Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 434 The little monk is willing to go to the world to rebuild and be a commoner; the candidate for the black lotus envoy

It is Maha Kasyapa who talks about the true biography of the Buddha.

Although it was the first time for Fa Hai to meet this Venerable, he was actually no stranger to him.

If Bodhidharma is the first ancestor of Zen Buddhism in the Central Plains, then Mahakasyapa is undoubtedly the first ancestor of Zen Buddhism in the Western Heaven.

Isn't the true meaning of "nianhuayixiao" the essence of Zen enlightenment?
Mahakasyapa learned both big and small vehicles. He was under the door of Burning Lamp Buddha, and then worshiped under Buddha's door, and became an Arhat. However, after receiving the Buddha's heart and teaching the Dharma, Mahakasyapa saw the Bodhisattva way and the Buddha's way, but he did not know it.

The golden lotus gradually dissipated, but the Sanskrit sound still lingered.

Under the radiance of the Buddha, the fragments of relics in front of Fa Hai were almost condensed into substance.

Seeing this, the Buddha sitting high on the lotus platform wanted to go along with the current and help Tripitaka achieve success and become a Buddha.

After a while, the Buddha's light connecting the two disappeared.

The first thing Fa Hai did when he opened his eyes was to bow to Mahakassapa and say, "Thank you, Venerable, for teaching the Dharma."

Then Fahai shot a golden light between his brows, luring the relic to escape into the sacred treasure of his spiritual platform.

Seeing this scene, the monks in the Daxiong Palace felt mixed feelings, or why don't they easily compare themselves with others?

Just like the Tang Sanzang in front of him, he didn't show the slightest excitement when facing the Buddha's relic, and his expression was unwavering, as if he had put away a stone picked up by the side of the road.

As for the fact that the relic was not completely condensed successfully, all the monks present would never doubt Tang Sanzang's ability.Those who can have a seat in the Daxiong Hall of Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan are naturally not idle people. Even most of them have not been able to condense the relics, but their eyesight is always good.

This relic originally originated from Tang Sanzang's own broken relic at that moment. Now, with the help of Mahakassapa's teaching, it has attracted the Buddha's light to gather and restore it. Now it seems that it is only a short step away.
But if you think about what Sanzang said before, it's hard not to make people think that he did it on purpose.

I would rather be an ordinary monk than become a Buddha.

Especially Maha Kasyapa, who taught the Dharma with Master Sanzang, at this moment he is the most clear about the situation of Master Sanzang, but whether the relics can be completely condensed, he believes that it depends on Sanzang's thought.

Just like myself, as long as I want to, I can get a Buddha position at any time.

It is even said that, as the first ancestor of Xitian Zen, he is enough to be called the Buddha after becoming a Buddha.Just like Tathagata
"Amitabha."

Mahakassapa returned a salute to Tripitaka, then turned to look at the Buddha, and said: "Buddha, my disciple has been in Lingshan for a long time, and has been out of the world of mortals for a long time. Only then did I communicate with Tripitaka, and got the Buddha's mind that can save the common people. I feel ashamed , so I implore the Buddha to allow his disciples to go down the mountain and practice with the mortal world."

"good!"

For this wise disciple, the Buddha still likes him very much, but he has always been quite assertive. In addition, the Buddha would not intervene too much in the cultivation of Lingshan disciples in ordinary times, and he did not ask too much in the past.

Now, after listening to him and Sanzang exchange a few words, I realize that this guy is also a "rebel".

Can become a Buddha but not become a Buddha
The Buddha looked at the Bodhisattva and seemed to be saying: Look, it's all your bad start. The good ones insist on giving up the Buddha's position as the Buddha of the Dharma and Ming Tathagata. The younger generation has learned everything.

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked back and smiled.

This may be the difference between Mahayana and Hinayana.

In fact, in this hall, among the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, most of them still practice the Hinayana teachings, which are also the fruit positions conferred by the two leaders of the Western religion.

As for whether they actually have that realm, except for a few, most of them have empty fruit positions and occupy their positions in vain.

And the reason why they were able to get the imperial seal was that the two religious masters peeked into the future with great magic power, knowing that they would one day be able to understand the true meaning of Buddha in the future, so they were allowed to return to their positions in advance in the past in the future.

In this regard, the Buddha and Bodhisattva still have certain doubts.

After all, the past has become a fixed number and cannot be changed. But the variables of the future are locked in the present. Is the future seen by the two leaders still the future after this time?
But after all, the two of them are saints, and they must be above Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in terms of mana and vision.

When the Buddha and the three masters first studied Buddhist scriptures, they believed that Hinayana Buddhism was actually more suitable for practitioners, perfecting their own practice, and crossing their bodies to reach the other shore.

