Shen Gongbao Great Sage Persuading Death Immortal

Chapter 348: Make trouble in Heaven again!

When he was worshipping, immortal light, Buddha light, devil light, calamity light... all the lights shone on Shen Gongbao's body, swaying the heavens, penetrating time and space, from top to bottom, upstream of the long river, and landed on a coordinate anchor point.

The present is the past, the past is the present.

In this time and space, Sakyamuni had just attained enlightenment. Not to mention Western religion, even Buddhism was just in its infancy. It was just a religious group with only 1,250 members. Even if Shen Gongbao was included, there were only 1,251 people.

In this era, Taoist Cihang has not had the chance to return to the world, Guanyin is only his future name, and now he is the Tathagata of Righteous Dharma.

In this era, reincarnation has not yet appeared, the Pure Land is just born, and the reward body of Amitabha Buddha is just being conceived.

This is the beginning and this is also the starting point. Any decision made here will affect Buddhism for billions of years to come.

When he stood up again, there was an extra white hair between Shen Gongbao's eyebrows, which twisted to the right like the sun at noon, sacred and bright, adding a bit of righteousness out of thin air and dispelling the sense of evil.

After receiving the ordination from Sakyamuni, he stepped down from the stage, mingled among the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, found a cushion to sit on, and was about to listen to the Dharma and practice diligently.

Suddenly, I felt someone patting my shoulder from behind. A strange voice sounded, saying with a smile, "Brother Dizang, do you know who I am?"

Shen Gongbao was surprised, as he did not have many old friends in the Buddhist community. He looked back and saw a monk with a hairy face and a big mouth, wearing a bright red cassock and a pair of flaming eyes.

"I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be Bi, the monk who caused trouble in Heaven..." Shen Gongbao laughed and just as he uttered the word "Bi", the monk opposite him suddenly became furious. He bared his teeth and stretched out his fingers to take something out of his ears.

Shen Gongbao's expression changed drastically, and he quickly said with a smile: "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven will surely win."

As soon as he said this, the monk calmed down his anger, and the cassock on his body disappeared, transformed into a mighty outfit, wearing a phoenix-wing purple gold crown on his head, a chain mail golden armor on his body, and lotus silk cloud-walking shoes on his feet. He was exactly the naughty monkey who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace.

Shen Gongbao was stunned and asked, "Are you the Saint Equal to Heaven who caused trouble in Heaven, or the Fighting Buddha of Lingshan?"

"I am whoever you think I am in your heart." The monkey laughed and scratched his yellow hair.

If you have the Monkey King in your heart, you will see the Monkey King. If you have the Fighting Buddha in your heart, you will see the Fighting Buddha.

"What a monkey-like mind!"

Shen Gongbao suddenly realized, clapped his hands and laughed, "The Great Sage escaped from the Eight Trigrams furnace, and the monkey calmed down under the Five Elements Mountain. Only when the monkey is familiar and the horse is tamed can the shell be shed. When the merit is accomplished and the practice is fulfilled, the true nature can be seen."

"The spiritual roots give birth to the source, the mind cultivates the great way, and the true and wonderful principles of Bodhi are realized. The devil is eliminated and the soul is united." The monkey smiled and said, "You should still call me Sun Wukong. I am still the Monkey King under the Flower and Fruit Mountain."

"What do you want from me, Wukong?" Shen Gongbao smiled and said, "Although I am the ancestor of robbery, I am in charge of cause and effect. These 81 tribulations were not caused by me."

Sun Wukong scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's a small matter, a small matter. My teacher's previous life made all kinds of calculations and established the foundation of the Western Demon Sect. After reincarnation, he was obsessed with Mahayana Buddhism and wanted to become a meritorious Buddha."

"Unfortunately, in the end, I only got the Scriptures with words, but lost the Scriptures without words, and I could never get rid of the roots of Hinayana Buddhism."

