However, it was said that Lao Tzu received Changmei as a disciple at Hangu Pass, and then he went on the road again with the Burning Lamp Daoist. The two traveled all the way, and when they arrived at Tianzhu, Lao Tzu said, "Let's go here." ”

When the lantern Taoist heard this, he stopped, turned to Lao Tzu, and said, "Disciple obeys the order." ”

Lao Tzu nodded, and then took out a white circle from his arms, threw it in the air, and opened a portal, leading directly to the Netherworld Blood Sea, six reincarnations. However, it is said that the last time the Four Saints shattered the desolation, only this Netherworld Blood Sea and the six reincarnations have not been robbed, and they have not been damaged so far.

At that moment, Lao Tzu cast a spell to throw the Burning Lamp Daoist into the six realms of reincarnation, and then breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, I saw immeasurable merit and golden light descending from the sky, but it was the way of heaven that felt Lao Tzu turn into a beard and descend merit. Lao Tzu thought about it for a while, and then refined all these merits into the diamond bracelet, and then saw that the diamond bracelet faintly revealed the spirit of merit, but it became a merit spiritual treasure, and the magic was endless.

But it is said that there is a country in the land of Tianzhu, which is for the defense of Tianjialuo. At night, the princess of the king of pure rice dreamed of a white elephant with six tusks and a white lotus flower in its mouth, and came by the clouds to stay in the womb of the queen of the queen of Garaowe, Lady Maya. After Mrs. Maya dreamed of six tusks and white elephants in the womb, she was pregnant, and after the birth of October, according to the local customs, Mrs. Maya returned to her mother's home Tianjian City to give birth, and many guards escorted her departure.

When we arrived at the Lumbini Garden, we saw that the woods were in full bloom, and all the scenery was extremely pure, special and beautiful, and when Lady Maya held the branches and leaves of the Carefree Tree, the Lamp Keeper was born from the right flank of Lady Maya without any pain.

When the lantern is born, all kinds of special and wonderful appearances and auspicious signs are generated, the earth has six kinds of auspicious vibrations, the emperor Brahma appears in various incarnations, guarding the surroundings, the heavenly maidens scatter flowers, the heavens are solemn with heavenly happiness, and bathe the Buddha body with special and wonderful sweetness, and the heavens bathe the Buddha's body with special and wonderful sweetness, which is the origin of the Buddha bathing puja in later generations.

After the birth of the lantern Taoist people, immediately in the east, west, north and south of the four directions each walk seven steps, each step, the earth is the emergence of Baolian to undertake the Buddha's feet; the lantern Taoist pointed to the sky, the other pointed to the ground, said: "Heaven and the world, I am the only one; the three worlds are suffering, I should be at peace." "All of a sudden, the heavens and the earth shook.

After the birth of the Burning Lantern Daoist, he became the prince of the Pila Kingdom, and was called Prince Sita, also known as Brahmanpazang. Lady Maya, the queen, died seven days after the birth of Prince Sita, who was carefully cared for and raised by his aunt, Lady Mo**ti. Prince Sita was gifted and intelligent, and at a young age, he was able to reach the Five Masters and Four Buddhas, and his appearance was magnificent, with 32 appearances and 80 kinds of goodness, which no one could match. At the age of seventeen, she married her cousin Yajendhara as a concubine and gave birth to a son, Luo.

When he was nineteen years old, Prince Sita left the palace at night, stripped himself of his clothes, and fell into the sand gate. The prince came to the Nilian Zen River to bathe and receive the offering of the shepherdess's chyle, to the village of Gaya, under the Biluo tree, with auspicious grass to the throne, to the east to sit on the knees, after entering the meditation for 49 days, at the dawn of December 8, there is the Western Buddha Amitabha Buddha came to confer the Buddha seal, and suddenly realized. To achieve "supreme enlightenment", the world respectfully calls "Buddha", which means enlightened. Buddha name "Ancient Buddha".

After the lantern Taoist became a Buddha, he had an epiphany and understood his predecessor.

At this moment, Lao Tzu appeared again to meet the burning lamp. At that moment, I saw Lao Tzu take out a picture from his arms, embroider the inside and outside, the treasure light bursts, and said to the lamp: "You are about to become a Buddha, based on this, there is no one in the world who burns the lamp." After a pause, he continued: "This is the imitation of the Taiji diagram refined by the poor Tao, which is very mysterious, you will establish a religion, and this treasure will be used as a thing for your teaching." With that, he handed out the Qiankun map.

