The Ten Great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism.
Apart from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva in the underworld, and Maitreya who has already become a Buddha, there is only one left who has not yet taken action.
This time, it was the Great Samadhi Fudo Bodhisattva who took out the Vajrapani Bodhisattva, whose body was half buried.
The big-topped Buddha Bodhisattva is also known as the Immovable King.
He is the Bodhisattva who most practices the Tantric method in Lingshan. He is the first of the five great kings of Tantric Buddhism. Under the instructions of the Great Sun Tathagata, he displays the wrathful form of his two arms and subdues all ghosts, demons and chaotic kings.
"King Ming, please!"
On the road to the West, Fa Haicai once pinched the seal of the Fudo Ming King and borrowed the power of the Ming King to subdue the demon, so he knew very well how powerful the Ming King was.
Now that I am discussing Buddhism with this deity, Fahai is naturally very cautious.
"The poor monk has a sword that can cut away the roots of troubles."
Then, a magic sword appeared in his hand.
"The little monk is trapped in endless karma. I wonder if King Ming can cut him off?"
Fahai naturally knew the origin of King Fudo's magical sword. It was rumored that this sword could cut off all the roots of a person's troubles with just one swing. But Fahai didn't think that this magical sword would have any effect on him.
After all, the roots of my troubles are completely different from those of ordinary sentient beings.
When it comes to firmness of mind, King Fudo is the best in the spiritual mountain. Although he often appears angry, his compassion is unshakable. Moreover, his anger is not directed at sentient beings, but to scare away the evil spirits that are intruding on sentient beings, so that sentient beings will not waver in their good thoughts and bodhicitta on the path of practice.
If you want to make sentient beings firm and unwavering in your beliefs, you must of course lead by example. Otherwise, how can you protect sentient beings?
Ever since the battle between Tongtianhe and the Five Heavenly Demon Ancestors, the fact that the Tripitaka Buddha and the Demon are one body has not been a secret in Lingshan.
Perhaps other Bodhisattvas would pretend not to know the current situation of Tripitaka and turn a blind eye due to various scruples, but King Fudo is worthy of his name. This time he will kill demons in the Mahavira Hall.
"Please take this sword."
"good."
Fahai did not refuse. He even put away the nine-ringed tin staff and clasped his hands in front of his chest, showing no intention of resisting.
Upon seeing this, Fudo Myōngō swung his sword lightly, and a golden Buddha light shot out from the magic sword in his hand and struck into the Tripitaka Spirit Platform.
呲——
As soon as the Buddha's light entered the spiritual platform, it dissipated without causing any ripples.
Everyone present seemed not surprised by this, and King Fudo himself did not show any strange expression because his sword had no effect.
As for the compassionate look on Fudo Myoto's face at this moment, he is not as angry as in the past. That is also because Tripitaka is a Buddhist monk, not a demon heretic. Since he is not conquering demons, what is there to be angry about?
Moreover, Master Tripitaka’s conduct was also admired by Fudo Myoto.
And the reason why he wanted to kill the demonic nature in Sanzang's body with his sword was to help Sanzang get rid of his inner demons from his own perspective.
The first sword is just a test.
He immediately activated his magic power again. His left hand, which was originally holding a bundle of silk ropes, even formed a seal, and silently recited the secret words in his heart. Under the blessing of the three, the sword light was vertical and horizontal, and the Buddha's light flourished for a while -
Not to mention the Arhats and Bodhisattvas present, even some Buddhists with a shallow foundation may not be able to be so powerful. Seeing this at this moment, I even felt a little panicked in my heart. If this sword struck me, would I be able to withstand it? Can you live there?
Of course, they would not be like Master Tripitaka, who would just stand there, neither hiding nor blocking, and let Fudo Ming King chop him down with the Buddha's sword.
In fact, each of the ten bodhisattvas in Buddhism has his or her own uniqueness. Even becoming a Buddha depends on their thoughts. The only difference lies in thinking or not thinking.
When the Great Sun Tathagata on the side saw this, he directly said: "Fudo Myoto's Buddhist sword can kill evil spirits, but how can it kill the true Buddha? Even though Tripitaka has not achieved the true fruition, his Buddha nature is so profound that he even needs Above Fudo Myooh."
The words of the Great Sun Tathagata were not deliberately hidden.
Perhaps the attention in the distance was all on Tripitaka and Fudo Myoyo, but the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas around him heard it clearly.
In particular, Peacock Daming King also echoed: "If you only use the Buddha's teachings to activate the Buddha's sword, I am afraid that the Buddha's light will not only cut off the demonic nature of Tripitaka, but may also become Tripitaka's nourishment."
The Glazed Medicine Buddha, who was sitting on the side of the Buddha and had never spoken much, also said at this moment: "Perhaps this is the intention of King Fudo?"
"What does the Buddha mean by these words?"
