In the Tang calendar, in the autumn of the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Master Xuanzang went through a lot of hardships and finally came to Lingshan in the west from the Tang Dynasty in the east. If the Buddha set up the Bon Festival, he invited a wide range of supernatural powers. At this time, there were four royals, five elders, six divisions, seven yuan, eight poles, nine yao, ten capitals, and thousands of true saints, rushed to the meeting.

Sanqing also said that Taiqingtian came to Xuandu ** Master, Yuqingtian came to Yunzhongzi, Shangqingtian came to Duobao Daoren, Zhuzhen sat down, and there were monks and bhikshunis offering immortal tea and immortal dates. The Buddha opened his mouth slightly, performed **, preached the positive fruit, and talked about the three wonderful scriptures, and the five aggregates were strict. But I saw that the dragon was around the same day, and the flowers and rain were colorful. Exactly: "The Zen heart shines on thousands of rivers and months, and the true surname contains thousands of miles of heaven." ”

After the Buddha spoke, let the golden cicada step forward and see the truth, but saw that he was round with four virtues, full of wisdom, with a golden body, a silk bead, and a treasure of incense rings. When Zhu Zhen saw it, they all praised: "What a future Buddha, worthy of being a disciple of the Buddha!" The Buddha ordered Guanyin Bodhisattva to step forward and asked: "Tang Seng and the four people have gone through many hardships along the way?"

Thousands of immortals have stretched their ears and listened carefully, the rules of this difficult scripture are the agreement between the Taoist ancestor Taishang Laojun and the Buddha, representing the trend of the Taoist Buddha and the Buddha, if the Buddhists spread many scriptures to the east, the Taoist gate is bound to decline, after all, this Mahayana Buddhist scripture has a great attraction to mortals, and these immortals have to pay attention.

Guanyin Bodhisattva said respectfully: "Returning to my Buddha, Mengchagong Cao took refuge, remember that Tang Seng is difficult to count: the first difficulty of the golden cicada being degraded, the second difficulty of several killings of the womb, the third difficulty of throwing the river at the full moon, the fourth difficulty of finding relatives and revenge, the fifth difficulty of going out of the city and meeting the tiger, the sixth difficulty of falling into the pit, the seventh difficulty on the Shuangjiao Ridge, the eighth difficulty of the two realms of mountains, the ninth difficulty of changing horses in a steep stream, the tenth difficulty of being burned at night, the eleventh difficulty of losing the robe, the twelve difficulties of crossing the quicksand river, the thirteen difficulties of the Ten Thousand Immortal Conference, the fourteen difficulties of the sea of fire, and the fifteen difficulties of Lingyundu's rebirth. One difficulty, one scripture, a total of fifteen volumes of scriptures. ”

When Duobao Dao heard this, he sneered: "Master Guanyin's words are wrong. A difficult time, it is a difficult time on the road to the west sky, the golden cicada was degraded, the fetus was killed, the full moon threw the river, and the search for relatives and revenge were all children's work, what does it have to do with learning from the west sky?"

Yun Zhongzi also smiled: "The Bodhisattva's arithmetic is wrong. It is a dilemma to be burned by fire at night and to lose the robe, and how to get to the mouth of the Bodhisattva becomes a dilemma? In addition, Zhu Bazu controls the quicksand river, and when the holy monk crosses the river, there are monsters who form an 800-mile pontoon bridge, and every 10 miles they serve delicious food and treat them hobbyly, which is not a difficulty. Zhu Ba Ancestor set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference, not to embarrass the holy monk, but their own monster own affairs, how can it be regarded as a difficulty? The sea of fire has never hurt the holy monk at all, and it is not a difficult problem to be extinguished by Kui Niu under the seat of the Shangqing Sage. In this way, "

Duobao Daoren and Yun Zhongzi looked at each other and smiled, and they actually felt a sense of sympathy, and laughed in unison: "On this road to the West Heaven, there are only six difficulties! ”

As soon as this statement came out, not only the gods and Buddhas changed color, but the Buddha did not have a good face, and the Journey to the West was arranged for more than 2,000 years, which was to pass on all the Buddhist scriptures to the east and squeeze out the Daomen, and now it was made a pig demon to make a fuss, and it turned the original scheduled ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties into six difficulties, and eighty-one volumes of scriptures into six volumes of scriptures, how could the Buddhas not be angry?

