Rebirth: Out of Demons and Into Buddhas 2

These emotions were staged one after another, which could have attracted the attention of the Jingfu demon body, but the Jingfu demon body didn't notice them at the moment.

He stared at the point of Buddha's light floating in front of him, with an unpredictable expression.

This is not an ordinary method.

Or to be more precise, this is not a method that Jing Fu can detect.

Thinking about what Venerable Ananda has done during this period...

"Send purple bamboo leaves, go to Putuo Mountain Dharma Conference to give lectures, preach the true inheritance of Zen Buddhism, rectify the name of the first ancestor of Zen Buddhism, and send a portrait of Venerable Kasyapa..."

'This venerable has done many things. '

'Then the question arises, what happened to this Venerable Kasyapa?As a result, all beings in the heavens and the universe began to gradually ignore his existence and forget everything about him? '

After the demon body finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at the deity.

Perhaps it is normal to ask the Buddha body about matters related to the Buddhist lineage, but the devil body feels that this may not only be a matter of Buddhism.

The Buddha body is also looking at the deity.

The deity was silent for a moment, "You guys overestimated me, and I never knew it. '

Neither the Buddha body nor the demon body moved their eyes away.

The deity then said, 'It will not be the action of the magic gate. '

'If Venerable Kasyapa is really as Venerable Ananda said, he was praised as the number one dhuta by the World Venerable Buddha Sakyamuni, and Venerable Ananda is running around for him like this, planning from all sides, if it is really a demon The door has shot at this venerable, whether it is a Buddhist door or a magic door, will it be quiet? '

Taoism is actually the same.

The demon body nodded, 'So, is this Venerable breaking through? '

Anyone who breaks through will be robbed.What kind of thunder calamity, heart demon calamity, wind disaster, and fire calamity are all calamities to break through.

'It would be great if it was the Heart Demon Tribulation, I also want to see the methods of those big Heart Demons.Alas, what a pity...'

The Buddha body also smiled, "Yes, it is indeed a pity that I have not been able to truly see the methods of subjugating demons of these great Buddhists. '

The devil turned his head to look, and the Buddha turned his head to look. The eyes of the two were colliding, and neither of them took a step back.

The deity didn't care about the two of them, but said thoughtfully, "Since someone or even a group of people is not behind the plan, then it is a natural disaster caused by the induction of heaven and earth?" '

It is rare for Jing Fu himself to become interested in the current situation of the Venerable Kasyapa.

He faintly felt that as long as he kept going down, maybe one day he would encounter similar difficulties.

Both the Buddha body and the demon body also looked away, and began to seriously think about the issue of Jing Fu's deity.

After a while, the Buddha said first, "It's very possible."After all, Zen Buddhism originated from the heart, and this patriarch is the No. 1 who took over the mantle from the Buddha Shakyamuni. His Tao probably has a lot to do with this. '

The demon body also nodded, "In Buddhist theory, all things in the world, and even the rules and principles, should be combined with the four characters of formation, dwelling, destruction, and emptiness."And the lineage of Zen... You can see from the "Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra" that it focuses on emptiness. '

'All living beings here, first based on a word.It is to establish a foothold in this universe first, and then to pursue eternal existence. '

'This Venerable Kasyapa seems to be being wiped out of his own existence and reason by the heaven and the earth. '

The World-Honored One, Shakyamuni Buddha, has already proved the Tao. For the entire universe, he is the Tao.

Dao exists forever in the world, it is the foundation of the evolution of heaven and earth, and it will not be worn down after thousands of calamities.

Therefore, as long as there are living beings in this universe, even if the Buddha Shakyamuni did not deliberately exaggerate and preach to all living beings, all living beings will still remember his existence, and his stories will be passed down from generation to generation.

Even if the world enters the Dharma-ending era, even if there is a great demon who overthrows the Buddhist Taoism, it can only distort his principles and harass the monks, and cannot truly erase the existence of the World Honored One.

Even the heaven and earth itself cannot do it.

As for the venerable Kasyapa, let's not mention it first, he just talked about the koan of the Buddhist school.There are two protagonists in this koan, Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha and him.

