Fengyu felt his cheeks get hot, and he was moved by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's serious words as he vowed.
However, he only hoped that he could save sentient beings and did not think about becoming a Buddha.
When he heard the Bodhisattva say, "The Great Way does not save people with supernatural powers," he was choked for breath and suddenly realized that even though he had all kinds of magical powers, he could not subdue his mind.
"A pure heart means a pure land! However, sentient beings in Jambudvipa have lost their own pure and clear mind, and have fallen into false views, discrimination, attachment, five desires and five poisonous minds, unable to extricate themselves, and have committed many evils.
Even if you have great supernatural powers, destroy the demons that cause trouble in the world, and bring peace to the people, you cannot subdue their hearts.
The evil brought about by false views, discrimination, attachment, the five desires, and the five poisonous minds will still pervade the world. As long as the six paths of reincarnation of sentient beings are not broken, the evil world of five turbidities will still be endless. "
Feng Yu was stunned by the shocking voice that echoed in his mind, and was speechless for a moment after realizing it.
"How could he subdue his heart?"
He didn't know how many times he had asked this question, but he always wanted to know the answer.
"The bardo body after death of human beings is reincarnated according to the inspiration of Alaya Consciousness. Alaya Consciousness is like a USB flash drive with storage capacity. It stores the past and present of human beings. It is a huge seed bank of information, and there are also plants planted in it. The karma of mankind for countless lifetimes.”
The human body is formed with the help of the essence and blood of the parents, while the bardo body carries the karma of the previous life, and the reincarnated body carries the five poisonous hearts and five desires inherited from the parents. Therefore, human beings carry with them from birth an inescapable burden. Pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust.
The five poisonous minds and five desires are the root of suffering, the accumulation of karma and personal karma accumulated over many lifetimes, but these are not the true face of human beings. "
The Bodhisattva's eyebrows were downcast, and there was a faint look of loneliness on his side face with his head slightly lowered.
“What is humanity really like?”
"It is the nature that is self-sufficient and true. You can also understand it as the Buddha-nature of the Tathagata. The nature is pure and untainted and pervades everything. It is harmonious and unobstructed. It contains and embraces the world in the ten directions. It is always peaceful and has no birth and no death."
Fengyu's eyes stayed on the Bodhisattva's handsome face and couldn't move away. Although he knew the truth, he couldn't understand the realm of those words.
“The true heart is originally clear and pure, but due to one’s own karma, false views and attachments arise, and one cannot see the true face of the true heart. The true and innocent mind is lost, and one cannot see one’s own Tathagata nature.
If worldly sentient beings subdue their delusional minds, their true mind will appear. When everything does not abide in the true mind, they will immediately become a Buddha after seeing their true nature. "
"Can you become a Buddha after seeing your true nature? It's easy to say."
From the depths of the palace, the voice of Douzhan Buddha came, and the voice was as cold and arrogant as ever.
"How can worldly beings see their true Tathagata nature if they don't see through false images? How can they subdue their delusional minds and thoughts and let go of their attachments?"
Hearing this, Fengyu couldn't understand what the false voice meant.
"The world you see is not real."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva just said this in an understatement and stopped talking.
“It takes constant practice and practice to see through the illusions of the world, subdue the delusional mind, and become a Buddha, but these are not the final road to liberation.
Secular beings do not believe in retribution for good and evil, nor do they believe in the reincarnation of cause and effect. They do not know that the world they live in is an illusion of time and space, and they never know that they are actually trapped in a prison and unable to extricate themselves.
Therefore, they cannot save themselves. Even if you kindly extend the bright hand of Buddha to help them, they will turn a blind eye. Don't you feel despair and sadness when you see that all sentient beings are so ignorant and ignorant?
Most worldly sentient beings are unwilling to wake up, so even if Fengyu chooses to become a Buddha one day and wants to use Buddhism to save sentient beings, you will find that only those who are destined can be saved. "
Breathing suffocation and an inexplicable feeling of despair came over, Fengyu suddenly felt a little sad.
"It is difficult to understand the mind and see one's nature, and it is even more difficult to transcend the cycle of life and death. If the six paths of reincarnation are directly destroyed and cease to exist, will the illusion of time and space in the evil world of five turbidities also disappear?"
