Journey to the West: The poor monk Bodhidharma, the supreme Buddhist and Taoist

Chapter 2

As soon as this remark came out, the scene was slightly quiet.

All the monks looked enviously at Bodhidharma.

You know, Zen Master Kongxiang is the reincarnation of the karmic body of Lingshan Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva!
Together with Amitabha Buddha and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, they are called the existence of the Three Saints of Lingshan!

Not only is he proficient in the magic method of Samana.

What's more, Zen Master Kongxiang also possesses many supernatural powers of Buddhism.

As one of the four famous temples in Hezhou, Xiniu, Landa Temple itself also has an extremely powerful heritage.

It is precisely because of this that the Landa Temple can stand at the foot of Lingshan.

So far, Zen Master Kongxiang has only eight direct disciples.

But all of them are Zen masters sitting in a temple.

There are also six disciples under the seat, named Fahai.

With his extraordinary talent, he has already cultivated into the golden body of Arhat.

At this time, he was wandering in Hezhou, Xiniu, where the mortal world went through calamities, eliminating demons and subduing demons.

but.

Among the many disciples, no one can inherit the mantle of Zen Master Kongxiang.

This is the first time that Zen master Kong Xiang personally promised to pass on the mantle to Bodhidharma!
And in front of so many people.

However, having said that, Bodhidharma's roots of wisdom are also worthy of the mantle of Zen Master Kongxiang.

Unexpectedly, Bodhidharma pondered for a moment, and instead asked, "Why did Master teach me?"

He has a system now.

Buddhist practice, automatic deduction, instant comprehension, no need for others to point out.

If the other party doesn't have enough background to make him tempted, he will naturally not easily apprentice.

"Disciples of Shimen, come out of the world to realize the Buddha, and enter the world to subdue the demons!"

Seeming to see through Bodhidharma's thoughts at a glance, Zen Master Kongxiang smiled slightly.

"How to cast down demons?"

Dharma was moved.

As a newcomer, he knows little about this strange world.

"Dharma to subdue demons, supernatural powers to subdue demons!"

Zen Master Kongxiang's words made Bodhidharma understand many things immediately.

Practicing Buddhism is to understand the mind and see the nature, in order to seek Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, without self-comfort.

Equivalent to exercises.

And the purpose of cultivating Buddhist supernatural powers is to enter the world and experience calamities, and to destroy the demons in the world.

Similar to martial arts.

Only by cultivating Buddhist supernatural powers can you prove the Buddhahood!

"This world is really not simple!"

Dharma thought to himself.

Otherwise, just practice the Dharma.

Why do you need to practice supernatural powers to subdue demons?
It seems that the demonic energy I saw last night was not a dream.

This strange world is indeed full of demons and ghosts.

If I only understand Buddhist principles but do not practice supernatural powers, I am afraid that in the future I will only be able to live in a temple, an ancient Buddha with blue lanterns, and live my whole life.

If you can cultivate the supernatural powers of Buddhism, you can enter the world to practice and strengthen your Zen mind.

But the problem is.

Supernatural powers are the supreme secret method of Buddhism. If it is not for the transmission of lamps and initiations, ordinary monks in the temple will not have the chance to see it even if they spend their entire lives.

Bodhidharma looked up at Zen Master Kongxiang.

This white-clothed old monk has a haggard appearance, but he is hale and hearty, with a solemn treasure appearance, surrounded by faint Buddha light.

Obviously a good monk.

If you can teach them all, you will be able to learn a lot.

Think here.

Bodhidharma immediately held the ceremony of worshiping the Buddha, and acted as a Zen master of Kongxiang.

"Thank you Master for your guidance!"

"Good, good!"

Zen Master Kongxiang was full of joy and recited softly in his mouth.

"All kinds of seeds are born from the heart and ground, and the physical body is revived due to things, the fruit is full of Bodhi, and the flowers bloom in the world!"

The voice did not fall.

Wisdom and Buddha's light flowed out from the palm of his hand.

Like a trickle, it flows into the Bodhidharma Lingtai.

