245. Discussion on Buddhism

The Stone Monkey was born, but a few people paid attention, and the world was not different. Monks and mortals lived the same life, but there seemed to be some big demons and demons along the way between 'Nanzhan Buzhou' and 'Xiniu Hezhou'.

The demonic cultivators built caves in the wilderness, in inaccessible places, gathered some little demons, and became kings and hegemons. But this did not really affect the lives of many mortals, after all, most of these demons lived in inaccessible places.

At this time, there were several people sitting under the Bodhi tree by the Eight Treasures Merit Pool in Lingshan. One person in the middle was dignified, wearing a yellow robe, with an earthy yellow cassock slanted on the outside, and the curly bun on his head, as if he had been beaten all over.

, with bright eyes, thick lips, and no beard on the chin, this is the Great Sun Buddha who is entrusted by Amitabha and Chunti Buddha to preside over all Buddhist affairs. He is also called the Great Sun Tathagata.

respect.

The person on the left is wearing a bright yellow monk's robe and a red cassock. His white eyebrows are hanging down more than five inches, his eyes are slightly closed, and he is counting a string of rosary beads in his hand. His head is bright, and his face is neither sad nor happy. This is the Buddhist monk.

The Buddha is now also known as the Past Buddha.

The one on the right only wears a gray-white monk's robe without a cassock. He has long eyebrows and a long beard. He looks compassionate. He is sitting on a futon with one hand flat on his knees and counting a string of rosary beads in the other. On his chest is a string of apricots.

Buddha beads strung with beads of the same size, this is Subhuti Bodhisattva of Buddhism.

Down on both sides are the naked-breasted Maitreya Buddha, who is also the future Buddha enshrined by Buddhism, with a wide smile; Medicine Buddha, Vairocana Buddha, Pure Joy Buddha, Precious Light Buddha, Dragon Lord King Buddha, and the Revealed Bodhisattva

, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

The Great Sun Buddha looked at the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas present, and said in a deep voice: "There are still hundreds of years until the Taoist ancestors allow me to 'transmit Buddhism eastward'. This is the opportunity for our Buddhism to flourish. The two leaders worked hard to get this opportunity.

, we must be cautious and careful, and cannot allow any slack. For this reason, we must make early plans and prepare early to ensure that the "Buddha's Dharma spreads eastward" is successfully completed."

He glanced at the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who were listening attentively. The Great Sun Tathagata continued: "You are all the core elites of our Buddhist sect and the real pillars of our Buddhist sect. What preparations must be made for this 'Buddhist Dharma's spread eastward', or how can we ensure it?"

The 'Transmission of Buddhism to the East' has been successfully completed. Do you have any good suggestions?" After saying this, his eyes were not focused on the Buddha here, but the Bodhisattva's face was scanned, hoping that all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas could really come up with some good suggestions.

When all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas saw the Great Sun Buddha asking, they all began to lower their heads and meditate. Thinking about how to carry out this important matter of "the spread of Buddhism to the east".

The bodhi tree sways slightly, and its lush branches and leaves make a slight sound, giving people endless freshness and tranquility, making those who sit under the tree feel that their souls are empty and the spiritual platform is clean.

The dark golden lotus flowers in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool bloomed in the mist, and the glow shone.

It had been a long time since I saw anyone speaking. The Great Sun Buddha did not urge me, but closed his eyes. He looked calm and immersed in some mysterious artistic conception.

I don't know how long it had passed, but a voice sounded, breaking the calm. The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas looked up and saw that Subhuti Bodhisattva was speaking. They all quickly looked at Subhuti Bodhisattva and listened to Subhuti Bodhisattva's words: "This time I am a Buddhist disciple.

"Buddha's Dharma is transmitted to the East." The poor monk thinks that there are a few things that Buddhism must do well first, and we cannot wait for the "Buddha's Dharma to be transmitted to the East" to begin."

When Subhuti Bodhisattva saw all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas looking at him, with a calm expression in his eyes and an unhurried voice, he continued: "First, determine what form to teach the Dharma; Second, coordinate all parties as soon as possible; Third, as soon as possible,

Choose someone who will teach you the Dharma."

Vipassi Buddha, the current Buddha in the past raised his long eyebrows and said: "Subhuti Bodhisattva is right. Although there are still hundreds of years before the opportunity promised by the Taoist Patriarch, we must do it earlier.

