Chapter 1907 The realm of Buddhism and Buddhahood

"That's good!" Mingfa breathed a long sigh and asked again, "What is the realm of the dust that the senior brother mentioned?"

"I don't know much, so I will just help you solve my doubts today!" Zen Master Mingyue asked again when he heard Mingfa, and had to answer, "When I was in Yunlin Temple, I occasionally chatted while my uncle preached, talking about the nine realms of my Buddhist supernatural powers!"

"What nine kinds?" Mingfa couldn't help asking.

"I only know how to make good things, and to get rid of dust, like dirt and Mingdi." Zen Master Mingyue replied, "I have never talked about the other five realms, and I don't know them either!"

"Is Master Shi Hai only the realm of dust? If it is... Rugu and Ming Di, then what will it be so powerful!" Ming Fa asked with some envy, "Oh, by the way, Senior Brother Abbot, you old..."

"Didn't I just say it? We are different from Buddhist guardians, so there is no need to emphasize any level of cultivation!" Zen Master Mingyue smiled, "We only devote all our efforts to serve the Buddha. When we achieve success in our merits, we will finally achieve Buddhahood, and that is the best ending!"

"Oh, where is the seven Buddha fruits in my Buddha Sect easy to achieve? But the Kalan Buddha Fruit is probably worth tens of thousands of merits, not to mention the subsequent venerables, heavenly kings, vajras, arhats, Bodhisattvas and Buddhas. I don't know how many merits do the Arhats, Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, and the three eternal Buddha fruits must be achieved!" Mingfa smiled bitterly.

"As far as I know..." Zen Master Mingyue hesitated and whispered, "Some Buddhahoods cannot be achieved in one lifetime, but can only be achieved in two or even nine lifetimes!"

"Silk... is so difficult!" Mingfa took a breath, and then said angrily. "I used to be ignorant and thought that this Buddhahood was the supernatural power of the Buddhist school. Now, after hearing what the abbot said, there is a huge difference in it anyway!"

"My Junior Master Ming, don't be discouraged! Speaking of Buddhist supernatural powers, I have practiced for more than ten years, but I have just entered the realm of making good. If I want to complete the cultivation of good and practice, I am afraid there is no hope in this life!" Zen Master Mingyue encouraged Mingfa, "But we spread Buddhism widely in Changsheng Town and revitalize the Buddhist sect. With these merits becoming more and more accumulated, it is not impossible to attain the Jialan Buddha Fruit in this life!"

"Yes, I understand!" Mingfa clasped his hands together and lowered his head and said, "My Buddha is merciful. The Buddhist sect is widely open. Whether it is practicing supernatural powers or collecting merits, it will pave the way to heaven under the feet of the Buddha's son! I wish to use Jialan Buddha Fruit as my lifelong pursuit and dedicate everything to me, Buddha Tathagata!"

"Good!" Zen Master Mingyue also clasped his hands together and smiled, "My junior brother is so grand, he will definitely be able to attain Buddhahood. I am very pleased!"

"Disciple, thank you for your abbot's answer tonight!" Mingfa stood up and thanked, "Disciple, say goodbye!"

"Well, Junior Brother Ming, the Immortal and Buddha Ceremony ten days later is my first time in Xiaojin Temple. You must not make any mistakes. Be prepared from tomorrow!" Zen Master Mingyue stood up and ordered.

"Yes, I understand. Senior Brother Abbot, please rest assured!" Mingfa agreed and slowly withdrew from the meditation room.

"Oh, it's really a win-win situation with Jiang Chaoguan! I don't know if Master Xinghai will agree~" Looking at Mingfa's departure's back, Zen Master Mingyue sighed a little, "But I guess he won't watch me being driven away by the Taoist priests of Jiang Chaoguan, right?"

When the two monks of Xiaojin Temple were thinking about the Buddhist and Taoist challenges in ten days and preparing for the once-in-a-ten-year ceremony of immortals and Buddhas, on the west side of Changsheng Town, which covers dozens of miles and is several times larger than Xiaojin Temple, bursts of loud reading sounds came from the academy, resounding in the night sky. With the sound of reciting, wisps of faint mist danced in the night sky, and a trace of inauspicious light was also slowly emitting, covering the entire academy.

In the light, in a corner of the academy, beside a green bamboo forest, amid the sound of bamboo, there was another disdainful voice in a small book pavilion, and blamed: "Junfeng, you are a little reckless! The Immortal and Buddha Ceremony can be lively, but it is just a celebration in my Changsheng Academy. There is no reason why you will bring you to Xiaojin Temple? A small temple actually wants to stir up the storm in Changsheng Town, and you don't look at the virtues of these monks!"

"Haha, Mr. Tai'an is too worried!" As the voice fell, another voice in the book pavilion sounded. It was Zhu Junfeng, the President of Changsheng Academy. He then continued the fist-sized lamp on the desk. Looking at the thin old man with his hair in front of him, he smiled and said, "The little student just happened to come back from a group of scholars outside the town. When he heard the three Taoist priests of Jiang Chaoguan fighting with the three Taoists of Jiang Chaoguan, he felt funny. Then he spoke, wanting them to know that in this Changsheng Town, the only one who keeps his word is the only one who keeps his word! Both Xiaojin Temple and Jiang Chaoguan are just birds of a feather!"

"Well, I just feel that competing with Xiaojin Temple on the same stage to celebrate the Immortal and Buddha Celebration is a loss of my academy status! It's not that I'm dissatisfied with the Dean's arrangement!" Mr. Tai'an nodded, "If I can continue the Immortal and Buddha Celebration, it will be great!"

"There is exactly this idea for me!" Zhu Junfeng explained, "For decades, the Buddhist sect has spread Buddhism in the Tibetan Immortal Continent and the Thousand Demons Saint Realm. Although this does not violate the public opinion of our three continents, it is so blatant that some people who don't know the right and wrong fall into Buddhism that influenced the rule of my Confucianism in the Tibetan Immortal Continent! My young sect made Xiaojin Temple suffer through the Immortal Continent. It is also to attack them and let them stop at the right time! Don't be greedy for the Sichuan people!"

"The Buddha Sect has a great goal! My Confucian scholar is already alert!" Mr. Tai'an frowned, "The Buddha Sect builds temples on my Tibetan Immortal Continent, and spreads Buddhism widely to an irresistible situation! However, my Confucian scholar teaches students in the Pure Land Architecture Academy, and the progress of teaching students is slow! The Buddhists and people in the Pure Land are very ignorant, and it is hard to say that they can teach them well with benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness!"

"We have to face difficulties too! Otherwise, how could we seek the state of ups and downs?" Zhu Junfeng was also a little worried, "However, as what Xiaosheng saw today, Xiaojin Temple used any means to eliminate Jiang Chaoguan. The Buddhist sect's intention to eliminate dissidents is really terrible! It is far less than my Confucianism and the Hai is a hundred rivers!"
