In the earth fairy world, in the extreme west of Xiniuhe Continent, there is a vast and boundless huge mountain range, called Ling Mountain.

The top of the spiritual mountain, has its own heaven and earth, on it is the central Suo Po Pure Land, in the pure land, there is a pagoda, the tower is in four directions, each side has a width of 48,000 zhang, the height is also 48,000 zhang, there are seven layers, each layer hangs with relics, the Buddha's light shines, there is no day and no night, the whole pure land is illuminated.

This floating slaughter, towering between heaven and earth, its size is incomparable, but there is no one in the tower, only two monks in front of the door, compared with the floating slaughter, it is like two ants.

These two monks, Ananda and Gaya, are the personal disciples of the Buddha, who respect the Nyorai Dharma, protect the central Pure Land of Sava, and welcome the arrival of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats.

After a while, I saw the Buddha in the distance, auspicious clouds, and many Buddhas embraced each other.

The Buddhas such as Lujana Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, Medicine Buddha Liuli, One Golden Wheel Buddha, and Huanxi Buddha led the Huineng Bodhisattva, Nagarjuna Bodhisattva, Deva Bodhisattva, Baoshu Bodhisattva, and the Eight Heavenly Dragons Guangli Bodhisattva, etc., from the sky.

In the light of the Buddha in the sky, the major Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, leading their disciples, came together, before the seven-layer floating Buddha, the world is boundless, the Pure Land of Suva, 48,000 Zen masters, bhikshus, Upasa, Upasa, holy monks, among the Pure Land, the great gods, Ding Jia, Gong Cao, and Garan, all of them recited Amitabha Buddha in unison, waiting for the Buddha's summons.

All Buddhas, bodhisattvas, arhats, etc., recited the Prajna Heart Sutra in unison, and the Sanskrit sang the Buddha's sound, which resounded throughout the central world.

"Welcome to my Buddha Shakyamuni!"

In this Buddha's voice full of awe and worship, the entire central world seemed to freeze at this moment, and then, a round of golden sun that exuded dazzling light rose on the top of the seven-layer floating temple, and the light shone on the entire world of the Pure Land.

And in the golden light in the sky, a golden Buddha appeared out of thin air at the top of the floating temple.

Behind the golden Buddha, there is a flame out of thin air, the flame swept thousands of feet high in the sky, in the bursting flame light, there are five Ming kings standing in it, or angry eyes, or majestic and mysterious.

The Buddha has anger and turns into the Ming King, they are born of the Buddha's evil thoughts, and they are also the main combat power of the Buddha to suppress all foreign enemies.

"Meet the Buddha!"

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas folded their hands again and performed the Buddha salute, and after the Buddha smiled and nodded, everyone took their seats in front of the seven-layer floating temple, waiting for the Buddha's next decree.

Shakyamuni Nyorai said: "Since the establishment of my Mahayana Buddhism and the creation of the Central Pure Land, although you have made meritorious contributions in protecting Buddhism, Buddhism is still only a small path in the world of immortals. ”

"I want to start a plan to travel to the west to learn scriptures, who of you is willing to be reincarnated in Dongsheng Shenzhou and be the one who learns the scriptures?"

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were silent for a while, and no one answered for the time being.

The matter of learning the scriptures is a major event, and if it is completed, the Buddha will definitely reward it.

But this matter cannot be easily decided, after all, reincarnation is unpredictable, and after reincarnation, the original self is extinguished, the new self is born, and the self will no longer be oneself, and the trade-off is extremely difficult to decide.

"Dare to ask the Buddha, my great success in the spread of Buddhism to the east is a major event involving luck, does the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court agree to this matter?" a Bodhisattva asked aloud.

"The spread of Buddhism to the east is what the Emperor of Heaven and I agreed upon when the Earth Immortal Realm was established, and the Emperor of Heaven has agreed to this matter and will not obstruct it!" said the Buddha with a smile.

"That's good!" the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas nodded and smiled.

"Dare to ask the Buddha, what are the requirements of those who don't know how to learn the scriptures?" asked a golden-bodied Arhat.

"Those who learn from the scriptures must have the bodhisattva status and have the great love of being willing to give up their true self and purify all sentient beings......

As soon as this request came out, the scene fell into stagnation again, and the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and even Arhats and Bhikshus, one by one, lived well in this central world, and wanted them to give up their current status and even self-sacrifice to become those who learned the scriptures, and there were really few people who had such great perseverance.

He knows that even a Buddha cannot be without desires, but as long as the benefits are sufficient, he believes that there will be bodhisattvas willing to take on this task.

"After learning the scriptures to perfection, after the Dharma is transmitted to the east, you can get the Buddha's fruition!"

Sure enough, as soon as the Buddha's words came out, there were many Bodhisattvas who were tempted, and the road to promotion of Buddhism was very difficult.

The Buddha not only represents the position of power, but also represents the recognition of the central world, with the Buddha's position, in this central world is the immortal and immortal existence, unless the world is destroyed, otherwise even if the power of the Taiyi realm comes, it cannot make a Buddha disappear.

This temptation of Buddhahood is something that few bodhisattvas can resist.

Sure enough, under the promise of the Buddha, the Buddha's position, except for the Buddha's great disciples Guanyin Bodhisattva and Jizo Bodhisattva, the other Bodhisattvas were hardly unmoved.

Even Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of the Buddha, was also excited, and he had a posture of self-recommendation.

The two Venerable Ananda Leaves, who were guarding the central world of the Pure Land, also looked up at the Buddha expectantly, their eyes full of yearning.

Compared to the immortal and immortal Buddha, who wants to be a gatekeeper for the rest of his life?

Even if you will lose your true self after reincarnation, and the experience of this life can only become the memory of the next life after awakening, but even so, the temptation of becoming a Buddha is enough for people to let go of everything and fight.

The competition for people to learn the scriptures is extremely fierce, and this time the Bodhisattvas who came to the central world are no less than 10,000 people.

In the end, it was the second disciple of the Buddha, Jin Chanzi, who was more in line with the Buddha's heart to learn the scriptures, and got this place.

The bodhisattvas are helpless, after all, whether it is Buddhism cultivation or status, the conditions of the golden cicada are indeed higher than them, and the identity of the Buddha's personal disciple alone is enough to suppress everyone.

"The candidates for learning from the scriptures are set, and next, you need to choose three protectors in the Three Realms, you can speak freely and recommend candidates!"

Journey to the West is a big event, even if it is the Buddha, do not dare to slack off, although it has been agreed with Emperor Gou Chen, choose a demon king as the protector, but the process should still go through again, try to let all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas participate, so as not to make everyone work in the future and delay the big event.
