Transcending the quasi-tidy history of the great struggle

In the blink of an eye, the 49th day of July [-]th has passed.

The Xilian Chan River was flowing, and Gautan sat quietly under the bodhi tree by the river, his originally frowning brows slowly relaxed, a soft halo emanated from his body, and the demons on his body screamed silently and disappeared.

It was early morning at this time, the east was white, the morning light was faint, and the morning star was shining in the sky.

If Qu Tan felt something, he opened his clear eyes, looked up at the sky, saw the Taibai Jinxing shining in the remaining night, suddenly the last shackles in his heart were broken, and the auspicious light was rising from his body.

Then, the faintly visible rays of precious light spread out immediately, turning into boundless Buddha light, illuminating the ten directions, and the flowers and rain were colorful, floating down, all of which were blue, red, white and gold four-color lotus flowers, mixed with ubala flowers and manjusha. Flowers, Jinboluo flowers, and eight guardian dragons praised in harmony in the void.All of a sudden, the chaotic world of mortals is like the pure land of Saha, and Gotan is the living Buddha.

As the sun rose, Qu Tan smiled, stood up slowly, and asked a shepherdess for some milk porridge.After drinking a whole clay pot of milk porridge, he finally regained the energy he had spent in hard thinking for 49 days.Thanks to the shepherdess, he walked in the direction he had come.There are five disciples who abandoned him, and he is going to find them and lead them on the path of Dharma again.

He didn't use his supernatural powers, he just walked with his own steps.Gautan knew very well that in the land of Tianzhu, various schools of monks did many absurd ascetic practices in order to seek supernatural powers and longevity.He is determined to spread the righteous way, direct to the original heart, cultivate one's morality, not seek supernatural powers to live forever, and change the status quo.

In the next few decades, Gautan's teachings spread throughout Tianzhu, and people respectfully called him Sakyamuni, which means "the sage of the Sakyamuni family."

At Hangu Pass in the east, an old man in gray robe rode out of the pass on a green ox. Behind him, Guan Yin and his followers saw him off.He has just left five thousand words of moral teaching here, destined to be spread all over the world.

The cow's hooves hit the road, ticking, making a crisp and pleasant sound.One person and one cow drifted away, getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared at the end of everyone's sight.

After an unknown amount of time, the old man walked to the side of a high mountain and suddenly patted the cow's head to stop it.

A Taoist stood quietly in front of the old man, holding a wooden stick, and bowed to him: "Disciple Xuandu, I have met the teacher."

"Hmm." The old man nodded, but didn't speak yet.Suddenly the sky opened wide, and a huge virtuous golden light came down. The old man waved his hand, half of the golden light entered his body, and half of it turned into a white diamond bracelet and fell into his hand.

"Xuandu, let's go." The old man turned into a clean breath and went to the sky, and Xuandu led the green bull to follow.

In the Palace of Eight Views, Laozi still sat cross-legged withered eyes slightly closed.The two boys, Jinjiao and Yinjiao, stood beside each other, holding a jade bottle and a plantain fan, carved in powder and carved with jade, they were very cute.

Suddenly there was a burst of fresh air flowing down from the head, spreading all over the body, Lao Tzu's body shook slightly, and his eyes slowly opened.

"The method of beheading the incarnation and fulfilling the wishes of the two western Taoist friends is really miraculous." He murmured, taking out the vajra carving from his sleeve and looking at it carefully.

There were footsteps in front of the palace gate, and the Great Master Xuandu also came up to the sky and saluted him: "The disciple respectfully welcomes the teacher to return to heaven in his incarnation."

"Forget it, let's get flat." Laozi said lightly, "This time the lower realm has gained a lot."

"I don't understand something, so I dare to ask the teacher." Xuandu said.

"speak."

"The five thousand words of moral articles left by the teacher have been widely disseminated, but in the past, the second uncle, the third uncle, and the two Western leaders preached in the wild, and they did not have any merit. However, the teacher neither establishes a teaching nor accepts disciples. , how can there be merits and virtues with just one article?"

"Good question." Lao Tzu said with a smile, "merits and virtues are the rewards of the way of heaven for those who maintain their operation and help them improve themselves. Explanation, teaching, and Buddhism are all ways to teach people to practice, and they are not beneficial to the way of heaven. Merit descends."

"However, I passed down the five thousand words of Tao Te Ching to teach people to introspect their hearts and be pure-minded. People in the world can calm down the disputes of desires, reduce the entanglement of cause and effect, and run in the way of heaven. If everyone in the world can According to the practice of inaction in my "Tao Te Ching", it is not difficult to delay or even eliminate the killing. In addition, I have been out of Hangu Pass for several years, and the "Tao Te Ching" has been passed down to the world through the hands of Guan Yin. Lower the merit reward."

"So that's the case, disciple understands." Master Xuandu nodded.

