Chapter 984: Heaven and the world, I am the only one who respects me


    Lu Yang''s mouth twitched, and the story of Kaihuang Temple making a fortune was really unexpected.


    "Xi Tian Temple is also the orthodox Buddhist Kingdom, so it shouldn''t be a killer..."


    Master Duanchen stroked his white beard: "If a monk does not kill, the abbot''s life should be worry-free. It is hard to say what treatment is beyond life. We have no fate with Xitian Temple. If we want to find out the whereabouts of the abbot."


    "After that abbot disappeared, the scale of Kaihuang Temple has never changed and has no enterprising spirit."


    "After I become the abbot, I make a great wish to make Kaihuang Temple prosperous, with an average annual passenger flow of 10 million people."


    "In order to fulfill my ambition, I worked hard to govern and find ways to expand the popularity of Kaihuang Temple, so that Kaihuang City can become comparable to a large city, and make the people in the city live a better life."


    “…Master, your ambition is quite detailed.”


    "This is natural. The two donors should have never come to our Buddha''s Kingdom. I don''t know how we made great wishes. The ambitions made in our Buddha''s Kingdom have always been very accurate. If we only make one ambition to "incense flourish", how should we set the criteria for judgment?"


    "What does it mean to be incense? One day, one million donors suddenly came. Is it considered to be incense? Is it considered to be incense after buying the incense of the entire temple for the New Year? Is it considered to be incense when the temple ignites all the incense? Is it considered to be incense when all the incense is ignited?"


    "When the standards are undecided, ambitions are just talk and can never be fulfilled."


    "The master has really put an effort into Kaihuang Temple, which is admirable."


    Master Duan Chen smiled and said, "Monks do not lie, but I am not that great. Kaihuang Temple is incense. I am naturally abstinent of good things. I am abbot of this monk. I can still fulfill my ambition. Why not do it?"


    As far as Lu Yang knows, 50% of the incense money obtained by each temple belongs to him, 30% are used to shape the golden body for the Buddha, and 20% are handed over to Xitian Temple.


    Cultivating immortals is inseparable from the word "wealth". The more the incense in Kaihuang Temple is, the more spirit stones Master Duanchen will obtain, which can be used for practice.


    Originally, Master Duanchen thought it was too late and wanted to take Lu Yang and the other two to the guest house to rest, but Lu Yang felt that the opportunity was rare, so it would be better to go to the Main Hall to see it. He had only seen the Main Hall built by the immortal fairy in the spiritual space before, but he had never seen it in reality.


    Meng Jingzhou had never been to the Main Hall and agreed with Lu Yang''s proposal.


    Master Duanchen introduced Lu Yang and the other two into the main hall. The golden statue of the Tathagata Buddha was located in the center, holding a flower and smiling, and saving people with compassion.


    It was already night, the main hall was brightly lit, and the Buddha statue reflected the light of candlelight, looking extremely sacred.


    "What''s the best thing about the Great Hall? The Great Hall built by this immortal for you is the most authentic one." The immortal fairy pouted. According to Buddhist scriptures, as the founder of Buddhism, she is located in the Great Hall, which is sacred and inviolable.


    In the spiritual space, at the end of the desert, a Main Hall rises from the ground, which is even more brilliant than the Main Hall of Kaihuang Temple.


    In the center of the treasure hall, an immortal fairy wearing a Western-style squatted on the lotus platform with one foot, and his other foot was placed on his thigh, his hands clasped together to charm all living beings.


    Lu Yang looked at the Main Hall in the spiritual space, and then at the Main Hall in reality, and felt that it was more authentic in reality.


    "Master, I heard that the Mu Buddha Festival is a festival to celebrate the birth of the Buddha?" On the way, Lu Yang learned in detail about the origin of the Mu Buddha Festival, so as not to understand nothing in the Buddha country, and it was like coming to travel.


    "What Lu donor said is right. According to legend, in ancient times, the Buddha would walk when he was born. He stepped on a lotus flower on each of his feet, pointing one hand to the sky and the other to the ground, saying, ''I am the only one in the world''."


    "In order to commemorate the birth of the Buddha, this day is set as the Buddha''s birthday and a Buddha bathing activity is held."


    Meng Jingzhou interrupted: "I am the only one in the world. The Buddha said this.


    Master Duan Chen smiled and said in a hurry: "It''s not surprising that Donor Meng has this misunderstanding. Many people in the world have misunderstandings about this, thinking that the World Honored One is an arrogant person, but in fact it is not."


    "The deep meaning of the ''I'' here is the ''Buddha nature'' that every sentient being possesses, which refers to the ''true self'' that is perfect and pure'' in all places, which is also the ''I'' that is ''every happy and self-purity'' mentioned in the Nirvana Sutra."


    "The "Ruiying Sutra" says: ''I am the only one who respects the world in heaven, and all the three realms are suffering, so how can you be happy?'' It can be seen that the ''respecting'' here mainly refers to the important responsibility of saving the suffering of the people."


    "So the original meaning of this sentence is that the Buddha said that he was born with the mission of saving sentient beings, and that he should save sentient beings from the sea of ??suffering of life and death, and that the same should be true when he became a Buddha."


    Listening to Master Duanchen citing scriptures to help him understand this sentence, they are all Buddhist scriptures that he has never heard of. Meng Jingzhou nodded frequently because he misunderstood the Buddha.


    In the spiritual space, the immortal fairy standing on the lotus platform scratched her head when she heard this.


    "Ah? Isn''t this what I am going to defeat Ying Tianxian and the other four. I had a sudden inspiration and learned what Ying Tianxian said in his tone?"


    "I think this is quite domineering and can describe my ability very well. I asked Ying Tianxian and others to put it in when compiling Buddhist scriptures, indicating that I am the leader of the five ancient immortals."


    "What else does this sentence mean?"


    Meng Jingzhou joined ten: "I didn''t expect that the Buddha''s heart was the world, but I misunderstood him."


    Master Duanchen smiled slightly: "The World Honored One has great wisdom, great perseverance, and great compassion. I wonder if the Donor of Men has heard of it. When the World Honored One realized the truth under the Bodhi tree, the Demon Buddha Boxun sent three witches to show diligently and charm them to interfere with the World Honored One''s enlightenment. The World Honored One is not disturbed by the witch, and has realized the truth for seven days, has achieved enlightenment and has achieved great wisdom."


    "After the Buddha attained enlightenment, the Buddha''s light shone with thousands of feet, and even the four ancient immortals came to congratulate him."


    "There is still this." Meng Jingzhou had never been in contact with Buddhism before. Now, when he heard Master Duanchen telling the story of the Buddha''s past, he felt that the Buddha''s name was really admirable.


    "When it comes to Bodhi Tree, I thought I had achieved great success in cooking and wanted to write a "Cooking Collection" to benefit all the ages, so I wrote this book under the Bodhi Tree. Xiaoling, Lianyi, Qinghe and the three of them always like to circle around me, let me play with them, and interfere with my immortal writing books."


    "It''s strange. I remember that Xiao Ling and the other three left for something. They shouldn''t have appeared there. Is it an illusion caused by someone, or an inner demon or something."


    "Anyway, I have a strong willpower and was not disturbed by them. It took me seven days to finally get the "Cooking Collection"."


    "Then the Nine-Chief Fairy came over with several golden crows, which was so bright that she almost burned all the books she had just written. Later, Ying Tianxian and the others came over to congratulate me one after another. I saw that they were very happy to smile and cried with joy."


    Lu Yang looked at Meng Jingzhou and Master Duanchen having a happy chat, thinking about whether to tell the truth about the World Honored One.
