my infinite personality

It is said that Li Lin waved away, does it mean that Mahayana Buddhism really has no merit?No, Mahayana Buddhism certainly has merit.

But this is like a person who fell into the water. He is still some distance away from the raft, but he still has to thump to save others.

As a result, no one else could save him, and he himself drowned.

Turning around to talk about the Water and Land Conference, when Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva finished explaining a scripture, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was overjoyed and forgot about the country;

Emperor Taizong passed the decree to teach skillful hands to draw the real image of the Bodhisattva, but the auspicious cloud of the Bodhisattva gradually faded away, and the golden light disappeared in a short time.I saw a slip of paper slipped down in mid-air, with a few verses on it, written clearly.Song said:

"Greetings to the Great Tang Lord, there are wonderful writings in the west. The journey is one hundred and eight thousand miles, and the Mahayana is diligent. When this scripture returns to the Shang Kingdom, it can surpass ghosts and go out. If anyone is willing to go, seek the golden body of the true fruit."

As for where the Bodhisattva went, by the Weishui River, the lotus flower grew by itself.

Chapter 350 IX Talking about Cause and Effect by the Weishui River

Chapter 361 Chapter 350 IX Talking about Cause and Effect by the Weishui River

"Salvation of others, all living beings help each other to reach the other shore. This Mahayana meaning comes from the original intention of the World Honored One to found the sect, and it is not fallacious, but..." Li Lin walked by the Weishui River, looking Looking at my own reflection in the water, neither sad nor happy.

"How difficult it is."

In the water, a lotus blooms, and in the center sits a Bodhisattva with a peaceful face and a jade bottle in his hand.

"Avalokitesvara has seen Prince Buddha."

One is sitting on the bank, the other is riding a lotus in the water, and the Zen is self-generated.

"Is the Tang Dynasty strong? Bodhisattva." Li Lin asked about his background.

"Four major continents, countless countries, there are almost none that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Tang Dynasty." Guanshiyin replied.

"But they are still in pain." Li Lin looked at Avalokitesvara and said, it was a look of pity, but with a detached relief.

"The dignitaries are vying for power and profit, I can see the blood of my brothers staining the white palace walls; It's cold bones by the river..."

Putting his hands together, Li Lin heard all the suffering, troubles, and nameless karmic thoughts in the world.

"Looking at the three thousand whirling worlds, it seems that they are not living in this world, but suffering in this world."

"That's why there is Buddhism and Mahayana." Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said. "Relieve people from the painful life, talk about giving up, letting go, and enjoying bliss."

"This is the original meaning of Buddhism, the way of liberation."

"You and I have deviated from each other. Today, you and I will talk about the karma of karma? How about talking about Mahayana Buddhism?" Li Lin changed the subject.

"Six paths of reincarnation, karma, karma, and the laws and ethics created by the gods and Buddhas of the heavens enable people in the world to do good and good, and finally reach the other shore." Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said.

"But what this method creates is nothing but hypocrisy." Li Lin has already understood one of the great advantages of the six paths of reincarnation.

"Hypocrisy is also goodness, and it can become true goodness. Confucian sages said, observe their actions and words." Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said. "Also Han Zhaolie once said, don't do good because it is small, and don't do evil because it is small."

"Seeing the small things and knowing the books, that's all."

"It's a wonderful way to affect his body and mind with his actions." Li Lin first expressed his admiration, but in a flash, he changed the topic. "But the question is, is it only kindness that grows?"

"The karmic retribution of karma seems to make people do good, but it only increases people's selfish desires. It seems to be gradually reduced, but it just makes the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance more prosperous."

For example, those dignitaries who eat vegetarian food and believe in Buddhism, such as incense sticks, golden Buddha statues, and wanton release of life, spend a lot of money to do it.But if you want him to really help the poor, pay more wages, pay overtime, etc., it will kill them.

Giving money to the poor is better than paying homage to the Buddha.

"As soon as your Mahayana Buddhism comes out, the world will even more blatantly regard Buddha as a business."

Is there any problem with offering incense, offering money, and preaching?Avalokitesvara really didn't expect it.

Because of the Buddha's preaching, why did you accept other people's golden beans?

"Prince Buddha advocates asceticism?" Avalokitesvara thought of another school of Buddhist practitioners.

"My practice is only for one thought, for liberation." Li Lin sang. "From the observation of impermanence and selflessness, the liberation obtained by deeply understanding the extinction of dharmata."

"Prince Buddha is talking about the Three Dharma Seals again, but we must know that the world is changing, and the Dharma is also being updated. Besides the Three Dharma Seals, there is also the Reality Seal." Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said.

"Some are changeable, some are immutable." Li Lin said indifferently.

"Please Bodhisattva Haihan, Li Lin has another question, who will be the master of my teaching after the World Honored One dies?"

