Journey to the West: People are in heaven, working from nine to five

Chapter 1681 Chu Hao: Amitabha, I accept it

As soon as the Shadow Demon said this, everyone was shocked. At this moment, everyone was even more impressed by the Dharma in it.

This verse of the Shadow Demon is an extremely sharp rebuttal, especially the best refutation of the lofty posture of the ancient Buddha of Deng Deng just now,

As the shadow demon said, Bodhi has no tree: Bodhi is the path to enlightenment, so what kind of tree does it have?
  If there is a tree, then Bodhi becomes an object and becomes attached to. Bodhi originally has nothing. You say you are Buddha Dharma and you are enlightened, but what does enlightenment look like? Is it cyan? yellow? red? White? Just give it a try and see that it is formless and formless.

The Shadow Demon also said that "a bright mirror is not a platform", which is also a fundamental denial of the Dharma of the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng:
  You say that the mind is like a mirror, but in fact there is no platform at all. If there is a platform, there will be attachments. As the saying goes, "There should be no place to live, and the mind should be born." Why does there need to be a platform?

"There is nothing in the beginning": There is nothing in the beginning, and there is no appearance, nor a picture, or a form, so there is nothing at all.

Since there is no bodhi tree and there is no so-called bright mirror, then why do you, the ancient Buddha of Lantern, call yourself bodhi and bright mirror?

The ancient Buddha of Ran Deng was at a loss for words by the shadow demon's verse, and was even a little embarrassed. However, he was afraid that a demon would ruin his Buddhist attainments, so he gritted his teeth and cursed:
  "You filthy monster, what do you know about Buddhism! Stop talking nonsense here. If Bodhi is not a tree, how can there be a supreme avenue? If a mirror is not a stand, how can there be a paradise in the heart?!"

The ancient Buddha of Ran Deng is indeed a bit sophistical. He puts the Dharma in front of him because of the Supreme Way and the existence of all bodhi trees. It means that everyone has the Paradise in their hearts and longs for the Dharma, so they can maintain the bright mirror, which proves the location of the bright mirror.

Although this doesn't sound wrong, if you think about it seriously, it still feels wrong.

The Shadow Demon chuckled lightly, clasped his hands together like an old monk, lowered his eyes, and did not respond directly. He just recited a sentence,
  "Buddha Ran Deng, you are possessed."

The Ran Deng Ancient Buddha's eyes widened instantly, he was panting like an ox, and his expression was a little more angry.
  "You, I told you, you filthy monster, don't stop slandering the Buddha and slandering the Dharma here. If you talk about the Dharma, it will be a humiliation to me, Xitian, and a stain on the Dharma!"

At this moment, the appearance of the ancient Buddha of Burning Deng is extremely strange. He does not have the high-spirited, upright and kind-hearted Buddhas in the past. Instead, he is just paranoid about maintaining his own Dharma attainments and reprimanding monsters for no reason.

Even Guanyin Bodhisattva and Listening could smell something amiss, but due to the high status of the Ancient Buddha, no one dared to remind him.

However, not only was the Shadow Demon not afraid of the ferocious questioning of the Deng Deng Ancient Buddha, he chuckled lightly,
  "Buddha Ran Deng, what you just said, called the Bodhi Mirror, is because you have worries in your heart and are turning your dreams upside down. As you said, it's still true.

The mind is neither born nor destroyed. When encountering a situation, it seems that the situation disappears and disappears. The reason why there are worries and dust in the heart is just because the heart is obsessed with the superficial appearance of everything in the world.

Therefore, people will have troubles, which will lead to greed, anger, and ignorance. They will not be able to understand their mind and see their nature, and gain true freedom. This is enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. Although it is called Bodhi, there is no Bodhi.

Little do you know that the mind has no dwelling place and no worries, that is, there is no mind and no dust, no mind and no dust. This is a bright mirror, and there is no bright mirror.

Therefore, once you have entered the true path, it is called attaining the path; although it is called attaining the path, you actually gain nothing! Although it is called the Supreme Way, there is actually no true way, no Bodhi, no mirror, and no Ultimate Bliss. All sentient beings have the wisdom and virtue of the Tathagata, but they cannot achieve it through delusion and persistence. They are obsessed with the Bodhi Mirror, obsessed with the Dharma, and obsessed with the land of Lingshan.
  This is the appearance! "

Listening to the words of the Shadow Demon, the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng felt more and more blood surge in his heart.

What the shadow demon said pointed directly at the demon deep in his heart!
  He is saying that he is obsessed with proving Bodhi and enlightenment, but he has never thought about enlightenment, that is, no anger, no anger, no fighting, and if he strives to prove Bodhi, he has lost Bodhi;
  And he claims that his heart is a mirror, and also says that the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss exists, so the Pure Land is the mirror in his heart, but the shadow demon goes to the core. He is just greedy and arrogant in announcing that the Pure Land is the mirror in his heart, but he doesn't even know that the mirror is Heartless and dust-free,
  Since there is no mind and no dust, then how can we talk about the pure land?

What's even more amazing is that once you enter the true way, it is called attaining the path. Although it is called attaining the path, you actually gain nothing!
  This sentence directly uses Taoism to destroy Buddhism.
  To put it bluntly, although the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng claimed that Buddhism was supreme, in fact, the true enlightenment was nothing.

There is no way for the ancient Buddha to refuse, because this is consistent with Buddhism.
  The so-called relics, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and the same is true for feeling, thinking and knowing. Relics are all dharmas that are empty, neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing.

He was obsessed with proving and announcing his Bodhi and Bright Mirror, but a few words from the Shadow Demon hit all his inner demons.
  The more the Ancient Buddha of Ran Deng listened, the angrier he became. The angrier he became, the more he thought. The more he thought, the more anxious he became. The more anxious he became, the more angry he became. The more angry he became, the more he wanted to refute, but he found in panic that he
  I’m obsessed with it!
  The ancient Buddha of Ran Deng wanted to speak, but the moment he spoke, blood rushed into his heart and he spat out a mouthful of golden blood!

"puff!"

"Randeng Buddha!"

"Buddha!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva and Ting Ting rushed forward to support the Ancient Buddha. They were confused as to why a shadow demon's Dharma was so profound that even the Ancient Buddha was vomiting blood from the discussion!
  The ancient Buddha of Ran Deng was pale and looked ugly. Standing in the sky, he looked like a dying man. The illness in his heart had already welled up in his heart.

He was supposed to be the supreme Buddha who ascended the supreme throne in the past. In the past, the ancient Buddha of Lighting Deng prophesied for Sakyamuni Buddha, predicting that he would become a Buddha in the future. It was also the ancient Buddha of Lighting Deng who brought Tathagata Buddha to the Western Heaven. of!
  Now I am on my journey to the west, but I have repeatedly failed. In the many turmoils in the west, I have gradually developed inner demons.
  He began to be afraid, panicked, afraid of the great changes in the Journey to the West era, and found that everything was out of control.
  In other words, Randen Ancient Buddha is afraid of facing the future.

When the Buddha in the past was afraid of the future, it meant that this future had become his inner demon.

The Randen Ancient Buddha personally took action to capture Gu Yang and the Shadow Demon, which was essentially motivated by this fear of the future.
  He also wants to cut through the mess quickly and use all means to push everything back on track and restore things.

However, today, when I was discussing Taoism with the Shadow Demon, the Shadow Demon revealed the truth about his appearance, and the fact that he had worries in his heart and that his bright mirror was stained with dust!

The shadow demon smiled slightly, clasped his hands together,

"Amitabha, I accept it."
