Dragon God Qingli once told me:
"The real difference between Buddha and sentient beings is that all the Buddhas you see are born from your thoughts. Just as you believe that you are a Buddha, so you see the Buddha's cognition, the Buddha's cognition is your own Perfect nature.
By reflecting on the Buddha within you, you will have the light and pure land of the Buddha in your heart, and you will be able to escape suffering and achieve happiness at this very moment.
However, after generations of inheritance, the human genes of light and sound in the bodies of all living beings in Jambudvipa have been wiped out and degenerated, and only a few of them are left, and all living beings are becoming more and more animalistic.
If we want to awaken the Buddha-nature that all sentient beings originally possess as gods and humans, instilling doctrines and preaching will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Only by finding a true cure for the root cause can we save all sentient beings from suffering in this great reshuffle of the world. "
Although there is still consciousness in the illusory universe, Fengyu's body cannot take any action and can only float in the air lying flat and sleeping.
Touched by his words, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was silent and seemed to be deep in thought.
"Because Ao Bing felt that mankind was hopeless and unworthy of protection, he betrayed mankind. In fact, he was just disappointed. The process of love turned into disappointment and then hatred."
Fengyu raised his left hand and quietly stared at the sacred object wrapped around his wrist. He felt that the tree vine bracelet looked real.
"Most worldly beings who possess the Buddha-nature of the Tathagata are unwilling to awaken, so the Buddha can only save those who are destined to him.
In this game of reincarnation, only worldly beings who are trapped in the game and unable to extricate themselves will be obsessed with it. The enlightened person who can escape from the game will be closer to the law of heaven - "Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as rudderless dogs; saints are unkind and treat the common people as rudderless dogs."
Compassion is the nature of the way of heaven, but ruthlessness is also the nature of the way of heaven. This is the same principle as all living beings have the Buddha-nature of Tathagata.
The responsibility and mission of the enlightened person is to inherit the appearance of the way of heaven. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the clone of the way of heaven. Because the way of heaven needs enlightened beings who can go through all the tests of reincarnation and whose energy is clean and pollution-free, to lead all living beings to transcend reincarnation, and these enlightened beings need to work together to create a new world of great harmony.
The enlightened person accepts all kinds of imperfections in the world, cultivates himself into a self-sufficient and perfect existence, saves all sentient beings, and leads all sentient beings to move towards their self-sufficient and perfect self.
The enlightened ones who inherit the will of Heaven are the ones through whom Heaven experiences and transmits its own nature.
Like a treasure of true and flawless mind, all sentient beings are perfect.
The emptiness and formless Dharma body of the Buddha is as pure and untainted as its original nature and pervades everything. It is harmonious and unobstructed. It contains and embraces the worlds in the ten directions. It is always peaceful and has no birth and no death.
For example, worldly beings come from 1, 1 can give birth to all things, and have form without formation; Buddha's Dharmakaya represents 1, and Dharmakaya can give rise to all phenomena when encountering conditions.
If all living beings in the world can restore their original and perfect nature through the harmony of causes and conditions, then the number of Dharmakayas will increase, and their natures will all be the same. You will be the Buddha, and the Buddha will be you, belonging to the clone of the Dharmakaya.
If the minds of worldly sentient beings could be the same as that of the Buddha, then all living beings would become Buddhas immediately. "
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who is calm and unhurried, has a calm and thoughtful expression, without sadness or joy; his lowered eyes no longer contain the tenderness and compassion, only the calmness of deep water without any ripples.
The smooth clothes, the overall solemn image, and the ruthless gaze of "the world is unkind and treats all things as civet dogs" made Fengyu feel throbbing, and for the first time he discovered another side of this Bodhisattva who was extremely lonely.
I don’t feel that this kind of look of “the world is unkind and treats all things like a civet” is scary. I just feel that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who looks down on the world with this look, is just as lonely as he is.
Memories flashed back in his mind, and he recalled that bright, white, flawless hand reaching out to him, that hand filled with perfect dignity and possessing all the merits in the world.
He couldn't help but silently hold it back, and looked into the eyes of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva with lotus-shaped jade hands.
The compassionate Bodhisattva turned back to stare at him, with a gentle look in his eyes and a peaceful smile on his face.
Now, for the first time, my body has moved under the control of my thoughts. I stretched out my hand and took Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's hand that naturally hung by my side. It felt like I was holding my own hand. I felt like I was connected with the Bodhisattva. It's one.
His identity at this time is like an enlightened person who inherits the will of Heaven, and Heaven experiences and transmits his own nature through the enlightened person.
"What does the whole heaven want? Why is there destruction?"
He was asking about the laws of heaven, and he was also questioning the laws of heaven.
