Chapter 1139 Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands

Thousands of places pray for thousands of places to answer, and the sea of ​​suffering is often used as a boat to cross people.

According to legend, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was born in Miaozhuang Kingdom a long time ago, and the king was called Miaozhuang King.

He has three daughters. The eldest princess loves to dress up, wearing heavy makeup every day, wearing red and green; the second princess sings and dances all day long, eating, drinking and having fun;

King Miaozhuang was getting old, he thought, to whom should the throne pass?

The eldest princess and the second princess spend their days drinking and drinking, and don't know how to make progress. The third princess is virtuous and upright, and she is born smart, which is more suitable.

Therefore, King Miaozhuang made up his mind to find a son-in-law for the three princesses, so that they could start a family as soon as possible.

One day, King Miaozhuang said to the three princesses: "Son, the eldest son of the prime minister has learned a lot, and he can match my son. I want to ask the old master to be a matchmaker. How about it?" The three princesses just shook their heads with tears in their eyes.

A few days later, King Miaozhuang said again: "My son, today's champion of the new discipline is outstanding in learning. Would you like this marriage?" The three princesses shook their heads again after hearing this.

In a few days, King Miaozhuang came again: "Son, you must be satisfied this time. The son-in-law I found for you for your father is the richest man in the dynasty. His family has a mountain of gold and a mountain of silver——"

Before King Miaozhuang finished speaking, the three princesses shook their heads violently: "Father, my daughter is not willing. My daughter is willing to serve her father and never marry for life."

When King Miaozhuang heard the third princess said that he would never marry, he immediately turned blue with anger, jumped up and shouted: "Bold beast, you dare to disobey the will of your father! Tell you the truth, today's marriage, whether you want it or not, It must be done! Get married today, engage tomorrow, and get married the day after tomorrow!"

Early the next morning, the new son-in-law's family came to give the dowry gifts, and gold, silver, pearls and agates were continuously transported into the palace by carts. King Miaozhuang was overjoyed when he saw it, and hurriedly ordered the maid beside him to invite the three princesses to come and see how honorable and honorable it is to be married to such a wealthy family!

Gong'e was ordered to go, and after a while, she ran over in a panic: "Your Majesty, it's not good! The third princess is missing!"

King Miaozhuang also panicked when he heard the report, he stamped his feet and said, "Come on, hurry up and find the third princess!"

In an instant, the palace was in chaos, with maids and eunuchs running around searching for it.

King Miaozhuang sent people to search everywhere again. After half a year, he found it in the Baique Temple on Peach Blossom Island in Zhoushan.

The third princess has become a nun and her legal name is Miaoshan.

King Miaozhuang sent ministers to persuade the third princess to change her mind and return to the palace.

Unexpectedly, the heart of the three princesses is as firm as iron and will not waver.

King Miaozhuang failed to persuade him, so he bought the head aunt of Baique Temple with a lot of money, and asked the aunt to abuse the third princess and force her to return to vulgarity.

The aunt got the money, blackened her conscience, and tried every means to torture the third princess.

Every day before dawn, she was asked to get up to work, and until the three stars were all out at night, she was allowed to go back to her room to do her homework.

The poor third princess grew up in the palace since she was a child. How could she have suffered so much? Her body was getting thinner and her face was haggarder day by day. But she still clenched her teeth and persevered, living through suffering.

This year in the twelfth lunar month of winter, there was heavy snowfall, and the Taohua Island was covered with snow, so it was impossible to get firewood.

But the third princess knew that if she didn't go back with firewood, her aunt would definitely not let her go. She braved the cold wind and crawled on the snow to find firewood.

Gradually, my hands and feet became numb from the cold, and without any strength, I fell headlong into the ravine.

In the dimness, the sound of "squeaking" water rang in her ears, and someone from the bottom of the mountain came with a boat.

After a while, the boat docked, and an old man with white beard and white hair came up the mountain.

The old man walked up to the third princess, took out a shining bead, and put it between her lips.

With a "gulu", the beads were swallowed into the mouth and slid down the throat. Strange to say, as soon as the beads fell into the stomach, the three princesses felt refreshed and relaxed all over.

The three princesses got up quickly, and under the guidance of the old man, they boarded the boat and followed the tide to a mountain in the east of Peach Blossom Island. The third princess formed a thatched canopy on that barren mountain, kept company with birds and beasts, and practiced chanting scriptures.

After several years, the whereabouts of the three princesses were finally known by King Miaozhuang again.

This time, he led his troops to the East China Sea and surrounded the small island where the three princesses lived. King Miaozhuang took people ashore to search the mountain. Unexpectedly, all the snakes and insects on the mountain came out of their holes and bit anyone they saw. The people who searched the mountain fled back after rolling and crawling.

King Miaozhuang was so angry that smoke rose from the seven orifices, and ordered people to set fire to the mountain with sulfur and saltpeter.

The fire fought against the wind, and the mountain became a sea of ​​flames.

Suddenly, a ball of red light rose from the sea of ​​fire, and then the three princesses, wearing white robes and stepping on the lotus platform, were hidden in the red light, slowly drifting towards a reef cave on the opposite side of the island.

King Miaozhuang was scheming in vain and was helpless, so he had to withdraw his troops and return to the palace.

A few days after King Miaozhuang returned to the palace, he suddenly felt extremely itchy, and headless abscesses appeared all over his body. I have visited famous doctors and tried all the good medicines, but all of them are ineffective.

King Miaozhuang was lying on the bed waiting for death to come.

Suddenly, a voice called out in his ear: "King Miaozhuang, if you want to survive, go to Putuo, South China Sea, and beg your daughter!"

King Miaozhuang heard it clearly, and quickly ordered people to prepare vehicles and boats to ask the third princess.

King Miaozhuang came to the reef cave and cried out, "Daughter, come and save the father! Daughter, come and save the father!"

Suddenly, a light came out of the cave, and the three princesses sat on the lotus platform and said to King Miaozhuang: "Father, you don't have to worry about it. You just need to use your daughter's arm as a medicine, and your father will be cured."

Then, with a "click", he broke his arm and threw it in front of King Miaozhuang.

King Miaozhuang took his daughter's arm, feeling ashamed, regretful and worried, fearing that his daughter would lose her arm and become disabled.

While hesitating, he suddenly saw the dazzling golden light in the cave, and countless arms suddenly grew out from under the three princesses' flanks.

King Miaozhuang was stunned, and said happily: "My daughter has achieved the right result of cultivation, attained the Tao and became a Buddha!"

It turned out that at this time, the three princesses had already ascended the Triple Treasure and became the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva to save suffering.

The barren mountain where she practiced Taoism is Luojia Mountain, and the reef cave where she later appeared is Fanyin Cave in Putuo Mountain.

Because she pulled out countless arms after breaking her arm, she is also called Avalokitesvara.

After Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva became a Buddha, in order to save all living beings, he transformed into a bodhisattva and came to the world to save suffering and disaster.

Because he saves people from suffering, people believe in Buddha and Bodhisattva, but the real purpose of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is to make people learn the Dharma, practice and become a Buddha.

All the stories in the world are like this, and no one would think that Bodhisattva has a vicious side.

While talking, the two were worried. It seemed that the only solution for now was to find Qin Hao.

"Why, is Your Majesty looking for me?"

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded, and a slender figure appeared, which greatly surprised Li Shimin!
