Wandao long distance

Chapter 746
Li Qi taught Shariputra the Dharma.

As Li Qi lectured, the surrounding scenes also began to unfold. The water was like lochia, famine was falling on the earth, and the countless dead people who had filthy, smelly and unclean places began to appear. Countless emotions were depressed, including greed, anger, laziness, teasing, and shamelessness. , suspicion, jealousy, hatred, reluctance, flattery, shamelessness, shamelessness, jealousy, indulgence.

Looking carefully, there were two demons nearby who were almost starving to death. They had not eaten for a long time. They heard that there was endless fish here, so they rushed towards here step by step, covered in mud.

Further away, babies are everywhere on the ground. This place was originally a school, but now it has been looted by bandits. The babies are lining the horses' hooves, borrowing people's feet, their livers and brains are smeared on the ground, and their cries fill the field.

See you further away, in ditches and ponds, where the killings have ended, but you see piles of corpses on the ground, hands and feet resting on each other, flesh and blood corpses entering the pond, turning into five colors, and the pond becomes flat.

During the famine, there were big demons plundering slaves, countless small demons exposing their flesh, and going deep into the mud up to their shins. There were people leading many women, and many demons were tied together with long ropes around their necks, and they were pulled together like pearls. Then go to the big demon's residence.

In the past, thousands of demons committed evil deeds and fell into the lower realms. Their wrong views and thoughts filled the world like a black wind.

These are all caused by natural disasters and famine.

That's why Yun Jing uses his body to support all sentient beings, but his power always falls short, which is why he is in his current state.

And as Li Qi's teaching began, a light grew out from behind Li Qi.

There is a breeze blowing on the floating islands, and they are washed clean by the washcloth.

But I saw pure rain falling from the sky, and when it fell to the ground, all things grew.

The sick and wounded healed, the disabled regenerated, the barren land regained its vitality, trees began to bear fruit, and farmland sprouted again and quickly matured into full crops.

The famine was resolved in an instant.

"But seeing and seeing that the five aggregates are all empty, all the foolish and ignorant ordinary people in the world are greedy for sensual pleasures, toil their bodies, and seek unrighteous gains."

"Buddhas, Tathagata, are not like this. They only seek happiness and benefit to others, not seeking their own happiness. They have perfected their mind and Dharma, see the Dharma in silence, live in peaceful phrases, have no desire and no suffering, and achieve the four kinds of meditation." Li Qi said to Yun Jing.

"If you do this, you can create greater goodness and protect more people with your compassion without having to sacrifice yourself. How about it? Are you willing to learn the Dharma?"

As Li Qi spoke, he saw... Although the famine has slowed down, it has not ended.

When such a vision appears, it stands to reason that everyone will have enough to eat. However, the big demons and bandits began to rob the gift that had come.

They plunder the weak, and they will not stop plundering just because the weak have something to eat, nor will they choose to stop just because the weak have nothing to eat.

All this was seen by Yun Whale.

In Yun Jing's original idea, all living beings have meat to eat, so there will be no disputes. As long as everyone eats him, it will be the same as saving birds and beasts before.

But it is different now. Birds and beasts will not hurt each other when they are full, but these monsters are different.

They have thoughts and advanced wisdom, so they do not plunder for survival, but for the Tao they practice.

Maybe they don't know it themselves, but when they act, they may be coerced by the world's Tao, or they may like it, but no matter what, they use this 'Tao' as the criterion to plunder.

All living beings are tainted by desire and covered by ignorance, so there are "man-made disasters".

Yun Jing looked at everything Li Qi had created.

Then, relying on the Great Light Mirror, he suddenly understood what Li Qi meant by 'transmitting the Dharma'.

By spreading the Dharma, we can prevent this kind of thing.

However, when the idea of ​​spreading the Dharma came up...

Li Qi suddenly felt that Yun Jing could no longer feel his will.

The great mirror of light disappeared.

Li Qi suddenly realized...

Obsession, this is obsession.

The original Cloud Whale didn't have any obsessions. It just floated in the sky naturally and did things according to its own wishes.

But Li Qi showed him the power of Buddhism and the desires of all living beings.

So, he became obsessed with 'preaching the Dharma'.

With the obsession, there is no more peace.

Yun Jing's mind was caught in the dust, and the mirror was not clear, so his state of mind was broken.

But at this time, Yun Jing struggled and made a sound. He said: "Please... teach me the Dharma. I want to practice it."

Li Qi looked at Yun Jing in front of him.

