Chapter 718: The End of Dharma Period
"What kind of treasure is the Six Paths of Reincarnation Map?" Shi Xiaobao looked confused.
"I have no research on Buddhism, but I have heard people mention that such a picture is very expensive." Wang St. shook his head.
"I know something." Wen Jing suddenly said.
"Tell me quickly, what kind of treasure is the Six Paths of Reincarnation Diagram? If it is good, hehe..." Shi Xiaobao rubbed his hands, with an impatient greed expression.
"Buddhism advocates equality of sentient beings, and believes that generations of people are in a constant wheel-like circling and equal opportunities. After a person dies, there are six ways out in the next life: either a god, a human, a human, an animal, a hungry ghost, or a hell. The "Long Agama Sutra" says that the destination of a person in the next life mainly depends on the manifestations of the present life. For example, accumulation of good virtues, the lower caste can become the upper caste in the next life; if the bad record is full, the upper caste will become the lower caste in the next life, and even fall into hell. All this is what Buddhism calls "reincarnation" "The Six Paths of Reincarnation" painted a huge monster with long claws and three eyes, a black bear sitting on the ground, holding a large wheel-shaped circle. The circle is surrounded by various characters and burning
, killing, traitor, cheating, robbery, stealing, eating, drinking, prostitute, gambling and other evil deeds. Several airflows divide the round wheel into six paths. The palace in the first path is towering in the clouds, like a fairyland, called the 'heaven'; the city society in the second path is called the 'human way'; the smoke rises everywhere in the third path, with water, fire, drought, and flood, called the 'asura way'; the ghosts and monsters in the fourth path are [, smoke grows in the mouth, thin as a fire, and are being tortured, called the 'hungry ghost way'; the pigs, dogs, cows, horses, fish and insects in the fifth path are called the 'animal way'; the swords, mountains, ice valleys, fire seas of purgatory, ghosts and monsters are suffering, called the 'heaven way'. This figure vividly warns the world to 'do not do all evil' and 'do all good' to achieve the purpose of persuading evil to do good."
Wen Jing thought for a while and told the story.
"Damn, the Chairman said that we should defeat all monsters and monsters, and all the bullshits of the six realms of reincarnation. The book says that killing people and setting fires, setting bridges and roads without corpses!" Shi Xiaobao sneered.
"You can't say that. Usually, religions that can stand firm in the long river of time have some extraordinary features, just like the Buddhist saying "Don't do all evil" and "do all good" to achieve the purpose of persuading evil and doing good. The purpose is correct. If you don't believe it, there is no need to slander it." Wen Jing said lightly.
"Wenjing, have you studied Buddhism?" Wang Fan didn't expect that Wenjing actually knew so much.
"Our literary school can be unique and fight vampires for hundreds of years, which is a collection of the strengths of hundreds of schools. Although we do not believe in Buddhism and Taoism, we can still study it, especially Buddhism and Taoism."
"So that's it. By the way, Wen Jing, do you think the Six Path Wheels exist?" Wang San asked.
"Do you believe it?" Wen Jing glanced at Wang Stupid, her eyes extremely deep.
"It's hard to say that the way I believe may be different from what you think."
"Tell me, what's the difference?" Wen Jing was stunned at first, and then asked with interest.
"The six realms may really exist, but it is not the Asura realm, the hungry ghost realm, the animal realm, and the hell realm, as mentioned by Buddhism."
"continue."
"I personally believe that there are countless spaces outside the earth, and those spaces are collectively called the Six Paths by Buddhism."
"How do they differ?" Wen Jing asked.
"I think Buddhism should have a way to exile human souls to different spaces. If the space environment is comfortable, it may be the heavenly way of human beings. If the environment is harsh, it may be the Asura way and the hungry ghost way. As for the animal way, it should be a world without humans, with many beasts that kill each other, and the human souls depend on the animals."
"Where is the Hell Road?"
"The Hell Road may be the most special place. Humans will not find the body that depends on the soul, even animals. In that space, humans should exist in the form of souls. In this existence, there must be ferocious souls that devour other people's souls and achieve the goal of strengthening themselves..." Wang Strange said.
"Well, there are some truths, but how can the human soul reach the six realms?" Wen Jing asked in confusion.
"This is the Buddhist teachings we mentioned just now, well, there are also Taoist teachings. In the past, after humans died, monks and Taoist priests would perform rituals. If I guessed correctly, then the so-called rituals are actually a set of spells and exercises studied by monks and Taoist priests with high magic power. As long as future generations complete the entire ritual, even without magic power, they can guide human souls into different spaces."
"Everyone has different good and evil, different causes and effects, and different retribution. How can monks and Taoists distinguish them?"
"This...this...I can't verify it. I guess when the ritual ritual is held, the spell can be identified by the human soul. After all, the soul cannot lie."
"Haha, since that's the case, why is Xiaobao's golden belt for killing and setting fire, repairing bridges and roads without corpses?" Wen Jing sneered.
