Journey to the West Bandits: The Poor Monk Just Wants to Be a Godfather

"Teacher, the treasure trove of heaven is still with Tathagata Buddha, and he was directly demoted to the mortal world. This loss..."

Seeing Tathagata Buddha directly descending to the realm, Medicine Buddha suddenly became anxious.

Although the absence of Tathagata Buddha would be of great benefit to his development in Buddhism.

But the premise is that Tathagata Buddha leaves the heavenly treasure house in Buddhism.

Otherwise, if he is left with a clean Buddhist door, what is the point of being the World Honored One?

"It doesn't matter, I'll punish him to the lower world and suffer the sufferings of the mortal world. It won't be long before he can't bear it anymore and has to hand over the treasure trove of heaven."

Saint Zhunti waved his hand very confidently.

When gods and Buddhas make mistakes, the greatest punishment is to be demoted to the mortal world.

It shows what a miserable place the mortal world is.

Coupled with the fact that Tathagata Buddha had his cultivation level sealed by him, Saint Zhunti was confident that he would never be able to endure this suffering!

But what Saint Zhunti doesn’t know is...

Tathagata Buddha and Happy Buddha have been surviving on the desert island in the lower realm for a month, and they have already endured the more miserable days.

For the Tathagata Buddha who has survived the calamity, the current life in the mortal world is not about suffering at all, but about enjoying happiness!

Nether.

In a slightly dilapidated temple.

An old monk wearing faded cassocks was sitting above the main hall giving lectures.

Not far away from him, there were seven or eight monks sitting upright, each of them looking solemn and very serious.

Boom!

There was a loud noise from the ceiling of the main hall, and dust suddenly flew up, choking the monks who were giving lectures and covering their noses.

Then a figure fell heavily.

After screaming, Tathagata Buddha, who had lost his cultivation, fell asleep from the pain.

Fortunately, during the month of survival on the desert island, Tathagata Buddha's physical fitness was very good, so he didn't suffer any fractures or other problems.

Inside the temple.

All the monks were stunned and had no idea what was happening.

The old abbot who was sitting in front of him and giving lectures coughed several times due to the dust and patted his chest with lingering fear.

"Amitabha, it was so dangerous, so dangerous, and I almost didn't pass away."

Wait until the dust and smoke clears.

The monks then raised their heads, wanting to see clearly what was going on.

Right in front of the Buddha statue enshrined in the main hall, I saw a monk with green skin and short hair, his eyes closed as if he was asleep.

He was wearing a cassock and had a string of rosary beads around his neck.

This look makes him look like a Buddhist.

Sleeping Arhat?

The monks in the main hall simultaneously thought of Sleeping Arhat, an important figure in Buddhism.

Because their temple is called Luohan Temple, and it is the Eighteen Arhats of Buddhism that are enshrined.

At this moment, suddenly a bald head fell from the sky.

And he fell asleep.

Naturally, I think of Sleeping Arhat.

"Amitabha, we sincerely worship the Buddha and finally moved the Buddha!"

The old abbot looked around Tathagata Buddha with excitement on his face.

"That's right, look at those well-developed biceps, he's probably the legendary Sleeping Arhat!"

Other monks immediately gathered around.

Carefully look at the legendary Sleeping Arhat.

They have been fasting and chanting Buddha's name for so long, and this is the first time they have seen the Buddha appear.

Sleeping Arhat is indeed a sleeping Arhat.

I know how to sleep every day.

Even though he fell from such a high place and even broke the roof of the hall, he was still sleeping soundly.

Could it be that he fell to death?

Some disciples suddenly changed their expressions and hurriedly told the abbot this idea.

The old abbot was also slightly stunned. After he realized what he was doing, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and put his hand between Tathagata Buddha's breath. He found that he was still breathing. "I'll wait to see the Sleeping Arhat!"

The old abbot quickly led a group of monks to kneel on the ground and shouted with all his strength.

I hope to wake up the sleeping Arhat from his dream, and also to save believers like them.

However, Tathagata Buddha didn't know whether he was really dozing off or because he fell too hard from the sky. He couldn't hear the outside sound at all at this moment.

The snores started to sound.

Occasionally there were some clenching sounds.

This is exactly the bad habit forced out of me by Happy Buddha when I was trying to survive on a desert island!

On the desert island, he and Huanxi Buddha were both mortals without any cultivation.

At night, when the Buddha of Joy could not suppress his dual cultivation, Tathagata Buddha reduced his desire by snoring, grinding his teeth and farting.

Over time, this bad habit was retained.

The monks in the main hall looked at each other, and finally looked at the old abbot.

"See Sleeping Arhat!"

The old abbot bowed loudly again.

However, there was still no movement from Tathagata Buddha.

He seemed to be completely immersed in sleep, unmoved by any sounds from the outside world.

After shouting twice, there was no response. The old abbot thought for a while and couldn't let the sleeping arhat sleep here.

So I called a few disciples to come over, lifted Tathagata Buddha up, and prepared to place him in the Zen room.

"Who dares to attack me? I am the Tathagata Buddha of Buddhism!"

"I was a Buddhist World-Honored One before, and I will be a Buddhist World-Honored One in the future!"

Tathagata Buddha said something as if he was talking in his sleep.

Several disciples turned pale with fright, and their calves began to tremble.

Tathagata Buddha, who had been lifted up, fell down again.

The old abbot's face also turned pale.

I took a closer look at Tathagata Buddha and compared it with the statue of Sleeping Arhat in the main hall. It really didn't look like a Sleeping Arhat.

The sleeping arhat on the sculpture seems to be taller and thinner.

And the Buddha in front of me, if you look carefully, does look a bit like the legendary Tathagata Buddha.

It is very similar to the sculptures in other temples.

It’s just that the sculptures in the temple are a little fatter, and the Buddha in front of me is a little thinner.

Maybe the Buddha has lost weight recently?

"Abbott, what should we do?" the disciple asked, trembling with fear.

The old abbot pondered for a moment: "No matter what his identity is, at least he is a member of our Buddhist sect, how can he lie down in this hall rashly?"

"You guys should carry him to the meditation room and let him rest there until he wakes up."

The old abbot spoke, and several disciples pulled him up with great effort and carried him to the Zen room.

For a whole night, the abbot did not dare to sleep and stayed in the Zen room himself.

I hope to wait until Tathagata Buddha wakes up so that his identity can be fully confirmed.

Damn!

Tathagata Buddha shouted softly and sat up.

He rubbed his aching head.

When the old abbot heard the voice of Tathagata Buddha, he knelt down in a hurry and said tentatively: "See the Buddha!"

It doesn’t matter whether he is a sleeping arhat or a Buddha.

Anyway, you are a Buddhist believer in the mortal world. As long as you say you want to see the Buddha, even if the other person is not the Buddha, there is no problem.

After all, a bald donkey who doesn’t want to be a Buddha is not a good monk!

But if the person in front of you is really the Buddha, and if you say you want to meet the Arhat, then that will be a problem!

Tathagata Buddha opened his eyes and glanced at him: "Who are you?"

"For the record, Buddha, I am the abbot of this Luohan Temple!" the old abbot explained respectfully.

But my heart was filled with shock.

Damn it? !

Could it be that he is really the Buddha? (End of chapter)
