Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

The development of Lingshan Debate is actually almost the same as what the saints thought.

After Mahakasyapa entered reincarnation, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva asked Master Tripitaka for his opinion under the title "Son of the Spirit Tooth Fairy of Baoxiang Kingdom".

In the end, I got a reply: "My body is a hell, and I can bear thousands of sins in the three realms." This also convinced Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.

Samantabhadra just stopped and did not continue to pester. In the end, he said goodbye and left because the matter in Beizhou was not over yet.When we left Lingshan, we were riding on the white elephant.

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva may not be as smart as Manjushri Bodhisattva, nor as compassionate as Guanyin Bodhisattva, but he is a down-to-earth "doer" who practices his own way, so he is called the Great Samantabhadra Bodhisattva by the world.

After Samantabhadra, the Great Sun Tathagata used the Heart Sutra to examine Master Tripitaka, and then introduced the content of the sutra debate to the tantric religion, and even attracted the Peacock Great Ming King Bodhisattva to join in halfway.

Master Xuandu recounted the scene to the saints at this moment - the golden sun, the golden crow and the Buddha's flame; the five-color divine light, the dazzling light; the vast ocean, the thunder of the sea of ​​​​fa.
Various strange phenomena occur frequently. Even since the founding of Buddhism, such scenes of sutra debates have rarely been seen.

I'm afraid even the Buddha's teachings are nothing more than this.

The Buddhas in Lingshan also learned from this moment that Tripitaka had seen the way.

"good."

After listening to Master Xuandu's speech, Saint Taiqing rarely spoke first, "These three are all leaders in the three realms, and they have a promising future."

If there is a legacy in the Three Realms, then the three of them must be among those who can carry the banner of the Three Realms.

Saint Taiqing has always had a long-term vision, and he has already begun to think about the future.

As for the immortality of saints, if he still believes in this at this time, then he has really been practicing for so long in vain.

The so-called this moment, that moment.

Back then, it was a great opportunity for the Heavenly Saints to entrust their souls in the Heavenly Dao. However, with their own practice, their cultivation became more advanced and their understanding of the Heavenly Dao became clearer. Then, they I also clearly realize that if I continue to practice according to my current path, there will only be one result - to completely transform into the way of heaven and become a part of the way of heaven.

Obviously, this was not what he wanted.

It's just that he usually doesn't show his thoughts.

The current identity of the Heavenly Saint is actually more like a shackle for the Taiqing Saint. But after all, he became a Heavenly Saint, and there is cause and effect here. Now even in the chaos, it is actually difficult to make small moves.

Moreover, Saint Taiqing did not want to abandon the way of heaven. He was just thinking of some retreats and leaving some backup options.

It’s always good to be more prepared.

Just like Xuandu guarding Xuandu City, aren't all kinds of tactical arrangements well-stocked?

This is called being prepared.

"At this time, Master Tripitaka was invited by the Tathagata Mahavairocana to join the Esoteric Sect and became the guest Dharma King of the Esoteric Sect, with the honorific title of King Tripitaka Hai Huiming. Even the Tathagata Mahavairocana gave the Esoteric Sect's leader's order to Master Tripitaka, saying that anyone who borrows from the Esoteric Sect Those who are called disasters and disrupt the Buddha are allowed to use Master Tripitaka to refine their original minds with the Great Sun Buddha Flame, and everyone in the Tantric Sect will be under the supervision of Master Tripitaka."

"Good calculation." Nuwa Empress smiled and said: "Even if he didn't say so, would Master Tripitaka sit idly by and ignore such behavior after seeing it?"

"In fact, this more represents the attitude of the Great Sun Tathagata." Yuanshi Tianzun also said at the side: "After saying this, it seems that Master Tripitaka is just a guest Dharma King of the Esoteric Sect, but in fact his status is only lower than that of the Great Sun Tathagata. It can even be said that he is the deputy leader who holds the real power of criminal law."

"After all, he is Master Sanzang, and he is fully worthy of such treatment." Empress Nuwa now has a very good sense of the descendants of the human race, and he learned from Master Xuandu that his incarnation in the Three Realms, Lishan Laomu, She was very friendly with their master and disciple, so at this time, she was also towards their master and disciple.

In fact, it was Master Tripitaka's style of acting, which was quite to her liking.

As the most emotional saint among the six saints, Nuwa is still very emotional in many cases. In addition, she is a human mother, so it is easy to resonate with some of Master Tripitaka's actions.

When listening to Master Xuandu telling the story of Tripitaka's journey to the West, Empress Nuwa couldn't help but put herself into it, and her emotions would rise and fall with the twists and turns of the matter.