The World Honored One Buddha Shakyamuni has lived through thousands of kalpas without grinding, and the heaven and the earth cannot distort his existence, and the world still knows that he is the teacher of all Buddhas.But what about this Venerable Kasyapa?

His name has been obscured, and even faintly replaced by Venerable Ananda, and even their branch of Zen Buddhism, such as Miaoyin Temple, is ignorant of his existence...

This is not that he is gradually disappearing from the world, what is it?

However, looking at the appearances of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and even the Arhats at the Mount Putuo Dharma Conference, it seems that they have not been affected.

Is it because the situation of the Venerable Kasyapa is only showing signs and has not really deteriorated, so is it like this?

So, how did this happen?

The Buddha body frowned and thought for a while, and said to the deity and the demon body, "I read the "Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra", and I know that the entire "Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra" is empty.But in my opinion, this emptiness is not the emptiness misunderstood by others, but the emptiness that has nothing but the mind, nothing but me, is not moved by external objects, and is not disturbed by appearances. '

'"Diamond Prajna Paramita Sutra" talks about emptiness, but in emptiness there exists an eternal and unique self that neither increases nor decreases. '

'This me is me, not me. '

The deity of Jingfu and Moshen listened carefully to the explanation of Buddhashen, and did not bother him at all, nor did they remind him of the golden Buddha's light shining between his brows at this moment.

This is the principle of Buddhism that is truly revealed after the dust is removed from the body of the Buddha.

It is the foundation of his true Buddhism in the future.

The Buddha body was completely unaware of these changes in appearance, and he still seriously explained to the deity Jingfu and the demon body, but even so, he couldn't help but feel that his thoughts were getting smoother and smoother at this moment, and he didn't need to do anything. Organize your language so that you can express yourself precisely and accurately.

In the end, it seemed that the body of the Buddha really had a sense, and what he said was a little less uncertain.

'The Venerable Kassapa broke through this time. What he really needs to fight against is not this world, but the Buddhist principles he has practiced for so many years. '

'He needs to see the self in the empty Buddhist principles he has comprehended for many years. '

'And the self he sees needs to be very strong, clear, and bright, so that he can withstand the torture of this emptiness of Buddhism, let the light of the self shine through the world, and truly imprint his mark on the world . '

After finishing speaking in such a breath, Jingfu Buddha finally came to his senses, "It should be like this? '

The demon body snorted, "What should be and shouldn't be?"Yes it is, no it is not.Say what should not be. '

The Buddha body opened its mouth and was about to speak, but the demon body cut off the words first, "That's right, you are just a joyful step in the ten lines now, why should you guess the real key points in the Venerable Arhat's journey through the catastrophe?"Let's say this sentence again when you go further and can see the figure of others. '

The Buddha body rarely murmured and shut up.

Although Moshen's words are a bit unpleasant, but the truth is really the same. He is a little monk, what can he use to guess the cultivation of other big arhats?

But it's just a joke.

The demon body of Jing Fu won a game, and he hummed twice proudly, only taking the embarrassment of the Buddha body at this time as his own victory prize to appreciate.

But in fact, only the Buddha body does not know that the devil body is holding its breath because it is a step slower than the Buddha body.

However, Jing Fu's three bodies are one, even if the Buddha body was temporarily dulled by the little enlightenment just now, he soon awakened.

He narrowed his eyes, swept away the embarrassment just now, and smiled at the demon body, "Yeah, I'm just a little monk who is happy to walk the realm now."But I have no way of guessing the path of Venerable Nakassapa. I can now see farther than before.And you?What's wrong with you? '

The devil's body was stabbed a little, but he just smiled at the Buddha's body without saying anything.

They all know that the demon body is actually admitting defeat...

The Buddha smiled smugly, but just as he turned his head and looked away, he saw Jingfu himself sitting in the middle of the sea of ​​consciousness.

Jing Fu himself gave him a flat look.

The Buddha body quickly withdrew the smile on his face, straightened his face and looked at the devil body, and urged, as if changing the subject, "You have to pay attention to the outside..."

