"I heard that Maitreya Buddha came out of Da Lei Yin Temple to teach the Dharma, and today he is teaching the Dharma at the Buddha City Kaiguang Temple, and we can also go to listen to the Dharma!" said a believer on the street.

"Hurry up to Kaiguang Temple, there are too many people for a while, and they can't squeeze in. ”

Many people are quickly heading towards Kaiguang Temple, afraid that it will be too late.

"From the Great Leiyin Temple?" Ye Chen was shocked in his heart, and said in his heart, this monk is not small, he actually came out of the Leiyin Temple.

Maitreya Buddha sat in the carriage with a smile on his face, and slowly walked towards Kaiguang Temple, along the way, many believers were sincerely kneeling down, worshipping not Maitreya Buddha, but the stone statue of Amitabha Buddha.

Ye Chen also followed the flow of people towards Kaiguang Temple.

On the way, Ye Chen inquired that Kaiguang Temple was the largest temple in the Buddha City, with countless believers and strong incense.

When I came to Kaiguang Temple, there were many monks standing at the gate of Kaiguang Temple, all of whom came to greet Maitreya Buddha. The leader is an old monk holding a golden Zen staff, the old monk is wearing a golden robe shining, and the Dharma on his body is flashing, like a Buddha.

"It seems that the incense of this Kaiguang Temple is indeed vigorous, and the power of faith in this old monk is very strong. Soul Elder said.

Ye Chen also felt it, and the Buddha light in this body was enough to explain the reason.

"Disciple Ran Hui, welcome Maitreya Buddha, Amitabha Buddha ......" The old monk Ran Hui folded his hands and said very respectfully.

The rest of the monks of Kaiguang Temple are all clasped hands, saluting respectfully, and reciting the Buddha's name in their mouths.

"Amitabha, Abbot Ranhui, I'm here to talk about the Dharma, so why do you want to stir up the people like this?" Maitreya Buddha said, touching his round belly.

When Ran Hui heard this, he hurriedly said: "Maitreya Buddha is the Venerable of Da Lei Yin Temple, we naturally can't be disrespectful, besides, there is a statue of Amitabha Buddha coming, so naturally we have to greet it, otherwise, it is a blasphemy of the Buddha." ”

Maitreya Buddha is a smiling face at any time, after entering the Kaiguang Temple, the Kaiguang Temple has already prepared the altar, and the Buddha statue brought by the Maitreya Buddha is enshrined in the center of the altar to accept everyone's worship.

Ye Chen and all the believers came to the Kaiguang Temple, sat in the huge square of the Kaiguang Temple, and listened to the teachings of Maitreya Buddha.

Maitreya Buddha sat on the altar, looked at everyone with a smile, and said with kind eyebrows: "We are all believers of the Buddha, I came from the Great Leiyin Temple, to purify all sentient beings, to save sentient beings from fire and water, to help them liberate, to spread the Dharma, if you have any problems, you can say it, I should relieve you of your troubles, for their liberation." ”

"Amitabha!" all the believers present folded their hands and chanted the Buddha's name.

"Maitreya Buddha, I am confused, I feel that I have lived too hard, my life has lost its meaning, what should I do?" said one of the believers with a dejected expression on his face.

"Where does suffering come from?" asked Maitreya Buddha.

"I live in poverty, I accept bullying and everything is not going well......"

"If you see all this as suffering, then things will not go well. What you are talking about is not suffering, but a kind of tempering for you, if you can endure such suffering, what else will be able to hit you in the future?" Maitreya Buddha said with kind eyes.

"Is this a test for me?"

"Everyone needs to go through a lot of hardships before they succeed, there is no suffering in life, if you feel suffering, then you are afraid, you are afraid in your heart, how can you see the true Buddha?" Maitreya Buddha smiled slightly.

"Thank you Maitreya Buddha, disciple understands. ”

When Ye Chen heard these conversations, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "The so-called Buddhism is to look at everything in a good direction, even in the face of suffering, we must be happy in suffering, and we must have beautiful hopes and pursuits in our hearts." ”

These are the simplest truths, but how many people can do them? In the face of suffering, let us smile, if everyone can do it, then everyone has become a Buddha. Soul Elder said.

"Those who can do it will become the Buddha in other people's mouths......" Ye Chen shook his head slightly.

Many people have asked Maitreya Buddha for advice, everyone has their own questions, Maitreya Buddha is one by one, but everything is the same, all of them are to let everyone have hope, contentment and happiness.

"Maitreya Buddha, may I ask, what is a demon and what is a Buddha?" At this time, Ye Chen opened his mouth and asked.

When Ye Chen's words fell, many people's eyes looked at Ye Chen, extremely curious as to why Ye Chen would ask such a question.

Buddha and demon can be said to be opposites, in the world of Buddha, there can be no demon!

Ran Hui also frowned, he glanced at Maitreya Buddha, Maitreya Buddha was still kind and kind, really wanted to speak, Maitreya Buddha said: "Buddha and demon are opposites, however, there is a Buddha is a demon." ”

"Then how do you distinguish between a demon and a Buddha?" Ye Chen said: "When we walk on the street, how can I tell whether a person is a demon or not? When a demon is disguised as a Buddha, is it a Buddha or a demon? When the Buddha's heart is shaken, is it a Buddha or a demon?"

