The emperor sat down and a golden lotus rose. The seven-grade golden lotus Buddha's light shone brightly. One thousand two hundred petals of the lotus bloomed under the golden lotus. A long Sanskrit sound came from the emperor's circle.

"Great Wish Ksitigarbha, Netherworld Cult Leader!!"

The emperor's palms slowly clasped together, an innate immortal spiritual light flew across the nine heavens, and a hazy clear light fell down, wrapping the seventh-grade golden lotus and turning it into a thousand-leaf green lotus platform.

This Thousand-leaf Green Lotus Platform is the embodiment of the Taoist nature of Emperor Dongyue, who transformed a seven-grade golden lotus, a great Buddhist treasure, into a Thousand-leaf Green Lotus Platform.

"Namo Amitabha!"

Three thousand Buddhas in Daleiyin Temple recited the "Ksitigarbha's Original Vow Sutra", and beautiful pineapple flowers were flying in the scenic spot of Lingshan Mountain. All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas put their hands together and paid tribute to them.

"Namo Amitabha, I make a great vow that the hell will never be empty, and I will never become a Buddha. I will save all sentient beings before I can achieve Bodhi. I will stay in the filthy land for eternity!!"

The emperor sat cross-legged on a thousand-leaf lotus platform, draped in a golden cassock, holding a pearl in one hand and a tin staff in the other, with a look of compassion on his face, and a large solid gold '*' character appeared behind him.

This golden seal with the word "*" shines on his Buddha's Light Treasure Wheel. The pure golden Buddha's light is almost like a golden flame, beating endlessly on the emperor's seventh-grade golden lotus, giving birth to a distant Zen feeling.

The so-called confirming the heavenly mind with the original mind is to establish great cause and effect and great merits with the universe, and to predict the merits and causes and effects of the future lives. This is the way of Buddhism's supreme ambition.

"Namo, Great Wish Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!!"

Infinite sentient beings from the past, future, and present three generations, ranging from the twenty-four gods and humans to the evil ghosts and asuras of the eighteenth level of hell, are all paying homage.

"Namo, Great Wish Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!!"

The great wishes of Buddhism are so wonderful and incredible that they are made by the original mind that confirms the heavenly mind. The stronger the wish, the greater the merits gained. After the great wish is completed, the benefits will be infinite.

At some point in the past, the Buddha Amitabha of Buddhism once made forty-eight great wishes, and with the immeasurable merits of the forty-eight great wishes, he achieved the golden body of the Buddha.

However, great aspirations can be achieved or lost. Although Amitabha became a Buddha with the forty-eight vows, before the forty-eight vows have not been fulfilled, there is no hope of supreme and perfect enlightenment.

However, no one can ignore the mystery of Buddhism's great aspirations. The endless variables in the future are exchanged for the immeasurable merits of the present. The gains and losses can not be summarized in one word.

The sentence "Unless hell is empty, I swear I will never become a Buddha", even if it blocks the path of Dongyue Emperor's "Hunyuan Wuji", Dongyue Emperor can use this immeasurable merit to enter "endless tribulations" in one step.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Just when Emperor Dongyue borrowed the Buddhist method and made unimaginable ambitions, the river of destiny hanging high above the Taixu universe suddenly gave birth to bursts of thunder and thunderbolts.

These bursts of thunder and thunder caught the gaze of the Great Luo Jinxian, the leader of the heretic cult, and the ancient Buddha Tianzun. No one could turn a blind eye to this great change in destiny.

This long river of destiny is the place closest to the origin of the Taixu Universe. Any movement in it will cause a great turmoil in the entire Taixu Universe.

The river of destiny traverses the billions of worlds in the universe. All the acquired lives in the universe rise and fall within the river of destiny, performing their own joys and sorrows.

Once turmoil occurs, the fate of hundreds of millions of sentient beings will be rewritten. Who dares to ignore such a huge causal relationship, and who can stay away from it?

