He came to Hualin Garden and sat under the Longhua tree.
The trunk of the Longhua tree is as vigorous as a horned dragon, with lush flowers and leaves, like a huge umbrella.
The Buddhas accompanied Maitreya to the ashram. He became a monk in the morning and achieved Anuttarasamyaksambodhi on the first night of the day, attaining enlightenment and becoming a Buddha!
When Maitreya became a Buddha, the goddess scattered flowers to make offerings, the heavenly music played without drums, and the six sides of the world shook.
The Buddha's light emanating from Maitreya illuminates the earth, turning the dark night into a bright day.
At this time, all the heavenly kings came down from the heavenly palace and came to Hualin Garden. They knelt down and saluted Maitreya Buddha, put their palms together and asked him to speak the Dharma to all living beings.
Maitreya Buddha said to all the heavenly kings: "I have suffered great suffering for countless kalpas and practiced the six salvations and ten thousand practices before reaching perfection today. I should turn the Eightfold Noble Wheel of Path like all the Buddhas of the three generations and teach the Dharma to you all. However, the Buddha's Dharma has no The supreme cessation of non-action is so profound that it is hard to find, hard to enter, hard to believe, and hard to understand.”
As soon as Maitreya Buddha finished speaking, hundreds of thousands of billions of emperors and maidens in other worlds held smallpox and dedicated it to Maitreya Buddha. They circled the Buddha thousands of times, bowed to the ground, put their palms together and prayed: "I only hope that the World Honored One will be able to perform profound and subtle transformations in order to save all sentient beings from suffering."
Lord Maitreya smiled slightly and emitted five-colored auspicious light.
King Rangju was extremely excited. Surrounded respectfully by his 84,000 subjects, he asked Maitreya Buddha to become a monk.
Maitreya Buddha silently agreed.
So, they dropped their beards, put on their cassocks, and became ascetics.
Maitreya Buddha immediately began to preach: namely, the Four Noble Truths: the truth of suffering, the truth of origin, the truth of cessation, and the truth of path. He also lectured on the thirty-seven qualities and the twelve causes and conditions for everyone.
When Maitreya Buddha spoke the Dharma, the earth shook in six ways, and the sound of the Dharma spread throughout the three thousand worlds. It was like dew falling from the sky, and all flowers, plants and trees were nourished.
Therefore, many people bowed under the throne of Maitreya Buddha and became monks and practiced Buddhism.
Maitreya Buddha said to the crowd with great compassion: "You can become a monk under my seat today because you planted good roots in the Dharma era of Sakyamuni. At that time, Sakyamuni Buddha came out of the evil world of five turbidities. I preach the Dharma diligently for you, so you have the opportunity to meet me and gain my acceptance. In the past, you either read and recited Buddhist scriptures and explained them to others; Fast, practice loving-kindness, and help suffering sentient beings; or observe precepts, endure humiliation, practice wisdom, and meditate... In short, you will be reborn in my place with the merits of listening to and practicing the Buddha's teachings."
Maitreya Buddha paused for a moment and sincerely praised him and said: "Sakyamuni Buddha, in the evil world of five turbidities, he can teach hundreds of thousands of billions of living beings like you, so that you can cultivate the roots of good deeds and be reborn in my place. It is really rare! Namo! My master, Sakyamuni Buddha! Namo, my master, Sakyamuni Buddha! Namo, my master, Sakyamuni Buddha!"
Then Maitreya Buddha praised the crowd and said: "It's so good. You are able to practice Buddhism and do various merits in that difficult and difficult era. It is amazing. You have not let down Sakyamuni Buddha. Therefore, he is sincere with great compassion." Tell me to come and save you."
The great teacher Maitreya Buddha, with his vast supernatural power, guides everyone to recall the painful events of the past, allowing everyone to realize that the five impure desires are the root of all suffering; all dharmas are impermanent, and suffering is empty and selfless...
The next day, people from the cities and villages near the capital came after hearing the news and gathered in Hualin Garden under the Longhua tree. Lord Maitreya reiterated the Four Noble Truths and the Twelve Causes and Conditions for them.
As a result, 9.4 billion of them have achieved Arahantship, and 6.4 billion have developed bodhicitta and will never turn back.
After people from afar arrived one after another, Maitreya Buddha held the third sermon conference, and 9.2 billion people became Arhats and 3.4 billion people developed bodhicitta.
