Journey to the West, this Sun Wukong is too persuasive

Chapter 150 Lingshan
West Paradise, the Holy Land of Lingshan.

The sacred Dayei Temple emits thousands of feet of golden light of Buddhism, reflecting the temples, temples, and halls on Lingshan Mountain.

With the chanting of Sanskrit music, there is a peaceful scene everywhere.

At this moment, in the Daxiong Hall of Daleiyin Temple.

Tathagata Buddha sits cross-legged on the golden lotus platform above. His face is majestic and compassionate, which makes people awe-inspiring and relieves all worries.

On both sides of the main hall, there are Buddhist Bodhisattvas, Venerables, Arhats, Vajras, etc. Some of them are standing, some are sitting, some are sleeping soundly, some are laughing, some are sad, and their expressions are different, just like all living beings.

Among them, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Kassapa Venerable, Ananda Venerable and others are at the forefront of the monks.

When Jin Chanzi finished telling the story about the death of Fear Liu Sun, the expressions of all the monks changed, and they no longer had the same demeanor as before.

The fear of leaving Sun Buddha to travel around for Buddhism shows his high status. Now that he has suddenly passed away, the monks can't believe it for a while.

Avalokitesvara stood up with one hand and lamented: "Buddha, the poor monk reminded me that I am afraid that my grandson Buddha will devote himself to Buddhism and revitalize the West. His hard work has made great achievements. His relics should be enshrined in the Pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddhas."

The Tathagata Buddha did not answer directly, but said slowly: "Well done, the Buddha's merits and virtues have been completed, and he has entered the Land of Ultimate Bliss. All the monks should congratulate him."

The monks regained their composure, many of them looked expectant, and chanted the Buddha's name in unison: "Amitabha, good, good, good."

But there are always those who don’t fit in.

Jin Chanzi stood in front of the hall and said loudly: "Buddha, I am afraid that the relics of Sun Buddha have been swallowed by Mara. How can I enter the Paradise of Paradise?"

All the monks were shocked, and Guanyin also sighed softly and said no more.

Tathagata Buddha said: "He has the ultimate happiness in his heart, and he is going to the ultimate happiness, so there is no need for relics."

Jin Chanzi did not give up, and asked again: "Just now Mara swallowed the relics, why didn't Buddha chase after him? Since there is a demon, why didn't he surrender?"

The Tathagata Buddha said solemnly: "Everything in the world has its destiny. When it is time for others to perish, they will perish themselves."

Jin Chanzi said: "Buddha, I don't understand why we have to wait for a certain time to destroy him? If he is not destroyed at this time, can we just let him wreak havoc in all directions and cause harm to the three realms?

How can we, the Buddhist monks, who are compassionate and compassionate, sit back and watch the suffering of ordinary people? "

Tathagata Buddha said: "The fixed number cannot be changed. If there is a change, there will be a big catastrophe. What choice will you make between a small disaster and a big catastrophe?"

Jin Chanzi asked: "Is there no way to have both?"

Tathagata Buddha said: "Is it safe to have both the Dharma and the Dharma in this world?"

Jin Chanzi was silent, but only for a moment, and then asked: "Buddha, I am very confused. Since Buddha is a Buddha who has perfected his merits and virtues, why would he do such evil things on the Taiyin Star and use lust formations to plot others? ?

So, can he also become a Buddha?
What is Buddha? "

This is actually what Mara asked him in return, what is a Buddha and what is a demon?
What the Sun Buddha did on the Taiyin Star is no different from the devil?

Jin Chanzi had wanted to ask for a long time, and now she was even more upset.

After listening to Jin Chanzi's question, all the monks looked at each other in shock.

They didn't know why Wei Liusun passed away just now, but now they know.

But these behaviors are obviously against the Buddhist precepts. After all, there is only one Happy Buddha.

Tathagata Buddha's expression did not change, and he said slowly: "Becoming a Buddha with perfect merit and virtue is the teaching of Hinayana. Those who cannot see clearly but want to see clearly can also be Buddhas, but they may not be enlightened to everything.

Therefore, there is Mahayana, and the Buddha is myself.

When you have a Buddha in your heart and you feel that you are a Buddha, you are a Buddha.

By extension, all living beings can become Buddhas. Even demons can become Buddhas as long as they put down the butcher's knife.

This is the true meaning of Mahayana Buddhism. "

After hearing this, Jin Chanzi seemed to understand but was confused. What else did he want to ask?

Tathagata Buddha said: "Buddha is a great enlightened one. When you awaken, you will automatically realize everything."

