Suzaku

The Ultimate Answer?

Life on the prosperous planet was not prosperous at all, the outside wind was blocked, and the fruit trees shook gently. Zhan Tan Gongde Buddha sighed, walked to the side of the thick fruit trees, and lowered his head to cultivate the soil.

Yi Tianxing followed behind Shigong, and said softly: “The Buddha died as soon as he died, and this matter can’t be changed, Shigong, don’t be sad.”

Zhantan Gongde Buddha turned around, there were no tears on his face, and he said doubtfully: “The Buddha has realized the way of extinction. This is a happy event, so why be sad?” He also said: “Is it possible that the boy can’t understand why the World Honored One abandoned the world?” Showing the meaning of wanting to explain to others.

Yi Tianxing knows these monks very well, including Ye Xiang, all monks have a bit of a habit of being teachers, and when he thinks that his master has been neighbors with the dumb tree for five hundred years in this secluded world, he just Afraid that this would become more intense, he quickly waved his hands and said, “No need, I understand why the Buddha wiped his own neck.”

“Oh.” Zhantan Gongde Buddha became interested, and said: “The poor monk also thought hard for more than a hundred years before he figured out this way. Could it be that the boy understands now?”

Yi Tianxing scratched his head: “BuddhaHe must be a person with great wisdom, and among the gods and Buddhas in the sky, it seems that only he can travel through the long river of time, go to the beginning of the universe, go to the end of the universe, and see what our world looks like. ”

“Continue.” Zhan Tan Gongde Buddha became more interested.

Yi Tianxing spread his hands and said: “A man of great wisdom has nothing to do, so he has to think hard every day.”

“what to think”

“Think about some questions that I have thought about before.” Yi Tianxing sighed and said, “Who am I, where am I from, where am I going, vulgar or not is a question.”

“I am me, I am not me, I come from where I come from, and I go to where I go.” Zhan Tan Gongde Buddha replied.

“Please.” Yi Tianxing smiled: “Master, don’t fool me with the answers of these money-swindling monks to fool the world. Those monks can’t answer, so they just talk nonsense. It’s just a way to tempt people not to think about it.”

Zhantan Gongde Buddha smiled slightly and said no more.

Yi Tianxing suddenly found that he likes to talk to Shigong on this lonely planet, because it doesn’t take much effort to talk to Shigong, and he can understand what he means conveniently.

Zhan Tan Gongde Buddha added: “The Buddha can not only transcend time, but also transcend space. Our world has naturally differentiated into many spaces since its birth. The human world is one of them, and the ghost world is another. , the heaven is one of them, and there are many small spaces in the big space. People with great supernatural powers can forcibly break through the barriers of these spaces. And the Buddha went one step further, he can break through the barriers of the entire world and enter another world. world.”

Yi Tianxing frowned: “Master said so, but I have some doubts about my initial judgment. How can we confirm that the Buddha is really gone and not go to another world that we will never be able to reach, but just never come back?”

Zhan Tan Gongde Buddha said quietly: “If the Buddha never comes back, what is the difference between it and the real death?”

“Yes, there is such a saying in physics.”

Yi Tianxing went on to say: “Okay, let me try to clarify the thoughts of the Buddha. He is above time, he is above space, he doesn’t know why he came, he doesn’t know where he is going, and the eternal life has made great achievements. I wish to save all sentient beings and become a Buddha. What are the benefits of being a Buddha? Get rid of the suffering of samsara, and go through thousands of kalpas like an instant.”

He paused, and then said that he hadn’t told anyone about it, and he had been bored in his heart: “So, the Buddha came to the end and found that he didn’t know how many years he had done wrong.”

“How wrong?” Zhan Tan Gongde Buddha asked quietly.

“Reincarnation is suffering, but its birth is eternal. Becoming a Buddha is not suffering, and Buddha is also eternal. In essence, there is no difference at all.”

“Why is there no difference between reincarnation, pigs and dogs, how painful it is to become a Buddha, eternal and immortal, wouldn’t it be happy?”

