Chapter 1907 The Realm of the Buddhist Sect and the Buddhahood
"That's good!" Mingfa let out a long breath and asked again, "What is the realm of dust that senior brother mentioned?"
"I don't know much about this, so let's clear up my junior brother's doubts a little bit today!" Zen Master Mingyue heard that Mingfa asked again and had to answer, "When I was at Yunlin Temple, while my uncle was giving a lecture, I had to answer Occasionally, I talk about the nine realms of my Buddhist magical powers!"
"Which nine types?" Mingfa couldn't help but ask.
"Pindao only knows the four realms of forming good deeds, eliminating dust, being like dirt, and being clear." Zen Master Mingyue replied, "My uncle has never talked about the other five realms, and Pindao doesn't know either!"
"Does Senior Uncle Xinghai only have the Chen Realm? If...Rugu and Mingnuo, how powerful would they be!" Mingfa asked with some envy, "Oh, by the way, Senior Brother Abbot, you... …”
"Didn't the poor monk just say that? Unlike the Buddhist guardians, we don't need to emphasize the realm of cultivation!" Zen Master Mingyue said with a smile, "We just serve the Buddha with all our heart, wait for the merits to be achieved, and finally achieve Buddhahood. That’s the best ending!”
"Alas, how can it be easy to achieve the seven paths of Buddhahood in our Buddhist sect? But the achievement of Jialan Buddha is probably tens of thousands of merits, not to mention the subsequent venerables, kings of heaven, vajras, arhats, bodhisattvas and Buddhas. "The poor monk doesn't know how much merit and virtue it takes to achieve the three eternal Buddhas of Arhat, Bodhisattva and Buddha!" Mingfa smiled bitterly.
"As far as the poor monk knows..." Zen Master Mingyue hesitated and whispered, "Some Buddhahood cannot be achieved in one lifetime. It can only be achieved in two or even nine lifetimes!"
"Silk... is so difficult!" Mingfa took a breath, and then said angrily. "Earlier, the poor monk was ignorant and thought that this Buddha's fruit was the magical power of Buddhism. Now after listening to what the abbot said, the difference is huge anyway!"
"Brother Mingfa, don't be discouraged! When it comes to Buddhist magical powers, this poor monk has been practicing for more than ten years, but he has just stepped into the realm of cultivating virtues. If he wants to achieve the perfection of cultivating virtues, he may have no hope in this life!" Zen Master Ming Yue Encourage Ming Dharma, "But we are spreading Buddhism widely in Changsheng Town and revitalizing the Buddhist sect. As these merits accumulate, it is not impossible to achieve the fruit of Blue Buddha in this life!"
"Yes, I understand, disciple!" Mingfa clasped his hands together and lowered his head and said, "My Buddha is merciful and the door of Buddhism is widely opened. Whether it is cultivating supernatural powers or collecting merits, the road to heaven will be paved at the feet of us Buddhas! Disciples are willing to Jialan Buddha is the disciple’s lifelong pursuit and dedicates everything to me, Buddha Tathagata!”
"Excellent!" Zen Master Mingyue also clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "Junior brother, with such great ambitions, will definitely be able to achieve Buddhahood. The poor monk is very pleased!"
"Disciple, thank you, senior abbot, for clarifying my doubts tonight!" Mingfa stood up and thanked, "Disciple, I'm leaving!"
"Well, Junior Brother Mingfa,
The Immortal Buddha Ceremony ten days later will be my first time at Xiaojin Temple, so I must not make any mistakes. Get ready starting tomorrow! " Zen Master Mingyue stood up and ordered.
"Yes, I understand. Brother Abbot, please don't worry!" Mingfa agreed and slowly exited the meditation room.
"Alas, in a competition with Jiang Chaoguan, I really can't win! I don't know if Uncle Xinghai will agree~" Looking at Mingfa's leaving figure, Zen Master Mingyue sighed, "But, I guess he doesn't Are you going to watch me being chased away by the Taoist priests from Jiang Chaoguan?"
The two monks of Xiaojin Temple were thinking about the challenges of Buddhism and Taoism in ten days and were preparing for the Immortal Buddha Ceremony once every ten years. To the west of Changsheng Town, there was the Changsheng Academy, which covers an area of dozens of miles and is several times larger than Xiaojin Temple. During this time, bursts of loud reading sounds came from the academy, resounding in the night sky. And along with the sound of reciting, wisps of faint mist danced in the night sky, and a trace of inaudible brilliance also slowly swayed, covering the entire academy.
Within the brilliance, in a corner of the academy, next to a green bamboo forest, amidst the sounds of bamboo rhymes, in a small bookstore, there was another disdainful voice scolding: "Junfeng, you are a little reckless! Immortal! The Buddha Ceremony can be lively, but it is only celebrated in my Changsheng Academy. There is no reason for you to drag Xiaojin Temple to do it. A small temple actually wants to stir up trouble in Changsheng Town, and you don’t care about these monks. of virtue!”
"Haha, Mr. Tai'an is worrying too much!" As this voice fell, another voice sounded in the library. It was Zhu Junfeng, Dean Zhu of Changsheng Academy. He picked up the fist-sized lamp on the desk and looked at the gray hair in front of him. , but the slender old man, who was very energetic, smiled and said, "The young man just happened to be returning from an outing with a group of scholars outside the town. When he heard that Xiaojin Temple was having a bet with three Taoist priests from Jiang Chao Temple, he felt funny in his heart, so he spoke , I want them to know that in this town of Changsheng, I am the only one who can speak the truth! Both Xiaojin Temple and Jiangchao Temple are the same!"
"Well, I just feel that competing with Xiaojin Temple on the same stage and celebrating the Immortal Buddha Ceremony loses the identity of our academy! It's not that I am dissatisfied with the arrangement of the dean!" Mr. Tai'an nodded, "If we can continue the Immortal Buddha Ceremony to suppress Xiao Jin Temple’s arrogance is also great!”
"This is exactly what Xiaosheng thinks!" Zhu Junfeng explained, "In the past few decades, the Buddhist sect has spread Buddhism in the Hidden Immortal Continent and the Thousand Demons Holy Land. Although this does not violate the public opinion of our three continents, it can blatantly establish temples. , to save some people who don’t know right and wrong and fall into Buddhism, it affects my Confucianism cultivator’s rule in the Hidden Immortal Continent! Xiaosheng uses the Immortal Buddha Ceremony to make Xiaojin Temple suffer, just to give them a blow and make them suffer. Enough is enough! Don’t go to Longwangshu!”
"The Buddhist sect has great ambitions! My Confucian practitioners are already on alert!" Mr. Tai'an frowned, "The Buddhist sect has built temples in my Tibetan Immortal Continent and has spread Buddhism to an unstoppable level! However, my Confucian practitioners have been slow in building academies and teaching students in the Paradise! The Buddhists in the Paradise are very ignorant and it is difficult to teach them with benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness!"
"Even if it is difficult, we must face it head-on! Otherwise, how can we reach the realm of seeking knowledge?" Zhu Junfeng was also a little worried, "However, from what I have seen today, Xiaojin Temple has used some unscrupulous means to eliminate Jiangchao Temple. The Buddhist sect has excluded The desire to eliminate dissidents is really terrible! It is far from the broad mind of my Confucianism! "
"That's right! The abbot of Xiaojin Temple, named Mingyue Zen Master, was clearly sure of victory. He was sure that a Buddhist master who could defeat Yuanya would come in ten days, so he was tolerant and postponed the challenge from three days to ten days. He even used the bait of withdrawing from Changsheng Town to fool Taoist Xiao of Jiangchao Temple! The means are really despicable!" (To be continued.
