Chapter Forty-Six: A Savage in the West
Although the Buddhism gate is vast, it does not cross the people who have no fate, let alone ghosts? The king of equality is thinking too much, the king of the earth is holding the underworld after all, he is a guest, and he is naturally good with you, and if it is the supreme of the West, who can say for sure?
This spiritual mountain is an extremely special place, and it is difficult for mortals to reach it in the real world. It is not complete to say that it is in the illusory world, but in fact, half of it is still in the land of Xiniu Hezhou, but it is covered by Buddhism.
The Western Sect of Venerable Rulai is also cultivating the avenue to transcend this world, since it is the avenue, it is the same path to the same end, and Sun Dakong's path is actually the same, it is to develop the world of Lingtai.
One of the biggest differences between the two is that the methods of solving the 'soul problem' are different.
The simplest method is to directly lead the soul of the believer into his Buddha Pure Land and the Pure Land of Bliss, so that the believer can enjoy the purity of the Buddha Kingdom and not fall into reincarnation, so he will expand the Lingtai world and enhance his own strength.
If Sun Dakong doesn't engage in sectarian mountain, he will have to be a little more troublesome. He is using incense to copy and copy, incense is the sincerity of people's hearts, everyone who worships incense either has a request, or something to repay, with their soul imprint!
In his own Lingtai world, it may be difficult for Sun Dakong, the god, to create human souls out of thin air, but it is very simple to copy some human primary souls. Moreover, after the establishment of reincarnation, the mother book of life and death in the hands of King Qin Guang will be able to give birth to a child book and re-establish cause and effect, and these primary souls will become naturally plump in reincarnation.
The complex human soul problem was solved, and the soul establishment of low-level creatures was only in Sun Dakong's thoughts, after all, this was his own Lingtai Fang Cun world.
The Lingtai worlds of the two are not only very different in their cores, but also in their external performances.
Sun Dakong is from the earth and does not want to be a Buddha who breaks his love and desires, so his Lingtai world is more down-to-earth and closer to the red dust.
If you come to it, it will be more bells and whistles, and his Lingtai Fangcun World is the Pure Land of the Evolved Buddha Kingdom, the Western Elysium, the golden lotus on the ground, and the sky is falling. The cultivation time is more than that of Sun Dakong, and I don't know how many huiyuan there are, and it is already close to half-truth.
This spiritual mountain is half in the mortal world, half in the Lingtai square inch world, like building a bridge between the real and the illusory world.
The great educator, great thinker, and great sophist Shizun Rulai explained it this way: "Truth is illusion, illusion is truth, emptiness and color, color and color." ”
This is really not a street abduction and fooling people, if His Holiness said so, he also thinks so, and even more so, there is nothing wrong with it.
It's just that it takes boundless Buddha power to maintain the connection between the Lingtai Fangcun World and the Journey to the West world, and it takes a lot of effort to rely on Rulai alone, which requires the joint efforts of the majority of believers, and the incense offerings cannot be stopped.
That's why it is said that 'people fight for a breath, and Buddha fights for a stick of incense'!
This is related to the foundation of the Buddha.
Ordinary people are not Elder Tang who shoulders the task of learning scriptures, and without the light of the Buddha and the immortal light in his body, he will not be able to pass the Jialan Mountain at all, let alone have the golden top immortal to guide him.
Not to mention ghosts and yin gods, and they still want to see the beautiful scenery of the spiritual mountain where the earth is full of golden lotuses and the sky is full of flowers and rain? Before waiting for the Garan Mountain, you have to be crossed into reincarnation by the vast Buddha power, and in the future, you will be a human and an animal, and it all depends on the cause and effect of this life.
However, fortunately, the nine Yan Monarchs all have Heavenly Court positions, even if they are Yin Gods, they are also considered positive fruits, so they naturally will not be afraid of the Buddha's light and Buddha power, but they can directly pass through the Garan, and they don't have to bother the Golden Peak Immortal to take over.
The nine Yamas came to the gate of the Spirit Mountain full of hope, but they were stopped outside the gate by the Vajra Dharma Protector. How could the Vajra Protector, who was eight feet tall, have a good impression of these nine old ghosts? I didn't see the bhikshu monks and bhikshunis who entered and exited the mountain gate all showed shocked expressions.
"Stay, where did the nine palace monarchs come from?"
It's this condescending tone, asking directly what do you want to do?
The Dharma Protector is very unhappy, what kind of place is this? Lingshan Scenic Spot is not your pickled Yin Mountain! I really think that the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth will be qualified to enter and leave Lingshan if he gives you some good faces? What kind of virtue is it not to pee and take care of yourself!
King Ping laughed and said: "I am the Lord of the Yin Palace, King Ping, presiding over the Abi Hell, and I am the friend of the King of the Earth and the Bodhisattva. Now there is something to ask the World Venerable, and I also ask the Venerable God to help inform him, and he said that there is a Yin Si Jiu Yama who wants to see ......"
