Monks

Chapter [-] Shakyamuni

So Zhang is afraid that he will directly state the purpose of this trip. [26nbsp;] Hearing his confession, Shi Zun's face changed slightly, and he said: "Fellow Daoist is from the upper realm, from the upper realm, well, can you tell me how the upper and lower realms are divided?"

Shi Zun is cool enough, he always calls himself himself in front of people from the upper world, but he calls Zhang Fear a Taoist friend, which shows how big his heart is.

Hearing this question, Zhang Afraid looked at Shizun and the two monks beside him thoughtfully again, thought for a while, and didn't want to talk nonsense, so he asked directly: "Just tell me what you want to do?" Shizun heard the words , Hehe smiled, the smile was broad and upright, full of compassion, but Zhang was afraid to find something wrong in it, as if he had a plan.

This discovery made Zhang afraid completely confused. What exactly does the great monk want to do?

To put it bluntly, although Buddhist practice is said to be indifferent to the world and to spread benevolence and love, in the end there is always something to be desired.If you talk about it in the big way, you want great harmony in the world, and everyone in the world is good;These two things are very normal, and it is not a plan, so what is the monk's plan?

It's a pity that Zhang Ai asked directly, but Shi Zun didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked him: "Are you cultivating the Tao?" Zhang Ai nodded and said, "Yes." As a cultivator, I really want to ask, are there Buddhists in the upper realm?" Zhang Ai shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Fellow Daoists don't know? Or are you unwilling to answer this question?" Shi Zun continued to ask.

Afraid of being annoyed by the question, Zhang said casually, "Whatever you think, I'll just say a word to you when I get here. I'm willing to kill people, just don't mess with the stars."

After hearing this, Shizun shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, "Forgive me for not being able to agree to what fellow Taoist said."

Zhang Ai smiled, shook his head at the same time and asked, "Say it straight, what do you want?" Shi Zun pondered for a moment, and said, "Buddhism seeks the equality of all living beings, and you are above the Buddhist gate. Something is wrong."

Hearing this sentence, Zhang Fear had no choice but to snort, he knew what the great monk wanted to do.If the guess is correct, the Great Monk wants to control the entire Buddha Realm and ascend to the same position as the God Realm, to become the same place.

Thinking of this, Zhang was not only helpless, but also admired Shizun's great idea, what kind of brains did he have to come up with this idea and have the courage to implement it.Just one thing, can the Buddha Realm really ascend?Out of the control of the starry sky, where can he go?And what is outside the God Realm where I am?There are 33 days in the God Realm, and I have never seen even a layer of sky. Who knows what the 33 days look like, and what it looks like above the 33 days?

Because of one of Shizun's great ideas, Zhang was afraid to follow his imagination, and he suddenly discovered that living is actually a question, a constant contact with unknown things, and a constant exploration and understanding of more things.At that moment, he smiled helplessly again, and sighed: "You should be older than me, I'll call you big brother, let's stop making trouble, shall we?"

Cultivators respect strength, and only those who are afraid of this virtue will talk nonsense and call everyone brother.The great monk who only met a god in the upper realm and a god in the lower realm was called elder brother. No one would believe him when he told it.Even Shizun was a little startled, and said in a low voice, "I didn't make trouble."

"You didn't make a fuss? Well, you didn't make a fuss. Let me ask you, if you succeed in making the Buddha Realm separate from the countless starry sky and become a separate place, standing side by side with my upper realm, what if there are still people in the upper realm? What about the upper realm? You are still tossing about the Buddhist realm and continue to rise? I don’t even ask you whether your whimsical idea will succeed this time, but just talk about your thoughts, alas, it’s really weird.” Zhang Ai said.

What he said was very good and right, but it was a pity that Shi Zun didn't listen, and said in a low voice: "I have thought about these things. If there is an upper realm above the upper realm, or even an upper realm, this lord So he continued to ascend with more than [-] Buddhist great virtues, always standing outside the world, the highest peak is."

After talking just now, Zhang was afraid that he knew that Shizun was unwilling to submit to others, and believed that Buddhism is one of the great traditions in the world and cannot fall behind any orthodoxy, so he took great pains to struggle out of the starry sky controlled by Xingyuan.But he didn't expect that Shi Zun really had big ideas, and he had to toss endlessly just for a reason that he didn't want to be behind others.

At that moment, he chuckled and said, "You are really thoughtful, but after thinking about it, must your thoughts be correct? Listen to me, don't worry about it, you must spread benevolence and kindness, and save all living beings. There are countless people in the starry sky, etc. I want you to rescue them, don't toss about these illusory things here."

His persuasive persuasion was useless to Shizun's ears. The great monk smiled and said, "Illusionary? Dare I ask my friend, before you have reached this level of cultivation, do you think that the upper realm is also an illusory thing?"

Hearing this question, Zhang Ai smiled lightly and said, "I guess you will be disappointed. Before I came to the God Realm, I thought about how to avoid it every day. As for whether the God Realm is illusory or not, I never thought about it."

This answer is very surprising. Even Shizun, who has practiced Buddhism for a long time and has cultivated the indestructible Buddha body, did not expect Zhang to say that. In his opinion, all practitioners, especially high-level practitioners, must be extremely diligent Motivated.If a person seeks to forge ahead, he will naturally yearn for the God Realm. How could Zhang Fear be an exception?