Of course, Master Sanzang is also very impressive. Except for the few times when he faced the way of heaven and endured the catastrophe, which made Empress Nuwa worried, in fact, most of the time, Empress Nuwa listened with a happy smile. It's more like appreciating the performance of an outstanding junior.

"At that time, after the debate with Master Tripitaka was over, the Tathagata Tathagata actually wanted to leave Lingshan, but Tathagata Buddha moved faster, and the door of the Great Leiyin Temple was closed first. Obviously, Tathagata Buddha did not want any more monks. Leave the Mahavira Palace."

"Interesting, both of them actually want to leave." After listening to Xuandu's words, Empress Nuwa immediately smiled and said: "Xuandu. If Mahakasyapa is an accident of Yin and Yang, Samantabhadra is real. Important things are at hand. The Great Sun Tathagata also wants to leave, is there something else you are hiding from us?"

Of course, Master Xuandu is hiding something, and it is none other than the Great Sage's "Great Sage Thunder Sound" magical power.

Master Xuandu is very curious, how will the saints react if they hear the thunder sound of the great saint?
It's a pity that the Great Master of Xuandu has no such effect at all when he reads it himself. Wukong is not in Xuandu City yet. If there is a chance, he must bring Wukong to let the saints open their eyes.

Well, it's to clean the ears.

Grand Master Xuandu quickly explained to Empress Nuwa, "Empress, wouldn't it be boring if some things were revealed in advance?"

How long has it been since the saints felt that things were left in suspense?

At least before Master Tripitaka was born, everything in the Three Realms was still under their control. But now, if Xuandu puts it this way, it does seem a bit interesting.

"Forget it." Nuwa Empress waved her hand, "I also want to know what kind of surprises their master and disciple can bring me."

"I will definitely not disappoint you."

Master Xuandu is very confident in this.

After the Great Sun Tathagata, several great Bodhisattvas took turns to join the battle. They could not win in the literary debate, and they were directly defeated in the martial debate. Master Sanzang's name was truly established in Lingshan.

Whether it is the three great Bodhisattvas Tripitaka debating sutras with the Great Wisdom Kongzang, the Great Mighty Mahasthamaprapta, and the Great Love Infinite Mind; or the Dharma fight with the two Bodhisattvas Great Vajrapani and Great Samadhi Fudo, the scene is also the same. This rare sight benefited many monks present at the time.While the saints were sighing at the Dharma and power of Master Tripitaka, they heard Master Xuandu continue to say: "After that, the incarnation of Uncle Jieyin was triggered to lead the Buddha out of the group to discuss Hinayana Buddhism with Master Tripitaka. .”

Ok?
Obviously, this matter was not expected by the saints. Even the saint himself was a little stunned after hearing this.

But if we take Master Tripitaka himself as an example, he is actually better at Hinayana Buddhism.

Moreover, his understanding of Hinayana Buddhism can also be seen in his "The Theory of Perfection of Consciousness". The saints actually have no doubts about Master Tripitaka's realm of Hinayana Buddhism.

The only thing they care about is, isn't it possible that the Buddha was not better than the Master Tripitaka in the Hinayana Dharma?

"What did he say?" Before Saint Jie Yin could speak, Saint Zhunti could no longer bear it.

"There is only one Buddha in the world. The Buddha is not a Buddha, and the Buddha is not a Buddha."

Master Xuandu did not wait for the saints to ask, and directly recounted the scene one by one. After all, he had heard about it, not seen it with his own eyes, but this could not conceal the horror in his heart when he heard about it. meaning.

After all the saints listened to what Tripitaka said about "liberation and nirvana" and the essence of the relationship between "human self" and "dharma self", the leading saint also bluntly said: "The Hinayana Buddha Dharma is not inferior to mine."

And all the saints also heard the connotations of Master Tripitaka’s various opinions on Hinayana teachings.

"And when the Buddha was introduced to ask Master Tripitaka about his stance on Buddhism, Master Tripitaka truly stated that his Buddhist knowledge was all based on the four words "Consciousness alone". This also led to Maitreya Buddha arguing with Master Tripitaka about Buddhism. "

"As the two of them argued more and more deeply around the four words "Consciousness Only", Master Tripitaka took the opportunity to throw out the "Three Nature Theory", "Five Levels of Viewing Dharma" and "Yinming Theory" and other essentials of the Consciousness Only Sect. Finally. After the sutra debate was over, he even invited the monks from Lingshan Mountain to debate the sutra under the title 'True Consciousness Only'."

Then, Master Xuandu briefly introduced this "True Consciousness" to the saints.

