Venerable Ah Ao smiled but did not speak. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhu Tianpeng also asked casually, and when he was mentioned in person, he had to say something, otherwise it would be easy to cause estrangement.

The Buddha said, "I will first retire to the Buddha, and then we will talk in detail when we get to my residence. ”

After retiring from the Buddha, under the guidance of the Buddha of Merit, everyone bypassed more than a dozen stupas and attics, and passed through a pine and cypress forest to a Zen temple.

On the door plaque of the Zen Temple, the words "Merit Zen Temple" are written.

Venerable Ah Tan smiled at the Buddha of Merit and said, "Second Senior Brother, how is this name?"

The Buddha shook his head and said, "You haven't changed, you still act in this style!"

Obviously, the Monastery was the original residence of the Buddha of Merit, and Venerable Ah Ao helped him rearrange it.

The Buddha of Merit beckoned everyone to enter the monastery together.

In the Zen courtyard, the space is vast, and the trees are forested, which is very cool.

A beautiful bhikshuni floated down the stone steps in front of the hall, walked over and saluted, "I have seen all the Venerables in a wonderful way!"

The Buddha of Merit smiled and did not speak.

Venerable Ah Tai instructed: "Shanmiao, you and all the junior sisters have worked hard, lead us to the scripture hall!"

After answering the voice, Shanmiani turned around and led the way, and came to a spacious Ming Hall.

After the Buddha invited everyone to sit down, he said to Venerable Atao, "Senior brother, I have been away from this place for many years, and now I don't even have an entourage, and I still have to ask your followers to clean the courtyard, thank you for my brother!"

Venerable Ao: "Don't be busy, when you are free, you will tell me all about the reincarnation of the tenth life, as a reward!"

Everyone sat down, and five young nuns came out of the side door, holding various spiritual fruits and vegetarian wine, and stepped forward to arrange the table.

There were seven or eight kinds of fresh fruits, five or six kinds of vegetarian dishes, and a jade bottle, most of which was wine.

After the five young nuns left, Shanmiao Nilian moved lightly, approached each case and poured wine for everyone, then poured herself a glass of vegetarian wine, raised her glass and said, "Shanmiao doesn't know your Venerable preferences, if it doesn't suit your taste, please forgive me!"

Zhantan Meritorious Buddha raised his glass and stood up, Sun, Zhu, and Sha had just arrived, so they could only follow along.

"I heard that Shanmiaoni has a pair of wonderful hands, and the purchase of vegetarian food can be called a must-have in the spiritual mountain, and I am waiting for a blessing! Everyone, let's respect Shanmioni together. ”

So, under the leadership of the Meritorious Buddha, Sun, Zhu, Sha and Venerable Ah Wei drank the vegetarian wine in the cup together.

As soon as the wine was in his mouth, Lao Zhu felt a mellow aura flowing down his throat, and his whole body and mind became lighter.

After making a toast, Shan Miaoni smiled at Venerable Ah Ya and turned to leave.

"Senior Brother Ao, your follower lives up to his name, it is really good and wonderful. ”

Venerable Ah Mi shook his head: "Shanmiao suffered from cold and yin when she was young, and when I traveled down the mountain, I happened to meet her and saved her life. Therefore, she believed in my Buddha, worshiped the spiritual mountain, and insisted on being my follower. Not to mention her, how does this wine taste?"

The Buddha poured another cup and, after savoring it, asked, "Are you using the water from the merit pool?"

Ah Wei smiled and said: "The second senior brother's tongue has always been spiritual, so he knows that he can't hide it from you!"

Sun Wukong saw that there was wine and fresh fruit in front of him, and he had already used both hands and enjoyed it.

The sand monk is relatively calm and sits upright.

Lao Zhu had many doubts in his heart, and took the opportunity to speak: "Master, Venerable Ao, the seals we have received are different, what does this Pure World Messenger Bodhisattva do?"

The Buddha of Merit and Venerable Ah Tai glanced at each other.

Venerable Ah Tai said: "Second Senior Brother, I originally had the Buddha's decree, let me explain one or two to these people!"

He turned to Sun, Zhu, and Sha: "The Venerable Beings of my Buddhism are Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas, which correspond to the three realms of cultivation, namely, self-realization, self-awareness, and enlightenment. ”

What kind of self-consciousness and self-consciousness did he have? Lao Zhu was confused when he heard this.

