Chapter 987: Pure Land Sect
As the monks improved, the golden light from the Buddha's Eye Relic swept over the Dao Fetus, and the Dao Fetus vibrated slightly, seeming to be quite comfortable. Then, it separated hundreds of divine thoughts, each of which fell into the sea of consciousness of a practitioner to help them practice.
Zhang Jun was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that this Buddha's light could be so useful. He immediately stopped ** and turned to focus on feeling the changes in the divine thoughts in the sea of consciousness of everyone. Something surprising happened to him. Because the monks were devoted to Buddha, they naturally had a wish, and these wishes were all integrated into his divine thoughts without a trace, strengthening his divine thoughts. And the divine thoughts can in turn improve the spiritual level of these monks and make their practice go further.
Buddhism focuses on spiritual practice and regards the flesh as a stinking skin bag. There are countless methods of practice, some difficult and some easy, some high and some low. But no matter which method of practice, it is very difficult for ordinary people, and only a very small number of people can embark on the path of practice.
"Since Buddha's light can help others practice, I can borrow the Pure Land Sect's method of chanting Buddha's name. In this way, I can not only strengthen my power of mindfulness, but also help ordinary people practice." This idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
The Pure Land Sect, also known as the Lotus Sect, is one of the Buddhist sects in China, with a long history and far-reaching influence. The common saying "eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name" refers to the basic practice method of the Pure Land Sect, which is simple and easy to understand. The Pure Land Sect practices rebirth, that is, after death, one can go to the Pure Land of Bliss to live a comfortable and happy life.
The Pure Land Sect believes in Amitabha Buddha. According to the Buddhist teachings, Amitabha Buddha and Sakyamuni are one, but they show different views. When monks meet people, they have to chant "Amitabha Buddha", which is what they are talking about. Speaking of Amitabha Buddha, we have to mention Guanyin Bodhisattva's Mahasthamaprapta Bodhi.
According to Buddhist scriptures, the two great Bodhisattvas and Amitabha Buddha preside over the Western Paradise, known as the Three Saints of the West. Guanyin Bodhisattva and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva are the leading Bodhisattvas there, assisting Amitabha Buddha together. Due to the popularity of Guanyin Bodhisattva in China and Southeast Asian countries, it can be known that the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is widely spread.
Zhang Jun had heard of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the Buddha's country. Zen Master Huankong and others had even entered the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. The "pure water" used to treat him to tea last time was taken from the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Sun Xiaochan himself was born in the Pure Land Sect. He once told Zhang Jun that the Pure Land Sect was part of the Buddhist world. Due to the decline of Buddhism, most of the Pure Lands are currently closed, and the great powers that opened up this small world have long since disappeared.
He also told Zhang Jun about the development of the Buddhist world. After the Buddha opened up the spiritual realm of the Daluo level, his followers attached themselves to it and gradually established the Buddhist world with it as the core. After the Pure Land Sect was established, the first great bodhisattva who opened up the Pure Land connected the small world of the Pure Land Sect with the Buddhist world, thus becoming a part of the big world.
The rest of the Zen Sect, Tantric Sect, etc. are all like this. Although they all have their own small worlds, they are still part of the Buddhist world. Sun Xiaochan also told Zhang Jun that in the Buddhist world, the more active the small world is, the closer it is to the core of the big world. When a small world finally enters the core of the Buddhist world, it even has the opportunity to become the dominant force of the big world.
This is true not only for the Buddhist world, but also for the Taoist world and even the Western apocalyptic religions. For example, in the Heaven World, the Orthodox Church is one of the main small worlds, and the Catholic Church is also one of the main small worlds. Both are part of the Heaven World.
"If I plant a divine thought in the sea of consciousness of everyone in Southeast Asia, and then teach them the method of chanting Buddha, can I restart the Pure Land Sect? Even make the Pure Land Sect the core of the Buddhist world in the end?" As soon as this idea came out, he was shocked. In that case, wouldn't he be the Buddha?
As a person who studies Buddhism in depth, he naturally knows that Buddha is not a person, it is a state, a belief. When the state is reached, you can become a Buddha. The Buddha even believes that everyone has a Buddha heart that is blinded by the world, and has the potential to become a Buddha.
Of course, this method cannot be used by others. No one can have 560 trillion divine thoughts like him. Even when the time is right, his divine thoughts can even be divided into ten, becoming 560 trillion divine thoughts. You should know that when ordinary people cultivate their souls, the number of times their souls split is generally no more than ten times, which is only a few hundred divine thoughts.
When most Guizhen cultivators condense their souls, the number of their divine thoughts does not exceed one thousand, which belongs to the ninth-grade soul. If a cultivator's soul splits nineteen times, it is a seventh-grade soul, which is already very remarkable. The number of divine thoughts he has is only a few hundred thousand or hundreds of thousands.
If a cultivator only has a few hundred thousand or millions of divine thoughts, how can he plant a divine thought for all hundreds of millions of people? Even if a person has a billion divine thoughts, he will never dare to do so. Because once the number of divine thoughts used exceeds one percent of the total number of divine thoughts, the cultivator's own practice will be affected.
But even if Zhang Jun divides one percent of his divine thoughts, it is more than 500 billion, which is a thousand times the population of Southeast Asia! Therefore, the method he came up with could only be implemented by himself. Others could not learn it at all, nor did they have the ability to imitate it.
While he was thinking, another early-stage return-to-truth cultivator actually broke through to the middle stage, and the noise he made immediately woke him up. He thought to himself, now that he has the doctrine and the method of cultivation, can he establish a religion right away? He said, "Please spread the word on my behalf. Three days later, I will establish a religion in Myanmar and call it Pure Land Buddhism!"
When Zhang Jun was preparing to establish a religion in the Indochina Peninsula, a group of great gods of the Indian Church were discussing the "Snow Mountain Goddess". The discussion lasted for half a day, and finally the Church decided that they would use extraordinary means to capture Su Mei and bring her to India.
A day later, the five Indian gods left India and went to Tianxing Country. However, as soon as the five gods appeared in the territory of Tianxing Country, Xiaoqiang knew it.
In the computer room, the signal monitoring device issued a piercing alarm. This monitor judges and locks the powerful masters of the supernatural realm who invaded Tianxing Country by monitoring the changes in the mind communication signal, which is very accurate. As soon as Xiaoqiang got the news, he immediately gave an order, and soon thirty level 10 gods and twenty light armors received the order. They rushed to the scene together and were ordered to snipe the invading enemy!
These thirty level 10 gods had just broken through to the fifteenth level a few hours ago. The reason why they were able to break through was because of the magical effect of the blood-soaked pill.
