Chapter 308: Western Heavenly Buddha Kingdom
The Deception Mountain Villa is still under construction, and Ye Linfeng will go to the Ruin Palace tomorrow to destroy this great sect of cultivating immortals.
There was no wind in the summer night, Ye Linfeng sat quietly on a flat stone platform in the back mountain, looking at the starry sky, thinking about some questions.
"The Legend of the Western Kingdom" records: There are three bodhisattvas in the western realm who develop Mahayana minds and transform sentient beings, one is called Yunshui, one is called Zen mind, and the other is called Shizijue.
The three of them were like-minded and made a vow together, wishing to be born in the Maitreya Pure Land of the Desire Realm and get close to Maitreya Bodhisattva.
The three of them meet: Whoever dies first and sees Maitreya Bodhisattva must go down to the world and come to report back to prove that he has been born in the inner courtyard of Maitreya.
As a result, the master felt that he died first, and he didn't come to report for several years.
Before the Yunshui Walker passed away, the Zen Heart Walker reminded him that when you see Maitreya Bodhisattva, you must come back and give an answer.
After the Yunshui Walker passed away, he really ascended to heaven, but after three years, he was reborn in the human world and came back to the Zen Mind Walker and said, "I have seen Maitreya Bodhisattva. ”
The Zen Mind Practitioner was full of doubts in his heart, and asked in confusion: "Yunshui, why did you come back to give me an answer after three years?"
Yunshui Walker replied to Zen Mind Practitioner: "I went to the inner courtyard of Tushi, sat down to listen to Maitreya Bodhisattva's teachings, and immediately thought that you and I had an appointment, so I immediately came back to repay him." How do you know that in the blink of an eye in the Western Heavenly Buddha Kingdom, three years have passed in the world!"
The Zen heart practitioner asked the Yunshui practitioner again: "Where is the master Jue today?"
The Yunshui Walker replied: "Master Zijue has been confused by the five desires and pleasures of Tushi Heaven all his life, and has been staying in the outer courtyard of Tushi and entertaining the heavens, and cannot enter the inner courtyard to meet Maitreya Bodhisattva.
Ye Linfeng suddenly remembered such a Buddhist story, and some questions that had been troubled for a long time may have been answered, but another question was born.
There is no way to verify whether Maitreya Bodhisattva really existed in the Oniji Continent before, but in this Buddhist story, the Yunshui walker recorded in the world went to the world to give a reply to the Zen heart walker, which shows that the Buddhists do believe in the afterlife.
Regarding the question of the afterlife, not only troubled Ye Linfeng, but also the Ancient Immortal Dao Venerable.
Almost all his life, he spent his entire life arguing with the Great Zen Master of Xinyin, what are the pros and cons of reincarnation and rebirth.
However, from this Buddhist story, Ye Linfeng found a clue, why Yunshui was able to remember the memories of his previous life after he died, did he use special means? This is a problem that Ye Linfeng was born again.
The ancient Dao Venerable and the Great Zen Master of the Heart Seal, what the two of them are arguing about is not that the Taoist sect emphasizes feathering and ascending, and the Buddhists emphasize nirvana rebirth.
The two of them are only thinking about the practical issues, the discussion about the immortality of their bodies and their gods.
Because, for their time, they still haven't seen immortals, so the feathering ascension of the Daomen and the rebirth of the Buddha's nirvana are all illusory things.
Cheng Xian is still ethereal, but immortality is something that can be actually held in his hand, that is, pseudo-immortality.
Constant rebirth or rebirth in order to attain immortality.
At present, the least that can be proved is that the Holy Confucian Taoist Venerable has been successfully reincarnated, and after rebirth, those who can still remember the memories of their previous lives are reincarnated, and those who cannot remember the memories of their previous lives are reborn.
In this way, both rebirth and rebirth can be successful.
Ye Linfeng figured out these questions, secretly happy in his heart, and before he knew it, it was late at night, the so-called demon can't live if he is not crazy, only by obsessing with this, can he probably achieve results.
It's just another new problem, how to remember the memories of the past life in the past life.
