Chapter 1167 What Is This Life For?

Sakyamuni was born in the Kingdom of India, and was naturally based in India. He traveled for hundreds of years and returned to his home country. The teachings spread by Sakyamuni were valued by many people, especially in the Kingdom of Tianzhu, which has made the image of Sakyamuni , worshiped it and regarded it as a god.

The reason why Sakyamuni returned was that he thought the time was ripe. He was different from Confucius when he established the religion. Confucius was just a mortal, even the great sage of Confucianism was just a mortal, but Sakyamuni was different.

He is a powerful person. Although he is just a Daluo Jinxian, his understanding of his teachings is no less than that of the ancient Buddhas. The last time Western Mahayana Buddhism was afraid of retaining the ancient Buddhas and asked him to discuss the Tao, but in the end they were defeated.

Therefore, Sakyamuni had the intention to establish a religion. Although his teachings were also derived from Mahayana Buddhism, they were different from the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism in many places.

Mahayana Buddhism is beneficial to people after death, but Sakyamuni's teachings are beneficial to life in this world. In comparison, Sakyamuni's teachings are easier for people to accept, so Sakyamuni was able to survive in a short period of time. Over time, his teachings swept Hezhou, Xiniu.

In the Kingdom of Tianzhu, Dabao Temple is the temporary dojo of Sakyamuni. At this time, Sakyamuni has numerous disciples. Anyone who is willing to practice his teachings can respect him as the World Honored One.

In the square of Dabao Temple, Sakyamuni was wearing a plain cassock and was preaching to five hundred disciples. For a moment, flowers fell from the sky and golden lotuses surged from the ground. Perhaps Sakyamuni had the blessing of heaven. After all, he was the one to measure calamities. main character.

Originally, visions would appear only when saints preached, but they all appeared when Sakyamuni preached. The true sound of the Tao was transmitted to the ears of five hundred disciples, and they all shook their heads. The one who understood it, Sakyamuni, said, Each and every one of them is incredible.

Suddenly, Sakyamuni listened, and all the disciples opened their eyes. After all, Sakyamuni had only preached for less than a day before he stopped. This was very different from usual, so these disciples were confused. looked at Sakyamuni.

"Why did the World Honored One stop?" A bald man with a ferocious expression asked Sakyamuni. This man was a robber whom Sakyamuni saved. He later became his disciple and changed his name to Jianglong.

Sakyamuni smiled and said: "A guest has come, so I stopped preaching. Please be patient and calm for a moment. The great Buddha will come to this world later and discuss the Tao with me. I hope you will listen to the lecture."

Hearing Sakyamuni's words, everyone was immediately shocked. They did not expect another great Buddha to come. I remember that decades ago, they thought that the ancient Buddha had come to discuss the Tao with Sakyamuni, but they were defeated. Returned to Mount Sumeru.

"Namo Ami burns the lantern to worship the ancient Buddha and comes to India to seek advice from the great sages." The voice of the lantern seemed to come from nine heavens away. The gentle voice contained a strong illusion of Buddha's voice, which made Sakyamuni The disciples sitting down were all trapped in an illusion.

"Om" Sakyamuni's lips moved, and a voice appeared. In an instant, all the disciples came out of the illusion.

This is the eight-character mantra originally created by Sakyamuni. Of course, the reason why Sakyamuni was able to rescue his disciples was actually because Ran Deng did not use all his strength, but just did it casually. Otherwise, with Sakyamuni In today's realm, he is still no match for Ran Deng.

"I am deeply honored that the Buddha has arrived." Sakyamuni said slowly to the burning lantern.

Ran Deng discovered from Sakyamuni's voice just now that Sakyamuni had some strength. Although his level of cultivation was not as good as his own, the debate between the two religions should not be underestimated.

"The great sage is also a Buddhist, why do you establish teachings again?" Ran Deng sat down in the air, and suddenly a nine-grade merit lotus platform appeared. This was the original twelve-grade merit golden lotus with four lotus seeds. one.

"Buddha saves all sentient beings, why do we cultivate the afterlife? If so, what is the use of this life? The afterlife is this life, what is the afterlife? Please ask the Great Buddha to clarify the confusion for the young monk." Sakyamuni said lightly, this is what he insisted on establishing another Buddhism. fundamental.

If the burning lamp can solve this problem, then the idea of ​​establishing another Buddhism can be cancelled. Sakyamuni can transform into the angry-eyed Vajra and the compassionate Buddha.

Ran Deng was stunned. He did not expect that as soon as he arrived in Tianzhu, he would be asked this question by Sakyamuni. Even after considering the meaning of Sakyamuni's words, Ran Deng was instantly shocked when he thought about it. He thought he thought highly of Sakyamuni, but unexpectedly he underestimated him.

There is no solution to this statement, and it can be explained, but he can't solve it by lighting the lamp, so he has to invite Taoists to come and explain Sakyamuni's doubts.

Because the gentle Buddhist principles contained in Sakyamuni's words are too broad. Although he is an ancient Buddha, he cannot easily explain the confusion. After all, this Mahayana Buddhism was not created by him. If there are errors, Randen cannot be held responsible.

Sakyamuni is the current Buddhist teaching in the cold wind. Generally speaking, it is said that Mahayana Buddhism is selling itself on sheep. It talks about cultivating the afterlife every day. In fact, when you arrive in the afterlife, you are arguing with the Buddha, but you are still cultivating the afterlife!

There are so many future lives, and they are all this life! In this case, why do we pay attention to cultivating the afterlife? The peaceful and prosperous age talks about the afterlife, while the countries in war and chaos cultivate this life. This is what Sakyamuni realized. However, the afterlife that Sakyamuni talked about is not the endless afterlife.

The afterlife mentioned by Sakyamuni is a kind of sustenance, a kind of spiritual sustenance. This kind of afterlife, in Sakyamuni's opinion, is the real afterlife.

Ran Deng thought hard for a long time and shook his head. Although he knew how to answer, he also knew that Sakyamuni must understand the afterlife of Mahayana Buddhism, but there were some words that he could not say.

"You need to ask Amitabha Buddha on Mount Sumeru." After Ran Deng said these words, he turned around and left Dabao Temple and flew towards Lingjiu Mountain. It was not that he had lost the argument, but there were some words that he could not say.

Therefore, Ran Deng did not return to Sumeru Mountain, but returned to his own dojo, Lingjiu Mountain.

Sakyamuni pondered for a long time, and then said calmly: "You guys should leave first, and I'll come back when I'm gone." After saying that, Sakyamuni rose into the clouds and flew towards Mount Sumeru. If you are confused, let Amitabha explain it.

Of course, Sakyamuni also knew that if this doubt was not solved, his teachings would never be established. He wanted to confirm the answer in his heart to see if what he thought was correct. If he was wrong, his teachings would be like a mirror in the mirror. All are illusions.

"The virtual is illusion, the real is real. The past, present life, and next life are all connected and will never intersect. The past is like a mirror, and the next life is illusory. Why is this life?"

Hongyun and Houtu appeared in Hezhou, Xiniu, and landed not far in front of Sakyamuni. The sound was just right for Sakyamuni to hear.
