Legend of the Cultivation God - Chapter 3500
[Chapter 3500 The True Meaning of Buddhist Cultivation]
“Puxian, you came to my Pure Land with a golden body three times. At this time, you should enter the lotus pond and reshape your body in this life!” The World-Honored Sun Tathagata said.
Sure enough, after the Buddha’s light was annihilated, the golden body of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was left with a faint outline, not to mention the lotus pedestal, even the entire golden body was made of lines.
“Disciple obeys the orders of the World Honored One!” The Puxian Bodhisattva said with his head lowered, but did not dare to refute, his figure slowly sank into the clear water under the lotus lotus.
“Cuckoo cuckoo…” As the golden body of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was immersed in the lotus-washing pond, bubbles appeared in the clear water, and hundreds of millions of small worlds were born in the bubbles, rushing into Samantabhadra Bodhisattva like a swarm. At the same time, the golden text overflowing in the clear water also gathered on the golden body of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and layers of Buddha light were born from the golden body. The day flower and the goddess appeared again, accompanied by thousands of Sanskrit dances around the lotus pond! It took half a cup of tea for Puxian Bodhisattva to fly out from the lotus pond. The sound of “Boom…” was like thunder, like the power of faith in water, and Puxian Bodhisattva had returned from the void. Born and poured into the golden body of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, the Buddha’s light after the golden body is prosperous!
At this time, the golden body of Puxian Bodhisattva has condensed, especially under the feet of Puxian Bodhisattva, the eight-pin lotus platform appeared out of thin air, carrying Puxian Bodhisattva and flew into the main hall of Leiyin Temple.
After visiting the World Honored One of the Great Sun Tathagata, Puxian Bodhisattva followed the Buddha’s order and ascended the seat of Namo Daxing Puxian Bodhisattva on the right hand of the Buddha, and the sound of the whole hall was filled with the sound of chanting: “At that time, Puxian Bodhisattva In front of the Tathagata, the Mahasattva sits on the seat of the teacher and son of the Lotus Flower Store, inherits the divine power of the Buddha, and enters the samadhi. ; Vast and unobstructed, the same as the void; The ocean of the dharma realm is swirling, and does not follow; All samadhi dharmas are born, which can universally encompass the ten dharma realms; All the Buddhas of the three worlds are born from this sea of light, and all the seas of peace in the ten directions can be displayed. Now… in every moment there are as many buddhas in the world sea, in every moment there are as many buddhas as in the world sea, and in front of the Buddhas there are as many as the world sea in the world, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, all of them have also entered all these buddhas. Vairocana Tathagata hides in samadhi.”
After all the Buddhas finished chanting, the whole Leiyin Temple was full of Buddha light.
“Congratulations, World Honored, Hexi World Honored!” Another moment, Fuhu Arhat put his hands together, although his mouth was congratulations, but the sorrow on his face did not diminish, “My three major Bodhisattvas of Leiyin Temple return to two in one day, then The Great Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Namo also almost achieved fruition before, as long as it takes time, he will definitely be able to return to the Buddha!”
“Amitabha, what Fuhu Arhat said is very true!” The ancient Buddha who burned the lamp nodded, “If it weren’t for the Great Sun Tathagata World-Honored One to spread the Dharma widely, how could my Pure Land be able to flourish in Buddhism? How could the Buddha’s light of my Buddhist sect illuminate three continents? Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was also attracted by the Buddha’s light in my Pure Land, so he chose to turn his golden body three times here.”
“Amitabha, the World Honored One’s merit is immeasurable!” All the disciples of the Buddha recited.
The Fuhu Arhat also said: “According to the disciple’s thoughts, the Great Merciful and Compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is currently cultivating in the Tibetan Immortal Continent. As long as the time is right, the fruit must be realized! Think about it, there are actually three of me in the Tibetan Immortal Continent controlled by Confucian cultivators. The great Bodhisattva’s achievement is a great satire on Confucianism!”
After Fuhu Arhat finished speaking, all the Buddhas whispered and whispered, and each Buddha’s face was full of excitement.
