Apricot of the Great Desolation

Chapter 190 Mahayana Buddhism
"Thirty thousand years ago, Zhunti saved more than a thousand disciples of your master's uncle. Now it's time to repay this cause and effect."

The corner of Fu Zhu's mouth twitched. Others didn't know it, but he knew clearly that Zhunti was plotted by his master, his master, and his uncle.

This is me, I take action when I get the opportunity. I don't show off my skills on weekdays, but I will give you a blow at the critical moment.

This guy is the real No. 1 among all the saints, let the Second Saint of the West take over, and now he still wants the Second Saint of the West to pay the gift money.

In fact, the real reason is that I have also seen something. The way of heaven is supreme, and reincarnation goes back and forth. Taoism has prospered for dozens of yuan, and it is also the turn of Buddhism.

I have guessed that the next calamity will be the opportunity for Buddhism to prosper, so I also use this cause and effect to plant a nail in Buddhism.

A sage never lets go of a useless piece in chess. You may think that you have just suffered a small loss, but it is actually just the beginning.

One hundred thousand miles east of Mount Xumi, there is a spiritual mountain. There is nothing strange on it. The spiritual energy is no different from other places. There is no divine spring, fairy mansion, or spiritual beast cave. It has only one characteristic, it is tall.

This mountain is only slightly smaller than Mount Sumeru. It can be said to be the second mountain in the West, but it is not included in the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas of Buddhism because it has nothing but greatness.

On this day, I and his party came to Lingshan. I looked at the golden mountain in front of me, looked at it for a moment and said:
"Tong'er, this is it, stop!"

Fu Zhu obediently stopped, and the green bull behind him exhaled two streams of white air like swords from his nostrils.

I walked step by step to the Lingshan Mountain, and Fu Zhu led the green ox behind him. Although there was no magic on this Lingshan Mountain, there were living creatures living here. Everyone looked at me and his party with curious eyes, and I did not chase them away.

Along the way I walked, everyone above the prehistoric quasi-sage and those who were not in retreat were watching him. They felt a little strange when they saw him coming to Lingshan.

This Lingshan has been in the west for an unknown number of years. Some people think that such a high mountain must have something magical, but no one has found anything here. It seems that it is really just an ordinary mountain.

I was sitting cross-legged on the Lingshan Mountain, and a Bodhi seed fell quietly and took root in the soil. He did not block the eyes of the supernatural beings, but just sat down to himself.

Gradually, the murmurs of Sanskrit sounds resounded throughout the world, and I was shrouded in Buddha light. The great supernatural being in the world exclaimed in surprise.

Zhunti even shouted out loud: "Impossible!"

As one of the two pillars of Buddhism, Zhunti could see clearly that the Buddha's light in this Lao Tzu was purer and grander than his own, and it indeed contained the true meaning of Buddhism and was not evolved by relying on the magical powers of saints.

As the sound of the Buddha gradually became louder, three thousand Buddha kingdoms appeared around Laozi, and countless monks and believers bowed their heads to worship, pray and chant sutras.

A new shoot suddenly sprouted from the land behind him, and a little light of wisdom fell. The new shoot continued to grow, including new shoots, branches, saplings, and saplings.

Finally, it grew into a towering tree. The breeze blew, the leaves rustled, and the divine light of wisdom shone on my head.
Mount Sumeru, which is hundreds of thousands of miles away, had a dignified look on his face, and he spit out three words: "Bodhi tree."

The Second Sage of the West was surprised and didn't know what I was going to do, so he could only continue to watch.

The bodhi tree, one of the top ten innate spiritual roots, has long been transformed into a standard. The bodhi tree planted by Lao Tzu is only the second generation, and it is only a middle-grade innate spiritual root.

Lao Tzu's voice gradually stopped. At this time, the Buddha's light behind him was already very grand.Covering the sky and blocking out the sun, illuminating the universe in all directions, anyone who looks at that scene will think that this is a Buddhist power.

Suddenly, I stood up, looked up at the sky, and said:

"The Way of Heaven is supreme. Today, I, Taiqing Laozi, feel that there is a lack of meaning in the Buddhist scriptures. Therefore, I established Mahayana Buddhism and look to the Way of Heaven to learn from it."

"I shall be the Buddha of Infinite Life!"

A thunder resounded across the sky, and a golden cloud of merit gradually condensed in the sky, split into three, and then fell. One part poured into Lao Tzu's body, one part poured into the Bodhi tree, and the other part fell on the heads of Fu Zhu and Qing Niu.

The golden light of merit filled Lingshan, reflecting the golden light of the entire Lingshan. In an instant, the spiritual energy of Lingshan increased sharply, the divine flower was bright, and the spiritual energy was dense. Many unintelligent beasts took this opportunity to successfully activate their spiritual wisdom.
The clouds are steaming, the smoke is lingering, the spiritual springs are gurgling, and the divine gold veins are growing. In just an instant, the originally ordinary Lingshan Mountain has turned into a holy land of immortals.

All the great powers in the world were shocked, especially the two sages in the West, whose expressions were very ugly. Since Heavenly Dao recognized the status of Mahayana Buddhism, it means that Buddhism is indeed deficient.

