Chapter 326 The Buddhist sect is prosperous, this is the way of heaven!
The sound of Buddha is lingering, and the auspiciousness is colorful.
On the ancient Lingshan Buddhist Kingdom, monks are walking everywhere.
The flowers and birds are peaceful, the animals are lazy, and the trees have turned into a sea of green, full of vitality.
In this world, the chaos of the Three Realms seems to never be touched.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva are walking on the Lingshan Mountain. They are surrounded by various visions and the Buddha Kingdom.
"Amitabha, since I took the oath, I have not returned to Lingshan Mountain for many years. Today, I will visit the Buddha's land." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva clasped his hands together and smiled softly, with a gentle and compassionate expression.
"The destination of the heart is the Buddha's kingdom." Manjushri Bodhisattva chuckled and shook his head, surrounded by Buddhist inscriptions, and the light was shining: "The Bodhisattva has a thousand-story glazed pagoda under the nine-flower lotus flower under the underworld. It is also one of the best Buddhist countries in the three realms. "
"How can a small pagoda be compared with the Holy Land of Lingshan? He smiled and shook his head.
While these two Buddhist Bodhisattvas were talking, several monks walked towards them, followed by several ragged pilgrims.
They all arrived at Lingshan from many Buddhist places in Hezhou, Xiniu. Along the way, they kowtowed every three steps and knelt down every five steps. The piety in their hearts was not just words. They were all the most devout believers of Buddhism.
“I have seen Bodhisattvas.” Several monks saw the two Bodhisattvas, put their hands together and bowed slowly.
The pilgrims behind them did not know that the two Bodhisattvas in front of them were the legendary Ksitigarbha and Manjushri. They were just the word "Bodhisattva". To these pilgrims, It is the unimaginable Holy Light.
“I’ve seen Bodhisattva, I’ve seen Bodhisattva, I’ve seen Bodhisattva.”
Looking at the two Bodhisattvas only recorded in holy Sanskrit texts, many pilgrims were so excited that their whole bodies were shaking. .
They never expected that they would see the legendary Buddhist Bodhisattva just after entering the holy mountain.
Many pilgrims clasped their hands together, trembling, and saluted respectfully. They almost fell to their knees on the ground and knelt down to kowtow.
"Amitabha, you and I are both disciples of Buddhism, so there is no need to be like this."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva smiled, and an invisible gentle force stopped them from kneeling.
The two Buddhist Bodhisattvas also responded with Buddhist salutes, clasping their hands together and looking peaceful and forgiving.
"This, this"
When many pilgrims saw all this, they were so excited that they were almost incoherent. They didn't know where to put their hands and feet. After a long time, they finally came to their senses and hurriedly saluted with the highest Buddhist etiquette, and then respectfully Leave.
Looking at the many pilgrims who were reciting Buddhist sutras and leaving happily, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva showed mercy on his face and his eyes were full of relief.
"Amitabha."
Looking at the Buddhist disciples scattered all over the mountains and rivers, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva smiled and said: "It has been a long time since I returned to Lingshan. Today's Buddhism is worse than that of poor monks. When I left, it was even grander.”
"So many Buddhist disciples were unimaginable when Lingshan was first founded."
"Amitabha, it should be like this." Manjushri Bodhisattva replied with a smile, his golden cassock shone, as if there were thousands of Buddhas Surrounded by countries, Sanskrit sounds resonate.
“Today’s Lingshan Mountain is different from when the Bodhisattva left. Every inch is covered with Buddhist principles, not to mention everything in the heaven and earth, everything has a definite number, has no form or color, and Buddhism is prosperous. This is Heavenly Destiny.”
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded with a smile, his golden face also filled with auspiciousness: “Destined Destiny Buddhism is prosperous”
The two great Bodhisattvas stopped and walked. , admiring the scenery of Lingshan Mountain and discussing many things along the way.
Compared with enjoying the scenery, it is obvious that the latter is the main reason why Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva left the underworld and returned to the underworld.
"Bodhisattva, this plan in the underworld is related to the prosperity and decline of our Buddhism. The prosperity of Buddhism in heaven and earth has been going on for too long. Today's plan will be the beginning of my Buddhism's arrival in the three realms."
"Although there is a little redundancy, I still hope that the Bodhisattva will remember it and not be careless."
Manjushri Bodhisattva said softly, with an unusually solemn expression between his eyebrows.