Yi Tianxing looked at Master and smiled slightly, knowing that the other party already knew the answer, and replied sincerely: “If an intelligent life really never dies, what can he do in the long river of time? Time is infinite. He who knows everything he knows, sees everything he sees, and understands everything he understands, what else can he do?”

Then he said something very famous.

“What would any life that knows itself to be immortal seek but an end

His voice was getting lower and lower: “The existence of life may be a touch of bitterness. This is what it means. If you want to talk about cause and effect, then the destination of life can only be nothingness. The Buddha just forcibly It’s just shortened the process.”

Zhantan Gongde Buddha laughed: “Unexpectedly, the boy answered the question that I have to participate in for a hundred years, and he will definitely be touched. He just admired: “Unexpectedly, there is great wisdom in the world. ”

“The Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and Manjushri once searched for traces of the Buddha in the Three Realms. Since they haven’t found it, wouldn’t they have noticed a trace of the possibility of the Buddha’s true extinction?”

“I’m afraid that anyone who has such thoughts in his heart will be crushed into light smoke by the supreme supernatural powers of these two great Bodhisattvas.” Zhantan Gongde Buddha paused and said: “Besides, Puxian Bodhisattva may still think that the Buddha is the next generation. He has been robbed and is still waiting for the day when he will be reborn.”

After solving the problem of the Buddha’s whereabouts, Yi Tianxing sighed, feeling a little lost in his heart. From Manjushri entrusting dreams to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva’s empowerment, these two great Bodhisattvas pinned their hopes of finding the whereabouts of the Buddha on themselves. And now that I have found the answer, can the other party accept it?

He shook his head vigorously, gritted his teeth and pushed out the thoughts that made him feel insignificant.

The mystery of the whole matter has finally been unveiled until now. Although the core of the matter has been known by Yi Tianxing, many things wrapped outside still make him a little puzzled, and asked: “I understand , in order to cover up the news of the Buddha’s suicide, and to fear that the master would go to heaven again, so the master is trapped here. The disciples just don’t understand why the Western Pure Land Sect suppresses the Mount Sumeru people so much.”

This is a question that has been lingering in his mind all the time. How can a person who has cultivated to the position of Bodhisattva be as obsessed as Mahasthamaprapta, and how can he still stay in the realm of Mahastrapta Bodhisattva? It has always been believed that killing Samantabhadra, killing Manjusri, killing Arhats, and luring Meiling’s blood to transform Arhats into Buddhist surnamesAll evil deeds are good deeds.

Amitabha, what a strange logic.

Zhan Tan Gongde Buddha did not directly answer his question, after thinking for a while, he asked quietly: “Boy, what do you think Buddha means?”

Yi Tianxing sat cross-legged on the ground, resting his jaw on his hand, very distressed, and answered after a long time: “It should be the teacher of us people.”

“us people”

“Mt. Sumeru.”

“What about the Medicine Buddha?” Zhantan Gongde Buddha smiled and said, “Actually, you are right. The Buddha is our teacher. This teacher has been leading many people on the road to practice, and these people are not only Just you and me.”

Yi Tianxing nodded when he remembered that Medicine Master Buddha practiced in the practice of Lightning Tathagata.

“That’s why the Buddha’s enlightenment must be transmitted to the hearts of thousands of believers in the world through the words of our disciples. The reason why Amitabha Buddha ordered Mahasthamaprapta to cross the three realms and hunt down the people on Mount Sumeru for five hundred years is to stop the Buddha What is enlightened is passed on to the human world.”

“Why?” Yi Tianxing opened his eyes wide and said: “I understand that the fact that the Buddha committed suicide will have a great impact on the believers in the world, but these are things that are layered after all. Amitabha can use a more gentle way To control, for example, tell the believers all over the world that the Buddha has gone to Nirvana, went to sleep, and went to fight aliens in another universe. hit so hard”

Chantan Gongde Buddha shook his head and said: “If you can hide it from the world, can you hide it from the two great Bodhisattvas, Puxian and Manjusri?”

