Chapter 696
Chichi~~~
Lingshan Holy Land, Posa Grove, is where the Sandalwood Merit Buddha arrived.
The blazing fire of karma burned, illuminating the sacred mountain with a scarlet color.
Many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were terrified when faced with this karmic fire. They retreated far away, fearing that they would be contaminated by it in the slightest.
Karma fire is the fire that burns the body due to evil karma.
When a living being enters the cycle of reincarnation, the fire of karma will ignite, which will eliminate the sins and merits of a lifetime, and allow one to come and go in peace.
The karmic fire of ordinary mortals naturally cannot harm these Buddhas in the slightest.
However, the karmic fire here was the nirvana of a Buddha, his golden body was shattered, the cause and effect of ten lives were superimposed, and the cause and effect of past and present lives all turned into karmic fire and burned.
The blood-red flames illuminated most of the sacred mountain.
It also cast a red glow on the changeable faces of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Vajras.
This fire does not destroy everything and does not harm the void!
However, those Buddhists who were not sufficiently skilled in cultivation only took a glance and turned away, not daring to look again.
They just took a look from a distance, and it seemed as if there was a fire burning in their hearts. It was very strange.
Some monks with great concentration had already closed their eyes, sat cross-legged and chanted scriptures, not daring to look up.
Buddhism emphasizes laying down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha right away. In Lingshan, there are many monsters who slaughtered cities and destroyed countries and laid down their butcher knives!
Their sins are far more serious than those of others. If they take one look at the red lotus fire, they will be burned.
"Ah! No, what is this?"
"It hurts so much, it hurts so much! Help me, help me!"
"Oh no!"
As the karmic fire flickered, cries of surprise were heard from all over Lingshan.
However, there were people who used their magical powers to spy on the Buddha's Fire of Silence from afar, and their own sins were aroused by the karmic fire!
But in just a moment, the screams disappeared, and not even a trace of ash was left where the flames burned.
Everyone then realized the consequences and was horrified, yet they did not dare to even look at the raging fire.
"Karma fire is the fire of the heart. Once a thought arises, the karmic fire burns fiercely."
Looking at the blazing fires of karma burning in various places on Lingshan Mountain, an old monk sat down and sighed softly:
"If I don't have any thoughts, what use will the fire of karma have on me?"
buzzing~~~
As he sighed softly, the karmic fires of all the Buddhist guardians who were burned by the karmic fire in various places in Lingshan were extinguished, and could no longer burn their bodies and spirits.
There are many methods in the Jambu world to avoid the fire of karma, but knowing is easier said than done. Even Arhats and Bodhisattvas have troubles and cannot be pure.
Absolute emptiness, like infinity, is a concept that seems to be within reach but can never be achieved.
But at this moment, after the old monk chanted, even the karmic fire seemed to have lost its target.
This old monk's cultivation, Taoism, and meditation are among the top ten even among the Buddhas in Lingshan.
"Praise to Medicine Master Lapis Lazuli Light Tathagata!"
The sound of chanting could be heard from all over Lingshan.
Obviously, this old monk is the leader of the Eastern Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
When he was practicing the Bodhisattva path in the past, he made twelve great vows, vowing to relieve the suffering of all sentient beings, to enable them to have all the faculties necessary to attain liberation. Therefore, he became a Buddha based on these vows.
Living in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, the land is majestic, like the Land of Ultimate Bliss!
Medicine Buddha listened to the chanting and praising sounds coming from all over Lingshan without any joy on his face. Instead, he looked at the traces left by at least a thousand burning karmic fires and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
At that time, the land of the West was barren. In order to revive the sect, the two saints personally took action to convert the twenty-four heavenly guardians and the eight groups of heavenly dragons...
During the time of the Conferred Gods Tribulation, he led three thousand mortals from the Jiejiao sect into Lingshan, and Buddhism flourished as a result.
