Chapter 480: Ask Jizo
On the boundless barren land, a huge city is entrenched, with thousands of houses and billions of ghosts, that is the largest super city in the Netherworld-the City of Vain Death!
"I heard that the city of the dead was founded by the Jizo King Bodhisattva, is that so?" asked the Nether Princess, looking back.
"I guess, this teacher doesn't know very well. However, the teacher knew that when the Dao was in the old underworld, there was no Jizang, and at that time, there was no Netherworld and the Ten Palaces of Yama, and the ruler of hell was the Dongyue Emperor. Wake explained.
"There is such a great secret in the underworld, it turns out that my father was not the boss of the underworld before!" The Netherworld Princess suddenly became curious, but she did not expect that her great and omnipotent father was not the ruler of the Netherworld, and even the Netherworld had not been established at that time.
"Teacher, why did my father become the Ten Palaces Yama, and where did the Jizo King Bodhisattva come from?"
"Because this is too old, and there are few records in ancient books, the teacher and I are just hearsay. ”
Su Xing glanced at the Netherworld Princess, and then said: "According to legend, in ancient times, there were immortals and Buddhas in the heavenly realm in the Three Realms, and there were humans and demons in the human world, and there were not only ghosts in the underworld, but also demons!"
Demons, born bloodthirsty and killing, plagued the Three Realms, and the humans, demons, immortals, Buddhas, and ghost beings in the Three Realms united to crusade against demons, and the battlefield broke out in the underworld.
It was an earth-shattering thousand-year battle, which directly led to the end of the ancient period, the demise of the demons, and the drastic changes in the underworld.
After the battle to destroy the demons, the underworld changed greatly, and the damage suffered was too severe, the peaks of the Optimus Mountains were broken, the Lechuan River was polluted, and the ability to transport souls to the other two realms was lost, and the entire world world became full of holes and thousands of miles of red land. It was barren and the yin qi was thin.
After that, Emperor Dongyue handed over the seal of the underworld, and your father, the former Yama of the first temple, began to rule the underworld, and established the underworld with the other nine Yamas to manage everything in the underworld.
At that time, a reincarnation immortal came to the heavenly realm and created six reincarnations. Another Bodhisattva came and made a grand wish that 'hell is not empty, and he will not become a Buddha'. ”
"Hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha?"
"That's right, hell is not empty. Vow not to become a Buddha!"
"Teacher, I have some doubts. Nether Princess said.
"When the time comes, you can ask Jizo Bodhisattva personally, he has the great wisdom of the world and can answer you perfectly. Wake up.
As they spoke, they entered the city of vain death, and really saw the faces of all beings, the faces of a billion sentient beings who died in vain.
Su Xing took the princess without staying on the surface of the city of death, and directly followed the instructions of the Son of Heaven to find the city lord of the city of death. Under the guidance of the lord of the city of vain death, he went to the underground of the city of vain death, the location of the king of Jizo Bodhisattva.
With a thud, the earth cracked, reaching a kilometer below.
"Lord Su, the Jizo King Bodhisattva is in a stone cave underground. If you go down from here, you will see the Jizo King Bodhisattva. Said the lord of the city of vain.
"There's the Lord of Lao!" said Su Xing, looking down at the rift, his eyes glowing and far-sighted. But the bottom of the crack was also not seen.
"Let's go!" woke up and picked up the princess and jumped down the crack.
With a bang, the earth shook. At the moment when she woke up and the Nether Princess jumped, the ground was stitched together, and there was not a single gap, as if it had never been opened.
The city lord of the vain city swept the ground under his feet lightly, and turned away indifferently.
After waking up and jumping into the cracks in the ground, the mountain walls on both sides rumbled and shook, and the top quickly merged.
"How deep is this crack, I feel like I'm going to hell. Su Xing said anxiously, a faint red light emanating from the darkness, and the temperature around him was gradually rising.
"What is the Jizo King Bodhisattva in this kind of place, I feel that the city lord who died in vain just now is a little strange. Nether said.
"King Jizo Bodhisattva has always guarded the city of vain death and sentient beings, and it is very great. As for why he stayed underground, there was a reason.
'Patience is as immovable as the earth, and meditation is as deep as a secret vault', hence the name Jizo. Together with Guanyin, Manjushri and Fuxian, he is one of the four great bodhisattvas of Buddhism. Wake explained.
They didn't know how many meters they had sunk in the bottomless cracks, and it took a while for them to hit the ground.
After landing on the ground, it was found to be a relatively spacious stone cave, and another passage led to the mysterious and holy place.
"Such a powerful Buddha nature, the Buddha's light shines. He and the Netherworld Princess were still in the cave, and they had not yet passed through the passage and entered the Buddha cave to meet the Jizo Bodhisattva, but they had already felt the amazing Buddha nature.
