43. In the White Horse Temple, cause and effect are discussed, and Tongji determines the Jizo theory
Southwest, White Horse Temple, according to the mountain situation, a jade belt river slowly down from the left hand side, the temple covers an area of nearly more than 100 acres, the green mountains and green trees come from bursts of Sanskrit sound, from the sky overlooked, the whole White Horse Temple is shrouded in the light of the Buddha, the believers who come and go to worship are endless.
In the meditation hall, the four old monks sat there quietly with their eyes lowered, silently performing Xuangong. From the light in their eyes from time to time, it can be seen that they are not settled, but their minds are racing.
After a while, a kind old monk opened his eyes and said softly: "Huikong, you are dead." β
As soon as he spoke, he opened the conversation, only to hear another thin and withered old monk say slowly: "The next host is going to be changed." β
The big-eared monk sighed: "The demon who killed Huikong is still at large." β
The last solemn monk shook his head: "In the end, it is cause and effect, and you can't escape reincarnation." Huikong is dead, not good at learning, and naΓ―ve in heart. "
"If I don't pursue it, I am afraid that I will fall into the name of my White Horse Temple, and the jokes of the righteous way will also make the demons arrogant. β
The big-eared monk said angrily, the voice was loud, and between the words, there were ten thousand Buddha lights floating behind his head, and an angry-eyed King Kong statue loomed in the golden light.
"Theorem, Hugh is guilty of resentment. It is also the cause and effect of wisdom. The kind-eyed old monk snorted lightly, shook his head and recited two sentences of 'Amitabha'.
The theorem was a soft cry for the old monk, slowly calmed down, the Buddha light behind him gradually faded, the whole person settled, and praised the Buddha in his mouth again and again.
The kind-eyed old monk sighed lightly and said slowly: "The Buddha said that the reincarnation of cause and effect, then it is destined to be the reincarnation of cause and effect. But, my Buddha Gate is majestic, how can it be lightly violated by the evil demons?"
"Now the evil demons of the outer way are rampant and abnormal, the day before yesterday, there was an empty little monk of the Western Regions Dashangjue Temple who was destroyed by the demon sect Du Aotian to destroy the foundation, tossed and turned, and suffered a lot of sorrow before he had to return to the Dashangjue Temple. Now there is Huikong, who is victimized by the treacherous schemes of the Demon Sect. The big-eared monk sighed lightly, and the rosary in his hand unconsciously twisted a few times.
The theorem monk nodded when he heard this:
"On the occasion of this eventful autumn, I hope that the host can focus on the great cause of Buddhism. The Buddha has clouds, and he uses thunderbolts to show compassion. If I don't invite the Dharma Protector Veda to sweep out the traitors at this moment, I am afraid that my Buddha will never have peace. β
The solemn monk sighed lightly and said slowly: "Amitabha, when is the time for retribution?"
"A drink and a peck, all are predetermined. Tossing and turning is cause and effect. That's it, let's put it down for now. The old monk with kind eyebrows and kind eyes had a sad face, and recited the Buddha name in a long voice.
At this moment, outside the meditation room, a burst of precious light surrounded the teleportation array of the White Horse Temple, and after a while, a little Shani said cautiously: "Master, Master Tongji of the Great Shangjue Temple is visiting. β
The four old monks glanced at each other, and the centering host nodded: "Please!"
After a while, I saw an old monk wearing a robe slowly walking into the meditation room. The monk was no more than five feet tall, thin and withered, with wrinkles on his face, and seemed to be drooping and old. If it weren't for the golden light that crossed his eyes from time to time, I'm afraid that nine out of ten people would think that he was just an ordinary monk. I saw him put his hands together and bow down:
"Amitabha, Tongji of Dashangjue Temple, I have seen all Zen masters. β
"Master, please take a seat, An Hui, and serve tea. The kind-eyed old monk said, and then turned to Master Tongji: "I don't know why Master went to our temple?"
