Is Buddhism really unprepared?
Buddhism's attitude towards Lu Bu is generally divided into two groups. It is true that Saint Zhunti and Saint Houtu have concluded a contract, but Saint Jieyin and Saint Houtu have no agreement. For the sake of the human book and the road to reincarnation, Buddhism did two things for Lu Bu. The first was to acquiesce in Lu Bu's original soul mark and be reborn with the help of the body of the six-winged golden cicada. The second was, He found the best teacher in the three realms, Patriarch Bodhi, and taught Lu Bu for twenty-three years.
In other words, apart from not being able to take direct action against Lu Bu, Buddhism basically owes Lu Bu nothing. Even if Saint Houtu comes out of the dark room, he can still explain it to him.
However, it doesn't matter to Lu Bu, but Jin Chanzi, as the real Buddhist scripture learner, is crucial to Buddhism!
As far as Tathagata Buddha is concerned, Tathagata has only cultivated a six-foot-long golden body. He has the strongest golden body at the level of Daluo Jinxian, but he has not yet fully condensed the Daluo Jinxian Yuan Shen Dao Fruit. The Tathagata's spiritual path and fruition is still short of the last step, and this step falls on traveling westward to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
For Buddhism itself, Buddhism is booming, and Buddhism has finally ushered in its heyday when it is most favored by the fate of heaven and earth. If something unexpected happens during the pilgrimage to the West, it will affect all the Bodhisattvas and Arhats in Buddhism, which is not nice to say. Yes, practicing without merit and blessing is useless.
Therefore, anyone in the Buddhist scriptures team can die, except Jin Chanzi. Who would believe such an important Tang Xuanzang if Buddhism didn't use any means of protection on Jin Chanzi?
The fact is indeed the case. Buddhism did exert a back-up hand on Jin Chanzi to prevent the mad woman Saint Nuwa from jumping over the wall and destroying Buddhism's eternal foundation. However, Buddhism has not been able to inspire this backhand, so that the current scene has emerged. Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing look like we have no master and we are going to break up...
Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and even Guanyin Bodhisattva have actually reached the basic state long ago, but they have always stayed in the realm of Daluo Celestial Immortal and cannot return to Daluo Golden Immortal. The crux of the problem still lies in Buddhism’s luck and merit. This is the consequence you must bear if you choose Buddhist practice. When you have enough merit, you can break through the realm at any time. When you have insufficient merit, you can be stuck in this realm for your whole life, unable to make any progress.
Therefore, no one cares more about the life and death of Buddhist scripture collectors than Guanyin, Manjusri, and Samantabhadra. If they had not confirmed from the beginning that the Buddhist scripture collectors would be fine, they would never have let Mother Lishan go. In this regard, there is a saying that goes well: Those who prevent people from becoming enlightened are like murdering their parents.
It can be seen that Manjusri, Samantabhadra and Guanyin are still very patient. They obviously know some unknown secrets!
"Buddha!"
"Buddha!"
...
After the fight, here we come. Being late, this is very Buddha. The last time, Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace was almost coming to an end, and the Buddha only appeared at the last moment. This time, of course, there will be no exception. Mother Lishan was 'temporarily' killed by Lu Bu's True Sun Fire, and Lu Bu was also 'temporarily' killed by the Soul-Eating Needle.
Yes, 'temporarily'.
Whether it is for Mother Lishan or Lu Bu, their respective deaths are only temporary. There is no need to say more about Old Mother Lishan. As long as Saint Nuwa survives and spends a little time and some precious materials and treasures, Old Mother Lishan will be resurrected sooner or later. Lu Bu's situation here is a little more troublesome. After all, Lu Bu's Sun atoms have not been left alive, and it is no longer possible to rely on atoms to resurrect. Of course, Lu Bu won't die, unless Saint Zhunti or some other saint cracks the reincarnation cycle of Saint Houtu, or someone can kill the empress in the underworld.
