There are two famous mountains in the Western Buddhist country. The first one is the famous Mount Sumeru, which is where the Great Thunder Sound is located and where many Buddhas practiced practice.
The second one is slightly less famous, it is Xuyu Mountain. Mount Sumeru is called the location of the Upper Nine Seats, which means Buddha's Light in ancient Sanskrit. And this Xuyu Mountain is where the next nine are located. The ancient Sanskrit meaning is the place where the Buddha's light is sheltered. From the names of these two mountains, we can understand the relationship between them. The status of Mount Xumi is obviously higher than that of Mount Xuyu.
Even so, Xuyu Mountain¡¯s status in the Buddhist kingdom is still very high.
Let¡¯s put it this way, using a word from the secular world, it can be described as ¨C under one mountain, above ten thousand mountains.
There are nine monasteries surrounding Xuyu Mountain.
These nine ashrams are not the ashrams of ordinary monks, but the ashrams of the nine bodhisattvas with the most special status in the Buddhist kingdom. They are the four pairs of assisting bodhisattvas: Manjushri Samantabhadra, Avalokitesvara Mahasthamaprapta, Sunlight Moonlight, and Vajrapani Vilamba. The last one left is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva from the East.
Among the nine great Bodhisattvas, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, in addition to his special identity of coming from the East, is also the Bodhisattva who has attained enlightenment the shortest time. In human terms, he is the least qualified.
Therefore, the nine ashrams are arranged in order, and the ashram of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is on the far left.
?????????????? In the Buddhist scriptures, the right side is respected, and the ashram on the far right is the Manjushri ashram, which is known as the ¡°head of the three hundred Bodhisattvas¡±.
Although these Taoist temples in Xuyu Mountain are all named after Bodhisattvas, these Taoist temples are not the regular training venues of Bodhisattvas. In other words, Bodhisattvas usually have their own realms for practice, such as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva¡¯s tearing hell and Guanyin Bodhisattva¡¯s Nanhai Great Immortal Peak. Only when they are on pilgrimage to the Buddha or there are major events in the Buddhist kingdom, they will stay in their own ashram when they return to the Buddhist kingdom. In short, it is equivalent to the "Beijing Office" of our secular culture.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva¡¯s dojo is located in the most remote location, so it has always been the most secluded. In addition, the Buddhist country has always had many speculations about this Bodhisattva from the Eastern world, so there are only a few people coming and going.
Since evacuating from the Tearing Hell, the Bodhisattva has been practicing in this ashram, living in a simple and simple way, which is quite leisurely.
However, today¡¯s dojo is different from the past, it is very lively.
强牺 baolaixsw.com 读牺。Not only several Bodhisattvas came, There are also many vajras, venerables, and even eminent monks stationed in various dojos in the Buddhist kingdom. In addition, there are also some people, ghosts, demons, and spirits who have entered Buddhism, and they are also merging during this period.
As for why so many people came today, it is because today is the grand gathering of the Western Heaven Buddhist Kingdom that is held every five years - the Uncensored Conference.
The Uncensored Assembly is a fast meeting held every five years in Buddhism to give alms to monks and laypeople. The so-called Uncensored means to be inclusive without blocking. On this day, people from all over the Buddhist country form good ties, regardless of the noble or the humble, the monks or the secular, the wise, the foolish, the kind. All evils are treated equally. Of course, as the center of world Buddhism, the Uncensored Conference has another significance in the Buddhist country, that is, the upper echelons of the Buddhist country will hold so-called "Dharma debates." If the Buddhist Kingdom is compared to a martial arts conference, then today's Wu Zhi Conference in the Buddhist Kingdom is equivalent to a martial arts conference, where hundreds of Buddhist sects will determine the ranking.
It stands to reason that the Uncensored Conference will usually be held at the ashram of Mount Sumeru, but this year is an exception. The Buddha personally named it to be held at the ashram of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and also ordered eminent monks and virtuous men from the four ashrams to attend.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows the Buddha¡¯s intentions. After all, the dispute between Zangmen and the Jin family is no longer a secret.
As a Zen Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha is also a member of the Zangmen. When Zangmen is in a weak situation, he holds an unobstructed meeting in the Ksitigarbha Dojo, which is obviously a deliberate move.
However, whether it was an agreement or a coincidence, Manjushri Samantabhadra and Avalokitesvara Mahasthamaprapta, as the head of the Bodhisattvas, did not participate. The only ones who came to assist the Bodhisattva were sunlight, moonlight, Vajrapani and Vilamba. As for the remaining eminent monks and great virtues, most of them are from the gold system.
And as we all know, the core of the Buddhist gold system is Vajrapani Bodhisattva.
Therefore, from the beginning, this was destined to be a conference with less fighting against more.
As expected, throughout the day, many eminent monks were debating with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva almost all the time. The theme of the debate is also extremely simple, that is, whether Buddhism should be a great or a small one. Since Buddhism wants to spread, why can't we take advantage of the chaos in the Eastern world to penetrate the Buddhist Dharma?
Although he fights alone, a Bodhisattva is a Bodhisattva after all, and there is something inside him.The love of the world, the wisdom of the Dharma, understand the Buddha's scriptures at the top, and understand the laws of hundreds of tribes at the bottom. Therefore, at the end of the day, whether in terms of momentum or Dharma principles, the Bodhisattva does not lose a single point.
Originally, when things got here, it could be over.
But when Vajrapani Bodhisattva saw that he could not suppress Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he bluntly relied on his status as a Bodhisattva to precede Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and asked that the Uncovered Conference be extended to three days and that the debate would continue tomorrow. The most unexpected moment was that after the news reached Mount Sumeru, the Buddhas actually agreed to Vajrapani's request. In a sense, this can be regarded as a signal that the upper echelons of the Buddhist country are very interested in the Eastern world
After seeing off many eminent monks attending the conference, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva returned to his inner residence with a calm face.
This time .com* Zhang Si. The great monk Min Gong had been serving around him. Seeing the Bodhisattva being besieged by others, he felt injustice for the Bodhisattva.
"My lord, I think you should simply stop participating tomorrow. The Buddha actually agreed to Vajrapani Bodhisattva's request. Obviously, they support the metal system. In this case, isn't this just making things difficult for you? We have no intention of persisting. It¡¯s necessary.¡±
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said calmly: "If you understand the Buddha's words, you must practice the Buddha's way. How can I keep silent because I have few enemies and few enemies? Since the Buddha is still willing to set up a conference here, it shows that he is willing to give Tibetans Give me a chance to argue. If I give up so easily, I'm afraid it will really be a big mess."
"Sir, I think you are too obsessed. Just because we are from the Eastern world, do you defend the East?" Dao Ming blinked at the side and murmured: "As the saying goes, Buddhism is boundless. , to save all sentient beings. Spreading Buddhism eastward and introducing it into the Eastern world is also the creation of all things. Why do you have to firmly oppose it?"
Looking at this disciple who was still pretending in front of him, the Bodhisattva shook his head, smiled lightly, and was about to beat him to give him a chance. As a result, the moment he raised his hand to pinch the lotus fingers, he actually caught a trace of the demon clan's aura.
"Mr. Min, how many demon clans are there among the monks today?"
Duke Min hurriedly said: "Returning to the Bodhisattvas, there are more than a hundred of them. They are all enlightened demon couples from various fairy mountains and mounts of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas."
"Is there anyone staying in the hospital?"
Control the big one and control the owl. "Hui Xianzun, no." Min Gong said frankly: "Most of these monster monks are also supporters of the gold system, how could they stay in the hospital."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva frowned and said calmly: "It seems that another guest has arrived."
