, and replied very cooperatively: "My name is Wang Meng, and the word is omitted." ”
Wang Meng likes his word very much, no matter whether others ask or not, as long as he says his name, he will proudly say the word 'Jingluo'.
