Journey to the West: Moral Heaven

Brahma opened four mouths at the same time: "This deity is seeing Sakyamuni off!"

Ananda uttered the Buddha's name and said, "You are originally under the seat of the World-Honored One. Before the World-Honored One's Nirvana, if the World-Honored One treated you well, how would you treat him?"

Da Brahma used to be the Buddha's attendant, and followed the Buddha to practice Buddhism, but the more he practiced, the more he disagreed with the Buddha's concept of equality. He believed that there is a difference between high and low in life. The noble must worship and obey the noble, and must not go beyond.

While the Buddha was alive, he could still suppress Brahma, but now that the Buddha is gone, Brahma jumped out and rebelled.

"Ha ha ha ha"

The four mouths of Brahma laughed together: "This world and all sentient beings are created by me and transformed by me. I am the creator of the world. Why don't you pay homage?"

Chen E secretly shook her head, isn't this the historical reappearance of Brahmanism expelling Buddhism?

Buddhism pays attention to the equality of all beings, but it offends the nobles. The nobles are born to enjoy, they are the masters, so why should they be equal to you common people?Why do you use your own money to give to the poor?

Then there was the rise of Brahmanism, and what I saw before my eyes was just a fairy tale version of the dispute between Brahmanism and Buddhism.

Looking at the cultivation base of Da Brahma, the laughter was like thunder, which made his ears roar. Avalokitesvara and Tathagata have the same karma.

"Brahma, don't be presumptuous!"

From the west, a young god riding a white elephant and holding a magic pestle stepped into the air and shouted sharply.

"It's Indra, the country of Sravasti is saved!"

Di Shitian is handsome and dressed in the imperial crown. He is the guardian deity of Buddhism. He lives in the Taoli Heaven on the top of Mount Sumeru. It is to protect the Buddha, Dharma and monks, which shows the deep origin of the two.

The appearance of Di Shitian made the people relieved, and Ananda and Kassapa also showed a little relief.

"Ha ha ha ha"

Da Brahma laughed and said: "Indra, King Asura is going to settle accounts with you. You have robbed King Asura's beloved daughter. You used to have Sakyamuni backing you, but now Sakyamuni has gone. Who will support you, I am not afraid to tell you, in a few days, I will raise an army of hundreds of millions, together with King Asura and Mopo Xun, will attack the country of Sravasti from three sides, turn [-] million of its souls into blood-eating slaves, and wipe out the world's Dharma , you are good at fighting, how many times can you deal with it? Your death is coming soon, if you switch to my Brahmanism, maybe I will protect you, so you know it yourself!"

With the laughter, Brahma gradually went away.

Di Shitian didn't stop him, with a serious look on his face.

The people below are like mourning concubine, no matter how strong Di Shitian is, how can he be the opponent of Brahma, King Asura and Mo Boxun?

They seemed to have seen the tragic end of being slaughtered or enslaved. Many people knelt down and asked for Di Shitian's blessing.

"Hold the funeral for the Buddha quickly, and discuss the matter of the three demons joining forces when we return to Shravasti Kingdom!"

Di Shitian left his instructions and rode away on a white elephant.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The arrival of the Great Brahma brought panic to the people of Sravasti. Originally, the Buddha's Nirvana was a big deal, but at this time, no one paid attention to it. They either knelt down and cried, or begged bitterly, and even many people scattered and flee.

"Piety alone does not guarantee faith!"

Chen E secretly sighed.

It is also true that Buddhist beliefs are mainly voluntary and relatively loose, but throughout history, in order to form a strong belief, a severe punishment mechanism is needed.

If nothing else, just talk about the door.

Chinese martial arts are inherited from Daomen. The tortures used by martial arts gangs, such as three knives and six holes, lighting sky lanterns, etc., can be traced back to the period of Taiping Dao and Wu Dou Mi Dao. Daomen at that time was a strict paramilitary organization. For traitors, They were all severely punished.

But Buddhism is relatively more relaxed in this respect, and it will only gradually become weaker if it gives grace instead of power. Historically, Buddhism was expelled from India by Brahmanism, and it was completely defeated in Central Asia. This has a lot to do with this.

Kasyapa also sighed and said, "Buddha's Nirvana is an eventful time. What Di Shitian said is right. It is right to move the Buddha to Tianguan Temple first, and ask King Kushinaga to light the pyre and bury the Buddha."

Ananda said to Chen Ehe: "The benefactor is the divine son appointed by the Buddha, please follow the poor monk to Tianguan Temple first."

Chen E originally held an attitude of respect and distance to Ananda, but Emperor Ziwei's reminder made him realize that he could not avoid troubles, on the contrary, he needed to take the initiative to enter the world in order to find a way to leave.

He didn't want to be imprisoned until Xiao'e became a Buddha. At that time, all the dust had settled. Even if he was released, he would have cooked rice from raw rice, and Emperor Ziwei's reminder must be related to the official seal. Since he is an official, he must Dealing with people and looking for opportunities, he felt that he should have more contact with Shewei Kingdom.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Chen E cupped her hands and saluted.

Ananda smiled slightly, and arranged for the five hundred bhikkhus who followed him to carry them all the way to Tianguan Temple with thick and long wooden sticks propped under the cloud bed.

Tianguan Temple is the royal temple of the Kusinaka Kingdom. It is magnificent, and the sound of Zen singing, the king has long been waiting. According to the etiquette, the king should preside over the ceremony and burn the body of the Buddha.

Dabi originally means burning, and usually refers to burning the body and burying its remains, which is extended to cremation. Dabi is one of the four burials in ancient India. Before the Buddha was born, this burial method was regarded as a formal burial.

The king threw the torch into the wood, but it went out by itself.

"Could it be that I am dishonest in serving the Buddha?"

The king knelt down, his face full of uneasiness.

"Amitabha"

Kasyapa uttered the Buddha's chant and said: "The King please stand up, the World Honored One does not mean to blame, it must be that he has made a choice, please step back!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

King Hash stepped aside.

Ananda, Kassapa, monks and monks threw torches into the firewood one after another, and they all burned out every time they threw them.

"Benefactor please!"

Ananda handed the torch to Chen E again.

Chen E always felt that this was a trap, but the monks had already voted, and it was his turn to be emotional and reasonable, so he took the torch and threw it into the woodpile.

"boom!"

Immediately, the flames were blazing, and the firewood pile with a radius of several tens of feet was ignited into the sky. The tongue of fire swallowed, wrapped the Buddha's body, and gradually melted, exuding a fragrance like sandalwood, which made people's mind gradually quiet.

"Sure enough, only the Son of Man of Heaven can hold the Dabi ceremony for the World Honored One. The World Honored One had predicted that the Son of God of Mandate of Heaven would save the country of Savatthi. Amitabha, good, good!"

Ananda Heshi bowed to Chen E.

Kasyapa led the monks to recite devoutly, and some people couldn't help crying with joy.

This is to catch the ducks on the shelves!

Chen E couldn't confirm whether this was the arrangement of Guanyin, and if so, what was the purpose of Guanyin?

"Ok?"

Chen E suddenly felt that something was wrong, and as he inhaled the aroma from the burning body of the Buddha, he actually got closer to the Buddha, which obviously had a big problem.