The pursuit of immortality in rebirth is to use the physical body in this life to regain its vitality, while in the afterlife it is to reincarnate in a physical body.
Legend has it that Maitreya is a blessed Buddha in the future, and during the period when he came into the world, the continent of Yuji has undergone many changes, mountains, rivers and stone walls, all of which are self-extinguished, mostly plains, calm seawater, fertile land, and many natural paradises.
All year round, the wind and rain are smooth, the flowers are open, all kinds are harmonious, the products are abundant, the fruits are luscious, and the natural japonica rice is produced, there is no chaff, the taste is fragrant, if it is ripe, it is not cooked, and the people eat longevity, without any suffering.
There is no disaster, and the human heart is a great good, without greed, hatred, ignorance, slowness, suspicion, and no killing, theft, adultery, delusion, alcohol and other bad thoughts, words and deeds.
Everyone knows the wonderful deeds of practicing the purity of the three karma of body, mouth and mind, the hearts of people are equal, there is no distinction, there is no dispute, there is joy when they see each other, they encourage each other with good words, people do all good deeds, there is no bad karma, and there is no worry about eating and drinking.
His clothes do not need to be artificially woven, and the earth grows on the trees, and all kinds of fine and soft clothes will grow on the trees, which can be worn by others;
There are many kinds of treasures on the ground, you can pick them up at hand, people pick up gems in their hands to enjoy, and there are no thieves, it is really a peaceful world.
At that time, although there were several small countries in the world, and only one big country was unified, this big country had long ceased to exist on the continent of Jiji, and this big country was the Western Heaven Buddha country often mentioned in many Buddhist scriptures.
And Maitreya Bodhisattva was the lord of a country in the Western Heaven Buddha Kingdom at that time.
The West Heaven Buddha Country, most of the monks in the country, is a peaceful world, because it originated from the west boundary of the west of the Gang Rock Continent, after the unification of the continent, so it is called the West Heaven Buddha Country.
However, the descriptions of the Western Heavenly Buddha Kingdom in Buddhist scriptures are not the same, and some stories are very vague, but only a little bit of it is known.
On this Gangji continent, there are four million miles of great plains, there are endless tall mountains, four major sea waters, each according to one side, there are many large capitals, five hundred miles from east to west, two hundred and eighty miles from north to south, the land is flat, there are many people, the streets are neat, there is a dragon king named Shuiguang in the air, the night rain is fragrant, and the day is sunny and peaceful.
There was a Rakshasa in the city, named Ye Hua, who appeared in the middle of the night to serve mankind, remove the filth, clean up, and sprinkle perfume all over the ground, which was very fragrant.
The dragon gods and ghosts all work for the humans of the Western Heavenly Buddha Kingdom. The time and place are favorable, the people are harmonious, and the ghosts and gods support it. Without a sword or a cane, it is natural, extremely free, free, and equally happy.
In the end, the Western Heavenly Buddha Kingdom ascended to heaven and became an immortal kingdom above the heavenly court.
Thinking of this, Ye Linfeng paused, if he could really soar across the country, how much strength would it take to do it, only by making himself more powerful and becoming the supreme being in the world, maybe he would have the opportunity to soar with his people.
The legend of the Buddha Kingdom in the West Heaven is recorded in many Buddhist scriptures.
But is this qiē true? Ye Linfeng didn't know.
After all, legends are just legends, and the Western Heaven Buddha Kingdom may really exist in the Continent, but it may not be as peaceful and happy as recorded in the Buddhist scriptures.
Looking at the starry sky, Ye Linfeng had infinite reverie, if there were really immortals in the sky, what kind of terrifying power would they have.
In Ye Linfeng's opinion, he may still be far away from becoming an immortal, but in the future, he can at least go to the third layer of heaven to break through, and the Dao Void Yuan Realm above the third layer of heaven is the residence of the cultivators of the Piyuan Realm, and these cultivators of the Piyuan Realm come from many star fields.
Tomorrow, get up and destroy the Ruin Palace and continue his ambition to dominate!
