Journey to the West: I, the Dragon Prince of the East China Sea, worship Bodhi

Chapter 353 The Bodhisattva's Entrustment

Ao Qing was not surprised to see the girl in front of her.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was originally a bright-eyed girl and a Brahman girl who saved her mother. He has already heard this legend for a long time.

Although, in subsequent reincarnations, Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha also had many male incarnations, but this does not prevent her from appearing in her original image.What's more, some of those incarnations haven't even been born yet.

For example, one of the incarnations of Prince Silla "Jin Qiaojue" was in the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, having said that, it is rare for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to appear in his true form.

Most of the time, it should be the "Dharma image" on the Buddha statue.

Buddhist arhats, bodhisattvas, and even Buddhas all appear in such a "dharma appearance" when they are solemn.

Guanyin Bodhisattva is an exception.Because, Guanyin Bodhisattva's dharma appearance is right and Dharma bright Tathagata is on the other side.Of course, having said that, Guanyin Bodhisattva also has many bodhisattva images as incarnations.

To Ao Qing's surprise, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva would see herself in the image of a young girl.Although this can be regarded as her "true face", it is still very rare.

For example, Taiyi saves Ku Tianzun.

Ao Qing had seen Taiyi Save Ku Tianzun, but he was a middle-aged Taoist figure.But Ao Qing knew that he was actually a boy who was smaller than Nezha.

It's just that when Taiyi saved Ku Tianzun and met himself, he didn't use that truth.

"I have seen Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva." Ao Qing turned to the girl and bowed slightly.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded slightly, clasped his hands together, and lowered his eyes: "Amitabha, I have heard the name of Emperor Shenguang for a long time, and it is a great honor to see him today."

"Where, where." Ao Qing replied: "I don't know if the Bodhisattva invited me here, what advice can I give? If it is about the Dharma, I should be the one to visit the Bodhisattva, but the Bodhisattva should not invite me."

To be honest, Ao Qing and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva have nothing to say about Buddhism.

Those with great supernatural powers in the holy realm all have their own persistence.There is nothing wrong with discussing the law, but it is mostly based on reference.

The Dharma of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva may be a reference for Ao Qing.After all, Ao Qing practiced the three religions concurrently.

But Ao Qing's Dharma has no reference value for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Because Ao Qing's Dharma is more of the "Three Vehicles" of the Tathagata Buddha today.The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is actually a great supernatural power in ancient Buddhism.

Yes.

Since the Dizang Bodhisattva became extinct, it can be said that he is almost the only ancient Buddhist Bodhisattva in the Three Realms who has not gone to the other shore.

Perhaps this is also related to her great wish "If the hell is not empty, I will not become a Buddha".

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva heard the words, but shook his head slightly:

"Discussion of the Dharma is the second priority. In the future, as long as the emperor wishes, there will be plenty of time. Today, the emperor is invited to come here. One is to assist the emperor under the orders of the Bodhi Patriarch. Second, there are actually other things that need to trouble the emperor. I also hope that the emperor will allow it."

"Other things?"

Ao Qing looked at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Patriarch Bodhi had already greeted Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Emperor Fengdu.This, he knows.

Although I don't know what it's like at Emperor Fengdu's place, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is obviously very talkative.

However, now it seems that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also has something to ask for himself?
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said:

"To be honest, I do have one thing that I have to ask the emperor for."

"What's the matter?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said: "I don't know if the emperor saw my real face, but did he know the story of the light-eyed girl and the Brahman girl before me?"

Of course Ao Qing knew: "But her mother harmed her merits and virtues. The Bodhisattva made a great vow based on her true form, vowing to save all the suffering beings in the world, all hells and the three evil ways in the next hundreds of thousands of kalpas? Bodhisattvas have great ambitions to be merciful and universal, and they are filial to the world, and I also admire them very much."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "The emperor is absurd."

Ao Qing's thoughts turned, and she suddenly asked: "Could it be that...the matter entrusted by the Bodhisattva is related to the Lingtang?"

Ao Qing thinks carefully, for this Bodhisattva, the most important thing is great compassion and great filial piety.

Even, in fact, filial piety is more moving than compassion.

Yes.

It is also different from Guanyin Bodhisattva.Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva rescued the sufferings of the common people, and at first it was to save her mother!

Perhaps, for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, great filial piety is above great vows.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's great wish, even Ao Qing, has nothing to do.But if he is taking care of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's mother, he still has this ability.

"Please take a look at this side of the emperor." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stood up, bowed slightly, and asked Ao Qing to go to a Dharma gate.Seeing this, Ao Qing followed into the depths of Cuiyun Palace.

After stepping over the threshold, the light suddenly burst into light, but seeing a change in the world, the courtyard suddenly transformed into a big world.

The golden light of the heaven and the earth is infinite, and there are countless Buddhist voices singing, while the earth is filled with awe-inspiring vitality everywhere.

"here is?"

"Here is a small world created by me, called Wuyou Land." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said, "My mother is on the land."

She raised her hand and pointed, and Ao Qing really saw a woman about 30 to [-] years old who was dressed in elegant and luxurious clothes, living in the Buddhist kingdom.

There is no doubt that the woman is the mother of Earth King Tsang Bodhisattva.

As for this worry-free land.It is also recorded in Buddhist scriptures.

After Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva made a great wish and achieved the bodhisattva dharma body, the first thing he did was to create the worry-free land and send his mother here.

Ao Qing asked, "I don't know what the Bodhisattva wants to entrust me with?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sighed deeply:
"I heard that Dijun created an Eastern Divine Light World. I want to ask Dijun to send my mother into the Divine Light World and take care of her a little more. That's all, there is no other plan."

Ao Qing frowned slightly.

Send the Buddha Mother into your own divine light world?
Why is this?

He looked at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and asked, "I don't know Bodhisattva, in the Three Realms...but what changes are about to happen?"

Ao Qing is well aware of the great filial piety of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Ordinarily, if it was not a last resort, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva would never have sent his mother into the world created by other great supernatural beings.

Don't say it's me.Even in the world of bliss, it is impossible.

I have only met Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva once now. Although I have heard the name for a long time before, I don't know who it is.

Why, would she do this?

There is only one possibility that Ao Qing can think of, and that is... There may be a big crisis in the Three Realms!
really.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said:
"Because, the era of Dharma-rectification and image-like Dharma is coming to an end. The end of Dharma is approaching, and there may be great chaos in the Three Realms. Even I may pass away. Only you, Emperor Shenguang, can still protect yourself."

Ao Qing was stunned: "If the end of the Dharma is really coming, why do Bodhisattvas only believe in me?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said:

"Because your divine light world is exactly the same as Amitabha Buddha's great dream world long ago. If so, even if the Dharma is at an end, it cannot be violated. Perhaps this is why Sakyamuni trusted you so much!! "
