After Xiang Que came to the West Heaven, it was impossible to know the secret of how Lingshan crossed the catastrophe overnight.After all, it was impossible for him to go to Lingshan to inquire with great fanfare.Although Manjushri, Fuxian and Guanyin Bodhisattva have an unusual relationship with him, in the final analysis, he and the Four Great Bodhisattvas are not really in the same camp, so it is impossible for Xiang Que to casually reveal his bottom to them.If this is known by the old man, it will be more than worth the loss.Xiang Que planned to simply stay in the Western Heaven Pure Land during this period and take a look.Anyway, there is nothing important in the current fairy world for him that he has to deal with.Although it is said that the collapse of the fairy world is about to come, but at this time, there is a very strange law, that is, the closer the collapse is, the more peaceful the immortal sects are, because no one will worry about other things at this time, and everything will be put down.The matter of life and death has not been solved yet, and this is to think about other things, how big is the experience.Xiang Que settled down, and turned himself into a very ordinary group in the Western Heaven Pure Land, and his realm cultivation was not high, just the kind of ordinary person, and then he prostrate and watched.As long as Xiang Que reveals his identity without much fanfare, no one can see his clues, because there are many people like him who have nothing to do and wander around in the Western Heavens.This kind of people don't do anything on weekdays, only focus on the Buddha, except for chanting and meditating everywhere, don't listen to things outside the window, and only want to become a Buddha, and these people don't pay attention to dress, don't care, and don't pay attention to other people."
Actually, this place is not bad, at least it's not so tiring to live, it's good to be simple, there's nothing to worry about......"
Xiang Que found that at least eighty percent of the people in the Western Heaven Pure Land are salted fish sects, except for believing in Buddhism and worshiping Buddha, they don't think about anything at all.Just like the small group of people in modern society, they don't have the pressure of mortgages, car loans and educating their children, and then they have achieved financial freedom, what do you say is the trouble?
Xiang Que wandered in the western sky for some days, and every day his ears were filled with the most the sound of chanting, and the most seen were monks with folded hands and robes, all of which were Amitabha's.And the most painful time of the day is the morning and evening, and during these two periods, the whole western heaven is probably filled with the movement of various scriptures."
Theravada Buddhism!"
The last time, when Xiang Que came to Xitian as a little grasshopper, he already knew this.The people of the Western Pure Land believe in Theravada Buddhism, not Mahayana.This is the same as the situation in modern society.Hinayana basically maintained the legacy of Shakyamuni, emphasizing ethical teachings, taking Buddha as a teacher rather than a god, and not worshipping idolatry; Mahayana accepted the idea of foreign Taoism, revised the doctrine of Shakyamuni, regarded the Buddha as a god with different incarnations and boundless power, preached supernatural powers, and created various idols to worship.Hinayana advocates that all sentient beings can help themselves, and everyone can enter Nirvana through cultivation, but not everyone can become a Buddha.
Mahayana, on the other hand, advocates not only self-transcendence, but also the transcendence of others, believing that as long as one sincerely believes, everyone can become a Buddha.The popular explanation is that Hinayana thinks that only a small number of people are Buddhas in the end, while Mahayana thinks that as long as you believe, anyone can become a Buddha, the former is narrower and the latter is broader.In fact, the two do not clash with each other, they are just different definitions.But one day Xiang Que felt that although Hinayana and Mahayana did not clash with each other, it was because there was only Hinayana and no Mahayana Buddhism in the Western Heavens.So what if there is?
If the content of this ideology that Lao Er has been implementing, what if it is questioned?
Is this equivalent to slapping Rulai hard, and then imprinting a five-fingered mountain on his face?
It's exciting to think about.So Xiang Que continued to wander around, looking for an opportunity to stab the cold man.It wasn't until a few days later that he met a Venerable One who was giving a lecture under a Bodhi tree.It was a very windy day, the weather was good, the sun was shining, the atmosphere was very peaceful, and the western sky was not shrouded in the haze of the collapse of the fairy world.In a remote city, under the Bodhi tree in a certain street, a half-naked Venerable One is preaching and reciting Buddha to dozens of believers in front of him with one hand.Xiang Que came to the back of the crowd shirtless, wearing a dirty gauze skirt and bare feet, and then pricked up his ears to listen to the old Venerable's teachings.After listening for a while, he realized that the other party was talking about the definition of Theravada Buddhism, which was relatively introductory Buddhist knowledge.Of course, there is no Hinayana in this place, so the believers feel that this is what they define as a Buddha in their hearts.Should I say it or not, this Venerable is still very good-looking, the muscles of his bare body are angular and bronze, and the sense of impact is not proportional to his age.It may be because the cultivation of Buddhism is relatively good, if you look at him at first glance, you will feel that this person seems to have a faint layer of golden light floating all over his body, this is definitely a master who has cultivated to the top in the Venerable realm, and Xiang Que can also see that his cultivation is at least in the middle of the Daluo Golden Immortal.The old Venerable was still chattering about the scriptures, and his appearance was solemn and solemn, and he looked like a master.Xiang Que blinked, staring at the other party all the time, he was thinking about how he could break the other party's golden body?
In fact, if Xiang Quan's idea is placed in the Western Heaven Pure Land, it will definitely be no less than throwing a nuclear bomb on this land.But you have to find a suitable opportunity, otherwise I'm afraid you'll be exposed."
I hope that if you are busy with other things now, you don't have time to pay attention to these little things in the West Heaven, otherwise, if you let him know, this thing will be deduced and calculated, and it will be easy to know who is behind the trouble!"
The reason why Xiang Que dared to be so bold was also because in this extraordinary period, he felt that although the western sky seemed calm, those big people on Lingshan must be very busy."
Ahem......
Xiang Que blinked, clasped his hands together and suddenly pronounced the Buddha's name, and then interrupted the old Venerable's words and said, "Master, I feel very painful, can you help me solve my doubts?"
Otherwise, I'm going to be depressed. ”"What is depression?""
It's just the tip of the horns......
Old Venerable's gaze swept over everyone, fell on Xiang Que's body, and asked softly, "Why is the little master in pain?"
”Xiang Que looked at him seriously and said: "I have been practicing for nearly a hundred years since I was a child, but I have been cultivating and cultivating but I have found that there is no progress, the Dharma is not profound, and the cultivation is not high, I want to become a Buddha, but I find that there seems to be no chance at all, master, do you say that I can not be in pain?"