"Amitabha, the poor monk didn't say anything, so he told the truth about the matter. A haze flashed in Master Tongji's eyes, and at this moment, it seemed that the folds on his face were filled with deep sorrow, and the little Shani Anhui, who came from the tea, couldn't help but cry just by looking at that Tongji, as if he remembered something sad.
When he looked at it in his eyes, he was shocked in his heart, and when he had reached such a state of meditation, he naturally understood that Venerable Tongji was not targeting anyone, and this was just a trace of Zen unintentionally released. Unintentionally influencing other people's feelings, this cultivation is definitely worthy of attention! So he sang a Buddha horn and said in a loud voice: "Amitabha, Master, please speak." β
This Buddha horn was like a thunderbolt, waking up the little monk An Hui from his sorrow. The little monk's face turned red, put down the tea, and retreated respectfully.
Master Tongji seemed to be aware of this, showing a hint of apology, and then said:
"Recently, the Demon Dao has been rampant, although it is confined to the north, it does not follow the boundaries set the day before yesterday, and the masters of the sect frequently haunt the boundary of the two gates of my Buddhism and Dao. The day before yesterday, the demon sect Du Aotian destroyed the empty foundation of the apprentice in the Jianning Mansion of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and performed the soul searching magic skill, and I don't know if my Buddhist classics were leaked. β
"Amitabha, good, good. "The theorem is high and the Buddha is called, and his face is full of sorrow.
Master Tongji made up his mind, and then said: "The poor monk was shocked to hear that the death of Zen Master Huikong of your temple the day before yesterday was also from the hands of those evil demons and foreign Taoists, so I wanted to join forces with the two families to eliminate the demons and defend the Dao, which can be regarded as defending the "Treaty of Runan" that was made hundreds of years ago. β
"The Treaty of Runan was signed by the three schools of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism and the Demon Sect. Without the permission of the other two, I'll wait ......," he shook his head and sighed softly.
Venerable Tongji shook his head and pronounced the Buddha's name, his face full of sorrow:
"As the saying goes, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different. My Buddhism is now prosperous, and six or seven out of ten mortals worship the Three Treasures, so how can the two religions of Confucianism and Taoism be willing? And how can they really help me? The meaning of the poor monk is to only get rid of the first evil, and with the boundless magic power of my Buddhism, the two evil demons of Du Aotian and Lin Haoyu will be eliminated, so as to avenge the Huikong Zen Master and the little disciple Kongse, and by the way, also deter Xiaoxiao, and reveal the majesty of Buddhism!"
The people here are all masters of Buddhism, so there are no taboos in the secret conversation. As soon as Master Tongji spoke, the four Zen masters also nodded yes.
I only heard the slightly hot-tempered theorem Zen master asked in a deep voice: "Since the master is here, he must have made up his mind, so why don't you say it and refer to the four of us?"
The kind-eyed old monk also nodded, and said: "At that time, it was agreed that all the seniors above the Yuan Infant Stage on both sides would return to that place to cultivate. Therefore, in this mortal world, there is only the existence of the knot period of you and me. And according to the agreement, if we and others take it personally...... The combination of good and evil is not far off. β
Master Tongji was silent, and after a while, he slowly spoke:
"When Zen Master Huikong passed away, he was already in the middle stage of liquidation, and although I don't know what kind of conspiracy and tricks those demons used, I can no longer send my backbone disciples to test it. But the Dharma is boundless, how can we, as well as the Three Jewels, do such things that go straight to the conclusion and blatantly take action? The poor monks have all over the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the Dashangjue Temple, and they have sought one of the Dharma in an ancient book, which is to use the supreme power of the Buddha and Bodhisattva to use cause and effect as the line to send people into reincarnation thousands of miles apart!"