Seeing this, the person who burned the lamp Dao hurriedly stepped forward to take the Qiankun map, his heart was ecstatic, but he pretended to be helpless on his face, and said, "Disciple, thank you master." After that, the lantern Taoist got up and smiled at Lao Tzu: "The disciple dares to ask the master, what is the Tao?"

Lao Tzu didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Tao is Tao, very Tao." ”

The lantern Taoist said, "What is a Buddha?"

Lao Tzu glanced at the Taoist who lit the lamp, and said lightly: "Buddha is the Tao. ”

Hearing this, the people who lit the lamp Taoist lit up, their eyes lit up, and they said, "Buddha is the Tao. As soon as the words fell, I saw that the three flowers on the head of the lantern Taoist suddenly turned into Buddha light, and the jade ruler on the top instantly turned into a golden-bodied Buddha six feet high, and I saw that the golden height called a Buddha name: "There is no Amitabha Buddha." Suddenly, the sky was full of golden light, and I saw that the Buddha had a thousand hands behind his back, and it was the Buddha with a thousand hands. But it was the Lantern Daoist who took this opportunity to behead another corpse. In this way, within the four sects, the cultivation of the Burning Lamp Daoist is only under the Holy Mother of the Lower Turtle Spirit.

At this moment, a Buddha horn came from a distance.

Burning the lamp and Lao Tzu looked up, and went to see the person's Buddha light burst, surrounded by eight heavenly dragons, but it was Shakyamuni Buddha who arrived.

In less than a moment, Shakyamuni Buddha came to the two of them. Shakyamuni Buddha first bowed slightly to Lao Tzu and said, "The poor monk has seen the Taiqing sage. ”

Lao Tzu glanced at Shakyamuni Buddha, nodded slightly, and did not speak.

Seeing this, Shakyamuni Buddha didn't care, and stepped forward to the lamp and said, "Good! Amitabha Buddha is no Nam! Taoist friends will establish Hinayana Buddhism, and please go to meet the two masters with the poor monk first." ”

Burning the lamp smiled: "There is no Amitabha Buddha, this is exactly the reason. With that, the two saluted Lao Tzu and left together.

Seeing this, Lao Tzu sighed slightly, turned around and rode on the green ox, and it would be too clear.

After Randen and Shakyamuni left, they rushed straight to the Western Heaven Elysium. Both of them are powerful people with high mana, and they crossed mountains and seas, and they arrived in Elysium in a short time. At that moment, the two of them walked towards the main hall. Entering the main hall, I saw Amitabha Buddha and Zhun Ti Buddha's mother closing their eyes and chanting. In the next place, except for Shakyamuni, Maitreya, the only personal disciple, is listening to the two of them preaching.

Seeing this, Randen and Shakyamuni hurriedly stepped forward to worship and said, "The disciple has seen the two sect masters. ”

Zhun Ti smiled: "Don't be polite, get up." ”

The two bowed again, then stood aside.

At this time, Amitabha Buddha said to the burning lamp: "You are now a disciple of my Buddhism, and in the next tribulation of the sage, you can be the leader of my sect and become the ancestor of all Buddhas." I hope to cultivate the fruit of our door diligently, participate in the extinction, attain the realization of Bodhi, and promote the Dharma. ”

Ran Deng originally planned to defect to the West, so naturally he had no objections, and even said: "There is no Amitabha Buddha, and the disciples should obey the order." ”

When Amitabha Buddha saw the lantern answer, he was overjoyed, but he saw that he had sincerely joined the Buddha.

