Chapter 1: Do you give it? If you don't give it, you can grab it!
The Western Paradise, the Great Leiyin Temple.
Since the saint left, the Great Leiyin Temple has been very quiet. Arhats and Bodhisattvas from all sides have been meditating in the temple, not only because Amitabha Buddha has left, but foreign enemies are on the side and there are many crises, so they have to step up their practice.
Because it was the battle of the Taoist and Buddha's fortune, at the critical moment, the Buddha Tathagata forbidden the powerful people in the temple to go out and walk around in order to prevent the battle of fortune. No monk in the temple was willing to destroy the fortune that was about to be obtained, so they obediently received the Buddha's decree and were reciting in the temple.
But today is different. Three thousand arhats and eight hundred bodhisattvas are all dressed in neat clothes, and their Dharma appearances are solemnly placed in the hall of the Great Leiyin Temple.
Even the Buddhist disciple Ananda, who is often missing, stands with his hands hanging down in the golden rosette.
The entire Daleiyin Temple is solemn and dignified, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
"I am a monk, Xuanzang, from the east to the Great Tang Dynasty, came from the west to pay homage to the Buddha. I would like to give you the true scriptures to save the world!"
There was a group of five people outside the Great Leiyin Temple, standing respectfully with their hands down. A monk took a step forward and sang a Buddhist chant at the Great Leiyin Temple gate.
"Amitabha, Buddha, they are here, are they?" Venerable Ananda turned around and asked the Buddha.
The Buddha Tathagata sat upright on the golden lotus, with a solemn appearance and a look of sorrow or joy. He just said lightly: "Don't be anxious, wait for a moment to observe his sincerity."
Venerable Ananda nodded and said, "According to the Buddha's decree, the temple gate will not be opened for the time being, so wait for a moment."
Among the Buddhas in the next head, Guanyin, who knew the truth of this battle of luck, Samantabhadra, always bowed his head and counted the sheep, and was indifferent. Anyway, it was just a play. The Buddha said that I would wait for a while, then wait for a while.
But the great Arhats below didn't know that, and they would be in a hurry. They finally won the battle of luck, and they were not as devastated as last time. What else would the Buddha be dissatisfied with? If there were any more twists and turns, it would be a frustration.
Looking outside the door again, Tang Seng sang three times, but the gate of the Great Leiyin Temple did not move at all, and there was no reaction inside. The five of them were a little anxious.
Then Sun Wukong scratched his ears and his forehead was about to end. When the time comes, he can return home in glory. At this time, the people ignored him and did not dare to be arrogant in front of the gate of Daleiyin Temple. He didn't want to go back to the foot of Wuzhi Mountain for five hundred years. He could only secretly ask Tang Seng: "Master, these bald people... Bah, the monks don't open the door. Why don't I, Lao Sun, help you to ask the Bodhisattva? Look at what the trick is here?"
Tang Monk secretly turned his head and glared at Wukong: "You monkey, don't be arrogant! When you arrive in front of the Buddha's gate in the West, everything must be followed by the rules, otherwise if something goes wrong, you must be responsible for your teacher!"
Bajie was very careless and muttered: "A few broken books, hurry up and get us the merits and how much happiness you can go back. My old pig thinks that the elder brother is right. Don't want to get some benefits if you don't open the door, right?"
Before Tang Seng could speak, Sha Wujing couldn't bear it anymore. He was a straightforward person. The pig head kept complaining all the way, and he was about to be perfected. If this annoyed the Buddha and the scriptures could not be obtained, he would have to peel his pig skin alive: "Second Brother, be careful! I will wait for the hardships and hardships all the way, and don't speak quickly at that moment, and ruin the merits!"
Zhu Bajie looked at Tang Seng's glaring eyes, smashed his mouth and didn't dare to speak again.
Just when Tang Monk felt that he should go and call the door again, a solemn voice came from the door: "Tang Xuanzang, you have experienced disasters and finally reached the Pure Land. Are you sincerely seeking the true scriptures and saving the world?" After this voice came out, something shocking happened. The Great Leiyin Temple actually gave birth to Buddha light, and thousands of lotus bloomed in the void. On the lotus, there was a treasure that was solemnly adorned by the Buddha, either holding a flower and smiling, or nodding in praise.
