The Monk

Chapter 1500: Buddha

So Zhang was afraid that he would directly tell the purpose of his trip. Hearing his confession, the Buddha's face changed slightly, and he continued: "Fellow Taoist comes from the upper realm, from the upper realm. Well, can you tell me how the upper and lower realms are divided?"

The Buddha is so cool that he always calls himself me in front of people coming from the upper world, but instead calls Zhang Ai as fellow Taoist, which shows how big his heart is.

Hearing this question, Zhang Wen looked at the Buddha and the two monks beside him thoughtfully. After thinking for a while, he didn't want to talk nonsense anymore and asked directly: "Just tell me what you want to do?" After hearing this, the Buddha , Hehe smiled, his smile was broad and upright, full of compassion, but Zhang Weijie noticed something wrong in it, as if he had some agenda.

This discovery made Zhang afraid completely confused. What on earth did the great monk want to do?

To put it bluntly, although Buddhism is said to be independent of the world and spread benevolence, in the final analysis, it still requires something. When speaking in a big way, what you seek is for the unity of the world and everyone in the world to be kind; when speaking in a small way, what you seek is for the advancement of the Dharma and your own accomplishments. These two requests are normal and cannot be considered as having any intentions. So what is the great monk trying to achieve?

Unfortunately, Zhang Ai asked directly, but the Buddha did not answer directly. Instead, he asked him: "Do you practice Tao?" Zhang Ai nodded and said, "Yes." The Buddha asked again: "There are countless stars in the world, so there are countless As a cultivator, I would like to ask, are there people from the Buddhist sect in the upper realm?" Zhang Ai shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Fellow Taoist, are you not clear? Or are you unwilling to answer this question?" the Buddha continued to ask.

Zhang was afraid of being annoyed by the question, so he said casually: "Whatever you think, I will tell you one thing when I get here. I am willing to kill people and don't mess with Xingkong."

After hearing this, the Buddha shook his head slightly and said in a low voice: "I am sorry that I cannot agree to what fellow Taoist said."

Zhang Wen laughed when he heard this, shook his head and asked: "Speak directly, what do you want to do?" The Buddha thought for a moment and said: "Buddhism seeks equality for all living beings, and you are above Buddhism, so you should be Something is wrong."

Hearing these words, Zhang Pingwei snorted helplessly. He knew what the great monk wanted to do. If his guess is correct, the great monk wants to control the entire Buddha Realm and ascend to the same status as the God Realm, becoming an equal place.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wen was not only helpless, but also admired Shizun's great idea. What kind of brain does it take to come up with this idea and have the courage to implement it. There’s just one thing: can one really ascend to the Buddha’s realm? Where can he go without being controlled by the starry sky? And what is outside the realm of gods that I live in? There are thirty-three days in the God Realm, and I have never seen even the first level of the sky. Who knows what the thirty-three days are like, and what it is like above the thirty-three days?

Because of one of the great ideas of the Buddha, Zhang Ping followed his thoughts and suddenly discovered that living is actually about constantly questioning and questioning, constantly contacting unknown things, and constantly exploring and understanding more things. Then he smiled helplessly and sighed: "You should be older than me, so I'll call you big brother and let's stop making trouble, okay?"

Cultivators are respected by their strength. Only those who are afraid of this virtue will talk nonsense and call everyone brother. It's just that a deity from the upper realm and a great monk who just met from the lower realm are called big brother. No one will believe it if he tells it. Even Shizun was a little surprised and whispered: "I didn't make a fuss."

"You're not making a fuss? Well, you're not making a fuss. Let me ask you, if you succeed in making the Buddha Realm separate from the countless starry sky and become a separate place, standing side by side with my upper realm, what if there is another one in the upper realm? What to do in the upper realm? Are you still struggling to reach the Buddha realm? I don’t even ask whether your whims will succeed this time, just your thoughts. Alas, it’s really weird.”

What he said was very good and correct. Unfortunately, the Buddha did not listen and whispered: "I have thought about these things. If there is an upper realm above the upper realm, or even an upper realm, I will Then I will continue to ascend with more than 100,000 great Buddhists, and I will always stand at the highest peak beyond all the ages."

After talking just now, Zhang Ping already knew that the Buddha was unwilling to submit to others. He believed that Buddhism was one of the great traditions in the world and could not fall behind any other orthodoxy, so he spent a lot of effort to struggle out of the starry sky controlled by Xingyuan. But I didn't expect that the Buddha really had a big idea, and he would go through endless troubles just because he didn't want to be inferior to others.

Then he chuckled and said: "You are really thoughtful, but your thoughts after thinking must be correct? Listen to me, don't bother, you must spread your kindness and save all sentient beings, there are countless people in the starry sky, etc." I want you to go rescue me and don’t bother with these illusory things here.”

His earnest persuasion was of no use to the Buddha. The great monk smiled and said: "It's illusory? Dare I ask my friend, before you reached this level of cultivation, did you feel that the upper world was also illusory?"

Hearing this question, Zhang Ao chuckled and said: "I guess you will be disappointed. Before coming to the God Realm, what I thought about every day was how to avoid coming up. As for whether the God Realm is illusory, I have never thought about it."

This answer is very surprising. Even the Buddha, who has been practicing Buddhism for a long time and has cultivated the immortal Buddha body, did not expect Zhang Wen to say this. In his opinion, all practitioners, especially high-level practitioners, must be extremely diligent. Progress. If a person strives to make progress, he will naturally yearn for the divine world. How could Zhang Ai be an exception?