It seemed that Puxian Bodhisattva had just condensed his golden body in the Pure Land world, and he didn’t understand what everyone was saying. He glanced at the vacant seat on the right side of World Honored One of the Great Sun Tathagata. Is there still no message from the venerable Buddha?”
“As far as the deity knows, the future Buddha Lord has already been born on three continents, but where the future Buddha Lord is and how to practice is still a mystery!” The World Honored Dainichi Tathagata replied in a low voice.
“Nanwu should be reborn as Maitreya Buddha!” Puxian Bodhisattva recited the Buddha’s name, pondered for a while, and said in a low voice, “World Honored One, this disciple has just arrived in the Pure Land world, and I would like to make a great vow to use the power of this world to search for Maitreya Buddha. Whereabouts, please the future Buddha Lord Shengleiyin Temple ascend the position of Buddha Lord!”
“Good!” The Great Sun Tathagata said with a smile, “It is very good for you to have such a great wish. You can take a little rest and become familiar with the conditions of the three continents to complete your merits!”
“Follow the Buddha’s order!” Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was overjoyed and folded his hands together in thanks.
Before waiting for the Great Sun Tathagata World Honored to say something, suddenly, his treasured image that had never frowned for ten thousand years moved slightly. Immediately, a strange color flashed in the World Honored One’s eyes, and the Buddha’s light behind the golden body was like a flame. The general soaring into the sky, the Buddha’s seal with one finger to the sky and the other to the ground also moved at the same time…
“World Honored One?” Not to mention that many Buddhist disciples were surprised, even the ancient Buddha who burned the lamp was also shocked, and asked, “What are the signs of the Buddha?”
The Buddha’s light all over the Buddha’s body was as brilliant as the sun, and it turned rapidly for a long time before it stopped slowly. The slightly closed eyes slowly opened, and it was looking at a place in the Pure Land world. He said, “Ananda… is back!”
“Good!” The ancient Buddha who burned the lamp said, “There are so many happy events in my Pure Land world today. Even Ananda’s ninth incarnation was born in the Pure Land world. Congratulations, World Honored One!”
“Oh, what a joy!” The World Honored One of the Great Sun Tathagata smiled bitterly, “Ananda’s insistence on going his own way has already deviated from the purpose of my Buddha, and it is difficult to see where he is even with the deity’s ability!”
“World Honored One, since Ananda has come to my Pure Land, how can he escape from my Buddha’s hand?” The ancient Buddha who burned the lamp smiled slightly, then raised his hand and said, “Today’s teaching is over, all the Buddhas abdicate!”
“Follow the Buddha’s order!” The disciples of the Buddha responded in unison and slowly disappeared.
“Waiting for Manjushri!” The ancient Buddha who burned the lamp suddenly said again.
“Disciple obeys!” Manjushri immediately stopped the disappearing golden body and replied.
The Great Sun Tathagata did not understand what the ancient Buddha said about burning the lamp. When all the disciples of the Buddha were gone, he wondered: “The ancient Buddha burning the lamp, what are you doing?”
“This seat is also responsible for the matter of Ananda!” The ancient Buddha said with a smile, “It was the World Honored One that day, and this seat had two more mouths, which caused Ananda’s doubts. Therefore, this seat also wants to make up for it. Mistake of the day.”
“How to make up for it?” Manjushri was very strange.
“Was the World-Honored One already comprehending Mahayana Buddhism ten thousand years ago? Now it is a great achievement?” The Ancient Buddha Burning Lamp asked with a smile.
“Naturally, it has been completed!” The World-Honored Sun Tathagata nodded and said, “This Dharma has been recorded as the three Buddhist sutras and stored in the Sutra Collection Pavilion!”
“The World Honored One has not preached this Mahayana Buddha Dharma yet, so I’m afraid I have some scruples?” The Ancient Buddha Burning Lamp asked indifferently.
“Indeed!” The World-Honored One of the Great Sun Tathagata nodded, “Although Theravada Buddhism has a lot of flaws, it is better to be steady and step by step; and the Mahayana Buddhism has repaired the drawbacks of the Theravada Buddhism, but it is a little eager for quick success and instant benefits, and there are some deviations from the meaning of my Buddhist scriptures!”