These preparations. The Taoist sect is very powerful. If we do not plan earlier, we may fail to achieve success in spreading the Dharma and waste this great opportunity. What Subhuti Bodhisattva said is exactly what we are trying our best to do at the moment. We will use what Subhuti Bodhisattva mentioned.

Discuss three points and get them done one by one!"

Three of them had already spoken, and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas below also thought for a while and began to put forward their own opinions. Vairocana Buddha cleared his throat and said: "The poor monk believes that the spread of Buddhism to the East can be divided into two steps.

." After seeing all the Buddhas, the Bodhisattva's eyes were drawn to him. Vairocana Buddha continued: "The first step is for my Buddhist disciples to send the scriptures to the Eastern Land; the second step is for the Eastern Land to come to my spiritual mountain to collect the scriptures."

Seeing Vairocchi Buddha stop, Mahavairocana Buddha (Great Sun Tathagata) and others lowered their eyebrows and thought about what Vairocchi Buddha said.

After a while, Great Sun Tathagata raised his head, looked at Vairoculus Buddha and said, "Please Vairoculus Buddha to explain in more detail!"

Vairocana Buddha smiled slightly and said: "Nowadays, the Taoist sect is very powerful, and the Eastern Territory is all under the influence of the Taoist sect. Even if our Buddhist sect is to 'spread Buddhism eastwards', it will be difficult for us to make a difference in the Eastern Territory, which is deeply influenced by the Taoist sect."

Listening to what Vairocana Buddha said, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas present here also nodded in agreement. It is indeed very difficult for the 'Buddhist Dharma to spread eastwards', but if we don't seize this opportunity, it will be impossible for Buddhism to rise. So even if it is possible,

No matter what the difficulty, Buddhists should try their best to fight for it. After hearing what Vairocchi Buddha said, he just nodded his head in agreement, and still looked at Vairocana Buddha, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Vairocana Buddha did not seem to see the Buddhas and Bodhisattva's eyes, and continued: "Therefore, my Buddhist sect has to make some arrangements to 'transmit the Dharma to the Eastern Land' this time, so that the people of the Eastern Land can recognize and accept my 'Dharma'. The poor monk suggested to me."

The two-step process of spreading Buddhism to the East is for this purpose. The people in the East do not know our Buddhism, so in the first step we, the Buddhism school, must take the initiative to send it to the East, select some scriptures that are easy to understand and easy for the people to accept, and send our Buddhism school

The most influential eminent monks and great virtues in China will take them to the Eastern Territory to spread the word among the people so that the people know and understand our Buddhism. The second step is to select an influential country in the Eastern Territory and make sure that its leader can believe in our Buddha.

Let him send envoys to my Lingshan Mountain to obtain the 'True Sutra' and spread it to the Eastern Land. With this promotion, I believe that our Buddhism can flourish in the Eastern Land, and there is hope that our Buddhism can flourish. This is what the poor monk thinks."

After Vairocana Buddha finished speaking, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas buried their heads in meditation, thinking about the pros and cons and whether it was feasible.

After a long time, I heard the Great Sun Tathagata speak: "Vairocana Buddha has thought carefully about it, and the poor monk thinks that this method will be the way for our Buddhism to 'transmit Buddhism to the East'. What do you think?"

Everyone also nodded and said: "Yes!"

The Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta continued: "This method of Buddha Vairocana is so wonderful that the poor monk thinks that it is necessary to build momentum. The first step does not require any effort; the second step is that the poor monk thinks that it is necessary to build momentum to obtain the sutra, making it a great place.

The general trend must be recognized by all parties; it is also necessary to spread the name of the Buddhist scriptures to the world and publish a copy of it. Only in this way can the people of the East accept my Buddhism as soon as possible and let my Buddhism flourish!"

Maitreya Buddha said: "The words of Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva are right. We really need to create momentum to promote the 'spread of Buddhism eastward'. If we don't let the people widely know about our Buddhism, it will be difficult for our Buddhism to spread the Dharma. If we don't

This opportunity given by the Taoist Master’s personal promise has made my Buddhist sect famous all over the world, and there will be no chance for it to rise again!”

Medicine Master Buddha also said: "Exactly, the Taoist ancestor promised it. The Taoist sect dare not stop it. This is a great opportunity. Otherwise, with the power of the Taoist sect, there is still a chance for our Buddhism to flourish. If it succeeds, our Buddhism will flourish."