You must be diligent in practicing this thing! Talent is a prerequisite, and diligence is the main factor that determines whether you can succeed in cultivation. Of course, the more important reason is luck. Zhang Ain has personally verified this many times. From the time he obtained the Fushen Snake egg, he His life is full of sunshine. Although he will encounter ups and downs occasionally, after the ups and downs, a bright road will appear in front of him, so that he can cultivate to the divine realm smoothly and even survive such unreasonable and terrifying tribulations. He can survive easily, which shows how lucky this guy is.

But Shizun didn't know the origin of Zhang Awei. He only heard that this guy didn't want to ascend to the divine world, so he was naturally a little surprised. He immediately took another look at Zhang Awei, wanting to see what was going on with this different person coming from the divine realm.

After watching for a moment, and remembering his purpose, the Buddha asked: "What do you think of the strength of the Buddha Realm?"

Zhang Ao nodded and said: "Not bad." Of course it is not bad. In terms of strength alone, Buddha Realm is the strongest among countless stars. Any Buddhist cultivator has to go through countless tribulations, and after years of hard work, he finally achieves success and understands Buddhist principles before he reaches the realm of Buddhahood. In other starry skies, everyone has everyone. There are a lot of masters and low-hands, and they fight when nothing happens. No matter how many masters there are, they can't stand up to fighting every day. There are many masters, and more masters die. Of course, they can't be compared to the Buddha Realm.

Hearing Zhang Wen's recognition of the Buddha's strength, the Buddha continued: "This is the Paradise of Paradise in the West. It is the place where countless Buddhists admire and pursue their lives. Some Buddhas have succeeded in their cultivation and came here to become one of the Buddhas. These Buddhas come from many starry skies. They endured various hardships and tests in their respective starry skies, and then came to the Buddha realm after success. For this reason, I ask my friend, don’t you think the Buddha realm is very similar to the upper realm?”

Zhang Ao nodded and said: "There are some similarities." The Buddha continued: "That's it. As far as I know, there is only one world in the upper world. There is a huge land with mountains, rivers and rivers, and the same is true for the Buddha realm; the upper world is also the same. Each of the gods must achieve something in cultivation and undergo heavenly tribulations before they can become gods. These people come from all starry skies, and the same is true for the Buddha realm. The upper world is different from the starry skies below. Even the cultivation methods are different, and the same is true for the Buddha realm. . I would like to ask my friend, there are so many similarities between the Buddha Realm and the Upper Realm, and there are all super masters in the Buddha Realm. Why should the Buddha Realm be behind the Upper Realm and be controlled by the Upper Realm?"

Having said this, he looked at Zhang Ping with calm eyes, suddenly smiled softly and continued: "Buddhism and Taoism are two different traditions. We are responsible for countless Buddhist disciples and cannot leave our destiny to your hands. , we must create our own world and create our own Buddhist realm.”

The big monk spoke in detail. Zhang Ying smiled bitterly when he heard it. He was thinking about one thing. Jie Yin, the big man, and even Qingyin also said that guarding Xingyuan is the most boring and safest job. After thousands of years, He didn't bring anything out, but he had only been in Xingyuan for a year, and he was already rebelling in the Buddhist realm. He didn't know if other Xingkong would join in the fun.

After hearing the words of the Buddha, Zhang Ao smiled bitterly and said: "Great monk, please stop making trouble and create a Buddhist realm? Do you think creating a world is so simple?" As he spoke, he pointed at the desert in the distance and said softly. : "I want a river there." After saying this, a river immediately appeared in the desert, winding with clear water, stretching far to the end of the desert.

Seeing that Zhang was afraid of such a method, the Buddha nodded and said: "This is God's method. We have Buddha's method." After saying this, he put his palms together and whispered the Buddha's mantra. Then he saw golden bricks suddenly appeared in the air, stacked one after another. At one point, a moment later, a golden temple appeared in the air beside the two of them.

Ordinarily, this can be regarded as the ability to create something out of nothing, but Zhang Ai knows that it is not a creation, and compared with his own means, it is completely different. Then he said softly: "You know, this doesn't count."

The Buddha did not argue with him. He raised his hand and pointed to a grassy slope below, and said softly: "Does this count?" As the words fell, a lotus flower suddenly bloomed on the grassy slope, each one shining with bright brilliance. Slowly blooming among the greenery.

Seeing how persistent the Buddha was, Zhang Ain shook his head and said: "These are not counted. You can make flowers and temples. They are just some small means learned from many years of Buddhist practice. They are incapable of creating a world."

The key point of this sentence lies in the last four words. Zhang was afraid of speaking in an amplified tone to the Buddha. The Buddha thought for a while and said: "It won't happen now, but that doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. Just like building a temple to produce white lotus, it will happen now, but it won't happen in the beginning."

Zhang Ping said: "You are right to say that. Unfortunately, the world above and below, the universe outside of you, and the stars and universe all have their own rules. If you violate them, you will be destroyed. If you don't have the ability to change the world, don't change it easily. Touching this boundary, in other words, even at this time, you, the Ten Thousand Buddhas, use the supreme Dharma to free the Buddha realm from the control of the laws of the starry sky, but do you have the power to support a world?
