Journey to the West: Swallowing Giant Panda

Chapter 203 Great Sun Tathagata Buddha

There are green pines and bicypresses in the south of the mountain, and green willows and red peaches in the north.Noisy and noisy, the mountain birds talk to each other; dancing, the cranes fly together.

The five masters and apprentices walked all the way, all the way, and the atmosphere gradually opened up.

Tang Seng didn't have gratuitous resentment towards Monk Sha who worked hard.Although he criticizes the lazy Ba Jie most of the time, he loves Ba Jie very much.But in any case, he couldn't compare to his big apprentice.

Four people and one horse can occasionally joke around, and the time along the way is not slow.Encountering the bad things about the black bear spirit and some dirty things about Buddhism, not only did Tang Seng feel that he should not learn from the scriptures, but he was more inspired to learn from the scriptures, not only to save all living beings, but also to save Buddhism.

On this day, I saw the beautiful scenery in the mountains.

Tang Seng, who was riding on the white horse, was very happy: "Apprentices, look at the fairy mountain ahead, it is really a pleasant scenery."

Wukong raised his eyes and looked, the eyes were full of light, and he knew it in his heart.

Bajie looked forward, secretly calculated the boundary he was in, and laughed loudly at Tang Seng: "Master, this fairy mountain is naturally a pleasant scenery. There are great virtues in the prehistoric, and after entering Buddhism, although it is not on the Lingshan Mountain He is enshrined with incense, but he is also a rare and powerful person, named Zen Master Wuchao!"

"Zen Master Wuchao?" Tang Seng felt strange: "What a strange name, why is it so named?"

"Hey, well. Anyway, we're going to pass by the Zen master's mansion, and you'll understand after a while, Master." Bajie made a fool of himself, which made Tang Seng even more curious, but he didn't ask any more questions.

The four masters and apprentices walked for a while, and saw the Buddha's light lingering in front of them, and the breath of sandalwood was pleasant.

"Sure enough, he is a great monk. Even if he is so far away, he can still perceive this Buddha's light. I must pay my respects later." Tang Seng said, and saw a fragrant juniper tree appear in front of him.

The trunk of this fragrant cypress tree is as thick as five people hugging each other, and the trunk is several feet high. Although the top of the tree can be barely seen, it is not clear.Not only that, there is a firewood nest in front of the fragrant juniper tree.On the left, there is an elk holding flowers, and on the right, there are mountain monkeys offering fruits.At the top of the tree, there are green luan and colorful phoenix singing together, and black crane and golden pheasant gathering together.

"Master, hehe, now you know why this Zen master is called Wuchao, right?"

Tang Seng felt a burst of cold sweat in his heart instantly.Isn't such a firewood pile like a crow's nest?
"I know, I know."

When the master and apprentice were talking, they heard a burst of laughter from the pile of firewood: "Hehehe!"

Tang Seng subconsciously closed his voice, realizing that it seemed very impolite for him to talk about others at the door of other people's houses.

A bald old man flew out from the pile of firewood supported by Qingfeng.

I saw that the old man was wearing a big red cassock. At first glance, he looked like a newborn sun. The red was so dazzling that people dare not look directly at it.But after a while, the light weakened by an unknown amount, and gradually felt warm when it shone on the person's body, making him relax involuntarily.

"Hehehe, you waited for a group of five people to finally come here, it can be regarded as telling the old monk that I have to wait."

The old man stood still, looked at Tang Seng, his master and his disciples with peaceful eyes, and spoke slowly.

Tang Seng hurriedly got off his horse and bowed to salute: "It is the crime of the little monk to keep the Zen master waiting for a long time."

"Hey, it's not a crime if you don't know it. You don't know that the poor monk is waiting for you here, so what's the crime?" Zen Master Wuchao chuckled.With a wave of the hand, four wooden blocks appeared behind the four masters and apprentices: "Sit down."

Everyone didn't notice any difference and took their seats one after another.

"I don't know why the Zen master is waiting for the poor monk, master and apprentice?" After sitting down, Tang Seng asked me quickly.

Zen Master Wuchao smiled: "The purpose of this poor monk is to wait for the Buddha. First, to see if the five masters and apprentices have not yet come together. The monk Tang Sanzang of the Tang Dynasty? The Monkey King the Monkey King? The Marshal Zhu Bajie? Sha Wujing, the general of the curtain? Xiao Bailong, the third prince of the West Sea?"

Everyone nodded quickly, and Tang Seng responded, "It's the five disciples."

"Okay, okay, okay. Since the five of you have gathered together, it would be great. The poor monk has another mission to come here today. Sanzang, why do you go to the Western Lingshan scenic spot to get the scriptures? ?”

Tang Seng did not hesitate: "It is to obtain the Tripitaka Mahayana Buddhist scriptures. Therefore, the little monk changed his name to Sanzang!"

"Which Tripitaka is this?"

"There is a cloud in the Buddha's decree. In the scenic spot of Lingshan Mountain, there are Buddhist scriptures of my Buddha Tathagata. The Dharma talks about the heavens, discusses the earth, and crosses the ghosts. The disciple went to the scenic spot of Lingshan to obtain this scripture."

Zen Master Wuchao nodded: "That's very good. Tripitaka, Duobao Tathagata has ordered me to pass on a section of the "Heart Sutra" to you here. On the way to the west, there are many ghosts and monsters. You are a mortal body and you are afraid This "Heart Sutra" is the quintessence of Mahayana Buddhism, if you recite it every day, you should have less anxiety and fear in your heart."

Tang Seng's eyes lit up when he heard that Zen Master Wuchao came here to preach scriptures and Dharma for himself.Quickly stood up and knelt down towards the Zen master Wuchao: "Thank you, Zen master, for your hard work and coming to teach the Dharma to the disciple. The disciple listens attentively."

Zen Master Wuchao smiled, and opened his mouth lightly, and the endless Buddhist scriptures seemed to be heading towards Tang Seng from this mouth.

However, the Dharma is not passed on to the six ears. This scripture was only written in the spirit of Tang Seng, but it was not heard by the disciples around him.

Sun Wukong curled his lips in disdain: "Idiot, who is this old monk?"

Listening to Monkey King's question, Monk Sha was also puzzled.I have also been an official in the heavenly court for many years, why have I never heard of Zen Master Wuchao in Buddhism?Why did it appear here out of thin air today, and still bear the heavy responsibility of preaching the scriptures.

Bajie laughed: "Eldest brother, Lao Sha, have you ever heard that the Zen master just said Duobao Tathagata?"

The two frowned and nodded: "Exactly."

"Among the Buddhist schools, Tathagata is not the only one who is now high above the Lingshan Buddha. The title of Tathagata is the collective name of the Buddhas of Buddhism. Today, the one on the Lingshan Mountain is the current Buddha with many treasures. There used to be the Buddha who burned the lamp in the past. Buddha, there will be Maitreya Buddha in the future. There will even be Medicine Buddha Buddha and Great Sun Buddha.”

Hearing what he said, Sun Wukong was stunned immediately: "What does this mean???"

With infinite surprise in his tone, he pointed at Zen Master Wuchao: "This, this old monk is the Buddha???"

Bajie smiled: "Elder brother, you are right this time. This old monk is really a Buddha. And it is the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha who has lived in seclusion for many years!!!"

"OMG!!!"

"what?"

Monkey King and Monk Sha jumped up at the same time, the expressions on their faces were already distorted.Staring at Zen Master Wuchao, there was an expression of disbelief on his face.

Ba Jie looked inscrutable, if it wasn't for Master Xuandu, he wouldn't know the inside story.
