Rebirth of the Great Desolation: I am Red Cloud

Chapter 197 Buddhism and Taoism are only in a thought

After leaving Hangu Pass, Lao Tzu came to the western world and began to travel among the western countries. The purpose of Lao Tzu's coming to the West was to establish Hinayana Buddhism and promote the same flow of Buddhism and Taoism. Therefore, Lao Tzu has three things to do: The first is to find a suitable candidate to put Taoist Duobao from the Fenghuo futon into the mortal womb, so that he can take charge of the great religion with a body of Western blood, and the second is to find a dojo for Theravada Buddhism, which is the foundation of the religion. It is also a place for practice, and fortunately it is used for preaching. After the above two goals are found, Lao Tzu will spread the word to the world and announce the establishment of Theravada Buddhism. Achieving unity in Theravada Buddhism.

On this day, the three of Lao Tzu came to the boundary of Kapilavastu City in the west. Outside the city, there was a large lake with a circumference of no less than ten thousand li. A big island with a spiritual vein connected to the island, full of spiritual energy, full of giant whirling trees, full of long-lived fruits, and bursts of strange fragrance from time to time, it is indeed a good place, I took Xuandu , Kong Xuan went to this big island, took a look around in the island, felt quite satisfied with this place in his heart, and felt that this place was more suitable as a place for preaching, so he asked Xuandu who was leading the cow in front: "Xuandu, How do you see this place?"

Xuandu worshiped under Lao Tzu's door and served by Lao Tzu's side every day. His Dao heart is the most stable and he understands Lao Tzu's thoughts the best. Of course he understands why Lao Tzu asked this question. Pianhuze and the entire Kapiluowei Kingdom looked carefully, and said to Lao Tzu: "Teacher, although this place is barren, the people are simple and honest, and this lake and this island are not only rich in spiritual energy, but also extremely rich. The island is wide, full of long-lived trees, and rare birds and beasts play in the island, it can be regarded as a pure land, but it is a good place to preach."

Hearing Xuandu's reply, Lao Tzu nodded lightly, and in his mind, he made this island a place for the preaching of Hinayana Buddhism in the future. Kong Xuan was listening to the conversation between Lao Tzu and his disciples, and knew that Lao Tzu intended to use this island as a place for future preaching. He said to Lao Tzu, "Master, this is a good place to spread the word. Since Master intends to use this island as a place for Theravada Buddhism, why not create a new name for this island so that it can be spread throughout the wild. "

Kong Xuan’s words reached Lao Tzu’s heart. Since he has decided to establish this place as the Taoist temple of Hinayana Buddhism, he must give it a famous name, so that it can be spread throughout the prehistoric world. It’s just what should be called, Lao Tzu After some thinking, he couldn't think of a good name, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Seeing that Kong Xuan could mention naming this island, he might already have a draft in his mind, so he turned his head to Kong Xuan and asked, "Is it true?" What kind of name should it be, just for a while, but I can't think of any appropriate and catchy name, Kong Xuan, do you have a draft in mind?"

"Uncle, Kong Xuan did have some ideas in his mind. Just as Senior Brother Cai Xuandu said, these lakes and islands are covered with whirling trees, and they are considered to be a pure land. Why not call it the pure land of whirling, although it is more popular. But it's still quite appropriate, I don't know what master's idea is?" Kong Xuan spoke out his thoughts confidently, looked at Lao Tzu with his eyes, wondering if Lao Tzu would agree with the name he had chosen.

"Posuo Pure Land, Posuo Pure Land, um, good name, the purpose of establishing this Hinayana Buddhism is to promote the same flow of Buddhism and Taoism, Posuo can represent Western religion, and Pure Land can represent our Eastern Taoism, it is indeed appropriate, so this place is called Posuo Pure Land." After thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was really appropriate for Kong Xuan to name this island Posuo Pure Land.

Several people took a tour of this newly named Po Whirling Pure Land island, and it was indeed a beautiful sight. This island covers an area of ​​thousands of miles, is very wide, connected to the ground, rich in spiritual energy, complete with mountains and rivers, and what is even more rare is the island. The whirling tree among them grows the most gratifyingly. The tree species are transported by the wind, covering every corner of the island. With the breeze, the leaves rustle and there is a faint fragrance. It is indeed a natural scenery. , I feel that this place is suitable as a dojo for Theravada Buddhism.

Now that the dojo was established, I didn't delay, grabbed the Fenghuo futon from the horns, shook it away gently, and released Taoist Duobao. He was also the first disciple of Tongtian, survived the disaster, was caught by Lao Tzu and was trapped in the futon of wind and fire. He heard Lao Tzu's way of tranquility and inaction day and night. The head of the two teaching families can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, so as soon as Yi Duobao appeared from the Fenghuo futon, he bowed to Lao Tzu three times, thanking Lao Tzu for preaching to him.

"Duobao, you are the first disciple of Tongtian, and you have escaped from the killing of heaven and earth. It can be seen that your roots are deep enough, and your blessings are not shallow. A while ago, you got the approval of the Taoist ancestor, Hongyun made a plan, and made a plan for Buddhism and Taoism to flow together. , to maintain the prehistoric luck, to keep the balance between the Eastern Taoism and the Western sects, this matter has long been determined by the Heavenly Dao, and you have been selected by the Heavenly Dao to shoulder the important task of both Buddhism and Taoism. This island was named Posuo by Kong Xuan The pure land is rich in aura, which is quite suitable as a dojo for preaching, so you can reincarnate here as a Western Buddha and become a master of Hinayana Buddhism, how about it?"