Some people who couldn't see the situation clearly asked immediately.
Liuli Medicine Buddha looked serious and calm: "The demonic nature of Tripitaka is terrifying. It is rare in the three realms. The reason why he can always suppress this power is not only a firm mind, but also that his Buddha nature is one step ahead of the demonic nature. It is through confrontation that humanity emerges.”
The monks were deeply convinced after hearing this.
Isn’t that the truth?
Tripitaka is one body with three natures, among which the Buddha nature and the demonic nature are natural enemies. They compete and suppress each other, allowing their human nature to gain the upper hand.
So
"If Fudo Mingwang wants to turn his own Buddha nature into nourishment and offer it all to Master Tripitaka, so that his Buddha nature far exceeds his own demonic nature." Sunlight Bodhisattva beside Medicine Buddha thought thoughtfully, "Perhaps he can fully The demonic nature is suppressed, so that the Tripitaka Buddha nature completely takes over the dominant position. In this way, our Buddhism will have another true Buddha!"
"If it's so simple, why wait until now?" The ancient Buddha who was speaking at this moment, after saying this, looked at the Guanyin Bodhisattva on the side.
"Amitabha."
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva clasped his hands together and said: "As the ancient Buddha said, the problem that exists in Tripitaka is not the question of which of the three natures is stronger or weaker, but the key lies in Tripitaka's own will. It is known to all the three worlds that the power of Fudo Mingwang is It is so powerful that few gods and Buddhas can match it. However, I would also like to ask you to think carefully, what will be the ambition of Tripitaka who can bear the sin of killing living beings and karma?"
"With the hearts of ordinary people, the Dharma is in the hearts of Buddhas and demons." Guanyin Bodhisattva looked around and said, "I wonder how far you can achieve this?"
The monks immediately fell silent.
Not to mention the ordinary Buddhas and Bodhisattvas below, even if they are powerful, it is not easy to perfectly control the two powers of Buddha and Demon. The so-called Buddha and Demon at one thought are also their characteristics, but it is easy for most Buddhas to become demons at a single thought, but it is too difficult to return to Buddha nature.
Like Sanzang, he could directly switch between the two, and he seemed to be able to do so with ease. Even the Wutian Demon Ancestor who was by the Tongtian River that day was very surprised when he saw it.
Just as Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva expected, Tripitaka did not refuse the Buddha-nature that King Fudo Ming offered him.
The sea can accommodate hundreds of rivers.
Since he has the ambition to integrate the sins of the three realms into one body, why should he hinder such courage?
It seems that the blessing of Fudo Myoyo's Buddha nature is not enough to shake Fa Hai's demonic nature. On the contrary, Fudo Myoyo, who originally showed such a compassionate look, gradually becomes angry at this moment.
Fahai could see it clearly.
The steadfast Prince Ming seemed to be wavering a little at this moment. The most intuitive manifestation was that when the anger appeared on his face, the silk rope on his left hand was tightened.
This is the second magical weapon of King Fudo besides the Buddha Sword. Those who don't know it will regard it as a magical weapon such as a rope for binding demons or a rope for binding immortals. Of course, the silk rope does have such an effect, but its most important function is to restrain the "devil" in one's heart.
It is a magic weapon to restrain one's inner demons.
The reason why Fudo Myoyo is known as the Bodhisattva of Great Concentration, Fudo, is not only because of his own tenacity of mind, but also has something to do with the blessing of this Buddhist treasure on his mind. But now, under the unrestricted consumption of Fudo Myoto's own Buddha nature, the demonic nature sealed in his body is naturally gradually recovering.
"not good!"
Upon seeing this, Vajrapani Bodhisattva immediately screamed: "King Ming, stop now. If you continue like this, your Buddha nature will be sucked dry by Tripitaka. If your demonic nature cannot be suppressed, you will become a demon!"
Vajrapani’s concerns are not without reason.
But at this moment, King Ming had no choice but to make the decision himself. At some point, his consciousness obeyed the Buddha nature displayed by the Buddhist sword and escaped into the Lingtai Divine Mansion in Fahai.
The Tripitaka Sutra is transformed into a magnificent and extensive palace.
His Buddha nature was all poured into it. It was also transformed into a volume of scriptures and merged into it - "The Sutra of Mind Guarding by Fudo Myoyo". In addition, there are additional volumes, which are marked with the "Mantra of Fudo Myoyo" and the "Fourteen Root Seals of Fudo Myoyo".
All of his Buddhist teachings have turned into the foundation of Tripitaka?
boom--!
Fudo Myōō’s spiritual consciousness pushed open the door of the palace, and after entering, he was shocked to find something terrifying——
If the outer part of the sea of consciousness constructed by Tripitaka is the image of Buddhism, then the inner part really lives up to what he said before, "My body is a hell."
There were bursts of thunder, karma set fire to the prairie fire, strong winds raged, and silver snakes danced wildly.