When the theorem Zen master heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said in a loud voice:
"My Buddha is merciful, Dashangjue Temple is worthy of being a thousand-year-old temple in the Western Regions, with a long heritage and profound heritage, but this method also asks the master to explain it in detail. If there is such great supernatural power and great mana, I think my Buddhism will definitely be able to go to the next level!"
This is true, Buddhism, regardless of sect or lineage, is one and the same. As long as one school of Buddhism is profitable, then the rest can definitely be stained with three points of oil and water. Just looking at the earthly sect of Buddhism in the mortal world today, although the saying "often recite my Buddha's treasure number can be reborn in bliss" is a bit absurd, but it can't stand the believers who don't understand it, and they rush to it. If it weren't for the fact that this earthly sect became great in the mundane world, how could there be the status quo of monks receiving infinite courtesies whenever they pass through one place?
The Tongji Master laughed and said:
"I think that in the "Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra", it was said, 'If there are sentient beings who come out of the body and blood of the Buddha, slander the Three Jewels, and do not respect the Sutra, they should also fall into the infernal hell, and they should seek an infinite period of time. If there are sentient beings who infringe on the permanent residence, defile the monks and nuns, or engage in private deeds**, or kill or harm, such a generation, they should fall into the infernal hell, and they will be eons for thousands of eons, and they will seek an indefinite period. 'Think of this "Jizo Bodhisattva Honwish Sutra" ......"
Which of those four old monks is not proficient in Buddhism and Zen?
"Thinking that Du Aotian and others, bullying the Buddha, slandering the Three Jewels, and even killing, wouldn't it be a great violation of such a precept? The Jizo Bodhisattva once made a great vow, 'Hell is not empty, and the vow is not a Buddha', this mana is inferior even to ordinary Buddhas, and this "Jizo Bodhisattva Wish Sutra" is made by the Bodhisattva's vow, and the magic power and even the karmic wish power are naturally boundless. If we induce the bodhisattva's wish......"
"Then Du Aotian's generation, it's just up and down in the liquid stage, what is there to fear? If it triggers the Bodhisattva's wish power, even the thirteen evil stars in the Demon Gate will also be overturned in an instant!" Master Tongji sneered, and suddenly, the faces of the old monks present looked better.
The five old monks chanted the Buddha's horn in unison, and the Buddha's light in their eyes shot out more than a foot long, and then they looked at each other and laughed, shouting in unison: "By thunderbolt, show compassion! My Buddha is compassionate!"
After shouting this, the Zen Master said softly: "If this is the case, it is not a violation of our rules. It's just that this method that triggers the bodhisattva's cause and effect, and imposes karma on the human body, these are just their cause and effect, and they don't count as our violation, we just take advantage of the situation to complete the moment......"
"The poor monk has been prepared. Venerable Tongji smiled and took out a scroll that he had with him, "Here is a record of how to induce the power of wishes and add karma to the human body to obtain the Dharma. All you need to do is to take the things related to the emptiness of the Zen Master Huikong and the disciples as sacrifices, and recite the "Dizo Bodhisattva Sutra", supplemented by the method of going straight to the underworld and reaching the underworld. My Buddhism is compassionate and has thousands of ghosts, this psychic method, not to mention a big handful, is it almost the same?"
The thin and withered monk nodded: "Then make a water and land dojo of 9981 people for 7749 days to attract this bodhisattva's wishing power." Old monk, willing to join in as a presiding person, in the Dashangjue Temple, there is Master Tongji leading, how about it?"
Master Tongji nodded and said, "Dingkong Zen Master is quick to talk, which is the meaning of the poor monk. It's just these ninety-nine eighty-one people......"
"I'm a White Horse Temple, this is a mortal enemy. I will send fifty people from the White Horse Temple. The Zen Master said softly, "If Master Tongji has no objections, please return to the Dashangjue Temple and bring the people selected from the temple, this matter should not be delayed." β
Master Tongji nodded yes, stood up, said "Farewell to the poor monk", got up a few steps, and a lotus futon held up Tongji and walked out of the meditation hall......
