In the Mahavira Hall, a young novice monk sat cross-legged on a futon with a solemn appearance. He was particularly ethereal and transcendent, just like a true Buddha sitting there.
"Amitabha."
He recited the Buddha's name, and the Buddha nature flowed through his body. He was really not a simple man, but he already had the power of a great Buddha at the age of seven or eight.
"I am the Nine-Deng Ancient Buddha from the ancient years."
He spoke.
"Nine-Deng Ancient Buddha? You dare to say that more than me!"
The corner of Dade's mouth twitched and he said: "If you talk like this, I will still say that I am Amitabha!"
He is called the reincarnated Buddha, but he dare not say that he is the reincarnation of the Nine-Deng Ancient Buddha.
Good guy, the Nine-Deng Ancient Buddha is an extremely bright and glorious ancient Buddha in Buddhism. His achievements are second only to Amitabha Buddha!
The young novice monk chuckled and said, "You may not be able to become Amitabha Buddha."
"What's the meaning?"
The great virtue frowned, this little novice monk looked weird all over his body.
Especially the words he said were a bit scary, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"You and I are one body. When you and I merge together, I will restore my whole body. At that time, I will shine brightly again and rebuild my glory."
The little novice monk chuckled and said, "I will become the Amitabha Buddha of this world, or even surpass Amitabha Buddha."
"What do you mean you and I are one? Please explain it clearly to me!"
The great virtue stared at the little novice monk, feeling a very bad feeling in his heart.
"We in Buddhism talk about the afterlife. The causes sown in this life will be the fruits in the next life."
The little novice monk said: "But, has the afterlife ever reappeared? The afterlife is all our extravagant imagination and the goal we strive for."
He continued: "The path to immortality is hard to find and it is difficult to stay forever. If there really is an afterlife, wouldn't we be able to rebuild it one life after another? In this case, there is no such thing as the saying that the path to immortality is hard to find and it is difficult to stay forever..."
After listening to what the little novice monk said, the great virtue's expression became even weirder.
He stared at the little novice monk and said, "Aren't you funny? Are you subverting Amitabha's thoughts? You are indeed more unreliable than me!"
The cause in this life will be the result in the next life.
This is what Amitabha proposed.
Buddhism firmly believes in an afterlife.
It’s just that the fruits of the next life haven’t bloomed yet.
Even if he no longer abides by the Buddhist precepts, he would not dare to be presumptuous on this point. This is a great disrespect to Amitabha!
"Subversive thinking?"
The little novice monk said: "Not really, I am just stating a fact. The afterlife is a great wish made by Amitabha Buddha. He hopes that all living beings will have an afterlife and inherit the causes of the previous life."
Later, he continued: "Amitabha is truly a great man of the generation. Buddhism can achieve such achievements all because of Amitabha."
He looked at the great sage and said, "Do you know why Buddhism is so united and unified? How can there be a practice sect like Buddhism in the world, where all living beings believe in Buddhism and do not practice other methods."
The great master said nothing and continued to listen to the little novice monk's talk.
Although he has been in Buddhism since he was a child and has a high status, he really doesn't know how Buddhism can be so unified. The entire Buddhist land practices Buddhism and does not practice other methods.
"That's because practicing Buddhism is different from practicing other methods."
The young novice monk said: "Practice Buddhism and all living beings will benefit. Even ordinary people who do not have the qualifications to practice Buddhism will receive great benefits. They can prolong life, maintain good health, and have fewer disasters and more blessings."
Dade thought for a moment and took it seriously.
There are few disasters in the Buddha Land, and all living beings are safe and healthy. Compared with the Wasteland and the Yin Land, the Buddha Land is more like an extraterrestrial pure land.
“This is the greatness and extraordinaryness of Amitabha!”
The little novice monk showed admiration and said: "Amitabha created the power of faith, and those who believe in Buddhism will develop this power of faith. The power of faith is mutual, and those who believe in Buddhism can also benefit greatly from it."
"The power of faith?"
Dade frowned, it was the first time he heard this word.
"Everyone can benefit greatly from the power of faith, let alone monks. Monks benefit even more. They can speed up their practice and become more enlightened. After reaching a higher realm and becoming a person of faith, they will gain There’s more to it!”
The little novice monk said: "This is why many monks who practice other methods are willing to switch to Buddhism."
He continued: "Buddhism is selfless and benefits everyone. In order to become people who are believed in and gain more benefits from the power of faith, these people will often do good deeds and gain the faith of others. This undoubtedly becomes a kind of benign behavior." The cycle makes Buddhism more and more unified, and more and more people believe in Buddhism."
This is so!
After hearing what the little novice monk said, the great master finally understood why Buddhism is so unified.
The power of faith benefits both parties. This is truly a virtuous circle. Amitabha is indeed a great man of the generation and deserves to be respected.
But, what does this have to do with him?
"You are talking about the afterlife and the power of faith. What exactly do you want to say?"
The great virtue looked at the little novice monk and said.
"What I want to tell you is that I succeeded. I discovered all the wonderful features of the power of faith, and was able to achieve true nirvana. I was reincarnated in one life after another, and I had the next life!"
The little novice monk looked at the great virtuous man and said, "You and I are one and the fruit of the next life!"
"From reincarnation after reincarnation in the ancient years to now!?"
The great master took a breath of air. If this is true, the little novice monk in front of him is really outrageous!
The ancient times are so long, there are two whole eras in between!
Behind the ancient era is the ancient era, the ancient era!
In particular, if the little novice monk is really the Nine-Deng Ancient Buddha, it will be more than just two eras!
The Nine-Deng Ancient Buddha is a figure from the early ancient times.
This can be regarded as spanning three eras!
Three eras!
He didn't even dare to think about it!
How long an era lasts! ?
Even if the supreme emperor takes the ten legendary imperial medicines and extends his lifespan for six lifetimes, he will only live for one-third of the lifetime!
Is this the horror of the power of faith?
His scalp was numbing violently!
"Unfortunately, the power of faith is too profound and vast. Although I was reincarnated in Nirvana, I still have very big flaws. In the Nirvana reincarnations from life to life, I did not awaken the memory of my previous life and achieve true reunification."
The little novice monk looked at the great virtuous man and said, "It wasn't until this life that I realized true unity. All the experiences in my previous life returned and I was able to wake up."
He went on to say: "Only after I returned did I realize that something was wrong. I had a thought of being separated from myself and living together in this life after life! This was an evil thought in my heart."
"What do you mean? That thought that I am you?"
Da De didn't want to believe that he was not himself, but... someone else?
Or even evil thoughts? ? ?
"Everyone has two sides, one facing good and one facing evil. I never thought that the two thoughts would be separated in Nirvana and reincarnation."
The little novice monk said: "Everything has cause and effect, and everything is manifest. You and I appear together in this life of Buddhism. This is a manifesto, and it is a clear sign that true unity will be realized!"
Immediately afterwards, the Buddha's light all over his body surged, and the vision of the Buddha's kingdom reappeared behind him.
"Although you are my evil thoughts, you are also an inseparable part of me. Now everything is clear, come back!"
He shouted loudly that he wanted the great virtue to return.
