Chapter 231 [We can chew on Amitabha! ]
It is difficult for outsiders to enter the Bodhisattva realm. Only enlightened Buddhist monks can wander in. The realm is filled with a sacred and peaceful atmosphere.
In a trance, the figures of arhats, bodhisattvas, and even ancient Buddhas emerged.
All the shadows are blurry, but they give people a very real feeling, and the Zen chanting continues, coming from afar.
These are the great Buddhist monks of the past. Some of them have passed away, while others still remain in the human world. However, their marks in the Bodhisattva world still remain, as traces of their former existence, and their remaining mental power resonates with this spiritual realm.
"They are all talented and beautiful people."
Lin Xian muttered secretly, if the Bodhisattva Realm and the Human Emperor Banner were to be united, the power would increase dramatically. It was feared that once the banner was waved, all the Buddhas would pay homage to it, and even the Big Dipper would be blown up.
The remaining marks of the monk, like a machine, shouted the questions he asked before his death.
"Who are you? Why don't you bow?"
"I am the only one who is supreme in heaven and on earth." Lin Xian shouted in reverse. In the spiritual realm, his Buddha nature gained incomparable growth. He moved with the faith of the heavens and instantly suppressed all the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
One by one, the Arhats fell down, and one by one, the Bodhisattvas opened their eyes. The entire Bodhisattva world was shaken. Not only the spiritual realm of Mount Sumeru, but other temples also felt the echo.
The projection of Mount Sumeru in the Bodhisattva realm is the highest, but it is not the only one. Some ancient temples and holy temples are shining brightly, illuminating the entire universe and breaking through the clouds, symbolizing the mark of the Buddha.
Together with the Great Leiyin Temple, they illuminate the world of Bodhisattvas and support the web of faith in the Western Desert.
"It is indeed so. The Western Desert is so magical. It is not only the credit of Amitabha Buddha alone, but also the success of generations of believers and Buddhist disciples working together."
"The Great Leiyin Temple is the headquarters, and the other temples are branches."
Lin Xian seemed to be thinking about something, his spiritual body glowed with brilliance, and he continued to move forward in the Bodhisattva Realm, causing it to resonate with the Human Emperor Banner.
If the Bodhisattva Realm is the local server, then the Human Emperor Banner is the terminal, and the ubiquitous power of faith is the link that spreads across the universe.
The Buddhist temples that rise from the ground serve to guide faith and act as signal towers.
The virtual world of gods in the past was forged by the power of the immortal king's mind, and the ancient country needed to offer sacrifices to gain the qualification to enter.
The current Bodhisattva world originally belonged to Buddhism. Only those who had reached a certain level of practice could enter it when they were in meditation. However, the Human Emperor Banner broke this threshold.
As long as one is a human being, as long as one has a soul, as long as one recites the Buddha's name, and as long as one obtains qualifications in the temple, one can enter the realm of Bodhisattva.
The emperor's weapon, the demon-subduing pestle, vibrates, and everyone can enter the Bodhisattva realm. All living beings from ancient times to the present will leave their mark here. What a great power this is, it is a true miracle.
"If it doesn't become a fairyland, it will become a demonic land."
The deity of the Demon-Subduing Pestle commented with great solemnity.
Collecting the soul imprints of all beings in the universe can be said to be ascending to the Pure Land of Buddha together.
However, besides the Pure Land, living beings throughout the ages have another destination. And compared to the illusory Pure Land of Immortality, that realm has been operating for billions of years and has existed since the beginning of the world.
That is the underworld!
"One thought can make you a Buddha, one thought can make you a devil. Without the six realms of reincarnation, there would be no immortality."
Lin Xian smiled slightly, holding the Human Emperor Banner, evolving the aura of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art. Behind him, the Disk of Life and Death was spinning, and six huge black holes swallowed everything. The aura was surging, and vaguely, it actually divided the Bodhisattva world into two dimensions.
Where there is life, there is death; where there is death, there is life.
Between life and death lies the true meaning of reincarnation.