But seeing Bodhidharma's eyebrows, under the influence of Buddha's light, a golden swastika Buddha seal was formed.

Seeing this, all the monks present showed envious expressions on their faces.

Obviously, Zen master Kongxiang gave the seal at the top of the rubbing.

The supernatural power cultivated by Zen master Kongxiang is the power of great momentum, joy and sacrifice, and the Buddha's light contains supreme wisdom.

Those who hold this Buddha seal will have the supreme power, all evils will not invade, and when they practice, they will all absorb the six roots, and the pure thoughts will be perfect, and the result will be twice the result with half the effort.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the wish power of the great trend to joy and sacrifice. The system has automatically deduced to the perfect state."

At this moment, the system prompt sounded.

Is the general trend of joy and willingness to give up?
Bodhidharma put his palms together without changing his mind.

Suddenly, hundreds of millions of Buddha lights erupted from him, and swept out in an instant.

The entire Landa Temple is shrouded in a peaceful and wise Buddha light.

Just like the breeze blowing on the face and the moon shining on the heart, all the monks in the temple suddenly felt that the Lingtai was clear, their minds were clear, and their minds became more flexible.

Those previously obscure Buddhist scriptures and meanings can be explained in an instant, and they suddenly become enlightened.

"W-what's the matter?"

The monks in the temple looked at each other in shock and joy.

Even Zen Master Kongxiang was shocked.

The natal supernatural power he practiced in this world is the power of the great trend, joy and sacrifice, so he is especially familiar with it.

At this time, the Buddha light emanating from Bodhidharma is exactly the power of willingness to give up!

"Originally, the old monk wanted to use the power of the willingness to give up to give him a seal... Bodhidharma actually realized the power of the willingness to give up from the magic power of the old monk's seal?!"

Even more incredible.

Judging from Bodhidharma's willingness to give up and give up, his realm is even comparable to Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva!
Zen Master Kongxiang took a light breath.

"This, this... is indeed a genius!"

He was surprised and delighted.

look up.

Those birds and ants living in the Landa Temple bathed in the power of the Buddha's light and vows, and they also gave birth to spiritual wisdom.

If given time, and chances come again, he can practice to become a demon.

Not to mention the monks in the temple.

Originally, Zen master Kongxiang wanted to rub the top to grant seals to help Bodhidharma practice.

Unexpectedly, Bodhidharma's willingness to give up is a million times stronger than he is now.

"Genius! Absolutely a genius!"

Zen Master Kongxiang was very excited.

His state of mind has long been cultivated to be as calm as an ancient well.

But at this time, it also set off a stormy sea.

After a while.

Zen Master Kongxiang did not speak until the Buddha light on Bodhidharma died out.

"Dharma, you come with me!"

After saying that, he brought Bodhidharma to the back mountain.

The mountains and forests are quiet, with green trees and green vines.

A clear spring flies down from the high place of the cliff, fighting and snaking like rings.

Zen Master Kongxiang stretched his palms towards the sky.

The radiant Buddha light diffused out.

Form an enchantment, covering the surrounding area.

"This is the Sumeru Vajra enchantment, which isolates evil spirits, and stays in it without being disturbed by foreign objects!"

Dharma nodded, "Understood!"

Such a move is by no means selfish by Zen Master Kongxiang.

The so-called, the law does not spread to six ears.

The supernatural power of Buddhism is a supreme secret method with infinite power.

If there is no foundation of Dharma, forcibly cultivating supernatural powers will do a lot of harm but not a single benefit.

Therefore, Zen Master Kongxiang isolated the outside world with a barrier to prevent evil spirits from peeping.

"You are gifted and intelligent, you are born with Su Hui, you have a wonderful understanding of Buddhist principles, and your achievements in the future will surpass me!"

Fortunately, the monks from Landa Monastery were not there.

Otherwise, you have to go crazy again.

Zen Master Kongxiang is the reincarnation of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva.

He actually asserted that Bodhidharma's future achievements are still higher than his.

Wouldn't that be a disguised admission that with Bodhidharma's aptitude, it is possible to become a Buddha?
