Chapter 2: The Golden Cicada is degraded
Next to him, the white-clothed Guanyin Bodhisattva pondered for a moment, looked around, saw that the thousand Buddhas were silent, and no one spoke in the Nuo Dabao Hall, sighed slightly, stepped forward and said: "The disciple has something unclear, I hope my Buddha will give you advice." ”
The Buddha's face remained unchanged, his mouth opened slightly, and he replied: "Cihang, but it doesn't hurt to say." ”
Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "This golden cicada into my Buddhism, abide by the precepts can be a model, intensive study of Buddhism is quite attained, the collection of Sanskrit scriptures with all his heart, I see that he has a high understanding, deep wisdom, today on the altar of the mind in a trance, perhaps because of his day and night work to sort out the scriptures, if this is degraded to the mortal world, is not a small mistake and a big punishment? and make my Buddhism lose a material that can be made, it is a pity. Please be enlightened. ”
"Master Guanyin is reasonable, please think twice. Manjushri Bodhisattva, Puxian Bodhisattva and others have stepped forward to speak.
Rulai has no waves in the ancient well in his heart, and at this time he took a deep look at several Bodhisattvas, and said: "This golden cicada does some trivial things every day, although there is some merit, but it rarely has a great future. ”
Seeing that Guanyin was about to persuade again, Rulai stretched out a wide palm and stopped: "I have my own consideration for this matter, don't say anything more about the Bodhisattvas." ”
Guanyin, Manjushri, Fuxian and other Bodhisattvas retreated according to the order, and their expressions were a little gloomy for a while.
When he saw this, he secretly transmitted it to Guanyin Bodhisattva with a secret voice: "Don't I know the character of the golden cicada? If the Tao will change today, my Buddhism must take precautions, I have an important mission, I need to dare to endure hardships, tenacious and reliable people to do, this matter is related to my Buddha's missionary plan, non-loyal people can not do." ”
Guanyin Bodhisattva received the secret sound, seemed to have an understanding, and hurriedly said: "The disciple understands. ”
Rulai thought for a while, and then said: "Ananda, Jiaye, quickly call the golden cicada to turn back to the Great Leiyin Temple, I have something to say." ”
Here, when Guanyin Bodhisattva and others were convincing Rulai, the golden cicada over there had already left the Great Leiyin Temple with the Dharma Protector Jialan, and was driving the clouds in mid-air, ready to fall into the mortal dust immediately.
Suddenly heard a shout behind him: "Golden cicada slow walk", Jin Cicada turned around, saw a Buddha with big ears, wide body and fat body, smiling cutely, sitting in the clouds, is chasing after the clouds, it turned out to be the Buddha Maitreya Buddha from the East, bowed down and said: "I have seen the Buddha from the East!"
Maitreya Buddha stood up, saw that the golden cicada's face was gloomy and his spirit was not good, and after a sigh, he said: "Jin Chanzi, I already know everything about you, and now that the years have passed, the future is unpredictable, do you know the six reincarnations?"
"Returning to the Buddha from the East, as far as the poor monks know, the six realms of reincarnation are the path of heaven, the path of asura, the path of humanity, the path of animals, the path of hungry ghosts, and the path of hell. The way of heaven and humanity is mostly good, and the path of Shura, the path of livestock, the path of hungry ghosts, and the path of hell are mostly evil. ”
"Hehehe, exactly. It is said that your Golden Cicada Elder has a wide range of knowledge, and sure enough, but you are about to descend to the mortal world, what do you think now?"
"The Buddha from the East has won the award, and in the future, I will just wander in the mortal world and live in the present. Jin Chanzi said gloomily.