Seeing the doubts of the three disciples, the Buddha explained, "Self-realization is the perfection of one's own nature and self-detachment. Enlightenment means that after realization, it can also enlighten others and benefit sentient beings. Enlightenment and consummation means that all sentient beings have attained great achievements and their merits have been consummated. This is the state of practice of the Dharma, and you don't know much about the Dharma, so you don't have to worry about that. ”

Lao Zhu was still puzzled: "To be a bodhisattva, do you want to purify sentient beings?

Venerable Ah Tai smiled and said, "You only enjoy the status of Buddhism now, and you don't have a clear position. ”

Lao Zhu was very dissatisfied: "Since he is a bodhisattva, how can he use the word 'messenger'?"

The Meritorious Buddha and Venerable Ah Wei glanced at each other, their faces a little solemn.

Venerable Ah Tai spoke: "Since I have received the Buddha's decree, I will explain it to you!"

"Your edict is agreed upon by all the Buddhas, and the Buddha of Zhantan Merit and the Buddha of Fighting and Victory are both regular Buddha names, needless to say. ”

"The Pure World Messenger Bodhisattva, the Pure World is the Bodhisattva title, and the word "world" can be used as the title, which means that it is very valued by Buddhism. If my Buddha came, he was honored by the people of Buddhism as the world-honored. The messenger said that you are doing the deputy position, and the bodhisattva is your fruition. ”

Lao Zhu understood that the so-called "Pure World Messenger Bodhisattva" is a messenger who enjoys the treatment of a Pure World Bodhisattva, and at most he is a deputy Bodhisattva.

Venerable Ah Tai then explained the title of the sand monk.

"As for the Eight Treasures Golden Body Arhat Bodhisattva, the Eight Treasures are titles, and the Golden Body Arhat is your current achievement, and it is also the Bodhisattva Fruition. ”

This means, in fact, the sand monk is just an arhat, but because of his merits, he is given the treatment of a bodhisattva.

After listening to this explanation, Sha Seng's black face became even darker.

Lao Zhu asked again: "What does the Eight Heavenly Dragon Guangli Bodhisattvas of the White Dragon Horse mean?"

Venerable Adu: "Guangli is the title of Bodhisattva, and Babu Tianlong is his affiliation in Buddhism. ”

Guangli Bodhisattva? Damn, the white dragon horse turned out to be a serious Bodhisattva?

Seeing that Zhu Tianpeng and Sha Seng were not good-looking, the Buddha of Merit said loudly: "The title is just the evaluation of your existing achievements by the Buddhas, and it is not immutable. In Zhu Wuguang's case, if there are great achievements in the future, you can remove the word messenger and become a pure world bodhisattva, which is the highest bodhisattva, which can be compared with the four great bodhisattvas. In terms of the status of Buddhism, many Buddhas are inferior to the four great bodhisattvas!"

Question, this is the future, what's the use of drawing a pie?

"Wujing, you don't have to worry, the title of the Eight Treasures is very good, my Buddhism has the most powerful Eight Treasures, you will be able to condense the Eight Treasures in the future, this is the fastest way to become a Buddha. ”

Seeing that the sand monk still couldn't let go, the Meritorious Buddha said again: "The white dragon horse is refining the true body, let me explain it to you first." ”

"Compared to the Bodhisattva, 'Guangli' is a miscellaneous name, and even if a dojo is set up in the future, it will be difficult to attract followers, and the achievements will be limited. What's more, he still has a specific job, and it is rare to be at ease. But you are different, you have no belonging, you can do whatever you want, and your future achievements will definitely be higher than his. ”

Don't be restrained? This is really what Zhu Tianpeng likes.

Lao Zhu said excitedly: "Master, you mean that we don't have to stay in Lingshan and go wherever we want?"

The Buddha of Merit smiled and said, "Except for Ao Lie, you and I are both free beings, if you don't like to stay in Lingshan, you can naturally establish a dojo elsewhere." ”

"In addition, you worshipped me as a teacher before, and I set Buddhist precepts for you, which is considered your ordination master, but not your Dharma teacher. In the future, don't call me Master!"

Sun Wukong opened his eyes and smiled: "This is good, this is good!"

Lao Zhu said: "If you don't call Master, what is it called?"

The Buddha of Merit pondered for a moment and said, "You all like to call yourself 'Lao Sun', 'Lao Zhu', and call Wujing 'Lao Sha', so why don't you just call me 'Lao Cicada'!"
