Chapter 46: A Savage in the West
Although Buddhism is vast, it does not save people without fate, let alone ghosts? King Equality is thinking too much. After all, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is a guest, so he will naturally be in love with you. If it is the Supreme Western Emperor, who can say it accurately?
This Lingshan is an extremely special place. It is said that it is difficult for mortals to reach in the real world. It is not complete in the illusory world. In fact, half of it is still on the land of Xiniu Hezhou, but it is just covered by Buddhism.
What the Western Tathagata Venerable practiced is also the great way to transcend this world. Since it is the great way, it means that the same path is the same as Sun Dakong's path. They all need to develop the spiritual platform square world.
There is one biggest difference between the two spiritual platform square worlds, which is the different methods of solving the 'soul problem'.
The Tathagata's method is the simplest, directly attracting the believer's soul into his Pure Land of Buddha, the Pure Land of the Pure Land of the Buddha, and the Pure Land. The believer enjoys the purity of the Buddha's kingdom and does not fall into the cycle of reincarnation. Therefore, he expands the world of the spiritual platform and strengthens his own strength.
If Sun Dakong doesn't engage in sects, it will be a little more troublesome. He uses incense to copy, which is sincere to people. Everyone who worships incense has something to ask for or reward, and they have their soul imprint!
In his own spiritual platform world, it may be difficult for God Sun Dakong, to create human souls out of thin air, but it is very simple to copy and copy some of the primary souls of human beings. Moreover, after the establishment of reincarnation, the mother book of life and death in King Guang of Qin will be able to give birth to the child book and re-establish cause and effect. These primary souls will become naturally full in reincarnation.
After solving the complex human soul problem, the soul establishment of low-level creatures is only within Sun Dakong's thoughts. This is his own spiritual platform world.
The two spiritual platform worlds are not only very different in cores, but also in the opposite direction.
Sun Dakong comes from the earth and is unwilling to be a Buddha who cuts off his feelings and desires, so his spiritual platform world is more down-to-earth and closer to the world.
Tathagata is more fancy. His spiritual platform is the pure land of the Buddha's kingdom, the Western Paradise, the golden lotus surging in the earth, and the sky is full of splashes. The time of practice is more than that of Sun Dakong. I don't know how many memorials there are, which is almost half true and half false.
This Lingshan is half in the mortal world and half in the square world of the Lingtai, just like building a bridge between the real and the illusory world.
The great educator, great thinker, and great sophist The Buddha explained this: "Truth is illusion, illusion is truth, empty color, color, color and color."
This is really not a fool in the street. The Tathagata said this, thought so, and did it even more so, and it was nothing wrong.
However, it takes endless Buddha power to maintain the connection between the Lingtai Square World and the Journey to the West. It also takes the effort of the Tathagata alone. This requires the joint efforts of the majority of believers. Incense is not stopped.
That's why it is said, 'People fight for one breath, and Buddha fights for one stick of incense'!
How can we achieve success if we don’t fight? This is related to the root of Buddha.
***
Ordinary people are not Elder Tang who is responsible for the mission of obtaining scriptures. Without the Buddha's light and immortal light, they will not be able to pass the Galan Mountain at all, and there will be no Golden Immortal to take over.
Not to mention the ghosts and ghosts, they also want to see the beautiful scenery of Lingshan Mountain with golden lotus gushing in the ground and raining in the sky? Before we can reach Mount Galan, we will be passed into the cycle of reincarnation by the vast Buddha power. In the future, we will be humans and animals, and it depends on the cause and effect of this life.
Fortunately, the nine Yanjuns have positions in the Heavenly Court. Although they are Yin Gods, they are considered to be the right result. Naturally, they will not be afraid of the Buddha's light and power. Instead, they can pass through Galan directly without having to worry about the Golden Summit Immortal's guide.
The nine Yama came to the Lingshan Gate with hope, but were stopped outside the mountain gate by the Vajra Dharma Protector. How could the Vajra Dharma Protector, who was eighty-meter tall, have a good impression of these nine old ghosts with strong yin energy? Didn’t you see the monks and nuns entering and leaving the mountain gate showing horror expressions?
"Live here, where are the nine palace lords?"
It’s this kind of condescending tone that asks you directly what you want to do?
The Dharma Protector was very unhappy. What is this place? Lingshan Scenic Spot is not your pickled Yinshan! I really think that if Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva gives you some good looks, he is qualified to go to Lingshan? He doesn’t urinate and see what kind of virtue it is!