"Thank you Buddha for your teaching." Jin Chanzi clasped his hands together, but still did not give up, and asked again: "May I ask Buddha, why do you want to learn scriptures from the West?"

As soon as these words came out, the monks in the Main Hall looked at each other again. Most of them were curious and they also wanted to know.

A few people, such as Guanyin, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, etc., remain silent.Tathagata Buddha said solemnly: "When the time comes, you will know it and step back!"

Jin Chanzi was very dissatisfied with this answer. He liked to be more serious, but Buddha obviously didn't want to say anything. He continued to ask and couldn't get an answer, so he could only give up and think about exploring slowly in Lingshan in the future.

However, not long after, the Buddha asked him to go to the West Sea to participate in some Dragon Transformation Conference with the Venerable Kasyapa.

……

In a secluded Zen room behind Daleiyin Temple.

Tathagata Buddha, Guanyin, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Kasyapa and others gathered together again.

"Buddha, is it a little hasty to designate Sun Wukong as a Buddhist scripture seeker?" Guanyin asked, "Looking at his words and deeds, it seems that he is quite hostile to our Buddhist sect.

Nowadays, the passing away of the fearful sun Buddha also has a lot to do with him. If he becomes a Buddhist Buddhist, will he do his best? "

"Yes, Buddha." Manjusri agreed, "With Sun Wukong's current strength and identity, it is not easy for him to become a Buddhist scripture collector."

Samantabhadra also said the same thing: "It's better to find another Buddhist practitioner. I think the Bull Demon King is good. He has both reputation and strength."

Tathagata Buddha said expressionlessly: "He is irreplaceable."

The three noble men looked at each other and said nothing.

Tathagata Buddha said again: "If Sun Buddha goes to heaven to make plans again after his death, the Emperor of Heaven may be dissatisfied, so let's wait for now.

The Dragon Clan’s once-in-a-millennium Dragon Transformation Conference is coming, and this time it happens to be hosted by the Xihai Dragon Clan.
Venerable Kasyapa, take the golden cicada with you and go to the West Sea for a trip. "

"I sincerely obey the Buddha's decree." Kasyapa took the order and left.

Avalokitesvara, Manjusri, Samantabhadra and others all knew about the matter of obtaining scriptures, and of course they knew why Kasyapa was sent to the West Sea.

……

On the other side, after True Lord Yi Sheng and You Yi Lingguan returned from the West, they immediately went to the Tongming Hall to report to the Jade Emperor their experience of going to Lingshan.

After the two left, the Jade Emperor lost his leisure and tapped his hand lightly on the table.

Taibai Jinxing on the side said quickly: "Your Majesty, Sun Dasheng is right. Mara is really not dead. If this demon is not eliminated, it will be a big trouble."

The Jade Emperor said in a deep voice: "What I'm asking is, why did Mara swallow the relics, and why did he let Jin Chanzi go?"

Taibai Jinxing was confused, guessed wrong?How can it be!

But he still pinched his beard and said: "Mo Luo almost died in Beiming before, so he should be in urgent need of improving his strength.

The relics are the essence of Buddhist monks' Dharma cultivation. Mara became a demon from a Bodhisattva, probably because he wanted to improve his demonic cultivation by devouring the relics.

But this is ultimately an inferior method and will collapse one day.

As for why he let Jin Chanzi go, I don't know if your majesty will convict him. "

"Is it because you don't know or you don't dare to tell?" the Jade Emperor said angrily, "Go and call Sun Wukong."

Taibai Jinxing breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to the Monkey King's Palace.

He knew why His Majesty the Jade Emperor summoned Sun Wukong.

This sword has defeated the Chanjiao side step by step, and His Majesty has been able to demonstrate the majesty of the Emperor of Heaven.

Especially at the end of the Taiyin Star Rebellion, when the Antarctic Immortal who explained the religion faced off against the Golden Spirit Holy Mother who intercepted the religion, it was His Majesty who came forward to solve all the problems.

Nowadays, Buddhism is not at peace, and for fear of leaving a grandson, Buddha dares to make plans in heaven, which shows how arrogant it is.

It's time for Your Majesty to turn the sword against Buddhism for the time being.

"It's strange, why is Sun Dasheng so hostile to Buddhism?" Taibai Jinxing couldn't understand.

Could it be that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was being unfair just because he was seduced by the underworld at that time?
This does not mean that we are hostile to Buddhism as a whole.

Of course, hostility is a good thing, Your Majesty likes it.

　Thanks to Lonely Salted Fish for the reward, thank you boss!