"All the three thousand worlds are constantly changing and circulating in the process of formation, existence, destruction, and emptiness. There is no moment of stillness."
The underlying meaning of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s answer is that he recognizes and accepts the laws of heaven.
"Heaven needs enlightened beings who can go through all the tests of reincarnation and whose energy is clean and pollution-free to lead all living beings to transcend reincarnation. They need these enlightened beings to work together to create a new world of great harmony."
Feng Yu smiled bitterly. The truth sounded the same as "One general can make thousands of bones dry up." How many corpses of sentient beings were piled up and buried under the feet of the enlightened person standing on the top of the dead bones?
"The six realms of reincarnation are the six dharma realms among the "Ten Dharma Realms", and each of the six realms has the cycle of life and death.
Heaven, Shura, and humans are the three good realms; animals, hungry ghosts, and hell are the three evil realms.
The six paths of reincarnation are actually the cycle of cause and effect, the continuity of cause and effect, and the transformation of cause and effect. That is, if you sow good causes, you will get good results; if you sow evil causes, you will receive bad rewards.
If a person can understand the principle of cause and effect, and understand that cause and effect is true, true, and cruel, he will definitely practice the Five Precepts and Ten Good Deeds.
The Five Precepts: Do not kill, do not steal, do not engage in sexual misconduct, do not lie, and do not drink alcohol.
The ten good deeds are: no killing, no stealing, no sexual misconduct, no lying, no double-talk, no harsh words, no idle talk, no greed, anger, and ignorance.
If you practice the ten good deeds of the upper level, you will enter the heavenly realm after death; if you cultivate the ten good deeds of the middle level, you will enter the asura path after death; if you cultivate the ten good deeds of the lower level, you will still be reborn in the human realm after death. These are the results of practicing good deeds.
If you commit the ten evil deeds, you will fall into the three evil realms after death and suffer endless pain. "
Feng Yu asked confused and doubtfully: "Do humans believe in six paths of reincarnation?"
“People in the world know the consequences of karma and karma like a grain of salt in the ocean.
The ignorance that arises at the same time as life causes all living beings to rotate in the cycle of birth and death. The root knot is the six sense organs of all living beings: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, and nothing else. "
A trace of worry is rare in Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's brows.
“Heaven has the virtue of a good life, the earth has the richness to carry things, and a gentleman has the beauty of adulthood.
However, if the world does not respect heaven and earth, does not know the gods and Buddhas, and does not become a gentleman, and knows how to advance and retreat, survive and die without losing the right path, then there are only gods, Buddhas and gentlemen of heaven and earth. "
Listening to the Bodhisattva speaking in a light and casual tone, Fengyu's heart became heavy and he felt that his body was shrouded in the lingering shadow of worry.
"Artificial babies replace the mother's womb for reproduction, and the probability of a child being born from the mother's womb is extremely low. Moreover, God wants to leave the opportunity of reincarnation to high-energy souls to save the world. Nowadays, humanity in the six paths of reincarnation is actually in a state of collapse and is unqualified. It is difficult for a soul to be reincarnated as a human being."
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Fengyu felt that his breathing was almost stagnant.
"I'll take you to Children's City."
The listener was stunned for a moment. Before he could realize where the Children's City was, he could only see the illusory universe and void scene changing scene.
The real Children's City is not in other places in the world, but in the world of mountains and seas hidden in lotus flowers, located at the bottom of the prison in the treacherous city of Nili City.
Fengyu's soul was brought to the top of Nili City by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, where the palace of the Victorious Buddha is located.
They were suspended above the gorgeous palace, looking down at the exquisite buildings below, and heard a low and cold voice coming from there.
"What are you doing here?"
No polite words, just direct questions.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said calmly: "I will take him to the Children's City."
After the battle, the Buddha sent the protectors around him to support the human world, and now he stayed alone in the palace.
He didn't come out to greet the visitors. He really just didn't want to see Feng Yu.
"Looking at your hands-on attitude, do you want to be his teacher?"
"yes."
After hearing the conversation between Victory Buddha and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Fengyu was surprised and slightly stunned.
The atmosphere was stiff and there was silence for a moment.
"Okay." The words came from the palace below, echoing faintly.
"With the power of your great compassion, you vow to save all sentient beings!
Although his merits, virtues and wisdom are equal to those of the Buddha, he does not appear as a Buddha, but always as a Bodhisattva. He practices and saves sentient beings in the worlds of the ten directions. He transforms into hundreds of thousands of billions of bodies to save hundreds of thousands of billions of sentient beings. He also saves many sentient beings to become Buddhas.
Now, do you also want to save Fengyu and become a Buddha? "
"If he makes a great wish to become a Buddha to me, I will predict that he will become a Buddha!"
