Chapter 857 Mulian Buddha

However, the commotion this time seemed to be too big. A Buddha statue that did not exist slowly rose up, shining brightly, more dazzling than all the Buddha statues. The Dharma was profound and crushed everything.

This is the statue of Buddha. As soon as it appeared, many strange phenomena appeared. The place was filled with misty heavenly incense, colorful fairy stamens and fairy flowers were flying, the Jade Capital and the Golden Tower were in great glory, and rare and rare treasures were priceless.

Before the Buddha statue had finished manifesting, he saw three thousand Buddhas, five hundred Aras, eight great Vajras, and boundless Bodhisattvas, all holding banners, flags, precious canopies, and rare precious fairy flowers, arranged in the wonderland of Lingshan Mountain, under the twin forests of Salha. welcome.

With the Sutra Pavilion as the center, the Buddha's light shines for thousands of miles around. Bathed in the Buddha's light, everyone feels extremely calm and peaceful in their hearts, and they bow to the direction of the Buddha statue.

As for those good Buddhist men and women who believed deeply in the Buddha, they even knelt down and worshiped, with tears streaming down their cheeks. They had worshiped the Buddha countless times, but this was the first time they were so close to the Buddha. Their faith was true. How could these believers not be excited.

However, if these believers knew that the person who caused this change was Wu Yi, a heretic, they don't know what their expressions would be.

At this moment, the people in the Liuchen Sutra Pavilion were already dumbfounded. After a moment of hesitation, Yuan Rongyi and other disciples hurriedly knelt down and chanted Buddhist sutras. After many years of cultivating their minds and nature, they almost... Once destroyed.

In the Sutra Pavilion, at this moment, Wu Yi was the only one standing upright, looking directly at the Buddha statue in front of him. Wu Yi was not as excited as the others.

According to Wu Yi's original thought, if he could attract the favor of the Bodhisattva, it would be great and beyond his expectation. But now, he has directly attracted the favor of the Buddha. If it makes things worse, he will only have more and more troubles in the future.

Moreover, there is something strange about this matter. This is Wu Yi's intuition and there is no evidence. In terms of qualifications, Yuan Rongyi, a man with eight natural senses, did not attract the favor of the Buddha. How could Wu Yi, a man with seven heavenly senses, attract the favor of the Buddha? How could he be so virtuous and capable?

When it comes to cultivation, it is even more of a joke. None of the Arhat Bodhisattvas of the Liuchen Guan family asked the Buddha to look down on him, and it was even less possible for Wu Yi, a heretic.

Those who believe in the so-called fate are all fools.

It may be a Buddhist artifact in the Liuchen Temple, which can temporarily transform into a statue of Buddha. When he arrives, he deliberately summons it. The purpose is self-evident.

Wu Yi looked at the Buddha statue, trying to see something strange. In the eyes of outsiders, it turned out to be extremely bold, arrogant and rude.

Behind him, Yuan Rongyi watched with fear. He was afraid that the statue of Buddha would blow Wu Yi's soul and body into ashes in one breath, so he kept asking Wu Yi to kneel down and salute as soon as possible.

The statue of Buddha did not care about Wu Yi, and may not even have consciousness. He sat on the auspicious clouds, looked down, spoke calmly, and said to the crowd: "Suffering is so deep that it pervades the three realms. The fundamental principle, after all, is extinguished. Together with the void Look, nothing.”

The sound is also mighty, traveling thousands of miles without stopping, emitting the light of the relics, filling the sky with forty-two white rainbows, connecting the north and the south.

All the gods, Buddhas and bodhisattvas in the sky bowed to him, and when everyone saw it, they also took refuge and bowed. In a short while, the gathering gathered clouds and mist, climbed onto the lotus platform, and sat down solemnly.

The three thousand Buddhas, five hundred Arhats, Eight Vajras, and four Bodhisattvas put their palms together and came forward to bow, then each sat down and listened to the sermon.

