Journey to the West, there are nine golden crows in me

Chapter 557 Amitabha

Buddhism is vast and there are countless Buddhas. Among those countless Buddhas, who is the most noble Buddha?
Some people say that it is the Supreme Tathagata Buddha of Ten Thousand Buddhas, but it is not.The most noble Buddha in Buddhism is the Buddha who only exists in legends, Amitabha.

This is the owner of the Western Ultimate Bliss World. He once made great ambitions to establish the Western Pure Land, broaden all living beings, and achieve immeasurable solemn merits.

The ancestor of Buddhism once made 48 extraordinary vows after five kalpas of thinking.

Since then, I have continued to accumulate merit and virtue, and before ten kalpas from now, I wish to complete my actions and become Amitabha Buddha.

This Buddha can lead people to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, so it is also called the Buddha of Receiving and Leading.

It is said to be a guiding Buddha, but Amitabha is not a guiding sage, nor is it a sage of Zhunti.

In fact, in Buddhism, there is no Amitabha Buddha at all. He is completely fabricated and only exists in Buddhist scriptures and legends.

This is the real fake Buddha.

Why this is so, we have to start with the origin of Buddhism.Although Buddhism is in the West, and the two sages of the West are regarded as the leader, in fact, Buddhism was not opened by the two sages of the West, but by the Tathagata Buddha.

In order to gain a firm foothold in the West, Tathagata Buddha created a fictional Amitabha.It is not a fiction. More precisely, the Tathagata Buddha created an Amitabha Buddha out of thin air based on the deeds of the two Western saints.

If you study carefully, you will find that the Amitabha Buddha recorded in the Buddhist scriptures is actually the second sage of the West.For example, the 48 great ambitions were made by the two sages of the West.The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the West was also developed by the two.

The Tathagata Buddha put everything that the two Western sages did into one person, and this person is Amitabha.

Why did Western religion merge with Buddhism so easily?It is because the founders of Buddhism and Western religion are the two saints of the West.

With the merger of the two religions, the luck of Buddhism has skyrocketed, and the joy in the hearts of the two Western Saints is self-evident.And the Tathagata Buddha also became the leader of Buddhism based on this, gained immeasurable luck, and cultivated into the realm of quasi-sage in one fell swoop.

In this matter, the two saints of the West benefited, and the Tathagata Buddha also benefited. The only one who lost money was probably the Taishang Laojun.

He originally wanted to use Buddhism to annex the Western religion, but he didn't expect Duobao to turn against the water suddenly, which made him lose his wife and lose his army.

Daoist Duobao was brought to the west by Taishang Laojun, and the opening of Buddhism was also carried out under his instructions.

Taishang Laojun has calculated everything, but he has neglected Taoist Duobao's hatred for him, and would rather devote himself to the West than fulfill his merits.

……

Amitabha does not exist, but he is the patriarch of Buddhism in name after all, he has a high status, has countless beliefs, and enjoys the worship of the entire Buddhism.

The Buddha name of Buddhism is Amitabha, which shows its high status.

In terms of power of vows, Amitabha Buddha is the best of the Buddhas who do not exist in Buddhism, and is far better than Tathagata Buddha.

Jiang Chen's so-called bold idea is to use the vow power of these sentient beings to manifest the illusory Amitabha Buddha.

Amitabha Buddha, who has the most beliefs in Buddhism, once born, his strength, the weakest, is the realm of quasi-sages. I am afraid that even if the Tathagata Buddha is resurrected, he may not necessarily be his opponent.

After all, what Amitabha Buddha represents is the strongest foundation of Buddhism.If he is not strong, wouldn't he be ashamed of being the number one Buddhist sect?
"Amitabha!"

"If he can be born, then I can rest easy from now on. Even if the Tathagata Buddha and others are all resurrected, I will not be afraid. With the strength of Amitabha, even if I lose to them, I can still guard the Lingshan Mountain."

Glancing quietly, Jiang Chen's heart became more and more shaken by the power of the vow possessed by Amitabha Buddha above the Lingshan Mountain.

That wish power is really too much, it can be called endless, and the gods born from it are absolutely powerful.It can only be said that it is worthy of the Buddha created with the prototype of a sage, that is, it is powerful and incredible.

Although Amitabha Buddha is fictional, his original form is real, that is, the two saints of the West.

Therefore, in a sense, Amitabha Buddha is the incarnation of the two saints in the West, and the endless power of vows should also belong to them.

That's why Jiang Chen was afraid that if he activated Amitabha's vow power, he would arouse the dissatisfaction of the two sages in the West, thereby offending them, sending down holy punishments, and destroying Amitabha.

Concerned about the saint, Jiang Chen didn't dare to make a move, but he was not willing to let him give up like this.Because, interpreted from another angle, it can be said that this Amitabha Buddha has nothing to do with the two saints of the West.

The two Western saints have never admitted that Amitabha Buddha is their incarnation.The news that Amitabha Buddha is the incarnation of the second sage of the West is all made up by everyone.

With the power of the two saints, if you want to occupy the position of Amitabha Buddha, you can just create an incarnation.But the two of them never did this, leaving the position of Amitabha Buddha vacant.

Does that mean that the two saints of the West don't care who Amitabha is?
The more Jiang Chen thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

After all, judging from the actions of the two Western sages in recent years, they don't care about Buddhism at all, and they don't care who the Buddhism is dominated by.

What they care about is whether Buddhism can prosper and whether it can help them fulfill the 48 ambitions they made in the past.

Back then, in order to become a sage, the two sages of the West made 48 great wishes in a row and borrowed a large amount of merit from the way of heaven.Now that countless years have passed, this loan has become their biggest burden.

In order to fulfill his great wish, the Zhunti sage spared no effort to sacrifice his face and went everywhere to save souls.As for betraying Taoism and changing the name of the Western religion to Buddhism, it was because he saw the hope of the great prosperity of the Western religion.

If they continue to stay in Taoism, the Western religion can only be a vassal of Taoism and will never be able to flourish.Therefore, the Second Saint of the West left Taoism without hesitation.

"Judging from the actions of the two Western Saints in recent years, as long as they can help them fulfill their ambitions, no matter what happens to Buddhism, they will not interfere."

"Since that's the case, even if I create Amitabha, it should be nothing. After all, compared with the Tathagata Buddha and others, the Buddhas born out of vows must be more keen to consider the common people."

"The common people are their foundation. If they don't love the common people, they will lose their source of strength. Only by being controlled by the common people will they not abandon the common people."

"Compared with the Buddhas, the gods can help the two sages of the West to create the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss in their minds."

"God has an impermanent heart, and his heart is for all living beings!"

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Chen finally made up his mind that he would take a gamble and manifest Amitabha Buddha.

He felt that there was a high probability that this move would not offend the Second Saint of the West.Because it is not the first time that the core of Western religion has been changed.

If Western religion becomes Buddhism, wouldn't the core be replaced?Now, he is just doing what the Tathagata Buddha once did.

Why, what the Tathagata Buddha could do, Jiang Chen couldn't?

Western religions can be renamed Buddhism, and in the same way, Buddhism can also be renamed God religions.Of course, the premise of all this is to help the Second Saint of the West to fulfill his ambition.

If this cannot be achieved, the Second Saint of the West will definitely intervene, and will not sit back and watch Jiang Chen mess around.

Otherwise, it's fine together.

In fact, even if there is a problem, that's okay. With the current situation of Buddhism, even if the Second Western Saint disagrees with Jiang Chen's plan, he will only warn him to be more honest, and will not kill him.
