Rebirth of the Great Wilderness, I shall mention it

Chapter 133

Amitabha and Zhunti saw that the Tathagata Buddha's golden body was stable and the relics were finished, so the two retired as the result of a prior discussion, and handed over the entire Buddhist gate to the Tathagata Buddha's management.After Tathagata Buddha led the entire Buddhism, he was also extremely serious and responsible. Under his leadership, the prosperity of the entire Buddhism has gradually surpassed that of Taoism.

Buddhist practice is the golden body, relics.It is different from Taoism, but it takes many lifetimes to achieve success.In this way, it is doomed to enter the reincarnation of Buddhist disciples, and they must have certain authority in the underworld.It's just that the order of the underworld has already been established, and if Buddhism wants to enter the reincarnation, it needs a good excuse.

For this reason, the Tathagata Buddha reported this matter to Amitabha and Zhunti, and asked them to solve this problem.

Since this matter is very important to the great prosperity of Buddhism, Amitabha and Zhunti discussed it after receiving the report from Tathagata Buddha, and immediately went to Posa Pure Land Lingshan Paradise from 33 to deal with this matter.

When they came to the Lingshan Paradise, the two were invited to sit on the throne by the Tathagata Buddha. After Zhunti and Amitabha looked at each other, Zhunti said to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas below: "The countless evil spirits and fierce ghosts in the six cycles of reincarnation cannot be rescued. , If my Buddhism is merciful, I want to send a disciple to the underworld, chant the Dharma every day, stay in the underworld, and save the wronged souls, so that they can be reincarnated early, I wonder who you are waiting for who is willing to take on this task?"

All the disciples below were in an uproar when they heard these words.What kind of place is the underworld, it is the place of reincarnation, and it is shrouded in boundless Yin Qi all the year round. If you stay in that place for a long time, it will be extremely unfavorable to your own cultivation.

The performance of the disciples below made Amitabha feel very uncomfortable. Just when he was about to get angry, he saw a disciple of the Buddha came forward and said: "My Buddha is merciful, as the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? The disciple is not talented, so he is willing to take on this task!"

Amitabha Buddha was delighted to see someone stepping out to undertake this task voluntarily, but he didn't know who this person was, so he asked, "Who are you from?"

"Brother Buddha, this person is a registered disciple of mine, named Dizang! Just because he was reincarnated and practiced after worshiping under my sect, and he came back a hundred years ago, so Brother Buddha doesn't know him!" Zhunti interjected. speak.

It turned out that the previous life of this Jizo was a saint of the Asura tribe. After seeing all the members of her tribe struggling and suffering in the sea of ​​blood, she wanted to get rid of this suffering. After meeting Zhunti, she worshiped under Zhunti's door and became A famous disciple, Zhunti asked him to reincarnate and practice in reincarnation. It was only a hundred years ago that he realized his past and present lives and returned to the Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Amitabha Buddha heard the words and said: "Goodness, goodness, it is really a great blessing for my Buddhist school to have such a disciple under your school."

"Ksitigarbha, you have this kind of heart, which shows that you have deeply grasped the essence of Buddhism. I now canonize you as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but this is not a trivial matter at this time. You have to think clearly?" Amitabha said to Ksitigarbha.

"To show my Buddha's mercy, my disciples are willing to stay in the underworld for a long time!: Ksitigarbha resolutely said.

"Okay, since you have this ambition, how can we not fulfill it with you, tomorrow I will send someone to escort you to the underworld!" Amitabha said.

"One disciple is enough for this trip, but it's not necessary!" Dizang said.

"Forget it, I will accompany you to the underworld as a teacher tomorrow!" Zhunti said upon seeing this.

The next day, in the underworld, the Buddha's light burst out suddenly above the dark sky of the underworld. Originally, the Buddha's light should be the nemesis of the little ghosts, but under the light of this Buddha, the little ghosts in the underworld not only did not feel uncomfortable, but felt comfortable. The evil thoughts in their hearts gradually disappeared, and some even had the idea of ​​converting to Buddhism.

