Chapter 302 Journey to the West will be the prelude
At the moment when the Taishang Sage agreed to the proposal of the Quasi-Daoist, the top mixed Yuan powers such as Qingxuan and Wahuang and the saints all sensed that there had been a lot of changes in the long river of fate outside the void, because the two Immortal Dao Saints of Yuan Shi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Master acquiesced, and naturally Qing Xuan and the others had nothing to say, so the great prosperity of Buddhism suddenly became much smaller, and even many resistances have faintly changed, and they no longer exist simply as resistance.
For the change of the fate of the outer heavens, Zhun Ti this Buddhist sage can naturally be easily sensed, for such a scene, although Zhun Ti knows that the Tao has Lao Jun's calculations, but after all, it is to achieve his own goal, so he will not nag with Lao Jun, after saying goodbye, he is quickly leaving the Great Red Sky Eight Scenery Palace, towards the pure land of the West Heaven Elysium, and talking to Amitabha Buddha about the harvest of his trip.
"It seems that this Supreme Sage has a lot of thoughts, but the junior brother should be more careful. After Amitabha Buddha heard the news told by the Zhun Ti sage, he added the analysis of the heavenly machine that he had just calculated, and looked at Zhun Ti Dao with great concern.
"Hehe, senior brother doesn't need to be like this, we just need to wait and see what happens, speaking of which, this matter is also just right for us, since Lao Jun intends to let me open the floodgates, then we can also let him relax his vigilance, seek welfare, and accumulate luck merits. After the spread of Buddhism and Taoism to the east, it will not be easy for Taoists to suppress us. Zhun Ti just showed disapproval, sneering rather sarcastically.
Seeing this, Amitabha Buddha didn't say much, and with a swing of the relics Buddha beads in his hand, it was to make the various changes in the Huaguo Mountain manifested in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool in front of him, and said indifferently: "Senior brother can think about who will teach the elf in the stone, after all, the elf in the stone is related to Nuwa Niangniang, except for you and me in my Buddhism, but few people can teach him, if you and I go to teach him, but there will be trouble for the people who will pass on the scriptures in the future." "Compared with the calculations of the Zhun Ti Taoist, although Amitabha Buddha is not as good as Zhun Ti in calculation, but as the ancestor of all Buddhas, he has always been cautious and strives to be stable in everything, so many times although he can see what Zhun Ti can't see, and it is exactly like to know Amitabha Buddha of his calculations and let him staff and staff.
When the quasi-Daoist heard this, he also nodded with a wry smile and said: "Senior brother's words are good, but the master of this stone elf is really difficult to find, although many of my second-generation disciples of Buddhism can do this important task, but they are not suitable for incarnation of the scriptures." And the three generations of disciples are afraid that few can give him some tempering, if the time comes, if the spirit in the stone is difficult to change, blindly strong, and end up with Shi Ji, not only is it a pity that the good material and beautiful jade, I am afraid that the one in the Emperor Mountain will also blame us. When the time comes 616161616161 I wonder if Senior Brother Lu Dao has any suggestions?"
"There is a candidate here, but there is still one missing. Amitabha Buddha ignored Zhun Ti's rather surprised eyes, and continued: "This person is also quite related to his junior brother, he was the elder brother who evolved out of the Seven Treasure Forest in the body, because his origin is also innate Bodhi, and the generations are not easy to divide, so he was sent by his junior brother to assist Shakyamuni and became one of his top ten disciples. And in terms of the particularity of this child who is not inferior to the elf in the stone, as the master of the elf in the stone is not bad. ”
"Su Bodhi?" Zhun Ti thought about it and nodded: "Although this kid's strength is weaker, it's not bad to let him meddle in this matter, anyway, it is more than enough to teach this stone elf with his cultivation." After the quasi-Daoist finished speaking, he brushed the Qibao Miao Tree, and after a streamer flew out, he heard the sound of the golden bell and jade chime in the Qibao Forest.
And in this world, countless beings in this world because of this sound, and the soul is pure, pure and at the same time, I saw a person walking in front of the two saints, but seeing this person, holding the blissful pure jade dust, wearing the Taiyi golden lotus crown, wearing the auspicious cloud gossip robe, both with a fairy wind bones, free nature, and with the fragrant Buddha light, pure and solemn, but it is quite similar to Zhun Ti.
"Meet the Buddha and the Buddha's mother, I don't know what the Buddha and the Buddha's mother command?" said something quite strange to the two saints respectfully.
