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

Chapter 45 Venerable First Fruit, Nirvana Dharmakaya!

The grand and solemn Buddhist chanting, like a tidal wave, poured in from all directions.

The vast power of Buddha, cleansing the surrounding area.

A sudden vision appeared in the night sky, and the golden light shone, which had already alarmed the remaining monks in Bujin Temple.

All the monks woke up from their sleep and put on their clothes one after another to go out.

Witnessing the golden statue, the Buddha's light was overflowing, the coercion was mighty, and an extremely shocking expression enveloped his face.

"My Buddha, which Buddha grandpa came to my Bujin Temple?"

"The movement seems to be coming from the presiding room. Could it be that Zen Master Yulin is happy to prove his fruit status?"

"Amitabha, you are so blind! Didn't you see the golden statue? It's not the abbot old Zen master at all!"

"Guru Bodhidharma! It's Guru Bodhidharma!"

"Dharma... Zombie?"

The monks talked a lot.

The expression on the face is either shocked, surprised, or excited.

But all of them turned to Bodhidharma Dharma body, chanted the Buddha's name, and knelt down to worship.

Under the Bodhi tree.

The white-browed old monk also sensed the surge of Buddha's power, and opened his eyes involuntarily.

"When the flowers bloom and see the Buddha, you will realize the first fruit! Amitabha, so good!"

The white-browed old monk smiled.

"It seems that the old monk is no longer needed here!"

The reason why he stayed in Sibukin Temple temporarily was that just like Bodhidharma, he found that the spiritual energy in the temple was leaking out, thinking that there must be evil spirits.

Only then did he stay, wanting to help Bujin Temple to slay demons.

But now, since there are masters in the temple, he doesn't have to worry about it.

It's over.

The white-browed old monk stood up, tidied up the golden Buddha, held a tin stick, and set foot on the road to the east.

at the same time.

Abbot Zhong.

Zen Master Yulin looked at Bodhidharma, already stunned, his face full of disbelief.

"This this……"

For a moment I was speechless.

It took a while before he woke up from the shock.

"Brother Bodhidharma has actually attained fruit status?"

Looking at Bodhidharma sitting on a lotus platform in mid-air, Chan Master Yulin still couldn't believe it.

He knew that Bodhidharma had been worshiped by Zen Master Kongxiang for less than a month.

He has attained the first fruition of the Venerable!
This kind of cultivation talent can only be described by the word "horror"!

"Both of us are human beings, and we both come from the same school. So the gap is really so big!"

Zen Master Yulin laughed at himself.

I originally thought that only by myself can I obtain a Bodhi Buddha light from the scriptures, which is already the method of Su Huiyuan.

Who knows, a mountain is higher than a mountain.

When Bodhidharma heard the mantra of the ancient Buddha for the first time, he immediately realized the true meaning of Nirvana!

His cultivation has directly broken through the realm of the Mahayana Heavenly Dragon, and he has achieved the first fruition of the Venerable Xutuohuan!
With a white body, he devoted himself to Buddhism in less than a month.

Now it has been proven.

Continuing at this speed, Bodhidharma may be able to attain the Buddhahood before approaching Nanfang Buzhou.

"I've heard that this son is very intelligent, but I didn't expect to see him today, and he's a thousand times or ten thousand times more terrifying than I imagined!"

"It's no wonder that the master passed on the lantern to him before he passed away!"

While amazed, Zen Master Yulin was even more delighted, "With a genius like Bodhidharma, I will definitely be able to carry forward my Zen master!"

Before that, everything about Bodhidharma was after all rumors in the letter.

Now seeing it with his own eyes, Zen Master Yulin was finally completely impressed.

Immediately, he stood up straight, facing Bodhidharma, bowed his hands together, and recited the Buddha's name.

Today, Bodhidharma has obtained fruit status.

Although he is a senior brother, he is just an ordinary monk after all.

The time for a stick of incense flies by.

The room was full of golden light, gradually dissipating.

Dharma floated back to the ground.

But seeing the skin all over his body, as if wrapped in gold powder, shining brightly, the treasure looks solemn, and there is a slight smile on his face.

A circle of Bodhi Buddha light loomed behind his head.

"Junior brother has wonderfully realized Bodhi and has attained the first fruit of the Venerable Master. Congratulations!"

Zen Master Yulin bowed in praise.

On that somewhat skinny face, there was a hint of joy and envy.

The fruit position of the venerable is divided into the first fruit of Xutuohuan, the second fruit of Si Tuohan, and the third fruit of Anahan.

Finally, one can advance to Arhatship!
For Hinayana, Arhatship is the highest level of Buddhist practice.