"Who is so bold, dare to come to the Six Realms of Reincarnation to make trouble!" There was a loud shout, but it was the King of Hades who was in charge of the underworld, who arrived with a group of Yin soldiers.

At this time, I only heard the Buddha's name: "Namo Amitabha Buddha" from the sky, and saw a Bodhisattva descending.Under the seat of the Bodhisattva is a monster that looks like a lion, but it is a mount of Ksitigarbha "Ting".And the Bodhisattva wore a Vairocana crown on his head, held a tin staff in one hand, a lotus flower in the other, or a banner or a jewel, and said: "The poor monk Ksitigarbha, I came here to cross all the hungry ghosts in hell, so that they can escape the sea of ​​suffering."

Hearing these words, the King of Hades felt unhappy for a while, I am the person in charge of the underworld, if you get rid of all the evil spirits in this underworld, then I am not a bare commander.So, Yama said: "I don't care whether you are heaven or earth, the underworld is the place of reincarnation of the six realms, so don't talk nonsense here."

"Hehe, Xiangliu, I haven't seen you for many years. I never thought that you became the king of Hades, and your temper is still the same as before!" A figure appeared next to Dizang, looked at the king of Hades and smiled.

Yan Wang looked at this person, hesitated for a while, and said, "Are you a Zhunti saint?"

The person who came was undoubtedly Zhunti, Zhunti nodded and said: "It's true, I didn't expect that the Hades would still remember the old man!"

Hearing the words, the King of Hades was shocked, and hurried forward to worship on the ground, saying: "I have seen the saint, may the saint live forever!"

"Now you can be regarded as the master of a world, but you don't need to be so polite!" Zhun Ti said.

After finishing speaking, Zhunti let out a burst of breath and helped Hades to his feet.

After Yan Wang stood up, he respectfully asked, "I don't know why the sage came here today?"

Zhunti heard the words, smiled, and said: "Yan Wang, why do you ask questions knowingly? I came this time, but I came here for the hell!"

"I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate. The underworld is in the east, and you are a saint from the west. If you intervene in this matter, I'm afraid the saints from the east will not agree." King Hades said boldly.

Zhunti heard the words, shook his head and said: "The hell is not the hell in the east, but the hell of the common people. Besides, countless evil spirits and fierce ghosts in the six cycles of reincarnation cannot be saved. If my disciple is allowed to stay in the hell, chant the Dharma every day, Transforming wronged souls can also make them reincarnate earlier, which is undoubtedly a thing that is beneficial to the common people."

"But where are the saints in the East, the villain is not easy to explain!" Hades said with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"You don't need to worry about this. Empress Nuwa has always been pure and doesn't care about disputes. As for Sanqing, I will support myself." Zhun Ti said.

"Back then, the Empress Dowager of your witch tribe was so compassionate that she did not hesitate to die to transform into the underworld. I was by the side at that time, and fellow Daoist Houtu asked me to take care of the underworld. Therefore, although San Qing will be dissatisfied with this matter, but But there won't be any big moves, please rest assured, King Hades." Zhun Ti said.

"Then this matter is up to the sage!" Hades thought for a while and said.

"I see the place where ghosts are entangled in the Yinshan Mountain of the underworld. Why don't you let my disciple station there!" Zhunti said.

"It's fine if the sage decides, I'll take my leave first!" Yama Wang said.

After speaking, Hades led the people away.

After Yan Wang left, Zhunti said to Dizang: "You go to Yinshan Mountain. I left first for the teacher. If there is anything you can't handle, you can come to me."

"Disciple understands, disciple respectfully sends teacher off," Dizang clasped his palms together and said.

"Okay, see you and my master and apprentice someday!" After finishing speaking, Zhunti disappeared.