It’s not a big deal if there are flaws, there are flaws in the way of heaven, let alone humans!
But what makes people desperate is that this flaw was discovered by Lao Tzu, and he also took the opportunity to establish Mahayana Buddhism and share the fate of Buddhism.

There were loud and clear words one after another:

"There is only one Buddhism!"

Zhunti looked worried and looked at Jie Yin, but hesitated: "Senior brother..."

Jie Yin looked into the distance, as if his gaze spanned a hundred thousand miles, facing Lao Tzu on Lingshan Mountain without saying a word.

When Houtu Nuwa saw this, she was extremely fearful. She was indeed the most scheming old cunt among the saints. This wave of sweeping away money from the cauldron was really a blow to Buddhism.

……

Since Lao Tzu established Mahayana Buddhism, he has built tall buildings and palaces on Lingshan Mountain, opened up Lingshan Taoism, and recruited many disciples, as if he wanted to compete with the Sumeru Mountain Buddhist branch.

On the top of Lingshan Mountain, a two-foot-four tall Buddha sits on a golden lotus seat. Fu Zhu is still standing beside him, transformed into a little novice monk.

Surrounded by three thousand floating continents, there is a disciple on each island. Among them are creatures with deep roots and wisdom. They sit quietly and listen carefully.

"Contemplating the Bodhisattva, deep in the Prajna Paramita for a long time, I saw that the five aggregates are all empty, and I survived all the hardships. The relics are not different from empty, empty are not different, it is empty, empty is what it is, and it is also like this..."

Lao Tzu's majestic Sanskrit sound resounded through Lingshan. Whether it was the disciples on the Three Thousand Floating Islands or the disciples who came to Lingshan to pay homage, they were all fascinated by it and felt that they had understood the ultimate method.

Ultimate Nirvana, infinite light, immeasurable life, immeasurable pure land, universal salvation of all living beings, complete and flawless.

On this day, when Lao Tzu was preaching, a Taoist came up the mountain, with long hair and bare feet, and a warm smile on his face.

The Taoist walked through the crowd listening to the sermon on Lingshan Mountain, went straight to the top of Lingshan Mountain, came to the position closest to me, and said:

"Dare to ask Infinite Life Buddha, what is Mahayana Buddhism?"

All three thousand disciples also cast curious glances.The Taoist paid no attention to these glances and just stared at Amitayus Buddha.

I looked calm and looked at the Taoist in front of me quietly. He knew the identity of this Taoist. He looked around the three thousand disciples and said slowly:
"The so-called Mahayana Buddhism means living in the nature of the Mahayana dharma. In order to achieve the cessation of self and others, we do not need to be taught by a teacher, but have made the right vows and practiced expedients."

The Taoist priest in the audience looked ugly. This is trying to cut off the roots of Buddhism!

What Lao Tzu means is that as long as you understand Mahayana Buddhism, you can become a Buddha.

Hinayana Buddhism is supposed to overcome all the sufferings in the world of mortals before you can achieve the path and fruit of Bodhi. But now everyone believes that as long as you have enlightenment, you can become a Buddha, so who is going to practice hard?

Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no such people who can become Buddhas and immortals by their own enlightenment. The prehistoric history spans endless years, and there are so many talented people.

Such as the three ancestors of the human race in ancient times, and the other emperors except Huangtian.

But how many such people have appeared throughout the ages?These are people who can be counted on their fingers. If Buddhist practitioners all rely on enlightenment to become Buddhas, and waste time until they die of old age without understanding the method, then what future does Buddhism have?
So, the Taoist asked again:
"Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism are both Buddhist dharma. What's the difference?"

I picked up the flowers and smiled, and all the flowers in the spiritual mountain bloomed instantly, the divine flowers shone brightly, and the essence of heaven and earth gathered together.

"The world is a sea of ​​suffering. Hinayana Buddhism can cross it in a boat, but Mahayana Buddhism can't measure people."

The Taoist's eyes sparkled, he thought for a moment, and his eyebrows stretched, which indeed supplemented the teachings of Buddhism.

The Taoist bowed down and made a salute. In an instant, the color of the sky and the earth changed, the divine wind howled, and the three thousand disciples sitting on the suspended island instantly became unstable.

The Taoist is the self-corpse of the saint. The self-corpse of a saint represents the saint, and only heaven and earth can bear the saint's worship.

The saints shepherd and hunt sentient beings on behalf of heaven, which is the face of heaven. Even when Hou Tu reincarnated, the saints only performed a half ceremony, but today they performed a full ceremony.

The great supernatural beings in the world were also shocked, and the saints were even more surprised. However, what surprised the saints even more was that I actually accepted this gift.

Above the Nine Heavens, thunder was rolling, and purple arcs formed a power grid in the sky, and endless pressure came down from the Nine Heavens.

Lao Tzu looked indifferently, staring at the Taoist, the Taoist bowed and said:

"Fellow Taoists who complete the teachings of Buddhism should be my Buddhist Buddha."

Lao Tzu did not answer the Taoist's words, but said to himself: "Poor monk, Amitayus!"