At this time, Randen suddenly said: "The two sect masters, the disciple still has a request, I hope the two sect masters will agree." ”

When Amitabha Buddha heard this, he frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lighting the lamp said: "The disciple is dedicated to seeking the Tao, but he is unwilling to take charge of the great teaching, and my Buddhism has always been in the hands of Shakyamuni Buddha, the disciple is shallow, and he knows nothing about the things in my teaching, I am afraid it will be difficult to be a big responsibility, so Theravada Buddhism is still in charge of Shakyamuni Buddha." ”

Hearing this, Amitabha Buddha glanced at the Buddha Mother Zhun Ti, and saw that the Buddha Mother Zhun Ti nodded with a smile, so he said to the lamp: "That's fine, you will be my Buddha Gate Buddha, and the ancient Buddha will be the lamp." ”

Randen smiled slightly, and said, "There is no ancient Buddha on the lamp." After that, he turned to Shakyamuni Buddha and said, "There is no Shakyamuni Buddha, there is work." ”

Shakyamuni Buddha smiled: "The ancient Buddha who has no burning lamp, since it is the same door, why care?" Shakyamuni Buddha is full of smiles, but he has nothing to do, but he is very obsessed with this right, and he was worried that after the lamp came here, his rights would be allocated by it, and now the lamp automatically retreated, he was naturally overjoyed, and he also greeted the lamp with a smile.

At this moment, the little novice outside the door came to report: "The two masters of Qiqi, the three Taoist friends of Cihang Daoren, Fuxian Zhenren, and Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun ask to see." ”

It turned out that Cihang and the other three had been seeking an opportunity to betray the teachings since they agreed to the invitation of the Buddha's mother, but after Guangchengzi and the three of them beheaded their bodies, the primordial Tianzun was even more interested in the disciples, and wanted to let the disciples come out with a few more quasi-saints, so they kept preaching for everyone day and night. The sage preached, and countless immortals were eager to meet him, but the three of them had different intentions at this time. Therefore, when listening to the sermon, it is like sitting on pins and needles, and there is little to gain for hundreds of years.

Finally, more than 600 years after the Primordial Tianzun preached, it coincided with Lao Tzu preaching in the lower realm with the people of the two sects of Intercept and Buddha. When the Primordial Heavenly Venerable learned of this, he was naturally not to be left behind, and immediately sent out all the people under his sect, intending to snatch the Dao system of the world. When the three of Cihang saw this, their hearts were immediately overjoyed, but they planned to use this opportunity to defect to Western Buddhism.

After the three of them came out of Kunlun Mountain, they did not follow the decree of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and preach in the world, but went all the way to the west and went straight to the Western Spirit Mountain.

At that moment, Amitabha Buddha listened to the words of the little novice, and his heart was strange, I don't know why the three of Cihang are here.

"Could it be that the Primordial Heavenly Venerable has no calculations?" Amitabha Buddha couldn't help but think.

Just when Amitabha Buddha was puzzled, the Zhun Ti Buddha Mother on the side laughed and said, "Okay, okay! When the little novice received the order, he withdrew from the main hall and invited the three of them to go.

As soon as the little novice left, Amitabha Buddha asked the mother of the Buddha, "Why is the junior brother like this?"

Zhun Ti Buddha's mother smiled and said: "Senior brother, this is what the senior brother said before, this Cihang and the three of them have already made an appointment with the junior brother, just when the time comes, they will defect to my Western Buddhism, plus the ancient Buddha who burns the lamp, this time it is double happiness!

Amitabha Buddha heard this, and asked excitedly: "What the senior brother said is true?" If this matter is true, then he Buddhism will frequently add three masters, Cihang and the three have already worshiped under the primordial Tianzun when they were lichs, and they have already had the cultivation of the peak of Da Luo Jinxian, plus he and Zhun Ti Buddha's mother previously realized a set of quick ways to achieve quasi-saints, then Buddhism will produce three more quasi-saints, so that Buddhism will be under the interception of the heavens, and even expected to become the first major religion in the wilderness, which makes Amitabha Buddha not excited?

Not only Amitabha Buddha, but also the ancient Buddha, Shakyamuni Buddha, and Maitreya Buddha on the side were also surprised, and then they were ecstatic. In this way, Buddhism is expected to flourish, and they will naturally have a lot of benefits.

After listening to Amitabha's words, Zhun Ti Buddha's mother glanced at the expressions of several people again, and said with a smile: "Such a big thing, how can the junior brother be fake?"

When Amitabha Buddha heard this, his heart was suddenly overjoyed, and the face of the bitter gourd that had not changed for ten thousand years also showed a smile.

After a while, Xiao Shami brought the three of Cihang into the main hall, and as soon as the three of them entered the main hall, they hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Disciple Cihang (Fuxian, Manjushri) to meet the two sect leaders. ”