Amitabha Buddha has long been accustomed to this way of speaking, and said with kindness on his face: "Su Bodhi, this time my junior brother and I hope that you will go to a fairy stone on Huaguo Mountain in the East China Sea to take over the cause and effect, and establish a dojo in Fangcun Mountain, Lingtai in Xiniu Hezhou. ”
After Zhun Ti said some important details to Su Bodhi on the side, he asked Su Bodhi to take his treasure Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to open up the dojo, and after Su Bodhi received the decree, he turned into a rainbow and left, first went to Huaguo Mountain in the East China Sea to take a look at the high-profile fairy stone, and then nodded again and again at this fairy stone that was three feet six feet five inches high, two feet and four feet around, and had nine holes and eight holes: "It is worthy of the two saints who care so much, but it is really good and beautiful." ”
Said that Su Bodhi is to roll his sleeve robe, sprinkled with the power of countless stars it collected, after the power of these stars into the immortal stone, and then the seven treasures in his hand brushed, sprinkled the vast Buddha light fell on this immortal stone, and with the Buddha light slowly penetrated into it little by little, I saw that after absorbing the power of the stars, it was a brilliant immortal stone, that is, after the light converged and returned to a calm appearance, I couldn't help laughing: "In this way, the birth date of this immortal stone is advanced, and I and its cause and effect have also become." ”
After Su Bodhi finished speaking, he stared at the fairy stone for a while, that is, after leaving a forbidden, he turned into a rainbow and left, returned to Xiniu Hezhou, came to the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, and brushed the Qibao Miao Tree in his hand again and again, and saw that this saint's magic weapon emitted Taoist rhyme ripples, so that the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain had earth-shaking changes. After some accelerated vicissitudes of life, I saw a naturally formed Xianjia Cave Mansion appear in front of Su Bodhi, and the words "Three Star Cave of the Oblique Moon" were engraved on the cave house.
At the same time that Su Bodhi established the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and the Three-Star Cave of the Oblique Moon, the two saints in the Western Elysium Realm discussed the second master of the elves in the stone. So I saw a Buddha light falling in the Elysian realm, and flew straight towards the Yuanjue Cave of Eagle Mountain, where the ancient Buddha was located.
Although the lamp has not been fully attributed to Buddhism for various reasons, as an ancient Buddha, the cave is rarely decorated with Buddhism. But see that there are gold bricks paving in this Vulture Mountain Yuanjue Cave, glazed decoration, Mani Orb hanging high in the air, blooming thousands of Buddha light and wisdom, the Vulture Mountain Yuanjue Cave renders the golden brilliance, pure and solemn, and at the same time there are countless Buddha Lotus Bodhi looming in the Buddha's light, showing the fact that this place is the pure land of Buddhism.
The ancient Buddha of the lamp is the identity of the people who are orthodox in the Buddhism, but because the lamp has been incarnated several times when the Buddha fruit is obtained, the believers of the Pudu and the Buddhist monks, so they leave the title of fixed light such as lai, ingots such as lai, universal light such as lai, light such as lai, light such as lai, and so on, at the same time, because when its incarnation was born, there was a great light sun and moon Buddha lamp around the body guarded, so the Buddhist believers all know that the Tao is such as the incarnation of the ancient Buddha on the lamp.
At this time, the lamp sits on the top of the lapis gold lotus, wearing a big red robe, the Buddha's light shines on the top, the auspicious clouds are blooming, and there is a golden lamp suspended in the void, scattering the glow all over, which is to show that the ancient Buddha on the lamp shines on the immeasurable world of the ten directions, cleanses the evil, and suppresses the immeasurable supernatural power of the demons. What is surprising is that the ancient Buddha's magical power on the lamp could not stop a rainbow light from flying outside the cave, but seeing that this rainbow light ignored all kinds of prohibitions in the Vulture Mountain, and also ignored the many laws around the ancient Buddha on the lamp, it fell in front of the lamp in a grand manner.
Burning the lamp to open the Buddha's eyes, looking at the golden light in front of him, the lotus phantom hovering outside, the Buddha stickers with different fragrances on the left and right, is a slight sigh, the glass cup in his hand swing, he saw the light flickering, illuminating the universe at the same time, interpreting the various matters in the sage's edict: "Since it is entrusted by the two masters, then the lamp will naturally follow." As soon as the words of the lamp fell, I saw that the Buddha in front of me turned into a golden glow and dispersed, but it was the two saints of the West who got the reply of the lamp, indicating the scene of knowing the Tao.
