Ye Chen nodded, followed the little novice monk into the temple, twisted the Buddha's Heart Rosary, and asked: "Is this Buddha's Heart Rosary some kind of special magic weapon?"
The little novice monk said: "Exactly, the Buddha's heart rosary can measure the good and evil of people's hearts. If the donor has any ill intentions towards my ancestor's Buddhist temple, the rosary will have black energy rising up. But now the rosary is filled with golden light, which means that the donor's mind is upright. He has no intention of harming my ancestor’s Buddhist temple.”
Ye Chen said: "That's it."
The young monk took Ye Chen to the square of the Zufo Temple and said, "Donor please, the young monk will leave first." Then he turned and left.
In the square, there were hundreds of monks sitting cross-legged on the ground, surrounding a high platform for sutras. There was an old monk on the high platform, wearing a cassock and a five-pointed Buddhist hat. He was preaching and explaining the Buddha. At that time, flowers were falling from the sky, golden lotuses surged from the ground, and the scene was vast and myriad.
Hundreds of monks under the high platform were all listening attentively, with various expressions on their faces, including the joy of enlightenment, scratching their heads and feeling confused, or frowning and thinking as if they had some enlightenment.
Ye Chen also sat cross-legged and looked at the old monk on the high platform. He saw that the old monk was covered in golden light and had an extraordinary bearing. He must be the abbot of Zufo Temple, Master Cizhao.
Master Cizhao didn't seem to notice Ye Chen's arrival and continued to explain the sutras and theories. The Buddha's teachings became more and more in-depth. But gradually, his expression became sad, his eyes were dull and dim, and he sighed:
"My Buddhist teachings originally originated from Sakyamuni Buddha, but Sakyamuni Buddha is not the source of Buddhist teachings."
"Above Sakyamuni Buddha, there is the great beauty God of the Golden Que Manshu who holds the immeasurable and universal talisman in the sky. The God of Beauty, the Great Heavenly Lord, is the master of the Buddha. He is in charge of the way of compassion, benevolence, compassion, great beauty, perfection, perfection, and the way of perfection in Buddhism. The thoughts of compassion, love, and saving all sentient beings all originate from the perfect way of the God of Beauty, the Great Deity.”
"But the God of Beauty, Great Heavenly Lord, is not the source of Buddhism. She is the daughter of Emperor Yuantian. She was created by Emperor Yuantian's vision for light, compassion, and beauty."
"However, even Emperor Yuantian is not the source of Buddhism. He is the incarnation of Shengshengdao among the six destiny of heaven. Shengshengdao is the law of Tianwai Pillar God and Water Dragon King Li Qingchen. In other words, the source of Buddhism is in Outside the sky, in the body of the pillar god of the sky, the Water Dragon King."
Many monks in the audience nodded after listening to Master Cizhao's words.
A monk said: "Abbott Cizhao, the Water Dragon King is the source of Buddhism. All the teachers and brothers have known it for a long time. After all, the god we worship is none other than the Water Dragon King Li Qingchen. I just don't know why the abbot suddenly showed sadness and sadness?"
Another monk said: "Yes, our ancestral Buddhist temple followed Ling Xiaoyuan's rules and worshiped the Heavenly Ancestor as God. Unfortunately, we did not get the slightest blessing from the Heavenly Ancestor, so we continued to worship the Water Dragon King. Although we have not received any blessings these years. , but occasionally hearing the gospel from heaven is a great blessing for our ancestral Buddhist temple. Why is the abbot so sentimental?"
Ye Chen was shocked when he heard Master Cizhao discussing Taoism with the monks. He remembered the statue of the Panlong Confucian scholar he had just seen outside the temple, and thought to himself: "It turns out that statue is the statue of the Water Dragon King. The Water Dragon King, Is he actually the God of the Heavenly Outer Pillar? He is the god behind the Way of Life!"
One of the two most famous heavenly emperors in Wuwu time and space, Emperor Yuantian, he is the incarnation of the Tao of Life and takes care of the Tianwai Pillar God.
Only then did Ye Chen know that the Pillar God who originally came from the care of the Emperor of Heaven was called Water Dragon King, and his real name was Li Qingchen!
Just listen to Master Cizhao sigh:
"Lao Na lamented that the great road is endless, the Buddha's Dharma is endless, but the way of heaven has an end. Under the framework of the way of heaven, we can't break through the heavens and transcend ourselves for countless generations. If we can't go outside the world, we can't confirm the supreme Dharma. "
"Not to mention the other side of the world, there is the other side of the starry sky, and it is also an existence that we cannot reach. Back then, Sakyamuni Buddha wanted everyone to become a Buddha, so that the whole world could fly to the other side, but even so, he could not go to the other side of the sky. As far as the Pillar God is concerned, we are just a group of ants. The ants are struggling to climb up. Until the end of time and the world returns to ruins, we will not be able to climb to the top of the Pillar God. The avenues are endless but I am poor!"
All the monks in the audience were shocked when they heard Master Cizhao's words, and were infected by his strong emotions. They were immediately saddened and looked at each other in tears.
"Yes, the avenue is endless but I am poor."
"The abbot has great insight. We are just a group of ants, so what's the use of practicing?"
"We are all insects bound by the way of heaven, and all cultivation is a futile struggle."
"The gods of the pillars outside the sky are eternal and immortal, but the existence of human beings is like dreams and bubbles, nothingness, nothingness."
…
Master Cizhao also shed tears, feeling extremely sad.
When Ye Chen saw this, he couldn't help frowning, couldn't help but stand up, and said loudly: "Why are you afraid of the endless avenue, the way of cultivation, every inch you advance will bring you joy!"
These words resounded like thunder, and all the monks in the audience were a little confused. They all turned around and focused their eyes on Ye Chen. They saw that although he was only on the third level of the Jiuding Realm, he spoke loudly and with great momentum. Extraordinary, I couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
On the high platform, Master Cizhao was surprised when he saw Ye Chen. Ye Chen was the only one with hair in the audience, so he looked particularly eye-catching. However, he had just been focusing on preaching and did not notice Ye Chen's hair. arrival.
"This donor is..."
"Buddhism is a Buddhist practice in Chenye. I have met all eminent monks and Master Cizhao."
