Enlightenment begins with the consecration of God

Chapter 187 Heavenly Demon Blocking the Way, Golden Lotus of Merit

Yang Tuo followed Lao Tzu in the desert and the Gobi.

Although this Xiniu Hezhou is barren, it is still a place where living creatures gather.Along the way, we passed through many small countries.

Although these small countries are called countries, many of them are only the size of a city.Due to the barren land and the scarcity of water, countries large and small cannot be connected together.

They had to develop on their own, and lived a difficult life in Hezhou, Xiniu.

Laozi traveled all the way west, spreading the road all over the land.A country as numerous as stars, settlements are like sparks of fire.

They accepted the enlightenment of the sages and sowed the seeds of the avenue.The idea of ​​Taoism has taken root in the land of Xiniu Hezhou.

When Lao Tzu traveled all the way west, Taoist Duobao who devoted himself to Kapilavatthu was already in his twenties.

The old king had long established him as the prince, but Daoist Duobao didn't like glory and wealth, but because he had seen many sufferings in the world, he had the idea that all sentient beings are suffering.

From then on, he always wanted to become a monk and practice in order to find the way of transcendence for all living beings.But the king has only one prince, and the country has no heirs, so he can only suppress his desire.

When he was 19 years old, he married the princess of Koli City.It was not until the age of 29 that the princess gave birth to a prince for him, and he decided to leave home to practice.

Although the King Jingfan was reluctant to give up, he also understood that his son had his own way to go, and he could not tie him to Kapilavastu, as that would limit his life.

He held back his grief and turned to raising his grandson as heir.Let his son rest assured to embark on the road of seeking the Tao, to pursue the Tao in his heart.

Taoist Duobao left the palace alone one night, and went to many holy places to seek the method of transcendence.

In the vicinity of King Shecheng of Magadha, he learned meditation from the pioneers of "Number Theory" Alara Kalama and Udakalama.

Xiniu Hezhou has been managed by Western religions for a long time, but now it is still the mainstream of Xiniu Hezhou even though it has broken through the mystery and changed to Buddhism.

Daoist Duobao went out to seek the way, and all the dharmas he encountered were Buddhist practice methods.

This meditation is also a great method in Buddhism.It is a mind-refining method for those who practice the Bodhisattva way. Its purpose is to purify the mind, exercise wisdom, and enter the realm of the truth of all dharmas.

However, although meditation is a great method with infinite power and wisdom, it is a method for self-cultivation, a method for perfecting oneself and consummating the soul, and it does not help much to save sentient beings.

Taoist Duobao gave up this path after practicing for a period of time.What he pursues is to free all living beings from the cycle of life and death, and to get rid of many sufferings such as birth, old age, sickness and death.

Meditation could not achieve this goal, so he bid farewell to Alara Kalama and Udakalama, and continued to search for a method that could save all living beings.

The Daoist of Duobao went to the vicinity of Vaisali City to visit the ascetic Bhagava. Bhagava practiced asceticism in order to be reborn in the sky. The moon, or lying on the dust, thorns, etc. with one foot up.

Taoist Duobao looked at this ascetic practice and knew that he could only get the retribution of rebirth in heaven. During the question and answer with Bhagava and other practitioners, he knew that it was not the real way of liberation, so he resigned and continued to seek the way of liberation in other places.

Daoist Duobao walked all the way and came to Bodh Gaya, where he stopped.Among the many methods he has seen, none of them is the method of saving sentient beings, all of them are ways of saving oneself.

He decided to stop and think about the way of liberation by himself.Under the Pippala tree, he sat quietly and thought about the Four Noble Truths and the principles of twelve causes and conditions.

Daoist Duobao wholeheartedly wants to save all living beings, so that all living beings can escape from the sea of ​​suffering and reach the other shore.There is no solution in the world, and Taoist Duobao meditates under the bodhi tree in order to seek the way of detachment.

In this way, Daoist Duobao began to realize Taoism under the Bodhi tree.

After several years of trekking, Lao Tzu and Yang Tuo also came to Bodh Gaya, where they saw the reincarnation of Taoist Taoist Gautama Siddhartha who was practicing under the tree.

At this time, Daoist Duobao was thinking hard under the Bodhi tree, what is the source of the suffering of all living beings, what is liberation, and what is the method of liberation.

Seeing this, Lao Tzu didn't bother me, just waiting for him to wake up.

I don't know how long it took, Taoist Duobao who was sitting under the tree suddenly stood up, pointed to the sky with one hand, and pointed to the ground with the other, and said, "In the sky and on the earth, only 'I' is the only one!"

As soon as Taoist Duobao finished speaking, the situation in the sky changed color.In the void, endless extraterrestrial demons suddenly appeared.

These extraterritorial celestial demons are endless and densely covered the entire world.Seeing this, Yang Tuo was also inexplicably horrified.

He knew that when Sakyamuni became enlightened, there would be heavenly demons attacking him, but he did not expect that so many heavenly demons would come.

He immediately calmed down, with the saint by his side, no matter how many demons there were, he would not be afraid.Moreover, Sakyamuni is destined to survive the catastrophe and complete his meritorious deeds.

Yang Tuo opened his magic eyes and looked up into the sky.I saw a demon king riding a war elephant slowly emerging from the void.

Yang Tuo took a closer look and found that it was the Lord of the Desire Realm, the Great Demon King Bo Xun.

In the Desire Realm, Bo Xun saw Taoist Duobao was about to realize Taoism, and immediately led a group of demons to stop him.

He could foresee that if this person became enlightened, it would be a huge harm to his Desire Realm Heaven.

The extraterrestrial demons are endless and extremely numerous.Bo Xun came with 80 billion heavenly demons, and all the heavenly demons cast their own spells, trying to destroy Taoist Duobao's mood.

Taoist Duobao has realized that the world is only me at this time, and I am not moved.No matter how powerful the extraterrestrial demon magic is, it can't shake his heart at all.

No matter how tempted by the demon, Taoist Duobao sat under the tree with peace of mind.Seeing this, Bo Xun was very angry.

He sent his three daughters, Aiyu, Ainian and Aile, to come to Taoist Duobao, and a real dance of demons unfolded slowly.

Seeing these scenes, Yang Tuo couldn't help looking at Lao Tzu, only to see that Lao Tzu was watching the scene in front of him, unmoved at all.

All the heavenly demons also avoided the saint's place far away.But the demon is afraid of saints, but not Yang Tuo.

Many demons in the periphery rushed towards Yang Tuo because they couldn't squeeze in front of Daoist Duobao.

Seeing this, Yang Tuo thought, "It's time!" He turned his palm over, and a golden lotus appeared in his hand.

It was the third-grade karmic golden lotus, and I saw the karmic golden lotus emitting infinite golden light. Before the sky-filled demon approached, it was irradiated by the golden light and dissipated.

Lao Tzu was also attracted by the golden light, so he couldn't help but look over.Seeing Yang Tuo holding a golden lotus in his hand, he couldn't help but let out a little surprise.

He recognized at a glance that this is the treasure of Buddhist teachings - the golden lotus of the twelfth rank of merit, but the golden lotus in Yang Tuo's hand is only of the third rank.

When Yang Tuo saw the demons around him, he was swept away.Then he handed the golden lotus to Lao Tzu, and said: "The sage is above, there are many demons in the sky, and Bo Xun, the demon king of the desire realm, will make a move in person. I'm afraid it's not good for Daoist Duobao!"

"I got this golden lotus by chance. It has immeasurable merits. It is the nemesis of demons. Maybe it will be of some benefit to Fellow Daoist Duobao!"