"Young man, too decadent, too decadent!" Maitreya Buddha shook his head, "Hehe, listen to the old monk's advice, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and Hongchen can also refine the heart, so you should smile at it! If you can go through ten lifetimes without dying, you will still have the opportunity to return to this spiritual mountain." ”
Maitreya Buddha unloaded a white bag from his left shoulder, and smiled: "Have you seen it? ”
"The golden cicada stays------ turn around immediately, and the Buddha beckons you. Ananda and Ka Ye came panting and said to the golden cicada: "Elder Jin Chanzi go back quickly, the World Venerable still has something to say." ”
After that, Maitreya Buddha, Ananda, Ka Ye, Golden Cicada and Dharma Protector Garan soared through the clouds and fog together, and went straight back to Lingshan Da Lei Yin Temple.
The golden cicada walked in front of Rulai and was silent.
Rulai's face was still calm, his mouth was slightly open, and he asked, "Today, the altar will descend you to the mortal world, do you have any grudges in your heart?"
Jin Chanzi replied in a deep voice: "The disciple despised my sect and had a precedent, but with the punishment of the world, the disciple did not complain. ”
"Well, very good! The world is blessed with bliss in the west, and they all want to become a Buddha on the ground, but they don't know: the Buddha is in his heart, and the spiritual mountain is only in your heart. It is not the spiritual mountain that can become a Buddha, and the red world can also cultivate the Buddha, only in the sincerity and strength of the heart!"
"Jiaolong dives the sea tiger lying in the forest,
Ascetic practice outside the city of Gaya.
Seven days and seven nights of relief,
Listen to the cicadas under the linden tree. ”
Rulai seemed to be immersed in his memory, and continued: "Golden Cicada, you were originally a enlightened golden cicada on the Bodhi tree, and you were overjoyed when you heard the sound of the Buddha, and often sang day and night, flapping your wings and harmonizing, you accompanied me on the Bodhi tree outside the city of Gaya, Tianzhu Kingdom for seven days and seven nights, and after seven days and seven nights, I became a Buddha. For thousands of years, you have listened to the Dharma, practiced penance, cultivated the Dharmakaya, entered my Buddha's door, and became my disciple! Now that you are about to fall into the mortal world, I promise you that you will not fall into the six realms, and that you will not suffer from the six realms of reincarnation. If you can still be immortal after ten lifetimes, and you have your own guide to guide you, then you can go to the east! ”
After speaking, the smiling Maitreya Buddha walked in front of the golden cicada, and the Maitreya Buddha opened the moon-white acquired bag, this bag grew when the wind was seen, quite magical, and instantly grew into a huge pocket, the bag was dark and lightless, incomparably deep, like a tunnel.
Maitreya Buddha still smiled, and said loudly: "Amitayus Buddha! Elder Golden Cicada, come on." ”
Jin Chanzi's sword eyebrows are slightly raised, the heart is quiet, as quiet as in the past, the carved face looks handsome and dignified at this time, after facing the Buddha and the Buddha, the golden and brilliant Daxiong Treasure Hall and the face of the reluctance, a group of different forms of Buddha, Bodhisattva, Arhat flashed in the eyes one by one, Jin Chanzi's eyes flashed a trace of reluctance, and then resolutely turned around, only in this heart left the last memory of Lingshan.
The golden cicada is obliquely draped in a crimson robe, reciting the Buddha's name silently in his mouth, with a steady gait, and calmly walks towards the acquired bag of Maitreya Buddha.
At this time, the voice of the Buddha suddenly came from behind him: "Don't forget the original intention, you can always get it;
This voice is extremely thick, deafening, and the sound waves are terrifying and echoing in the Daxiong Treasure Palace!
The golden cicada walked to the mouth of the acquired bag standing on the ground, and suddenly saw a mixed element hurricane swept in the bag, and suddenly dragged the golden cicada's body straight into the depths of the bag, and the golden cicada relaxed its body, without making any struggle, and let the body continue to roll and squeeze in the bag, and the mixed element hurricane roared sharply in the darkness, tearing violently.
When dying, the golden cicada only faintly heard the sound of "tu, tu, tu", the wooden fish percussion, accompanied by the Buddhas chanting the Buddha number "Nan no Amitabha. ”