"In addition, I met a very interesting boy this time when I went down to earth..." There was a complicated look on my face, with joy and regret, "It's a pity that he doesn't want to pursue immortality. He has excellent aptitude. Throw yourself into the ups and downs of the mortal world. That’s all, I can only say that it’s just a matter of ambition, and there’s nothing wrong with it.”

"However, judging by his character, he might surpass me in teaching... There is no distinction between teaching and learning, but he has the demeanor of a master of heaven." Lao Tzu shook his head lightly, and did not continue.

In the land of western India, outside the city of Kushina, the Hiraniyedi River gurgled and flowed, just like the Xilian Chan River next to the Bodhi tree, only a little more desolate.

Sakyamuni is 80 years old this year, which is a rare longevity in the world.However, he did not use supernatural powers to protect his body, so he finally reached the end of his life. He was old and sick, and he needed the support of Kasyapa and other disciples to walk, and the crutches were already difficult to support.

"If you don't experience it, how can you realize it?" He comforted Kasyapa, Ananda, Subhuti, Anarudhi and other tens of thousands of disciples with a soft voice, "If I want to understand the ultimate mystery, I need to experience birth, old age, and illness personally." , death, resentment and hatred, separation from love, not being able to get what you want, and the suffering of the five skandhas, if this is the case, then you can go further and surpass the supreme enlightenment."

After all, he paused, breathing heavily again.Shakyamuni was too weak to talk too much in one breath.

After resting for a while, Sakyamuni suddenly stretched out his right arm, and pulled out a golden Udumbara flower from the void, showing it to everyone, with a smile on his face, without saying a word.

Tens of thousands of people were puzzled and thought over and over in their hearts. Only Venerable Maha Kassapa present smiled knowingly.

"Excellent." Sakyamuni signaled Mahakasyapa to go over, rubbing his hands tremblingly on his head, giving him a prophecy, and said with a smile, "I have the Dharma Eye Store, the wonderful mind of Nirvana, and the reality has no form. The subtle way, without writing, is passed on outside the teaching, and it is put into Moko Kasyapa."

After finishing speaking, the golden sala flowers in his hand withered piece by piece and turned into dust.Mahakasyapa Heshi withdrew, with many unspeakable sentiments in his heart.

At this moment, the two Sala trees behind Shakyamuni happened to be withered and the other flourishing. He nodded: "Neither withered nor prosperous, neither false nor empty." Then he said nothing.

After a while, Sakyamuni washed his feet by himself, with his head facing north and west, lying on his right side, lightly resting his right cheek with his right palm, putting his left hand on his knee, overlapping his left foot on his right foot, and entered the first meditation.From the first jhana, enter the second jhana.From the second jhana, enter the third jhana.From the third jhana to the fourth jhana.Starting from the fourth dhyana, enter the space to concentrate.Start from the emptiness, enter the consciousness.Start from the place of consciousness, and enter without concentration.Never have to settle down, enter what you want without thinking.Starting from having thoughts and not having thoughts, entering and leaving thoughts.

At that time, Sakyamuni was silent, as if he had disappeared, and all the people were at a loss, not knowing why.The Venerable Ananda asked the Venerable Analuddha: "Has the World Honored One passed Nirvana?" The Analytical Law said: "Not yet, Ananda. The World Honored One is now extinction. I heard it from the Buddha in the past. From the Fourth Dhyana .It is parinirvana."

From the extinction of thinking, enter the existence of thinking without thinking.Starting from thinking about whether you want to or not, you can't get into it.There is no need to start from concentration, but to enter consciousness.Start from the place of consciousness, and enter the place of emptiness.Start from the empty place and enter the fourth jhana.From the fourth jhana, enter the third jhana.From the third jhana, enter the second jhana.Start from the second jhana and enter the first jhana.From the first jhana, enter the second jhana.From the second jhana to the third jhana.From the third jhana, enter the fourth jhana.From the fourth dhyana, Buddha-like nirvana, pure and harmonious, silent and silent.

Tens of thousands of people knew that the Buddha had entered parinirvana, and they couldn't control the grief in their hearts, and they all fell to the ground and wept bitterly.

The death knell wailed, the cry shook the sky, and fragrant flowers such as four-color lotus, golden bala, mandala, ubara, manjusawa, etc. fell from the sky, just like a rain of flowers, and it reminds people of the time when Sakyamuni became enlightened. The sudden abnormality made everyone even more sad for a while.

Suddenly a fire rose from Sakyamuni's body, bright red like a red lotus flower, engulfing his body, and dispersed after a few breaths, leaving only more than [-] relics, large or small, crystal clear, faint The sandalwood is lingering, and there is a faint Buddha light shining on it.

Everyone packed up their grief one after another, separated the relics, and took them back to build a pagoda to make offerings.

On Mount Sumeru, Shakyamuni's soul floated and fell to the top of the peak, where he sat with his body together, meditating and comprehending the feeling of death just now.

