Who asked him to cultivate immortality!

The corner of Lu Yang's mouth twitched. The story of Kaihuang Temple's fortune was really unexpected.

"Xitian Temple is the orthodox Buddhist country, so it shouldn't kill anyone..."

Master Duanchen stroked his white beard: "Monks don't kill, so the abbot's life should be safe. It's hard to say how he will be treated besides his life. Our Kaihuang Temple has no connection with Xitian Temple, and we can't find out the whereabouts of the abbot." "

"After that abbot disappeared, the size of Kaihuang Temple has not changed, and there is no ambition."

"After the poor monk became the abbot, he made a great wish to make Kaihuang Temple prosperous and have an average annual passenger flow of 10 million."

"In order to fulfill his great ambition, the poor monk worked hard to find ways to expand the popularity of Kaihuang Temple, make Kaihuang City comparable to large cities, and make the lives of the people in the city better."

"...Master, the ambition you have made is quite detailed."

"It's natural. The two donors must have never been to our Buddhist country. I don't know how we made great wishes. The great wishes made by our Buddhist country have always been very accurate. If we only make a wish of 'prosperity of incense', How should the judgment standards be determined?”

"What counts as a prosperous incense? One day, a million donors suddenly came. Does it count as a prosperous incense? A donor buys the entire temple's incense for a year does it count as a prosperous incense? A fire breaks out in the temple and all the incense is lit. Isn’t it the most popular thing?”

“Until standards are set, ambitions are just words and can never be realized.”

"The master really worked hard to open the Huangsi Temple, which is admirable."

Master Duanchen smiled and said: "Monks don't lie, but the poor monk is not that great. Kaihuang Temple is very prosperous, so being the abbot of the poor monk will naturally bring benefits. He can also fulfill his great ambitions, so why not do it."

As far as Lu Yang knew, 50% of the incense money obtained by each temple belonged to him, 30% was used to build a golden body for the Buddha, and 20% was handed over to Xitian Temple.

Cultivation of immortality is inseparable from the word "wealth". The stronger the incense in Kaihuang Temple, the more spiritual stones Master Duanchen will obtain, which can be used for cultivation.

Originally, Master Duan Chen felt that it was getting late and wanted to take Lu Yang and the two of them to the guest house to rest. However, Lu Yang felt that the opportunity was rare, so he might as well go to the Main Hall to have a look. He had only seen the Main Hall built by the Immortal Fairy in the spiritual space before. In reality, Haven't seen it yet.

Meng Jingzhou had never been to the Main Hall and agreed with Lu Yang's proposal.

Master Duan Chen introduced Lu Yang and the two into the Main Hall. The gold-cast statue of the Great Sun Tathagata was in the center, holding flowers and smiling, showing mercy to others.

It was already night, the main hall was brightly lit, and the Buddha statues reflected the light of candlelight, looking extremely sacred.

"What's so good about the Mahavira Hall? The Mahavira Hall I built for you is the most authentic one." The Immortal Fairy pouted. According to Buddhist scriptures, as the founder of Buddhism, her location is the Mahavira Hall, which is sacred and inviolable.

In the spiritual space, at the end of the desert, a Mahavira Palace rises from the ground, which is even more glorious than the Mahavira Palace in Kaihuang Temple.

In the center of the palace, an immortal fairy wearing vermilion eyeshadow and dressed in the style of the Western Regions stands half-crouched on a lotus platform with one foot, the other foot resting on the thigh, and clasped hands, charming all living beings.

Lu Yang looked at the Mahavira Palace in the spiritual space, and then looked at the Mahavira Palace in reality, and felt that it was more authentic in reality.

"Master, I heard that the Mufo Festival is a festival to celebrate the birth of the World Honored One?" On the way here, Lu Yang studied the origin of the Mufo Festival in detail, so as not to know anything about the Buddha's land and end up like a tourist.

"What Donor Lu said is true. According to legend, in ancient times, the World Honored One could walk when he was born. He stepped on a lotus flower with each foot, pointed one finger to the sky, and the other finger to the earth, saying, 'I am the only one in the sky and the world.'"

"In order to commemorate the birth of the World Honored One, we designate this day as the Buddha's Birthday and hold Buddha-blessing activities."

Meng Jingzhou interjected from the side: "I am the only one in heaven and under heaven. The words of the World Honored One are so domineering."

Master Duanchen laughed and said calmly: "It's not surprising that Benefactor Meng has this misunderstanding. Many people in the world misunderstand this statement and think that the World Honored One is an arrogant person, but this is not the case."

"The deep meaning of 'I' here is the inherent 'Buddha-nature' of every sentient being, which refers to the noumenon everywhere, the inherently perfect and pure 'True Self', which is also the 'eternal self' mentioned in the Nirvana Sutra. "I am happy and pure."

"The Ruiying Sutra says: 'I am the only one who is respected in heaven and on earth. All three realms are suffering, so how can I be happy?' It can be seen that the 'respect' here mainly refers to the great responsibility of relieving the suffering of the common people."

"So the original meaning of this sentence is that the World Honored One shows that he is born with the mission of saving all sentient beings, and that he wants to save all sentient beings from the sea of ​​suffering in life and death. This will also be the case when all sentient beings become Buddhas."

Listening to Master Duanchen quoting scriptures to help him understand this sentence, they were all Buddhist scriptures that he had never heard of. Meng Jingzhou nodded frequently because he had misunderstood the World Honored One.

In the spiritual space, the immortal fairy standing on the lotus platform scratched his head after hearing this.

"Ah? Isn't this what I said after I defeated Ying Tianxian and the four of them? I had an idea and imitated Ying Tianxian's tone?"

"I think these words are quite domineering and can describe my abilities very well, so I asked Ying Tianxian and others to include them when compiling Buddhist scriptures to show that I am the first of the five ancient immortals."

"Does this sentence still have this meaning?"

Meng Jingzhou clasped his hands together: "I didn't expect that the World Honored One cares about the world. I misunderstood the World Honored One."

Master Duanchen smiled slightly: "The Buddha has great wisdom, great perseverance, and great compassion. I wonder if Mr. Meng has heard that when the Buddha was enlightened under the Bodhi tree, the demon Buddha Poxun sent three demon women to flatter and interfere with the Buddha's enlightenment. The Buddha was not disturbed by the demon women. He enlightened in seven days, and his enlightenment was complete and he cultivated great wisdom."

"After the Buddha enlightened, the Buddha's light was thousands of feet long, illuminating the world in all directions. Even the four ancient immortals came to congratulate."

"There is also this matter." Meng Jingzhou had not been exposed to Buddhism before. Now, after listening to Master Duanchen's story about the Buddha's past, he felt that the Buddha was really admirable.

"Speaking of the Bodhi tree, I felt that my cooking skills were great and I wanted to write a "Cooking Encyclopedia" to benefit the world. I wrote this book under the Bodhi tree. Xiaoling, Lianyi, and Qinghe always liked to hang around me, asking me to play with them and disturbing me from writing the book."

"It's strange. I remember that Xiaoling and the other three left for something and shouldn't be there. Is it an illusion or a demon in my heart?"

"Anyway, I was determined and was not disturbed by them. I finally finished the "Cooking Encyclopedia" in seven days."

"Then Jiuchongxian came with several golden crows, which were so bright that they almost burned the book I had just written. Later, Yingtianxian and the other three came to congratulate me one after another. I saw that they were very happy and cried with joy."

Lu Yang watched Meng Jingzhou and Master Duanchen chatting happily, and was considering whether to tell his good brother the truth about the Buddha.
