Chapter 229, the Buddhas of Obon gather
The first is to ask for support!
But it is said that the Three Realms of the Flood and Desolation, on this day, there is a golden light flying out from the six reincarnations, heading towards the Eastern Earth Tang Dynasty, with a vision of the heavens, which makes people secretly marvel. Countless strong people have attracted attention, and many people in the know have many calculations in their hearts.
On the Ling Mountain, the thunder sound treasure temple.
The Buddha Shakyamuni, the elder of the Central Pure Land, sits on the nine-fold cloud platform and sits on the nine-grade golden lotus.
Around it, all the Buddhas gathered, all the Bodhisattvas, Vajra, the five hundred Aras, the three thousand Jiedi, and the immeasurable bhikshu monks and nuns in the Lingshan Buddha realm, all gathered in the Great Thunder Sound Treasure Temple.
Rulai raised his head and glanced around, saw the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas looking at him with a solemn expression, and then looked up towards the eastern sky, and saw that the golden Buddha light turned by the golden cicada illuminated the entire eastern sky, but he put his hands together and chanted a Buddha horn and said: "Nan no Amitabha!"
"Nan no Amitabha!"
When the Buddhas, the Bodhisattvas and the immeasurable monks saw this, they also folded their hands and recited the Buddha's name in unison.
"Since I was invited by the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Eastern Heavenly Court to go to the Heavenly Court to subdue that natural stone monkey, it has been five hundred years now. ”
sighed slightly, but Shakyamuni suddenly opened his mouth and laughed softly: "There is no Jiazi in the mountains, and I am waiting for the spiritual mountain to be blissful, but I don't know the changes of the years." Today is the day of Meng Qiuwang, I have a treasure pot, the pot is equipped with a hundred kinds of strange flowers, a thousand kinds of strange fruits and other things, and you can enjoy this Bon Festival with you, how about it?"
"My Buddha is compassionate!"
When the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on the side, as well as the immeasurable monks, saw this, they all looked clear and did not seem surprised. What's more, the faces of the monks on all sides were either joyful, longing, or disdainful.
The Bon Festival is set up by Buddhism to correspond to the Zhongyuan Festival of the Taoist Gate, and it is a festival for the people who serve the Dharma, mourn the deceased, and remember the ancestors.
On the day of Obon, the Buddhas on the mountain also have to celebrate the festival with the Buddhist believers. But on the Lingshan Mountain, the Buddhas are not to mourn the dead, but to preach the scriptures, solve the confusion of sentient beings, and even more for the deceased to exceed, the meaning of purifying sentient beings.
Therefore, the Lingshan Bon Dharma Festival is famous in the Three Realms, that is, many great sages of the Oriental Taoist Sect also go to participate from time to time, just because all the Buddhas will preach the scriptures and explain the Dharma at the meeting to preach and solve doubts for the participants.
Although the controversy between Buddhism and Taoism has been going on for a long time, whether it is cultivating Buddhism or cultivating the Tao, it is all for the purpose of transcending the Heavenly Dao. Besides, one way of the road, different paths to the same end, the stone of other mountains can be meritorious, although the way of Buddhism is different, but they all originate from the way of heaven, the two are confirmed, but it can bring countless enlightenment to people.
However, this Obon Dharma is not something that can be listened to, and if you want to get something, you naturally need to pay first. It's the same with listening to the sermon, otherwise why would the Buddha often send people down the mountain to preach the scriptures and teach the Dharma, but he wanted people to turn into a fate and come back.
Just reciting the sutra for the deceased to ensure the peace of the family, and the deceased was overborn, so he asked for three buckets and three liters of rice and gold, and said that his subordinates were cheap, so what did he say "the scriptures should not be passed on lightly"?
If you want to listen to the scriptures, you naturally have to bleed, spend money to buy a "ticket" or something, but it is similar to the opening concert of the big stars of the later generations. Those monks and monks, Buddhas and bodhisattvas were also happy and some sad.
