In the eyes of outsiders, the position of the Lord of the Pure Land may be honor, authority, and status.
But in Ran Deng’s eyes, there is only cause and effect!
And it’s a huge cause and effect!
In the past, two saints from Western religions made up for their own shortcomings with their great aspirations and enlightenment.
Because of this, he attained the holy status and became a saint.
But because of this, I owe heaven a great cause and effect.
If the great wish of enlightenment cannot be fulfilled, the backlash of heaven will come immediately!
Even the Second Saint had managed to make a lot of preparations before taking the oath.
But, ambition is ambition.
Since you have made great aspirations, you must achieve them.
If you fail to do so, God will punish you!
With such cause and effect, let alone Ran Deng, even the two saints could not resist it!
What's more, in order to achieve enlightenment, the two saints made more than one great wish?
As far as Ran Deng knows, there are dozens of great wishes just to guide the saints!
and……
In Western religion, it is not just saints who have great aspirations.
Which of the Vajras, Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas is not the great wish to attain enlightenment?
This is also helpless!
The Western way of teaching starts with great aspirations.
Xiniuhezhou is also a barren land, a foreign land, not as good as Nanzhanbuzhou, which is blessed with treasures and splendor. It is also the Taoist dojo and the core of the three realms.
Naturally, talents are hard to come by, spiritual energy is barren, treasures are scarce, and cultivating the Tao is difficult.
In order to prove their enlightenment, the two saints had searched the entire Xiniu Hezhou.
If we don’t make great ambitions at this time, what can we do?
But this great wish was made, and it came true.
But it’s not that easy to pay it back!
Over time, even water can penetrate stone! Not to mention great ambitions?
Therefore, the Pure Land Buddha taught in the West is not so easy to make.
If you are not careful, you will die!
Thinking of these, Ran Deng's Taoist heart sighed quietly.
He only regretted that he had been plotted back then, thinking that he was coming to the West to enjoy blessings, but unexpectedly he fell into the scheme of the two saints.
As soon as the great wish was made, the Buddha's incarnation was cut out, heaven and man interacted, and the moment cause and effect intersected, Ran Deng knew that he had been calculated.
What is the Lord of the Pure Land in the Western Heaven and the Buddha supported by ten thousand Buddhas?
It's clearly a trap.
But I had no choice but to get on the pirate ship.
There are only two ways.
One, find a way to jump out.
But this is impossible!
Two saints, now that you have been invited to enter the urn, why are they so easy to dance?
This second way is to just hope that the plan of the two saints can succeed!
With the great rise of Western religion, everything will go well!
But the road is extremely difficult.
The difficulties ahead are even more unspeakable!
Because the great prosperity of the West means the decline of the East.
At least, the destiny of the West must be equal to that of the East.
Needless to say, this road is difficult!
Nanzhan Buzhou is the ancestral land of the human race. It is favored by heaven and protected by Xuanmen.
Unless there are a few more civil strife like the Catastrophe of the Gods, allowing Western religions to fish in troubled waters.
Or, simply allow Western religions to take over the eastern land and establish an earthly Buddhist kingdom in Nanzhanbuzhou.
Then based on this, let the two saints transcend.
This road is extremely difficult and arduous.
However, no matter how difficult it is, we can only go on with courage.
This matter is the biggest secret within Western religion.
I'm afraid no one knows about it except the saints.
When the thought came to this point, Ran Deng's Taoist heart became a little cold.
He recalled the calm and even encouraging eyes of the Yuanshi Saint when he rebelled against the Chan Sect in the past.
At that time, he was carried away by the benefits promised by the Second Saint of the West and thought he was getting a big advantage.
Now that I think about it...
The Yuanshi Saint didn't care about his rebellion.
It was because he knew that he and the people he brought had stepped into the quagmire!
The sage is mocking: He does not overestimate his own abilities.
It’s also a sarcastic statement: short-sighted!
He's even watching a joke: let's see how it ends!
Ran Deng thought about it, his eyes softened, he looked at the person in front of him, and said softly: "The poor monk is here to congratulate fellow Taoist!"
Duobao is great!
Ran Deng wished that the Buddhist body he had chopped off today would be destroyed, so that Sakyamuni could be born immediately and take charge of the Western Pure Land, so that he could hand over this disaster and separate the cause and effect from himself.
In this way, we can slowly figure it out and think of solutions.
Naturally, Ran Deng and other parties joined in.
Whether it is those who want to penetrate the West or those who want to erode the West.
The Buddha did not refuse anyone who came, and opened the door wide for convenience, allowing people with a predestined destiny to come in droves.
He has chosen many targets.
The Taoist friend in front of me is one of them.