“If you can’t hide it, then don’t hide it. I’ve seen Pu Xian, that guy, tsk tsk.” Yi Tianxing threw himself into the five bodies in admiration, “It’s really stubborn. He lived in the Tashilhunpo Monastery on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for five hundred years. Just to wait for me, it is estimated that he will spread the news of Buddha’s suicide in a very devout way. But Manjusri plays with me every day, so he should not be such a fanatic.”

Zhan Tan Gongde Buddha smiled and said: “Psalmant Bodhisattva is the first in the practice, so he is naturally persevering and diligent. Manjusri Bodhisattva is the first in wisdom, so he should be able to distinguish the importance. But it is extremely unpredictable when it comes to the will of the Buddha.”

“So what if I say it?” Yi Tianxing scratched his head, still not understanding, even if Puxian Bodhisattva and Manjusri Bodhisattva could not find the Buddha, but found the truth about the Buddha’s suicide, and spread the truth to the public, what would happen? question.

Although he bears the name of the protector of Buddhism in the world, he has never been a very devout believer.

“When my Buddha enlightened the world, what is the meaning of the non-religious biography?”

“The pain of reincarnation.”

“How to get rid of the suffering of samsara”

“Doing good” Yi Tianxing was stunned, and found that his Dharma cultivation was not good enough, so he corrected himself: “You can only have a good pregnancy in the next life. If you want to really get rid of the suffering of reincarnation, you must cultivate to become an arhat.”

“What about after attaining Arhatship?”

“Becoming a Bodhisattva.”

“After the Bodhisattva”

“Great Bodhisattva.”

“What about after the Great Bodhisattva?”

“Becoming a Buddha.” Yi Tianxing said dejectedly, this kind of endless push, in the end, he could only fall into a dead end.

Chantan Gongde Buddha sighed, and said: “In the orchard, the Buddha told him these words. I was listening, and I knew that there would be such a situation today.” The firmness of the heart is all because of knowing the result step by step. If everyone knows that the so-called cultivation of the Buddha, until the end, the cultivation of the one who is the only one in heaven and earth, is still nothing but the fruit of extinction, then this”

His voice trembled slightly, and he couldn’t speak.

Yi Tianxing sighed: “It’s just that no one is practicing Buddhism. If people’s hearts are scattered, it’s no big deal.” He said it easily, but like a mirror in his heart, the truth that the Buddha finally realized completely subverted the foundation of Buddhism. The meritorious Buddha said with a trembling voice: “No one cultivates the Buddha, so what is the need for the existence of the Buddha Land? If people rise up and follow suit, then Mount Sumeru, the Western Pure Land, the Eastern Pure Land, and the Heaven above all will eventually become lifeless.”

Yi Tianxing thumped in his heart, thinking of the quiet and deadly land he saw when he just entered the heaven, and then thinking of Sanqing’s so-called retreat, but he never appeared. Could it be that Sanqing also learned from Buddha to play jumping off the building?

But Yi Tianxing thought about it and found that there must be a lot of content behind the whole thing. Although Shigong was one of the parties involved back then, after all, he has been trapped for five hundred years, and he is not fully aware of the changes in the past five hundred years.

Let’s not talk about other things, just talk about Erlang God’s strange rebellion, Emperor Zhenwu’s sudden rebellion, Jade Emperor’s sudden hand in hand with Pure Land, these are things that are unclear.

Erlang God was born brave, so he may have been a real traitor, but the question is, where did he turn?

Emperor Zhenwu was able to take charge of the Lagerstroemia in the North Pole and become the de facto No. 2 person in the heaven. Although she must have been of great help behind her back, she must also have the power of the Jade Emperor. Why did he rebel? His purpose of rebellion was really just as he said So, do you want to wake up the Jade Emperor from the illusion of the pure land?

The Buddha could really give up these sentient beings and go away quietly without taking a trace of cloud

Of course, the most important thing is that she.That compassionate face that often overlooks Yi Tianxing in the clouds, the one who threw Yi Tianxing from the sky to the world.

what is she thinking and doing