Just as he said this, all the great monks in the abbot's meditation room outside had come to their senses, and then looked at Jingfu one after another.

If anyone here knows the reason, probably only Jing Fu.

Abbot Qingyuan asked Jing Fu directly, "Jing Fu, do you know what's going on?"

The Jingfu demon body never wanted to hold on to the Buddha body.At this moment Abbot Qingyuan asked him, and he withdrew his mind back to his physical body.

"I don't know either, but it's a bit of a guess..."

Then, he also summed up the guesses of the three bodies in the sea of ​​consciousness, and after deleting, deleting, modifying and modifying, he explained it in detail to the great monks in the meditation room.

The great monks in the meditation room were really shocked by Jing Fu's conjecture.

The Great Monk Qingdu looked around at the fellow disciples, and waited for them to ask Jing Fu, "You mean, it is very likely that Venerable Kasyapa is breaking through...he is still facing his Dao Tribulation?"

Jing Fu nodded.

Abbot Qingyuan followed up and asked, "If...if Venerable Kasyapa can't pass this test..."

Jing Fu did not answer.

He really couldn't answer this question.

Abbot Qingyuan took a deep breath, trying to stabilize his mind, "We need to do something."

All the great monks in the meditation room also nodded their heads, with a little panic on their faces, but they were still able to control it after all.

The lineage of Zen is passed down from the Buddha Sakyamuni Buddha.However, the World Honored One Shakyamuni Buddha is the teacher of all Buddhas. When he passed on the mantle of Zen Buddhism, he was already enlightened. It was the ancestors of Zen Buddhism who truly practiced the principles of Zen Buddhism and led the disciples of Zen Buddhism to go forward step by step. .

And Miaoyin Temple...

Although Miaoyin Temple has been established for many years, the Dharma lineage has always been intermittent and not clear.Until Jing Fu retrieved the "Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra", the Miaoyin Temple based on the "Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra" could be regarded as the real Dharma lineage of Zen.

It is also because Miaoyin Temple has not been included in the Dharma lineage of Zen Buddhism not long ago, these great monks in Miaoyin Temple do not know much about the real inside story of Zen Buddhism.

But this does not prevent the great monks of Miaoyin Temple from paying homage to the ancestors of the Zen lineage, and thanking the ancestors for passing on the Dharma lineage and opening up the road.

It also does not prevent them from worrying about their ancestors.

What's more, Venerable Kasyapa is the true first ancestor of the Zen lineage.Every step that the first ancestor took was his approach to the Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha, and it was also the direction for the disciples of Zen Buddhism.

But if possible, none of them would give up the Patriarch.

However, the general direction is so determined, but how to actually practice it is really a headache for the great monks of Miaoyin Temple.

They didn't know how to help this patriarch at all, and even if Jing Fu put away the Buddha's light at this time, they couldn't guarantee whether they would still remember this patriarch.

Even the memory of this patriarch is vague. With all the troubles in Miaoyin Temple, where would they have the energy and time to work hard for this patriarch?

Abbot Qingyuan looked at the Buddha's light in front of Jingfu, raised his gaze, and looked at Jingfu again.

"Does Patriarch Ananda have a decree?"

Jing Fu looked at the Buddha's light in front of him, and then looked at the inner room where Abbot Qingyuan had just walked out.

All the great monks followed Jing Fu's gaze and roughly guessed what Jing Fu meant.

"Patriarch Ananda didn't have a clear statement. He only told us to try our best to prosper the Dharma lineage and respect the Patriarch, and he didn't mention anything else."

Abbot Qingyuan thought about it and nodded, "That's right, we disciples couldn't do much."

Jing Fu reminded him, "So Master Abbot, please invite the portrait of Patriarch Kasyapa to Patriarch Hall as soon as possible."

The prosperity of Miaoyin Temple is almost conceivable. What they need to do at present is also what they can do. There is really only one thing.

Abbot Qingyuan also nodded, "Okay! I will definitely pick an auspicious day as soon as possible."

In order to prevent the great monks of Miaoyin Temple from blurring the impression of Venerable Kasyapa and delaying the work, Jing Fu thought for a while and took out an empty lamp from his bag.