Dharma Protector Vajra looked down at the nine Yamas, and said through his nose: "This god is not ignorant, how can you not see that you are nine together, and you still need to remind you?"
But even if you Yin Si Ten Palaces Yan Luoqi Zhizhi, what if you say that you will report it?
How busy my Buddha is to preach the scriptures and teachings for his disciples every day, where can I have time to see a few of you Yin Gods? Don't retreat quickly, otherwise even if this King Kong recognizes you, he won't recognize this demon-subduing treasure pestle in his hand!"
"You!"
King Yama's temper was the hottest, and he was about to turn his face, but he was pulled aside by King Equality: "What do you want to do? This is the Lingshan Resort, but not our Netherworld Mansion, how can you afford to provoke the Dharma Protector Vajra?"
"As long as you have a good temper, haven't you seen that King Kong so rude, don't you allow our brothers to enter the mountain gate?"
"You don't understand this, but you're still a Yan Jun. This is called 'Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult', and it is enough to give him some benefits, as long as he sees the world-honored Buddha, then everything is easy to say. ”
King Yama was stunned: "Old eight...... Why do I think you're scolding us?"
"Gaffes, blame me for forgetting that we are Hades......"
King Ping smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then ran to the Dharma Protector King Kong and said with a smile: "Fang is my brother who doesn't know the etiquette, don't blame the gods."
I have a purple gold bowl here, which was also obtained by chance from the world, this is a treasure of Buddhism, but it should not fall into the hands of us, it is better to give it to the gods, which is called the sword to the hero. ”
"Oh, this bowl is really my Buddha's thing, but it can't be defiled by you and other yin gods. Anyway, the god reluctantly accepted it......
This god just thought that my Buddha should finish teaching the Dharma at this moment, or if he has time, you can wait and go. ”
"Thank you, thank you. ”
The nine Yamas thanked them in their mouths, and scolded bitterly in their stomachs, no matter what, they finally entered the Lingshan, if the Buddha was willing to help, maybe they would be able to find Lao Qin.
At the moment when the Nine Yamas entered the gate of Lingshan Mountain, the Great Good World-Honored One, My Buddha Rulai, and Shakyamuni Venerable, who were sitting on the Twelve Rank Lotus Platform, slowly opened their eyes and chuckled, "This time it's difficult......
Standing below the Buddha, the benevolent and compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled: "The poor monk wonders, my Dharma power is vast, omniscient, omniscient, and omnipresent, why is it difficult?"
The Buddha smiled and said, "Wonderful goodness is unknown but unknown. Although my magic power is vast, there will always be a place where I cannot reach it, and although I see it far away, there is also an immeasurable space and time, and I am omnipresent, but I do not stand on the four kinds of lands. ”
The Bodhisattva said, "But I don't know which four places?"
"This first place is a place of darkness and wickedness. This second place is the place of slander and slander.
This third place is a place in the name of a false Buddha and a place where the Buddha collects wealth, and even if there is incense, I will not stand it.
This fourth place ......"
The dignified Buddha suddenly stopped talking.
All the bodhisattvas and arhats looked at each other, all secretly frightened. What kind of magic insight did the Buddha have, and what is there in these three realms that makes the Buddha unable to speak?
The Buddha paused for a moment before saying, "This fourth place is the Buddha country of others, the world of the spiritual platform. For example, if you go to the dojo or in the palace of Namira, I can't stand up. (Zhen Yuanzi went to Miluo Palace to listen to the lecture, where Yuan Shi Tianzun was, it is recorded in Journey to the West.) )
All the bodhisattvas and arhats said that they were good, and they were speechless for a while.
"Yin Si Nine Palace, see my Buddha! Yin Si is in trouble, ask my Buddha for mercy and help. ”
In front of Rulai, Jiuyan Jun didn't dare to call himself the master of the palace, he could only say that he was the nine halls of the Yin Division. However, in this way, it seems that Yin Si has really become a person of Western teaching, which just confirms what Zhang Bairen said.
"Good and good, you can't be so ...... of the hall masters"
Seeing that the Nine Yamas wanted to worship themselves, Rulai was busy using mana to stop them, so that they could not bow down: "All the hall masters have heavenly ministers, but the poor monks are just a savage ear in the western sky, the same must respect the Xuanqiong High God, and the same is under the rule of the heavenly court, how can you accept your worship?"
Since ancient times, the people are not allowed to be worshiped by officials, this is a ceremony, and the lords of the temple should not do this again. ”
Jiu Yama couldn't hear it crying and laughing, is there a 'wild man' like you?
One of your subordinates watching the mountain gate is angry, if you don't stuff the purple gold cymbals to him, we won't be able to enter!