Even if the innate great supernatural beings are transcendent and have long since ceased to be destined, within the number of days, and have achieved eternal freedom and great carefree bodies, they still need this universe as a place to live.

Without waiting for all the great innate supernatural powers to illuminate the universe and examine everything in the universe, they saw that on the west side of the River of Destiny, chants of Sanskrit chants were rising, and the figure of a great Bodhisattva was looming.

On the long river of destiny where Ksitigarbha's golden body appears, two major vows and virtues emerge, one is that the hell will not be empty and he will not become a Buddha, and the other is that all wishes are fulfilled, and the round light on the top of the head is inconceivable.

With the power of the great compassion vow, the Bodhisattva manifests the body of the Brahma King, the body of the emperor, the body of the voice-hearer, the body of the King of Yama, the body of the lion, the elephant, the tiger, the wolf, the cow, the horse, and even the Rakshasa body, the hell body and other immeasurable dharma bodies to teach and transform living beings, and to be mindful of the evil world of the five turbidities.

For all living beings who are suffering, we should eliminate disasters and increase blessings in response to their requests, so as to mature their good roots.

Demonstrating the inconceivable immensity of merit and virtue, the Buddha's light and Buddha-nature enveloped the heavens and the world, and the Buddha's palace in the Buddha's land was splendid and brilliant, making all the heretic leaders and the great gods stop for a long time.

"This is the golden body of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the leader of Netherworld."

Looking at the vision in the west sky from a distance, a certain heretic leader sighed: "It is true that Buddhism is booming, and its momentum is unimaginable. With the dignity of the Netherworld leader, he would join Buddhism!"

After Emperor Dongyue made his great wish, there were past, future, and present causes and effects in the world. In the eyes of countless sentient beings, Emperor Dongyue was originally Ksitigarbha.

With the attainment of the Great Wish Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, all the deeds of Ksitigarbha in Buddhist scriptures have become part of the Dongyue Emperor's experience and the mythical deeds of the Dongyue Emperor.

Even the legendary cause and effect of Ksitigarbha's many lives has become a matter of Emperor Dongyue, and will be praised by all living beings in the past, future, and present, and in all tribulations.

This is the power of the innate great Luo reversal of cause and effect, before and after the reversal. There is no difference in the minds of those with great innate supernatural powers whether the chicken or the egg came first.

"Excellent! Excellent! Emperor Dongyue has great compassion and great aspirations, and will stay forever in the filthy land of the eighteen hells. He will be the leader of the Netherworld, Namo Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!"

The eight Buddhist sects appeared in Zhouza, and a group of people who were waiting for enlightenment appeared one by one in the Great Leiyin Temple. Seeing the abundant light and Buddha nature of Emperor Dongyue, they could not help but praise loudly.

"Excellent! Excellent! Namo Great Wish Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!"

The world of twenty-four heavens, the world of the infinite Buddha kingdom, blooms with immeasurable light in an instant, and the pure golden Buddha light illuminates the sky, dyeing the heaven and earth into pure gold.

Although many great Bodhisattvas in Buddhism had their thoughts on the throne of Ksitigarbha, after Emperor Dongyue ascended to the throne of Ksitigarbha, these great Bodhisattvas could only quickly change their minds.

It should be noted that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is too important to Buddhism. It is the most important cornerstone under the trinity of reincarnation, cause and effect, and merit in Buddhism, which is used to stabilize the order of the netherworld.

In the past, Buddhism could only hold the position of Ksitigarbha, but there was no great Bodhisattva who could firmly occupy the position of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Therefore, we had to continue to weave the myths and legends of Ksitigarbha and let Ksitigarbha exist in the form of a brand.

Now, Emperor Dongyue, who has the power of the underworld, has inherited the cause and effect and merits of Ksitigarbha, which is a powerful supplement to the perfection of the Buddhist system.

With this great merit and great vow, it is enough to greatly increase the luck of Buddhism and benefit a lot of Bodhisattvas and Arhats in Buddhism, as well as Tathagatas who have achieved perfect enlightenment.

