Chapter 1784 Tathagata
In the endless void, the Buddha’s light in the Pure Land is brilliant, illuminating all directions.
At a certain moment, the portal opened and Zhang Chunyi walked out.
“Everyone in the world underestimates the Buddha and Buddhism.”
Standing in the void and looking back at the clear sky, ripples appeared in Zhang Chunyi's heart.
After reaching the cooperation, he stayed in Paradise for a while and discussed Taoism with the Buddha. Both sides gained a lot. It was also because of this that he had a deeper understanding of the Buddha's background. In his opinion, the Buddha was the most hidden one in the Taixuan Realm. Although he has been low-key in these years, his cultivation has reached the pinnacle and he is only one step away from establishing the Tao.
"When one day the giant Buddha sits in the mortal world and holds up the infinite Buddhist kingdom in one hand, there will be another Taiyi Golden Immortal in this world."
With a sigh in his heart, Zhang Chunyi vaguely saw a glimpse of the future.
Although he used the Tianjun furnace to reflect his own body and saw what the Dao should be like, he had a clear goal and was far more advantageous than other beings in creating a new Dao, but the time he spent practicing was still too short. Even though he comprehended the yin and yang of heaven and earth, the eight ways of wind, thunder, fire and man, and used them as a basis to perfect the Dao as much as possible, he still lacked perfection and found it difficult to establish the Dao. But the Buddha was different. He was similar to the former Taoist ancestor and had already embarked on the path.
Its teachings are mysterious and mysterious, and emphasize heavy responsibility. It urges one to save others before saving oneself. This coincides with the Buddha's philosophy of opening the door to convenience, saving people from suffering, and saving all living beings. Or perhaps it is because of this philosophy that the Buddha was able to comprehend such a teaching.
After such long years of accumulation, with the entire Buddhist community as an anchor, the Buddha has accumulated enough resources to establish his path without seeking help from outside. He will inherit the cause and effect of all the Buddhas in the Buddhist community, hold up the Buddhist kingdom with one hand, and achieve his own path to enlightenment.
"The Buddha is like this, but I wonder how far the Demon Ancestor has gone? Judging from the current situation, he is probably not as good as him."
“The road ahead is long and arduous, so we must keep walking and see.”
Thoughts arise and disappear, and the heart of Tao is pure. Zhang Chunyi walks away. After Zhang Chunyi leaves, the entire Buddhist community gets in motion after receiving the Buddha's decree. The days of Buddhism being closed are about to end, and they are about to enter the world and participate in all kinds of disputes.
In fact, even though Buddhism has been closed for a long time, it has never been truly detached from the world. Who dares to claim to be detached while living in the world?
Om, the Buddha's light permeates and evolves a pure land. The majestic figures of the six realms appear here, some of them emit infinite light, some have angry eyes like a diamond, and some save the world with compassion. Each of them has his own magical powers. They are the six ancient Buddhas of Buddhism, namely Ksitigarbha Buddha, Lapis Lazuli Light Buddha, Nagarjuna Buddha, Medicine Buddha, Avalokitesvara Buddha, and Ratnakūta Buddha.
Among them, Ksitigarbha Buddha and Avalokitesvara Buddha cultivated Bodhicitta, Lapis Lazuli Light Buddha and Medicine Buddha cultivated compassion, Nagarjuna Buddha and Ratnakūta Buddha cultivated Vajra Heart.
These six ancient Buddhas all have ancient origins and profound background. They were once listed alongside the Nine Buddhas of Taoism, and in recent years they have made great achievements in the Pure Land. They live in the Pure Land, sit on lotus pedestals, and are not burdened by cause and effect. They have made breakthroughs in their cultivation, and each of them is a powerful figure of the time.
"Ksitigarbha Buddha, the Buddha is about to enter the world to save the suffering of all directions, but I don't know how the Buddha is practicing?"
Holding a treasure vase in his hand and with a solemn appearance, Avalokitesvara Buddha spoke. Among the six ancient Buddhas of Buddhism, he is the only one who manifested in female form. His voice is ethereal, like a clear spring in a mountain stream, silently soaking into the hearts of others.
Hearing this, the other ancient Buddhas also cast their eyes towards Ksitigarbha. They were also very concerned about this issue. The Buddha was the contemporary leader of Buddhism and symbolized the orthodoxy of Buddhism. Even they, the ancient Buddha, had to give due respect to him. The most important thing was that they knew clearly that this generation of Buddha was very special and was the Buddha appointed by the Buddha.
Feeling the attention of the ancient Buddhas, Ksitigarbha, wearing gray and white monk's robes, looked like an old monk, but his expression did not change.
"I have already achieved a good state of cultivation in this life. I have been practicing the Mahavairocana Sutra, using my body as Mahavairocana and cultivating the Tathagata in my heart. I have made some achievements and ignited the fire in my heart. I have a promising future."