After finishing his sermon, Maitreya Buddha led his disciples into the final city of Winged Head to beg for food. When entering the city, Maitreya Buddha showed eighteen kinds of supernatural powers: water came out from his body like Mani beads, turning into ten thousand rays of light that shined in all directions; fire came out from his body, shining like purple gold...
Maitreya Buddha appears with all kinds of immeasurable divine power, liberating everyone who has the chance to see it.
Then, each of the heavenly kings took off their necklaces and heavenly clothes and scattered them into the air. These heavenly clothes turned into flower canopies and held up a big umbrella for Maitreya Buddha.
At the same time, heavenly music plays without drums, flying sky dances and sings, flowers are like rain, and smoke is like clouds...
After the Lord Maitreya finished his begging, he returned to Hualin Garden with his disciples, sat cross-legged, and meditated deeply. For seven days and seven nights, he remained completely still.
Maitreya Buddha and his disciples looked solemn and peaceful, holy and kind.
When people see them, they feel yearning.
After Maitreya Buddha and his disciples completed their practice of meditation, they all headed to the mountainous area of Juejue.
As they hiked to the top of Jizu Mountain, the mountains roared with cheers. Maitreya Buddha struck the cliff with his palm, and the hard rock cracked -
A small figure sat there with his legs crossed. He is Kassapa.
At this time, a heavenly king held heavenly fragrant oil and poured it on the top of Mahakasyapa's head. Then he beat the arrow spine (bronze bell) beside him and blew powerful magic power.
Mahakasyapa, who had been sitting in meditation for 5.67 billion years, awakened from the state of annihilation. He straightened out his clothes, exposed his right shoulder, knelt on his right knee, and presented Sakyamuni Buddha's cassock to Maitreya with both hands.
He smiled and said slowly: "Back then, when Master Sakyamuni Buddha was approaching Nirvana, he entrusted me with this robe that symbolizes the bloodline of the Buddha, and asked me to teach it to you, the current World Honored One."
At this time, those who followed Maitreya Buddha said: "This little man looks like a human-headed insect. He is short and ugly, but he is wearing monk's clothes."
Maitreya Buddha scolded them and said: "Although the peacock is beautiful, it is food in the mouth of the eagle; the white elephant is so powerful that it trembles with fear when it hears the lion's roar; although a person is dressed in bright and clean clothes, his body is filthy. Although this person is short, His wisdom reaches the heavens and he has attained the holy status. He became a monk under the throne of Sakyamuni Buddha. Among all his disciples, he ranks first in the practice of shutu. He spreads the Buddha's heart seal and lives in the world for the Dharma. This is Maha Kasyapa. !”
Maitreya Buddha put on the gold-threaded cassock taught by Sakyamuni Buddha and told Mahakasyapa: "You can show your supernatural powers and speak about all the sutras of past Buddhas."
Then Mahakasyapa jumped up and made eighteen changes in the air:
One moment, his body expanded infinitely, filling the void, and the next moment, it was as small as a grass seed; he walked on the ground like water, walked on water like the ground, and sat in the air without falling;
Sometimes, he appears from the eastern sky and disappears from the western sky;
Sometimes, he flies up in front of everyone until he ascends into the vast sky...
Kasyapa waved his right hand, forming a glass niche in the air, in which he lectured on the twelve sutras of Sakyamuni Buddha...
When the public saw this, they were amazed.
As a result, eight billion people have become far away from the world.
When Kasyapa was teaching the Dharma, he attained the fruit of Arhat, and countless people initiated Bodhicitta.
Kasyapa circled Maitreya Buddha three times in the air, then came down from the air, saluted Maitreya Buddha, and said: "All conditioned dharmas are impermanent."
Immediately, he bid farewell to Maitreya Buddha and retreated to the cave of Jizu Mountain. Fire automatically emerged from his body and he entered Nirvana...
Maitreya Buddha began to preach the Dharma throughout the world and save all sentient beings.
When he preaches the Dharma, no matter how large the audience is, whether they are sitting or standing, close or far away, everyone will feel that he is standing in front of them, preaching the sermon for themselves alone.
The Kingdom of Maitreya Buddha is infinitely beautiful, Maitreya Buddha lives for a very long time, and countless sentient beings are liberated...
