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

Chapter 59 Arhatship!
Under the shocked gaze of Zen Master Yulin.

But seeing Bodhidharma holding shell leaves in his hands and reciting the Vajra Sutra, he has already entered the state of meditation and selflessness.

"The Tathagata said that the appearance of the body is not the appearance of the body...all the appearances are illusory. If you see that the appearance is not the appearance, you will see the Tathagata..."

The mysterious gray diamond scriptures were clearly spit out from Bodhidharma's mouth.

Every word is like a thunderclap.

For a while, Sanskrit and Buddha singing sounded.

Like an ancient bronze bell passing through the heavens and sentient beings, its sound shook all over the world.

Again it was like a private whisper.

Da Yin Xisheng.

Even more amazing.

Those wonderfully shaped ancient Sanskrit characters turned into large golden characters, flying into the void, and lingering around Bodhidharma's body.

Immediately, the golden characters kept changing, like copper and iron, constantly casting Bodhidharma's body.

Not long after.

Brilliant sandalwood Buddha light, attached to Bodhidharma's body.

The skin all over his body seemed to be coated with a layer of gold powder.

The sandalwood Buddha light even melts into Bodhidharma's skin.

The qi and blood in the body, and even every inch of bone, are continuously strengthened under the casting of gold characters.

But Bodhidharma's golden light was all over his body, shining brilliantly.

Compared with the sandalwood dharma body of the World Honored One, it is more concise and solemn.

"This is……"

Zen Master Yulin couldn't help but change his expression.

"King Kong is not bad?!"

Eyes wide open, dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, Bodhidharma just recited the Diamond Sutra, and he condensed the legendary Vajra Indestructible Body from it.

With this physical body alone, he can ignore the thunder and fire of heaven and earth, and his physical body will not be destroyed for thousands of kalpas!
Compared with the indestructible body of King Kong, the golden body of Arhat is no different from garbage!
"Wait a minute!"

Chan Master Yulin seemed to have noticed something suddenly.

A look of surprise flashed across his face.

The sound of Sanskrit came to my ears, and it actually resonated indescribably with Zen Master Yulin's own Buddhist spiritual power.

Zen Master Yulin was both surprised and delighted, "Dharma recited the scriptures, just like the Buddha preached, which is of great benefit to my cultivation!"

Immediately sit down cross-legged.

Meditate and listen carefully to the Sanskrit.

For a moment.

Zen Master Yulin has already entered meditation.

The golden Buddha's light enveloped his body, and he could not stop breathing.

Ripples of incomparably pure mana rippling around Zen Master Yulin.

Not only Zen Master Yulin.

Even the nightshade hidden in the Buddhist beads, with the sound of the Sanskrit, has also been baptized by the Dharma of the Vajra Sutra.

"Oh my god, I just listened to the holy monk reading the scriptures, and I actually condensed the body of a fairy?!"

Solanum nigrum was shocked.

Since then, even without the protection of Bodhidharma's Buddha light, she can walk freely in the world.

Thousands of years of wish, at this moment, finally come true!

Solanum nigrum almost cried with joy.

"Such a unique opportunity is rare, and I can't miss it!"

"As long as I practice with the holy monk, my strength will definitely increase!"

"Brother Wang, in this life, Xiaokui will never be your burden again!"

Think about this.

The spirit of Solanum nigrum was greatly boosted.

Quickly run the method of Buddhist visualization, and quietly listen to Bodhidharma's chanting.

"All conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such!"

I don't know how much time has passed.

32 chapters of the Diamond Sutra, Bodhidharma finally finished reading.

Suddenly.

A huge golden lotus rose from the top of Zen Master Yulin's head.

The room is full of auspicious light, and the air is full of strange fragrance.

The golden lotus blooms suddenly and turns into a third-grade lotus platform.

Zen Master Yulin showed his golden body and sat on it, pinching the seal with his hands.

After a long time.

Only then gradually dissipated.

Zen Master Yulin opened his eyes and smiled.

Listening to the scriptures this time has benefited a lot.

Directly let him break through the realm of the Mahayana Heavenly Dragon!

Prove the first fruit of the Venerable!
"If it weren't for Junior Brother Bodhidharma, even if I practice hard for another 100 years, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to break through the realm of the Mahayana Heavenly Dragon!"