The three Bodhisattvas all expressed their respect to Tathagata Buddha. The monkey was eager to try, and the scars healed and forgot the pain. The monkey always felt that Tathagata could not do anything to him. Zhu Bajie acted as if he had not seen Tathagata Buddha. , immersed in the grief of losing his master, he became enlightened and bowed respectfully to the Buddha.
The Tathagata came here today not for any one of them: Sun Wukong, Zhu Wuneng, and Sha Wujing. Naturally, these three people have problems, but their problems can be put aside completely later.
The Tathagata stretched out his right hand, and this palm is the famous Buddha's Kingdom in the Palm. The six-winged golden cicada's physical body can be said to be the most precious treasure of Buddhism. When the Tathagata was in Lingshan, the six-winged golden cicada's fleshy shell was in Lingshan. When the Tathagata left Lingshan, the body of the six-winged golden cicada was in the Buddha's kingdom in the palm of his hand. Within the Buddha's Kingdom in the palm of your hand, you can vaguely hear the mighty Buddha's voice. Outside the Buddha's Kingdom in your palm, you can vaguely hear the pattering of the Buddha's rain...
This is? This turned out to be glazed pure water, also known as the Eight Treasures Merit Pool. It is a sacred object of Buddhism. It is not innate, but it is far more precious than innate. Its essence is that Buddhist saints use supreme means to melt Buddhist luck, merits and devout beliefs. It has countless magical effects and can be said to be the lifeblood of Buddhism.
Buddhism does not cultivate the body. It does not cultivate this life but only concerns about the next life. Buddhism mainly uses spiritual manifestation and illusion creation. However, glass purified water has the power to turn illusion into reality. With just one drop, it can completely realize what is in the heart. When it materializes, it is truly extraordinary.
This is no longer one or two drops, but hundreds of drops and thousands of drops.
In a sense, Xuanzang has already died once, and the soul-eating needle is not child's play. But the wonderful thing about the six-winged golden cicada is that as long as the golden cicada dies outside, it can return to its own body. Today, the reason why Tathagata Buddha came to do this in person was actually to escort the six-winged golden cicada.
As for the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, it is to reshape Xuanzang's physical body and return Xuanzang's physical and spiritual state back to before he died.
So, the question is, there are obviously so many treasures in the world that can reshape the physical body, why do we have to waste the precious and unusual Eight Treasures Merit Pool water?
Merit is a very mysterious and wonderful thing. In the face of merit, all evil and sin have no escape. Lu Bu is dead, but even the saint's mark that leads to the saint cannot be confirmed. Whether Lu Bu's original soul mark returned to the Six-Winged Golden Cicada with the Golden Chanzi, or whether Lu Bu has remained in the Six-Winged Golden Cicada's body from the beginning. A trace of residual soul. Because it is not confirmed, it needs to be verified by the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.
When the glazed water reshapes Xuanzang's body, Xuanzang's physical body and soul will be tested:
Because glazed water is smelted by Buddhist saints using supreme means to melt Buddhist luck, merit and devout beliefs. It is impossible for Xiang Lu Bu, who neither recognizes Buddhism nor Buddhism, to pass the test of glazed water!
...
This is the meaning of Saint Zhunti, and this is also the will of Tathagata Buddha!
The six-winged golden cicada does not allow outsiders to interfere with it, and neither does the seeker allow outsiders to interfere. Not only did Lu Bu do it, but he also infected the Six-Winged Golden Cicada and the Bible Learner all at once. The fact is that Tathagata has wanted to kill Lu Bu for a long time. This time the Four Saints tested the Zen Heart is not an accident at all, but a game specially made for Lu Bu by Tathagata Buddha and Lishan Mother.
However, Saint Jieyin and Saint Nuwa just maintained their tacit understanding as saints:
When Lu Bu died, Jie Yin chose to ignore it.
Similarly, the old mother Lishan was silenced, and the saint Nuwa also chose to remain silent.