The Bodhisattva Realm can evolve towards the Pure Land of Immortality. Similarly, the spiritual realm that stores the aura of countless souls can also become another underworld!
If one day, the Bodhisattva world can give birth to souls on its own and no longer guides sentient beings from the outside world, then it will become a real world and the most determined step towards the Western Paradise.
"Reincarnation?"
The demon-subduing pestle was shocked by Lin Xian's skills and studied the feasibility of this method. At the same time, he sighed at the emptiness of reincarnation. He said in a leisurely voice: "The emperor once said that if one day every inch of land in the Western Desert is full of Buddha nature, nurturing vitality, and covered with lotus flowers, he will return in reincarnation."
"But two thousand years ago, Sakyamuni came to Mount Xumi. I thought I had verified it successfully."
"But I didn't expect that Sakyamuni didn't believe in the afterlife, and he was the only one who was supreme in this life, so he came down from Mount Sumeru."
As the weapon of the Buddha Emperor, the Demon-Subduing Pestle knows too many Buddhist secrets, including the immortality method of Amitabha Emperor and his back-up plan for resurrection.
There are eight consciousnesses in Buddhism, known as the eight consciousnesses, also known as the Tathagatagarbha.
The eight consciousnesses are: eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind, manas, and alaya.
When the great Buddha Amitabha passed away, his five senses of eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body attained Nirvana and turned into relics, which are preserved in Mount Sumeru.
The remaining fruits of the Tao, consciousness, manas, and alaya-vijnana, symbolize the opportunities for three reincarnations.
Among them, consciousness is the continuation of the physical body, inheriting most of the thinking and logic of the previous body, and even the emotions and desires. It is called the main consciousness, which is the emotion of Buddha.
The main consciousness entered the sea of consciousness of Sakyamuni, so Sakyamuni embarked on the path of Buddhism and became a generation of Buddha, the present Buddha.
Manas, also known as Dharma consciousness, is ego, self, wisdom, the subconscious mind in the human body. It is hidden in the ocean of the mind and is the wisdom of Buddha.
The saying "If you keep thinking about something, there will be a response" refers to this consciousness.
If one can understand and break through the ego, then there is no self and no ignorance, which flows in the hearts of all living beings, with the same power of thought, and is a symbol that all living beings can become Buddhas.
Amitabha Buddha's manas has always existed in the Western Desert and in every Buddhist disciple. It was eventually taken away by Zhending Tathagata and later given to Lin Xian.
The last part is always in the stone Buddha on the ancient star of Amitabha, and it is also the most important Alaya consciousness.
This consciousness is the root of all things in the universe and contains everything, so it is called storehouse consciousness. Because it can contain the seeds that give rise to all things, it is also called seed consciousness.
It is the combination of nature and delusion, and the place where all the seeds of good and evil reside.
In other words, it is the memory of Amitabha Buddha.
There has always been a saying in the ancient star that if a person's memory is copied and transferred to another person, or a clone, or other creature.
That person is still the same person as before.
Is it a feeling of empathy, or does it feel like watching a movie and witnessing another person's life?
If Sakyamuni recognized that he was Amitabha Buddha, his consciousness became one with the Alaya consciousness, his emotions became consistent with his memories, his Manas consciousness arose on its own, and finally merged with the sarira, then it would truly be the reincarnation of the great Amitabha Buddha.
If the manas and alaya consciousness are united, and one has the most important wisdom and memory but loses emotions, that is the reincarnation of Amitabha Buddha, a true rebirth.
One is rebirth, the other is reincarnation.
Even the demon-subduing pestle can't tell who is the real reincarnation.
"What about reincarnation? What about rebirth?"
Lin Xian, holding the Human Emperor Banner, strolled to an ancient ruin. There was a cliff in front of him and a surging silver sea.
There are three big words on the cliff - Go to the sea!
The past of all Buddhists is buried here, from believers to Buddhist disciples, from Arhats to Bodhisattvas, even ancient Buddhas have left their past in the sea of the past, among which is naturally Amitabha. "Amitabha in the past, Sakyamuni in the present, and Maitreya in the future, why can't the three worlds coexist!"