Without haste or delay, Dizang gave the answer.
Hearing this, the eyes of all the ancient Buddhas lit up. They also knew a thing or two about the mystery of the Mahavairocana Sutra, which was a supreme scripture created by the Buddha's method of observing the ancestor of demons. It contained the true meaning of Buddhism. This method emphasized intention and focus, and stressed the importance of accumulation. As long as the Tathagata was achieved in one's heart, all kinds of supernatural powers would be self-sufficient, and igniting the fire in one's heart was the most important hurdle.
"Amitabha, the Buddha was transformed from the essence and blood of the Demon Ancestor, and he inherited a lot of the Demon Ancestor's luck, so he was born extraordinary."
With a smile on his face and a body like Maitreya, Medicine Buddha is delighted with his progress in this life.
Hearing this, King of Lapis Lazuli Light Buddha no longer remained silent.
"When the fire of the heart is born, the Great Dao will be before his eyes. The Buddha will help him connect the cause and effect. When the Great Scarlet Sky, one of the nine original heavens, is reborn, the Buddha will be able to follow his destiny. By then, with the destiny bestowed upon him, he may be able to cultivate the Tathagata in his heart with the help of the power of the Great Scarlet Sky. At that time, he will be the true World Honored One of our Buddhist sect."
There was a bright light in the eyes, as if the Buddha of Lapis Lazuli Light saw through the present and into the future.
Seeing such a Lapis Lazuli Light King Buddha, the ancient Buddhas fell silent, with thoughts churning in their hearts. In Buddhism, Tathagata refers to the highest achievement of the mind, who is not bound by anything, grasps the true nature, and is free in mind, so he is called Tathagata.
In the current Buddhism, only the Buddha has achieved such an achievement. Even these ancient Buddhas are far behind them. In life, there are too many helplessness and too many entanglements. Often, one cannot control one's body, and even more so one's heart. Once one truly takes this step in this life, with the blessing of Mahakali, one can immediately ascend to immortality and become the Buddha of Buddhism. At the same time, he will completely occupy the present of the three top fruit positions in the past, present, and future of Buddhism.
The Buddha is responsible for the cause and effect of all Buddhas, and with his supreme supernatural powers, he created the Pure Land in the Buddha's palm. From this, there are three top fruit positions in the past, present and future. Each fruit position is extremely mysterious. If one obtains one, there is a hope of immortality. However, the Buddhist worldly master chosen by the Buddha has already occupied one of these positions early.
"Amitabha, everything is the law of karma. When the Buddha returns to his throne, our Buddhist sect will flourish."
Chanting the Buddha's name and looking at the silent ancient Buddhas, the voice of Buddha Lapis Lazuli Light King rang out again.
After hearing this, they looked at each other and several ancient Buddhas chanted the Buddha's name. Although they had selfish motives, they sincerely hoped that Buddhism would become more and more powerful.
"The Buddha has ordered that one of us should go to the underworld. What do you think?"
The topic changed, and the ancient Buddha Baozhuang, who had been silent, spoke.
Hearing this, the expressions of several ancient Buddhas varied. The underworld was the only one that dominated the netherworld, and it was blessed by nature. The throne of the Five Ghost Emperors was even more powerful, and every word and action of theirs could affect the entire netherworld. Even for them, such a throne of an emperor was extraordinary, and with its blessing, their practice would be much smoother.
But although the underworld is good, it is ultimately the base of Longhu Mountain. Once you enter it, you will inevitably be subject to many restrictions and will not be comfortable. Moreover, once you choose to step into the underworld, you will basically have no chance to obtain the three top positions in the Paradise, and you will give up the opportunity for immortality that is right in front of you.
Just when several ancient Buddhas were silent, Ksitigarbha spoke.
"Then let me go."
With a resounding voice, Dizang expressed his will.
The three positions of the past, present and future are indeed very good. If you obtain one, you can achieve immortality. This is the fortune left by the Buddha, but it is also a kind of bondage. They are the pillars of the Pure Land. Once you return to your position, it is almost impossible to transcend.
Of course, compared to the immortal fruit, this price is actually nothing, because transcendence is so ethereal that even ancient Buddhas like them cannot see any hope at all. It is equivalent to exchanging something that does not exist for a chance of immortality. This deal is not a loss no matter how you look at it.
However, compared to pursuing these three levels of enlightenment and inheriting the path left by the Buddha, Ksitigarbha still wants to find his own way.
Hearing this, looking at Ksitigarbha with a calm expression, several ancient Buddhas nodded slowly.
Seeing this, Dizang put his hands together, bowed to several ancient Buddhas, then took a step forward and went straight into the underworld.
