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

Chapter 20 The World-Honored One of Buddhism, Three Treasures!
"All dharmas come into existence by cause and condition. I say that it is cause and condition. When the cause and condition are exhausted, they will perish. This is what I said!"

Void and mighty.

A Buddha's voice suddenly resounded, solemn and grand, but full of compassion.

The celestial girl's bouquet is scattered, and the fairy music is sweet.

The dragon elephant is galloping, circling around the Dharma protector.

24 white rainbows across the sky, emitting the light of relics, shining in the sky.

Deep in the heart of heaven.

A big golden lotus emerged out of thin air, slowly blooming, filling the sky with a strange fragrance, and suddenly turned into a nine-grade lotus platform.

With a golden body measuring six feet in length, he sits in lotus position.

But I saw the golden Buddha, shrouded in the light of the ten thousand zhang sandalwood Buddha.

Buddha's light shines.

Like a warm spring breeze, it swept over everyone present.

The golden Buddha lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, with a solemn treasure appearance, looking down at the sentient beings in the lower realm.

Everywhere you look, there is compassion.

There is no sense of coercion in the whole body, but it is awe-inspiring.

"Tathagata... Buddha?!"

Xiniu Hezhou is the place where Buddhism thrives.

All the men, women, old and young here, worship monks in every household, and all worship Buddha.

A clay sculpture and wood carving in the temple, unable to speak or move, can still make the world superstitious and crazy.

What's more, the Buddha now manifests his spirit in front of the public with his golden body and true face.

One can imagine the sensation of that scene!

Everyone at the scene clapped their hands together and knelt down in a hurry, kowtowing reverently.

"Namo Amitabha!"

Even, the surprise came too suddenly.

Everyone was only paying attention to worship, and forgot to pray to the Buddha for blessings.

"Sure enough, it is the World Honored One of Buddhism!"

Su Tian was secretly startled.

Although she is a Taoist disciple, the Tathagata is the ancestor of all Buddhas, the World Honored One of the Buddha School, presiding over the world of Xiniu Hezhou, just like a prince in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Seeing such a big shot in the world of gods and Buddhas, who is as insignificant as her, she can only bow down to see him.

"The World Honored One is here in person, I'm afraid he came to Xingshi to inquire about his crimes!"

Su Tian looked at Bodhidharma worriedly.

Although it is said that the Poison Fire Ghost King deserved his crimes and deserved his death, it is also true that Damo Town killed Wei Hu.

This face is almost swollen, how can Tathagata let it go?

thought here.

Su Tianxin smiled wryly again.

Things have developed to such a point, let alone whether the flying golden sword can save Bodhidharma's life.

However, Bodhidharma didn't seem to have the slightest sense of panic.

Witness the moment when the Buddha appeared.

The state of mind that had been slightly turbulent immediately calmed down again.

Bodhidharma stood tall, looking at the six-foot-long golden body, calm and calm.

If it was any other ordinary monk, no matter if he committed a crime or not, he would have been so frightened that he would kneel and kowtow by now.

Just like those ordinary people.

Paused.

Bodhidharma folded his palms together and said, "Disciple Bodhidharma, I have met the World Honored One!"

After all, the other party is the World Honored One of Buddhism, and as a disciple of Buddhism, he still has the respect he should have.

However, his expression and demeanor are neither humble nor overbearing.

Not to mention panic and fear.

In Bodhidharma's heart, all living beings are equal.

The Buddha's ants are all ordinary.

If a Buddhist practitioner can't cut off the Tathagata in his heart, how can he become a Tathagata?

Seeing this, Tathagata didn't feel disobedient at all, but smiled and nodded.

"Bodhidharma, in front of Dashi Zhiye, you made a great wish to go to Nanfangbuzhou to preach and spread the Dharma. This is an immeasurable merit and virtue, so good!"

There was a hint of unconcealable appreciation in his voice.

Hearing this, Su Tianxin breathed a sigh of relief, "This is the kindness that the World-Honored One of Buddhism should have!"

Su Tianxin felt a little admiration for the Buddhist boss in front of him.

If it were the Yuanshi Tianzun of the Taoist sect, he would have slapped him with a slap.

"Subduing demons and subduing demons, and saving all living beings, is the duty of my Buddhist disciples!"

Dharma bowed and said.

"Good! Very good!"

Tathagata nodded in satisfaction.

"It's difficult and dangerous to go to Nanbuzhou. I will give you three treasures to protect you!"

Waiting for Dharma to react.

Three beams of precious energy flew straight out and landed in front of Bodhidharma.

There is more than a foot in the air, and the precious light shines everywhere.

Bodhidharma looked intently, his pupils shrank sharply.

"Brocade cassock? Nine-ringed tin rod? Sumeru golden bowl?"

These three pieces are all the supreme treasures of Buddhism!

Non-Tathagata disciples will not pass it on!
For example, Tang Xuanzang a hundred years later.

Unexpectedly, the Tathagata was willing to give it away?

If things go out of the ordinary, there must be a demon!
Bodhidharma hesitated a little, and stretched out his hand to hold the brocade cassock.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the most precious treasure of Buddhism 'Jinyi Cassock'."

"The system has automatically removed the forbidden spell."

Forbidden spell? !
Dharma sneered secretly.

Unsurprisingly, Tathagata would never be so kind and easily give treasures to others.

Sure enough, there is something tricky hidden in it!
However, even if the Tathagata has calculated thousands of times, it can't be counted that he has a system to protect himself.

"Ok?"

Tathagata was taken aback suddenly.

It turned out that he secretly cast a curse on the cassock.

Once Bodhidharma puts on the brocade cassock, the curse will take root in his body.

