Chapter 794 The real Buddha in the ancient temple
Mengyang entered the cave, but was disappointed to find that there was nothing in the cave except a pair of white bones, strands of cassock hanging on the bones, a string of decayed rosary beads at his feet, and a decayed wooden fish.
It seems that it is not an adventure, but just a cave where ordinary people are buried.
However, Meng Yang was keenly aware of several suspicious things. First, the bodies of ordinary soldiers did not decay due to the influence of the aura of war, but the corpses in the cave did, leaving only a pair of white bones. You know, the cave
It is nothing in the outside world, but in the ancient crystal Jedi, it is a privilege that only those with noble status can enjoy. The people inside the cave must be stronger than the soldiers outside the cave. Why has it become corrupted?
Secondly, the white bones are still flawless. If you look carefully, you can see that the surface is covered with a faint white light. This also shows that the deceased was very strong during his lifetime. However, the body was decayed, and the rosary beads and wooden fish used were also
They are all ordinary.
The doubts were doubtful, but they had no real effect. There was no gain, and Meng Yang was not much disappointed.
Before Lin Li accepted him as his disciple, Meng Yang was a hunter. As a hunter, he would inevitably die in the mouths of monsters, leaving only a pile of rotten bones. Therefore, as a hunter, a tradition was gradually passed down that whenever he encountered the hunter's corpse
, help bury it. Help others, and if you are in danger in the future, someone will help you.
Meng Yang saw a pile of bones in the cave. Although he gained nothing, he decided to bury him and put him to rest.
Meng Yang took out a piece of his own clothes, spread it on the ground, and placed the bones leaning against the wall on the clothes.
When all the bones were picked up, a line of small words appeared under the bones where the finger bones should have been, "Donor, please send me back. Donor will have guidance when he goes to Great Florida."
“Great Florida?”
Meng Yang was about to dig a hole and bury the wrapped bones. When he saw the words on the ground, he couldn't help but think, "My father often said that the greatest pain is not to be able to leave the whole body after death, and not to be able to return to its roots, so he told me to
The bones found in the wilderness must be buried, and those with tokens that can identify their identities must be sent back. However, Great Florida is too far away, can I... go there?"
"Go ahead."
Meng Yang finally decided to wrap up the bones on the ground to see if they were all missing, and then walked out of the cave.
"Master also went to Great Florida. I don't know if I can see Master."
…
After losing the transmission function of the light curtain, in the golden Buddhist kingdom, I saw pavilions, pavilions and Buddhist halls. I was overwhelmed for a while and didn't know which one to go to. There are tens of thousands of Buddhist halls, most of them are
It was idle and empty, and it would be in vain to go there. If it weren't for the previous guidance of Yin Qi, he wouldn't have been able to find the main hall where Yan Yutian was.
Now, where to go?
At this moment, the "Prajna" Buddha beads in Lin Li's arms shone brightly, making him feel a lot calmer. Moreover, the beads conveyed a thought, and Lin Li had a feeling, as if the beads were guiding him, allowing him to
He goes to a place.
"The identity of the owner of the prayer beads is unusual. I wonder if he is a monk from the original Buddhist ruins. Now that the beads are sensitive, can he really lead me to find another Buddhist fate?"
Lin Li gathered his mood and headed in the direction. As he walked on the decaying stone road, the vicissitudes of the buildings passing by him became more and more intense.
It seems that every time you walk, an era has passed, and the sense of the times is getting stronger and older.
Gradually, the place Lin Li entered could be described as dilapidated. The stone slabs on the ground had decayed into stones and stone powder. Some seemingly hard stones turned into a puddle of powder when he stepped on them.
.
I can vaguely distinguish the color of the original stone slabs, which are dark blue, with grass growing between the gaps. There are kerosene lighthouses half as tall as a man on the roadside, and weeds are growing on both sides.
There are actually weeds growing. This is the only thing with signs of life that Lin Li has seen since entering the Buddhist ruins. Only here can weeds grow, returning to nature.
Among the weeds, you can see towers, densely packed in rows and rows. These towers are not high, the highest is only three feet high, and the other towers are one foot high, two feet high. Standing among the weeds, they look like
A random pile of stones.
But it’s better to have more.
A place where many trees grow becomes a forest; a place where many towers rise is called a forest of towers.
"Wait a minute, those pagodas look like the pagodas recorded in Buddhist scriptures!"
Lin Li was shocked.
He knew something about it because he had read Buddhist scriptures for several days. The pagoda forest was a pagoda built to store the remains or relics of monks. It was also called a tomb pagoda. The pagoda forest was an important place for Buddhism and could also be called a forbidden area.
Behind the pagoda is an ancient temple, covering an area of 30 to 40 acres. It is quite grand, but it is not as magnificent as other places, and it does not have much powerful Buddha power. It is just ordinary blue bricks and yellow tiles. Fortunately,
It is still standing and has not collapsed.
This oldest temple is the center of the entire Buddhist kingdom. Lin Li guessed that the entire Buddhist kingdom was built around this ancient temple, like the trunk and branches of a tree. It just makes people wonder, such an old and out of place temple,
Why hasn't it been renovated or rebuilt?
The prayer beads in Lin Li's arms pointed to the temple. Lin Li had no choice but to continue walking forward.
The stone steps in front of the temple were not seriously decayed. Lin Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he stepped on them without breaking them.
Looking up at the trembling temple, Lin Li was frightened. This is a dangerous building and must be demolished!
In the main hall of the temple, a Buddha statue stands.
This is a golden Buddha. Lin Li stood outside the door and looked at it. He felt as if he was sitting in the void, surrounded by countless sun, moon and stars, all blessing the golden Buddha with their light.
This golden Buddha's eyes are slightly closed, his legs are crossed, his hands are in a mudra, and his expression is peaceful, but unlike the majesty of the Buddha statues in other temples, it exudes a kind and familiar atmosphere.
In fact, Lin Li even had a feeling that this Buddha was his previous life from thousands of lives ago.
"This is the real Buddha statue. This expression and temperament can resonate with people. It has the artistic conception of becoming a Buddha."
Buddha's teachings emphasize the equality of all living beings, and everyone can become a Buddha.
The real Buddha statue is not majestic or huge, but after looking at it, people feel that this Buddha is their own previous life. It radiates the Buddha nature and Taoist heart of people.
From a Buddha statue, Lin Li could see that the original teachings of Buddhism are truly compassionate and save all living beings. This is the real Buddha, with no selfish motives. It seems possible that the cutting of meat to feed tigers recorded in the Buddhist scriptures is true.
.
Unlike today's Buddhism, even Fayuan Temple, where Buddhism originated, has its own calculations, and the excuse of "for the inheritance of Buddhism" is still selfish in the final analysis.
"It seems that the original teachings of Buddhism were correct, but deviations gradually occurred during the subsequent preaching, which led to the current results."
Lin Li thinks so. (Note, the views are from Zhou Guoping.)