With luck, we will surely make a big step forward in our path. At that time, the saints will not come out. What do I have to fear as a Buddhist?" The shining light in his eyes inspired others.

In the midst of admiration, a voice sounded: "But how to create this momentum?" When everyone looked, they saw that it was Baoguang Buddha looking at everyone with a serious face.

Only then did everyone think: Yes! This is easy to say, but how can we achieve the goal? To achieve the goal, it is best to be famous in the three realms of heaven, earth, and the human world. If we have the support of the three realms, then we can spread the law.

The meritorious deeds must have been completed. But how difficult it is!

Everyone was silent again for a while. Everyone was thinking hard.

After a long time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who was sitting at the end, said: "The poor monk thinks that this matter may need to be discussed with the Taoist sect before it can be carried out. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will be very difficult and the trip will not be possible!" There was a look of helplessness in his eyes.

After hearing this, everyone also showed a look of helplessness. How could it be that Dao Sect is so strong at the moment, occupying most of the world's luck, and it just suppresses Buddhism in Xiniu Hezhou without fear.

Buddha Vipassi raised his eyes and said, "How to discuss with the Taoists? Who will discuss it?" He glanced at all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas present.

Looking at the eyes of Vipassi Buddha, everyone lowered their heads unconsciously, and the Great Sun Tathagata even closed his eyes and did not answer the words at all.

On that day, the Great Sun Tathagata was chased by Xun Daozi and had no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. In the end, he had to take refuge in Buddhism and hid in Lingshan and did not dare to go out. Xun Daozi said that day: "If Lu Ya appears elsewhere, what else can he do?"

Please don't defend Amitabha, our Xuanmen will kill this person who secretly uses despicable methods!" Today's Great Sun Tathagata, Taoist Lu Ya in the past would not dare to leave Lingshan, so anyone can go to discuss with the Taoist sect, only his Great Sun Tathagata

Buddha cannot go.

Subhuti Bodhisattva looked at it, sighed and said: "Please ask Maitreya Buddha to discuss matters with the Taoist sects! This time we not only have to discuss with the Taoist sects, but I am afraid we will also have to discuss them with heaven and earth."

Ichiban. Fortunately, Patriarch Dao had said something for all parties to cooperate, which is also a great merit, otherwise it would have been difficult to accomplish anything!"

As soon as Maitreya Buddha heard Subhuti Bodhisattva calling his name, his cheerful face suddenly froze. He had to stand up, clasped his hands, bowed to Subhuti Bodhisattva, and replied: "Maitreya receives the Bodhisattva's decree!" He turned around and sat down, with another look on his face.

No smile.

Seeing that Maitreya Buddha received Subhuti Bodhisattva's decree, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas raised their heads. After looking at the appearance of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, Subhuti Bodhisattva continued: "The day before yesterday, the 'Lingming Stone Monkey' among the 'Four Monkeys in the World' came into the world.

In line with my opportunity to "spread Buddhism to the east", this monkey has great luck and good fortune. I will try to make him a member of my sect, pass on his fighting skills, give him a book and pass on his name, gather his luck, and let him

Participating in the Buddhist sutra collection can also build momentum for the sutra collection, and when it is completed, it can also add a fighting Buddha to our Buddhist sect. What do you think?"

The Great Sun Tathagata was the first to speak: "Bodhisattvas are powerful, this method is extremely good!" All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas also agreed.

Pure Joy Buddha opened his mouth and said: "The person who wants to learn the scriptures can also be selected early, so that he can enter my Buddhist practice in the secular world, accumulate fame in the secular world, and build momentum for the scriptures!"

Vipassi Buddha said: "What Pure Joy Buddha said is so true. Is it okay for me, a poor monk, to choose one of my disciples to go to the mortal world?"

Subhuti Bodhisattva nodded and said, "Monk, I think it's okay!" He then turned back to look at the Great Sun Tathagata and said, "Buddha, I think Jin Chanzi, the disciple whom the Buddha accepted seven hundred years ago, is very good and a talent that can be made. , this time it’s just time to work with him to make some achievements for our Buddhist sect, is it okay?”

The Great Sun Tathagata thought briefly and said: "Yes!" (To be continued.)
