2. Maitreya true Maitreya

The so-called "Maitreya's Faith in the Ultimate Bliss" is to virtually build a "Tushi Heavenly Pure Land" or "Amitabha Pure Land" outside the Pure Land of Buddhism. This Pure Land was created by Maitreya Buddha, which is different from the Pure Land, because there are still desires in this Pure Land, such as magnificent palaces, beautiful nectar, stunning celestial women, etc., but this view of Pure Land is the most popular among the general public. Few people really want to have all the four elements empty. So as long as everyone respects Maitreya devoutly, they can ascend to this Pure Land after death.

The person who can be reborn in the Pure Land is naturally Maitreya Buddha. The monk Daoan from the Southern and Northern Dynasties often met with his disciples, Dao Vow, Tan Jie, etc., and vowed in front of the Maitreya Dharma statue, wishing to be reborn in the Tushita Heaven after death. Later, before Tan Jie died, he recited the Maitreya Dharma name and the disciple asked him why he did not vow to go to the Western Paradise? Tan Jie said, I had agreed with Master Daoan and eight others to go to the Tushita Heaven Pure Land after death. Now Master, Dao Vow has gone. If I don’t go, wouldn’t I betrayal?

Maitreya is waiting for you in the Pure Land, so it is called "Supremn Life".

The "Maitreya's Faith in the Lower Life" is more radical. Many believers in suffering in troubled times are unwilling to place their hopes in the illusory after-death world. They yearn to be saved in this world, so they create a story about the birth of Maitreya. As long as this person comes to the world, he can build a "pure land on earth" with the support of believers.

Believing that Maitreya will bring the Pure Land in Heaven to the earth is called "Faith in the Next Generation".

Of course, the belief in the life became more and more radical later, and combined with the resistance to secular rule, the Maitreya uprising that we were very familiar with later formed.

Gao Yue couldn't help but laugh and asked the master if you believe in the upper life or the lower life.

Who would have thought that Ming Xuan answered seriously, "The upper birth is for the lower birth, and the lower birth is for the upper birth. Maitreya Buddha created the Pure Land and saved sentient beings, and combined it into one. If there is no Pure Land, why did believers make their original vows? If there is no salvation, who will believers be reborn in Tushita? So why should Tan Yue divide the upper and lower levels!"

"Pure land is to save, and salvation is to save the Pure Land." At this time, Gao Yue seemed to have learned something and murmured and stood up.

At this time, the sky was cloudy and the originally gorgeous sun disappeared behind the dark clouds, and the thunder gradually became louder and clearer.

Gao Yue was still walking back and forth in the yard, saying what he had just said.

Originally, he would have been a little sad because of his estrangement with Zheng Zhi, but now he had a two-part conversation with Pan Yan and then Ming Xuan, which made him understand completely.

Why should I be attached to my appearance and be entangled in my personal friendship? Since I think what I have done is right and can seek "rescue" and "pure land" for the whole world, then I will go on without hesitation.

I will finish the way I should take.

I will implement the heart that should be kept.

I will do my best to save those who are not allowed to be saved.

Even if I become what I once hated the most, I will not hesitate to do so.

At this time, a few thunders, the raindrops fell violently, and a string of green smoke was smashed. A fresh smell of earth floated around. The branches and leaves swayed in the wind, with the sound of sea tides. Gao Yue walked back to the Buddhist temple of Alanta Temple in order to hide from the rain.

Mingxuan had just lit a candle. Gao Yue saw that there was a verse written on the screen in the Buddhist temple, and he couldn't help but recite it:

Maitreya true Maitreya,

A million clones,

Show people at all times,

People at that time didn't know it.

At this moment, the lightning in the courtyard was blowing down, illuminating the verse on the screen.

"I, Gao Ziyang, could it be that Maitreya who fell in this world by chance?" Gao Yue Daxu realized.

