The rolling waves were flying, turbulent and surging, rolling towards the east. Looking from a distance, it was impossible to see the horizon. The only thing Xuanzang could see was the five colors of auspicious light in the distance. The place where the auspiciousness was thousands of times was the holy land of Lingshan.
"Wukong, how can we cross this big river without a bridge or a boat?" Xuanzang looked at the river in front of him with a look of panic on his face.
"Master, don't be anxious. Look there, isn't there a bridge? Let's just go there." Sun Wukong saw a black shadow in the distance, disappearing into the clouds and mist, leading to the other side. It was obviously a bridge across the river.
Xuanzang also saw it, with a happy face on his face. He called Sun Wukong and others and dared to go over. Only when he got closer did he realize that where was the bridge, it was clearly a single-plank bridge. Next to the single-plank bridge were written the words "Lingyundu".
"This, this is just a piece of wood, how can we cross it?" Xuanzang looked at the single-plank bridge in front of him with a look of panic on his face. Although he had a good body, the single-plank bridge in front of him was only a few fingers wide, and the top was as smooth as a mirror.
If you step on it, if you don't pay attention, you will fall into the abyss.
Xuanzang plucked up the courage to look under the bridge, and saw the surging river, gushing into the ocean, as high as tens of thousands of feet. He suddenly turned pale with fright, and kept retreating.
"Wukong, you can't walk on this bridge, you can't walk on it." Xuanzang shook his head repeatedly and said: "You all have the method of soaring into the clouds, but I am a mortal body, so I can't walk on it, I can't walk on it."
"Master, how difficult it is to become a Buddha. How can it be such a simple thing? But now that things are coming, Master cannot retreat!" Sun Wukong went directly to the single-plank bridge, walked back and forth on the bridge, and said loudly: "Master
, look, isn’t this a good move?”
Xuanzang shook his head repeatedly when he saw this, and Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha also stopped him.
Above the clouds, Yang Guang and Guanyin Bodhisattva were sitting on the cloud bed. There were some spiritual fruits and fairy wine on the tables in front of them, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves.
"Don't worry, your majesty, Xuanzang will definitely be able to cross this river today and lead the Buddha to live in seclusion in the long river, where he will receive those who are destined to be here." Guanyin Bodhisattva pointed to the distance and said.
Yang Guang looked over and saw an old man holding a bottomless boat in the river. What was surprising was that the waves were rolling in the river, but the bottomless boat could walk freely in it.
It's like walking on flat ground.
"Don't worry, Emperor Sui. The Lingyun Ferry of the Poor Monk is an innate spiritual treasure. I will be at peace when all tribulations come, and I will enjoy peace forever and ever. It is here specifically to ferry all sentient beings." At this time, Yang Guang heard a message in his ear.
The peaceful voice is exactly what greets the Buddha.
"I have seen the saint." Yang Guang did not dare to be negligent, stood up and bowed.
Who dares to claim to be the Buddha? Only the Lord of the Western Paradise can be transformed into the good corpse of the Taoist. Although a saint cannot walk in the three realms, the three corpses of a saint can. For example, the good corpse of the Taiqing Saint, Taishang Laojun,
The image of the Taoist guiding the Buddha’s corpse in front of us is an example.
"The poor monk Namo has the Jeweled Banner of Light King Buddha." He then led the Buddha to laugh out loud.
"Buddha." Guanyin Bodhisattva also bowed. Then he said to Yang Guang: "With Buddha's Lingyundu here, Xuanzang will be reborn today, achieve a golden body, and achieve enlightenment."
Only then did Yang Guang understand why this place was called Lingyundu. It turned out that Lingyundu was not a place name, but an innate spiritual treasure that could escape Hongmeng and avoid disasters.
"Your Majesty, as long as Xuanzang goes to the Lingyun Ferry, he will be able to shed his mortal body and achieve the innate Buddha body. In the future, he will practice in Lingshan and make great progress." Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva praised: "Not everyone can lead the Buddha to the Lingyun Ferry.
Riding on it.”
"What is this single-plank bridge?" Yang Guang remained silent.
"Lingshan is right in front of you. If you want to enter Lingshan, you can only cross this bridge. This bridge is difficult and dangerous. If you are not careful, you will fall into the river of suffering." Guanyin Bodhisattva said hesitantly.
Yang Guang immediately understood the truth. Buddhism is vast and opens the door to convenience. If you can enter Lingshan, you will achieve a golden body, obtain the righteous fruit, and be free from the world. However, it is not an easy task to enter Lingshan. Apart from going through countless hardships,
In addition to finding the Lingshan Mountain, you also need to pass the Golden Summit Immortal level.
The Yuzhen Temple is actually the outer gate of Lingshan. Only after passing through the outer gate can you reach Lingyundu. For hundreds of millions of years, almost no mortals have reached Lingyundu. Even if there are, it is impossible to get help from the Buddha.
You can only pass the single-plank bridge, but how many people can pass on the single-plank bridge?
"My parents, whose body and skin were affected, went to the Lingyun Ferry and lost their mortal bodies. I'm afraid they are the soul! What Buddhism emphasizes is that the body is a boat, which only helps the soul to cross the sea of suffering. After crossing the sea of suffering, the physical body has nothing.
It’s useful. Xuanzang crossed the Bitter River through Lingyun and achieved the golden body. Is Xuanzang still Xuanzang if he just changes his physical body? Just as a metaphor for himself, is he still Yang Guang if he changes his physical body?"
Above the clouds, Yang Guang thought for a moment, and suddenly he sighed. His feet turned into a rainbow light and landed in front of the stone monument of Lingyundu.
"Brother Yang!"
"His Majesty the Sui Emperor!"
"His Majesty!"
Master Xuanzang and his disciples soon discovered Yang Guang on the side, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces. Apparently they did not expect to see Yang Guang here.
Xuanzang felt even more grateful.
"This is the Lingyun Crossing, this is the Bitter River. Crossing the river through Lingyun can achieve the golden body and attainment of enlightenment. Crossing the river on this wooden bridge can also achieve the golden body and attainment of enlightenment, but you will have to go through difficulties and obstacles. If you don't pay attention, you will
He will fall into the river of bitterness and die." Yang Guang looked at Xuanzang, his eyes shining with light.
"This is a bottomless boat. When you cross the river in this boat, it will be smooth and unobstructed. When you reach the other side, you can also achieve the golden body and attain the true enlightenment."
Yang Guang pointed to Lingyun Ferry in the Bitter River and said. In fact, he had something to say in his words, but neither the Buddha nor Guanyin Bodhisattva said it out loud. Yang Guang's suggestion was within the rules.
As Xuanzang’s biological father, this point is worth mentioning.
"Master, let's get on the bridge!" Sun Wukong rolled his eyes.
"Brother Monkey, how do you walk on this bridge? Look, I can't even stand on it. This bridge is not as big as my feet. There are clouds and mist in front of me. I don't know what's ahead?" Zhu Bajie shouted loudly.
"Master, get on the boat! You got on the boat properly, crossed the Bitter River, and reached the other side." Monk Sha also advised on the side: "Not to mention the danger of this bridge, we can cross it, but this horse can't cross it either.
!”
"Yes! Master, instead of walking on a flat road, you walk on a single-plank bridge. What if you fall?" Zhu Bajie muttered. He looked at Yang Guang and said loudly: "His Majesty the Sui Emperor,
Master is an ordinary man, how could he walk on this single-plank bridge? If he fell, his body would be hard to find."
After hearing this, Yang Guang couldn't help laughing and said: "It's just crossing the river, the road is at your feet, it depends on how he walks."
