Chapter 218: Theravada Buddhism, Golden Cicada
In the Leiyin Temple of Lingshan in the West, the Buddhas are listening to the Buddha explain the Hinayana Buddhism, and they are fascinated by listening to it, and there are many Bodhisattvas and Buddhas who also have a deep understanding of it. The so-called Hinayana Buddhism is self-discipline, and if we can't achieve self-discipline, how can we temper others? Nowadays, Hinayana Buddhism has been propagated all over the world, and it can be regarded as a Buddhist classic. Mortal Buddhism also preaches Hinayana Buddhism, hoping that the world will know how to live in oneself, free oneself from the sea of suffering, and attain bliss as soon as possible! It's a pity that the world is stupid and paranoid in the red dust, although the Hinayana Buddhism is exquisite, but very few mortals can read it, how can they be proficient?
In the final analysis, Hinayana Buddhism cannot make Buddhism prosperous, and if you want to prosper, you have to have Mahayana Buddhism! The so-called Mahayana Buddhism transforms thousands of people, universalizes sentient beings, and leads to bliss. In other words, as long as one person understands Mahayana Buddhism, he can transform his ability to teach sentient beings, lead them to Western bliss, and enjoy endless Dharma baptism.
"Buddha, Avalokiteshvara is 、、、," said the first disciple of the Buddha's side, Ka Ye.
"Well、、、" If you stop explaining Theravada Buddhism, look at the door of Leiyin Temple, only to see Guanyin slowly flying, pale, with a trace of blood, in Buddhism blood is very conspicuous, because Buddhism does not like to kill, if there is flesh, it must be a monk who has committed the killing precept!
"Avalokiteshvara, why is this?" asked Rulai, pinching his fingers and calculating.
"My Buddha is merciful, the poor monk was injured by Guangyun, and I hope the Buddha will save him. Guanyin said piously.
"I think I know what happened, so come here. The Buddha nodded.
Guanyin immediately flew to the Buddha, only to see Rulai stretch out his hand and wave. A golden lotus shrouded Guanyin's head out of thin air, and gray gas actually emerged from the original injured place. was soon absorbed by the golden lotus, and Guanyin's face looked much better. At the same time, the golden lotus also disappeared. This golden lotus is the twelve-grade merit golden lotus, but unfortunately, in the battle of the gods, the twelve-grade merit golden lotus was sucked away by the mosquito Dao people, making the quality of the golden lotus drop to the nine-grade merit golden lotus, despite this. But it has still become the treasure of Buddhism to suppress luck.
"Thank you, Buddha、、、" Guanyin said gratefully.
"Who is so bold that they dare to hurt my Buddhist power?" Ananda hissed first.
"Amitabha, I can't think of the Three Realms. An outlier again, isn't it just a blessing or a curse?"
"Odd numbers?"
"Amitabha Buddha 、、、"
"Buddha, I don't know this anomaly, how should we Buddhism deal with it?" asked Kasya.
"The odd number has a relationship with my Buddha. Look at his creation. Now he has been exiled to the Tenth Heaven. What does the future hold? Rulai said helplessly. After all, he is a quasi-saint cultivator, and there are very few things in the Three Realms that he can't calculate by himself, and if he can't imagine that there is an outlier, he doesn't know his future.
"The Tenth Heaven, Turbulent Forbidden Land, so it seems that this anomaly must have died young, but it's a pity that he has the ability to do it. Manjushri said.
"The Chaos Embryo has been taken away by him, and he thinks that he has achieved the Chaos Body. Wouldn't that be a waste? I knew that the four of us should desperately try to reclaim the Chaos Embryo. The Four Great King Kongs said with a painful face.
"Amitabha. Jin Cicada, I see that you have a different color when you hear it, but you have a different opinion?" Ru came to ask the golden cicada on the side.
"Hehe、、、 the little monk doesn't have any opinions. Jin Chanzi smiled slightly and shook his head. I have to say that Jin Cicada, that is, the later Sanzang Master Tang Seng, sells quite really, handsome and elegant, there seems to be endless wisdom hidden between the eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and always maintains a chic posture of bathing in the spring breeze.
"Oh, Golden Cicada, you clearly have a hidden idea, why don't you say it? Ananda accused. Mei Yujian can be said to be extremely jealous of the golden cicada, obviously a small monk with a not very high status, ascetic cultivation and attainment of bliss, but he has become a Buddha, with the qualifications of the Buddhas, he Ananda Buddha's two disciples, actually not as good as an ascetic monk, if not for this identity, I am afraid that there is no qualification to come here to listen to the Buddha.
