The history of the struggle of the God of the Stove

Chapter 449 The Third Buddha

When the luck of the human race in Kyushu was at its peak and sages and sages came forth in large numbers, the luck of Buddhism in Xiniu Hezhou was also flourishing.

Sakyamuni, the prince of the Shakya tribe, was intelligent and compassionate since he was a child. The Buddhist teachings of Xiniu Hezhou were widely spread. The Kapilavatthu country where Sakyamuni lived naturally also had the spread of Buddhism, so Sakyamuni was exposed to Buddhism since he was a child. , know how to practice.

It's just that he has a different understanding of Buddhism. The Buddhism that is circulating today advocates that all living beings can cross by themselves, and pay attention to the existence of self-emptiness, but Sakyamuni believes that the world is suffering so much that it is difficult to cross by oneself.

So he created another Buddhist law, not only to save oneself, but also to save all living beings, advocating the practice concept that the dharma and self are empty, preaching and teaching karma, and saving all living beings.

After people in the world perceive his great wisdom, great perseverance and supernatural powers, many people with considerable wisdom roots follow him and worship him as teachers. Therefore, when Sakyamuni traveled to various countries and taught Buddhism, thousands of disciples often followed him for many years. on the side.

And as Sakyamuni traveled more places, spread his own Dharma more widely, and believed in him, the more believers practiced the Dharma he taught. Gradually, Sakyamuni became more and more famous in Xiniu Hezhou, Get the support of the majority of Buddhist believers.

Naturally, it is impossible to hide this matter from the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on Lingshan Mountain.

Lingshan, above the resplendent and magnificent hall.

Burning Buddha sits on a lotus platform and preaches the mysteries of Buddhism. The Zen sound is faint and touches the soul.

In the hall, there are many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Vajra Arhats, monks, etc. on both sides, all sitting quietly and listening.

All these Buddhists with profound Dharma have Buddha's light on their bodies, and each of them has a solemn appearance and looks extraordinary.

After a long time, Burning Lamp Buddha finished his lecture and asked everyone if they had any doubts.

After everyone asked questions one by one, Ajatasut, the Arhat, put his hands together and said, "Buddha, now there is a man named Sakyamuni in Xiniu Hezhou, who spreads the Dharma everywhere, but it is very different from my Buddhist meaning. There are many differences. place.

In the early years, its momentum was not strong and I didn't pay attention to it, but now people from all over the world believe in it. If things go on like this, it may have an impact on my Buddhism. I don't know how to deal with this matter. I also ask the Buddha to show me. "

As soon as this remark came out, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were silent, and turned to look at the Burning Lamp Buddha.

Since more and more believers support Sakyamuni in recent years, these people on Lingshan have basically known about it except those who have been practicing in seclusion for many years. I want to know what Burning Buddha is going to do.

After all, the Buddhism preached by Sakyamuni had a great impact on Buddhist teachings, and it was also extremely sought after and believed by Buddhist believers, which made all Buddhists on and off Lingshan a little uneasy.

Ajatsatru was one of the disciples accepted by Zhunti Buddha's mother before she left the Three Realms. He was naturally loyal to Buddhism, so he paid special attention to this matter. Seeing that there were not only many followers of Sakyamuni, but even It also made a large number of Buddhist believers convert to the Buddhism promoted by the other party, so naturally they couldn't sit still.

What's more, someone has already recognized the predecessor of Sakyamuni, who turned out to be the reincarnation of Duobao, the chief disciple of Jiejiao. After the other party made such a big noise, it immediately caused uneasiness among many people in Lingshan.

Especially the disciples left by the two sages like Ajatasatut, I was even more worried that this was a Taoist conspiracy. With the great momentum of the other party among the believers, once they had some unruly intentions, they would provoke Contradictions among believers will definitely cause chaos. If one of them fails, their luck in Buddhism may decline as a result.

That's why he asked this question, wanting to see what the Burning Lamp Buddha thinks about it.

Burning Lamp Buddha glanced at everyone and sighed softly in his heart.

Although this question was raised by Ajatatsatta, it may not have been inspired by others.

Especially the pharmacist Liuliguang Wangfo and the others who were former disciples of the Western religion, I'm afraid they all had some ideas in their hearts, but they just didn't come out ahead, so they picked an unremarkable Ajatasut to ask themselves.

Ran Deng had all kinds of thoughts in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face. He said: "I already know about this, but my Buddhism pays attention to inclusiveness, and a new Buddhist concept can emerge. This is a good thing to strengthen the foundation of my Buddhism. .

What's more, since the Dharma taught by Sakyamuni can be recognized by many believers, it is naturally reasonable.

Moreover, the Dharma created by him is indeed more suitable for spreading the Dharma of our Buddhism. This is the fundamental method to enhance the luck of our Buddhism. You must not stop him from spreading the Dharma. "

"But, Buddha."

Ajatasut was anxious, and said again: "I heard that Sakyamuni is the reincarnation of Taoist Taoist Jiejiao Duobao. He didn't practice in the east. He came to Xiniu Hezhou to create another Buddha Dharma. His meaning is unclear. just in case……"

The Burning Lamp Buddha smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, since Sakyamuni chose to practice Buddhism in this life, he will naturally be used by my Buddhism. Can carry forward my Buddhism."

"what?"

All the buddhas, bodhisattvas, and arhats were shocked, and looked at the burning Buddha in amazement. They didn't expect him to say such words.

"Buddha, he is..."

A few people were anxious and opened their mouths to persuade.

In addition to the disciples of the original Western religion, Dingguang Huanxi Buddha is also included.