"Naturally, it is Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva, who will be born in the Saha world and practice Taoism in the future, and will become the next Buddha in the Saha world, introducing the Buddha position of Shakya Tathagata." Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said as it should.

"Is the Buddha prince here to tease the poor monk?"

This is common sense in Buddhism, there is no reason why Li Lin doesn't understand it.

"I don't know if the Bodhisattva knows that there was once a person who was a disciple of the Buddha when the Buddha taught the scriptures. He was No. 1 in the practice of non-attachment among the disciples of the Buddha. Endless." Li Lin asked again.

"Honor Kasyapa?" Avalokitesvara thought of that very ordinary sage.

"It's Moke Kasyapa." Li Lin already understood everything.

Mahakasyapa has a clean personality and is deeply trusted by the Buddha; among the disciples of the Buddha, he was given half a seat by the Buddha.After the death of the Buddha, he became the leader of the sect and convened the first classic assembly in Rajagha.

"Bodhisattva, let me explain what is cause and effect today. The so-called good cause and good result, and evil cause and evil result are not retribution on a person, let alone selfish desires." Li Lin walked barefoot on the banks of the Weishui River.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva suddenly felt a sense of horror, as if Li Lin was going to expound some heretical theory.

"When a person does a good deed, there must be good results, but the good results may not necessarily be repaid to him. It is a metaphor for a person who influenced a wicked person, but also hated the wicked person's enemy, so he was killed and robbed. gone."

"According to the theory of the Six Realms of Reincarnation, this person will be reincarnated very well in his next life."

"But is this really the case? One person influences a wicked person, but the wicked person does not do evil afterwards, so the good fruits actually fall on those who are likely to be killed by the wicked person, and even the wicked person saves others, and even more fruit is born. A concretized good fruit."

"Good fruit does not necessarily have anything to do with the person who does good."

Li Lin was talking about it, but Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's eyes widened, because this is the karma without the six realms of reincarnation.

"Similarly, if a person commits evil deeds, he may also enjoy a lifetime of blessings, but the evil karma he has committed must be borne by someone, and the person who bears it is very likely to be a good person or an innocent person."

Just like those black-hearted enterprises, such as pickled mustard, milk powder, vaccines, etc., those behind the evil deeds still earn a lot of income, but in the end it is the innocent babies and parents who suffer the consequences.

"Isn't this very unfair, very unfair, where is the law of heaven? People who do evil things enjoy a lifetime of blessings, but the karma is repaid on innocent people. This is some kind of karma, you evil heretic ” Mu Zha thought about it carefully, but the Buddhist principles of the person in front of him were so distorted, terrifying, and deceptive.

But in the face of Mu Zha's scolding, neither Li Lin nor Avalokitesvara had any reaction, only silently lamented.

"So, it's painful, but this is the truth of the universe as a whole, which is impermanence."

Chapter 360

Chapter 362 Chapter 360

"So, when I first realized karma, it was actually very painful. Because karma has nothing to do with good or evil, it's just a law of the world."

Li Lin was still stepping barefoot on the banks of the Weishui River, but slowly, the aura on his body came and went, as if it existed or didn't exist.

"In this case, what's the use of cultivating Buddha? What's the use of doing good?" Mu Zha looked to Guanyin Bodhisattva, hoping to get an answer.

His Buddha heart was shaken.

Mu Zha looked panic-stricken at the moment, as if possessed by a demon.

"Prince Buddha's Dharma practice is profound, and Avalokitesvara admires him." Avalokitesvara already understood.

She looked at Mu Zha, felt Mu Zha's shaken Buddha's heart, and then slowly explained what Li Lin hadn't finished saying.

"Indeed, it is not fair for one person's bad results to be borne by others; it is also unfair for one person's good results to be borne by others."

"However, it must also be noted that because of uncertainty, all people can have bad results; also because of uncertainty, all people can also have good results."

"But if everyone does good, then everyone will have good results; but if everyone does evil, then naturally they will fall into a self-destructive situation."

"And this is the realm of Mahayana Buddhism - saving people!"

"What? This is Mahayana?" Mu Zha understood in a daze. "But how is this different from the Six Paths of Reincarnation? They are all doing good deeds, but the cause and effect are uncertain."

"In this process, there is one more critical stage, and that is—"

Li Lin and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said in unison.

"Not only for yourself, but also for others."

Although it is also selfish, it is giving, so it is gradually selfless.

In other words, as long as everyone is willing to give a little love, the world will become a better world.

"It's a very simple truth, but ah, it's easier to know than to do." Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said.

Taking one step forward, Li Lin has come to his senses.

A beautiful flower blooms, but it will wither one day; in this world, life will not stop for a moment... It is always moving and changing. This is impermanence, and so is human life. so.

A person dies, but his karma circulates in this world forever.

The World Honored One has passed away, but his Dharma and karma still save the world.

"I, I got it!" Li Lin breathed out lightly.