King Ping Equity smiled and said, "I am King Ping Equity of the Yinsi Palace, who presided over the Avici Hell. It is a friend of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Now if you have something to do, please ask the World Honored One. Please help God to inform you, and then say that there are the Nine Hells of the Yinsi to ask for a visit..."
The Vajra of the Dharma Guardian looked down at the nine Yamas, and spoke from his nose, "I am not ignorant of the numbers, so how can I not tell that you are nine of you here together? Do you need to remind me?
But even if you are a ten-faced palace of the underworld, what if you are? You will report it if you say you are notified?
How busy is I, Buddha, Tathagata, and I am not too late to preach to my disciples every day. How can I have time to see you a few Yin Gods? I won’t retreat quickly, otherwise even if the Vajra recognizes you, the demon-subduing pestle in my hand will not recognize it!"
"you!"
King Yama has the hottest temper and is about to turn against him, but he was pulled aside by King Equity: "What do you want to do? This is the Lingshan Scenic Spot, not our underworld. How can I afford to provoke the Vajra of the Dharma Protector?"
"You have a good temper. Haven't you seen that King Kong so rude. Don't you allow our brothers to enter the mountain gate?"
"You don't understand this? You are still a member of the Lord of Yan. This is called 'The King of Hell is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult to deal with.' It's just that you can give him some benefits. As long as you see the Buddha Tathagata, everything will be easy."
King Yama was stunned: "Old Ba... Why do I listen to you as if you were scolding me?"
"I'm blaming my words, I'm blaming myself forgot that we are the King of Hell..."
The King of Equality smiled bitterly and shook his head, then ran to the Vajra of the Dharma Protector and said with a smile: "Just now on, my brothers are not polite, so don't blame me.
I have a purple gold bowl here, which I got from the world by chance. This is a Buddhist treasure, but it should not be in my hands. It is better to give it to the gods. This is called a sword to a hero.”
"Oh? This bowl is really my Buddhist object, but you must not be defiled by the Yin Gods. Well, I will reluctantly accept it...
I just thought that my Buddha must have finished preaching at this moment, or if you have time, you can go here."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you."
The nine Yan Luo thanked him and cursed in his stomach. No matter what, he finally entered Lingshan. If the Buddha was willing to help, he might be able to find Lao Qin.
Just as the Nine Hells entered the Lingshan Gate, the Great Good World Honored One who sat upright on the 12th-grade lotus platform, I, Buddha Tathagata, and Venerable Shakyamuni slowly opened their eyes and chuckled, "This time it's difficult..."
The compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva who stood below the Buddha smiled and said, "I wonder, my Buddhist power is vast, omnipotent, omniscient, omniscient, and omnipresent, so why is it difficult to say that it is difficult?"
The Buddha smiled and said, "Miaoshan is aware of it but is unknown. Although my magic power is vast, I will eventually have an unreachable place; although my seeing is far away, there are also unmeasurable spaces and time; I am everywhere, but I do not have four kinds of land."
The Bodhisattva said: "But I don't know which four stages it is?"
"This first place is a place where evil and evil are obscene. This second place is a place where Buddha is slandered.
This third place is the name of Buddha. I will not stand even if there is incense.
Is this the fourth place..."
The dignified Buddha suddenly stopped talking.
The Bodhisattvas and Arhats looked at each other, all of whom were secretly shocked. What kind of magical power did the Buddha have? What kind of place can the Buddha in these three realms be unable to speak?
The Buddha paused for a moment before saying, "This fourth place is the Buddha's kingdom of others, the spiritual platform in a small world. It is like the Supreme Temple or the Miluo Palace, so I cannot stand it." (Zhen Yuanzi went to Miluo Palace to listen to the lecture, where Yuanshi Tianzun is located, it is recorded in Journey to the West.)
All the Bodhisattvas and Arhats praised the good words and said nothing at the moment.
"The nine palaces of the Yinsi, see my Buddha! The Yinsi is in trouble, ask my Buddha for mercy and help."
In front of Tathagata, Nine Yanjun dared not call himself a palace master, he could only say that the Yin Si was the Nine Halls. However, in this way, it seemed that the Yin Si really became a member of the Western Sect, which just confirmed what Zhang Bairen said.
"Good, good luck, no one can do this..."
Seeing that the Nine Hells were about to worship him, Tathagata hurriedly used magic power to stop them, making them unable to bow: "All the palace masters have affairs in the heavenly court, but I am just a savage in the west. I still have to respect the high God of Xuanqiong, and also under the rule of the heavenly court, how can you bear the bow?
Since ancient times, people have not been worshipped by officials. This is a ritual, so no one will do this again.”
Nine Hell was so funny that he heard it. Is there a 'savage' like you?