The original gloomy face of the ancient Buddha on the lamp, looking at the innate Bodhi seed left behind after the golden glow dissipated, was slightly stunned, and then sighed: "This Zhun Ti sage treats me not badly. "Saying is to pick up this innate Bodhi seed to observe carefully, but see that there are immeasurable stars and moonlight condensation on this Bodhi, and there are wisps of Buddha light, and the Sanskrit sound is faint, it is the congenital star and moon Bodhi born by the body of the Zhun Ti sage, because this thing is like a golden toad, so it is also called the golden cicada.
"The saints have all made plans for me, so what is there for the poor monk to refuse, it's just that, there are not many things like this that can not only pay off the cause and effect, but also gain merit. After lighting the lamp and looking at this innate star and moon Bodhi for a while, I saw that this Bodhi was surrounded by thousands of auspicious clouds, illuminated by the immeasurable Buddha light, and in the vision of the golden lotus and the golden lamp, it turned into a sleeping Buddha phantom sitting between the thousands of Buddha light clouds.
And with the Buddha's light and auspicious clouds, the Buddha's phantom is more and more condensed, and at the moment of its realization, he opened the Buddha's eyes, and closed the lamp and said: "Hehe, this poor road will be for the Taoist friends to go on a journey, Taoist friends can not only understand the cause and effect of the past, but also can use this merit to go further." ”
When he heard this, he smiled and said, "It's natural to be the best, but this time it's a friend of the road." ”
When the Buddha heard this, he also smiled and said, "You and I are one, so why be polite, the poor monk goes." As he spoke, he turned into a white rainbow and looked at Ling Mountain.
In the Pure Land in the center of this Buddhism, there is an immeasurable wonderland, among which the holy land of the spiritual mountain is the place where the Buddha Shakyamuni lives, when the Great Freedom in the Son of Heaven and the Heavenly Demon used the matter of destroying the Shakya clan, although the Lord of the Ten Thousand Buddhas has been affected to a certain extent in the cultivation of the Dao Heart, but this cannot prevent the Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha from becoming more and more terrifying, and the fact that the supernatural powers are becoming more and more extensive, and it is precisely because of the increasingly powerful strength of the Lord of the Ten Thousand Buddhas, so there are always thousands of Buddhas, Arhats, Vajra, The Bodhisattva listened here, and today, when Shakyamuni Buddha talked about the subtle place, he suddenly shouted a Buddha horn and woke everyone up.
And the Buddhas, Arhats, Vajra, and Bodhisattvas just opened their eyes, and saw that in the Da Lei Yin Temple, outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall, after a Buddha light fell, there was a monk holding Bodhi Buddha beads in his hand, and the monk with clear eyebrows appeared where, and although this person has vast magical powers, the immeasurable Buddha light lingers around him, showing solemnity and purity, but at the moment when he just stood firm, he was facing the Buddha Shakyamuni and bowed down: "Disciple Jin Chanzi to meet my Buddha." ”
Shakyamuni Buddha already knew the calculations of the two saints of the Buddha's Sect, but when he saw such a scene, he still sighed: "In the past, after I turned the robbery, when I had not re-entered the Buddha's door, it was the ancient Buddha who gave me the mark with his own hands. After Shakyamuni Buddha paused, he took out a Buddha seal, landed in front of the golden cicada, and stared at the golden cicada and said: "In this way, you will be the second disciple of the sect of this seat, Jin Chanzi, I don't know what you think?"
The Buddha, Arhat, Vajra, and Bodhisattva, who did not know much about the ancient Buddha, the golden cicada and the Shakyamuni on the lamp, were shocked, and they were quite surprised in their hearts.
"Thank you Shakyamuni Buddha so much. At the same time when the golden cicada heard the words and thanked him, his eyes suddenly bloomed with wisps of Buddha light, and after melting the Buddha seal given by Shakyamuni Buddha in front of him, it was to transform all the Buddha light of the lamp on his body into the Buddha light of Sakyamuni, and after the conversion of the Buddha's light was completed, he bowed down to thank Shakyamuni Buddha and said: The disciple is here to meet the master, and I hope that the master will be mixed as soon as possible, and the catastrophe will not be bad. ”
Seeing this, Shakyamuni Buddha immediately rejoiced and said, "Good, good, the disciple quickly flattened!" As soon as Shakyamuni Buddha said this, I saw that the cause and effect between Shakyamuni Buddha and the ancient Buddha on the lamp in the dark was to get the knot, and for a while, both the Buddha Shakyamuni and the ancient Buddha on the lamp felt all over the body for a while, and then I felt that the original hazy heavenly opportunity became clearer and clearer.