But Bodhidharma practiced Mahayana.

On top of the Arhat status, there are Bodhisattva status and Buddha status.

Zen Master Yulin has practiced hard for decades, but he is still unable to break through the realm of the Mahayana Heavenly Dragon.

For him, only he himself knows what an unattainable honor the venerable status is.

"Thank you, Brother Yulin!"

Dharma smiled back.

A Mahaparinirvana Sutra not only allowed him to skyrocket his cultivation, but also allowed him to attain the status of the Venerable.

more importantly.

Under the automatic deduction of the system, he also cultivated a supreme supernatural power.

Nirvana dharmakaya!

Eliminate the cause and effect of life and death, transcend the torrent of samsara!

From then on, with only this dharma body, he can reshape his remnant soul and be reborn with a drop of blood!

Of course, Bodhidharma knew it in his heart.

If Zen Master Yulin hadn't been proficient in ancient Chinese and recited Sanskrit, he would not have been able to comprehend the true meaning of Nirvana.

Human affection in the world is also cause and effect!
You have to pay it back early!

After all, although he has attained the first fruition of the Venerable, he is far from the Buddhahood.

Only by truly realizing Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi and becoming a Buddha can we transcend the Four Noble Truths and be free from all cause and effect in the world!
Think about this.

Dharma suddenly remembered something.

Or take this opportunity to repay the favor and end the cause and effect.

"Brother Yulin, when I first arrived at Bujin Temple, I saw that the Buddha's light in the temple was dim, and the spiritual energy leaked out. It seems that there are evil spirits invading?"

Hearing this, Zen Master Yulin's expression froze.

Paused.

He just nodded and said in a deep voice, "Not bad!"

"Bujin Temple is the pure place of my Buddhist sect, how can evil demons and heretics be allowed to run wild!"

Bodhidharma raised his eyebrows, "I hope senior brother can tell me in detail, I am willing to stay for a few days to help senior brother subdue demons!"

Knowing that Bujin Temple suffered from evil spirits, causing the spiritual energy to leak out, Zen Master Yulin still couldn't solve it.

Undoubtedly, it must be because the demons are so powerful that they cannot deal with them with their cultivation.

That's why Zen Master Yulin dismissed the monks in the temple.

This also explains why there are few people in the temple.

At this time, Bodhidharma has proved the status of the Venerable Master, and his cultivation power is even higher than that of Zen Master Yulin.

If they can stay and help each other, the odds of winning will be much greater.

But Chan Master Yulin shook his head, "The kindness of my younger brother, I appreciate it!"

Sitting back on the futon again, holding the mudra cross-legged, with a calm expression.

It seems that he didn't take the evil thing to heart at all.

"The intrusion of evil spirits is both a calamity and a certainty. The monks accept it. For this old monk, this is not a practice!"

Zen Master Yulin smiled slightly.

Although he said so in his mouth, he didn't necessarily think so in his heart.

You know, the evil god, Black Raksha, has great supernatural powers.

In the past, he commanded the Raksha clan to cause chaos in Lingshan, and all the gods and Buddhas of the heavens had nothing to do with him.

In the end, if the World Honored One hadn't personally acted, I'm afraid it would be difficult to subdue.

Although Bodhidharma has achieved the first fruit of the Venerable, he is by no means an opponent of the Black Rakshasa.

more importantly.

With Bodhidharma's wisdom and comprehension, future achievements are limitless.

Wouldn't it be a pity to die here!

Zen Master Yulin thought twice before rejecting Bodhidharma's kind offer.

This matter should not involve outsiders.

"Senior Brother Yulin, even though that's the case, but..."

Bodhidharma still wants to persuade.

But Zen Master Yulin had already made up his mind, even though he was eloquent, he didn't give him a chance at all.

Before Bodhidharma finished speaking, he interrupted.

"Junior brother, it's a long way to go to Nanbuzhou, I dare not stay longer!"

Zen Master Yulin turned his head and glanced out of the window, "It's getting late, junior brother rests first, and leaves the monastery early tomorrow morning, let's go!"

The implication could not be more obvious.

Unceremoniously, Bodhidharma was ordered to evict guests.

Done.

Zen Master Yulin closed his eyes, held the seal and settled down, and ignored Bodhidharma.

"Brother Yulin..."

Dharma frowned slightly.

Of course he understood that the reason why Chan Master Yulin was so determined was because he didn't want to hurt others.

It seems that Chan Master Yulin has long since made up his mind to be alone and die in martyrdom!

"Amitabha!"

After bowing to Zen Master Yulin, Bodhidharma turned around and left the monastery.