The golden Buddha light is like clear water, rippling out from the depths of the passage, washing people's hearts, making people ethereal, and suddenly there is a feeling of pilgrimage.
Su Xing glanced at the Netherworld Princess and found that she looked as usual, with a hint of curiosity, and was not affected by the Buddha's light, nor did she have the psychology of pilgrimage.
"In front of it should be the Buddha cave where the Jizo King Bodhisattva is located, let's go and pay a visit, and then ask the Jizo King Bodhisattva to baptize you. Awakening, he led the Nether Princess into the passageway.
The light of the Buddha ripples, the golden rays flicker, through the passage, the eyes suddenly open up, and a stone door appears in front of them.
"Wake up, Netherworld Princess, and meet the Great Wish Jizo King Bodhisattva. Wake said loudly.
He called the Jizo King Bodhisattva the Great Wish Jizo King Bodhisattva out of respect.
After all, the Great Wish Jizo King Bodhisattva is the same existence as the Ten Hall Yamas, and is the same as the Supreme!
"Amitabha!"
With a loud Buddha call, the stone door opened silently.
Behind the stone gate is a simple stone cave, in the center of the stone cave is a bodhisattva of a monk sitting on the nine-rank lotus platform, holding a tin staff in the right hand, and a treasure bead in the left hand, the demeanor is serene, and the wonderful appearance is solemn.
As the saying goes, "the appearance of a bhikshu on the outside, the secret bodhisattva on the inside", that is the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth!
In the other six directions of the stone cave, there are also treasure places, treasure palms, holding ground, treasure seals, treasure beads, and solid meaning Bodhisattva for the six earth treasures.
Tibetan Bodhisattva is known as the Six Earths because of his great wish to fulfill the six realms of life and death and the flow of sentient beings, so he often appears in the six realms of man, heaven and hell, and has the name and image of the six earths, and its name and image are as follows:
Tantuo Jizo, "Tantuo" is a kind of human head, its image is the left hand holding the human head, the right hand is knotted with a nectar seal, specifically to save the beings of the hell road.
The jewel is hidden, holding the jewel in his left hand and the nectar seal in his right hand, specializing in saving hungry ghosts.
Treasure seal Jizang, holding a tin staff in his left hand, and a wishful treasure seal in his right hand, specializing in helping the animal life.
Holding the earth, holding the vajra in his left hand, and the fearless seal in his right hand, he specializes in the Asura Path.
In addition to the obstacle Jizo, the left hand holds a tin staff, and the right hand knots the seal of wishes, removing the cover of the eight sufferings for people, and specifically helping humanity. The so-called eight sufferings are the suffering of birth, the suffering of old age, the suffering of illness, the suffering of death, the suffering of resentment, the suffering of love and separation, the suffering of not seeking, and the suffering of the five yin, which are taken by the truth of suffering.
The sun and the earth are the ones who can transform the way of heaven and remove their afflictions according to the five decays of heaven and man.
The golden light is rippling, the sound of the Buddha is lingering, in addition to the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth in the stone cave, there is also a lion-like Di Ting, a Buddha who sits cross-legged and practices meditation.
Although this stone cave is simple, because of the existence of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, it is like a realm of bliss.
"Are you the Jizo King Bodhisattva?" asked the Nether Princess, bold and careful.
"Amitabha!"
The central Jizo King Bodhisattva shouted Buddha's shout.
"Can this princess ask the bodhisattva a few questions?" continued the Nether Princess.
"Amitabha, the benefactor is restrained and has the breath of the strongest to protect it, I think it is the child of the king of Yama, the princess of the Netherworld. Just ask, I hope it can help you. Jizo replied.
"You have stayed well in the Western Heavenly Buddha Kingdom, what are you going to hell for?" was the first question of the Netherworld.
"If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell!" replied King Jizo.
"Then what are you going to hell for a bodhisattva, the underworld is a place for ghosts. "The Nether Princess's eyes are clear and clear, and she is outspoken.
"Hell is not empty, you will not become a Buddha, all sentient beings will be exhausted, and Bodhi will be proven. "This is the great wish of King Jizo Bodhisattva!
Shakyamuni Buddha once praised the Bodhisattva Jizo and said, "Jizo Jizo." Your divine power is incredible. Your mercy is incredible. Your wisdom is incredible. Thou art eloquent, incredible. It is making the Buddhas of the ten directions. Praise and proclaim, if you don't think about it, you can't get it all in the thousands of calamities."
"Hell is not empty, you will not become a Buddha, all sentient beings will be exhausted, and you will prove Bodhi? If you stay in hell for a day, won't you never become a Buddha and not attain Bodhi!" said the Netherworld Princess.
(Chapter 2 is a little late, sorry.) I started my internship today, and when I went home in the evening, I took the reverse car again, and it turned out to be even later.......