Relying on the battle-defying Buddha on the throne, he smiled with an unknown meaning.
At this time, Fengyu still couldn't understand the meaning behind those words.
But the smile of the Dou Victor Buddha was revealed for the young hero king, and he saw that one day he would be willing to bear all the pain for all sentient beings, even if it means destroying the six paths of reincarnation.
"You don't need to take those last words of the Holy Buddha to heart."
Fengyu did not take Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's gentle reminder to heart, but instead remembered what the Buddha said about victory in battle.
Relying on the bright figure on the throne of the main hall, one cannot see through the wordless silence between them as they communicate with each other.
"Go, I'll let you pass." A mysterious and faint voice sounded from the depths of the palace.
Fengyu looked down and saw an incredible and magical scene. The center of the magnificent and glorious palace presented a distorted and deformed picture like an illusion, exposing a dark and deep space tunnel.
The depths of the black hole-like tunnel gave Fengyu a strong visual impact. The confusion confused his mind and made him forget all thoughts.
When he came back to his senses, he found that he was already in a space tunnel, and the strong numbness caused by falling at a rapid speed surged throughout his body.
His body lost all senses and his mind went blank. He didn't even notice that his wrist was tightly grasped by another one.
At this time, there was only one thought in his mind: Is he going to the "Children's City" at the bottom of the 18th-floor prison in Nili City?
He fell and moved forward at a very fast speed, and the dark and deep space picture flew quickly behind him.
As the feeling of dizziness came over me, I could vaguely catch the innocent laughter of a child.
An inexplicable feeling suddenly arose spontaneously, moved only by the clear laughter of the child, which made him feel extremely comforted.
Bright and warm pictures burst into view, and the world became gentle and peaceful.
The sky is blue, the clouds are white, and the breeze is gentle.
The flawless white city wall that reaches up to the sky stands in the distance, emitting a glimmer of light like the morning sun.
Bright and shining light shines down from all sides of the city wall, illuminating the land full of lotus flowers.
The huge lotus flower is condensed with crystal clear silver light, radiating seven kinds of radiance, which are the colors of the sun, stars, moon and rainbow, intersecting with the light shrouding from above.
The pure white children are surrounded by lotus flowers. They sit quietly alone, chase and play.
Their innocent laughter echoed in the void, melodious and beautiful, reaching Fengyu's ears.
The sun shines down from high in the sky like a flowing Milky Way, and it shines beautifully.
Fengyu was a little dazed for a moment, because everything was peaceful and beautiful.
He quietly looked down at the exquisitely beautiful scenery below, watching many giants of light standing on the lotus land, either sitting quietly, standing, or lying flat on their backs.
The children circled around the godlike giants of light, crawling onto their arms, shoulders, and heads.
Those bright and holy figures are dressed in gold and have white and silver bodies. They are all formless and faceless, and their whole bodies exude an extraordinary aura of silence and tranquility.
Fengyu subconsciously turned his head, glanced at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva beside him, and blurted out: "It looks like you."
The Bodhisattva with downcast eyebrows looked down quietly, not looking back at Fengyu.
"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 the cycle of life and death. It needs these enlightened beings to work together to create a new world of great harmony.
These children are carefully selected and trained, and their mission is to be born in the Saha world to do justice for heaven. "
Feng Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this. He couldn't help but feel comforted when he thought that the meaning of these children's existence was so great and selfless.
"What are they now?"
"It's my branch spirit." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva responded as calmly as water.
"Where are those giants of light?"
"They are also spirits. It's just that they won't be reincarnated. They are the teachers of these children."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Bodhisattva's red clothes turned into gold, and all the facial features on his face disappeared.
Fengyu hadn't realized what was happening, and was surprised to see the incredible transformation of his body, showing the same splendid image as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
They fly to the world below where pure lotuses bloom.
The children stopped playing and looked up at the sky.
Those silent giants of light, with quiet and lonely breaths, all moved their bodies and turned their eyes to look at their kind descending from the sky.
The children were very happy and raised their little fingers in the air: "Look, two more teachers are here!"
