Chapter 718: The Dharma-Ending Period

"What kind of treasure is the Six Paths of Reincarnation?" Shi Xiaobao looked bewildered.

"I don't have much research on Buddhism, but I just heard that such a picture is very precious." Wang Zhu shook his head.

"I know something." Wen Jing said suddenly.

"Quickly tell me, what kind of treasure is that Six Paths of Reincarnation? If it's good, hehe..." Shi Xiaobao rubbed his hands together with a greedy expression on his face.

"Buddhism advocates the equality of all living beings. It believes that people from generation to generation are in the endless roundabout and have equal opportunities. After a person dies, there are six 'outlets' in the afterlife: either as a god, or as a human, or as a Asura, or as a beast, or as a hungry ghost, or go to hell. "The Long Agama Sutra" says that the destination of a person in the afterlife mainly depends on the performance in this world, such as accumulating goodness, and the lower caste can become the upper caste in the next life If there are many bad deeds, the upper caste will become the lower caste in the next life, and even fall into hell. All this is what Buddhism calls "reincarnation". The monster sits on the ground and hugs a large wheel-shaped circle. Around the circle are painted various figures and evil deeds such as burning, killing, raping, cheating, robbing, stealing, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and so on. Several air currents divide the round wheel into six lanes. In the first road, the majestic palaces and palaces in the five-color clouds are like a fairyland, which is called "the way of heaven"; in the second road, the market society and common people are called "the way of humanity"; Asura Road'; in the fourth road, male and female ghosts [, with smoke in their mouths, skinny as sticks, who are being tortured, are called "hungry ghost roads"; in the fifth road, pigs, dogs, cattle, horses, fish and insects are called "animal roads"; in the sixth road, sword mountains Ice valley, sea of ​​fire and purgatory, ghosts are suffering, which is called "hell way". This picture vividly warns the world to "do no evil" and "do all good", so as to achieve the purpose of persuading evil to do good. "

Wen Jing thought for a while, and then spoke.

"Damn it, the chairman said, we want to overthrow all monsters and monsters, what nonsense six reincarnations, it's all said in the book, kill people and set fire to the gold belt, build bridges and repair roads without corpses!" Shi Xiaobao snorted.

"It can't be said that way. Usually, religions that can stand in the long river of time have some advantages, just like the saying in Buddhism, 'Don't do evil', 'Practice all good', to achieve persuasion. The purpose of following good from evil is the right purpose, if you don't believe it, there is no need to slander it." Wen Jing said lightly.

"Wen Jing, have you studied Buddhism?" Wang Zhu didn't expect Wen Jing to know so much.

"Our family of writers can be unique. We have been fighting vampires for hundreds of years. We have collected the strengths of hundreds of schools. Although we don't believe in Buddhism and Taoism, we still study, especially Buddhism and Taoism."

"So that's it. By the way, Wen Jing, do you think the wheel of six paths exists?" Wang Zhu asked.

"Do you believe it?" Wen Jing glanced at Wang Chu,

His eyes were extremely deep.

"It's hard to say, the way I believe may be different from what you imagine."

"Tell me, what's the difference?" Wen Jing was taken aback for a moment, and then asked with great interest.

"The six realms may really exist, but they are not the heavenly realm, the human realm, the asura realm, the hungry ghost realm, the animal realm, and the hell realm as Buddhists say."

"continue."

"I personally think that there are countless spaces beyond the earth, and those spaces are collectively called the six realms by Buddhists."

"How do they differ?" Wen Jing asked.

"I think Buddhism should have a way to exile human souls to different dimensions. If the space environment is comfortable, it may be the way of heaven and humanity. If the environment is bad, it may be the way of Asura and hungry ghosts. As for the way of animals, then It should be a world without humans, with many ferocious beasts killing each other, and the souls of humans are attached to the animals."

"What about hell?"

"The realm of hell may be the most special place. Human beings will not find a physical body attached to their souls, not even animals. In that space, human beings should exist in the form of souls, and in this existence, there must be A ferocious soul devours the souls of others to achieve the purpose of strengthening oneself..." Wang said stupidly.

"Well, there is some truth, but how does the human soul reach the six realms?" Wen Jing asked puzzled.

"This is the Dharma we just mentioned, um, and Taoism. In the past, after the death of human beings, there would be monks and Taoist priests doing things. If my guess is correct, the so-called rituals are actually monks with powerful magic powers. A set of incantation exercises developed by Taoist priests, as long as the descendants complete the entire ceremony, even if there is no magic power, they can guide human souls into different dimensions."

"Everyone's good and evil are different, the cause and effect are different, and the retribution is different. How do monks and Taoists distinguish?"

"This... this... I can't verify it either. It is estimated that when the ritual ceremony is held, the spell can be identified by the human soul. After all, the soul cannot lie."

"Hehe, since this is the case, why is there such a situation as Xiaobao said, such as killing people and setting fire to the golden belt, repairing bridges and repairing roads without corpses?" Wen Jing sneered.