The Taoist didn't refute, but just said again: "I have seen the Buddha of Infinite Life!"

Lao Tzu nodded in satisfaction and said, "I have seen Amitabha!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't know what the plot was.

On this day, Buddhism was unified and there was no distinction between Mahayana and Hinayana.

I know that if Buddhism is not unified, I will always keep an eye on him. It’s not that I’m afraid of them. It’s just that I have other things to do, so I can’t always fight with Buddhism!
Yingyin Zhunti recognized Lao Tzu's status as the Buddha of Infinite Life.

The Buddha of Infinite Life is ultimately perfect, has infinite light, infinite wisdom, and countless Buddhas. When you see it, you will see all the Buddhas in the ten directions. It can be said that he is the leader of all Buddhas.

This position is very respected, and it also means that Lao Tzu is respected by all Buddhas.

It's equivalent to our undercover agent becoming the enemy's boss.

This is the price for the Buddhist luck to be perfected, and it is also the reward of Lao Tzu's Mahayana Buddhism.

Everything in the world has advantages and disadvantages. Lao Tzu occupies a high position in Buddhism, and the Mahayana Buddhism he can bring does indeed supplement the Buddhist sutras, and the luck of Buddhism suddenly increases.

This cannot be said to be good or bad. Just like when a company starts up and someone raises funds, the company does become bigger, but it also has an extra person who can make money and give instructions.

Xumi Mountain, Zhunti's face turned livid, he looked at Jie Yin and said angrily: "Senior brother, we really let the guy from Shouyang Mountain make this Infinite Life Buddha!"

Jie Yin's face was dull and he said in a deep voice:

"It's just a temporary gain or loss. Over the ages, how many of my brothers and sisters have been defeated? We are all immortal beings, and we have a long time to come. It depends on our own methods."

Zhunti was silent, and he remembered something not so good.

They have been bathed in demonic energy since they were born, and they live in fear, fearing that Luo Hou will find them that day and wipe out their intelligence.

The first time I heard from Zixiao Palace, the two of them were the last to arrive, and they must not be shameless and offended Kunpeng to have two holy seats.

They didn't get the gourds from Zhoushan, and they got the least from the treasures from Zixiao Palace. The Calculating Demon Clan was blocked in front of their house and beaten.

Three saints were killed to prevent Xuan Yuanzi from attaining enlightenment, but he was the only one who was defeated. He was chased and beaten by Sanqing and Xuan Yuanzi who wanted to save Kong Xuan, and now he is sharing the power with me.

From the birth of Zhunti to today, it is really a history of blood and tears!
But he said that after I reached an agreement with Jieyin in Lingshan, I took Fu Zhu and Qing Niu back to the East again.

After years of development, the royal power of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had long existed in name only, the world fell apart, and one hundred and eight countries stood side by side.

The thirteen great powers dominate one side, namely Qi, Jin, Song, Chen, Zheng, Wei, Lu, Cao, Chu, Qin, Wu, Yue, and Yan.

I did not go to these thirteen great countries, but came to Fengjing, the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Today's Fengjing is no longer what it was 3 years ago. The city walls are still as tall as ever, full of marks from swords and axes and mottled by time.

But the flying fortress had long since disappeared.

Husbands led the green ox and carried Laozi on their backs, and entered Fengjing City. Looking around, there were very few pedestrians on the wide streets.

I sighed and said, "Tong'er, go to the Great Zhou Sutra Pavilion!"

"Yes, Grand Master!"

Pedestrians along the way didn't seem to see two people and one cow, and they were minding their own business.

When a group of people came to the Dazhou Cangjing Pavilion, Lao Tzu entered slowly and said to the husband:
"Tong'er, let's take a look at the books in the world over the years!"

Husbands said respectfully: "Yes, Uncle Master."

There is a saying that goes well, the youngest son, the eldest grandson, is the lifeblood of the old man.

Among the many disciples, the younger disciples are generally the most favored. Just look at Tongtian, who holds the Four Swords of Killing Immortals, the Six Soul Flags and other powerful weapons.

And later, after the Battle of the Gods, Hongjun saw that Tongtian had been defeated, and he quickly came out to seek justice. Even Laozi and Yuanshi each received a Meteorite Pill, and locked Tongtian in Zixiao Palace.

What kind of place is Zixiao Palace?Hongjun's Taoist temple can be said to be the first-class holy place in the ancient world. It is filled with the charm of heaven and earth. Can you not improve your cultivation by practicing in such a place?

This principle is also applicable to Lao Tzu. Fu Zhu is the first disciple of the four generations of Taoism, that is, Lao Tzu's great disciple.

That's why I took him on this trip, to listen to the first line of the Tao Te Ching in the world, to establish the merits of Mahayana Buddhism, and now he comes to this world to absorb the wisdom of all living beings.

According to their cultivation level, they only need to sweep away their spiritual thoughts, and they will naturally absorb all the wisdom, but Lao Tzu and Fu Zhu did not use their spiritual thoughts, but turned over scrolls of bamboo slips and recited them carefully.

From then on, a supreme saint disappeared from heaven and earth, and the Sutra Library of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty gained a guardian of the Tibetan Scripture Room.