But regardless of whether it is Mahayana or Hinayana, its original intention is to persuade people to be good, and in fact there is no distinction between high and low.

Therefore, in the practice of Lingshan, the Buddha never had to use the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism to restrain the monks who practiced the Hinayana teachings.

This is also one of the reasons why there are many hermits in Lingshan, but very few people who go down the mountain to help all living beings.

On the contrary, among the monks who practice Mahayana Buddhism in the human world, there will often be some old monks with high realms who help the world and save people in the world of mortals.

Mahakassapa left.

He walked very simply and firmly.

After leaving the Lingshan Mountain, it turned into a golden light, but escaped into the Netherworld.

Yinshan Dojo.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looked at Maha Kassapa, who rarely got out of the Lingshan Mountain once, but ran to him as soon as he got out of the mountain, and asked with a smile: "Come to the poor monk, you must have been reincarnated in the human world."

"Yes, Bodhisattva Wisdom Eye." Mahakassapa nodded in response.

"Actually, you can just reincarnate into the human world, so why reincarnate and rebuild?"

Mahakasyapa thought for a while, and said: "Unless you are like Avalokitesvara, who incarnated into the world for the purpose of saving all living beings, the rest are not considered as cultivation. Yes, even though the six faculties of mind and body are pure, the afflictions of ignorance have been cut off, and life and death have been liberated, even though the six sense organs of the body and mind are pure, and the attainment of Nirvana can be regarded as one’s own body.”

"Now I see Sanzang and I know. Passing oneself and others, and complementing each other to achieve the right fruit, those who have less desires in the holy life and clean morality are not as good as ordinary thoughts. The little monk is willing to go to the world to re-cultivate, to be a commoner in the world, and to look at the world. How about practicing."

"Good." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva listened to Mahakassapa's words and praised him.

Mahakasyapa bowed again to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and said, "If it is convenient for the Bodhisattva, please send the disciple to the home of many children."

"Why?"

"If it is an only child, it may not be a good fortune for the disciple to become a monk in the next life."

"Yes." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded in response.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sealed Mahakasyapa's mana and spiritual consciousness with a wave of his hand, and threw it into the six realms of reincarnation.

Hei Lian, who was left in the six realms of reincarnation by Wutian Mozu, saw Mahakassapa's reincarnation, and circled around for a while. He wanted to melt into his soul, but was blocked by a golden light, and finally just idling in the six realms of reincarnation After a few laps, he seemed a little dazed.

Seeing this, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Maha Kassapa has a profound Buddha nature, and he has received the true teachings of the Buddha. Even this black lotus can hardly invade his body."

But seeing a black-robed emperor appearing beside Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he also smiled and said, "This black lotus will not fail to choose someone in the end, right?"

"The emperor's words are serious." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva performed a Buddhist salute to the black-robed emperor, and responded: "The black lotus envoy of the demon world. I wonder if there is anyone for the emperor?"

"There are several candidates."

"I also ask the emperor to advise."

This emperor is no one else, but the Great Emperor Fengdu of the Yin Division, who rarely shows up in ordinary times. After all, the affairs of the Yin Division are taken care of by Yama of the Ten Palaces.

The mana power of Emperor Fengdu and that of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva are on par. Generally speaking, there are very few things in the underworld that even Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva cannot understand. If there are, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will naturally invite him Let's fight together. If the two of them work together and still can't solve the problem, then it's time to ask Emperor Ziwei, or Taiyi to rescue Ku Tianzun, or directly report to Emperor Jade Emperor.

The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had already gone to look for the Great Emperor Fengdu at that time regarding the matter of the black lotus. He still felt a little hard to face the great sage of the demon world transformed by his second senior brother Kinnara, and he was afraid that the black lotus of the demonic way would be in the six realms. After reincarnation, he made troubles, so he asked Emperor Fengdu to pay attention to the movements of the black lotus all the time.

If there is any abnormal movement, or if it is attached to some "son of destiny", it must be the Great Emperor Fengdu who takes action.

After all, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was born in Buddhism. Even though he is the leader of the Nether world, his authority in the six realms of reincarnation is not too high.The fundamental reason is that Houtuhuangdi is not friendly to Buddhism only, it can only be said to be not hostile.

Therefore, some matters related to the six realms of reincarnation can only be handled by Emperor Fengdu.

"The Heavenly Court Taibai Venus is about to reincarnate in the lower world. Its aura of Gengjin killing can not only blend with the black lotus's demonic nature, but also suppress it." Emperor Fengdu said to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, "After all, the power of the black lotus The devilish energy inside is so strong, if it wasn't for this kind of killer, it would be easy and difficult to bear."

