Chapter 227: Five Divine Powers
"If you want to learn the magical powers of Buddhism, you should first read the scriptures and understand the teachings of Buddhism. The "Treatise on Great Wisdom" contains ten thousand laws, and the "Yoga Treatise" and "The Sutra of Aham" contain the true meaning www.biquge.info of supernatural powers, and these three Buddhist scriptures must be read. ”
"After knowing the "Treatise on Great Wisdom", "Yoga Sutra" and "Ahama Sutra", you should recite the "Sutra of Amitayus" and realize in the scriptures that you have great Buddha's great wishes. ”
When the Meritorious Buddha spoke, Sun Wukong first sat cross-legged, then changed to squatting, and then sat directly on the desk, without a moment of silence.
Sha Seng has been sitting honestly, his eyebrows and eyes are lowered, his face is calm and waveless, and he has not reacted in the slightest way despite the fact that the Buddha of merit has said that he has nothing to do.
Ever since he sat down, Ao Lie had been tilting his head and staring at the ceiling, not knowing what he was looking at!
Lao Zhu looked at this for a while, looked at that for a while, guessed in his heart which one was listening carefully, and after watching it for a long time, he didn't find a "good student"!
The meritorious Buddha said with a dry mouth, and when he saw the state of the four people below, he was helpless.
"Alas, I know that you don't like to read Buddhist scriptures, so do you still want to learn Buddhist powers?"
Sun Wukong immediately shouted: "Willing to learn! Willing to learn! Teach my grandson first!"
Sha Seng opened his eyes, and Ao Lie stopped looking at the ceiling.
Lao Zhu asked: "Old Cicada, what are the magical powers of Buddhism?
The four are all bodhisattvas and above, and they are respected in Buddhism, but they don't like to read Buddhist scriptures, and they don't even understand common sense of Buddhism.
The Buddha of Merit couldn't laugh and cry, and sighed: "You also have to learn two volumes of Buddhist scriptures, right? At least you can understand Sanskrit, right?"
"What do you learn from that? Lao Sun doesn't do things for people!"
After listening to Sun Wukong's words, Lao Zhu smiled and said: "Old Cicada, don't you know Sanskrit? How good it would be to pass it on to us directly! lest everyone waste time and fail to learn a result." ”
"It's still Bajie who knows the reason. ”
Sun Wukong and Zhu Tianpeng sang and harmonized, and the meritorious Buddha could only pass Sanskrit directly to the four of them with divine sense.
After passing the Sanskrit language, the Buddha of Merit began to explain the magical powers of Buddhism.
"There are a total of five kinds of Buddhist supernatural powers that can be practiced, namely Tianyantong, Tianertong, Hexintong, Fateful Tong, and Shenzu Tong. ”
This time, Lao Zhu spoke first: "What are the wonders of the five kinds of supernatural powers?"
"The eye of the sky can know the shape and color of the thickness of the distance and the thickness of the distance, as well as the insight into the nature of things. ”
"Heaven and ears can know and hear the six languages of living beings, and listen to all kinds of voices in the world. ”
"He has a clear heart, can know the thoughts and thoughts of sentient beings in the six realms, lead people to goodness, and free their hearts. ”
"Fate, you can know the karma of the six realms of sentient beings, as well as the fate of reincarnation. ”
"God is full of energy, and he can come and go freely in the world, without hindrance. ”
As soon as the words of the meritorious Buddha were finished, Sun Wukong jumped out and shouted: "I have fiery eyes, and the eyes of heaven belong to Lao Sun!"
Sha Seng: "I learn ......"
Ao Lie: "I want ......"
"Wait!"
Lao Zhu shouted, covered all his voices, and then asked the Buddha of Merit: "Old Cicada, is this supernatural power my own choice......?
"Wait!" it turned out to be Ao Lie who jumped out and interrupted Zhu Tianpeng.
Sha Seng was not to be outdone, and said quietly: "Little junior brother, you are the last in line, let's let the senior brothers choose first?"
"Shut up!"
The meritorious Buddha was very annoyed, and he didn't say a word when he talked about the Buddhist scriptures, and he couldn't wait to speak first when he said that he was choosing the Buddha's magical powers.
"No need to argue! everyone has their own talents, everyone has their own fate, you can choose one of them, you can choose the same supernatural powers, if you can't learn it, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
This time, the four of them were silent!
It didn't take long for Sun Wukong to speak first: "My old grandson still chooses Tianyantong!"
The Buddha of Merit nodded and said, "Wukong originally had fiery eyes, and it is most suitable for you to practice the Heavenly Eye." ”
No one expected that the second person to speak would be Ao Lie! I only heard him say: "I want to practice Shenzu Tong, is it feasible?"
The Meritorious Buddha nodded again and again: "The True Dragon Clan is already good at changing the wind and clouds, and the Divine Foot Pass is compatible with your talent, which is feasible!"