“As for the matter of the Wordless Scripture, if Wukong doesn’t go to find the ancient Buddha Dipankara, he should go to find the great Bodhisattva Maitreya.” Shen Gongbao shook his head repeatedly, fearing that he would be involved in this big storm.

With words or without words, the meaning of the true scriptures is very different.

Kasyapa and Ananda tried their best to pass on the Wordless Sutra, but it was the ancient Buddha Dipankara who ordered Venerable White Bear to reveal it.

There is a huge gap between these two.

The monks are ignorant and cannot recognize the wordless scriptures, so they need people to interpret them and spread Buddhism.

The true scriptures with words can ultimately not escape the scope of "Thus have I heard". Only the true scriptures without words can paint on a blank piece of paper and have the right to interpret the scriptures, which can be called the second Buddha.

Sun Wukong waved his hands and said, "That's right, that's right. The ancient Buddha Dipankara wants to point out the causes of all consequences. Bodhisattvas are in the underworld to cultivate good deeds, control disasters, and establish themselves based on cause and effect. Isn't this a dispute over the great way?"

"Wukong is wrong again." Shen Gongbao laughed and said, "I have been expelled from Yuxu Palace and can no longer be considered a descendant of Yuanshi."

Sun Wukong immediately looked disdainful and sneered, "Bodhisattva, what you said is not sincere. If you really want to be expelled from the immortal list, why didn't you take back the Nine Seals of Creation from you?"

"That was something I found myself in the heavens and myriad worlds. It has nothing to do with Yuxu Palace." Shen Gongbao lied with his eyes open without even blushing.

"Monks do not tell lies." Sun Wukong said.

"I am the original demon." Shen Gongbao put his hands together and uttered a demon name, "I am not a monk now. I still have to go through the six reincarnations and join the Asura path before I can become a Bodhisattva."

Sun Wukong was helpless for a moment. Others said that he was a cunning monkey. The new Ksitigarbha in front of him was also a person who would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit.

"In the past, the Bodhisattva made a vow to save sinners. Why can't he show mercy now?" Sun Wukong sighed and said, "There is no need to pass on the Wordless Sutra. Just help me subdue Liu Er when my mind is torn apart. I don't need to go to the Great Leiyin Temple to suffer."

"Okay, okay." Shen Gongbao thought for a moment and said with a smile, "If I can do it, please ask the Great Sage to do something for me."

"What's the matter?" Sun Wukong blinked vigilantly.
"It's extremely difficult for others, but it's a piece of cake for the Great Sage." Shen Gongbao laughed and said, "Let's make trouble in the Heavenly Palace for a while longer."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong burst into laughter, which made all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas frown. They turned around to see who was making such a loud noise in this holy place and not listening to the Dharma properly.

When the monkey's figure came into their sight, the Buddhas suddenly became calm.

Oh, it’s Monkey King. That’s okay.

"Okay, okay, okay. I think that even though the Bodhisattva has entered Buddhism, his evil nature is still there." Sun Wukong restrained his laughter and said quietly.

"Good, good." Shen Gongbao put his hands together, smiled and said, "I see that although the Great Sage has entered Buddhism, he is still as wild as ever."

"Haha..." Sun Wukong laughed twice, then paused and asked, "What time?"

Shen Gongbao condensed the eight consciousnesses and four wisdoms, retrieved his reincarnation memories and wisdom from past lives, and is now a Taiyi Golden Immortal. It is no exaggeration to say that he has possessed the characteristics of Daluo.

The wisdom halo between the eyebrows shines, and the Buddha's eyes see through the past, future and present. He is almost omniscient and captures all kinds of information.

"There is a killer star that has passed through 1,700 killing disasters, stirring up the heavens and disturbing the four seas. It happened to be the Peach Festival, Emperor Fuxi held a banquet, and all the gods attended the banquet. There was no god guarding Mount Hua, and Erlang split the mountain to save his mother." Shen Gongbao whispered meaningfully, "There are internal and external troubles at the moment, and it is a good opportunity to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace."