However, this also leads to the fact that the Buddhas in Lingshan are of varying quality. Many Buddhas are in the Buddhist sect, but they have not let go of the greed, anger, and ignorance in their hearts. Although they are called Buddhas, in fact, in the eyes of Medicine Buddha, these people are no different from demons.
The Jiejiao sect, when tens of thousands of immortals came to make the pilgrimage, was so glorious, but it collapsed overnight, wasn’t it because its disciples had bad character and committed so many murders?
Since the rise of the Journey to the West, Buddhism has been on a downward spiral.
The two saints went to the chaos. Without the saint in charge, although there were Buddhas in Lingshan to suppress the fortune, how long could this glory last?
Can Maitreya really support Lingshan?
Looking at the blazing karmic fire, Medicine Buddha sighed in his heart and recited scriptures softly to see Sandalwood Merit Buddha off.
The causes and effects of ten lifetimes have all turned into burning karmic fire. It seems that the seed of Mahayana Buddhism of this later Buddha has truly been extinguished.
It's not reincarnation, but there is no real spirit at all!
I just don't know who could be so brutal!
Chi chi chi~~~
The burning fire of karma boiled and rolled, and after a long time, it gradually subsided.
Everyone looked over and saw that the swaying forest was still swaying in the wind, still beautiful, with pomegranate flowers blooming. The pure land was fragrant.
In the Polo Flower Garden, there are many Zen temples, towering pagodas, gurgling water, and singing birds, as if the karmic fire just now did not exist.
In the swaying forest, on a cushion, a brocade cassock was folded, and the moon-white monk's robe scattered under the cassock was stained scarlet blood.
In front of the cushion, there was a nine-gift Zen staff that was also stained red with Buddha’s blood!
However, the Buddha, as gentle as jade, will never be seen again.
"Good, good!"
Time seems to have stopped at this moment.
A trace of compassion flashed in Medicine Buddha's eyes, and he put his hands together and said, "Good! Good!
I have gone through countless kalpas.
Beyond ten trillion Buddha lands.
I have gone through countless kalpas.
It shines on all the ten directions without any obstruction.
I have gone through countless kalpas.
There are as many Buddhas as the sands of the Ganges.
I have gone through countless kalpas.
The supreme, profound, perfect and equal enlightenment!
Good, good!
Praise the Sandalwood Merit Buddha! "
A group of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas also chanted the scriptures along with Sandalwood Merit Buddha. For a while, the Sanskrit sounds were loudly sung in Lingshan, the sounds of Buddhist chants and Zen chants were floating in the air, and the Buddha's light illuminated the three realms.
.........
In the netherworld, outside the sea of blood, an old monk sat in a small temple on the top of the Iron Wall Mountain, chanting the Sutra of the Original Vow to save the souls of the dead.
At its feet lies a sacred beast with a tiger head, one horn, dog ears, a dragon body, a lion tail, and unicorn feet. It looks like a dragon but not a dragon, a tiger but not a tiger, a lion but not a lion, a unicorn but not a unicorn, and a dog but not a dog.
"Golden Cicada is annihilated!"
This nine-like sacred beast suddenly raised its head and made a sound like a dragon's roar or a lion's roar.
"The heavens and the earth have a lifespan, let alone humans!"
The old monk drooped his eyelids, and his withered face was full of compassion:
"This is the disaster for Jin Chanzi."
"It wasn't Miroku and the others who did it!"
The holy beast raised its head and shook its big head.
“Do you know the cause and effect?” The old monk lowered his eyes and looked at the holy beast.
A trace of fear flashed in the holy beast's eyes, and its head shook violently.
"It cannot be said, it cannot be said, there is great terror!"
"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me!" The old monk had no intention of pursuing the matter, but said calmly.
The holy beast looked up at the old monk:
"With the death of Jin Chanzi, Lingshan Mahayana Buddhism has lost its backbone. Aren't you tempted?"
The old monk shook his head and said with a smile:
"Using the position of Buddha, gathering infinite incense and spiritual power, and achieving the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, this is the path of the World Honored One, Maitreya, and Jin Chanzi, not mine.