Ye Chen's question was a little sharp, he was asking something about the Buddha and the devil, Ye Chen had always been worried about the Buddha and the devil, what is a demon and what is a Buddha? Who has the final say?

"Your question is good. Maitreya Buddha smiled and said: "The Buddha and the demon are only between one thought and one thought, one thought becomes a demon, and one thought becomes a Buddha! The reason why a Buddha is called a Buddha is because he has a good heart, great compassion, and a heart, and can cross people to be good and help people get out of the sea of suffering. ”

"The reason why a demon is a demon is because it is the opposite of the purpose of the Buddha, he makes people fall into the sea of suffering, cannot extricate themselves, destroys all good things, so they are regarded as demons. ”

"The Buddha is talking about forgiveness, since it is forgiveness, why can't you forgive the demon?" Ye Chen's question was even sharper, which was simply taboo in the eyes of many people.

"The demon and the Buddha are incompatible, naturally they want to be destroyed, how can the evil of the demon nature be forgiven?" Ran Hui said.

Ye Chen said: "The Buddha said to forgive everything, but he didn't do it, the devil is also included in all this, since it can't be forgiven, then how can it be called a Buddha? Everyone will have selfishness in their hearts, selfishness is the heart of the demon, with the heart of the demon, is the devil, there are too many demons in the sky, including Buddhism, there are also disciples who have selfishness, what should I do?"

"You are so bold that you dare to slander the Buddha!" one believer shouted loudly.

"Slander the Buddha, you should blast it out!"

"It should be punished!"

Many believers were angry and pointed at Ye Chen, with a face full of righteous indignation.

"Everyone, don't be impatient!" Maitreya Buddha said with a smile: "Everyone does have selfishness, that is, the demons in the heart, and the demons in the heart are strong and weak, which will affect our minds, but the Buddha can destroy the demons in the heart, and the demons can only let the demons grow wantonly, and in the end, they will be out of control." ”

"We forgive demons, and our forgiveness is to send them to Elysium, where they can be baptized by the Buddha. "Maitreya Buddha clasped his hands together.

"May I ask Maitreya Buddha, am I a demon or a Buddha?" Ye Chen asked.

Maitreya Buddha said: "That is, the Buddha is a demon, and the non-demon is a Buddha......

"That means that Maitreya Buddha can't answer?" Ye Chen said lightly.

"It's easy for a Buddha to be a demon, it's just a thought, how can you tell if it's a Buddha or a demon?" said Maitreya Buddha.

Ye Chen said: "In this way, this sentence can also be used on Maitreya Buddha?"

"Yes. Maitreya Buddha nodded.

Ye Chen clasped his hands together, and then stopped talking.

"This person is so unreasonable that he would say such a thing to Maitreya Buddha!"

"Knock him out. ”

Maitreya Buddha said: "The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, and everyone has the right to speak, so why should you be obsessed with this?"

"Amitabha. Many believers folded their hands and listened to the words of Maitreya Buddha.

This time the lecture lasted for three hours, and not a single believer left on the way, only more believers came to listen.

"The light of the Buddha in the stone statue of Amitabha seems to have increased a lot. Ye Chen looked at the Buddha statue and was surprised in his heart.

The soul elder said: "Is this Amitabha Buddha collecting the power of faith for Amitabha?"

"Isn't Amitabha Buddha long gone in the human realm, what's the use of collecting the power of faith?" Ye Chen wondered.

Soul Lao said: "Although Amitabha Buddha is not in the human world, he is not already seated, as long as Amitabha Buddha is still alive, then the power of faith in the human world will be blessed on his body." ”

Ye Chen was shocked and said, "I see, no wonder there are so many Amitabha Buddha statues in the Western Regions." ”

"In the past, in the Western Regions, there was only a statue of Amitabha Buddha, but now there is one more Shakyamuni Buddha, and there is also a statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, robbing part of the power of faith, perhaps it is precisely because of this that Maitreya Buddha took this opportunity to preach Amitabha Buddha. Soul Elder said.

"Does Shakyamuni Buddha want to surpass Amitabha?" Ye Chen said.

The soul elder smiled: "This is impossible, because no one recites Shakyamuni Buddha, only people recite Amitabha, and every time a believer recites Amitabha, he is exuding a kind of wishing power." Unless all the statues of Amitabha Buddha are smashed and everyone recites Shakyamuni Buddha, no one can surpass Amitabha. ”

Ye Chen nodded, feeling that this was extremely incredible, he didn't dare to imagine how terrifying the power of Amitabha Buddha's faith had reached now.

After the accumulation of countless years, it can be said that the strength of Amitabha Buddha is probably even more unimaginable.

After the Maitreya Buddha finished preaching, all the believers bowed down to the statue of Amitabha Buddha before leaving the Kaiguang Temple.

Ye Chen was about to leave, when he saw Maitreya Buddha walking towards him with a big belly, and said with a smile: "Why is the donor obsessed with the debate between Buddha and demons? It is actually difficult to tell whether it is a Buddha or a demon. ”

"The Buddha and the demon are at ease in their hearts, but sometimes, they are also uncontrollable. Ye Chen smiled faintly.