The moment the empty lamp was taken out of the bag, the great monks Qing Yuan and Qing Du all guessed what Jing Fu wanted to do again.

Abbot Qingyuan opened his mouth, wanting to stop him, "Jing Fu, I can't..."

After all, he told Jing Fu not long ago that he was not an example!

The words are still in his ears, he can't break his promise.

In Jingfu's sea of ​​consciousness world, the Buddha body also called out in a low voice at the same time, 'Demon body. '

Jingfu Moshen responded in the sea of ​​consciousness first, "Don't worry, I didn't intend to force Qingyuan. '

Without even looking at the expression on the Buddha body, Jing Fu's demon body looked at Abbot Qingyuan, "Don't worry, Master Abbot, I won't do anything more. It's just..."

"Can you borrow the inner room with me for a while? I want to try...see if I can ask for the divine power of Patriarch Ananda, and use his power to maintain our memory of Patriarch Kasyapa."

Abbot Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Jingfu's words, and then he thought about how successful Jingfu's approach was.

Qing Du and other great monks thought about it, and all looked at Abbot Qing Yuan.

Abbot Qingyuan naturally understood what they meant, and he really wanted to let Jingfu try it.

After all, they are still able to maintain a clear impression now, obviously because of the divine power of Patriarch Ananda.If they ask Patriarch Ananda for help, maybe it is just in line with Patriarch Ananda's wishes?

Abbot Qingyuan thought about it, and no longer hesitated, he directly said to Jing Fu, "I'll be with you!"

The demon body of Jingfu followed Abbot Qingyuan to the inner room of the abbot's meditation room, while handing over the control of the physical body to the Buddha body.

Thinking of the scroll enshrined in the altar in the inner room at the moment, and just in case, Jing Fu did not put away the piece of golden Buddha light, and let it illuminate the inside and outside of the meditation room.

Abbot Qingyuan actually wanted to ask Jing Fu to put it away, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything, and only looked at the great monk Qingdu.

The great monk Qingdu understood in his heart and nodded quietly.

Only then did Abbot Qingyuan feel relieved to lead Jing Fu into the inner room.

After turning around the partition between the inner room and the outer room, the first thing that caught Jing Fu's eyes was the high Buddhist altar placed in the inner room.

From the eyes of Jingfu Buddha's body, the Buddha's light is shrouded outside the altar, and the golden color spreads and stretches into the void, which is very solemn.

A real Buddhist treasure.

It was the first time that Jingfu demon body saw this Buddhist altar in the inner room of the abbot of Miaoyin Temple, and now he looked a few more times through the eyes of the Buddha body, and couldn't help being amazed.

'The accumulation of Miaoyin Temple... is actually very extraordinary. ’ But as he spoke, his thoughts scattered, ‘I don’t know what will happen at Tianjing Temple. '

The Buddha body ignored him.

The demon body didn't care, raised his hand and stroked his chin, then looked at the deity of Jingfu, "My deity, when will we find a chance to go to Tianjing Temple to open our eyes?" '

The deity of Jingfu really didn't care much about these things, but when the demon body became interested, he didn't stop him, just said, "It's up to you." '

The demon body already knew what answer he would get before asking the deity, and his original intention was not the deity, but the Buddha body.

So he just turned his eyes to look at the Buddha body.

'Buddha body, what do you think? '

The Buddha body replied lightly, 'No way. '

While dealing with the demon body, Jingfu Buddha body has already looked at Abbot Qingyuan, "Master Abbot, this Buddha statue?"

Abbot Qingyuan was also quite proud at this time.

"This Buddha statue was erected when my Miaoyin Temple was first opened. Now that it has been passed down for so many years, it can be regarded as a climate."

Jing Fu went to look at the Buddha statue again.

Abbot Qingyuan added, "It's not just this Buddha statue, the one enshrined in the Daxiong Hall in our temple, the one enshrined in the Patriarch Hall, and the one enshrined in the Bodhi Court... .It was almost handed down from that time.”