Even the endless ghosts and monsters in the underworld are far better than this place.
In this hell, there are no ghosts and innocent souls, but there is only a strong monk with a naked upper body and a flying dragon tattoo on his back. He is constantly suffering from the pain of thunder bombardment and Buddha flames burning his heart.
boom!
A thunderous sound shook the sky.
It seemed that he was about to destroy Fudo Myoō's consciousness, but the monk standing in the center suddenly opened his eyes, and a ray of Buddha's light suddenly appeared, wrapping up Fudo Myoō's consciousness and sending it directly out.
In the outside world, the monks could only see the demonic nature of Fudo Myoyo resurrected. His original Dharma body could hardly be maintained, and it seemed that he might become a demon at any time. When Vajrapani Bodhisattva wanted to take action forcefully, he knocked the Buddhist sword out of Fudo Myoyo's hand. When, shua——
Without any warning, the Buddhist sword in King Fudo's hand lost its light in an instant, and made a clanging noise——
Fudo Myoyo couldn't even hold the Buddha's sword, and dropped it to the ground. Fudo Myoyo himself suddenly stumbled backwards. If not for Vajrapani Bodhisattva, who was beside him, he took action in time. He was holding him up, but he was afraid that he would lose his balance and fall to the ground.
"King Ming?"
When Vajrapani Bodhisattva saw King Fudo's face was pale, his eyes were closed tightly, his body was trembling slightly, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, he kept expressing his concern.
But before King Fudo could react, he saw a stream of pure Buddha light coming from Master Tripitaka and passing directly into King Fudo's body.
This docile and gentle Buddha's light directly suppressed the restless demonic nature in Fudo Myōō's body. After the Buddha's light was gradually absorbed by Fudo Myōō,
However, Fudo Mingwang clasped his hands together, performed a great Buddha salute in the direction of Master Tripitaka, and then said, "Thank you Master for your mercy. It's just a poor monk who overestimates his ability."
To cut off the root of Sanzang’s troubles?
What the hell was wrong with me just now that I had this idea?
Don't talk about anything else, just talk about the sea of consciousness that looks like Sanzang's, whether it is a magic sword or a Buddhist sword, it is difficult to have any effective effect. Moreover, with my own "modest" magic power, it is just a sheep in a tiger's mouth.
Previously, King Fudo was still a little surprised that Sanzo was so defenseless in such a powerful place in the sea of consciousness, allowing his consciousness to escape into it.
But when I entered it just now, I realized that if someone is destined to go in, he may not be able to come out again. It all depends on whether Tripitaka is compassionate.
After paying homage, King Fudo picked up the Buddhist sword that had fallen on the ground. With the support of Vajrapani Bodhisattva, he returned to his cattail leaf fan and meditated.
He needed some time to calm down his mind. After all, the consciousness of a monk recognized by the three worlds was a boundless purgatory. This undoubtedly brought a great shock to him.
Even with his determination, it would take some effort to accept it. As for what he saw in the sea of fahai and consciousness, he would not say a word to the outside world.
After the monks digested the matter for a while, the Buddha saw that no Bodhisattva wanted to come out to ask for advice, so he asked: "Among the Buddhas in Lingshan, are there any who learn from Tripitaka and learn the Dharma?"
The concentration power of the Buddhas in Lingshan is obviously "superior". They all look at the nose with their eyes, their mouths with their noses, and their hearts with their mouths, but no one looks at the Buddha and responds.
I was afraid that by accident, I would make eye contact with the Buddha and be called upon by his name. And no one responded. Although there was a risk of being called out by the Buddha immediately, the chance was much smaller after all.
Of course.
The Great Sun Tathagata felt no pressure at this time. After all, he had been on the scene a long time ago and had brought Sanzang into the Tantric Sect. Although he was just a guest, it was already a rare gain.
As the leader of the Esoteric Cult, the Great Sun Tathagata has a greater ambition in his heart, which is to make the Esoteric Cult superior to the Hinayana and Mahayana!
Although this task is long and arduous, if you dare not even think about it, then there will be no future.
Where does the motivation come from?
Of course, you must first set a goal to strive for.
There are many monks present who have similar ambitions.
Not to mention the Great Sun Tathagata, Fa Hai himself also wants to establish a sect and establish the inheritance of the Consciousness Only Sect, which will never be discontinued.
Secondly, there is Master Guanyin. After she discussed Buddhism with the Buddha at Lingshan Mountain, the Buddha once had the idea of truly unifying Buddhism. However, this matter was not as easy as what he said. In addition, the Buddha wanted to If I want to go through reincarnation and overcome the tribulation, I will put it aside for the time being.
However, the Bodhisattva himself believed that he was the leader of the four sects of Zen Pure Tantra, and since the Buddhas in Lingshan were decayed and lacked resources, he might not be able to establish another Buddhist sect in Nanhai.
