Chapter 380 Bai Na Clothes
Gandhara saw a little envy and jealousy in Master Tianque's eyes.
"Is this the Immaculate Heavenly Clothes? It is indeed a Buddhist treasure forged by the prayers of hundreds of millions of dead souls. Even the sins that turn into karma can be suppressed and even purified... It is really enviable. Ah!"
"How wonderful! How wonderful! This is not a Buddhist treasure, it is just a piece of clothing. The so-called good deeds and prayers are just appearances."
Master Tianque's answer. Obviously unable to satisfy Gandhara, he sneered. The already manifest King Jiang III waved his magic weapon, and the surrounding flames immediately turned into fire and fell down.
Karma fire is the embodiment of karma. Highly condensed karma will show a burning state, which can ignore the obstacles of the universe and the universal light to a certain extent and directly affect the individual.
The magic weapon was waved, and the glazed-colored, red lotus-shaped flames twisted and bloomed in layers in the void, trying to fall on Shao Siming and others and Master Tianque.
Seeing this, the eight benevolent gods around them retreated one after another, not daring to step forward.
Fei Fei, Guo Shan and Wu Chaoxi also felt a chilly breath rising from the Dantian, going down to the Yongquan Point and up to the Tuoniwan Palace. There were three disasters: fire and water. The feeling of boiling and wind dissipation.
Seeing this, Chu Tai controlled Young Siming to wave the purple bamboo branch gently, lowering some clear lights to protect the three people. After looking back at Master Tianque, he saw him standing in the fire of karma, no matter what No matter how much karmic fire burns, it can't get even close to him.
But what's interesting is that the wisdom light behind Master Tianque's head rotates, and the milky white light hangs down repeatedly, flowing on the Wuque Heavenly Clothes, preventing the fire of karma from coming into direct contact. These actions made Chu Tai a little curious, and at the same time he couldn't help but think of Master Tianque's previous experience. What he said was "It's just a piece of clothing."
With a thought, "fate" came together, and the Buddha's light also turned in Shao Siming's eyes, just like a thousand-petal lotus blooming, reflecting many colors.
"Wait, no, this is not a prayer, let alone a good deed, this is an ordinary monk's robe..."
Chu Tai's pupils dilated slightly, and he could see "Yuan" " He clearly saw that the prayers and good deeds on the monk's robe were just expressions. Its essence was a hundred-nie garment, a hundred-nie garment made up of hundreds of thousands of rags.
The so-called good deeds and prayers are just decorations attached to the surface of this dress.
"Huh? Fellow Taoist, did you actually see it?"
Master Tianque looked back at Shao Siming with a little joy in his eyes, while Chu Tai had a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.
"How did you make the clothes you are wearing?"
"Actually, I am also trying to be cunning. Probably three lives ago, I was an ascetic and there was no cloth to make clothes. So I went door to door and asked for some rags. In return, I would chant sutras for them, help them with some chores, and make some uncomfortable clothes."
"I don't know if I wore them later. I got used to it, so I made another piece of clothing in my second life, and added the good deeds I had accumulated in my previous life, as well as the blessings from my good deeds on it. This was the real flawless celestial garment that I was able to escape from the hands of Buddhas and demons. One big reason, but I don’t think so in this life. I think the clothes themselves are valuable compared to blessings and prayers.”
As he spoke, Master Tianque stretched out his hand and gently touched the clothes on his body, and whispered: "I remember this piece of clothing was given to me by a child from the Western Region. He didn't have a complete piece of clothing himself, but he wanted to save his mother at that time. , stumbled up to me, thinking that I was a Tantric monk, wanting to trade myself for my mother’s life. “I just asked him for a piece of cloth, and he stayed there for a long time, and then he didn’t know where to go. He found some water, washed his clothes again, and tore off a relatively clean piece of cloth for me. Because of this, his clothes were torn to pieces and he was embarrassed to come to see me..."
< br>
Then Master Tianque pointed at a small piece of blood-stained rag on the edge of the cloth.
“As for this one, it is special. It was given to me by an evil person. He was saved by me back then. He clearly understood his mistakes and shortcomings in Buddhism and had the intention to repent. However, his karma followed him like a shadow and he had to repay the total amount. He had to pay back. He suffered 7,645 cuts from others, and before he died, he gave this piece of cloth to me, saying that this was the only piece of cloth on his body that was still clean, and it was considered as payment... "
"There is also this piece, which was woven again from a thread taken from the swaddling clothes of more than 700 children that I saved eight hundred years ago..."
As Master Tianque spoke sentence by sentence, Chu Tai also gradually understood the special nature of this hundred-year-old robe.
According to the concepts of the unity of heaven and man and the game between heaven and man, this thing is actually a witness, an evidence that witnesses the path of Master Tianque. It does not have any superpowers, but it can protect all people wearing it. A man wearing hundreds of robes.
Because Master Tianque protected and guided all living beings in this way back then, this Bai Nie Yi also protects the people under the clothes in this way now.
“If the master is able to pass it down one day, you will be just a short distance away from the Bodhisattva status... I made a mistake. If you wanted to achieve the Bodhisattva status, you would have had the chance to achieve it a few years ago, but you are not there now. It is not possible, and there is no need to give up this thing to understand one's mind and see one's nature. "
"In fact, I still want to pass it on in the end. The Diamond Sutra says: 'If the law should be given up, how much more should it be illegal'. Although this hundred-year-old robe is an honor to me now, it is just an honor. If there is a need in the future, I should pass it on or even give it up.”
Having said this, Master Tianque clasped his hands together, looked at Shao Siming and said, "Just like Zen Master Bodhidharma back then, he changed Nanming Lihuo from tangible to intangible, from intangible to tangible, and reversed it 17 times, and then used it with supreme merit. After training, he created one of the top flying swords in the world, and finally gave it up?"
"Ignorance..."
Gandhara originally planned to use Tianque to explain it. , I secretly recovered a thing or two, and suppressed my karma and resentment. Suddenly I heard Master Tianque's metaphor and immediately jumped out to refute.
“No matter how powerful and mysterious the Nanming Lihuo Sword is, it is just a manifestation of magical powers, but the Baijiyi on your body is the embodiment of your merits and good deeds. The manifestation of Dharma and the feedback of supreme compassion, how can they be compared?"
"What is the difference between the two?"
Master Tianque took advantage of the situation and asked, looking at Gandhara: "In terms of magical power and mystery, is it possible that my clothes are comparable to the Nanmingli Fire Sword? In terms of mystery, you also said that it is just the feedback of compassion. The foundation should be It’s in my heart, not this hundred-year-old robe. If I really care about this hundred-year-old robe and don’t want to pass it on or even use it to save people, then I will really destroy this treasure, just like now..."
Master Tianque stretched out a hand, and bits of light gradually flew out of his sleeves. Gandhara's pupils shook slightly, and then the Buddha's light gradually dimmed.
He was horrified and said: "What on earth have you done?"