All I wish for is that there is no devil in hell. My path is under my feet, not in Lingshan Mountain!"
"Buddhism is in trouble!"
The holy beast seemed to be aware of something and said something while shaking its head.
"It is only the fate of Jin Chanzi, not the fate of Buddha."
The old monk clasped his hands together, neither sad nor happy:
"Golden Cicada is not the leader of Mahayana Buddhism after all.
Maitreya Buddha is not the Lord Buddha either, both Mahayana Buddhism and Theravada Buddhism are Buddhist sects."
"It's just a matter of sectarianism."
The holy beast shook his head.
Over the past many kalpas, Buddhism has long lost its former glory, so there is no need to talk about the sectarian views between Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism.
The old monk corrected:
"This is a fight over the Dao. What they are fighting for is not power, but the Dao of Hunyuan! Only by taking that position can they get a glimpse of the Dao of Hunyuan..."
The holy beast stopped talking. The Way of Hunyuan was not something it could evaluate!
Countless kalpas ago, Buddhism was not called Buddhism, but was called Western Religion, also known as Hinayana Buddhism.
The Tathagata is only the founder of Mahayana Buddhism, not the Buddha himself.
Just like Maitreya today, he is only the ancestor of Theravada Buddhism.
Ancient Buddhas such as Ksitigarbha, Vipaśyin, Bhaisajyaguru, etc. are all Hinayana Buddhists.
"Amitabha!"
The old monk put his hands together, and boundless Buddha light burst out, illuminating the eighteen levels of the netherworld. The boundless Buddha sound rang out in billions of void dimensions:
"Good! Good!
I have gone through countless kalpas and passed through ten trillion Buddha lands.
I have gone through countless kalpas.
It shines on all the ten directions without any obstruction.
I have gone through countless kalpas.
There are as many Buddhas as the sands of the Ganges.
I have gone through countless kalpas.
The supreme, profound, perfect and equal enlightenment!
Good, good!
Praise the Sandalwood Merit Buddha! "
The fire of karma at Lingshan burned for forty-nine days, and the Buddhist light and Zen chanting at Lingshan to bury the Sandalwood Merit Buddha also lasted for forty-nine days.
The three realms were raining blood, and the strange phenomenon in Lingshan attracted the attention of one powerful person after another.
Even above the thirty-three heavens, there seemed to be eyes cast downward.
"Amitabha!"
When the Buddha Maitreya, who had rushed back to Lingshan from the border of the world outside the Three Realms, saw the blood-stained monk's robes in the Zen forest, he couldn't help but chant the Buddha's name.
"Amitabha!"
In front of Maitreya, an old monk was twirling his prayer beads, with a worried look on his face: "Buddha, there are some troubles..."
The old monk is the ancient Vipaśyin Buddha of Theravada Buddhism, one of the seven ancient Buddhas of Buddhism. He was also a Buddhist venerable who existed when Jie Yin and Zhunti founded the Western Religion.
When the Tathagata transformed Western religion into Buddhism, all the ancient Buddhas retired.
Jie Yin and Zhunti also sat in the Heaven Beyond Heaven and contemplated the mysteries of heaven and earth. Since then, Canposyi Buddha rarely appeared in Buddhism.
But the status and position of Vipaśyin Buddha is there.
In Lingshan, except for the Tathagata and Dipankara Buddha, the other Buddhas are much younger than him in terms of seniority, even the Tathagata Maitreya.
In the Pure Land of Buddhism, all Buddhas are equal. The so-called seniority, qualifications, cultivation, realm, etc. are just comparisons made by mortals.
But it also shows the status and power of Vipaśyin Buddha.
When the Buddha Tathagata reincarnated to overcome the calamity, it involved the ancient Buddhist secrets.
Vipaśyin Buddha and many ancient Buddhas also contributed their efforts.
The ancient Buddha relics that the Buddha needed for his return included the three contributed by Vipaśyin Buddha.