"What's the difference between saying and not talking? It's better to learn to be self-disciplined and then ask other questions. Jin Cicada smiled faintly. In his words, he was exhorting Ananda to abandon distracting thoughts, concentrate on studying Hinayana Buddhism, and pay attention to other people's affairs.
"What Jin Chanzi said is extremely true, poor monks are not as good. Manjushri and Puxian were ashamed of themselves, and Ananda's face was extremely ugly, but he was helpless, but he was doing it as a great monk, a Buddha, and a Bodhisattva!
"Okay、、、 Buddhas, why don't you go back to the topic first and listen to the Buddha's explanation of Hinayana Buddhism!"
"Amitabha, Great Good 、、、"
The Buddhas nodded one after another, and then put aside the topic of Guangyun. When Rulai was about to continue to explain, Jin Chanzi said again: "Buddha, Hinayana Buddhism has been explained no less than 10,000 times, and we have all remembered it, and the little monk is confident that he has succeeded in himself, and I hope that the Buddha will preach Mahayana Buddhism and let the little monk teach sentient beings." ”
"Presumptuous、、、 golden cicada, do you know that the Dharma is impossible, how can you understand all the true meanings? The Buddha has been talking about the Buddha again for hundreds of years, have you listened to it in vain for so many years?" Ananda said angrily, and all the Buddhas also looked at the golden cicada, which is too proud! They have not succeeded themselves, but he said that he has succeeded by himself, who will believe it?
If you look at the golden cicada, with a wave of your big hand, a Buddha light covers the golden cicada's body, only to see the golden cicada around the body of the dazzling golden light, it seems that the golden cicada is the same as the golden cast, all the Buddhas are very surprised, usually with the best relationship with the golden cicada Guanyin Bodhisattva stood up and said: "The golden cicada has succeeded since itself, and the little monk knows." ”
"Amitabha、、、 golden cicada is indeed a success, gratifying, it seems that the trip to the west must be the golden cicada. Rulai said with a slight smile.
"Great Benevolence 、、、" The Buddhas said enviously, Ananda's face suddenly turned pale, the person who traveled to the west to learn the scriptures was actually the golden cicada, and Ananda and Ka Ye, who were the disciples of the Buddha, would not do it! It stands to reason that the people who study the scriptures should make one of the two of them, how could they let the golden cicada go? You must know that there is a great merit reward for learning the scriptures, and how many Buddhist disciples are blushing when they look at it? Even if they talk about the ranking, it is not the turn of the golden cicada!
What was the birth of the golden cicada? The last member of the Heavenly Cicada clan, to put it bluntly, he was born of the demon clan. Isn't it defiling the Buddhist sect by letting a demon clan undertake the great cause of the prosperity of Buddhism? Jia Ye couldn't help it, and said: "Buddha, isn't it inappropriate to let Jin Chanzi serve as the person who learns scriptures? You must know that he is a demon clan. ”
"Amitabha、、、 how did Ka Yewu usually teach you? The flesh is nothing but skin, why do you care? The golden cicada has achieved success by itself, and the destiny of heaven is not something you and I can identify. It is related to the great cause of my Buddhism, Jin Chanzi, do you have the confidence to embark on this experience?"
"Hehe、、、 of course the poor monk has confidence, if he doesn't have faith, how can he achieve the right result? The golden cicada got up and smiled, his eyes were full of life, exuding infinite charm, and the Buddhas were ashamed of their own courage as the golden cicada.
"That's what you said, so please put your golden body on top of the Mahayana Dharma scriptures, and when you get the true scriptures, you can get your golden body back. Ananda shouted, for fear that the golden cicada would regret it.
If he abandons the golden body, the golden cicada will not have the ability to reach the sky, and he will be mortal with the naked eye, see how he can get serious? I'm afraid that he will be eaten by monsters on the way here.
"Don't 、、、 the golden cicada, if you abandon the golden body, what year and month will you be able to get serious?" Guanyin said anxiously.
"yes!" the golden cicada thinks twice. The Buddhas persuaded one after another, although the courage of the golden cicada made them admire, but this is not a joke, on the West Heaven Road, there are many demons and monsters, and the golden cicada with the naked eye is simply sent to death.
"Amitabha、、、 if you get the scriptures so lightly, the world will not know how to cherish the Mahayana Buddhism, and if you are afraid, you can give up the task of learning the scriptures. Kaye said coldly. (To be continued......)
