Sword Qi of the heavens

Chapter 521 Buddha’s Discussion of Dharma
Western Paradise.

The Buddha opened the door to convenience and taught the Dharma.

Li Changlan sat cross-legged on a lotus not far from Guanyin Bodhisattva, listening quietly to the Buddha's explanation of the Dharma. His eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he could not see any specific thoughts.

but.

The golden light radiating from Li Changlan's body became more and more intense.

The peaceful and calm aura is becoming more and more pure, rising at an astonishing speed. It has even surpassed the large number of Arhats and Bodhisattvas around it, and is about to approach the Buddhas.

Guanyin Bodhisattva glanced at Li Changlan beside him with a smile on his face.

"Good, the heavenly master really has a predestined relationship with my Buddha. He has understood the Buddha Dharma so quickly, right down to the fundamentals. He is not far away from attaining the Buddhahood. It is almost just around the corner."

"It seems that I should no longer call you Heavenly Master, but Buddha."

Li Changlan has listened to the sutra for a long time and has a more detailed understanding of the true meaning of Buddhism.

No emphasis on magic, no emphasis on body.

Not even reborn or dead.

All cultivation is based on the word heart.

There are many similarities with the content taught by his teacher, Patriarch Bodhi, but because of this, he feels more and more doubts in his heart.

In Buddhism, there are many subtle things.

It seems that some are simply contradictory?
He raised his head and looked at the Guanyin Bodhisattva beside him, feeling his head feel hot for some reason.

"Bodhisattva, is it true that there is a rumor about the Collarbone Bodhisattva among the people?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva's smile faded and she took a deep look at Li Changlan.

It's been a long time.

Guanyin Bodhisattva slowly spoke: "Why did you think of asking this question?"

Li Changlan frowned and said, "I know that form is both emptiness and form. I also understand that sometimes when you want to completely ban something, one way is to control it, and the other way is to manipulate it, but I still feel that something is wrong."

"Is this true, or is it fabricated by the world, or is Monk Hu using illusions?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Li Changlan quietly and chuckled: "That's not important. What's important is how people view this story and how the people in the story are affected."

heard.

Li Changlan was thoughtful.

As for the deeds of the Bodhisattva Collarbone Bodhisattva, it seems a bit deviant...

A beautiful woman in her twenties wandered the streets all day long, joking and playing with men. At night, the two shared a bed, almost all of whom came.

Everyone thought that this woman was a promiscuous person.

until shortly after.

The woman died of a sudden illness.

Those men who had some relationship with him during his lifetime gathered some money and buried him on the roadside. It was such a plain story.

some time passed.

Here we happened to meet a Hu monk who paid homage to his tomb, which made the onlookers puzzled as to why he did this to a lewd and despicable woman.

He actually said bluntly that this woman was transformed by a Bodhisattva to enlighten all living beings.

Everyone didn't believe it. After opening the coffin, they thought that the woman's withered bones were actually slowly locked together in the shape of a lock, so they all paid homage to her.

This is also where the sayings about Collar Bone Bodhisattva and physical charity come from.

This story is too disrespectful to the Bodhisattva, but if it is compiled by boring scholars, the scope of transmission and records are too wide.

Li Changlan thought for a moment, stood up and took the initiative to come to the Buddha.

Tathagata Buddha looked at Li Changlan and smiled slightly.

Li Changlan looked quietly into Tathagata Buddha's eyes and asked, "Excuse me, Buddha. Buddhists have banned killing and emphasized compassion. So what if there are monsters causing trouble and wandering around in the world?" Tathagata Buddha calmly said: " In my Buddhist school, we also have the Angry-Eyed Vajra, which specializes in descending on all demons and monsters in the world, and Guanyin Bodhisattva will also transform into a ghost king and live in hell."

"My Buddhist philosophy emphasizes compassion and refraining from killing. It's advice, not prohibition."

"If there are extremely evil people who cannot be influenced, I, a Buddhist, should also take action. I am definitely not someone who is stubborn in dogma and does not know how to adapt."

Li Changlan nodded slightly and asked, "Then, what do Buddhists think about the theory of reincarnation based on good and evil?"

Tathagata Buddha listened to Li Changlan's question and smiled softly.

He raised his hand casually, and golden lotuses with bright golden light appeared out of thin air, floating slowly in the surrounding space, emitting bursts of strong Buddha light.

"You are a smart man, and you have learned the true meaning of Buddhism and Taoism."

"I know you want to ask, if a person is persecuted, why do you sometimes say that this person is the evil consequences planted in the previous life and should pay for it in this life, and sometimes you say that the person who caused persecution to him , committed a sin and should pay it back in the next life."

"With your level, you should have confirmed the theory of human reincarnation long ago."

"It is not important to judge whether a person has been persecuted or is caused by karma. What is important is how people in the world should go and see."

"With our strength, we can verify it at will."

"But for ordinary people, they don't see cause and effect, they don't see karma, they only focus on their personal immediate views, they are obsessed by their hearts, and they don't see the truth. They are easily confused and unable to distinguish the truth."

It is clear that Li Changlan is rejuvenating China.

It turns out that Buddhism also has a saying about root vessels...

For people with different qualifications, different methods should be chosen.

Those who are kind-hearted, just tell them what they should do and what they should not do.

Those who are mediocre in nature should be encouraged to do good deeds and warned not to do evil deeds.

As for those with ugly natures, they are severely punished for the evil they have done, and rewards are used to stimulate them to do good deeds.

This method of dividing people into three classes is quite similar to Taoism.

"Excuse me, Buddha, is this the same difference between mantras and sutras?" Li Changlan continued to ask.

"This is probably the difference between the explicit and secret spells. If the spells are translated directly, those people who know that the true meaning of the spells are just ordinary prayer words will inevitably have doubts."

Buddha nodded slightly and answered Li Changlan's questions one by one.

"However, the spell is not just that."

"Oh? Are you asking for Buddha's advice?" Li Changlan raised his eyebrows, wanting to ask for more information.

"The characters of the Tang Dynasty in China are derived from patterns. They pay the most attention to outward direction, so there are many kinds of calligraphy. Taoist talismans are also in order to match the Yunzhuan Taixu and communicate with each other. This Yunzhuan is specially passed down. Plant words.”

"And most of my Buddhist mantras are Sanskrit sounds, and the most important thing is the sound."

The Buddha smiled softly, and then recited a mantra.

Immediately.

A strong shock echoed in Li Changlan's mind.

"There are sounds in heaven and earth, but unfortunately people are agitated and can no longer calm down and hear the sounds of all things in the world."

"You once had a Zhuangzi who wrote a book and said that the four directions above and below are called the universe, and the past and present are called the universe. And at the beginning of the universe, there was the original sound."

"Among them, there are three sounds that are the most important."

The Buddha changed his formula and raised his hand to pinch.

Three mysterious seed words appeared in front of Li Changlan.

Li Changlan looked at these three extremely familiar words with a dazed look on his face.

"Om, ah, hum..."