The two saints went to the Chaos Sea to pursue the great way, but Vipaśyin Buddha did not go with them. Instead, he was left behind by the two saints in Lingshan to take charge.
Now that Maitreya is the Buddha of Lingshan, the Hinayana Buddhist Canposyin Buddha has also come out to help!
"This happened at Lingshan, it's my incompetence!"
Maitreya's face twitched, as if he remembered something.
“Although the Mahayana Buddhism supports Sandalwood Merit Buddha, his cultivation still needs to be polished. I have calculated that within 5.6 billion years, he will not be able to compete with me!
I originally intended to let Sandalwood Merit Buddha take the position of future Buddha to lead the Mahayana Buddhism, but I never thought that he would suddenly encounter such a disaster."
Maitreya Buddha did not lower his voice when he spoke these words; all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist temples and Zen monasteries across Lingshan could hear his heartfelt words.
This is also Maitreya's way of proving himself, otherwise it might sow the seeds of the disaster of Lingshan's division.
"He dared to murder the Sandalwood Merit Buddha in the sacred land of Lingshan. This thief's cultivation is probably not inferior to that of Kinnara in the past! The Buddha's Dharma Eye can search through the three realms and can figure out this person's origins!"
A Buddha put his palms together and bowed to Maitreya, humbly asking for advice.
Maitreya sighed, "When Sandalwood Merit Buddha passed away, the tide of chaos affected the Jambu world, and I had to rush to the edge of the world, but I didn't expect someone to take advantage of me!
I just searched the three realms, but I couldn't find the murderer who killed Sandalwood Merit Buddha!"
"Amitabha!" The Buddha put his hands together.
He naturally knew how powerful the Chaos Tide Disaster was, and he also knew how to prioritize.
"This thief is vicious, I'm afraid he is coming for our Buddhist sect."
Canposyi Buddha did not hide the worry on his face and spoke slowly.
Even without the two saints, there is Maitreya, the Buddha who has one foot halfway into the Primordial Chaos.
Ziposhi Buddha also felt somewhat uneasy in his heart. The demon had dared to commit crimes in Lingshan, so he must have some big plans.
Vipaśyin Buddha couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Could it be another Kinnara?
When Kinnara rebelled against the Buddha and turned into a demon, the shadows of these ancient Buddhas were also behind it.
That year, Kinnara returned with great force, defeated the Five Great Vidyarajas in one battle, and forced Tathagata Prajnaparamita to flee and reincarnate. Vipaśyin Buddha still remembered his tyranny and domineering behavior.
It is because they are worried that Kinnara will seek revenge on them that these ancient Buddhas have contributed their golden body relics obtained through hard practice to lend a helping hand to Duobao, the leader of Mahayana Buddhism!
"What the ancient Buddha said is true, but don't worry, the Buddha's teachings are boundless, and Lingshan Mountain cannot be shaken by a mere demon."
Buddha Maitreya had a kind face, but his mood was extremely bad.
You must know that in order to sit on the throne of the World Honored One, one must rely on the World Honored One's fruit position at Lingshan to break through the Hunyuan.
Since the day when Duobao attained Buddhahood, he has endured countless kalpas in the position of the future Buddha.
After Duobao finally achieved Nirvana, he became the Buddha of Lingshan, but before he could even get comfortable in his seat, a huge pot was put on his head.
If it weren't for his state of mind, he would have been so angry that he would have turned into the Angry King.
…………
Lingshan is 48,000 feet wide and 48,000 feet high.
There are seven floors, and there are relics on every floor. The Buddha's light shines everywhere, day and night, making the entire pure land bright.
Inside the Great Hall on the top of Lingshan Mountain, the Four Vajras are guarding outside the hall.
Suddenly, there was auspicious sound and Buddhist light. The Vajra on duty looked up and saw that it was a golden arhat coming from the distant Pure Land. When he arrived at the foot of Lingshan, he bowed several times and went up the stairs step by step.