All the saints have read Master Tripitaka's "The Theory of Perfect Consciousness", and they know what Master Tripitaka means. Even if they are a few, it is difficult for them to find a solution to the problem at the moment.

Even if there are some ideas, after a little deduction, you will know that the follow-up is not a real way to solve the problem.

"He actually dares to challenge the entire Lingshan Mountain on his own!"

Master Tripitaka’s bold and reckless actions are now deeply ingrained in the hearts of all the saints.
But he was allowed to do it, because Master Xuandu said, "Master Tripitaka's move at that time undoubtedly angered the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on Lingshan Mountain, and they all came out to debate the scriptures with Master Tripitaka. But the facts have proved that Master Tripitaka is indeed impeccable in the path of Buddhism and has defeated more than ten Bodhisattvas and four Buddhas in a row."

Master Xuandu no longer used the term "profound" to describe Master Tripitaka, but instead used the term "impeccable", and the saints did not feel there was anything wrong with it.

And when Master Xuandu mentioned that there was a Fahai Leiyin Tathagata who did not want to argue with Master Tripitaka, but wanted to compete directly with his magic power, the saints also felt that it was natural.

The Three Realms have always been like this. Whether what you say makes sense actually depends on whether your fist is big enough.

Anyway, the fists of the Six Saints are big enough, so when they were still in the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor's words were not as effective as those of the six of them.

The Three Realms are different now. The saints who occupy the absolute top have left the Three Realms, so the ownership of the right to speak is not as simple as before.

It seems that the Jade Emperor, as the supreme master of the three realms, is about to truly control the three realms, but in fact, his tentacles are still far from being able to reach out.

After all, in the Heavenly Court alone, there are six great emperors including him, the Jade Emperor. The other great emperors may not be as powerful as him, but they are not that far behind.

That is to say, the emperors did not interfere in the government affairs of heaven at ordinary times, otherwise it would be inappropriate for him, the Jade Emperor, to do so.

This is true in heaven, and so is Buddhism.

After the Two Saints of the West left the Three Realms, the ownership of Lingshan actually depended to a large extent on the power of vision.

And in the entire Lingshan Mountain, there are only a handful of people who can hold the magical power of the Tathagata Many Treasures.

If they join forces, they may really be able to cause a lot of trouble to Duobao Tathagata who first entered Lingshan. But later, with the support of three great masters, Duobao Tathagata truly established a firm foothold in Lingshan.

The reason why Mahayana Buddhism can be spread is because the four of them joined forces and the monks in Lingshan had to obey. Otherwise, he alone would not be able to have such a scene as Mahayana Buddhism today.

"Perhaps defeating Vajrapani and Fudo Bodhisattva will not convince the Buddhas in Lingshan, so this Dharma Sea Thunder Sound Tathagata challenged Master Tripitaka." Master Xuandu said to the saints: "And this battle , although Master Sanzang did not refuse, he was not the one who took action."

"Who is he?"

"Wukong was the one who stepped in front and wanted to fight Fa Hai Lei Yin Tathagata, one of the Seven Medicine Buddhas from the Pure Land of Glazed Lazuli."

Empress Nuwa immediately laughed and said: "This monkey is very bold."

The saints also nodded slightly, which was regarded as acknowledging Nuwa's statement.

The Great Sage is famous for being bold, but in the past, he was bold because he was fearless if he didn't know. Now, rather than saying he is bold, it is better to say that he is getting bolder and bolder.

"Actually, Wukong was not the only one. In addition to him taking the initiative to stop Fahai Leiyin Tathagata, Wujing and Xiaobailong walked directly to the door of the Main Hall. One wanted to consult the Buddhist teachings with the monks in Lingshan, and the other wanted to learn from them. The masters and disciples of the Buddhist Dharma Protector Vajra, except for Bajie, are not peaceful."

"And Wukong is not just brave. His magic power is not inferior to Fahai Thunder Sound Tathagata at all." Master Xuandu said in a deep voice: "Fahai Thunder Sound Tathagata tried to suppress Wukong with the palm of the Buddha, but he was Wukong used the golden cudgel to hold up the sky, and struck the sky with such fury that he couldn't help but break the Buddha's palm of Fahai Thunder Sound Tathagata, and even the golden cudgel poked a hole in the Mahavira Palace."

It was precisely because of this that the two sides got into a real fight.

"Because there are so many monks in the Main Hall, if we continue to fight, it is inevitable that we will not be able to use them."

"Then where did the two of them choose to fight?" Nuwa Empress asked at the right time. Among the saints present, she was the only one who occasionally talked to her.

"The top of the Great Hall."
