Chapter 469 Shakya judged, lighting the lamp and making it difficult
Regardless of the teachings of man, exposition, Shuraism, or the wonderful land of the Eastern Heavens, the Mahayana Buddhism on the Lingshan Mountain began to prepare for the 'White Horse Sutra and the Dharma Transmission to the East' in accordance with the agreement between Shakyamuni and Li Daoxu.
Shakyamuni is not like Guangchengzi, Brahma and the remnants of the demon clan of the Eastern Heavenly Wonderful Land and the ascended in the lower realm, but his understanding of the sect master of the sect and Li Daoxu is extremely profound.
He never believed that the first disciple of the third generation of the Xuanmen, who had always been appreciated and praised by the Tongtian Sect Master, would lose to the Eastern Emperor in the battle he took the initiative to invite, let alone die in a panic. However, he also knew that the Tongtian Sect Master was guarding the World Crystal Wall in the Innate Yuan Qi Realm, and if the Eastern Emperor really killed Li Daoxu, it would be impossible for him to escape under the Tongtian Sect Master's hands.
Therefore, when he saw that the Eastern Emperor Fuji had returned to the Eastern Heavenly Wonderful Land, he fell into a deep sleep, and immediately decided that the Great War was the defeat of the Eastern Emperor Fuji, and Li Daoxu quietly returned to the flood after the victory, and was preparing the next plan to revive the sect and suppress the forces of the heavens.
It is also for this reason that Shakyamuni did not lead Mahayana Buddhism to participate in the invasion of the human race when the forces of the heavens were disturbing, but silently developed and cultivated monks in Xiniu Hezhou and waited for the ascension of the fourth emperor of the Han Dynasty in the agreement.
When Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, who was supported by the sect of interception, finally took over the Chixiao Sword and Heshi Bi from the hands of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and became the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Mahayana Buddhism finally began to 'carry the Sutra on the White Horse, and spread the Dharma to the east'.
On the top of the spiritual mountain, just like the grand meeting when Shakyamuni became the ancestor of all Buddhas, Amitabha Buddha, Zhun Ti Buddha's mother, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, arhats and thousands of monks were gathered together to discuss the matter of 'White Horse Sutra and Dharma Transmission to the East'.
At the beginning of the Buddhist meeting, Shakyamuni first explained the new sense of Buddhism and solved problems and disasters for the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats and thousands of monks, and then explained the main purpose of this Buddhist meeting.
However, when Shakyamuni's words just fell, a lantern with an innate spiritual treasure coffin lamp on his head, his right hand turning into the heavenly Yuanhua sun, moon and stars, and his left hand showing the earth's Yuanhua water, fire and wind The burning lamp Dingguang Ancient Buddha came out to challenge Shakyamuni and asked.
"I have heard that the Sect of Interception of the East Pole Evergreen Emperor and the Emperor of the East Heaven died in a battle outside the territory, and now the Sect of Interception is even weaker, and it is already the forces of the heavens such as people, interpretation, and Shura who have begun to promote the education of the human race. May I ask the World-Honored One, why does our Mahayana Buddhism still practice this 'White Horse Sutra and the Dharma Transmission to the East' in accordance with the Old Testament? Could it be that the World-Honored One still has a lingering affection for the interception of the teachings, so he is reluctant to take action?"
After lighting the lamp and fixing the light of the ancient Buddha's words, dozens of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and hundreds of Arhats immediately lined up at the same time to bow to Shakyamuni with their hands folded, and said in unison: "Please solve our doubts!"
Shakyamuni sat on the Golden Lotus Lotus Platform of the Eight Grades of Merit, and his expression remained unchanged in the face of the questioning of the Ancient Buddha of Burning the Lamp and Fixing the Light, and when he decided to act according to the agreement with Li Daoxu, he had already prepared for today's questioning, but he did not expect that it would be the Ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp and the Ancient Buddha of the Lamp that conferred the lamp and passed on the lamp to take the lead.