The Vajra on duty recognized the visitor as the Eight Treasures Golden Body Arhat, a disciple of Sandalwood Merit Buddha!
His predecessor was the curtain-lifting general in front of the Emperor of Heaven. Although he was only a golden-bodied arhat, his cultivation was profound and was not inferior to that of an ordinary great bodhisattva.
The Sandalwood Buddha has attained nirvana, so it is natural for this person to come here.
Several Vajras quickly saluted and made way for him.
In the distance, Buddha's light was lingering, auspicious clouds were forming, and many Zen masters came together.
Zen Master Bodhidharma, and his disciples Huineng Bodhisattva, Shenxiu Bodhisattva, Nagarjuna Bodhisattva, Deva Bodhisattva, Baoshu Bodhisattva, and the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons and Guangli Bodhisattva...
The Bodhisattvas of all the major sects came here with their disciples.
Inside the Mahavira Hall, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas took their seats.
"Why can't I see Second Brother?" Bodhisattva of the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons asked the Arhat with the Eight Treasures Golden Body.
The Eight Treasures Golden Body Arhat shook his head and said, "I haven't seen him either. Maybe he was delayed by something!"
A Zen chant resounded through the air, and the two looked at each other, speechless...
During the Zen chanting, the entire Lingshan Pure Land came to a standstill and everything stopped moving.
After a long time, a golden light rose from the top of the golden lotus platform and enveloped the entire Lingshan Mountain in an instant. The 48,000 relics on the Lingshan Mountain became brighter and brighter.
A golden light flashed, and a Buddha appeared on the lotus platform.
The Buddha Maitreya sat down and chanted: "It is a pity that the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit passed away and saved the world again. I will not let him turn. You should practice in a pure way and accumulate those 100,000 merits. Then you can be promoted to a great position and achieve the right result."
Everyone put their hands together and said, "Buddha, have mercy on me!"
In Lingshan, Maitreya was preaching, the sky was full of white rainbows holding up the relics, celestial maidens were scattering flowers, and celestial dragons were surrounding, and the strange phenomenon spread throughout the three realms!
Facing Lingshan's flex of muscle, some people in the three realms of Yama sneered, while others were horrified...
The golden-winged Roc dressed in golden clothes took a deep look at the main hall, then turned into a ray of golden light and flew away.
He was going to find someone, or to be more precise, a pig.
At the foot of Lingshan Mountain, in the Temple of the Purifier of the Altar, the Purifier of the Altar Bodhisattva collapsed on the ground in an imageless manner, with sweat all over his body.
Whenever he thought of the scene just now, his heart couldn't stop beating wildly.
When Sandalwood Merit Buddha got into trouble, he was right beside him. He was pestering the old monk to give him his rake.
Then I saw that endless and bizarre coverage, above the long river of time and space, there was a sudden shock, and countless time and space were thrown up like drops of water.
Endless tides of chaos rose up and converged above time, forming an indescribable giant finger.
mainland?
world?
universe?
The size of that finger was beyond his imagination, spanning thousands or tens of millions of universes, and it was incredibly majestic.
Just thinking back on it, the altar purifier's hair stood on end...
That finger seemed to span across time and cover the entire universe. Its power was unparalleled. He knelt down immediately.
He watched helplessly as the endless river of time and space roared and shook.
Then, four equally huge fingers rose in the four directions, cutting off the flow of the long river of time and space, and holding the cheap master in their palms.
Zhu Bajie still had some feelings for this cheap master, but after hesitating for a moment, he still did not take action.
Because, I can't attack and I can't make a move.
He had no idea where the person was, who the enemy was, or what realm he was in. If he took action, he would probably be courting death!
Therefore, he forced himself to suppress the urge to take action.
Watching the palm covering endless time and space,
He held the old monk in his palm.
"Good, good! This disaster happened because of my greed. I cannot blame anyone else!"
This was also the last time he heard the old monk's chattering. (End of this chapter)