I am glad that I have all kinds of doubts in my past practice of Buddhism, and now I can get the Buddha himself to explain the meaning of the scriptures. But the sad thing is that it is his own purse, and he wants to give it to the Buddha, and what he can get his hands on is not an ordinary ordinary thing?
If he came to see this, his expression remained unchanged, a trace of light flashed in his eyes, and he didn't care what everyone in the hall thought, he nodded slightly, and gestured slightly towards Ah Ao and Jia Ye on the side.
Raise your hand and take out a treasure pot, stretch out your hand to explore, and take out countless fragrant flowers and fruits from it, all of which are extraordinary. He also ordered Ka Ye to follow behind Ah Tai with a treasure pot and receive gifts from the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
But it made everyone in the hall have a stomachache, which can be described as painful and happy. However, those who are as strong as Guanyin of the South China Sea, Dari Rulai, and the Ancient Burning Lamp Buddha don't care at all, after all, in the eyes of these people, what are those promises?
All they care about is how much this Buddha Shakyamuni has become stronger recently. What I am concerned about is how big the gap is between my own family and Shakya, and whether I can have the opportunity to win the Lingshan and enter the treasure temple.
In a few rooms, after the Buddhas finished their offerings, they returned to their places, Ah Ao and Ka Ye held the Buddha's treasure pot in their hands, standing on both sides of the Buddha, smiling happily, but they could see that they had received a lot of benefits.
It made everyone feel painful, and saw that the world-honored person was standing on the lotus platform, his expression remained unchanged, but he spoke one after another. Please make it clear that the root is the source of the solution.
When he saw this, he turned his head to look at the treasures held by the two disciples, and nodded slightly. Then he opened his mouth slightly, performed Dafa, and preached positive results, but he talked about the three wonderful scriptures and the five aggregates. But I saw that the dragon was surrounded by that day, and the flowers and rain were colorful.
Exactly: Zen heart shines on thousands of rivers and moons, and the true nature is clear and contains thousands of miles of sky.
After a long time, if he came to speak, he turned his head to the people below and said: "I look at the Three Realms with the eyes of the Dharma, and I see the four continents, where all beings are good and evil, and all parties are different. ”
As he spoke, he looked at the people below slightly, and his eyes stayed on the faces of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Seeing that the expressions on the faces of several people remained unchanged, as if they had expected it, they smiled slightly, and continued: "The people of Dongsheng Shenzhou, respect the heavens and the earth, and have a calm heart. The people of Beiju Luzhou, although they are good at killing, are just to make a living, they are clumsy and sparse, and they don't do much. ”
"And I, the West Niu Hezhou, am not greedy or killed, nourishing qi and latent spirits, although there are few true immortals, but everyone has a long life. Only the people of the southern Ganbu Continent are greedy and lustful, killing and fighting, and the so-called murderous field of tongue and tongue is the evil sea of right and wrong in the Three Realms. I now have the Three Tibetan Sutras, which can persuade others to be kind. ”
When the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas heard this, their expressions moved, and then they took refuge with their palms together and asked in front of the Buddha, "Dare to ask which of the three Tibetan scriptures are there?"
If you come to see this, you will smile slightly: "I have a collection of the Fa to talk about the sky, a collection of the "Treatise" to talk about the earth, and a collection of the "Sutra" to save ghosts. There are a total of 35 books in Sanzang, and the 15,144 volumes are the scriptures of cultivation and the door of righteousness and goodness. ”
"I wanted to send the true scriptures to the eastern land, but unfortunately the sentient beings on that side were stupid, slandered the truth, did not know the purpose of my Dharma, and neglected the authenticity of the Yoga. How to get a man with magic power, go to the east to find a good believer, teach him to go through thousands of mountains, pass through thousands of rivers, go to my place to seek the true scriptures, forever pass on the east land, and persuade sentient beings. But it is a great blessing and a good celebration of the depths of the sea. I wonder who wants to go for a walk?"
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and naturally they smelled a smell, the smell of merit. It's a pity that he knows that although such merit is huge, he is still a monk with a lot of soup, and a few of his people in charge may have already divided it up, so how can they have their own share?