Therefore, although all the powerful Buddhists are jealous of Emperor Dongyue being the leader of the Netherworld Cult, only Emperor Dongyue can hold the position of Buddhist Ksitigarbha, and Buddhism has the greatest benefit among them.

Sakyamuni Buddha sat under the Bodhi tree, looking at the Emperor Dongyue who had great vows. With a warm smile on his face, he declared to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, saying: "Ksitigarbha has received the great precepts of Moding and is a disciple of Sakyamuni.

Good, good,”

"The poor monk has been preaching the Lotus Sutra for eight hundred kalpas. Since then, the Buddha's Dharma has been perfected in the Mahayana. The poor monk will reach Nirvana after countless kalpas, and Maitreya Bodhisattva will descend from Tushita Heaven and become the Buddha."

Sakyamuni Buddha is sitting on a nine-grade golden lotus, holding beads in his hands. Each beads is interpreted as the state of the void, and the four major false combinations of the universe, earth, fire, geomancy and water.

"However, Maitreya has experienced a long kalpa, during which there have been 5.64 billion years of the evil world of five turbidities. Therefore, the current Buddha's position is empty, and there is no righteous Dharma in the world. Ksitigarbha should be used to save the world on behalf of the Buddha."

The so-called "Five Turbid Evil Worlds" in the words of Sakyamuni Buddha refers to the long period of time after Sakyamuni Buddha's Nirvana and before Maitreya Bodhisattva attained enlightenment.

In the Buddhist world view, there will be turbidity of kalpas, turbidity of views, turbidity of afflictions, turbidity of living beings, and turbidity of fate, which will disturb the established order of the Taixu universe, and it will be called the "Five Turbidity Evil Age".

"We will guide Maitreya Bodhisattva back to his throne and achieve the fruit of perfect enlightenment. He will be the future mentor of Maitreya Bodhisattva."

Shakyamuni Buddha loudly proclaimed the name of the Buddha without opening his mouth. Once he spoke, he was shocked and shocked, causing the expressions of the three thousand Buddhas to change with the sound of thunder. They looked at the solemn image of Sakyamuni and were speechless in response.

By doing this, Sakyamuni simply declared his intended successor after his extinction. What the Buddhas did not expect was that that person was the newly promoted Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

According to Sakyamuni Buddha, although Maitreya Bodhisattva among the eight great Bodhisattvas is called the future Buddha, after he comes to this world and becomes a Buddha, he will still have the age of the End of Dharma for 5.64 billion years.

And in this 5.64 billion-year-old age of the End of Dharma, this Great Wish Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will be used to perform the righteous Dharma on behalf of Sakyamuni Buddha and Maitreya Bodhisattva.

For Emperor Dongyue to suddenly reach such a high position, many Tathagata who are waiting for enlightenment find it unbelievable. Only a few ancient Buddhas sit firmly in the Buddha's kingdom, looking at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva on the river of destiny with a smile.

"Good, good, Namo Great Wish Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!!"

After Shakyamuni Buddha appointed Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva as the agent of the present Buddha, the Buddha's voice, which was floating in the past, future, and present kalpas, became louder. They took refuge in unison and praised Ksitigarbha.

On the surging river of destiny, the golden body of Ksitigarbha, sitting cross-legged in the pure land of bliss in the west, becomes increasingly clear. He holds a pearl in one hand and a tin staff in the other, sitting on a Qianye Qinglian platform.

A tiger head, one horn, dog ears, a dragon body, a lion's tail, and a unicorn's feet. It can listen and distinguish all things in the world, especially good at listening to people's hearts. The divine beast of heaven and earth known as "True Listening" lies in front of the seat.

This is a divine beast of heaven and earth that has inherited a portion of the "Ksitigarbha's Original Vow Sutra" and has been nurtured for countless years under the influence of Buddhist destiny. Its essence is close to the innate divine beast and it is born with strange abilities.

