Chapter 23: "The Thunder of Buddhism Shocks the Heavenly Court, and the Jade Emperor Decrees and Canonization"
Seeing that the battle had been settled, and that the momentum of Sakyamuni had risen, he knew that it was the general trend of heaven's will, so he said to the Buddhas and Buddhas: "Today's controversy is also because of me, and now, my Dharma has been passed on to Sakyamuni, who is proficient in Buddhism, and has supreme mana, from now on, I will pass on the position of Buddhist teacher to Sakyamuni, you and others belong to his disciples, and follow them in a good life, and promote my Buddhism." ”
All the Buddhists have followed the lamp for many years, and now they hear the Buddha master say this, all chant the Buddha's name, most of them are reluctant, but respect the life of the Buddha who burns the lamp.
Lighting the lamp and draped the robe on Shakyamuni's body, as a token of inheritance, so that the disciples of Buddhism who originally followed him would see the supreme Buddha when they saw the robe.
Shakyamuni respectfully received it, and those disciples who originally followed the lamp were rightfully returned to the door of Leiyin Temple, and Shakyamuni also called Shakyamuni "Rulai".
Rulai inherited the Dharma and built a treasure pavilion in Lingshan, and settled the Buddhist master with a good life.
Burning the lamp gradually ceased to participate in practical things, and was honored by the Buddha of the present world as the ancient Buddha of the previous life.
And Peacock and Dapeng were both sealed as protectors, and they also settled down again.
Eagle Mountain also removed the vulture character and changed its name to Spirit Mountain.
That Dapeng himself was occupied by the nest, originally belonged to his own Lingshan Mountain became the Lingshan of Rulai, there was still injustice in his heart, he got a false name of protector, there was no offering, and Dapeng ate very fiercely, originally needed a dragon to eat every day, returned to the Buddha Gate, and could not eat meat in the open, resentment in his heart, always trying to find an opportunity to stay away from Lingshan, and go on his own.
If he finally ranks in the supreme position of Buddhism, he has not forgotten Bodhi, and wants Bodhi to be the first to be the first to stand under the frame, but Bodhi said that he can't be called with him, and he doesn't want to become his disciple, he is already a free immortal, and he only wants to practice purely.
Then it is located in the middle of the thousand mountains, the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain in Xiniu Hezhou, called the "Three Star Cave of the Oblique Moon", hidden in the cave of the mountain forest, teaching the law to the disciples, and being free in the world.
If you come to see that Bodhi has no intention of being born, and you know that you can't change it, you will say to Bodhi: "Since Brother Dao doesn't want to stay in Lingshan, don't go far, when the time comes, I often come to ask." ”
Bodhi nodded, sent Nyorai away, and continued to cultivate his mind and preach.
Although Bodhi did not seek a position, but the relationship with the Buddha has not been broken, the two often go back and forth to exchange the Tao, Bodhi does not have cumbersome contacts with the people of the Lingshan Mountain, every time it is like coming and going to the Bodhi place, the two talk about the Buddha and the Dafa, others do not know.
Burning the lamp is called the ancient Buddha, since then it is leisurely, most of the Lingshan are the descendants of the lamp, heaven and earth can be equivalent to the qualifications of the only Sanqing gods, so the lamp often goes to talk with the three Qing, and gradually ignores the Lingshan things.
If to respect is a major event of Buddhism, Buddhism sent a messenger to tell the Jade Emperor, although Buddhism is self-contained, but the name of all walks of life in heaven and earth are under the control of the heavenly court, the Jade Emperor learned that Rulai has taken the throne, and now comes to announce, so he came to Taishang Laojun to discuss how to arrange.
Lao Jun came to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall where the Jade Emperor was deliberating, and met the Jade Emperor according to etiquette, and the Jade Emperor returned the courtesy, Lao Jun did not wait for the Jade Emperor to speak, and said first: "This time I am looking for the old man to discuss the matter of Amitabha who has been reincarnated and cultivated, I heard that he is now in the respect of Buddhism, and his Dharma name is like this?"