"Things in the Three Realms should not be underestimated. Although the Qin Kingdom seems weak today, it is no longer the human race it was back then. I have to admit that Ying Zheng, the First Emperor of Qin, really has extraordinary talents. , often in desperate places, surrounded by dangers.”
"Although we Buddhists have long been prepared for this battle between Nanzhan Buzhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou, the poor monk always feels that this Ying Zheng will not be that simple. He always feels that he is still hiding something."
Manjusri Bodhisattva slowly spoke, a certain kind of Buddha light shone around, and the holy text spread like a river.
"But that doesn't matter, as long as our Buddhist plan is successfully implemented, everything will be rewritten."
"What is heaven, what is the world, it is destined that Buddhism will prosper, this is the way of heaven."
At this moment, Manjushri Bodhisattva's eyes were sharp, and the cold light reflected in his two pupils almost pierced the sky.
But this cold light was fleeting, just for a moment, and Manjushri Bodhisattva's expression returned to compassion and peace.
“But before this plan is launched, it must not be noticed by others. Only Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the best person. Although many preparations have been made, the next step The most important thing is the action. "
"This plan will determine the prosperity of our Buddhism. We must not be careless. We still have to thank Bodhisattva." Manjushri put his hands together and bowed respectfully to Ksitigarbha. .
Ksitigarbha nodded slightly, it was obvious that he knew the importance of this matter.
“This is the responsibility of a poor monk, but.”
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was obviously hesitant in his words, and Manjushri Bodhisattva immediately asked.
"Oh? May I ask the Bodhisattva what concerns you have? Are there any omissions in what the poor monk said?"
"Amitabha, of course there are no omissions in what the Bodhisattva said," Ksitigarbha said, The Buddha's light spread, and ripples gradually spread out from his body, gradually covering the area, blocking the possibility of peeping and watching everything in the surrounding world.
“The poor monk has no doubts about this plan, and many of the contents related to it have been almost prepared. However,” Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva clasped his hands together and hesitated with his slightly drooped eyelids. His expression was somewhat intolerable.
"Is this really a good thing? Once this measure is implemented, it will definitely cause unimaginable chaos in the world. If it is not handled well, I am afraid that even all human beings in the three realms will be destroyed. Everyone will be affected and their lives will be ruined.”
"Isn't it a little too unfair to the human race?"
Hearing this, Manjushri Bodhisattva suddenly laughed.
“Amitabha, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has a heart for the world, and he is truly worthy of his reputation.”
“But between this plan and the human race, the Bodhisattva does not need to be so worried.” “You must know that the human race itself is Among the three realms, the race with the largest number and the heaviest luck is also a large number. For the human race, ordinary minor injuries are not important at all. It only takes a short time of more than a hundred years and can be easily recovered. ”
"Moreover, the current situation in the Three Realms is chaotic. The dragon clan is independent, the demon kings are rising together, and heaven is taking action. In addition, there are many things happening in the southern continent of the human race, Great Qin itself. The human race itself is actually the center of chaos."
"Even if Buddhism had not taken action, the damage to the human race would have been extremely huge." Manjushri Bodhisattva explained with a smile.
“But.” Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was still hesitant and struggled: “After all, it is different.”
Manjushri Bodhisattva nodded and did not refuse or deny Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s suggestion. Speaking, he calmly explained: "If our Buddha's plan is successfully implemented, it will indeed cause quite a stir in the world and even cause a certain range of turmoil. However, if we can take the opportunity to end the chaotic situation in the Three Realms as soon as possible and end the current situation in the Three Realms, The chaos like a whirlpool is a great mercy to the human race, and even to all living beings in the world.”
“And the main target of our Buddhist plan is not all human races. It is only aimed at the human beings in the Qin Kingdom of Nanzhan Continent, not the entire world.”
"Even if it is the worst, most unfavorable situation, there won't be any big problems."
"As long as we and the Lingshan disciples move out quickly and everything goes as planned, it is destined not to happen." This kind of accident, after all, the poor monk and others are not the two lich clans from endless years ago, and it is absolutely impossible to let the world be so miserable."
"Amitabha." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva still looked a little struggling. , even though everyone knows all this, they still feel a little bit unbearable.
"Seriously, there is no other way? You must know that the time when Zending Buddhism flourished was probably hundreds of years ago."
Hearing the words of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Manjusri The Bodhisattva also laughed immediately.
