Lingshan, Leiyin Temple in the Daxiong Treasure Hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Sitting on the throne of the Buddha, the shape of the Nestle hijab is always so different, and the Gāṣṇa and Ananda serve him at his side, and today, there are only three of them in the main hall.

If there were no major events in Buddhism, the Eight Bodhisattvas, the Four Vajras, the Five Hundred Arhats, the Three Thousand Truths, and all the bhikshus would not have gathered here.

Suddenly, Rulai sighed softly and asked the two people on the side: "Recently, there have been rumors at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, do you think this matter is true or false?"

Hearing this, Ka Ye was silent, he believed in doing more things and talking less, Ananda looked at Rulai's face cautiously, and said in a low voice: "When the rumors first started, the disciple went to the sacrificial country to check and found out... The Buddha treasure relics are indeed gone. ”

Rulai's face was as usual, and he asked, "Ananda, who do you think did this?"

Ananda was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Rulai to ask this question. However, he has been staying by Rulai's side for a long time, and naturally knows what to say and what not to say, so he replied: "The disciple is ignorant, I don't know who did it, and I ask the Buddha to make it clear." ”

Hearing this, Rulai laughed, "Some people like to be smart, but in fact they are confused, and some people look stupid on the surface, but in fact they hide their wisdom in their hearts." Ananda, don't you say?"

"What the Buddha said is very true. After pondering for a while, Ananda said thoughtfully: "Could it be that the Buddha thought that the theft of the relics was done by a young man, and the purpose of his rumors was to provoke a war between us and Taoism?"

Rulai said: "It must be so, but I don't know who this person is?"

"No matter who this person is, since his thoughts have been seen through by the Buddha's discernment, then his conspiracy will have nothing to hide. ”

Otherwise, this conspiracy may seem simple, but in fact the stakes are very high. Speaking of this, Rulai couldn't help but sigh, feeling that the matter was extremely tricky, if it was not handled well, then the plan that he had worked hard to plan for many years to learn the scriptures was likely to die unfortunately, and Buddhism would forever lose the opportunity to develop and grow.

Ananda asked puzzledly, "Isn't it a contradiction for the Buddha to say that it is simple, but also to say that the other party's strategy is powerful?"

He was very strange in his heart, the consequence of the theft of the relics of the sacrificial country was at most that the rule of Buddhism in this country was greatly weakened, but there were many Western countries, and there were not a few people who believed in Buddhism, even if they lost the support of a sacrificial country, this would not have a great impact on the reputation of Buddhism.

I don't understand why Rulai is troubled by such a trivial matter, in Ananda's heart, Rulai has always been wise and wise, and everything is planned and then moved; for example, hundreds of years ago, with the help of Sun Wukong's general trend of making trouble in the heavenly palace, he ascended to the position of Buddha in one fell swoop, and he presided over the "Yu Lan Meeting" once every three hundred years, which is a Western event, and it is not much inferior to the Queen Mother's Pan Tao Conference.

If he shook his head and said nothing, how could Ananda know his difficulties, although Ananda was smart, but because of his limited knowledge, he could only see some simple problems, and could not go deep into them to analyze the benefits and disadvantages.

The theft of the relics was a trivial matter, but it spread at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, and it evolved into a big event, especially when it was passed to the Jade Emperor, which became a secret assessment of himself, and if he wanted to continue to gain his support, he needed to start a war with Taoism to show a clear attitude.

However, the internal contradictions of Buddhism have not been well resolved, although under their own strong suppression, on the surface it seems to be calm, but secretly it is already a turbulent undercurrent. At this juncture, it is very unwise to start a war with Taoism, not to mention the huge strength of Taoism, it is difficult to get half a cent of bargaining for oneself rashly, if in the process of starting a war, once something happens, it is very likely to affect the whole body, and even lead to the entire Buddhism to be torn apart, and once again return to the chaotic situation of hundreds of years of no leadership, which is the result that I never want to see.

After thinking about it for a long time, it was still difficult to make a decision, and he secretly thought in his heart: "If you don't start a war with Taoism, it will inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of the Jade Emperor, and if you offend him, the overall plan to learn from the scriptures is not feasible." It is necessary to know that the territory of Xiniu Hezhou is intricately intertwined, including Taoism, the Jade Emperor, and the internal personnel of Buddhism, these forces are entangled and twisted together, forming a force that makes people feel a headache. ”

Originally, in Rulai's original idea, with the support of the Jade Emperor led by Heavenly Court, with the cooperation of the two forces, even if Taoism intervened, it would not be able to stop the scripture learning plan. In this way, the plan to learn the scriptures can be carried out smoothly, and at that time, as long as the people who learn the scriptures have completed the journey, the local separatist forces will be uprooted by them, and they can not only destroy those monsters who are wanton and reckless in their own territory, but also attack the masters behind them, and at the same time restore the Western Elysium, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

However, the sudden change disrupted Rulai's plan, and he was a little caught off guard and had to rearrange it.

After pondering for a long time, Rulai instructed Jiaye: "You go to Heavenly Court, let Tai Bai Xing come to Lingshan, go quickly!"

Ka Ye was ordered to leave the Mahavira Treasure Hall, "What does the Buddha need his disciples to do?"

"You pass on my decree and invite the four great vajra to come here secretly to discuss matters, remember, this matter must not be known to the bodhisattvas. "If you are a little worried, don't forget to explain. Because he, the Buddha, was sealed by the Jade Emperor and did not sit on it by his true ability, there were many people in Buddhism who were dissatisfied with him, and the people with the greatest opinions were among the eight Bodhisattvas.

"Yes!"

Ananda nodded thoughtfully, and waited by Rulai's side for a long time, he naturally saw some of the current problems in Buddhism, and also understood Rulai's suspicion of several Bodhisattvas, and even some fear. Ananda could understand that, in other words, he had this concern.

After all, the strength of several Bodhisattvas is not bad, and the Guanyin Bodhisattva who lives in the South China Sea is one of the best, this Bodhisattva is not only powerful, but also the ability to make friends is even more staggering, not only with Manjushri, Fuxian, Lishan Laomu The relationship is very good, but also with the Taishang Laojun, the Jade Emperor This kind of big man is not shallow, if this matter is known to her, there may be an unexpected mess.

As soon as Ananda left, Rulai's soft, benevolent gaze gradually drowned in the cold, and the plan to learn from the scriptures was planned by him, and he would never allow half of the chaos, and if anyone dared to stop it, he would have to pay the price of his life.

Since sitting on the throne of the Buddha who has been thinking about it for a long time, he has found that many things are involuntarily, and he has always been walking on thin ice in his actions, for fear that his decision-making is not mature enough, and Buddhism will fall into a state of no return. Buddhism is not as good as Taoism, and although Taoism is said to be ununited and unable to unite with the outside world, it has a solid foundation and can withstand tossing; Buddhism is not as good as the Heavenly Court, which has a cadre team and a sound system, and the Jade Emperor has the immortal resources of the peach in hand, and there are many dependent forces, so it is not easy to give birth to chaos.

Buddhism was formally established since Laojun turned Hu into Buddha thousands of years ago, and its development time is still short, and it has not yet completely taken root in the territory of Xiniuhezhou. Buddhism at this time was like a small tree that was growing, and although it looked luxuriant, it could not withstand the destruction of a storm.

As a Buddha, what you have to do is to ensure that this small tree grows quickly in a good environment and grows into a towering tree, so that it can calmly cope with all disasters.