His body had long been torn apart. He didn't feel any pain at first, but at this moment, he scratched his heart and felt an urgent urge to practice and save all sentient beings.

Li Qi looked at the cloud whale in front of him and suddenly felt a sense of self-doubt.

Is it really a good thing to teach him the Dharma?Is he really Shariputra?

But now that I’ve done it, it’s hard to regret it.

Yun Jing's obsession has arisen, and the great mirror of light is covered in dust. Only practice can save him.

Li Qi stopped talking and continued to lecture.

The sound of the Sanskrit sounds resounds, the sky is beautiful, the judgment is clear and profound, the wit is clear and clear, and the internal and external aspects are comprehensive.

The Buddha spoke a vision and emitted various lights, which were of various colors, including green, yellow, red and white, and the light of pear and agate, illuminating all three thousand.

Golden lotuses bloomed around Li Qi's body. The flowers were delicate and each had a thousand leaves, pure gold, with glass as the stem, diamond as the whiskers, rose as the platform, and a round shape, like a wheel.

The various visions are subtle and solemn, the most supreme, with 32 signs and eighty kinds of beauty adorning its body.

There are thunderous sounds, or raindrops, or lightning flashes, or reviving winds, or smoke and flames appearing like fire gathering, or the Qibao Mountains, ponds, springs, rivers, mountains, forests, and trees, all kinds of miraculous things.

Li Qi's lectures were profound and simple, and Sipin gave his speech in person. The subtleties and profoundness of his speeches are indescribable. This is a rare and great opportunity.

Even the stone next to him, Qingfeng, had regained his consciousness on the third day of Li Qi's lecture, kowtowed to Li Qi, called him a disciple, and performed the disciple ceremony.

However, Yun Whale's eyes were still blank.

The stones listening next to him had all been turned into demons by Li Qi's lectures, but Yun Jing still didn't feel it, as if he didn't understand.

Li Qi had no choice but to continue teaching the Fa.

Finally, on the seventh day, Yunjing finally learned a little bit, and quickly thanked Li Qi and said, "I...I seem to understand!"

Li Qi then stopped teaching: "Now that you have started, you can only do the rest on your own."

Li Qi disappeared again, leaving Yun Jing below.

Yun Jing then said goodbye to Li Qi, and then greeted the surrounding stones, lotus flowers, and breeze.

Stone, Lotus, and Qingfeng also communicated with Yunjing one after another. As the four demons were at the forefront of Li Qi's lectures, they hit it off and agreed to unite, help each other, and practice together.

Therefore, Qingfeng volunteered to carry the other bodies of Cloud Whale back. Lianhua said that she could sew his body together and the stone would stay here with Cloud Whale waiting for them.

Therefore, Yunjing was extremely grateful to them.

The other three said that their opportunity came from Yunjing, and they could treat each other as brothers, which is what they should be.

The relationship between the four demons was established, and in Yun Jing's heart, he seemed to feel that these three people wanted to get closer to him.

You know, before today, there was never a word of "closeness" in Yunjing's eyes.

At that time, he treated all living beings equally, and there was no distinction between closeness and distance.

But now, he feels that stones, breezes, and lotus flowers are closer than other living beings. He doesn't know other living beings, but these three brothers are willing to be with him.It seems that they are indeed more deserving of kindness than other sentient beings.

Or to put it another way...

All living beings are equal, but these three brothers are more equal in Yun Jing's heart.

When this thought appeared, Yun Whale's dusty mirror seemed to become even darker.

The original Buddha nature is also gradually disappearing.

For the sake of all sentient beings, all kinds of distinctions are made.

Distinguish between all kinds of things, there are immeasurable mutual understandings, these kinds of suffering, those who know the various realms are called points.It is also called sex and suffering.

When there is a distinction, there is a discriminating mind. With a discriminating mind, all living beings are no longer equal.

Yun Jing didn't know this. He just gradually became human from his original aloof Buddha nature.

Is it good or bad?

Li Qi didn't know, he just watched everything silently.

He could only guess... If it was Shariputra, then all of this must be fine, right?
But what Li Qi didn't expect was...

The four monsters who listened to the Dharma, Cloud Whale, Stone, Breeze, and Lotus, put together the body of the Cloud Whale, and then began to travel around and practice.

The four demons were determined to spread Buddhism, but they soon encountered setbacks.

The first group of bandits they encountered were unwilling to follow the Buddhist teachings and wanted to kill them.

They talk a lot, but they don't listen.

So, when faced with the attack of swords and axes, they could only resist, but accidentally killed the bandit.

When the other bandits saw this, they were shocked and then knelt down to express their willingness to follow the Buddhist teachings.