People at that time didn't know it, and even their wife Yun Shao didn't know the details of her. Even Yang Miaoer and Wang Tuantuan from Pingkangfang probably just thought they were unknown, but they didn't expect that they had completely come from a different era.

"The clones are hundreds of billions..."

At this time, Monk Mingxuan nodded and took over his words, "As long as you have the wish to save the world, everyone is a clone of Maitreya."

"Yes, mage, I understand, please feel free, please feel free!"

Outside the courtyard, thousands of mountains and winds were mixed with wind and rain, shaving Gao Yue's clothes full of wrinkles, and completely extinguished some of his original hesitation. It was indeed destroyed, but the heart fire was naturally cool. Then the lightning flashed for several times, and the rain immediately dissipated without a trace. The entire Mingtang courtyard returned to silence, leaving only the remaining rain dripping from the eaves and branches, with a crisp and delicate sound.

Gao Yue lifted his pen from the small table next to him, and also worked hard to write a poem on the other side of the screen:

From the beginning of no entry, there is rain and clouds gather,

There is no thunder and fire,

Sales are all illusions.

Why fear the hustle and bustle of idle mouth?

Then Gao Yue threw the pen and said to Master Mingxuan, "I also hope that I am one of the Maitreya clones."

"Nat Tan Yue can call himself 'confidence' from now on."

"Well, mage, now the 57th canals of Baoxie City, Xingyuan Prefecture are blocked, and the fertile soil in the past has turned into a salted land. Are you willing to do it? Do you think it is this Maitreya?"

"Tan Yue had already sent letters to the salted land. I have learned the solution from the farming books of all generations. I am willing to follow Gao Tanyue to Xingyuan Mansion for a year and a half."

"Go, go, let's join forces to break the stone beach and change the soil. I will also make a vow in Xingyuan Mansion to build a Buddhist courtyard."

July is the season of fire, but the entire Xingyuan Prefecture is a season of constant summer rain, which makes several rivers rise and the Han River rise several feet.

However, when the Dazhu River boat yard was built, the project of Tianhan Louzi City began as scheduled.

At the same time, Gao Yue, Master Mingxuan, and Baocheng County Magistrate Jie Shanji stood on the towering mountain river dam.

"This dam is also known as Xiao Heyan. It is said that it was built by Xiao He, the prime minister of Han. After Xiao He was defeated, he was completed by Cao Shen of the Prime Minister." Jie Shanji found the earliest origin of Shanheyan from the county government's documents.

Shanheyan, located two miles south of Baocheng County, happened to be crossed over the Baoshui River. There were six weir holes in total to regulate the hydraulic power. Now they are all silted and disrepaired, and cannot provide irrigation for the fields. Baoshui changed from the side to detour. After the drought, the salting of the land became worse, so it was impossible to plant crops for dozens of miles around.

When the Bao River flowed to the west of Xingyuan Prefecture, it was very normal. Now there are Shayan, Guangtong, Yangtou, etc., and there are fertile fields around it.

But now if you want to open a military camp, you still have to think of a way from Shanheyan.

It was not easy for Gao Yue and others to climb the mountain river dam. They came up in small boats. Now several people stood on the dam. The rising Baoshui over there was really like its commonly known name, like a furious "black dragon" (Bao Shui also known as Heilongjiang). It rushed from the rugged Qinling Mountains for hundreds of miles, hovering and roaring, and biting the earth embankment that hit the mountain river dam. It rose to the top. Gao Yue and others felt that the land under their feet was trembling. I don’t know when this fierce black dragon would angrily throw its tail, crush the mountain river dam, and flood the land there into a vast ocean.

Who would have thought that after looking at the situation, Master Mingxuan said calmly, "First someone builds five feet high, then dig it open, then close the downstream Shawei, Guangtongwei, and Yangtouwei, and flood all the land from here to Chiya Pass."

What, not only does it not stop summer floods, but it will dig up the dam and flood the land?