"In addition to these, my Miaoyin Temple has accumulated many Buddhist treasures one after another for so many years. It is indeed not comparable to Tianjing Temple for a while, but compared with Miaotan Temple and Miaoli Temple. It's not bad at all."

"So..." Abbot Qingyuan turned his head to look at Jingfu, with a serious face, "You really don't have to worry too much about the temple."

"The opportunity you get is your own, just use it in your own practice. After you have gained something in practice, you just don't want to add a little bit of heritage to the temple, and we old guys don't agree. of."

This is telling him again.

Jing Fu had no choice but to bow his head silently, put his palms together and bow to Abbot Qingyuan.

"Don't worry, Master Abbot, the disciple knows it well."

Abbot Qingyuan sighed, but his eyes fell on the empty lamp in Jing Fu's hand pointingly.

"It's good that you really know something in your heart."

The demon body wanted to laugh when he heard it, and he really laughed too.

'He really regarded you as a Sanbao boy, Buddha body? '

The Buddha glanced at him and reminded him, 'You gave him the scroll just now! '

Although he was indeed the one who thought about it first, it was the demon body who actually handed over the scroll.If he were Sanbao boy, the demon body would not be able to escape.

The demon body stopped talking.

Just now Jing Fu asked Abbot Qingyuan, "Uncle Abbot, has your disciple gone?"

Abbot Qingyuan nodded.

With Abbot Qingyuan's permission, Jing Fu came to the altar with the empty lamp in his hand.

He first placed the lamp on the altar in front of the altar, right in front of the portrait of Venerable Kassapa.Then he took the incense sticks prepared by the side, lit them again, held them in his hand and bowed straightly to the Buddha statue in the altar three times, closing his eyes and praying silently.

Perhaps it was because Venerable Ananda had the aura of Venerable Ananda on Jingfu, and Venerable Ananda had paid attention to him for a long time. Maybe it was also because Venerable Ananda was really inspired. The empty lamp in front of the altar now had a little golden flame burning quietly.

A column of smoke rose above the incense branch held by Jing Fu, but the column of smoke did not drift with the wind, but condensed and lingered towards the lamp, and then condensed into a ball at the bottom of the lamp, holding up the lamp A little golden flame in it.

Even though the bottom of the lamp has only been condensed into tiny clumps, it has been able to support this little bit of flame, and it seems to continue to support this flame to burn, which is quite miraculous.

Jing Fu took a careful look.

'This flame seems to have something to do with... heart fire?Is it the heart or the will? '

The demon body sensed it, and replied to the Buddha body, "It's the power of vows." '

'It is the power of will. The deity also nodded, "Verish Ananda probably wants to collect the vows of all living beings for Venerable Kasyapa. '

Jing Fu inserted the incense stick in his hand into the incense burner, and stepped aside.

Abbot Qingyuan took a second look at the lamp, and seemed to have noticed something, and without waiting for Jingfu to remind him, he stood in the place where Jingfu retreated.

Burning incense, praying silently, and offering incense, a series of movements are smooth and flowing, which is very pleasing to the eye.

After Abbot Qingyuan inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner, he directly greeted Jing Fu, took Jing Fu and went out to invite the great monks sitting outside the meditation room.

As Jing Fu walked, he looked more at Abbot Qing Yuan.

Abbot Qingyuan was thinking about something at first, but after noticing Jing Fu's gaze, he raised his head to look at Jing Fu.

Seeing Jing Fu's expression, he thought for a while, and first smiled at Jing Fu, "I haven't actually seen Patriarch Ananda either."

He sighed, and told Jing Fu the truth, "It's just that I got some telepathy."

Jing Fu was silent for a while, and his footsteps paused for a while. While they were still in the inner room, there was a restriction on the interval between the inner and outer rooms, so that other monks would not be afraid to hear it.

"I don't have telepathy."

Abbot Qingyuan couldn't help showing some surprise, he even stopped walking for a moment.

Jing Fu looked at Abbot Qingyuan seriously, and repeated, "Uncle Abbot, I really didn't get any telepathy."

Only then did Abbot Qingyuan confirm that Jing Fu meant something.

He thought for a while, and finally looked at Jing Fu and asked him directly, "You mean..."