The Jade Emperor said: "In this matter of heaven and earth, how can there be an old gentleman who does not know, it is this matter." ”
Lao Jun said: "That Amitabha is from the realm of chaos, and he once listened to the sermons of Hongjun Ancestor with us. After the opening of the heavens that year, he and Bodhian Heaven and Earth Water and Fire did their best in the war of the gods. Although it comes from the outside world, it has been reincarnated in this world, and is now called "Sakyamuni Nyorai". Although he was not appointed by the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court could send a decree to canonize him to rule the four major continents, so that Heaven and Earth also knew that his status and honor were the result of the great grace of the Heavenly Court. ”
When the Jade Emperor heard this, he said: "Okay, I will canonize it according to Lao Jun's suggestion, but these four continents are all with him, and I am reluctant, what should I do?"
Lao Jun understood the Jade Emperor's worries, and said: "This canonization is to let the immortals and everyone in the world know that the Buddha Gate in charge of Rulai is subordinate to the Heavenly Court. The four continents are vast in circumference, and one West Niu He Continent is enough to support his disciples. Although the name is under his jurisdiction, he cannot take care of it all, but in fact it is still in your hands. ”
As soon as the Jade Emperor heard that Lao Jun had broken the important point, he was overjoyed in his heart, and was about to issue a decree to appoint, but he thought about it again, and there was still something uneasy, so he said to Lao Jun: "I still have one thing to worry about, that is, although the Rulai is located in Lingshan, but all the people in the world who believe in his Buddhism can take refuge in his Buddhism, if it is not controlled, there is bound to be a possibility of being out of control, which will affect the number of people who enter our Daomen, how is this good, and that Rulai is far away from the heavenly court, and we can't immediately grasp his movements there, and there are many inappropriate." ”
After listening to what the Jade Emperor said, Lao Jun said: "What you said is quite reasonable, and there is a way to do this, you can send a Heavenly Court Immortal to guard the main road to Lingshan, firstly, to let that Lingshan know that if you want to practice to become a Buddha and visit Lingshan, you must go through the permission of Heavenly Court, and don't let it expand at will." Second, it is good to supervise the every move of the Spirit Mountain, and report to the heavenly court at any time. ”
After hearing Lao Jun's words, the Jade Emperor removed most of his worries in his heart, and asked Lao Jun: "Lao Jun, do you have a good candidate?"
Lao Jun said: "I have a disciple, the Golden Peak Immortal, who can take on this responsibility." ”
The Jade Emperor was satisfied, and immediately wrote the will of the canonization of Rulai, and wrote a letter of appointment by hand, crowned the Jinding Daxian Zheng, and sent the Xiantai Platinum Star together with the Jinding Daxian to the Leiyin Law Temple in Lingshan in Xiniu Hezhou, and delivered the canonized documents.
The Jade Emperor wanted to officially canonize Rulai, and an advance envoy had already informed Lingshan in advance, and when he heard that the Jade Emperor was going to send an envoy to officially canonize in Lingshan, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered everyone to arrange the reception of the Jade Emperor's envoy according to the grand ceremony.
The Jade Emperor wanted to canonize Rulai, and also issued a reward to rebuild the Leiyin Temple.
This has the human and financial support of the Heavenly Palace, and the craftsmen of the Heavenly Court are used together, a huge project, which takes many days, and the treasure hall of the new Leiyin Temple is completed, just waiting for the canonization ceremony.
I saw the newly built Leiyin Temple hall, magnificent and majestic, mighty essence. The golden tile is stacked on the top, the bright red bricks are paved on the ground, the red light is put on the main hall, the purple glow is around the outside of the main hall, and the Ruicai is ten thousand, like a treasure attic.
It's really the end of the dust, and the catastrophe is unshaken. A tall building, several storeys of pavilions. Soaring into the sky, towering over the clouds, looking down at the sun, reaching out to pick up the stars. The window lattices are wide and the screens are wide and thick. The fairy flowers are all around, and the green pines are raining. Xianzhi is facing the sun, and the white cranes of Cailuan are coiled all day long.
Lingshan sent invitations all over the world, inviting all the immortals from overseas and on the earth to come together to witness the blessings of heaven, and Lingshan was a cadre of disciples, knowing that it was the biggest event since the establishment of Lingshan Leiyin Temple, and immediately packed up and prepared together, and worked hard to make no mistakes.