The former disciples of the Western religion persuaded them because they instinctively distrusted Daoist Duobao.

Not to mention the enmity between the two sides in the first battle of the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation, it was the three thousand disciples who were forcibly transported here. Although they have converted to Buddhism now, everyone knows that they must not have converted sincerely.

What's more, in order to frighten those Jiejiao disciples, several powerful figures from Jiejiao were humiliated in Lingshan.

Just like the arowana raised in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, it is a disciple of the Golden Immortal Taoism.

An existence like this, placed anywhere in the Three Realms, is a powerful party, but in the end they were kept in a pond by their Buddhist sects and humiliated.

However, this did greatly frighten those intercepted disciples who were transferred here. In addition, there are still restrictions in their bodies, so they have basically stopped making troubles in recent years, but because of this, these intercepted disciples are only superficial. I took refuge, but in my heart I never really recognized my identity as a Buddhist.

Therefore, those Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who were born in the Western religion are naturally full of distrust for Duobao.

As for Dingguang Huanxi Buddha, he is quite different.

He is the only Buddha who was born as a traitor to the sect, and he is quite afraid of Duobao, the former senior brother.

Moreover, his relationship with those Jiejiao disciples who were sent to the west is not good. When those guys saw him, they raised their eyebrows and raised their eyes, and he also looked down on those banned Jiejiao disciples. In such a field, he still dares to look down on himself, I really don't know what it means.

Because he is the Buddha, his status is higher than those Jiedi Bodhisattvas who were born in Jiejiao, so he often runs against them on weekdays. He, but I'm afraid it won't make him feel better.

He had a good time in Xiniu Hezhou in these years. After switching to Buddhism, he created the Dahuanxi Dharma, which was quite interesting.

If Duobao becomes the master of the Buddhist sect, whether he can be as carefree as he is now is another matter.

Dingguang Huanxi Buddha rolled his eyes a few times, and his big ears flickered a few times, thinking that in the future, he might have to stay away from Lingshan and find another spiritual place to practice.

Fortunately, Xiniu Hezhou is big enough. With his status as the master of Buddhism, he can practice without lack of spirit. At worst, he can just hide in the future. As long as he doesn't provoke Duobao, he has no reason to deal with him.

After all, even if you get the seat of Buddha, it doesn't mean you will be able to dominate the family. There are several factions within the Buddhist sect. Not to mention the disciples who were originally descended from the two saints of the Western religion, and those guys who came from the interpretation of religion. A good match.

After thinking about these things clearly, Dingguang Huanxi Buddha gradually calmed down, and at worst he would stop coming to Lingshan.

Fearing Sun Buddha, Manjusri Bodhisattva, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and others over there were also quite calm and never showed any other emotions.

They were brought to the west by burning lamps. No matter who is in charge of Buddhism in the future, with their identities and tyrannical strength, it is impossible for them to be suppressed much.

If it is really suppressed, it is impossible for the Burning Lamp Buddha to ignore it.

Therefore, it is difficult to affect their status even if they don't dare to do what Taoist Duobao wants to do.

And now that the luck of Buddhism is getting stronger and stronger, people like them have also risen with the tide, not only their status is much more noble than before, countless believers who believe in them offer tribute incense, and their cultivation base has also increased significantly.

Above, the Burning Lamp Buddha shook his head with a smile, and said, "Of course I know his identity. I knew it a long time ago. It's just that after I took over the Buddhist sect, I calculated the cause and effect, and calculated that there should be a third Buddha in my Buddhist sect."

"Dare to ask the Buddha, which three Buddhas are they?"

A Bodhisattva below asked.

"Past, present, Future."

The burning lamp Buddha said: "Although I established Buddhism and was revered as the Buddha, if Buddhism is to flourish, it must fall on Sakyamuni.

Looking at it now, it really is true. The Buddhism he created is indeed more popular with the people and can be accepted by more people.

Therefore, for the Buddha of the past, I only pave the way for the great prosperity of Buddhism.

After Sakyamuni succeeded to the throne, he should be the present Buddha, because he can make the Buddhist sect flourish and make our Buddhist sect truly flourish.

Maitreya is the future Buddha, inheriting my Buddhist foundation. "

"Oh?"

Everyone looked at Maitreya Buddha in amazement, they didn't expect him to be the Buddha in the future, originally everyone thought it would be the pharmacist Liuliguangwang Buddha with a higher level of Taoism.

However, Maitreya is also a disciple who has received the true biography of a sage. He is powerful in Taoism and has unlimited potential.

Moreover, Maitreya often smiles and has a big belly, which is indeed easier to be accepted in terms of image.

The most important thing is that Maitreya is a disciple of a sage, a direct descendant of Western religion.

Letting him be the seat of the future Buddha is not only very suitable in all aspects, but also can appease the hearts of those disciples who were originally taught in the West.

Otherwise, the two consecutive Buddhas were all outsiders. If the third Buddha was still an outsider, it would be unreasonable. Those disciples of Western saints would definitely be very dissatisfied.

If things go on like this, maybe there will be a huge gap inside the Buddhism, and then there will be very big contradictions. Once the trouble gets out of hand, maybe this big Buddhism will fall apart.

This is not what Ran Deng wants to see, nor is it what many people who tie their own interests to Buddhism want to see.

So it doesn't matter whether the so-called future Buddha was originally Maitreya, the key is to give hope to the disciples of the two former saints of the Western religion.

Even if you can't get it now, you have to let them see the future and tell them that in the future, this Buddhism will still belong to them, the disciples of saints.

So as soon as Ran Deng's words came out, those former Western disciples immediately felt at ease.