Stepping out with one step, the brilliance was suddenly brilliant, the holy aura soared into the sky, and the endless, pure and holy aura turned into light and rain all over the sky.

I saw Li Lin's body surrounded by lotus flowers, surrounded by eight dragons, turning into a pure glass world, the pure land of Buddhism.

With lapis lazuli as the ground, there are majestic trees lined with seven treasures, the height of which is five hundred yojanas, the branches and leaves are dense, and the flowers and fruits are abundant.

Gold opens eight vertical and horizontal avenues for the rope world. There are no traces of civilization such as settlements, village camps, and cities, and there are no natural environments such as seas, rivers, mountains, and forests.

However, huge precious incense is burning everywhere, mandala flowers are all over the earth, treasure nets and mantles are densely covered in layers in the sky, and precious bells are hanging everywhere...

"Congratulations to the Buddha prince for understanding the meaning of Mahayana and the Alaya Consciousness." Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva congratulated him, and the gods and Buddhas in the sky also felt the birth of a real Buddha in the world.

The eighth sense, Alaya Consciousness, is also known as Tathagata Tibet.

The Alaya Consciousness of all sentient beings is originally there, perfect and pure, beyond the world, the same as Nirvana.

That is to say, everyone has Buddha nature, and the Lingshan Mountain of the Western Heaven is not here, not there, not in the middle, nor in the world of the Western Heaven, but the Lingshan Mountain is in everyone's heart, on the top of the Lingtai.

Beyond the ultimate realm of the seventh sense, beyond the sense of life and death, those who have attained the eight consciousnesses are already true Buddhas in Buddhism and true immortals in Taoism.

Death is not the end of everything. The saints who have lived in this world, they all transcend life and death.It is precisely because he was the first to realize this point that he successfully broke through the seventh sense.

"I am the Buddha, and I am the ignorant circulation of the World Honored One. Everyone is the karma of the World Honored One, and everyone is the reincarnation of the World Honored One."

"Heaven and earth, I am the only one!"

With a deep sigh, it turned out that the Buddha on Lingshan Mountain was not false, but a form, the karma of the World Honored One.

but.......

"After all, it is necessary to debate and argue, not to seek inwardly, but to seek outwardly. Although there is great wisdom and great ambition, it will not be liberated in the end."

Watching Li Lin's figure disappear into the Buddha's light, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was pleasantly surprised at first, but soon panicked.

Gein, Li Lin's words didn't cover up too much, the two are really like, things are really going to be bad, it depends on how the Buddha handles it.

"Buddhism is booming, it's booming, alas!"

"Bodhisattva, that guy, he... unexpectedly..." Mu Zha stammered.

Meanwhile, the gods of the Weishui River, the Dragon King of the Jinghe River, and many other gods and dragon lords who secretly listened to the debate are also wondering whether it is true or false at this moment.

Could it be that the Lingshan is fake, but it’s not right, it’s the real Tathagata who has been doing it for who knows how many years.

But if this is fake, then it shouldn't be.Because if it was fake, it would have been killed long ago, so what's the point?

Deliberately dispelling this misunderstanding, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva couldn't help but speak.

"The Taoist school has the three treasures of Tao, scriptures, and teachers, and my Buddhist school also has the three treasures, namely the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha."

"Buddha treasures are all Buddhas who have the spiritual power and perfect wisdom developed from enlightenment, and all Buddhas who have Buddha body and Buddha virtue;"

"Sangha, all Buddhists practice truthfully, if they can take up the responsibility of practicing Buddhism and promoting Buddhism, they are called Sangha."

"And the last treasure is the dharma treasure. The dharma body is true and equal, neither increasing nor decreasing. It also has immeasurable constant sand merits and virtues. It can satisfy all the pure dharmas and enable all living beings to realize Nirvana, escape from suffering and obtain happiness."

"Among the three treasures, the monk is himself, and the Buddha is superhuman. Only the Dharma is not exclusive to humans. It is universal to all living beings and applicable to all three thousand worlds."

Said, but did not understand.

All the little gods didn't know why, but the big gods who watched the show almost understood it.

"But even if they are all true, we still have to argue." In the palace of Tushita, the old gentleman was refining the pill with a smile, thinking it was very interesting.

Originally, the Tathagata family was the only one, but in the end, there came a Dafa practitioner who is applicable to all three thousand worlds.

On the Lingshan Mountain, the Tathagata Buddha's expression remained unchanged, and he still preached scriptures for the Buddhas and Arhats.

"If it is like the Buddha of the Hinayana, there is no self outside the heart, no false seeking, and everything is complete, the Buddha is only an enlightened one, and cannot save people, but can teach people to save themselves. However, in the world of life, there is karma with all things in the world. Retribution, the Hinayana law is actually seeking fish from a tree, which is not in line with the truth of impermanence."
