Chapter 302

Ye Qing was very surprised. Logically speaking, his technique of transformation should not be seen through the realm of saints, but this Tathagata Buddha can actually see through it. Could it be that this Tathagata Buddha has an enhanced version of his eyes?

However, Wutian's vest was dismantled by the Tathagata Buddha, and Ye Qing was not in a hurry, because his vests were as numerous as the hair of a cow. And Ye Qingfu has already made a bold guess in his heart. Perhaps it is not the Buddha who saw through his own transformation, but...

Ye Qing laughed and said, "The Tathagata is worthy of being the Tathagata. My Patriarch Subhuti's transformation technique is confident that no one in the Three Realms can see through it, but I didn't expect you to see it through the Tathagata." After that, Ye Qing turned into Subhuti. For the appearance of the ancestor, another vest was used.

"It turned out to be an old friend. Before I became a Taoist, I met Lonely Garden and Taoist friends at the tree in the country of Shewei, but now I think about it, but I haven't seen each other in 1,500 years. Unexpectedly, Taoist friends have integrated Confucianism and Buddhism. Dao, cultivate the strengths of a hundred schools, gestures, the Dharma is dignified, and there is supernatural power in the look of hope." Unexpectedly, the Tathagata Buddha saw Ye Qing Subhuti's appearance, but he reminisced about the old times, and held Ye Qing a few words.

Tathagata Buddha and Patriarch Subhuti are old friends?

Ye Qing's heart froze for a moment, but between the lights and flints, he found clues from the place name "Give the Lonely Garden". Among this Buddhism, there is a very important Mahayana sutra called "Diamond Sutra", which actually records the traces of Subhuti's practice of Buddhism.

The second part of the Diamond Sutra is good to present, and the first sentence is "When the elder Subhuti rises from his seat in the crowd..." He got up and asked the Tathagata Buddha to teach him the question of "subduing his mind in this way" on the practice of Mahayana Buddhism.

The Tathagata Buddha is the whole "Buddha tells Subhuti", which translates as "Sakyamuni said to Subhuti", and finally Tathagata Buddha said the core idea of ​​Mahayana Buddhism "All appearances are false. If all appearances are not appearances, you will see the Tathagata", which is the same as "The Tathagata said that there is no appearance of self and no appearance of sentient beings, but he treats me like that".

The entire "Diamond Sutra", which occupies the dominant position of Mahayana Buddhism, can be regarded as a cross talk. The Tathagata Buddha is a joker, and Subhuti is a cheerleader. The two people asked and answered questions, and they had a tacit understanding. Subhuti's questions are always to the point, and the Tathagata Buddha's answers are flawless and thought-provoking.

However, the Diamond Sutra is a Buddhist text after all. It is inevitable to exalt the Tathagata Buddha and belittle Subhuti. The Subhuti inside is respectful and respectful to the Buddha, but in reality, from the attitude of the Buddha when he speaks, it can be seen that the Buddha treated Subhuti as a friend who treats the Tao as an equal.

In Buddhist scriptures other than the Diamond Sutra, there is no record of the figure of the elder Subhuti, and the elder Subhuti does not belong to the category of Buddhist immortals. Now it seems that it was Patriarch Subhuti who learned the essence of Mahayana Buddhism from the Tathagata Buddha, and then left to study Confucianism and Taoism. It is no wonder that Patriarch Subhuti was ultimately a combination of three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and a hundred schools of thought merged to teach his disciples in Xieyuedong.

When Patriarch Subhuti was teaching Sun Wukong, he really knew all kinds of spells, all kinds of skills, and all of them could not master them. Low-grade, do not take" death principle. This led Patriarch Subhuti to knock the monkey’s head three times, and Wukong went to Patriarch Subhuti’s meditation room on the third watch. Patriarch Subhuti opened a small stove for Sun Wukong, and taught stories about stunts such as “Seventy-two Transformations of Earth Demons” and somersaulting clouds.

As soon as he figured out the key points of the matter, Ye Qing knew how to deal with the Tathagata Buddha, and Ye Qing had been holding the relic for a long time, and he had long discovered that the relic was really the essence of the later biography of Journey to the West. However, Ye Qing has his own plans, and this lantern relic is not impossible to give up. As the saying goes, if you want to take it, you must give it first.

This lantern relic is destined to fall into the hands of Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong is a public chess piece. Tathagata Buddha is using it, Wutian is also using it, and of course Ye Qing also uses it. After all, it is said that there are three treasures between heaven and earth, one is the seventeen relics, the second is the reincarnated soul boy of the Buddha, and the third is to defeat the Buddha Sun Wukong.

Such a treasure, wouldn't it be a pity not to use it?

"One thousand and five hundred years ago, I heard the Tathagata expound on the principle of 'there is no self, no one, no sentient beings, and no life.' , what a congratulations!" Ye Qing also gently held the Tathagata.

Tathagata Buddha said: "But I don't know why you want to become a godless appearance, and also take away the relics of the ancient Buddha's burning lamp?"

Ye Qing said with a sad face: "Of course it's for my poor disciple, Sun Wukong."

When the Buddha heard it, he couldn't help but startled, and then he thought that what Ye Qing said was right, he took Sun Wukong as a chess piece, but he didn't consider Patriarch Subhuti's opinion, which was really inappropriate.

But in fact, Patriarch Subhuti didn't care about Sun Wukong after basically teaching him. The Tathagata Buddha pressed Sun Wukong down Wuzhi Mountain for five hundred years, and Patriarch Subhuti didn't care about Sun Wukong. As for Patriarch Subhuti's capture of Ye Qing, it was because Ye Qing was wearing Subhuti's vest and was making waves everywhere.

But Tathagata Buddha's understanding is that Patriarch Subhuti is to sharpen Sun Wukong's temperament, so that Sun Wukong suffers, but his plan this time is very likely to sacrifice Sun Wukong. Patriarch Subhuti has vast supernatural powers and has insight into some of his own plans, so he brazenly took action and pretended to be Wutian, in fact, to ask himself for a statement.

"Why is this, fellow Daoist? The birth of the Heavenless Demon this time is the accumulation of karma in the three realms for 140,000 years. No one can be spared. All sacred immortals and Buddhas will sink for 33 years. Only Wukong can break free from this karma. The shackles." Tathagata Buddha said, "For Wukong, I have my own arrangements. At that time, Wukong will use seventeen relics to become a saint. This is like the flame in the gossip furnace. Wukong is just a kind of experience."

Ye Qing had an expression of sudden realization: "Oh? It's actually like this? Can't you and I join forces with the two saints to suppress the Heavenless Demon?"

Tathagata Buddha said: "The suppression can be suppressed, but after the suppression, the Wutian will return again and accumulate more power, so this time it is better to directly eliminate Wutian. This is a hard-to-find strategy, you understand of."

Ye Qing said with a smile: "That said, but you first suppressed my disciple Wukong for five hundred years, and then used a curse to ban him for fourteen years. Although you named him the "Fighting Victory Buddha," you didn't care about my actions against him. Face. We still need to do one game to settle the grievances."