As long as Bodhidharma has a slight deviation, he will know immediately, and Bodhidharma is in pain, and life is worse than death.

Tathagata's determination depends on Bodhidharma's cultivation, so it cannot be detected or unraveled.

In this way, Bodhidharma can only be obedient in the future.

Things such as violating the Buddha's decree will never happen again in the future.

What makes Tathagata puzzled is.

Just a moment ago, he suddenly sensed that the curse had disappeared inexplicably.

"Could it be... this Bodhidharma is really protected by a Taoist saint?"

Tathagata frowned inwardly.

At this time, Nanfangbuzhou is in the autumn of the Five Demons' troubled times, and the Taoist sect has no time to look around.

This just gave Buddhism an opportunity to move eastward.

More importantly, this matter has been laid out for hundreds of years.

Now it's just a matter of chance.

If Buddhism succeeds in advancing eastward and prospers in Nanfang Buzhou, as the World Honored One of Buddhism, the Tathagata will be able to obtain immeasurable luck and merit, and then become a saint.

At that time, there will be three saints in the west, who can really stand up to the Taoist sect.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture, Bodhidharma was born in Hezhou, Xiniu with the Yuxu Heaven Tribulation Curse.

Tathagata couldn't help doubting it.

"Well, you Daoist, you are so despicable, and you have planted an inner ghost in my Buddhist sect!"

Moreover, the Tathagata operates his wisdom eye to see all the heavens and worlds.

No one knows about Damo's background.

This makes Tathagata's idea even more solid.

However, Tathagata pretended not to know, so as not to cause complications.

Journey to the west to measure calamities, and Buddhism to advance to the east, this is a foregone conclusion, and no one can change it.

And Bodhidharma's thoughts are almost the same as those of Tathagata.

After all, he has self-knowledge.

With his current strength, it is not suitable to tear face with Tathagata.

Don't tell me if you see through!
This is a kind of great wisdom!

"Thank you World Honored One for bestowing the treasure!"

Bodhidharma said, gently shaking off the brocade cassock.

But on the cassock, there are wishful beads, mani beads, dust-proof beads, wind-fixing beads, red agates, emeralds, night pearls, and relics.

The celestial spirit fills the sky, and the auspicious light holds the saint.

Eight treasures, gold lotus, hanging beads and stars.

For three days, mysterious light shines through the gate, and precious energy is born in front of May Mountain.

"This is a real treasure!"

Everyone at the scene was dazzled.

Dozens of pairs of scorching eyes stared straight at the treasure on the cassock, reluctant to move away for a moment.

"Wear my cassock, defend yourself against evil spirits, and avoid reincarnation!"

"Hold my tin rod to frighten the netherworld, and all evil will not invade!"

"Entrust me with a golden bowl, go to the sky and enter the earth, and subdue demons!"

Tathagata declared.

"My Buddha is merciful!"

Everyone praised.

At this moment.

Bodhidharma has put on his cassock.

Holding a tin rod with nine rings and holding a gold sumeru bowl.

All over the body, the gods are majestic, and the Buddha's light is shining, illuminating the heaven and earth.

It actually reflects each other with the golden body of the Tathagata, which makes people dare not look at it closely.

"Good, good!"

Tathagata smiled and nodded.

Turning his eyes, he looked down at all living beings.

"If you want to know the cause of the previous life, you will repay it in this life; if you want to know the result in the future life, you will do it in this life!"

The sound is like a bell, shaking away chaos.

The ten thousand zhang Buddha's light illuminates the heavens.

"The poisonous fire ghost king was originally the lamp flame in the eight-treasure glass cup in front of my seat. He listened to the scriptures beside me every day. Over time, he cultivated supernatural powers..."

"The day before yesterday, while I was taking a nap, I fled down the mountain privately, doing evil in the mortal world, ruining the reputation of my Buddhist school, and causing the sky to be angry and angry. I ordered Wei Tuotian to come and capture him back to the mountain, but there were twists and turns..."

After hearing Tathagata's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.

Only Bodhidharma sneered, "Why do these words sound so familiar?"

In the original Journey to the West, there are a lot of them at hand.

Tradition only!

Just listen to Tathagata continue to speak.

"Annotation and incident, everything has a fixed number!"

"Your karma has not been eliminated, and now you suffer this misfortune, but it is the cause and condition of your previous life, so you have this retribution!"

"May you practice all good dharmas in the world to realize anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, and escape from the sea of ​​suffering in Jambudha as soon as possible!"

"Goodness, goodness!"

In a word.

Mortal beings are like ants, and all sufferings are destined, there is no need to resist, just accept it!

As for the blessings in the next life, unless you take refuge in my Buddha, you will be freed!

but.

From the beginning to the end, Tathagata never mentioned his lax discipline.

It's even more sad.

All the people at the scene, completely unaware, folded their palms together and took refuge, praising endlessly.

"Thank you World Honored One for enlightening the maze!"

"After the good man returns this time, he must recite the Buddha's scriptures in the morning and evening, in order to save himself!"

"My Buddha is merciful!"

Even if some people feel a little inappropriate.

However, the Tathagata's golden body is here, who dares to question and refute?
Seeing the admiration of the crowd, Tathagata smiled slightly.

The purpose of this trip has been achieved!
Just about to drive back to Lingshan.

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Cause and effect, effect and effect cause and cause, the cause must bear the effect, and the effect will be the cause again, and the cause and the effect are also the cause!"

Bodhidharma folded his palms together and stood up.

"My disciple dares to ask the World-Honored One. The World-Honored One said just now that these mortals suffer today's misfortune because of the cause and condition of the past life. The previous cause is established, and now the result has been repaid. This result has another cause. What will this cause bring about?"