“World Honored One, the Dharma sees the world with the eyes of the Buddha, and presents the big world and the small world to the human eye! It doesn’t matter if there are flaws or drawbacks! It is the human eye that has flaws and drawbacks!!” The ancient Buddha who burned the lamp smiled and said, “The World Honored One is too merciful. , always have to be perfect, this is really difficult!”
“Well, if that’s the case, wait until you choose a Japanese seat to teach the Mahayana Tripitaka Sutra to all the Buddhas!” The Great Sun Tathagata World Honored One nodded.
But at this point, the Great Sun Tathagata World Honored again, looked at the Manjusri Bodhisattva left behind and said with a smile: “Is it possible that the ancient Buddha of burning the lamp will let this seat first pass on Manjusri Bodhisattva?”
“Haha, that’s not necessary!” The ancient Buddha who burned the lamp shook his head and said, “Since the World-Honored One’s Mahayana Dharma is to be preached, it will naturally be spread in the Pure Land world. What about the Continent of Tibetan Immortals? What about the Holy Land of Thousand Demons??”
“The disciple is not talented, I wish to make a grand vow…” Manjushri immediately woke up and hurriedly bowed to ask for orders.
Burning the lamp, the ancient Buddha waved his hand and said: “You have now achieved fruition, don’t rob you of merit!”
“Disciple…” Manjushri was stunned.
The Great Sun Tathagata World Honored suddenly flashed in his eyes and nodded slightly.
“Namo Dazhi Manjusri Bodhisattva~” The World Honored Dari Tathagata was silent for a moment and said.
“The disciple is here!” Manjushri’s face was full, his hands clasped together.
“I have the Mahayana Tripitaka Sutra, and I want to pass it on to the Tibetan Immortal Continent, but this sutra is precious, and if it is passed on lightly, people will despise it.” The World Honored Tathagata said word by word, “You have to search the Pure Land world to find someone who can pass on the scriptures. He came to my Leiyin Temple to obtain scriptures. This person shoulders the heavy responsibility of obtaining scriptures, and if he succeeds, he should receive hundreds of millions of merits, and if he attains Buddhahood, you will also obtain one hundred thousand merits as Manjushri.”
“Disciple…follow the Buddha’s order!” Manjushri Bodhisattva is really puzzled by the second monk, and he really doesn’t understand how the World Honored Dairi Tathagata suddenly came to such a Buddha’s order.
“You go…” Without waiting for Manjushri to ask more, “until you can understand, the next day this seat opens the stage, the Buddha’s decree will be issued!”
“Yes, the disciple knows!” Manjushri Bodhisattva hurriedly bowed and saluted, but when he got up, the golden body of the Great Sun Tathagata was long gone, and in front of him only the ancient Buddha who burned the lamp looked at himself with a smile.
“Light the ancient Buddha!” Manjusri Bodhisattva moved in his heart and hurriedly laughed, “Please also teach the disciples!”
The ancient Buddha who burned the lamp smiled slightly, his mouth moved, and he didn’t seem to say anything, but Manjushri could hear it clearly. It was the ancient Buddha who burned the lamp. He has only three words: “Ananda !!!”
“Amitabha…” Manjushri smiled slightly, and when he turned around, the golden body slowly disappeared.
The ancient Buddha who burned the lamp looked at the empty main hall of Leiyin Temple, and at the vacant seat of Maitreya Buddha, sighed slightly, and murmured in his mouth: “Alas, I see Buddhist scriptures again!” About to disappear, a faint voice sounded again: “The ancient Buddha of burning the lamp, what do you mean by this?”
“Could it be that the World Honored One doesn’t know?” The ancient Buddha who burned the lamp even more half-smiled, “When the deity was the fourth generation, the World Honored One should be the third generation. Isn’t that the birth of a so-called Tang Empire? Then Dongsheng Ao came to Shenzhou as a stone monkey… …”
The ancient Buddha’s words are like gurgling water, but the words reveal the ancient secrets of Buddhism!
