Chapter 663: Indoctrination of the Acropolis (1)
.Chapter 663 Education and Acropolis
There are seventy-two acropolises around the city, and all the acropolises are connected by city walls. From above, they look like a string of Buddhist beads. Among these string of Buddhist beads, there are five cities that are much larger than other circles. Among these five cities, there are five Bodhisattvas in the Bodhisattva Vehicle.
Among these five inheritance bodhisattvas, Guanyin Bodhisattva is the strongest, the lord of the entire Dharma Guardian God, and the weakest inheritance bodhisattva is the enlightenment bodhisattva. However, the teaching bodhisattva is only weak in his own cultivation, which is equivalent to the strength that has just reached the peak of the Hedao Immortal, which makes him at the bottom of the twenty-seven inheritance bodhisattvas. However, compared with the overall strength, the teaching bodhisattvas ranks among the top five of all inheritance bodhisattvas. This is mainly because he is very good at teaching disciples. The Bodhisattvas are nearly 40% of the gods and Buddhas of the heavens come from the teaching bodhisattvas. More than 80% of the teaching bodhisattvas have heard of the Dharma under the teaching bodhisattvas, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are full of students all over the world.
It is precisely because of the excellent ability of the Bodhisattva of Education to preach and teach the Tao that the Acropolis in the 72nd Ring Road City has become a small academy-style city-state. The pagodas and sutras in the city are densely packed with densely packed over the entire city, so it has also become a city of Thousand Academys.
Although the entire city's buildings look very chaotic, they are actually in order. All sutras are divided into three major areas according to the Buddhist sutras, precepts, and the three treasures of the Dharma. Then each major area is divided into ten communities according to the ten stages of the Bodhisattva's fruit, and the Buddhist teachings corresponding to the fruit are taught respectively. Since the emphasis here is on teachings but not different, nearly half of the casual cultivators in the Buddhist world come here every year to listen to the Dharma and practice in peace for a period of time, and this place becomes a disguised gathering place for casual cultivators.
In addition, this is the only Acropolis among the seventy-two Acropolis that is open to the mortals of the nine external vehicles. It is located at the junction with the nine external vehicles, which is the joyful city area of the Tripitaka of Sutra, Vinaya, and Theory. Ascetic monks inside the nine external vehicles can come here to study from time to time, and some special approvals can also sell some unknown and rare items received from the nine external vehicles or other city-states in the outside world for sale. Over time, this place has become a small fairy fairy market. Some Buddhist cultivators in other nine local cities will also come here to visit when they have free time to see if they can find a gap.
Although this is just a small market composed of mortals, it does not mean that there is no good things here. In the vast desert of the Buddha Realm, a large number of ancient ruins are buried. Although most of the ruins have been found and excavated by the gods and Buddhas of various sects, and all the treasures inside are taken away, many ruins are still missing by them. These ruins have disappeared into the desert before they are excavated due to the failure of the magic circle. As the dunes move, the sandstorm sweeps across the ruins.
The treasures in them are scattered in various deserts in the Buddha Realm. There are too many deserts in the Buddha Realm and too big. Even if the gods and Buddhas of the heavens know that there must be many treasures contained in them, they are not interested in searching them specifically. Therefore, the mortals who often walk in the desert have become the best candidates for finding these treasures. Among the gods and Buddhas of the Buddha Realm, many of the natal Buddhas of the Buddha Realm are found by these mortals inadvertently, such as the willow branch that Guanyin Bodhisattva inserted in the jade bottle, which was obtained in this way.
After leaving the burial area of the Bardo River, Xu Changqing did not immediately go to the Compassion Astrology where Guanyin Bodhisattva was located. Instead, he walked along the Bardo River in various house areas under the base of the nine-cargo tower outside, and saw the various aspects of life full of sorrow and joy. Although Maitreya Bodhisattva and others had also walked into the city and city with the body of the world in order to experience the Buddhist compassionate bodhicitta, they had already been one of the gods and Buddhas of the heavens since they were born. They had a noble status and had no idea what the sufferings of the world were. Therefore, their vision and mentality of looking at the world were always high. Even if they were in the community of mortals, they were completely separated from mortals, making their compassionate bodhicitta feel like they had not done their best.
However, now Xu Changqing's strength completely subdued them, causing their high-ranking mentality to fall. In addition, along the way, Xu Changqing deliberately found out the things that best represent the various aspects of life in these urban areas, so that they can truly develop bodhicitta with a normal state, each with gains, and their realm barriers also loosened. Among them, Maitreya Bodhisattva, who had already accumulated the limit of realm cultivation, naturally had the most benefits. The Pure Land Buddha that had been transformed by Xu Changqing was not bad at all. As for others, they had some understanding, only Sun Xianzhi and Xu Changqing always had only a few sighs.
"Where are we going now?" asked Sun Xianzhi, who walked out of a Hinayana ritual in the city of Huanxi, and Xu Changqing beside Xu.
"It is worthy of being the city of Education and I heard the word "requited to the heart of Taoism after I came here. Although my power is not very strong, if I stay here for too long, I can't help but take refuge in the Bodhisattva's vehicle." Xu Changqing closed his eyes slightly, felt the breath coming from the thousands of sutras and pagodas from the Acropolis, and then walked towards other urban areas and said, "Since I have come to the city of Education and I, it would be a pity not to go to the sutras and sutra hall you mentioned."
