Chapter 1980 The Deep Meaning of the Buddha!

Xuanzang said, "Didn't the deity come to watch the ceremony at the invitation of the Buddha? Today is the day when the poor monk was enshrined. To have the deity visit, Xuanzang is really grateful."

Playing stupid and pretending to be stunned, the kung fu is first-rate, Su Hang said, "Whether you can understand what I'm talking about or not, I just want to tell you one thing, if today's grand ceremony can be successfully completed, that's all. Will just sit back and watch..."

Having said this, Su Hang looked at Xuanzang in the next year, "You should know what I mean, this time is no longer what it used to be, you should know the consequences of playing with fire."

Xuanzang paused for a moment, then smiled without saying a word.

The Venerable Avalokitesvara next to him was puzzled and was completely confused. What is the Venerable Guanyin talking to Xuanzang? How do you feel in the fog? As if playing some charade?

He wanted to ask, but he didn't dare. After all, the person in front of him was a god, an expert of the same generation as the Taoist ancestor. Unless the old man took the initiative to ask him, otherwise, how would he dare to intervene?

He looked at Xuanzang suspiciously, and Venerable Avalokitesvara was even more puzzled. Xuanzang had changed so much, he was not at all like Xuanzang before. What made him so calm in front of the gods?

Su Hang didn't speak anymore, he believed that the person beside him had already received his warning.

...

Time passed slowly, and the Tathagata Buddha's Zen lecture had come to an end, and it lasted for three to five hours. Many people present were already drowsy after listening to it. Those who are not interested in Buddhism are simply not used to listening to Buddhism.

However, there are also some monks who have benefited a lot from the Buddha's lectures on Zen. After all, Buddhism and Taoism are all one family, and Buddhism, Taoism and Dharma have something to learn from each other. Also very experienced.

Some people were mesmerized, while others were sitting on pins and needles. It was not until the afternoon that the Tathagata Buddha seemed to realize the point, stopped talking, and officially started the ceremony of conferring the fourth Buddha of Buddhism.

"Zhan Tan Gongde Buddha, Tang Xuanzang stepped forward to accept the seal!" Tathagata said.

Some monks who were dozing off suddenly regained their energy. Everyone's eyes turned to Tang Xuanzang who was sitting with the god in the corner.

"Xuanzang, the Buddha is calling." Venerable Guanyin quickly reminded.

Xuanzang smiled slightly when he heard the words, got up slowly, and walked towards the high platform in the square with a sassy manner.

The surrounding Buddhist music sounded, and the monks sang the Buddha, turning into a lotus flower of Buddha Dharma, which bloomed in the air and fell slowly, creating a beautiful scene.

Tang Xuanzang was wearing a brocade cassock, holding a Zen stick in his hand, and walked up slowly in rhythm. His temperament and appearance instantly became the focus of the audience.

If it wasn't for breaking through the realm of Tianzun suddenly, how many people still know that there is such a Zhantan Gongde Buddha in Buddhism? But at this moment, he stood at the focal point. Those who looked down on him before can only look up to him now.

Pride, glory, all of these are brought about by strength.

Su Hang watched from a distance, just shook his head, this battle is really extravagant, Buddhism pursues all four things, how can we continue to engage in such a situation, of course, Su Hang also understands, Buddhism wants to flourish, it must use this Making a big fuss in order to spread faith, some situations have to do it, but, in this way, it is to discard the basics and chase the trivial, which violates the original intention of Buddhist practitioners.

In Su Hang's eyes, only ascetic monks can be regarded as true Buddhist practitioners.

"Xuanzang paid homage to my Buddha."

With a calm demeanor, Xuanzang walked up to the high platform slowly, stopped, held a staff in one hand, and lightly threw the pestle on the ground, with the other hand on his chest, he bowed slightly to salute the three Buddhist saints.

When the Tathagata Buddha saw Xuanzang, he frowned slightly. He, who was always sensitive, felt that there seemed to be something missing in Xuanzang at this time!

That's right, there is indeed something missing, a little respect for the Buddha. At this time, the Tathagata Buddha seems to have no sense of Xuanzang's respect for him.

Tathagata's brows quickly relaxed. If he hadn't been a caring person, he might not have seen anything wrong with his expression just now.

"Xuanzang." The Tathagata spoke, his voice was like thunder, as if there were thousands of echoes, and people's ears were buzzing, "You were originally my disciple, Jin Chanzi, who was reincarnated in the lower world to spread the Dharma. Practicing in the world, the merits and virtues will be perfect in the end. Today, breaking through the realm of the Buddha is really the luck of my Buddhism. Now I will confer on you as the Buddha of Merit and Virtue, and I will bestow you with the golden lotus of the ninth grade of merit and virtue, and enjoy the incense of the ten realms of Buddhism..."

Immediately, Tathagata Buddha spread out his right hand, and a golden lotus flower flew out of his palm, and slowly flew in front of Xuanzang.

Golden lotus of merit and virtue, this is the highest sacred object in Buddhism. In the entire Buddhist school, there are not many people who have received this holy object from the Buddha, but there are also many. The Buddha bestowed merit and virtue on the golden lotus.

But the golden lotus of merit is also divided into high and low. This lotus platform is just differentiated from the twelfth-grade golden lotus sitting down by the Buddha. Naturally, there are three, six, and nine grades. But it was a little embarrassing.

Ninth-grade golden lotus is a rare item in Buddhism, but it is not so rare. Including Guanyin Puxian and others, there are at least twenty or thirty Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who have obtained ninth-grade golden lotus.

The Buddha gave Xuanzang a ninth-grade golden lotus. Doesn't that mean that in the Buddha's heart, Xuanzang's status is comparable to those of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas?

You know, after Xuanzang was enshrined, he was the fourth Buddha in Buddhism. How could he be ranked with other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas? If so, what kind of Buddha can he be called?

Outsiders don't understand the way of doing this, but many Buddhist disciples present know it clearly in their hearts. Everyone's eyes are on the ninth-grade lotus platform, and the scene seems a bit awkward.

Among them, Avalokitesvara was also stunned. The connotation of the ninth-grade lotus platform bestowed by the Buddha is really too deep. Even if it is her, she feels a little bit aggrieved by Xuanzang at this time.

The two venerables Anan and Kassapa standing behind the Buddha had a sneer on their faces at this time. The meaning of the Buddha bestowing this nine-grade lotus platform could not be more obvious. Even if Xuanzang became the fourth Buddha, his status would only be comparable to that of ordinary Buddhas. No difference.

It's nothing more than the name of a Buddha. A newly promoted Buddha, also wants to be equal to the Buddha?

The eyes of the two of them were clearly looking at Xuanzang's joke at the moment. Before, they were worried that Xuanzang's becoming a Buddha would be detrimental to the two of them, but now it seems that worrying is completely unnecessary. In the eyes of the Buddha, Xuanzang Zang is just a tool to boost the momentum of Buddhism, what is the value of others?

Xuanzang looked at the ninth-grade lotus platform in front of him, and he didn't know if he understood the deep meaning contained in it, so he stretched out his hand and held it in his hand.