Faced with the No.1 choice given by Emperor Fengdu, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva still murmured for a while, especially when he heard Emperor Fengdu say that Taibai Jinxing was a "killer", he rarely showed half-astonishment .

After being in a trance, he smiled helplessly: "Who would have thought that Venus in the heavens would be the master of killing."

"Taibai Jingtian is the revolution of the world, and the king of the people." Emperor Fengdu said seriously, "But just because Li Changgeng himself is kind, we cannot ignore the priesthood of Taibai Jinxing. Perhaps the three realms have almost forgotten that Taibai Jinxing is One of the gods of war in the heavenly court, in charge of war, the master of killing."

How do you think Taibai Jinshen's reputation of being good at recruiting security came from?

Could it be that those demons would obediently listen to him the first time he went down to ask for safety?

Only powerful mana can make those rebellious monsters become obedient.

For this point of view, the Great Sage fully agrees.

Of course, all the ghosts and ghosts on Xitian Road also have a deep understanding of this.

"Except Taibai Jinxing." Emperor Fengdu mentioned another person to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, "The reincarnated spirit of Manjusri Bodhisattva is also acceptable. A few days ago, his reincarnated body in the human world was killed, and now his soul is in the underworld. Middle, may the Bodhisattva go to see him?"

???

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has not paid attention to Manjushri Bodhisattva who has been reincarnated for a long time, and Di Ting has never mentioned this matter to himself. Is it intentional?
Still slacking off?

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva didn't bother to pinch his fingers to forget about it, and asked Emperor Fengdu directly for the reason.

"Manjusri Bodhisattva's temperament is also known to you. Even after reincarnation, he has restrained himself, but since he was still affected by the death of Little Jinchan, and after he took revenge for Little Jinchan, he has become more sharp and fierce. It is rare to see mercy, and it caused a lot of trouble in Dongzhou. People called him an evil monk. Then he clashed with a thousand-year-old barbarian disciple, seriously injured him, and caused the master to come to revenge. It was because his talent potential was not in time. Turned into strength; secondly, the thousand-year barbaric cultivator really did all the deadly things, as long as he avenged his disciples, "

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva:
This doesn't sound like a disaster.

"Why did they conflict?"

This is the key.

"It's because of that savage disciple, whose savage nature broke out, caused chaos in the world, and hurt people. It happened that Manjusri Bodhisattva passed by, so he stopped him." Emperor Fengdu paused for a while, "The Bodhisattva also knows about the savage cultivators. The blood is on the rise, and it cannot be stopped easily, Manjusri Bodhisattva had no choice but to seriously injure him."

"I see."

After hearing this, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sighed and said, "Has the true spirit of Manjusri Bodhisattva awakened?"

"Wake up." Emperor Fengdu nodded and said, "At this moment, I am reflecting on what I have done in this life, and I will go to reincarnation when my Yang life is exhausted."

"His life in the world is not over yet?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was also very puzzled when he heard this. The reason why the little golden cicada died early was that his natural luck was shallow, but it is said that the Bodhisattva, the real Buddha, reincarnated and descended to the earth, should have deep luck and blessings.
It is common for ordinary people to enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth.

What's more, if one is destined to be able to walk on the road of cultivation, one can even become a fairy again, achieve a positive result in cultivation, and fade away from death.
But our Manjushri Bodhisattva, what kind of disaster has he caused? This reincarnated body has not even exhausted its lifespan, so we came to the underworld to report.

Generally speaking, as Manjusri Bodhisattva, it is not a big deal to open the back door before the end of Yangshou. But Manjushri thinks that his true spirit has recovered, and his human body has been smashed by the thousand-year barbarian cultivator. Stay in the underworld and absorb the perception of reincarnation in this world.

As for why, as a Buddhist Bodhisattva, he didn't go to the Yinshan Dojo after his death, it was because he still had a bit of arrogance after all.

There is no need to question whether Manjushri Bodhisattva is qualified to be the Holy Envoy of the Black Lotus.

I'm afraid. The Great God of the Demon Realm, who is far away in the Demon Realm, is not at ease.

After all, Manjusri Bodhisattva is not an ordinary person. Even if he was reincarnated by Master Sanzang before, it is actually his own wish to a large extent.
If the two really fight each other in Wuji Kingdom, they don't know what kind of bitter fruit it will lead to.

Even though Manjusri Bodhisattva made a mistake in dealing with the Wuji Kingdom, it cannot deny his own Buddhist realm.

Teacher of the Seven Buddhas, that's a real name, not a false name.