Apart from Wukong, the few people in front of me had never seen such a scene. It was so hard that Tang Seng came back to his spirit and replied respectfully: "Amitabha, I feel that the people of the East China are suffering from the lack of Buddhist scriptures. I will not hesitate to this life, but I hope that the Buddha will give the scriptures with immeasurable merits."
The voice in the temple paused for a moment, and then slowly said, "We all know your intentions, but we also have difficulties."
When Tang Monk heard about this, he was about to have another setback and asked: "What is the difficulty of the Buddha? I wonder if the disciples can know?"
The Buddha paused and said, "The true scriptures are not ordinary words. They need to be passed down through great magic power. Therefore, Guanyin Bodhisattva previously agreed that he had great merits to give fruits to cultivate, but it was untrue."
Tang Seng was a little anxious and asked, "What does the Buddha mean? Could it be that we are not sincere enough?"
Sun Wukong didn't care about this true scripture, nor did he give me the merits. He asked directly at the Great Leiyin Temple: "The Buddha is so stingy! Isn't we working hard all the way, and I'm also working hard for the Pure Land?"
The Buddha interrupted the monkey head and replied: "It is not that you will not wait for the true scriptures, but that the true scriptures and merits can only be selected. If you choose to seek the true scriptures, your master and disciple will not be rewarded. Sun Wukong, you are still the sinner of the Heavenly Court. You need to go to the sea of thunder in the nine heavens to be punished. Tianpeng cannot return to the Heavenly Court. Sha Wujing, you can only cut off your skills and become an ordinary person in the lower realm. But the little white dragon, I will not interfere with your family affairs, but you need to face the Dragon King of the Four Seas first."
Not only were the five masters and apprentices anxious, but even the many monks in Leiyin Temple were anxious. What was the Buddha trying to do? He didn’t get the luck he got? He also wanted to recommend it out. You should know that these five people who learned the scriptures had luck, and it would be beneficial to them to be included in the teachings.
Venerable Kashyapa looked at the Buddha in confusion. In his impression, the Buddha did not act like this. I don’t know why this time? But he had to bite the bullet and ask: “Buddha, the five masters and disciples have great luck, why don’t they enter the teachings? If the Buddha doesn’t like the monkey head, he can send him to the underworld.”
"Haha, Kashyapa, you are attached to the appearance. There is no hurry to do this. The five masters and disciples have experienced all kinds of hardships, but they have no mental disasters. This experience is to complete the last 81 difficulties, the last traits of mind." The Buddha explained to Kashyapa with a smile, and to the monks.
As a result, everyone suddenly realized that it turned out that the Buddha was looking at the perfect merit.
But this is the result of suffering, the five masters and disciples waiting in front of the door. After hearing this, Tang Seng had no reaction. He was an ordinary person, and it would be great if he could seek the true scriptures to save the world. Why do you need to become a Buddha in the West? The Buddha is in his heart.
"Master, this is not possible. I, Old Sun, can't go to that heaven anymore. Why don't we give up the true scriptures and call Buddha and ancestors in this Pure Land? "Sun Wukong hurriedly pulled Tang Seng's sleeve. He was unwilling to go to the nine heavenly tribulations and receive punishment.
"It's the extreme, the extreme, Master, we are in trouble all the way, and if we can't enjoy happiness, what's the point?" This time, Sha Seng refused to refute this. If we remove the immortal body, what's the difference between killing him?
For a moment, the five people quarreled endlessly, and they felt like they wanted to separate their families. It was just the Buddha's previous intention, one copy of the true scriptures and five copy of the merits and fruits. Tang Seng could not get the true scriptures even after this.
Sun Wukong was so troubled by the quarrel that he had no idea when he saw Tang Monk was out of his mind. He was so angry that he kicked the door of the Daleiyin Temple, shouting: "Old Tathagata, it's better to give it to me today, not me... I, Lao Sun, go in and grab it!"