Only the Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South China Sea, got off the lotus platform, walked to the front of the Shakya, bowed to the Buddha three turns, and said: "The disciple is not talented, I wish to go to the east to find a person to learn the scriptures." ”
When all the saints heard this, they were all amazed, and when they looked up, they saw that the Bodhisattva had four virtues and was full of wisdom. The tassels are hanging beads and emeralds, and the incense ring is bright. The dark clouds are skillfully stacked with dragon buns, and the embroidered ribbons are light and colorful phoenixes.
Jasper buttons, Su Luo robe, shrouded in auspicious light, brocade skirt, golden rope, Rui Qi to welcome. The eyebrows are like a small moon, and the eyes are like double stars. The jade face is born happy, the red lips are a little red, the net bottle of nectar is prosperous every year, and the oblique weeping poplar is green and young.
Solve the eight difficulties, save the masses, and have great compassion. Zeng Zhen Taishan, living in the South China Sea, saving the suffering and seeking the voice, thousands of responses, thousands of saints and thousands of spirits. Lan Xinxin purple bamboo, Hui ** fragrant vine. He is the Lord of Compassion on Luojia Mountain, and the living Guanyin in the Chaoyin Cave.
If you come to see this, you will be happy and say: "You can't go to anyone else, you must be Venerable Guanyin, and you can only get it if you have great powers." Guan Zizi heard the words, but his expression remained unchanged, and he bowed slightly to Shakya and said, "What words do you have for the disciple to go to Dongtu?"
When he heard this, he smiled softly, and then said: "This time, you must step on the road, and you are not allowed to travel in the Xiaohan, you must be half cloudy and half foggy: look at the mountains and rivers, remember the number of distances, and tell the people who learn the scriptures." But I am afraid that the road is difficult and dangerous, and the demons are rampant, and even if the good faith has the heart of the way, it is also difficult to walk, so I have five treasures with you. ”
Immediately ordered Ah Da and Jia Ye to take out a collar of "brocade bat robe" and a "nine-ring tin staff", and said to the Bodhisattva: "This robe and tin staff can be used by the person who took the scriptures." If you are willing to come here, put on my robe so that you will not fall into reincarnation, and if you hold my tin rod, you will not be poisoned. ”
When Guanyin Bodhisattva heard this, his expression moved slightly, and he took refuge and bowed to the leader, and put away the tin staff and robe.
Seeing this, he nodded slightly, took out three hoops, handed them to the Bodhisattva, and said, "This treasure is called to be a tight hoop." Although they are the same three, they are only used differently, and I have three spells of gold, tightness, and forbiddenness. If you encounter a powerful demon on the road, you must persuade him to learn well and become an apprentice to the person who learned the scriptures. If he doesn't call for it, he can put this hoop on his head with him, and naturally see the flesh take root. After reciting the mantra he used, his eyes were swollen and his head was cracked, and he was disciplined to come down from my door. ”
When Guanyin heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he bowed to the Buddha one after another, and then retreated. Out of the Lei Yin Treasure Temple, he immediately summoned his disciple Hui'an Xing and ordered him to accompany him.
That Hui'an walker Muzha is the second son of King Li Tianwang of the Heavenly Court, who was originally a disciple of the real people of Fuxian who taught Fuxian, experienced the first battle of the gods, and cultivated profoundly. Later, because Fuxian Zhenren escaped to the West and became a Fuxian Bodhisattva, Muzha also became a member of the Western Church.
It is also because Guanyin was robbed of reincarnation and manifested the appearance of men and women, so Fuxian ordered Muzha to worship Guanyin as a teacher and protect Guanyin.
I saw that the Hui'an walker was very brave, and made a muddy iron rod, weighing a thousand catties, only around the Bodhisattva, as a strong man who subdued demons.
When the Bodhisattva saw this, he turned the brocade bat robe into a package and made him carry it. The Bodhisattva also hid the golden hoop, took the tin staff, and went down to the spiritual mountain......
