Chapter 294 Mahayana Buddhism
The so-called dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is about the orthodox status of Buddhism and Taoism in ancient times.
In the past, when Buddhism was established in the West, Yuan Shi might have wanted to stop it, but now with his cultivation, he had already seen through it, and he did not take any more Buddhism to his heart.
In the dispute between Taoism and Taoism, what Buddhism and Taoism are fighting for is not just the orthodox status, because Buddha is originally Taoism, and the two saints are still separated from Xuanmen and Taoism. transport. This bit of luck has little effect on him now, and he doesn't bother to destroy the establishment of Buddhism.
However, although luck was of little use to him, it was of great use to his disciples. Yuanshi rolled his eyes and had an idea in his mind.
The two saints in the West must establish Buddhism because when they became saints, they vowed to borrow merit from heaven. Now they have established Buddhism in order to fulfill their vows. Therefore, although the way of heaven will impose some tests, they are not serious. With the cultivation of the two saints, they can easily complete these tests and successfully establish Buddhism.
Sure enough, a huge coercion came from heaven and earth, pressing against the giant Bodhi tree in the void, trying to crush it. However, it did not last long before it was broken by the two saints. In the end, the two saints successfully withstood it. Tested by heaven and earth, you will be willing to establish a religion.
"This is what I heard. All the Buddhas were in the Kingdom of Savatti, in the Garden of Solitude under the Zhushu tree, together with a group of great bhikkhus, a total of one thousand two hundred and fifty people. At that time, the World Honored One..."
"Subhuti the Elder..."
"...all the gods and asuras in the world are very happy when they hear what the Buddha said, and they believe in it and practice it!"
A burst of Buddhist music spread, and this sutra was the foundation of Buddhism. The sound was so loud that it spread throughout the three realms.
All the common people, countless monks, and countless people with great supernatural powers listened carefully to the saint's sermons, and followed this sermon to explain the essence of Buddhism. It contains endless great wisdom and countless Buddhist magical powers. It is the foundation of Buddhism and its mystery. endless.
The sermons of saints are naturally extraordinary.
But in the sky above Xiniu Hezhou, there are thousands of rays of rays of light, billions of Buddha's lights, thousands of auspicious colors, countless Zen sounds, and thousands of purple air. Shrouded in endless auspicious clouds, the saint is led to sit in the void, and his body is automated. Coming out of the Golden Lotus of the Great Way, he spoke endlessly, preaching the classics and wonderful methods of Buddhism and Taoism, enlightening the spiritual wisdom of the people in the world, and planting a Buddha seed deep in their hearts.
Once the seeds of Buddha are planted, even if they do not worship Buddhism now, they will definitely grow and grow as time goes by if they have the opportunity in the future, opening up a heart to Buddha for all sentient beings.
The sacred light lingers behind the saint's head, turning into Buddhist divine wheels, including the light of wisdom, the holy light of merit, the light of universal salvation, the light of compassion, the light of annihilation...
The radiance shone down, giving countless monks a sense of enlightenment on the spot, but it was just a little short of it, making people feel itchy and reluctant to give up.
"Buddha's teachings are indeed boundless and wonderful, and they have their own unique features. I should learn from them."
"Buddhism contains great wisdom, great transcendence, and great cessation of cessation. If students can learn it, I can expect a breakthrough."
"This Buddhist practice is indeed a new one, and the magical power is specifically designed to restrain demons. I must learn it."
"I have already reached the level of Daluo Golden Immortal, but I have never been able to break through to Quasi-Sage. This great Western relic magical power can behead corpses without innate spiritual treasures. It is very suitable for people like me..."
"..."
The sound of the guide was loud and boundless, spreading throughout the ancient world. Many monks, especially casual or poor monks, all had the heart to worship the Buddha, and planned to worship Buddhism after the establishment of Buddhism. In this way, you can not only get the blessings of the two saints, but also learn great supernatural powers, why not do it?
Yuanshi shook his head. There is a certain truth in the fact that Buddhism can exist for countless years in the long river of time, while Taoism has gradually become lonely in history. The magical power of Buddhism is very remarkable. Although it is a unique way, as long as you have the last laugh, no matter what it is, no one will say it is wrong.