Zen Master Yulin was inexplicably grateful.

"Senior brother..."

He stood up and was about to say thanks.

But the words just came to my lips.

As soon as he saw the Bodhi Buddha light exploding from Bodhidharma's body, he froze in place.

Dumbfounded, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the "Diamond Sutra", the system has automatically deduced to the realm of perfection."

Just as Bodhidharma finished reading the Diamond Sutra, the system prompt sounded suddenly in his mind.

"It really is the Diamond Sutra!"

Dharma was overjoyed.

At the moment, sit cross-legged on the spot, hold the Dharma seal, and close your eyes to contemplate enlightenment.

Nine hundred births and deaths in an instant.

Bodhidharma has already settled down, wandering Sumeru.

The heaven and earth are dark and yellow, the universe is prehistoric, the sun, moon and stars, all living beings...

Even, fine dust.

All centered on Bodhidharma, constantly running and evolving.

Light and darkness alternate, good and evil are entangled, and each other ebbs and flows.

Everything in the universe perishes in the place of prosperity, and is reshaped in the extinction.

End and start again, endless.

I do not know how long it has been.

Suddenly, Bodhidharma's heart moved slightly, as if he had realized something.

"Amitabha!"

Bodhidharma pinches the Bodhi Dharma seal with his hands, his eyes are downcast, and his eyes are full of compassion.

A speck of dust that was too small to distinguish with the naked eye suddenly flew from the depths of the universe towards Bodhidharma, and merged into Bodhidharma's body.

Followed by.

More and more things swarmed towards Bodhidharma.

As fine as dust, as huge as Sumeru.

Even worse.

Mountains and rivers, sun, moon and stars...

Bodhidharma's body seemed to have turned into a black hole, devouring everything in the world.

At the end.

Even he himself disappeared.

As if, suddenly returned to the time when the chaos was not opened.

Everything is empty!

Hundreds of millions of incomparably brilliant golden Buddha lights surged from Bodhidharma's body and shot straight into the sky.

Reflecting the sky, like the sun and the moon hanging upside down.

It will reflect all the surrounding hundreds of miles into a bright golden sea.

The Buddha's power is washed away, and the sky is falling.

A sixth-grade golden lotus, condensed in the sky above the pagoda, filled with the power of the vast Buddha Dharma.

The Buddhist scriptures in the Buddhist scripture tower resonate with it.

Suddenly, a ten thousand zhang golden light burst out, forming a swastika Buddha seal, lingering in the void.

Sanskrit sounds and Buddha singing are like waves of the ocean, gathering from all directions, shaking the heaven and earth.

It's on the sheep intestines trail a hundred miles away from Bujin Temple.

The white-browed old monk was walking by himself.

Suddenly, he sensed the majestic Buddha power surging behind him.

Can't help but look back.

"Cutting off the confusion of seeing and thinking in the three realms, breaking away from the six realms of reincarnation, purifying the six senses of body and mind, attaining ultimate wisdom, entering the four holy dharma realms, and being worthy of offerings in the world..."

There was a look of shock on that skinny face.

"Has another Arhat been born?"

The white-browed old monk took a light breath, clasped his palms together, faced the direction of Bujin Temple, lowered his eyebrows, and recited the Buddha's name.

……

Another half-hour of incense sticks passed.

Dharma slowly opened his eyes.

Precious light aura flows all around the body, like glass, as if covered with a layer of glow gauze.

Every move has its own brilliance.

"Junior Brother has attained Arhat status, gratifying and congratulations!"

Zen Master Yulin put his palms together and said.

Arhat status is the highest state that Buddhist disciples can attain in their mundane practice.

Since then, if it is not for the blessing of great merit, it is not enough to go further.

however.

What surprised Zen Master Yulin the most was that.

Even for a talented person, it takes several years of practice to go from the status of a venerable to the status of an arhat.

Damo just broke through the realm of the Mahayana Heavenly Dragon last night and attained the first fruit of the Venerable.

Today, I have attained the Arhat status again!
This kind of cultivation speed, if even using the four words "horrible" to describe it, it will appear very pale and powerless.
