I!The Many Treasures Tathagata

Chapter 97 One Flower One World, One Leaf One Buddha
Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books.

Although Duobao said a lot of words critical of Buddhism, they are so deviant.

But Ksitigarbha's intuition told him that what Duobao said was probably the truth.

Not to mention anything else, just because Duobao dared to question the authority of Jieyin and Zhunti in the field of Buddhism, the respect of Dizang for Duobao is like a high mountain.

Dizang eagerly wanted to know all of Duobao's understanding of Buddhism.

"Buddha, is the disciple's way wrong?"

Ksitigarbha asked confusedly, looking at the countless fiery ghosts before the gate of hell, for a moment, he didn't know whether he should continue to transform them.

"One flower one world, one leaf one Buddha."

"Everyone's understanding of Buddhism is different."

"Everyone's path is different."

"Whether your way is right or wrong, you have to ask your own heart."

Duobao looked at Jizo indifferently, feeling a little happy in his heart.

He has studied all the Buddhist scriptures of Ksitigarbha. In addition to fully comprehending Ksitigarbha's great wish of "hell is not empty, and he will never become a Buddha", he has another surprise, that is, he fully understands Ksitigarbha's entire worldview and values.

This allowed him to accurately grasp the changes in Ksitigarbha's mind, and in this very short time, quickly shorten the relationship with Ksitigarbha.

Many of the words he said to Dizang are the original words in the Buddhist scriptures of Dizang. He only slightly changed them, and mixed a little of his personal perception.

Most of this is what Ksitigarbha himself said, so naturally it reached his heart all at once.

"Ask myself?"

Jizo thought deeply.

The way he chose is to cross all the ghosts in the world.

What is the ultimate purpose of this?
I want all living beings to enter the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss and no longer suffer from the cycle of reincarnation.

But before the Buddha said I was wrong.

Dizang thought of what Duobao said before.

"The three realms operate, and the six reincarnations are the core."

"If you get rid of the evil spirits in this world, get rid of the pain, and enter the Land of Ultimate Bliss, where there will be no reincarnation, then the world will be a pool of stagnant water."

"You know, there is light only when there is darkness, and there is only white when there is black. If all living beings are blissful, there will be no pure land in the world."

"This move is against the law of heaven and human relations."

Ksitigarbha tasted these words repeatedly, and he had some understanding in his heart, but he was still more confused and needed Duobao's clarification.

All sentient beings have entered the Land of Ultimate Bliss, where there is no more miasma in the world of mortals, no more pain and entanglement, shouldn't it be a good thing?
How could it be against the law of nature and human ethics?
"Buddha, in your mind, what should the Land of Ultimate Bliss look like?"

Ksitigarbha asked confusedly, this question is very critical, and it determines whether he will continue on his path.

After listening to Dizang's words, Duobao smiled lightly, and said without thinking.

"free!"

"fair!"

"democracy!"

"Fuqiang!"

"friendly!"

"Professional!"

"Integrity!"

When Duobao himself was studying Confucianism and Taoism, he integrated these 24-character mantras with the Confucianism of his previous life.

If you use Confucianism and Taoism, this is the world of Datong.

When Ksitigarbha heard the words, his heart was even more touched.

Jieyin and Zhunti have been promoting the Buddhist Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.

But what exactly is the world of bliss, they have never accurately defined and described it.

It seems that those believers are in the Buddha Kingdom in their palms all day long, worshiping Buddha and chanting scriptures day and night, contributing the power of faith, without desire or desire, it is the world of ultimate bliss.

Jizo originally thought that was the case.

Although such a blissful world is a bit boring, believers here do not need to experience thousands of reincarnations, and do not need to experience the pain of life and death.

But now, Duobao has accurately defined the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss in 24 characters.

Leaving aside whether this definition is accurate or not, just the definition itself is already ahead of the guide and quasi-mention.

Ksitigarbha completely understood the saying "Dharma is Dharma, Buddhism is Buddhism".

Amitabha Buddha and Zhunti Buddha Mother are the guides. They have not yet fully comprehended the Dharma, and we, the disciples, need to continue to explore.

"The world of bliss in everyone's mind is also different."

"But I think, no matter what the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss looks like, it will definitely not be what Buddhism says now."

"In the palm of the Buddha's country all day long, I contribute the power of faith like a captive livestock. Living like a walking corpse is no different from death, and it is even more uncomfortable than death."

"An ancient Buddha with blue lanterns all day long, without sorrow or joy, without birth or death, thousands of years are like a day."

"What kind of paradise is this, this is hell!"

"When you cross ghosts and enter such a blissful world, are you helping them or harming them?"

"Buddhism opens the door of convenience, and both good and evil can enter. Is this a great mercy, or is it calculating them to become livestock and constantly generate the power of faith."

While Duobao was talking, the most terrifying hell among the eighteen layers of hell appeared behind him.

The reason why Infernal Hell is the most terrifying lies in the word Infernal Affairs.

In the uninterrupted hell, there is no concept of time.

All punishments, all pains are eternal, every minute and every second will never stop, and there will be no change at all.

From this point of view, in the so-called Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, believers are also devoutly chanting sutras every minute and every second, without any change, until eternity.

Dizang looked at it and trembled all over, his world view completely collapsed.

Is this the same blissful world as Infernal Hell, or is it still a blissful world?

The Mount Sumeru Buddhism that I have always believed in is really wrong!
