28 The Truth of the Buddha Realm

Tangning poured him tea, "In addition to giving them more magical powers, you should also remember one thing, that is, you cannot easily reveal your true face."

"I understand this," Wu Youyou said, "I am the Buddha, I can't show up easily. The more mysterious the better, the better, so many things are done by Ruofu, and I won't show up."

"Ruofu did a good job," said Tangning, "but what I want to say is not now, but the future."

"Future?" Wu Youyou was puzzled.

"The Holy Dhara flower appears in the eastern heavens, and the Buddha descends to the world, and there is a beautiful dragon maid beside him. The news will soon spread throughout the heavens," said Tang Ning, "At the moment people see Ruofu, they will know that it is the Buddha who is coming."

"Isn't this good?" Wu Youyou asked.

Tang Ning shook his head, "Not good."

Wu Youyou wondered, “What do you say?”

"The Buddha saves all sentient beings, and it depends on the Dharma. What is the Dharma? It is a miracle, a legend, and a story. Without these, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas cannot spread the Dharma," Tang Ning said seriously, "Think about it, if there is something wrong, the Buddha will appear wherever the Buddha will appear. Can the Buddha still be above? If even the Buddha cannot be above, then where should the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas be placed in the hearts of sentient beings?"

Wu Youyou's face became hot when she was said, and she coughed awkwardly, "Then... what should I do?"

"You and Ruofu want to change their images and appear in front of each tribe in different images," said Tang Ning, "And in the face of different sentient beings, you must show different supernatural powers and teach different methods. In this way, all sentient beings can obtain the Dharma so that Buddhism can truly be established and spread."

"For example, this world Buddhism," she gave an example, "The Buddhist scriptures record countless stories, and later monks were inspired by these stories and founded different Buddhist schools. For example, the Pure Land Sect was founded based on the stories in the "Amitabha Sutra", "Amitabha Sutra", "Rebirth of Rebirth", and "Avatamsaka Sutra"; the origin of Tantric Buddhism is relatively complex, but the fundamental meaning of practice comes from the "Great Sun Sutra"; the Guanyin Dharma comes from many Buddhist scriptures, and most of them are based on various legends and stories of Guanyin Bodhisattvas, and they are drawn out the essence and formed schools. In short, human Buddhism, the 84,000 methods, mostly evolved from the stories in the Buddhist scriptures."

"More specific, for example, the Great Black Heaven God of Wealth in the Tantric Buddhism originated from the story of Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves fishing and hunting people and satisfys their greed, first giving and then seizing them to enter the Tao. Later generations only take the front of this story, emphasizing that worshiping the Great Black Heaven can satisfy people's desire for property, and deliberately ignores the subsequent seizure. After several generations of processing and sorting, it becomes the Great Black Heaven God of Wealth in the world today. This story itself is just a story, but as long as sentient beings believe in it, it is Buddhism. Just as you said in Cangyun Mountain, the essence of Buddhism is the word "faith". As for whether the Dharma and the story are true, it is actually secondary."

Wu Youyou nodded, "I understand, don't worry, I know what to do."

Tang Ning was worried, "Do you really understand?"

Wu Youyou smiled faintly and held her hand, "Beyond the Dharma Realm of the Illusion Spirit Stone, there is a heaven outside the sky. In the Dharma Realm of the Illusion Spirit Stone, I am the only one who is the only one who is the Dharma Realm of the Illusion Spirit Stone. What sentient beings want is not the truth, but the peace of mind. Let them be at peace of mind, which is the Buddha's kingdom, and let them believe in it devoutly, which is the Pure Land."

Tang Ning smiled knowingly and felt relieved.

"I followed Master and went through seven kalpas," she sighed, "Every time I rebuild the Buddha's realm, the Buddha and all the seven-generation Buddhas do this. To put it bluntly, the biggest difference between the Buddha's realm and the heavenly realm is that the heavenly realm is about truth. Cultivation depends on opportunities, roots and bones, and your own efforts. The Buddha's realm is different. The Buddha's realm will tell sentient beings that it doesn't matter if your roots and bones are not good, it doesn't matter if you don't work hard enough, you just need to believe. As long as your faith is strong enough, everything can be there. If not, then your faith is not strong enough... The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Buddha's realm are also sentient beings. I was also one of them. It was not until later that I became a seven-generation Buddha and controlled seven illusion stones that I saw through the truth of the Buddha's realm. And this truth is a secret that cannot be told, and we can only tell this. "

Wu Youyou smiled, "So the Buddha Realm must exist, otherwise sentient beings will not even have any thoughts; but the Buddha Realm cannot be too powerful, because the Buddha Kingdom created by the illusion stone has boundaries after all, and once it passes through the boundaries, the illusion will be shattered. But whether it is inside or outside, true or false, it is not important. For sentient beings, as long as they are at peace, they are the other side. Just like adults coaxing children, a kind lie is deception and compassion."

Tang Ning nodded.

Wu Youyou looked at her seriously, "Don't worry, my wife, I remember it all."