Lin Xian said slowly, and crossed the sea. He saw a huge Buddha sitting cross-legged. His head and face were blurred, shrouded in chaotic mist, and it was not very clear, but vaguely he could see that it was similar to the statue of Amitabha Buddha enshrined in the temple.
But there was also an invincible aura that suppressed the past and was eternal and immortal.
There was a great scripture that sounded, roaring and deafening, and three thousand Buddhas chanted together: "Amitabha!!!"
The figure turned upside down, on the Mount Sumeru in the universe, under the Bodhi tree, the Amitabha Buddha was the projection of the Bodhisattva world. He seemed alive but not alive, dead but not dead, releasing life fluctuations like the vast ocean, saving the world with compassion.
It is the golden body of the Dharma, as well as the relic, and also the most important core energy source in the Bodhisattva world.
This is the holy object left behind by the Buddha after his death. It is the most precious treasure of Buddhism and even more valuable than the Emperor's Pestle. It silently runs the rules of returning faith in the Western Desert.
Its value is comparable to that of an emperor's corpse, no less than that of a supreme powerful being, and it can summon the divine body of Amitabha the Great Emperor at any time.
"Bathing in the power of faith for more than 300,000 years, this treatment would make even the immortal Taoist jealous."
Lin Xian muttered something in his heart, then slowly approached. The lotus mark between his eyebrows manifested, and the power of Buddha's wisdom made the relics come alive, scattering countless light rains.
It is colorful and crystal clear, like a heart carved from a fairy diamond, with a vague Buddha body inside, mysterious and unfathomable.
The fist-sized relics make one want to take a bite. This thing is very nutritious and is even better than the elixir of immortality.
Lin Xian swallowed his saliva, revealing forty teeth with clear layers and flawless whiteness, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the Buddhist imperial soldier, the Demon-Subduing Pestle. The gods directly descended to the Bodhisattva realm, ready to summon Amitabha the Great Emperor at any time.
With this combination, even if the Supreme of the Forbidden Zone comes, he will be beaten to death by Buddha.
"Ahem, I'm just taking a look, not touching." Lin Xian smiled awkwardly, clasped his hands together, and said, "If I become a Buddha, all sentient beings in the nine heavens and ten earths, all the heavens and myriad worlds, can enter the Human Emperor Banner and enjoy the great path of immortality."
"If I attain Anuttara Samyaksambodhi, all living beings in the nine heavens and ten earths, in all the heavens and the myriad worlds, in the three realms and six paths, will be able to chant the Buddha's name and ascend to the bodhisattva realm."
"If I attain the supreme enlightenment, all the Buddhas of the ten directions and three times will attain the supreme purity and together they will achieve the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."
"I am the White Lotus Maitreya, the future Buddha of the Stars. I shall save all living beings and relieve them from suffering!"
"The first Buddha to be saved is Amitabha."
The Emperor's weapon, the Demon-Subduing Pestle, was shaking, and he almost lost his voice: "What? The Great Emperor has long been dead. Even if a true immortal descends to the mortal world, he cannot reverse the passage of time, nor disrupt reincarnation."
"It's not about resurrecting the Great Emperor Amitabha, it's about resurrecting Amitabha Buddha." Lin Xian shook his head. If one wants to rescue someone from the long river of time, one needs at least the power of a giant Immortal King.
A supreme being like Amitabha, who has embarked on the path of immortality in the mortal world, is even more important. He has influenced the past and the future, and even the Immortal Kings cannot help him. Only a quasi-immortal emperor can reverse the chaos of time and revive the supreme being.
Only the Immortal Emperor is fearless of cause and effect, does whatever he wants, plays with the long river of time, regards the eternal sky as a painting, and can delete and modify it at any time.
This state is similar to the other shore. If there is only one other shore in the world, then he is truly invincible.
Similarly, if there is only one Immortal Emperor in the world, then no one who comes later will be able to surpass the Immortal Emperor unless they are related to this Immortal Emperor.