This "True Listening" mythical beast is not only in Buddhist myths and legends, but also a sacred beast appointed by Taixu Universe to protect the Dharma in front of Ksitigarbha's throne. It protects Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's great vows of righteous Dharma and distinguishes evil spirits in people's hearts.

"Alas...this share of karma is too big!"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva lowered his eyes and sighed. With the great vows of Buddhism and immeasurable merits in his body, Ksitigarbha easily reached the pinnacle of "coexisting with the world", which is close to the "endless eons".

territory.

As long as Ksitigarbha's dharma body resides in the filthy land of the eighteen hells and fulfills part of his great vows, he will be able to take another step forward and reach the ancient Buddha's path of "unbreakable for all eternity" in one fell swoop, and truly become the first of the eight great bodhisattvas of Buddhism.

people.

Unfortunately, all this is not without cost. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva received so many benefits from Sakyamuni Buddha, and since then he has been extremely closely tied to the interests of Buddhism, and has completely become a member of Buddhism.

In the future, the great Shinto sage Dongyue Emperor will only be an incarnation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and the great wish Ksitigarbha, the leader of the Netherworld Cult, is the true origin of Ksitigarbha.

As if time and space were intertwined, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sat upright on the Thousand-leaf Green Lotus Platform, clasped his hands and said: "Namo, my master, Sakyamuni Buddha, is so loved by me that my disciples will live in filthy land forever, not saving sentient beings, and not attaining Bodhi.

"

Ksitigarbha's majestic appearance is bathed in the light of the Twelve Causes and Conditions of the Buddha. Sanskrit chants resound around Ksitigarbha's body, and all sentient beings praise his immeasurable merits.

"Good, good, Namo Great Wish Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!!"

Under the boundless admiration of all sentient beings, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva gave a gentle salute, and a little bit of Buddha light swayed around, like hundreds of millions of fireflies, like stars all over the sky.

…………

Between the vast 'Tian Yuan' Dao Domain, the Pure Yang Realm hangs high in the vast void, with endless roars of divine flames of destruction, and a world-destroying three-pronged fork, carrying boundless destruction, cuts across the Pure Yang Realm.

One after another, the tide of destruction hit the world's barriers, shaking the Pure Yang Realm to the point of collapse. The membrane of heaven and earth was almost torn apart, and completely collapsed in the next moment.

"shiva!!"

Lord Shiva, the Destroyer, manifested his true form with three eyes, four heads and eight arms, and the divine power of extreme destruction roared in the void space of the universe, shaking thousands of worlds in the 'Tian Yuan' realm with every move.

"shiva!!"

Lord Shiva shouted the mantra of destruction that symbolized destruction. The mantra of destruction was louder and louder, slowly spreading in the void of the universe and among thousands of worlds.

"How good, how good, the merits are immeasurable, the great wishes are immeasurable, Namo Great Wish Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!!"

Just when Lord Shiva's destructive power permeated the world, extinguishing all life in the Pure Yang Realm and about to turn into dust, a great Bodhisattva sitting cross-legged on a thousand-leaf green lotus platform revealed his Dharma Body.

This great Bodhisattva is sitting on a thousand-leaf green lotus platform, with a Buddha seal with the word "*" on his back. The Buddha's light shines brightly in the void, rendering this vast realm.

"Since I took the initiative, I have passed through countless, boundless and inconceivable asamkhya kalpas, and I have been able to cross the sea of ​​Savaru for a long time. My merits are full. However, due to my original vow and self-restraint, my power has appeared cleverly, and my shadow has echoed in the ten directions."

The boundless Sanskrit Zen chants arose and emerged on the body of this great Bodhisattva. The great Bodhisattva has a dignified face, great compassion between his eyebrows, and a gleam of cinnabar between his eyebrows.

"Hey! Take a slap from Buddha and send you back to the west!"

After a sudden loud shout, this great Bodhisattva manifested his dharma body and did not want to talk to the great god Shiva. A huge Buddha palm covered the sky and the earth, and the Buddha seal with the word "*" in the palm bloomed into the holy land of Buddha.
Chapter completed!