Eighty-one days after September 81, the endless and immeasurable Buddha's light spread from his body, reflecting in all directions, and the wind and snow disappeared in the invisible.The golden flower wreath rolls all over the sky, the green lotus and white rainbow are layered and spread out, the Sanskrit singing is faint, the clouds are colorful, the precious flames are colorful, and everything is bright.

In the vision, there appeared a majestic purple-milled golden body, six feet tall, with a white snail in a bun, 32 facial features, and eighty kinds of virtues. It was the Buddha Sakyamuni.

Suddenly, flames of five colors intertwined and danced, shaped like a peacock, flying through the sky from the distant sky, with brilliant tail feathers, enveloping a long rainbow bridge, and the brilliance cascaded down like a waterfall.

Above the phantom shadow of the five-colored peacock stands a monk in white clothes, with a long body, a jade crown, a crown of necklaces on his head, and earrings and armbands. He is the Peacock King Bodhisattva.

"Congratulations to the World Honored One for making a further step, achieving the Supreme Hunyuan Dao, and realizing the freedom of space." Peacock Ming Wang titheed and said, "The two masters ordered me to invite you to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."

"Please, King Ming, lead the way." Buddha Shakyamuni smiled.

"For decades, it's really amazing to realize the Hunyuan Daoguo in one fell swoop and become a saint." Zhunti shook his head with emotion, and the other side also had a normal look.

The entrance to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss was opened, and King Peacock Ming walked into it with Shakyamuni Buddha.As soon as the disciples of the disciples, the Dharma protectors and gods all paid homage to each other: "Namo Master Shakyamuni Buddha."

"Congratulations to the tenth reincarnation of Vishnu, who has finally become a Daoist." Zhunti went over to congratulate first, followed by Yingying, followed by Da Brahma, Da Zi Zai Tian, ​​Lantern Buddha, Vairocana Buddha and others.

"Since Fellow Daoist has obtained the Hunyuan fruit status, I should give up my position as the World Honored One of the Great Leiyin Temple." Burning Lamp Buddha laughed.

"If so, I will be disrespectful." Shakyamuni Buddha did not refuse, after all, he is a saint, so there is nothing wrong with it.

"Fellow Taoists have achieved supreme enlightenment through the way of Mahayana, and there should be a piece of pure land where we can share our understanding of practice." Jieyin reminded.

"Teacher is right." Sakyamuni exercised his mind silently, and suddenly a piece of pure land not inferior to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss spread out. There were boundless solemn and beautiful scenery inside. Luo Shuangshu, one withered and one prosperous.With a wave of Shakyamuni's sleeve, Daleiyin Temple was immediately moved into that mountain, without any disharmony.

"The transformation of the heart has made this mountain, so it should be called Lingshan." He nodded.

"Since Sakyamuni became holy today, why not give a speech at Daleiyin Temple, so that the public in the Buddha Kingdom of No Pure Land can experience it?" Zhun asked.

"It's natural." Sakyamuni smiled.

Not long after, Daleiyin Temple was already crowded with monks and bustling with people. Shakyamuni Buddha ascended to the lotus platform of the Dharma seat and explained the three vehicles: "So I heard that for a while, the Buddha was in the Sravasti Kingdom. There were 250, [-] great bhikkhus. At that time, when the World Honored One was eating, he put on his robe and took his bowl, and went to the great city of Sravasti to beg for food. In the city, he begged one after another, and then returned to his original place. After the meal was finished, he collected his mantle and bowl, washed his feet, and covered the seat. and sit."

"At that time, the elder Subhuti stood up from his seat in the crowd, bared his right shoulder, put his right knee on the ground, put his palms together respectfully, and said to the Buddha: 'Rare! World Honored One! The Tathagata protects and recites all Bodhisattvas well, and gives good instructions to all Bodhisattvas. World Honored One! Good men and good women, with the heart of anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, how should you stay, how can you subdue your heart?" The Buddha said: "Good, good, Subhuti! As you said, the Tathagata is good at protecting and thinking about all Bodhisattvas Please listen carefully to all Bodhisattvas. You should say to you: Good men and good women, who have the heart of anuttara-samyak-sambodhi, should abide in this way and subdue their hearts like this.''Only so, World Honored One! Want to hear.'"

……

"At that time, Subhuti heard and said this sutra, deeply understood the meaning, wept weepingly, and said to the Buddha: "Rarely, World Honored One!The Buddha said such a profound scripture, I have acquired wisdom from the past, but I have never heard such a scripture.World Honored One!If someone hears the scriptures and has a pure faith, then the reality will be born. You should know that this is a person who has achieved the first rare merit.World Honored One!Those who are the truth are right and wrong, so the Tathagata speaks of the name of the truth.World Honored One!It is not difficult for me to hear such scriptures, believe, understand, accept and uphold them. If in the next life, five hundred years later, there are sentient beings who can hear this scriptures, believe, understand, accept and uphold them, they will be the first rare..."

The author has something to say: This chapter is a bit rough, for the sake of the integrity of the plot and the need to finish the list, I'm sorry, I will compensate everyone in the future!