"Indeed, according to the calculations and predictions, the timing of Buddhism's prosperity is still more than hundreds of years away."
"But"
"Are the predictions really accurate? This time How can we give up this great opportunity so easily?"
Manjushri Bodhisattva responded, with the Buddha's light lingering behind him.
"The prosperity of Buddhism is determined by heaven. This is the way of heaven."
"Today's Heavenly Court is so powerful that its power covers the entire Three Realms. It has been the strongest in the Three Realms for tens of millions of years. Today's Buddhism is countless times stronger than before. But if we confront Heavenly Court head-on, Most likely they will not be able to compete with the Heavenly Court. "
"In the past few years, we and other Buddhist disciples have tried our best for the rise of Buddhism, but every time, we have been blocked by the Heavenly Court."
Manjusri Bodhisattva looks at the distant heaven and earth, and sees thousands of green expanse, rippling green waves, and bursting out auspiciousness. Countless monks are walking in the holy mountain. When they pass by, they all give them respectful looks.
Looking at all this, the peace and compassion in Manjushri Bodhisattva's eyes became more intense.
“Today’s world is in chaos, with many forces coming together. The three parties of the dragon race, monster race, and human race have joined forces to fight against the heaven. They have won several battles and have vaguely forced the heaven into a chaotic situation.”
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, you have been purifying the souls of wronged people and saving all sentient beings in the underworld for many years. You may not have a very intuitive experience or feeling, but for Buddhist disciples such as poor monks who have been in the human world all year round, heaven is really extremely powerful. "
"Now, the poor monk can speak with certainty. This opportunity is unprecedented in the three realms for thousands of years, and it is also an opportunity that our Buddhist sect has never had."
" If we miss this opportunity and wait until Heaven is restored and the three realms are unified, it will be even more difficult for Buddhism to continue to prosper. "
"And Heaven has already intended to weaken the sphere of influence of our Buddhism in the Three Realms. , if the heaven is relieved, it is destined to be an unusually more dangerous siege."
Manjushri Bodhisattva lowered his eyes, and there was not much emotion in his golden eyes. Speak slowly.
"No matter what."
"Buddhism."
"Can't give up."
Silence.
A long silence.
The huge bells on Lingshan resounded throughout the sky, and countless Buddhist and Sanskrit sounds echoed in the jungle.
The Buddha's voice trembled, and one monk after another walked past the two Bodhisattvas, with respectful eyes and dignified attitudes, bending down to salute, and reciting the Buddha's name.
Manjushri Bodhisattva returned the greetings one by one and seemed to have returned to his normal state. He even discussed Buddhist principles with several Buddhas and answered the doubts in the minds of several ascetics who were confused.
The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva next to him seemed to be an old monk who had entered samadhi and had never taken any action.
Many monks didn’t think much about this. They just thought that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had not returned to Lingshan for a long time. Now that he suddenly came back, he had a new understanding and appreciation of Buddhism, and his demeanor became more and more... of respect.
After an unknown amount of time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who had been silent all this time, finally let out a long sigh, turned around and looked at Manjushri Bodhisattva, and clasped his hands together.
"Amitabha"
"Poor monk."
"I know."
"Then all this."
"It's just like the Bodhisattva's plan."
Manjushri Bodhisattva seemed to have anticipated this, clasping his hands together and responding with a smile, with countless Buddha lights behind him.
"Amitabha."
"This is very good."
On the distant Buddhist Spirit Mountain, auspicious steaming, shimmering with rays of light, the two Bodhisattvas Manjushri and Ksitigarbha, Finally, the next action that Buddhism will be held has been finalized.
They held an emergency Buddhist meeting, and after hearing the news, top Buddhas from the Buddhist sect came one after another.
Listening to the plans of the two Buddhas, these Buddhist disciples were obviously shocked by everything mentioned in the plan. They were a little hesitant, entangled, and confused. However, some Buddhist disciples nodded slowly. Agree.
But regardless of their reaction, the outcome of the discussion, or whether they support all of this, the many steps and actions required in the plan have already begun silently in the distant horizon.< br>
The prosperity of Buddhism is determined by the will of Heaven, but when will this prosperity come? Will it come in one month, two months, three years, four years, or ten years? No one can predict it.
In order to ensure that Buddhism will continue to prosper for eternity, Buddhism, which has been preparing for countless years, finally took advantage of this opportunity and slowly started to act