Although Duobao was trapped in the wind and fire futon, he couldn't move his body, but his hearing was not hindered. All the way west, the conversation between Laozi, Xuandu and Kong Xuan was clearly heard, and he knew the saints in his heart. The decision is because I have already planned in the futon, and slowly waited for the establishment of Theravada Buddhism, but the Theravada Buddhism needs to be reincarnated and recultivated, and I can't let go of my own cultivation, but the way of heaven can't be both, But he had no choice but to agree, and then replied to Lao Tzu: "Since the number of days has been fixed, follow the orders of Master."

"That's good." Hearing that Duobao had no objection, Lao Tzu nodded lightly in response, and said nothing more, sitting on the ground in the middle of the mountain, silently reciting the moral mantra, surrounded by Xuandu, Kong Xuan, and Duobao All around Lao Tzu lowered their eyes, let go of the flaws in their hearts, and attentively comprehended the moral scriptures from Lao Tzu's mouth. Lao Tzu chanted the scriptures. At first, his voice was so small that Xuan Du and others who were close to him could not hear it. It is too clear that the Tao Te Ching is slowly recited faster and louder, but it resounds throughout the three worlds of the prehistoric and desolate. After chanting Yu Yan's Tao Te Ching once, Lao Tzu stood up in the air, with a piece of Qingyun about the size of an acre above his head. The Chaos Orb continuously emitted a chaotic atmosphere in the Qingyun. Turned into a golden bridge, running through the heaven and earth, rationalizing the earth's water, fire and wind, and the vast light shining on the prehistoric land. With the cloud on his head, I walked onto the golden bridge with my lone crutches, and shouted loudly: "Under the way of heaven, there are saints who set up a great teaching to educate all living beings, but the prehistoric world is still alive." The luck is constant, and there are many deficiencies. The Eastern Taoism and the Western sects are big religions, causing the heaven to be out of balance. The heaven has a feeling, and the saints discuss with each other to establish Theravada Buddhism, promote the same flow of Buddhism and Taoism, and guard the prehistoric times. Today, I am calling the world here , Theravada Buddhism was first established, showing the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of your hand, which can relieve the sufferings of the common people in the world."

The voice of Lao Tzu spread throughout the three worlds of the prehistoric and desolate. The sages set up teachings to transform the common people. The merits and virtues are always there, and all kinds of creatures pay homage to them. The number of days for this matter has been fixed. Being divided into Taoists Xuandu, Kongxuan and Duobao by Lao Tzu, the three of them were helped by the golden light of merit and virtue, their Taoism became more stable, and their Taoism increased rapidly. After performing the ceremony, the three flowers on the top of the head will be fully displayed, and the five qi in the chest will be fully displayed, and the moral mantra will be chanted non-stop. As the Tao Te Ching is sung, the three flowers on the top of Duobao will dissipate one by one, and the five qi in the chest will also dissipate. After going to the four realms, there is only the last vitality that cannot be dissipated, but it is the obsession in Duobao's heart that is affecting Duobao, and he will not be able to consummate in the end.

Now Duobao is in a hurry, cold sweat drips from his forehead, if he cannot dissipate the five qi in his chest, he will not be able to enter Hinayana Buddhism. Urgent, but disturbed by the obsession in my heart, the last vitality could not dissipate. After Kong Xuan collected the golden light of merit, he felt that Duobao was troubled by obsession and could not dissipate the last vitality. The golden light of merit and virtue, although not as much as Xuandu and Duobao, has received the benefits for nothing, right? If his thoughts are hindered, I will help him, which can be regarded as a good relationship.

"Buddhism and Taoism flow together, Buddhism and Taoism coexist, the number of days is fixed, what is Buddha, what is Tao, if there is a Buddha in your heart, you are a Buddha, if you have a Tao in your heart, you are a Tao, a Buddha is a Tao, it is only in one thought. Senior Brother Bao, is it the Buddha or the Tao, and where to go, are you still unclear?” Kong Xuan’s voice was like a heavy hammer, hitting Duobao’s heart hard, bringing a glimmer of clarity to Duobao who was troubled by obsession. Enlightenment.

"What is Buddha and what is Tao? It is Buddha and Tao. It is only in one thought. It is Buddha and Tao. It is true." After receiving Kong Xuan's suggestion, Duobao rushed away the obsession in his heart. After the last ray of vitality dissipated, Duobao, who had perfected his merits, laughed loudly and said, "It's good that the Buddha is the Tao. Then it is the Tao, and it turns out that the Buddha is the Tao, but it is so.”

"Buddha is Tao, but it is like this, hahaha." Duo Baoming realized that Buddha is Tao, Xuandu, Kong Xuan, and Duo Bao explained the fundamentals of Buddhism in unison, and then laughed loudly at the same time.

Duobao let go of the obsession in his heart, his merits and virtues were perfect, and his cultivation was dissipated amidst laughter. In the end, the true spirit escaped from his physical body, bowed to Lao Tzu, and entered into the wind and fire futon, while his physical body was At the moment when the true spirit escaped into the wind and fire futon, it shattered and turned into dust bit by bit, turning into dust between heaven and earth. So far, there is no more leader of the sect in the prehistoric world, no more treasures Taoist, some will be the leader of Hinayana Buddhism, Sakyamuni, Tathagata Tathagata.
