“Furthermore, if, now or in the future, the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, gods, dragons, ghosts, and spirits hear Ksitigarbha’s name, pay homage to Ksitigarbha and perform his actions, or hear Ksitigarbha’s original vows and perform them, and praise and pay homage to him, he will gain seven kinds of benefits.
One is to quickly surpass the Holy Land. Both, bad karma is eliminated. Third, all Buddhas will come to protect you. Fourth, Bodhi will never retreat. Fifth, increase your ability. The six fates are all connected. The seventh person will eventually become a Buddha.
At that time, all the indescribable Buddhas, Tathāgatas, great Bodhisattvas, gods, dragons and eight tribes who came from the ten directions heard the praises and praises of Shakyamuni Buddha and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. They were so majestic and powerful that they were inconceivable and were astonished that they had never been seen before.
At that time, the Tradition Heaven rained down immeasurable incense and flowers, and heavenly clothes were adorned with pearls, making offerings to Sakyamuni Buddha and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
All the people in the assembly resumed their salutes, clasped their hands and retreated. "
After finishing reciting the Ksitigarbha Sutra, Fengyu remembered the original teachings of Victory Buddha and preached to all sentient beings:
"Benefits means 'merit'! The various benefits stated in the Ksitigarbha Sutra are flaws in the lives of worldly sentient beings; but as long as you offer offerings to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue or read and recite the Ksitigarbha Sutra, the life with the flaws will be fulfilled. merit."
"The Ksitigarbha Sutra not only can deliver salvation, but the most different thing about it is that it tells about Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who can perfect the personality of worldly sentient beings and make up for the loopholes and defects in life."
Some sentient beings with strong roots of good deeds shed tears when they heard this and said it three times.
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is compassionate! Toyoha is compassionate!"
As the white dragon moves towards the west, fewer and fewer sentient beings gather around Fengyu. Most of them have vowed to be reborn in the Pure Land City of the Mountains and Seas hidden in the Lotus Flower.
The city of light floating in the sky is the only pure land of Jambudvipa. After death, all sentient beings in the six realms will definitely be reborn there as long as their karma is eliminated and they aspire to be reborn there.
Only a few of the sentient beings who have helped Fengyu still want to be reincarnated as human beings.
Those sentient beings who had vowed to be reborn in the Pure Land City of the Mountains and Seas hidden in the Lotus collectively turned into aurora and took the unconscious Brother Cuntou away with loyalty, flying towards the west like meteors passing by.
All living beings who want to be reincarnated as human beings are waiting for Fengyu to send them to the Wheel Tower of Hell, and directly enter the "human realm" in the Wheel Tower to be reincarnated.
"The mortal world is so miserable. Wouldn't it be good for you to be reborn in the pure land city where the lotus flowers are hidden in the world of mountains and seas, and never enter the six realms of reincarnation again?"
The sighs of the white dragon did not sway the few sentient beings who wanted to be reincarnated as humans.
"But... I want my parents!"
"I haven't lived a good life, so I just want to live a good life again until the end of my life."
"I want to save all sentient beings. Humanity is the best way to practice, so I start by being a human being."
Feng Yu was stunned for a moment, feeling shocked, and moved his eyes to the little boy sitting cross-legged next to him.
The little boy was still an infant when he listened to the sutra for the first time. He received the merits of his chanting and then transformed into a human form. Now he listened to the Ksitigarbha sutra for the second time and directly understood the great wish of the Buddha and Bodhisattva to save all living beings. .
He found his own shadow in the child. In his previous life, he was also in his teens. In order to expel the evil demons and save all sentient beings in Beiju Luzhou from suffering, he resolutely embarked on the path of subduing demons and eliminating demons.
"Xiaofeng, I can't tell you that you are really ambitious at such a young age."
Listening to the jokes and teasing of his companions, the little boy blushed in embarrassment and looked at Fengyu with innocent, romantic and firm eyes.
"After I am reincarnated as a human being, will I meet you again? I will follow you to save all sentient beings."
The other beings all laughed, and Feng Yu also smiled slightly.
Xiaofeng was touched by a hand on his head. This big hand was the hand of someone he admired.
At the western end of the mysterious city, with a red sun as the background, the Pure Land City of Paradise is shining brightly suspended in the sky.
There is only good and no evil, and the sentient beings there are as bright as jade and pure and flawless.
"Not to mention that sentient beings who have done many evil things cannot reach there, and sentient beings with impure bodies and minds cannot reach there, otherwise they will be burned by the sacred light.
The rays of light that complement each other like the sun and the moon can illuminate all the sins of worldly beings. If you feel great pain when you come into contact with the Pure Land City, it means you are unclean. "
Just after Bailong finished his explanation, he noticed movement in the body in Fengyu's arms.
His body struggled slightly and stretched out his left hand.
After his cheek was touched by the dry and blackened fingers, Feng Yu's pupils widened little by little, a look of disbelief flashed across his eyes, and he held the hand back.
"Wake up." The Demon King's voice came from the palm of his right hand.
An incredible scene also unfolded. The hand that was gently pressed against Feng Yu's cheek changed. It shed its black and dry appearance, emitted a faint red light, and grew new flesh and blood at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The phenomenon of flesh and blood regeneration spread from the arms to half of the body, and the white-gold robe covering the whole body was glowing with a bright red light.
The few sentient beings who wanted to be reincarnated and start a new life were overjoyed to see Leng Xian'er dying.
Seeing the painful expression on the delicate and beautiful face, Fengyu called to Bailong to stop.
Leng Xian'er, who had not fully recovered at this time, fell asleep again, sleeping peacefully.
"By the way, I just remembered that Sister Xian'er is a half-demon!"
Thanks to a sudden reminder from an infant spirit, everyone suddenly realized.
Only Arjuna, the white dragon, didn't know Leng Xian'er's identity, so he quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know she was...a half-demon."
The last two words are a bit difficult to say.
Bailong was suspended in the air, in a dilemma, waiting for Fengyu to make a decision on whether to return the way he came.
"Let me ask you one last time, do you want to be reincarnated as a human being? Or do you want to be reborn in the Pure Land?"
The atmosphere was silent for a moment.
"Be a human being!"
"Yeah, I want my parents, so I want to be a human being."
"Although the mortal world is full of bitterness and joy, and is full of love, hate, parting, resentment, and resentment, I still want to be a mortal and experience the ups and downs."
"Only the human realm is the best to practice. The sentient beings in the heavenly realm enjoy too much blessings and do not practice diligently; the sentient beings in the asura realm can live like heavenly beings and enjoy the blessings, but they do not have the virtues of heavenly beings and are definitely not good; the hungry and deceitful realms and the animal realms , The hell realm is too painful, and it’s hard to hear a single line of Buddhist teachings.”
"I'd better go to the Pure Land City of Ultimate Bliss, where there are no worries, only happiness. Being a human being is too hard."
Fengyu listened to the various reasons of these sentient beings and fell into thinking.
He placed Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra in the hands of the sentient being who changed his mind and decided to be reborn in the Pure Land.
When the other party saw the golden light emitting from the scriptures in his hand, his timid and nervous hands were trembling. He wanted to retract his hand, but his wrist was held tightly.
"Don't be afraid, you will be saved soon."
How could it not be afraid when such a sacred treasure was touched by me?
"I don't have time to recite sutras, so I can only deliver you to the Pure Land in this way."
The dazzling brilliance of the Ksitigarbha Sutra shines across the sky, making the faces of all living beings glow white gold.
"Go, you can rest in peace and be happy forever."
