The Great Enlightenment

Lingshan.

Great Leiyin Temple.

Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

Outside the gate of the palace, countless small thousand worlds collide with each other. Every moment, tens of thousands of small thousand worlds are annihilated here. Relying on countless vast worlds, the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas has stood in nothingness since ancient times. In the middle, it stands on the bank of the shadow of the long river of time.

A majestic Buddha of the eight realms walked to the gate of the hall, looking at the phantom cast by the vast river of time, with a vaguely dignified expression.

After a few breaths, another Sumeru Dharma Protector appeared under the gate of the temple, bowed to the Buddha of the Eight Realms, and said in a deep voice: Venerable Ananda, under the seat of the Buddha statue of the Burning Lamp Buddha, there is a Chanting scriptures and Buddha statues gave birth to visions.

Venerable Ananda, one of the disciples of the World Honored One, looks like a full moon in autumn, eyes like green lotus flowers, broke through the cycle of reincarnation before immeasurable kalpas, and is now guarding the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas. joy.

Withdrawing his eyes from the phantom of the long river of time, Venerable Ananda glanced at the respectful Sumi Guardian beside him, and said calmly: What kind of vision?

Protector Xumi presented a roll of golden silk with both hands, and said: The Ancient Buddha Scroll of Mahayana Buddhism held in his hand has been transformed into The Past Buddha of the Three Buddhas of the Three Times.

Venerable Ananda didn't seem to be surprised. He took the scroll, looked at it carefully for a while, and said softly, This is a terrible omen.

Guardian Xumi looked puzzled, and said: I am stupid, I hope the venerable can speak clearly.

Venerable Ananda tied the scroll of brocade in his arms, looked towards the phantom of the long river outside the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, and said, Do you know where the state and sky come from?

Guardian Xumi nodded and said: In ancient times, there was endless chaos between the heaven and the earth. Suddenly one day, the pure and turbid Qi split, and the clear one became the sky, and the turbid one became the earth. The heaven and the earth first opened, and the three realms transformed , is the boundary of the state and sky where we are.

This statement is correct, but not entirely correct. Venerable Ananda smiled, Before the sun and the moon were chaotic and the three realms were not divided, there was an extremely long period of time. This period of time existed before the opening of the sky. Immeasurable at all, unimaginable at all, even the ages you and I have lived through, are not even babies in front of this time.

Guardian Xumi looked solemn and listened quietly.

Venerable Ananda once again opened the brocade in his hand, and recited the Sanskrit on it in a low voice: In the past, on the day when the Buddha was first born, all directions were bright, the sun, moon and fire beads were useless, and everything around him was like a lamp, so it is called Burn the lamp.

After he became a Buddha, the Buddha was tabooed as the ancient Buddha of burning lamps, and he was the ancestor of all Buddhas in the past.

At this point, Venerable Ananda looked sideways at Guardian Sumeru, But, in this realm of heaven and heaven, have you ever heard of the existence of the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha?

Guardian Sumeru shook his head and said, The Blessed One's immeasurable Buddha light shines through the ages, but the past Buddhas only existed in the past, and never appeared in this world.

Venerable Ananda nodded and said: I don't know whether the so-called past Buddhas existed, but the Buddhas under him really existed, and they actually existed in the time before the opening of the sky. Trapped in the long time before the opening of the sky, there will never be an end.

As long as there are records of 'past Buddhas' in Mahayana Buddhism, they will never be able to break free from the shackles of this period of time.

Guardian Xumi felt chills in his heart when he heard it, clasped his palms together, and performed a Buddhist salute towards the highest place of Daleiyin Temple, saying: My Buddha is merciful, so all the Buddhas under the seat of the ancient burning lamp Buddha have such a history!

The Venerable Ananda pointed to the Past Buddhas of the Three Buddhas of Longevity in his hand, and said: Just now you realized that the Ancient Buddha Scroll of Mahayana Buddhism has been transformed into this thing, and it is telling us that there is something wrong. omen.

Protector Xumi's eyes were focused, and he said, Dare to ask your lord, what is the omen?

Venerable Ananda sighed, and said: If one day, all the records about the ancient Buddha gradually dissipate, and the time before the opening of the sky finally comes to an end, all the Buddhas under the seat of the ancient Buddha burning lamp will be in that kind Break free from endless torment, what will they do?

Guardian Xumi's face turned pale, and he said, But even if they come out of that period of time, they only exist before the opening of the sky, which is infinitely far away from now, what can they do?

Venerable Ananda shook his head and said, That's not the case. The World-Honored One once said that everything in the world has its 'nature', not just the heavens and earth, all spirits, even time and space have their 'nature'.

If the Buddhas under the ancient Buddha seat of the burning lamp really walked out of that period of time, they would come to this world across the long and boundless years from before the opening of the sky to today in a way that we cannot understand.

Even if I'm as dull as I am, after going through countless kalpas, I've reached transcendence, broken samsara, and entered the eighth realm.

The period of time spent by the Buddhas under the seat of the ancient burning lamp Buddha, plus the years of endless torture before the opening of the sky, thousands of immeasurable kalpas are innumerable.

Thinking about it this way, if they really come to this world... I'm afraid it will be a terrifying catastrophe that will sweep across the realm of the state and sky.

Hearing this, Guardian Xumi's complexion was extremely pale, and he lost his composure and said, Venerable Ananda, did the World Honored One know about this?!

Venerable Ananda said plainly: The World Honored One can hear and observe the three worlds with just a pinch of his fingers, knowing the past and the future, how can he not know?

Only then did Guardian Xumi's expression soften a little, and he said, Did the World-Honored One ever say, how should we break the catastrophe?

Venerable Ananda glanced at him, shook his head again, and said: The World Honored One is the current Buddha of the third Buddha. Although his mana power is countless, it is inseparable from the third Buddha. The matter of the Buddhas under the seat is a predetermined number before the formation of the realm of the state and heaven, and it is also a kalpa of the realm of the state and heaven, and no living beings can break free.

It's not just the realm of the state and sky, any great galaxy has a realm of robbery, and the same is true for the realm of life locks that is adjacent to the realm of our state and sky. Nothing can be done.

The realm of detachment, the realm of reincarnation, and the realm of looking into the sky, these three realms are collectively referred to as the three realms of holding the world, because the creatures in these three realms have transcended the world and can feed back the great world of the galaxy that gave birth to them to some extent. Also known as the spirit of holding the world.

At this point, Venerable Ananda turned around, holding the volume of The Past Buddhas of the Three Buddhas, and walked slowly into the depths of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall.

Besides, you're a little bit out of shape.

Thank you Venerable Ananda for your teaching.

Guardian Sumeru stared blankly at the place where Venerable Ananda had left, until he heard the last words left by him, he couldn't help but come back to his senses, put his hands together, and performed a Buddhist salute respectfully, His face was extremely devout.

...

After he left, the phantom of the long river of time in front of the gate of the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas suddenly appeared with water splashes. After a few breaths, these water splashes gradually disappeared and merged into the phantom of the calm and waveless long river. no trace.