Ksitigarbha recited the scriptures and headed towards the Yin mountain. Along the way, those ordinary little ghosts knelt down one after another, asking for refuge.

When Ksitigarbha came to Yinshan Mountain, he pointed to the seat to listen to it, and it disappeared. However, Ksitigarbha turned into a cassock covering his right shoulder, holding a lotus in his left hand and Shi Wuwei in his right, sitting on the lotus platform.Or there is a banner, holding a lotus flower in the left hand and a precious pearl in the right hand, making a great wish: "May I spend all the kalpas in the future, and all living beings who suffer from sins will be freed. Like before, but after hundreds of millions of kalpas, there should be all the hells in the world, as well as the three evil ways and all sinful beings, vowing to rescue them. Let them leave the hells and evil places, animals, hungry ghosts, etc. Those who have repaid their sins, etc., will do their best. After becoming a Buddha, I will then become enlightened. Only when all sentient beings have been liberated can I realize Bodhi. If the hell is not empty, I vow not to become a Buddha. So good, so good! Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!"

As soon as these words came out, the Heavenly Dao suddenly sensed, and a golden light of merit fell, which instantly submerged into the body of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. With the help of merit, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also broke through to the early stage of quasi-sage.

After a breakthrough in cultivation, I saw that the six relics in the Buddha light above the head of the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha turned into golden bodies of six Bodhisattvas. The six are: Tantuo Ksitigarbha. The human head building, with the nectar seal on the right hand, is dedicated to helping sentient beings in the hell realm.Orb Ksitigarbha, with the orb in his left hand and the nectar seal in his right hand, is dedicated to saving hungry ghosts.

Baoyin Dizang, holding a tin stick in his left hand and a Ruyi Baoyin in his right hand, is dedicated to helping animals.

Holding Dizang, holding the Vajra Banner in the left hand, and performing the fearless seal in the right hand, it is dedicated to helping the Asura.

Ksitigarbha, holding a tin stick in his left hand and a wish seal in his right hand, removes the hindrances of the eight sufferings for others, and specializes in saving humanity.The so-called eight sufferings are birth suffering, old age suffering, sickness suffering, death suffering, meeting hatred and hatred, separation from love, not getting what one wants, and suffering of the five skandhas, which are captured by the truth of suffering.

Sunlight Ksitigarbha, with wishful beads in his left hand and seal of Dharma in his right hand, illuminates the five declines of heaven and man and eliminates their distress, and specializes in saving the way of heaven.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva appeared behind the golden body, stood still, and recited scriptures.Immediately, streaks of pure and flawless golden light emanated from Jizo's side.All those ghosts who were shrouded in golden light suddenly lost their blackness, revealing their original faces one by one.After the hostility disappeared from their faces, under the golden light, the ghosts showed expressions of relief one by one, gathered around Ksitigarbha, and listened attentively to his chanting.

The Buddhist scriptures have the effect of purifying the mind and clearing the mind, which is very obvious for most ghosts who are confused by the evil way. Those evil ghosts who have been rescued by the Buddha's light will soon be freed, their sins will be eliminated, and they will meet the requirements of reincarnation and reincarnation. up.

After seeing the power of Ksitigarbha, more and more ghosts refused to leave.After practicing the Taoism handed down by Dizang, these ghosts who stayed with Dizang discovered that they can also help to save evil spirits, and each time they are saved, they can also gain a little merit, which in turn can be used as an example. Help Ksitigarbha to attract more people, so Ksitigarbha gradually gathered a lot of power.

At first, only a few passing ghosts were saved by him, but after a long time, it spread among those ghosts.So the ghosts of the underworld began to gather slowly towards the place where the Tibetans were.Listen to Dizang talk about longitude.

Every time Ksitigarbha turns into a ghost, God will give him a little merit.After discovering that this method was effective, Ksitigarbha stayed here, concentrating on collecting merits and virtues.