Even if you know clearly that the other party actually has no good intentions towards the West.
But what does it matter?
The West has opened its door to convenience, and no one will be turned away.
Here we are all destined to be together!
Look, in just a few years, hasn’t a vacuum hometown emerged?
But the problem is...
Bodhisattvas in Western religions even need to make offerings to them even when they preach sutras to those who are predestined to do so.
If you don’t offer enough, you won’t be able to rely on it no matter how much fate you have.
If it is done by force, the Bodhisattva is willing to do it, but the price that the destined person has to pay is not just offerings.
Is it so easy to take advantage of the West?
This fellow Taoist is focused on the benefits of Western religion.
But what the Western saints were thinking about was this fellow Taoist himself!
No matter how powerful you are, as long as you enter the gate of the West, you can't help but make great aspirations and take shortcuts.
From then on everything was Western.
The old mother didn't know what Ran Deng was thinking, but she also understood that the fellow Taoist in front of her had a plan that was difficult for outsiders to know.
Go behind the back of the saint and collude with outsiders.
They sit back and watch the pure land being eroded by others, and even help others to cover it up.
All these behaviors are extremely bizarre!
My mother understood that there must be a plan and a trap in this.
If you are not careful, you may fall into the burning plan.
However……
But she had to take risks!
There is even a reason why I have to take risks!
"Fellow Taoist, a few days ago, fellow Taoist sent word that a 'cooperator' has been found for the poor nun..." My mother asked softly, "I don't know, can you tell me the identity of that person now?"
Ran Deng smiled: "I was about to tell my fellow Taoist!"
"That fellow Taoist has also been admiring him for a long time!"
"Since fellow Taoist mentioned it today, I don't dare to shirk it!"
As he spoke, the twenty-four heavens behind Ran Deng's head rotated one by one, reflecting the light of the white lotus.
A Bodhisattva stepped out from the brilliance of this white lotus.
With a smile on his face and infinite compassion, he bowed his head and bowed: "I have met fellow Taoist monk Bai Lian!"
When the old mother saw it, her pupils suddenly closed.
White Lotus Bodhisattva!?
How can this be!
My mother knows what this Bodhisattva is doing!
It was the boy who was introduced by the leader of the Western sect to the saint before his throne. Later, with the saint's grace, he was included in the door wall, regarded as a disciple of the mantle, and was named White Lotus Bodhisattva.
The sage once predicted that when the lamp-burning Buddha passes away and Sakyamuni is born, the future Buddha will also be born.
And Bai Lian is the one who is considered to have the greatest chance.
He is also the one who scares my mother the most among all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in this Pure Land.
In the past, if I met this Bodhisattva, my mother would immediately run away at any cost.
However, the old mother never imagined that this person who she once considered to be the biggest threat and obstacle would now appear in front of her openly.
Maybe even become her partner!
This this……
What is Ran Deng doing? What is his plan?
For the first time in her life, my mother decided to quit.
White Lotus Bodhisattva smiled and put his hands together: "Fellow Taoist, don't worry!"
"The poor monk means no harm!"
"Speaking of which, the poor monk really admires what my fellow Taoist has done!"
"I didn't want to appear in front of my fellow Taoist like this!"
"However, a few days ago, the person I had chosen to contact fellow Taoists died unexpectedly. I had no choice but to come in person to contact fellow Taoists!"
"I hope fellow Taoists don't take it personally!"
As he spoke, White Lotus Bodhisattva spit out a relic with a flowing halo of seven colors and countless compassion.
"When we first met, I gave this to my Taoist friend as a meeting gift!"
The mother looked at the relic and felt inexplicably familiar.
She looked straight at White Lotus Bodhisattva: "Fellow Taoist, what is this relic?"
White Lotus Bodhisattva bowed his head and said, "I dare not hide it from my fellow Taoists. This relic is the joyful relic that was transformed by Dingguang Tathagata after his death!"
"It contains the portal to the Heaven of Joy!"
"Now that Dingguang Tathagata has passed away, I rejoice that there is no master in the sky, and I should be destined to be a fellow Taoist!"
The old mother took a deep breath and looked at the relic with great vigilance.
She knew that the Western relics were created by the cultivation and soul of the Western sect.
It is a rare treasure.
Especially these relics, which contain a small portal to heaven and earth, are really extremely precious!
"No reward for no merit..." the old mother said solemnly: "The Bodhisattva is so kind to me, how can a poor nun repay me?"
White Lotus Bodhisattva smiled: "I have nothing else to ask for..."
He showed his mouth full of white Buddha teeth: "I just want to visit my hometown of Vacuum, Maitreya Avenue with fellow Taoists!" (To be continued)