The four demons suddenly realized, and they discussed with each other, whether this method can make people believe in Buddhism?

Cloud Whale and Lotus thought it was inappropriate, but Shitou and Qingfeng thought it was feasible.

I didn't believe it for a long time, but now they are all willing, which shows that this method is useful.

After that, the four demons each used their own methods to spread Buddhism. Although they had differences, they still had a good relationship and trusted each other.

Next, many stories went through in the process of spreading Buddhism.

Each story is about the battle of wits and courage between the four monsters and other monsters, hoping to make others believe in Buddhism and build a beautiful world without distinction.

However, ten years later, they all encountered different setbacks.

Shitou and Qingfeng, who wanted to spread the word by killing, met an opponent they couldn't kill.

As for Lotus Flower and Cloud Whale, they are clumsy in speech, and no one listens to their speeches on Buddhism. They can only rely on alms and offerings to influence believers.

So, the four demons gathered together again to discuss a solution.

The result of the discussion was that they felt that maybe their cultivation was not enough and their cultivation level was too low. If they had a higher cultivation level, all this would be solved.

So they stopped teaching the Dharma and started practicing.

Another 20 years have passed since this practice.

The four demons are all extremely talented. They quickly reached the eighth level and are considered masters in this area.

So they went out to teach the Dharma again.

However, this time, they encountered a more difficult encounter.

They discovered that the 'bad guys' they had previously targeted were not necessarily all bad guys.

Two good forces may be at war with each other, and two good people may become sworn enemies.

In fact, even the four of them had the same contradiction within themselves.

They have the same purpose, and they know how good the other person is. However, in the process of implementation, they will inevitably encounter conflicts, and Stone and Lotus often quarrel over this.

However, luckily, Cloud Whale can always mediate between them.

But as time went by, Yunjing also began to have doubts.

Choosing to follow the guidance of Buddhism means having to wade through complex moral dilemmas and painful dilemmas.

These doubts kept bothering him and entangled his heart.

Why?Why do we all hate each other even though we are good people?
Obviously they are doing good things, but why are the practices and attitudes of both parties completely opposite?
Cloud Whale began to think.

Li Qi was full of expectations.

But a few years later, Li Qi discovered that Yunjing failed to figure it out.

He didn't know, and moreover, his cultivation realm was beginning to slow down.

He can endure pain out of compassion, but he doesn't have the perseverance and perseverance to persevere in matters of spiritual practice. Many things can't just be gritted and persevered.

The pain can be endured because the pain is clear, but the practice itself is to find a possible way forward in the dark land, which is far more difficult than enduring the pain.

Unable to improve his realm, he decided to improve his cultivation.

This is also the advantage of Cloud Whale. After all, Cloud Whale's body is large, and the inner world is also naturally large. Under the same realm, it can accommodate more cultivation levels.

With more cultivation, the natural combat power will be greatly enhanced.

Therefore, without a breakthrough in his realm, he began to think of ways to improve his cultivation and combat power. Only with sufficient combat power guarantee could he ensure the transmission of the law.

Unknowingly, his actions have become more and more "purposeful" and planned. Cloud Whale is becoming more and more mature, and is no longer as innocent as before.

The great mirror of light becomes more and more dusty, and the more you think about it, the less bright it becomes.

Li Qi looked at it, but felt that something was getting more and more uncomfortable...

But he didn't take action and just watched like this. Sixty years later, the four demons still remained true to their original intentions. They had all risen to the eighth level. Together, they could even defeat the seventh level.

They did rely on force, teaching, and various means to establish a small Buddhist kingdom nearby.

In this Buddhist country, the people are grateful for the universal enlightenment of Buddhism and the four demons who are kind and loving to the people.

Thanks to the teachings of the Buddha, the public has learned that only by helping each other, understanding each other, and resolving differences, jealousy, and hatred in their hearts can this place where we live together be saved from disaster.

In the country, all the people respect the Three Jewels more, believe deeply in Buddhism, and truly believe and practice it. As a result, the weather has always been smooth and the country and the people are safe.

Every time the four demons passed by, the people would happily prostrate themselves on the ground and worship them respectfully. The public seemed to be able to feel their kindness and light.

They believe that their country is as described in Buddhism, which is bright, compassionate and kind.

Until, a devout little novice monk accidentally discovered everything the four demons had done to establish and maintain this kingdom.

The little novice was horrified to find out.

It turns out that the four demons have caused more evil than the Demon King.

At the same time, the four demons also noticed the existence of the little novice monk.