But in the end, after thinking about it, the most likely thing to speak was this Burning Lamp Fixing Light Ancient Buddha, who was the Buddha of the past before he preached, and became the real power of the Western Sect with his ancient Buddha powers, and thus obtained a fortune resource offering that was far superior to that of being the deputy head of the Illumination Sect. However, after he preached, all his real power was taken back by himself, the ancestor of the Ten Thousand Buddhas, and the luck resources he enjoyed became even worse than the original treatment of teachings, so it is no wonder that he had to stand up and fight for himself.
It's just that when Shakyamuni thought that the ancient Buddha of burning the lamp and fixing the light was the end, the Hinayana Buddhist leader 'Zhun Ti Buddha Mother', who was sitting on the platform of another eight-grade merit golden lotus lotus behind him as a special guest, opened his mouth and urged: "I thought that what the ancient Buddha mentioned by the lamp and fixed the light is reasonable, and it is better for Shakyamuni Buddha to explain one or two!"
The other Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and monks in the Buddhist assembly all nodded their heads because of the words of the Buddha's mother, but Shakyamuni and the guide who turned into Amitabha Buddha were all terrified, and the first reaction of the two of them was, 'Zhun Ti is really dissatisfied with entering Hinayana Buddhism, and is going to attack Mahayana Buddhism.' ’
Shakyamuni knew that this was his first great tribulation as the head of Mahayana Buddhism, and he did not dare to hesitate and even began to explain: "I am the master of Mahayana Buddhism, and I have already cut off the past in my previous life, so what does it have to do with that sect? The reason why I still act according to the covenant with the Emperor of the Eastern Pole is because the Emperor of the Eastern Heaven fought with him, and not only did he not die but also won the victory, and now he should have returned to the desolation to plot the next plan to revive the sect and suppress the forces of the heavens. ”
Since the ancient Buddha of Zhun Ti has already had an alliance with Zhun Ti, how could he not use the ability of the Zhun Ti sage to probe Li Daoxu's life and death, and after hearing Shakyamuni's explanation, he saluted and asked: "I listened to the words of the Buddha Mother Zhun Ti when I went to Zen, and the Sect of the Eastern Pole Evergreen Emperor has never had a flood since the Eastern Heaven Emperor entered the territory. I don't know what evidence the Lord said, and if there is no evidence, I can't believe what the Lord said. ”
Shakyamuni's face darkened, the judgment he made was indeed based on Li Daoxu's past free mind evidence, it was obtained by experience and intuition, and there was no need for any evidence, so it was naturally impossible for him to come up with evidence that Li Daoxu had returned to the flood or to find out the location of Li Daoxu's traces.
He also couldn't help but be angry, the current situation is completely caused by his lack of prestige and unstable power in Mahayana Buddhism, if he has stabilized his power as the ancestor of all Buddhas, even if he has no way to show evidence to his subordinates, just talking about his own experience and intuition is enough to convince his subordinates.
In the end, Shakyamuni stared at the burning lamp tightly and said: "The Sect Interception Sect Eastern Pole Evergreen Emperor is already a mixed Yuan Dao fruit, although I have reached the realm of semi-saints, how can I detect his whereabouts? ”
In the face of Shakyamuni's question, Randen replied with a solemn expression and righteous awe: "Since the World Venerable has no evidence to prove that this Eastern Pole Evergreen Emperor survived or appeared in the flood wilderness, it is difficult to escape the suspicion that the cause and effect of the relationship with the sect have not been broken. In my opinion, under such a situation, it is no longer suitable for the power of the ancestor of ten thousand Buddhas, and I also ask the World Venerable to temporarily enter the Bagua Merit Pool until he proves his innocence!"
Because of the sudden words that the lamp was almost about to 'force the king to abdicate', the entire Lingshan Buddha Association immediately became agitated, and the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats who supported Shakyamuni and supported the ancient Buddha who lit the lamp and fixed the light were all divided into two sides in a hidden way.