"This is not impossible to explain." Wang Fan hesitated for a moment. He thought of Qin Shihuang and the powerful soul in the square. "Some people, because of their strong mental power and strong willpower, can gather willpower even if their physical bodies die. They can not only fight against the monks and Taoists' spells, but also wander outside the six realms of reincarnation..."
"It is free from the six realms of reincarnation... the vampire seems to be free from the six realms of reincarnation, and there are werewolf..." Wen Jing murmured to herself, dazed.
"Yes, nothing is absolutely absolute. Moreover, in this world, there are not only two religions of Buddhism and Taoism, but also many powerful religions, such as God and Allah. Their believers are also thousands of, but they are even more than that."
"Well, if it's really what you said, then every religion has some special mantras, like the Christian prayer and priesthood, which are similar to Buddhist and Taoist rituals."
"Yes... Xiaobao!" Wang Mo nodded, and suddenly saw that Shi Xiaobao had touched the door of a temple. He looked up and saw that it was the Buddhist building that worshipped the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Wang Mo was afraid that Shi Xiaobao would cause trouble, so he hurriedly chased after him.
If it were in the past, Wang Fan naturally did not believe in ghosts and gods, but now he is a cultivator, and he must believe even if he doesn’t believe it.
As Wen Jing said, the Yonghe Palace has a respectable status and a mysterious Tibetan Buddhism place. There must be masters in charge. If there is no conflict of interest, there is no need to offend it. After all, Tibetan Buddhism is not sectarian Buddhism or Mahayana Buddhism.
Among the three major Buddhist sects, Tibetan Buddhism has the least influence, but its influence is the greatest. Every believer is extremely pious. Under the influence of modern history, Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism have been corrupted by money and its influence is gradually declining.
"It's okay, I'll just take a look."
Shi Xiaobao was not interested in Buddhism and Taoism at all, but he was very interested in some religious treasures, because all religious holy objects were priceless.
Just as Shi Xiaobao was about to step into the threshold, a lama in red appeared in front of Shi Xiaobao without any warning.
"I want to burn incense, get out of here."
The lama in red did not speak, lowered his head, blocking the door, preventing Shi Xiaobao from entering.
"Xiaobao, don't be rude!" Wang St hurriedly stopped.
When the lama in red heard Wang Stupid's voice, his body suddenly burst out and raised his head. A pair of triangular eyes that could hardly see their eyes stared at Wang Stupid in a daze. Gradually, the dull look in his eyes turned into a look of horror, and my thin body actually trembled.
"Sorry, I'm disturbing." Wang St didn't know how to call the other party.
The lama took a step forward and kept saying something, but Wang Mo couldn't understand at all and was confused and could only ask Wen Jing for help.
"I can't understand either... Hey, I understand a few words." Wen Jing said.
"What did he say?"
"He said the relics and the Dharma-Ending Age."
"Relics... What is the Dharma-Ending Age?" Wang Mo suddenly realized that at the beginning, at the Sun Mountain Martial Arts Conference, Monk Jueming and Wu Xiong died on the ring, and then gave him a relic. It seems that this lama is not simple, and he can actually sense the relic in his body.
Wang Mo had heard of the word "Dharma-Ending Age", but the specific meaning was not clear.
"The devil king Ma Xun said: In the Dharma-Ending Age, he would let his demon sons and grandsons wear the Buddha's robes, eat the Buddha's food, and destroy the Buddha's precepts and Dharma. Setting up merit boxes in ancient temples was an opportunity to give to believers and plant a field of blessings, and they were voluntary. Because everyone was busy doing the Tao with peace of mind, and they also paid attention to keeping the precepts of money. If you don't take money with your hands, you should donate yourself to put it in the box..."
"Is this the Dharma-Ending Age?" Wang Mo was shocked.
"Yes."
"Then isn't it the Dharma-Ending Age?"
"Why do you say that?" Wen Jing was stunned.
"There is no merit box without a temple, and no temple without a temple will not receive incense money! The high tickets of famous temples have made it difficult for money believers to come to visit the door and worship the Buddha. Following the three vehicles of Bodhi taught by the Buddha, it becomes a transaction. Isn't this the Dharma-Ending Age?" Wang Fan discovered that the red-clothed Lama seemed to understand his words and nodded constantly.
"My understanding of Buddhism is only the basics." Wen Jing smiled bitterly.
"This great monk seemed to have something to say to me." Wang St looked at the red-clothed lama with an anxious face.
"Hehe, Brother Stupid, are you the stuff of being a monk? Otherwise, you can just take the precepts in this Yonghe Palace. In the future, we don't have to buy tickets, and we can also get some good things out..." Shi Xiaobao laughed.
Just as Shi Xiaobao was chatting, the lama in red suddenly walked up to Wang St, stretched out his thin hand, and pointed a finger at Wang St's forehead.
Seeing his fingers pointing over, Wang Mo hesitated for a moment and did not dodge. He could feel that the lama in red seemed to have no malicious intentions...