After entering the joyful city area on the outermost side of the Acropolis of Education, Maitreya Bodhisattva and others felt that their realm was about to break through and there was no time to find a more suitable retreat place, so they found a lecture hall, then showed the Dharma to the head of the hospital, occupied the entire lecture hall, and went into seclusion one after another. After Maitreya Bodhisattva and others went into seclusion, Xu Changqing and Sun Xianzhi did not immediately set off to the Merciful Acropolis that entered the entrance to the inner nine passengers, but stayed in the Acropolis and waited for them to leave together after they left the seclusion. One was to strengthen their momentum, and the other was to take the opportunity to secretly recover the Sword Arhat and others.
Although Maitreya Bodhisattva and others were just a small retreat this time, to stabilize their existing insights and to break through the realm, they had to wait until they returned to their respective spiritual mountains before they could implement it, such retreat still took a few days. Xu Changqing and Sun Xianzhi had enough time to visit this famous city of education in the Buddhist world.
All the collections of sutras, rituals and treatises in the Acropolis are open. As long as the level of cultivation reaches the corresponding level, anyone can enter it to read the classics. The collections here are not all specific methods, but some experiences of the Tao. Almost most people who have some insights into meditation here will write down their own experiences and put them into the library hall. Over time, the collections here have accumulated into millions of volumes. The oldest books can be traced back to tens of thousands of years ago, when the Dharma Protector God's Ring City was not yet established, almost all the sects and sects in the Buddha Realm have left a single experience here.
For others, these ** are just some auxiliary reference materials, which can help them avoid many detours. Even because of the masters of the lineage and the sermon, they do not need to come to check these ** in person, so most of the **s here are in a state of dust. These **s that others are dispensable are extremely important for Xu Changqing. The reason why he chose to educate the Acropolis was because Sun Xianzhi secretly reminded him that there are these Sutra Halls in the Acropolis. Although there is no practice method in these Sutra Halls, these experiences are enough to allow Xu Changqing to fully deduce the evolution of various sects and vehicle Buddhism in the Buddhist world over tens of thousands of years. This can not only supplement his nine-level path, but also make the Buddhist practice of the Duobao Tathagata's karma golden body more perfect.
There are thousands of sutra caves in the Acropolis, and most of the sutras in each sutra hall are different. If you read them one by one according to the conventional method, you may not have read all the books in seven or eight years. Fortunately, the gods and Buddhas of the heavens who have profound knowledge of the Tao also attached their divine thoughts to them. As long as you interpret these divine thoughts, you can fully grasp the experiences of these predecessors in the Buddhist world after reading the sutras, precepts, and the Tripitakas. As for those who do not even have the divine thoughts, there is no need to read them.
Xu Changqing and Sun Xianzhi walked through the various sutra halls in the Acropolis of Zhihua. They only took almost a day to read all the **. When doing these things, Xu Changqing did not sneak in. Instead, he cast magic in front of many Buddhist scattered practitioners and disciples at the bottom of each sect who came here to meditate and read the memories of the divine thoughts attached to the scriptures.
This method is not a secret in the Buddhist world. Many people know that there are many people who can cast spells and read these divine thoughts, but they do not need these experiences like Xu Changqing. When they each achieved the cultivation level of being able to perform this type of Buddhism, they had already formed their own natal path. If they used this method to read these divine thoughts, it would not only not help them, but would interfere with their own fundamental path and cause adverse impacts on their Taoist foundation. Therefore, when Xu Changqing casts spell, all the Buddhist practitioners around them showed surprise and surprise, and obviously could not believe that someone would do such a thing as destroying the Taoist foundation.
Xu Changqing ignored the opinions of the people around him. After reading these experiences, he did not immediately comprehend them. Instead, he temporarily included them in his mind and deduced the corresponding Buddhist teachings according to these experiences when he had time.
After coming out of the last Sutra Hall, Sun Xianzhi looked at the sky, then looked at some people around him with strange expressions, and said, "Our actions may have alarmed the Bodhisattva of Education. Should we go to see the master here? This Bodhisattva of Education is an interesting old man, and the Lord will definitely not be disappointed when he sees it."
"No need to see him, he will come to find us on his own initiative." Xu Changqing shook his head and said, "Let's go to the trading market in Huanxidicheng District to see, maybe we can find some ancient treasures."
Sun Xianzhi smiled and said, "That would definitely not disappoint you. When I came to Lingshan Mountain in Sumi several years ago to receive the Lingshan Seal, I also went to the market and found a good treasure there." As he said that, he saw him take out a nine-stringed vajra from his arms and hand it to Xu Changqing, saying, "When this treasure was found, it was hidden in the base of a broken Buddha statue. After so many years, the spiritual energy of the treasure has disappeared, leaving only a little spirituality. Now that it has been repaired, it can be regarded as a good top-grade Buddha treasure."
Xu Changqing took the Buddha treasure and looked at it. He found that the Buddha treasure was indeed good. He became more and more interested in the market in the joyful city.