The early teachings of Buddhism are that all living beings are equal, that everyone can become a Buddha and an ancestor, and there are many other good teachings. However, as time goes by, everyone has different understandings, or they are misinterpreted by future generations and passed down from generation to generation. Buddhism The meaning of the scriptures has long since changed, and it is no longer what it was originally.
In short, although the early Buddhist teachings had flaws, they were not serious. However, Yuanshi did not dare to praise the later Buddhism.
Buddhism has been established, and even if you don't participate in the battle of luck, you can't avoid it. This is the battle between Eastern Taoism and Western Buddhism. Although Yuanshi doesn't want to do this, he still has to participate for the sake of the East or to explain his own teachings.
"Buddhism, stand!"
Finally, a loud shout resounded throughout the heavens in the ten directions and the starry sky in the three realms, announcing the establishment of Buddhism.
"From now on, Western religion has gone, only Mahayana Buddhism, and I am Amitabha!" Jie Yin said loudly with his hands clasped together.
"I am the Mother of Buddha Zhunti!" The same is true for Saint Zhunti.
As soon as the words fell, the world immediately reacted, and the sound of Sanskrit resounded through the three realms. The long hair on their heads fell off automatically, and their Taoist robes were replaced by monk's robes. The golden wheel of merit behind their heads protected their bodies, and their Taoist cultivation was immediately replaced by the power of Buddhism. , giving people a sense of compassion.
"Amitabha, I am Sakyamuni Buddha, the Tathagata Buddha!"
At this time, a huge golden figure with a full body of golden light, surrounded by Zen sounds, one finger pointing to the sky and the other pointing to the earth, the only one in the sky and the earth, rose slowly from the western sky and the earth. It was vast and boundless, and the Buddha's light shone all over the heavens.
This is the body of the reincarnated body of the saint who held the corpse. Now he has awakened, his cultivation has returned to the perfection of quasi-sage, and he has become a Buddha and an ancestor.
"Buzz buzz-"
The void trembled and buzzed, and then, on the Lingshan Mountain in the west, a vast golden sea of luck appeared. The clouds were misty, and a golden dragon of luck swam in the sea of luck, happily spitting out what the luck had transformed. of clouds.
"Buddhism and Taoism should be established, and the golden lotus of twelve grades of merit should be used to suppress luck!"
Amitabha Buddha took out a golden lotus from his hands and threw it into the sea of clouds with good fortune. The golden lotus quickly grew in size and turned into a golden lotus, rooted in the sea of clouds. The lotus leaves swayed, exuding an inexplicable Taoist charm, transformed by good luck. The dragon flies happily around the golden lotus.
"Buzz——"
Suddenly, the void trembled, and the rolling Tao rhyme spread outward. As the Tao sound resounded, countless images of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats flashed on it one by one. Some were already substantial, while others were just illusory shadows. At the same time, the endless luck of Xiniu Hezhou gathered towards the sea of luck clouds and poured into the twelve-grade golden lotus.
"roll--"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the top of Taihua Mountain. Then, the gods saw a black mist covering the sky, and a ferocious black dragon appeared, hissing towards the golden dragon in the west. Beside him, a twelve-grade black lotus swayed. Drag, exuding a black aura of world destruction.
That is the twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus!
Suddenly, within the control area of Taihua Mountain Tribulation Demon Palace, the luck returned and stopped flowing outward.
At the same time, in the sky above Wuzhuang Temple in Wanshou Mountain, a book with an earthy color appeared, emitting an inexplicable rhyme to suppress the loss of one's own luck.
Seeing this scene, Amitabha and Mother Chunti felt bitter in their hearts. Xiniu Hezhou itself did not have much luck. Now it has been occupied by two places, but their Buddhism did not get much luck. At most, they could only compete with the Tribulation Demon Hall. , Wanshou Mountain formed a three-legged situation. Of course, at present, it seems that the Demon Tribulation Hall is the most powerful and the Longevity Mountain is the weakest.
Seeing this, the faces of the saints in the East looked somewhat good-looking, and many other great powers also looked at Buddhism with complex expressions.
"Chirp——"
Suddenly, a scream rang out, and then a bloody black figure appeared in the sea of Buddhist destiny. There was a strong sense of evil and darkness in that aura, as well as a sense of bloodthirst, like a ferocious ancient beast.
The ferocious beast's dark eyes stared at the twelfth-grade Golden Lotus of Merit that was sucking its luck, and a burst of excitement flashed in its eyes.