Hearing what the Buddha of Merit said, Lao Zhu was anxious, he originally wanted to choose the one with divine powers!
Although he can still choose the Divine Foot Skill, but Buddhism has always been particular about acting, since the old cicada said that everyone chooses the same, he must leave the five kinds of divine powers in the Journey to the West team, Ao Lie has been recognized, and most of the others will not be able to learn it.
When Zhu Tianpeng was still thinking about it, Sha Seng had already spoken up: "Old Cicada, if I choose Tian's ear, can I learn it?"
Although the Heavenly Ear Pass can hear all kinds of sounds in the world, the cultivator can communicate with his divine sense, and it has no effect on the gods and monsters.
The Buddha smiled: "Extremely correct choice!"
Sun Wukong, Ao Lie and Sha Seng have all been chosen, and the only ones left are fateful and his heart.
Master Wuchao Zen Master once said that "his heart is clear" is just a small magical power.
Lao Zhu didn't hesitate, and said, "I'll learn fate!"
The Buddha smiled and nodded: "You once said, but I am the one who seeks knowledge!
After being reminded by the Buddha of Merit, Lao Zhu also woke up, if he did it all over again, let him choose first, and after careful consideration, he would most likely still choose fate.
At this time, Zhu Tianpeng was very sober-minded, and he also respected Buddhism in his heart.
If he understands correctly, Buddhism does not really want them to choose to learn supernatural powers, but through the matter of choosing supernatural powers, let them recognize themselves!
Sun Wukong learns Tianyantong, Lao Zhu learns fate, Sha Seng learns Tianertong, Ao Lie learns Shenzutong, and the rest of his heart can only be learned by the Buddha of merit.
The Buddha's supernatural powers have been chosen, but how can they be practiced?
"If you are allowed to chant sutras and participate in meditation and comprehend supernatural powers on your own, I am afraid that you will not have the patience! My Buddha is merciful, and I ask Amitabha Buddha to give you a lecture on the scriptures, and whether you can realize the supernatural powers depends on your chance!"
The so-called lectures are mostly pretexts, and they should be asked to teach Amitabha Buddha to them.
Everyone is overjoyed, no need to learn scriptures, meditate and participate in Zen, and get a magical power in vain, who is not happy?
Under the leadership of the Buddha of Merit, everyone passed through dozens of Sutra Pavilion Zen monasteries and came to the merit pool.
The round merit pond is not large when viewed from a distance, but it feels very wide when you get closer.
The pond is covered with emerald green lotus leaves, covering almost all the water in the pond, and there are eighty-one huge lotus flowers swaying in the pool, with a total of five flower colors: red lotus, white lotus, purple lotus, green lotus and golden lotus.
On top of a golden lotus flower in the middle, Amitabha Buddha sits cross-legged with his left hand and his right hand spread outwards on his leg.
The Buddha of Merit led everyone to greet him, and after reporting his name, he said: "I respectfully invite the Buddha to give a lecture and give guidance to the five disciples!"
As soon as the words of the Buddha of Merit fell, Lao Zhu found that he was already standing on a white lotus flower, and the other four also stood on a lotus flower.
Seeing that the Meritorious Buddha had already meditated cross-legged, Lao Zhu also hurriedly sat down.
"All sentient beings, hearing its name, rejoicing in faith, and even dedicating their hearts to another country, will be reborn, and will not retreat......"
Amitabha Buddha did not have any prelude, and directly opened his mouth to preach the scriptures.
Although the words are in his ears, Lao Zhu can hear it in a fog, and he really doesn't understand what it means!
Amitabha Buddha kept reciting the scriptures, and the more Lao Zhu listened, the more his brain became dizzy, and he fell asleep unconsciously!
I don't know how long later, when Lao Zhu woke up, he found that he was already on the shore of the merit pool, and there were four companions by his side, all sitting cross-legged and quiet.
Lao Zhu carefully recalled the scriptures he heard, and he only remembered one sentence: "If you don't know fate, you will not get enlightenment if you know the hundreds of billions of people who have suffered from all the calamities." ”
He couldn't help but feel a little frustrated in his heart, is Lao Zhu's qualifications so poor? Amitabha Buddha has read so many scriptures that he has only memorized one sentence? Even the sentence he has memorized has not been able to understand thoroughly!
He couldn't figure it out himself, and was about to ask the Meritorious Buddha, but just as he was about to speak, he couldn't even think of the only sentence, leaving only three words in his mind: "fate, fate, and knowledge"!
"Old Cicada, what scripture is the Buddha reciting?"
Hearing Zhu Tianpeng's question, the old cicada opened his eyes and replied with some uncertainty: "It should be the Amitayus Sutra, right?"
Sun Wukong said with a smile: "Old Cicada, you have heard it wrong! What is the Sutra of Amitayus? Old Sun Ke can understand that Amitabha Buddha only said the three words 'Heavenly Eyes See'!"