"Today, it is really gratifying to understand the cause and effect of the past and to be able to go further, but it is necessary to preach the immeasurable Mahayana Buddha fruit to the heavens and the same path, which is regarded as a celebration. At the moment of the end of cause and effect, Shakyamuni felt that his sense of the operation of the laws of heaven and earth became clearer and clearer, and many of the principles of heaven and earth that felt unattainable in the past are now at his fingertips, reaching out at his fingertips, and he can't help but be happy in his heart, showing the color of great joy at the same time, he is manifesting the wisdom wheel behind his head, preaching the mystery of the immeasurable Mahayana Buddhahood, which is to make many Buddhas, Arhats, Vajra, and Bodhisattvas present have great gains.
And as the light of the Buddha around the Buddha became more and more brilliant, faintly better than the glory of the sun and the moon, I saw that the phantom of hundreds of millions of believers of the Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha was sitting on the lotus platform, praying for the blessing of the Buddha, admiring his great virtue and power, so that the relics above his head were more and more brilliant and stout, vast like a rainbow, when he wandered the heavens and the earth, it was to fall countless manshu flowers and rain, so that hundreds of millions of believers in the Pure Land of the Buddha bowed down and thanked him.
And it is precisely because of such various visions that the matter of Jin Chanzi becoming the second disciple of Shakyamuni Buddha after Mahakala Ye under the throne of Shakyamuni Buddha was put aside, and then when others remembered this matter, Jin Chanzi had been practicing in the wonderful land of Lingshan and listened to Shakyamuni Buddha preach the Mahayana Buddha fruit for more than 100 years, so that this matter became a fact, and there was no possibility of investigating the bottom of it.
And then what happened is surprising, this golden cicada was demoted to the mortal world soon after, as for the reason for being demoted to the mortal world, but because he fell asleep during the Obon Festival, he was demoted to the mortal world and suffered because he did not respect the Buddha's teachings.
I don't know if the mother of the Buddhas has an enmity with the netherworld, or has an enmity with the Buddhas, when the mother of the Great Eyed Gandharan Venerable was alive, she slandered the Buddha and the Sangha, did not believe in the Dharma of cause and effect, was greedy and evil, teased sentient beings, and finally was beaten into the hungry ghost path, and suffered the pain of hunger in life and death, and this Great Eyed Gandharan Venerable was also a capable person, that is, he directly carried countless foods in his own Buddha bowl and sent it to his mother.
But I don't want my mother to grab the bowl with her left hand, and grab the food with her right hand and send it to her mouth, the food that has not yet eaten the imported food is all turned into charcoal and fly ashes, which makes the Venerable Gandharan of the Great Eyes shocked greatly, and the Venerable of the Great Eye Gandharan saw such a scene and could not bear the suffering of his mother, and ran to the Buddha Shakyamuni to seek the wonderful method, and the Buddha Shakyamuni because he couldn't bear it, he still said the mystery of it, and said bluntly:" Your mother is deeply sinful, and it is not your own power to do it, although your filial piety can move heaven and earth, but you can only do nothing about this karma. ”
The Venerable Gandharan was naturally grieved, and begged Shakyamuni Buddha for guidance, and Shakyamuni Buddha thought about it and gave an idea: "If you want to save your mother, you must put it in a basin on the 15th day of the seventh month, with a hundred flavors of food, a pot, a sesame oil lozenge, a candle, a bed, etc., and make devout offerings to the monks of the ten directions. ”
After listening to Shakyamuni Buddha's words, the Great Eyed Gandharan Venerable did what Shakyamuni Buddha said, and sure enough, let his mother really get rid of the suffering of hungry ghosts, go to heaven, and enjoy happiness. And it is precisely because the case of Venerable Gandharan is placed there that the custom of Obon has been passed down since then, and it has become one of the best means for Buddhism to proclaim its great virtues, and it is also one of the merits of Shakyamuni Buddha.
Naturally, as a disciple, the golden cicada slept when his master preached his merits, and it was not impossible to be demoted to the mortal world, so the heavenly immortals didn't care much about it, resulting in many immortals not knowing that the person who passed on the scriptures was the reincarnation of the golden cicada 616161616161
