Chapter 451: Rush to Wonderland (Part 2)
The master and disciple of Changqing did not enter Qinghai directly from Sichuan and walked north to Kun'u's "junction" road, but took a detour. They entered Tibet and followed the Tibetan Buddhist path to worship Buddha to the south. The direction was the birthplace of Sakyamuni, the leader of the Lanni Garden Buddhist Sect in Nepal. This was the temporary decision made by Xu Changqing. He wanted to go to the four holy places of Sakyamuni's birth, enlightenment, preaching, and Nice's Buddhism to see if he could find some useful things. The so-called more calculations and more victory, and he did not think that he could rest assured with his own Golden Immortal Cultivation. It was definitely not a way to deal with the world of the Nine-Levels.
On the way south, they passed by Lhasa, a Tibetan Buddhist holy land. After Xu Changqing's golden immortal thoughts swept over, he easily explored the entire city of Lhasa. The result really surprised and disappointed him.
The entire Lhasa temple complex with the Potala Palace as the main body formed a huge formation, guiding the incense and faithful power of all temples in the Tibetan Buddhist area, forming a huge Buddha power that is enough for all Buddhist practitioners to envy. However, what is puzzling is that the monks in each temple did not use these precious huge Buddha power to practice. Instead, they gathered and condensed them into Tibetan Buddhism's guardian gods, Tara, Bodhisattva, and Great Buddha in Tibetan Buddhism, making them entrenched in the sky above Lhasa to form a tantric Buddhist country that can be said to be a world of its own.
Although they can easily obtain some supernatural powers with this Tibetan Buddhist country and can experience the wonder of the Western Paradise in the Tibetan Buddhist country, they seem to regard this as the goal of practice and indulge in the Buddhist country to integrate into the Buddhist country's Thangka through visualization. They borrow various divine powers from the Buddha's Kingdom to obtain various supernatural powers, and even use similar methods of attaching spirits to seek gods. A certain spiritual body in the Buddha's Kingdom attaches to itself and achieves great achievements beyond ordinary people's imagination. They completely forget that the root goal of Buddhist practice is to transcend the cycle of life and death.
Among the temples around Lhasa, there are not a shortage of monks with great abilities, but this ability is truly cultivated by himself. Xu Changqing used his golden immortal spirit to exert pressure, and these monks were beaten back to their original form one after another. Their true cultivation was even worse than Mao Fangzheng and others. Not to mention other authentic immortals and Buddha practitioners in China. There are only three or five great practitioners who can be regarded by Xu Changqing in the entire area, and they should be the leader of various Tibetan Buddhist sects. The Buddha nature accumulated in several lifetimes is enough to allow them to break through the confusion and point directly to the heart of the Buddha. Therefore, everyone's true cultivation will not be much worse than that of the current Long Jinbao. If the blessing of the Tantric Buddhism Kingdom is coupled with the blessing of their esoteric Buddhism, their strength should be said to be much higher than Long Jinbao.
Among these living Buddha monks who truly have great cultivation, the person with the highest cultivation level is not in Lhasa, but in the Samye Monastery in Zhanam, south of Lhasa. Because only this can the monk in the temple clearly feel Xu Changqing's divine thoughts and use his past Buddha nature to have a silent conversation with Xu Changqing. Samye Monastery is the first temple of Tibetan Buddhism. The first stop of the two Bodhisattva masters, Ji Hu and Watanabe, who are most highly praised by Tibetan Buddhism, are here. It is not an exaggeration to say that Tibetan Buddhism originated from this. In this temple, there are both the original Madhyamaka scriptures containing Buddhist Prajna wisdom, and the secrets of cultivation of various magical magic in Tibetan Buddhism. It is not an exaggeration to be able to produce a monk with extraordinary magic power and perfect Buddha nature.
Although Xu Changqing was a little curious about Gao Shan, he only stopped outside the Samye Monastery for a while and continued to rush to Nepal southwest with Long Jinbao.
Because Xu Changqing felt that although this Tibetan Buddhist monk had pure Buddha power, his Buddha power contained a very strong dead and silent aura. There was only one reason for the two forces to mix together, that is, the monk was shutting down his death in order to realize the great way of transcendence between life and death. In fact, with the Buddha nature shown by this monk, he continued to accumulate Buddha nature with the unique method of reincarnation in Tibetan Buddhism, and it should be easier to realize the fruit of Buddhism.
However, this monk did not use the safe method of reincarnation, but instead kept his death from gambling. He was afraid that he felt the disaster of heaven from the Buddhist Kingdom of Tantric Buddhism above Lhasa, which was gradually eroded and weakened by the human heavenly path. He hoped to reach the Pure Land without disasters before the disasters affected this place. Unfortunately, although he saw this great disaster, he did not see that this great disaster spread to the three realms. Even if he successfully became enlightened and reached the other shore, he was afraid that he would not be able to enjoy true peace.
The road from Lhasa to Lanni Garden was blocked by the mountains, and these mountains all contained a kind of forbidden magic power of heaven and earth. Even with Xu Changqing's cultivation level, he could not use teleportation method and rainbow flying technique in this power of heaven and earth. Long Jinbao's power was suppressed by 90%. Xu Changqing had to take Long Jinbao to use ordinary flying technique to travel through the towering snow-capped mountains, and it took him a day to arrive at Lanni Garden.
Although this is the birthplace of Sakyamuni, it is ironic that Hindus and other believers living here account for the majority, and Buddhism is not prosperous here. The legend says that Sakyamuni stepped on a lotus and shouted, "The sky is the only one in the world. Now it is just a sewage pool, surrounded by weeds. dilapidated ancient monuments can be seen everywhere, and only a few ascetic monks practice in these dilapidated monasteries.
The Lanni Garden disappointed Xu Changqing very much. He did not have much hope for other Buddhist holy places. After all, from the situation in the Lanni Garden alone, you can know that Buddhism has completely declined in its birthplace. In the following days, Xu Changqing and Long Jinbao went to the first place of Sakyamuni in the Deer Garden and the Nirvana Nest Land respectively. These two places are slightly better than the Lanni Garden. At least Buddhists have a little advantage here. In and outside the city, people can always feel a hint of Buddha nature.
Xu Changqing had no gains in these two places. Instead, Long Jinbao found nine Indian demon corpses sealed here in some temples in these two places. Although after thousands of years, the demonic energy hidden in these nine corpses has long disappeared, but these nine corpses still contain very strong demonic nature, which is very suitable for Long Jinbao to refine it into the inner skeleton of the golden net.