Practice this thing must be diligent!Talent is the prerequisite, and hard work is the main reason for success in cultivation. Of course, the more important reason is luck. About this point, I am afraid that Zhang has personally verified it many times. Life is full of sunshine, although there will be ups and downs occasionally, but after the ups and downs, there will be a bright road in front of you, so that you can cultivate to the God Realm smoothly, and even survive the unreasonable horror of the catastrophe. It can also be easily survived, which shows how lucky this guy is.

But Shi Zun didn't know Zhang Ai's origin, he was a little surprised when he heard that this guy didn't want to ascend to the God Realm, so he took another look at Zhang Ai, wanting to see what happened to this different person from the God Realm.

After watching it for a while, and remembering his purpose, Shizun asked, "What do you think is the strength of the Buddha realm?"

Zhang Ai nodded and said: "Not bad." Of course it is not bad. In terms of strength alone, Buddha Realm is the strongest one in countless starry sky.Any Buddhist cultivator has to go through countless calamities. After years of hard work, he finally achieves some success in cultivation and comprehends the principles of Buddhism before he enters the realm of Buddhahood.In other starry sky, there are all kinds of people, there are a lot of masters and low hands, and they fight when they have nothing to do. No matter how many masters there are, they can't stand fighting every day.

Hearing Zhang Ai's recognition of the Buddha's strength, Shi Zun said again: "This is the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss in the Western Paradise, where countless Buddha cultivators admire and pursue their lives. Some Buddha cultivators have succeeded and come here to become one of the Buddhas. These Buddha statues come from multiple starry skies, they have endured various hardships and tests in their respective starry skies, and after they succeeded, they came to the Buddha realm, just for this point, I asked my friend, don’t you think the Buddha realm is very similar to the upper realm?"

Zhang Ai nodded and said, "It's kind of like it." Shi Zun continued: "That's it. As far as I know, there is only one world in the upper realm. There is an incomparably huge land with mountains, rivers, and Buddha realms; the upper realm is the same. Each of the gods has to achieve something in cultivation, and they can only become gods after going through the catastrophe. These people come from various starry skies, and the Buddha realm is the same; the upper realm is different from the starry sky below, and even the cultivation methods are different, and the Buddha realm is also the same. Let me ask you a question, the Buddha Realm and the Upper Realm have so many similarities, and the Buddha Realm is full of super masters, why should the Buddha Realm be behind the Upper Realm and controlled by the Upper Realm?"

Speaking of this, looking at Zhang Fear with calm eyes, he suddenly smiled and continued: "Buddhist cultivation and Taoist cultivation are two different orthodoxy, we have to be responsible to countless Buddhist disciples, and we cannot entrust our fate to your hands. , we want to create our own world and create our own Buddhaland.”

The great monk said in detail, Zhang was afraid to listen to it with a wry smile, he was thinking about one thing in his heart, Jieyin and the big man, and even Qingyin said that guarding Xingyuan is the most boring and safest job. I don't bring out anything, but I have only been in Xingyuan for a year, and I am playing rebellion in the Buddhist realm. I don't know if other Xingkong will join in the fun.

After Shizun finished speaking, Zhang Ai smiled wryly and said, "Great monk, stop making trouble and create a Buddha realm? Do you think creating a world is so simple?" He pointed at a desert in the distance, and said softly : "I want a river there." After speaking, a river channel appeared in the desert immediately, with clear water meandering, stretching far to the end of the desert.

Seeing Zhang Fear's method, Shi Zun nodded and said: "This is the method of a god, we have the method of a Buddha." After finishing speaking, he clasped his palms together and whispered the Buddha's mantra, and suddenly golden bricks and tiles appeared in the air, stacked one by one. At one point, a moment later, a golden temple appeared in the air beside the two of them.

Ordinarily, this can be regarded as the ability to create something out of nothing, but Zhang fears that it is not a creation, and compared with his own means, it is completely different.Immediately said softly: "You know, this doesn't count."

Shi Zun didn't argue with him, he raised his finger to a grassy slope below, and said softly: "Then this counts?" As the words fell, a lotus flower suddenly bloomed on the grassy slope, each of which was shining brightly and cleanly. Slowly blooming among the greenery.

Seeing that Shizun was so persistent, Zhang Afraid shook his head and said, "It doesn't count. You can make flowers, you can build temples, but they are just some small tricks cultivated by the Buddha for many years. They are powerless to create the world."

The key point of this sentence is the last four words, Zhang was afraid to say it to Shi Zun with an emphasis.Shi Zun thought for a while and said, "Not at this time, it doesn't mean it won't happen in the future, just like building a temple to produce white lotus, it will happen now, but it won't happen at the beginning."

Zhang Fear said: "You are right in saying that. It is a pity that the world, the universe outside of you, and the universe of stars all have their own rules. If you violate them, you will be destroyed. You don't have the ability to change the world, so don't take it lightly." Touching this boundary, in other words, even at this time, you Ten Thousand Buddhas Dynasty, using the supreme Dharma to free the Buddha realm from the control of the law of the starry sky, but do you have the strength to support a world?"
