Chapter 4156 Turning
The old monk standing on the street, who was called Venerable Da Ri by the demon cultivators of the Six Paths, had a confused look on his old face.
In Lumbini, the place where the Buddha was born before, or Bodh Gaya, where the Buddha realized Bodhi, there are some traces left by the Buddha. The confusion in the monk's heart was relieved a little.
But now that he came to the place where the Buddha preached the Dharma for the first time, the old monk was completely at a loss in the face of a place where there was no trace left by the Buddha.
There is not a single trace of the past here, there are a lot of lively pedestrians coming and going, and there is no one who believes in Buddhism, neither is a shaved monk, nor is it a believer. They are all dressed in strange clothes, believe in other gods, and have nothing to do with Buddha. Not related.
Buddhism has completely died here!
It is no wonder that the Buddha passed away and did not want to show the Buddha's light here again.
Until a girl's crisp voice came from behind.
"Hey, old abbot, why don't you also learn from the Buddha and preach the Dharma to passers-by?"
The old monk was shocked, his pupils widened suddenly.
Preaching the Dharma to passers-by? !
This, this... Isn't this what the Buddha did after attaining enlightenment in the past? !
Thousands of years later, he, like the Buddha, preached the subtlety of Buddhism to the world, touched the world with Buddhism, let them return to Buddhism, and gained great liberation. After death, he could go to the Western Heaven and see the Tathagata Buddha.
If he can achieve this step, it doesn’t matter whether he can become a Buddha or not. As long as the Dharma enlightens the world and liberates all living beings from the sea of suffering, it doesn’t matter whether he can see the Buddha, whether he can realize Bodhi and become a Buddha. .
"Namo Amitabha."
Li Yun and the others could only see that the confused expression on the old monk's face had completely disappeared, returning to joy and peace, like a Buddha statue enshrined in a temple, looking at the world with a smile on his face.
"Every word that benefactor Wan said contains profound Buddhist teachings, and this old monk is extremely grateful."
The old monk clasped his hands together and bowed to Wan Qingya. Seeing that Wan Qingya was avoiding him, he smiled and said, "I'm going to recite scriptures to the world. Even if I can't influence all the people, as long as there is one person, the old monk who preaches the Buddhadharma Obsession is satisfied."
The three of Li Yun and Concubine Wanqing were completely stunned, only Wan Qingya said with a smile: "Then recite it, just like the Buddha back then, recite scriptures to the world, the so-called theory of rotation is now!"
"Indeed."
The old monk clasped his hands together, sat cross-legged on the streets of the busy city, and began to recite scriptures in a low voice. There was neither sadness nor joy on his peaceful old face, as if he was reciting to the air.
"?"
Wan Nishang muttered, "Your voice is so low, who are you speaking to?"
Living in the streets of a busy city, you may not be able to hear loud voices. There are so many vehicles coming and going, horns, noise, and constant quarrels, gathering together into a scene of all living beings.
And in this noisy world of mortals, an old monk sat cross-legged, reciting scriptures in a low voice.
"Facing us! Also the first one to read to us~."
Wan Qingya pulled her mother and sister, called her husband, and came to the old monk together, but didn't sit down, just listened to the scriptures near the old monk.
"...So I heard it. At one time, the Buddha lived in Rajagha City, Qijabori Mountain, and there were 12,000 great monks. They were all Arhats."
