Chapter 543 Cause and Effect
"Bodhisattva, at the Menglan Basin Meeting, the Tathagata belittled the human race in front of the great powers of the heavens. If these words were spoken privately by Buddhists, I, the human race, would not care. But if these words were spread among the heavens and the world by the great powers of the heavens, Bodhisattva knows how much the Tathagata’s words will destroy the majesty of our human race; and how many alien races, evil cultivators, and evil ways credulously believe in Tathagata’s words, causing cholera to spread among the human race and causing the death of countless ordinary people. Bodhisattva can really decide this kind of cause and effect on behalf of Buddhism!”

Zhuge Liang's words sent chills down Guanyin Bodhisattva's spine!
The human race is the protagonist of heaven and earth, and has its own destiny and merit. The evil cultivators of the cholera human race will have bad karma, while the good deeds of protecting the human race will have good luck and merit.

This is also the reason why countless monks have experienced and like to kill demons and protect the human race.

Even their Buddhist disciples preach in the human race for the purpose of planning luck and merit.

If the cause and effect of countless human deaths in the future are recorded on Buddhism, then Buddhism will really be in big trouble!
Wanting to understand this, Guanyin Bodhisattva immediately said: "Mr. Zhuge, the Menglan Basin Festival is indeed my fault in Buddhism, but this is also an unintentional mistake of the Tathagata. I don't know how to remedy it."

After knowing that the Tathagata Many Treasures' false words could cause great karma, Guanyin Bodhisattva decisively lowered his posture and apologized to the human race. And, he sold the Tathagata Many Treasures very decisively!

It is no longer important whether Buddhism loses face or not. What matters is how to resolve this great cause and effect, and how to prevent Guanyin Bodhisattva from being involved in it.

Before coming to Shouyang Mountain, Guanyin Bodhisattva did not know this. If she knew that the words of the Tathagata Many Treasures could cause great karma to the human race, she would never agree to come to the human race. No
However, things have come to this point. She has come to Shouyang Mountain on behalf of Buddhism, but she can't escape!

Zhuge Liang continued: "Bodhisattva, such cause and effect, how does Bodhisattva think we should remedy it?"

Zhuge Liang's question made Guanyin Bodhisattva speechless for a moment!
In fact, the farce at the Menglan Basin Festival cannot be blamed on Dubao Tathagata!
Although Buddhism has developed well in recent years. However, Buddhism is inherently deficient.

In these years, the battle between Taoism and Buddhism in Nanfangbuzhou has not ended even for the top Taoism officials!
The second-generation Xuanmen disciples with terrifying cultivation base paid no attention to the affairs of Nanfangbuzhou. Even outstanding third-generation disciples of Xuanmen like Yang Jian and Nezha looked on with indifference to the affairs of Nanfangbuzhou!
The Taoist disciples who compete with Buddhism in Nanfanbuzhou are mostly the outer disciples of Taoism or the inherited sects of Taoist disciples!

In fact, Buddhism has generally been suppressed by Taoism since its establishment.

It was precisely because Xuanmen did not send out core figures that Buddhism could penetrate into Nanfangbuzhou and gain a firm foothold! If Taoism had a figure like Yang Jian who was in charge of unifying the forces of the three religions, would Buddhism still be spreading with difficulty on the border of Nanfangbuzhou?

Moreover, since the establishment of Buddhism, Buddhism has mostly developed in the remote west, although there are also countless human races living in Hezhou, Xiniu. However, the fate of the human race in the Earthly Immortal Realm mostly gathers in Nanfangbu Continent!

Take the situation in the Earthly Immortal Realm as an example. If the catastrophe of heaven and earth was not approaching and Buddhism had obtained the promise of the Sanqing Saints, Buddhism in Nanfangbuzhou would never be able to intervene.

Therefore, Buddhism does not have a clear understanding of the human race, nor is it prepared to deal with the human race!

Although the human race’s strength is unfathomable!

However, the biggest difference between the human race and other major forces in the world is that the vast majority of the human race are ordinary people who have never practiced cultivation!
Buddhism only pays attention to the strength of the human race in the world of cultivation. How can it not make mistakes when getting along with the human race based on this!
Other races in the world don't care much about those weak tribesmen. Anyway, as long as the tribe is not exterminated, they don't care at all about the death of some tribesmen. But the human race is different. In the eyes of all the senior leaders of the human race, the human race monks are just an umbrella to protect the human race. The ordinary race is the foundation and future of the human race, because the ordinary race carries the civilization and inheritance of the human race!

In all the worlds, only human monks will die for the weak ordinary people; only human monks live in peace with ordinary people. Within the human race, the existence of those great sages of the human race who have no cultivation proves that the human race is fundamentally different from all the heavens and worlds!
Within the human race, if an empire can cultivate a large number of monks, the top brass of the human race will praise it; however, if the cost of cultivating monks is at the expense of the benefits of countless ordinary races, then the top brass of the human race will definitely punish it.

In the internal judgment of the human race, it is never as simple as the strong being respected!
His Majesty the Three Emperors of the human race expanded the living space for the human race and raised countless people; His Majesty the Five Emperors killed all the heavens and established the leading role in the world for the human race.

But within the human race, the Five Emperors, who had great military exploits, were not as good as the Three Emperors!

Of course, the Three Emperors' military exploits were not bad, but the human race's respect for the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors was completely different.

After thinking for a long time, Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "Amitabha! Mr. Zhuge is extremely wise. Please give me some guidance on Buddhism!"

Zhuge Liang looked at the sincere Guanyin Bodhisattva and said, "This matter is not the Bodhisattva's fault. Why should the Bodhisattva do this?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhuge, I am the head of the Buddhist Bodhisattva. How can I stand by and watch the affairs of Buddhism? The great sage of the human race once said: If you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and there is no great good! I hope Mr. Zhuge will take action!"

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Bodhisattva, our human race also has a saying: Filial piety is the first among all good deeds, and the heart does not care about deeds. A poor family has no filial son. What happened is the Tathagata’s unintentional words, and the Bodhisattva sincerely resolves the cause and effect. I, the human race, will not be ignorant of the truth and hold on to this matter! However, I, the human race, have three conditions, and I don’t know if Buddhism may comply with it!”

At this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva could no longer refuse. However, Guanyin Bodhisattva still spoke: "Mr. Zhuge, please tell me, Buddhism will definitely do its best to meet the conditions of the human race!"

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart. A man like Guanyin Bodhisattva, who has been practicing for countless years, really has a clear mind and is flawless in everything he does. Guanyin Bodhisattva's answer not only showed the sincerity of Buddhism, but also did not give a specific commitment. But it's really decent.

Zhuge Liang admired the extraordinary Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in his heart, but kept saying: "The first thing is that during the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West, the disaster that happened to the human race should be led by the human race. Buddhism cannot interfere in this matter without the permission of the human race! , Bodhisattva may agree!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned. She really couldn't answer it when it came to the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West!
Although there are not many disasters that happen to the human race in Journey to the West, these disasters are of great significance. If the human race does this wantonly, the great catastrophe plan of Buddhism will be destroyed!

After sorting out his thoughts, Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "Mr. Zhuge, the planner of the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West must also know that as long as the human race does not destroy the plan of the Great Tribulation and affect the progress of the Great Tribulation, the poor monk can take care of it on behalf of Buddhism!"

Zhuge Liang nodded and did not dwell on this matter!
Zhuge Liang proposed that the catastrophe of the human race should be dominated by the human race, mainly to prevent Buddhism from causing trouble in the human race in the name of catastrophe! The human race has no such intention of destroying the catastrophe!
