Big Bodhi [The Great Enlightenment] - Chapter 767

[Chapter 738]

Lingshan.

Great Leiyin Temple.

Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

Outside the gate of the palace, countless small thousand worlds collide with each other. Every moment, tens of thousands of small thousand worlds are annihilated here. Relying on countless vast worlds, the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas has stood in nothingness since ancient times. In between, it stands on the banks of the phantom of the long river of time.

A majestic Buddha of the eight realms walked to the gate of the hall, looking at the phantom cast by the vast river of time, with a vaguely dignified expression.

After a few breaths, another Sumeru Dharma Protector appeared under the gate of the temple, bowed to the Buddha of the Eight Realms, and said in a deep voice: “Venerable Ananda, under the seat of the Buddha statue of the Burning Lamp Buddha, there is a Reciting sutras and Buddha statues gave birth to visions.”

Venerable Ananda, one of the disciples of the World Honored One, looks like a full moon in autumn, and his eyes are like green lotus flowers. , with a handsome and dignified appearance, makes those who see it happy.

Withdrawing his eyes from the phantom of the long river of time, Venerable Ananda glanced at the respectful Guardian Xumi beside him, and said calmly: “What kind of vision?

” He said: “The “Ancient Buddha Scroll of Mahayana Buddhism” held in his hand has been transformed into “The Past Buddhas of the Three Buddhas of the Three Times.”

Venerable Ananda seemed not surprised. He took the scroll and looked at it carefully. After a while, he said softly: “This is a terrible omen.”

Protector Sumeru looked puzzled, and said, “I am stupid, and I hope the Venerable can speak clearly.

” Looking towards the shadow of the long river outside the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, he said, “Do you know where the state and the sky come from?” Guardian

Xumi nodded and said, “In ancient times, there was endless chaos between heaven and earth. One day, when the turbidity is clear and the qi is split, the clear part is the sky, and the turbid part is the earth. The heaven and the earth first opened, and the three realms transformed into beings, which is the realm of the sky and the state where we are.”

“This statement is correct, but not entirely correct.” Venerable Ananda smiled, “Before the sun and the moon were chaotic and the three realms were not divided, there was an extremely long period of time. This period of time existed before the opening of the sky. It is impossible to measure at all, completely unimaginable, even the long years you and I have spent, in front of this time, you are not even a baby.”

Guardian Xumi listened quietly with a solemn expression.

Venerable Ananda once again opened the brocade in his hand, and recited the Sanskrit on it in a low voice: “In the past, on the day when the Buddha was first born, all directions were bright, the sun, moon and fire beads were useless, and everything around him was like a lamp, so it is called Lighting the lamp.”

“After he became a Buddha, the Buddha was tabooed as the ancient Buddha of burning lamps, and he is the ancestor of all Buddhas in the past.”

At this point, Venerable Ananda looked sideways at Sumi Protector, “But, you In this realm of heaven and heaven, have you ever heard of the existence of the ancient Buddha that burns lamps?”

Protector Xumi shook his head and said: “The Buddha’s light shines through the ages, but the Buddhas of the past only existed in the past, It has never appeared in this world.”

Venerable Ananda nodded and said: “I don’t know whether the so-called past Buddhas existed, but the Buddhas under him really existed, and they actually existed in the period before the opening of the sky. In the time, they are trapped in the long time before the opening of the sky, and they will never end.” “

As long as there are records of ‘past Buddhas’ in Mahayana Buddhism, they will never be able to break free from this time Hearing this,

Guardian Xumi felt chills in his heart, clasped his palms together, and performed a Buddhist salute towards the highest point of Daleiyin Temple, saying: “My Buddha is merciful, and there are still Buddhas under the seat of the ancient Dieng Buddha.” Such a history!”

Venerable Ananda pointed to the “Past Buddhas of the Three Buddhas of the Three Times” in his hand, and said: “Just now you realized that the “Ancient Buddha Scroll of Mahayana Buddhism” has been transformed into this thing, and you are telling me Waiting for a bad omen.”

Guardian Xumi’s eyes were condensed, and he said: “May I ask you, what is the omen?”

Venerable Ananda sighed, and said: “If one day, all the information about the ancient Buddha All the records are gradually dissipating, and the time before the opening of the sky has finally come to an end, and the Buddhas under the seat of the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha broke free from the endless torture, what will they do?”

Protector Xumi’s face was slightly pale, and said: “But even if they come out of that period of time, they only exist before the opening of the sky, which is infinitely far away from this time, so what can they do?” Venerable Ananda shook his head and said:

” Not so, the World-Honored One once said that everything in the world has its “nature”, not only the heavens and the earth, but even time and space have their “nature”

. After that period of time, it will come to this world across the long and endless years from before the opening of the sky to today in a way

that we cannot understand.” , It is also ascending to detachment, breaking through the cycle of reincarnation, and entering the eighth realm.” “The

time spent by the Buddhas under the seat of the ancient Buddha of burning lamps, plus the years of endless torture before he opened the sky, became There are tens of thousands of immeasurable kalpas that cannot be counted.”

“Thinking about it this way, if they really come to this world… I’m afraid it will be a terrifying world kalpa sweeping the realm of heaven and heaven.”

Hearing this, Guardian Xumi’s expression changed. He was extremely pale, and he lost his composure and said, “Venerable Ananda, did the World Honored One know about this?!”

Venerable Ananda said flatly: “The World Honored One can listen to and observe the three worlds with just a pinch of his fingers, knowing the past and the future. How can I not know?”

The expression of Guardian Xumi softened a little, and he said, “Did the World Honored One ever say how we should break the kalpa?”

Venerable Ananda glanced at him, shook his head again, and said: “The World Honored One is the current Buddha of the Buddha of the Third Age. Although his mana is infinite, it has an inseparable relationship with the Buddha of the Third Age. The matter of the Buddhas under the seat of the Ancient Buddha Burning Lamp is a predetermined number before the formation of the realm of heaven and heaven. , It is also the realm of the state and sky, and no living beings can break free.” “

Not only the state and sky, but also every star river world has a boundary calamity. The same is true, even though we have entered the three realms of holding the world, there is nothing we can do about it.” The

realm of detachment, the realm of reincarnation, and the realm of glancing at the sky, these three realms are collectively called the three realms of holding the realm, because all creatures in these three realms Already detached from the world, it is able to feed back the great world of the galaxy that gave birth to itself to a certain extent, so it is also called the world-holding creature.

At this point, Venerable Ananda turned around, holding the volume of “The Past Buddhas of the Three Buddhas”, and walked slowly into the depths of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall.

“Also, you’ve got some signs.”

“Thank you, Venerable Ananda, for your teaching.”

Guardian Sumeru stared blankly at the place where Venerable Ananda left, until he heard the last words left by him. Then he couldn’t help but come back to his senses, clasped his hands together, and performed a Buddha ceremony respectfully, with an extremely pious expression on his face.

…

After he left, the phantom of the long river of time in front of the gate of the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas suddenly appeared with sprays of water. After a few breaths, these sprays gradually disappeared and merged into the phantom of the calm and waveless long river , no trace.