Lin Xian is now neither the Immortal King nor the Immortal Emperor, but just a small humanitarian monk. He cannot resurrect the Great Emperor Amitabha. The solution he proposed is to draw on the faith body of the Immortal Emperor - the Immortal Taoist.
The ones who have gone the furthest on the path of faith are the Immortal Emperor and Amitabha the Great, both of whom possess faith at the supreme level.
It’s just that the Immortal Emperor used some means to bring the Immortal Taoist back to life and transform him into a real living being.
"If the immortal Taoist can come back to life, then Amitabha can also come back to life."
Lin Xian said meaningfully: "Why should we pin our hopes on the present and the future? We can just gnaw away at the past!"
"Since rebirth and reincarnation are unreliable, we can try resurrection."
“By bringing the divine self of the Great Emperor Amitabha back to life, and then merging it with the part of the Alaya consciousness on the ancient Amitabha star, perhaps a miracle can be created.”
“Don’t put your hope in the future, and don’t trust in the wisdom of future generations.”
"Reincarnation can go forward or backward. Instead of counting on the younger generation, we should look to the older generation!"
As he spoke, Lin Xian passed on the news that the Immortal Taoist was imprisoned in the Holy Cliff by the Wu Shi Emperor.
This is a living Supreme, a Supreme who is suppressed and can be dissected at will!
It would be such a waste to use it directly for blood sacrifice.
We can first study the Immortal Taoist thoroughly, and then sacrifice his blood, which is the true recycling of waste.
The Immortal Emperor and the Immortal Taoist, Amitabha the Great and Amitabha, what a similar case, repeated twice in the eternity of time, the Buddhist imperial weapon, the demon-subduing pestle, makes people's hearts beat fast.
Rather than relying on Sakyamuni or people like Lin Xian, it seems that this old friend of mine is more reliable.
After hundreds of thousands of years of baptism, he has turned into Amitabha Buddha in the hearts of all living beings. This is true compassion, without a trace of humanity, but pure divinity and Buddha nature, without any selfish thoughts or desires.
It can be called the Amitabha AI model.
"Maybe we can give it a try." The god of the Imperial Weapon Demon Subduing Pestle said slowly after careful consideration.
The imperial soldier is the continuation of the emperor's life, and he really wants to resurrect Emperor Amitabha.
After the two examples of Sakyamuni and Lin Xian, the Demon-Subduing Pestle couldn't help but feel a little lost, and the divine self became its only life-saving straw.
"That's good, that's good."
Lin Xian put his hands together, smiled slightly, looked at the river in the distance, but was thinking about something in his heart.
Is it the divine self of Amitabha Buddha that compels sentient beings to impact the path to immortality, or is it the wishes of sentient beings for hundreds of thousands of years and their urgent desire to become immortals that kidnapped the divine self of Amitabha Buddha.
The power of faith is forged by all living beings. If all living beings want to become immortals, then the divine self will be unable to control itself, because his heart is not his own, but the heart of all living beings, and he only respects the will of believers.
It seems that believers worship the divine self, but in fact the divine self becomes a slave to the believers.
If the divine body of Amitabha Buddha were to come back to life and have his own will, could the tragedy of all living beings dying on their way to immortality be avoided?
Lin Xian thought secretly, and after crossing the sea, he arrived at the River of the Next Life, where there was an imprint of Sakyamuni.
Although Mount Sumeru does not recognize Sakyamuni and believes that he is the devil shell of the great Lord Amitabha, there is still a place for this Buddha in the spiritual realm.
At least the Sariputra and the Vajra have no objection, and the relationship between Sakyamuni and Amitabha Buddha is a very subtle one.
Until Lin Xian arrived at the Bodhisattva Realm.
He walked to the river of the afterlife, bowed, and murmured, "Buddha, please move. Mount Xumi has already decided that I will be the future Buddha. You will dominate this world. I will be the only one in the nine heavens and ten earths and attain enlightenment as the present Buddha."
"It's up to you to fight the dark turmoil!"
"Please, Buddha Shakyamuni!"