Seeing this, Wu Yi did not dare to continue his previous unbridled attitude, and also sat cross-legged, as if listening to the sermon.

Next, more and more Buddhists gathered in the Liuchen Guanjing Pavilion. They were densely packed and crowded, making it a spectacular sight.

Naturally, the Buddha statue would not wait for them to arrive. It was fate to be the first to witness all this.

"I heard this: For a time, the Buddha only had a tree in the lonely garden in the country of Savatthi. Maha Moggallana had just gained the six powers and wanted to save his parents and repay the kindness of nursing. He looked at the world with the eyes of the Tao. He saw his dead mother giving birth to hungry ghosts. In the middle, there was no food or drink, and the skin and bones were standing together. Mu Lian was so sad that he took the rice in the bowl to feed his mother. When the mother got the rice, she blocked the bowl with her left hand and tried to eat with her right hand. The food turned into charcoal before she could eat it. . Mulian shouted, howled and wept, and rushed back to the white Buddha. This is the case. "

…

While he was teaching the Dharma, flowers fell from the sky and golden lotuses surged from the ground. The three-vehicle teaching is wonderfully performed, and the subtle and complete Dharma is complete. Slowly shake the tail of the crocodile, spraying pearls and jade, and the sound of thunder shakes the sky for nine days. The word "enlightenment" refers to sincerity and guides the mysterious nature of inanimate nature.

After listening to the sermon of the Buddha statue, Wu Yi already understood the identity of the Buddha. In fact, when the Buddha was preaching, he also made it clear that he was telling his story in the third person for Maud Lian Buddha.

And what he preached was none other than "The Buddha Speaks of the Ullambana Sutra".

Even if you have not recited "The Buddha Speaks of the Ullambana Sutra", after reading the first paragraph, you will understand the main idea of ​​this sutra. It describes the story of Maudgalyana, the great disciple of the Buddha, who could not bear the death of his mother who fell into the realm of hungry ghosts and suffered death. Suffering, I asked the Buddha about the Dharma. The Buddha told me that on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, all the monks should take care of themselves and make offerings to the Buddhas and monks in the ten directions with various kinds of food, five fruits, etc., so that their mother would be freed from suffering.

Speaking of "The Buddha Speaks of the Ullambana Sutra", Wu Yi remembered that today is the fifteenth day of the seventh month, which is a big day for both Taoism and Buddhism.

The great day of Buddhism is naturally the Menglan Pen Festival, and today's day of Taoism is the Ghost Festival, which is also a day closely related to ghosts.

It is the same Buddhist scripture, but when different people recite it, the effect is completely different. When ordinary people recite it, Wu Yi may not even have a slight fluctuation in his mind.

However, Wu Yi shed tears from time to time as he was recited by Mulian Buddha. His mood fluctuated and he was unable to control himself at all.

Especially the words of Buddha Mulian: "Your mother's sins are deep-rooted, and you alone cannot do anything about it. Although you are filial and your voice moves heaven and earth, gods and earth, evil demons, Taoists, and the four heavenly kings, they cannot do anything about it. You must rely on the power of the monks in all directions to be liberated. I will now tell you the way to save you, so that all difficulties can be freed from sorrow and suffering."

When these words were spoken, most of the people present could not control their emotions and cried bitterly.

Wu Yi tried not to cry out loud, but his tears flowed like a spring, soaking his clothes.

In fact, when Buddha Mulian was preaching, Wu Yi's self-awareness had gradually disappeared, but he instinctively hid his tears.

"May this merit be used to adorn the Pure Land of Buddha, repay the fourfold kindness, and relieve the sufferings of the three evil paths. May all sentient beings in the Dharma Realm and those who are trapped in the world develop bodhi mind, and after this life, be reborn in the Pure Land together!" Finally, under the solemn vow of the Buddha Maudgalyayana, the sermon ended.

This sermon lasted from dawn until dusk, and the audience still looked unsatisfied, immersed in a state of sadness for a long time, unable to extricate themselves.