Master Guanyin caught a glimpse of all the immortals laughing secretly, and changed color and said, "Brother Dao's words are wrong. The birth of the golden cicada X, although the person is not on the West Heaven Road, the heart is already on the road, and the twists and turns experienced when he was a child, which can be regarded as a difficulty. When passing through the Black Wind Mountain, the night fire had nothing to do with the loss of the robe, so it was a dilemma. When passing through the quicksand river, although Zhu Ba Ancestor was hospitable and hospitable, the golden cicada was frightened and fearful, which could be regarded as a difficulty. Zhu Ba Ancestor gathered 100,000 demons in Xiniu Hezhou and set up a conference of ten thousand immortals, which led to the death and injury of countless demon clans, and made the golden cicada feel compassion again, which can be regarded as a difficulty. The King of Fudo Ming dropped thousands of miles of fire, and the golden cicada escaped in the fire, which can be regarded as a difficulty. ”

Yun Zhongzi and Duobao Dao people both sneered, and were about to refute it, but Master Xuandu said with a smile: "Two junior brothers, why should you have the same knowledge as him? He said that fifteen volumes of true scriptures are fifteen volumes of true scriptures, so what does it matter if he is allowed to have eighty-one volumes of true scriptures? Humble and courteous, in order to show my Eastern Tudao Sect's magnanimity. ”

Yun Zhongzi and Duobao Daoist no longer argued, and said with a smile: "As the monk said, the holy monk fell when he was a child, which can also be regarded as a difficulty, that's it, it's just that!

When all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas heard this, they were all ashamed, but Guanyin Dashi's face remained unchanged, and he instructed Jin Chanzi to take fifteen volumes of scriptures and go to the east to preach.

Duobao Daoist looked at the faces of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Vajra, Venerables, Arhats and others for a week, saw many familiar faces, and sneered: "The Buddhist family has fifteen volumes of scriptures, but unfortunately there are no blessed people, when the gods are listed, they are all fish and meat on the list, pitiful, pitiful!"

Yun Zhongzi also smiled and looked at the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas for a week, shook his head and smiled: "It's a pity, it's a pity." Everyone, cherish!" drove an auspicious cloud and floated away.

The gods and immortals of the Heavenly Court also stood up and said goodbye, as if hiding from the plague. Only the Xuandu ** master stayed at the end, took out two vermilion invitations from his sleeve, handed them to Venerable Ananda, and said to the Buddha: "My lord invited the Buddha to go to the Taiqing Tianxuandu Yujing Bajing Palace to discuss the matter of sealing the gods, there are Shangqing saints, Yuqing saints, Nuwa Niangniang and other saints to go to the grand event, the Buddha is busy with the journey to the west, if you see Amitabha, please go with him." ”

After the Xuandu ** master said, he bowed to the Buddha and quietly left, leaving only the heavenly gods and Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, King Kong, Ming Wang, Venerables, and Arhats looking at each other, all of whom saw fear in each other's eyes.

The last time he was a god, a big battle wiped out the Ten Thousand Immortals of the Sect, and there were as many as 90,000 people on the list, not including the disciples of other sects, and it was the tragedy of the cultivators!

This time, I want to be a god again, and I don't know which sect is on the list of gods? The number of explanators is scarce. The number of students who intercepted the religion was scarce. Among the four religions, there is only Buddhism, and there are many disciples, is it possible that Buddhism is really about to come to a great disaster?

The disciples of Buddhism, but there is a danger, so they said: "The gods and Buddhas bless!" Now that the gods and Buddhas are in trouble, who will protect them?

The clouds on the Lingshan are gloomy, and the good Menglan Bon will almost become a mourning meeting, and if you don't see the slightest smile, even the Maitreya Buddha who is always smiling is also worried in her heart, and secretly looks at the face of the Buddha.

The Buddha was silent for a long time, then suddenly got up from the throne and said to Guanyin Master: "You continue to preside over the assembly and go to the West for the teacher." "All the gods and Buddhas were slightly stunned, this is the west, and further west is the Jiuzhou enchantment, what did the Buddha do when he went to the outer place?

The ancient Buddha and the others suddenly remembered something, and immediately put their hearts at ease, smiled, recited the Buddha's name, and said:

"Nam no Amitabha!";
