Chapter 1912 3 Birth and Death
Chapter 1912 Three Hundred Life and Death
The Yin and Ming sky, the underworld, is shining with divine light and is magnificent. After the death of Mother Bai Lian, most of the luck has fallen into the underworld. The Yin and Ming sky has become more and more extraordinary. The Five Ghost Emperors and the Six Underworld have all made considerable progress.
In the southern continent, there stands a sacred mountain where Emperor Zangsheng, also known as the ancient Buddha Ksitigarbha, practices.
When the underworld was cleaning up the divine road, this emperor made great contributions and was favored by the underworld's fortune.
"Amitabha, Mahakasagara has been born. The Buddha will soon return to his position. A Tathagata will emerge from our Buddhist sect."
With insight into the changes in heaven and earth, he felt the vibration of Buddhism's fortune, looked into the distance, and saw the brilliant Buddha's light. The ancient Buddha Ksitigarbha could not help but put his hands together and chant the Buddha's name.
As the Buddha established his way in the world, all the previous forbearance and dormancy of Buddhism became valuable. According to Buddhism's original plan, after the Buddha established his way, Buddhism would give birth to three immortal thrones, namely the past, present and future.
Buddhism calls these three the Three Buddhas of the Past, Present and Future. When the Three Buddhas return to their positions, they will become the pillars of the Pure Land together with the Buddha. At that time, Buddhism will truly open the door of convenience, save all living beings, and lead all souls to escape from the sea of suffering and ascend to paradise.
As the World Honored One appointed by the Buddha, he is almost destined to be the current Tathagata Buddha in this life. He only needs to obey the destiny of the Great Red Heaven and refine the Tathagata in his heart. Then he can return to paradise, sit on the lotus platform, be called the World Buddha, and look down on all living beings.
"The Buddha has returned to his throne, Buddhism is flourishing, and I have to speed up as well."
A thought arose, he withdrew his gaze, and using the power of the Ghost Emperor, Ksitigarbha further touched upon reincarnation.
At a certain moment, in the vast six realms, he saw a bit of golden light. Its brilliance was dim, but after being polished by reincarnation, it became extremely pure.
Seeing this, Dizang's mind suddenly moved.
"Amitabha, give up the immortal fruit, cultivate the body of merit, be born three hundred times, die three hundred times, the root nature of the Buddha's child has been completed!"
Looking down, Dizang saw the golden light and felt sincerely happy.
Buddhism believes in cause and effect, and there is a great power like the Buddha, who has already made plans for the future. Shanyuan is the Buddha's son they have chosen. Shanyuan is born with compassion, great wisdom, and great perseverance. He is favored by many powerful people in Buddhism, who believe that he may be able to truly inherit the Buddhist tradition.
It is precisely because of this that Buddhism will help him to gather merit and send him into reincarnation. This is certainly for the overall situation of Buddhism, to grasp the general trend, spread Buddhism, and promote Buddhism, but it is also to lay a true supreme foundation for good karma, so that he has the possibility of becoming the second immortal figure in Buddhism after the Buddha.
However, man proposes, God disposes. Even a powerful person like Buddha cannot calculate everything. He cannot do that now, and he was even less capable in the past. The Taoist Ancestor established the Tao in heaven and earth, cut through the underworld with an axe, leaving a way out for all living beings, and completely reversed the situation in the Taixuan Realm.
Under such circumstances, Buddhism had to change its plan and postpone the return of the good karma. However, this is not a bad thing. By grasping the changes, the Buddha saw more possibilities, which led to the creation of the Pure Land and the Three Buddhas.
"Buddhism will flourish, and Buddhist disciples can return!"
Using the secret method passed down by the Buddha, Ksitigarbha tries to bring back good karma.
The next moment, an invisible thread came from nothingness, crossed the cycle of reincarnation, and entangled itself around that spot of golden light.
At this moment, the golden light disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Dizang was not surprised but happy, for he knew that it had been accomplished.
"Amitabha, good, good!"
As his sight rises, Ksitigarbha’s consciousness returns to himself.
As the deputy lord of the underworld, Dizang does have the authority to touch reincarnation, but finding a person in the vast reincarnation and bringing him or her back is still a time-consuming and laborious task. Fortunately, everything went well.
In fact, even if there is no Ksitigarbha to guide people through reincarnation, Buddhism still has a way to regain good karma, but that requires the Buddha to take action personally, which is more troublesome.
When Ksitigarbha touched the cycle of reincarnation, he felt something in his heart and Heishan opened his eyes.
“Is Buddhism going to take that little monk back? He has gone through three hundred births and deaths in the cycle of reincarnation and countless calamities, but I don’t know what kind of foundation this little monk has accumulated!”
Knowing everything, Heishan seemed to be thinking about something.
He didn't know much about the young monk Shanyuan. He only vaguely knew that this man had some friendship with Zhang Chunyi. At the beginning, the Tianren Dao was occupied by Buddhism, and finally this man handed it over to him on behalf of Buddhism.
"The Great Way of Reception, the Paradise, the atmosphere of Buddhism is indeed different now."
"The Three Buddhas, the three immortal thrones, but I wonder if this little monk is one of them."
Thoughts arise and disappear, eyes reflect the chaos, and Heishan's thoughts drift quietly away.
As the top force in the Taixuan Realm, Longhu Mountain naturally noticed the changes in Buddhism. The existence of Paradise attracted many eyes. Although only the tip of the iceberg was revealed, the mystery of Paradise still aroused the interest of many immortals and gods, especially the legendary three Buddhas of the past, present and future.
Because to some extent, the three Buddhahoods are close to destiny, and if one obtains them, one is almost certain to attain immortality. It is so magical that one cannot help but yearn for it. One must know that even a powerful place like Longhu Mountain does not have such a means to allow a living being to directly lock in the immortal position.
Even if one does not expect to attain the Buddhahood of the Three Worlds, the mysteries of the Pure Land still make people itch.
"It's easy to sit on the lotus platform, but it's hard to repay the karma. The Three-time Buddha throne of Buddhism can indeed help people achieve immortality, but they must accept the karma left by the Buddha. This is the price of gaining its power. Once you sit on it, it will be difficult to transcend."
"The Buddha's great path of guidance requires one to bear the burden first and then receive the reward. To some extent, it is similar to Wusheng's practice of reducing and seeking emptiness. Once one enters the paradise and enjoys the benefits, one needs to bear the corresponding cause and effect. As long as the Buddha does not transcend, those who come after him will also have no hope of transcending. It can only be said that there are gains and losses, and the pros and cons need to be weighed by oneself."
Thinking of Buddhism and the Paradise, ripples appeared in Heishan's heart. As an immortal of Longhu Mountain, in charge of reincarnation, he knew a lot about the inside story of Buddhism. Although the Paradise was good, he did not like it.
Because once you enter the Pure Land, it seems that you have escaped from the sea of suffering and are in bliss. Even if you die, you can be led back again. But in fact, you are carrying a huge burden, and transcendence is almost hopeless. Only the Buddha transcended first, and then there is some possibility for those who come after him, but it is still very weak, very weak.
But this was just his idea. For ordinary people, the Buddhist paradise was really very good, almost an ideal country. After all, true transcendence was too ethereal. To be able to enter the paradise and live a free life was the dream of countless people.
And at this moment, the regeneration changes in the cycle of reincarnation attracted the attention of Montenegro.