"It's not impossible to explain this." Wang Zhu hesitated for a moment, he thought of Qin Shihuang and the powerful soul of the square, "Some people, because their mental power is too strong and their willpower is too tenacious, even if they die physically, they can still achieve their will." Gathering strength without dispersing, not only can resist the spells of monks and priests, but can even dissociate from the six circles of reincarnation..."

"Dissociated from the six realms of reincarnation... vampires seem to dissociate from the six realms of reincarnation, and there are werewolves..." Wen Jing muttered to herself, dazed for a while.

"Yes, nothing is absolute. Moreover, in this world, there are not only two religions, Buddhism and Taoism, but also many powerful religions, such as God and Allah. Their believers are also tens of thousands. Exceeded."

"Well, if it's what you said, then every religion has some special mantras, just like Christian prayers and hymns and pastor's sermons, and Buddhist and Taoist rituals, etc., are also similar in purpose."

"Yes...Little Treasure!" Wang Zhu nodded, and suddenly saw that Shi Xiaobao had touched the door of a temple, and when he looked up, it was the Zhaofo Tower where the Six Paths of Reincarnation was enshrined. Wang Zhu was afraid that Shi Xiaobao would cause trouble, so he quickly ran after him.

If it was in the past, Wang Chu naturally did not believe in ghosts and gods, but now that he is a cultivator, he will believe it if he does not believe it.

As Wen Jing said, this Lama Temple has a respectable status and is a mysterious place of Tibetan Buddhism. There must be masters sitting there. If there is no conflict of interest, there is no need to offend. After all, Tibetan Buddhism is not a sect of Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism.

Among the three major sects of Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism has the least influence on the population, but it has the greatest influence. Every believer is extremely devout. However, under the influence of modern history, Tibetan Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism have been eliminated. Money corrodes and influence dwindles.

"It's okay, I'll just take a look."

Shi Xiaobao didn't have the slightest interest in Buddhism and Taoism, but he was very interested in some religious treasures, because all religious sacred objects were priceless.

Just when Shi Xiaobao was about to step through the threshold, a lama in red appeared in front of Shi Xiaobao without any warning.

"I want to burn incense, get out of the way."

The lama in red didn't speak, and lowered his head, blocking the door to prevent Shi Xiaobao from entering.

"Xiaobao, don't be rude!" Wang Zhu stopped quickly.

When the lama in red heard Wang Zhu's voice, he suddenly raised his head and stared blankly at Wang Zhu with a pair of triangular eyes that could hardly be seen. Gradually, the dumbfounded look in his eyes changed Turned into a look of horror, my thin body actually trembled.

"Sorry to bother you." Wang Chu didn't know how to address him.

The lama took a step forward and kept talking, but Wang Zhu couldn't understand at all. He was confused and could only ask Wen Jing for help.

"I don't understand either... Hey, I understand two sentences." Wen Jing said.

"what did he say?"

"He said relics, and the Dharma-ending era."

"Relic... what is the age of the end of the Dharma?" Wang stupidly realized that at the Sun Mountain Martial Arts Conference, Monk Jueming and Wu Xiong died in the ring after fighting, and then gave him a relic. It seems that, This lama is not simple, he can actually sense the relics in his body.

Wang Zhu had heard of the term "the end of the Dharma era", but he didn't know the exact meaning.

"The demon king Bo Xun said: In the Dharma-ending period, he wants his demon sons and grandsons to wear the Buddha's cassock, eat the Buddha's food, and destroy the Buddha's precepts and dharma. The merit boxes in ancient temples are for the believers to give alms, The opportunity to plant a blessing field is voluntary. Because everyone is busy doing things with peace of mind, and pays attention to holding the money precepts. You don’t come to receive money with your hands. If you want to donate yourself and put it in the box..."

"This is the Dharma-ending era?" Wang Zhu was taken aback.

"Yes."

"Then isn't now the Dharma-ending period?"

"Why do you say that?" Wen Jing was taken aback.

"There is no temple without a merit box, and no temple does not accept incense money! The high entrance fees of famous temples make it difficult for believers without money to visit the temple and pay respects to the Buddha. The three-way Bodhi taught by the Buddha has become a transaction. Is it the Dharma-ending era?" Wang Chu found that the lama in red seemed to understand what he said, and kept nodding.

"My understanding of Buddhism is only superficial." Wen Jing smiled wryly.

"This great monk seems to have something to say to me." Wang Zhu looked at the anxious red-clothed lama.

"Hey, stupid brother, could it be that you are expected to become a monk? Or, you can just get ordained here at the Lama Temple. In the future, we don't need to buy tickets when we come here, and we can get some good things out..." Shi Xiaobao hehe laughed.

While Shi Xiaobao was nagging, the lama in red suddenly walked up to Wang Zhu, stretched out his thin hand, and pointed a finger at Wang Zhu's forehead.

Seeing the finger pointing towards him, Wang Zhu hesitated for a moment and didn't dodge. He could feel that the lama in red didn't seem to have any malicious intentions...
