Outside the palace gate, 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 Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall has stood in nothingness since ancient times.
In the meantime, it stands beside the shadow of the long river of time.
A majestic Buddha of the Eighth Realm walked to the door of the palace, looking at the shadow cast by the vast river of time, with a vague expression on his face.
A few breaths later, another Sumeru protector appeared under the palace door. He bowed to the Eighth Realm Buddha and said in a deep voice: "Venerable Ananda, there is a statue under the ancient Buddha statue of Lantern Buddha.
Chanting sutras and Buddha images gave birth to visions.”
Venerable Ananda, one of the disciples of the World Honored One, has a face like the full moon in autumn and eyes like green lotus flowers. He was able to escape the realm of reincarnation before countless kalpas. Now he is on duty at the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas. His handsome and solemn appearance makes everyone who sees it feel moved.
joy.
Reversing his gaze from the shadow of the long river of time, Venerable Ananda glanced at the respectful Protector Sumeru beside him and said calmly: "What a vision?"
Protector Sumeru held up a scroll of golden silk with both hands and said: "The "Ancient Buddha Scroll of Mahayana Buddhism" he held in his hands turned into "The Past Buddha of the Three Worlds of Buddhas"."
Venerable Ananda didn't seem surprised. He took the scroll of brocade and looked at it carefully for a while, then said softly: "This is a terrible omen."
Protector Xumi looked puzzled and said: "I am stupid, but I hope the venerable one can speak clearly."
Venerable Ananda tied the scroll of brocade silk in his arms, looked towards the shadow of the long river outside the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, and said: "Do you know where the great realm of state and heaven comes from?"
Protector Xumi nodded and said: "In ancient times, there was endless chaos between heaven and earth. Suddenly one day, the pure and turbid Qi split. The clear one was the sky, and the turbid one was the earth. The heaven and earth first opened, and the three realms were born.
, is the boundary between the state and the sky where we are."
"This is true, but not entirely true," Venerable Ananda smiled. "Before the sun and moon were in chaos and the three realms were not divided, there was an extremely long period of time. This period of time existed before the creation of the sky. It was so long.
It's completely unmeasurable, completely unimaginable, and even the long years you and I have spent are not even babies in front of this time."
Protector Xumi looked solemn and listened quietly.
Venerable Ananda once again opened the brocade silk in his hand and recited the Sanskrit text 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 no longer useful, and everything around him was like a lamp, hence the name
Burn the lamp.”
"The day after he became a Buddha, the Buddha was named the Ancient Buddha of Lighting Lights. He was the ancestor of all Buddhas in the past."
Having said this, Venerable Ananda turned his head and looked at Protector Sumeru, "But, in this realm of state and heaven, have you ever heard of the existence of the ancient Buddha Deng Deng?"
Protector Sumeru shook his head and said: "The World Honored One's immeasurable Buddha's light shines through the ages, but the past Buddhas only existed in the past and never appeared in the present world."
Venerable Ananda nodded and said: "I don't know whether the so-called Buddhas of the past existed, but the Buddhas under them really existed, and they actually existed in the time before the creation of heaven. They were
Trapped in the long time before the creation of heaven, we can never wait for the 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."
Protector Sumeru felt his heart tremble when he heard this. He clasped his palms together and performed a Buddhist salute towards the highest point of Daleiyin Temple, saying: "My Buddha is compassionate, so the Buddhas under the ancient Buddha seat of Ran Deng actually have such origins! "
Venerable Ananda pointed to the "Past Buddha of the Three Worlds of Buddha" in his hand and said: "Just now you realized that the "Ancient Buddha Scroll of Mahayana Buddhism" has been transformed into this thing, you are telling me something bad. omen."
Protector Xumi's eyes were condensed and he said: "May I ask, Your Majesty, what is the omen?"
Venerable Ananda sighed and said: "If one day, all records about the ancient Buddha gradually disappear, and the time before the creation of heaven finally comes to an end, the Buddhas under the seat of the ancient Buddha of Lantern will be in that kind of state." What will they do if they are freed from endless torture?"
Protector Xumi's face turned pale and he said: "But even if they get out of that time, they will only exist before the opening of the sky, which is endlessly far away from now, so 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 own 'nature'. Not only the heaven and earth and all spirits, but even time and space have their own 'nature'."
"If the Buddhas under the seat of the ancient Buddha of Burning Light really come out of that period of time, they will come to the present world in a way that we cannot understand, spanning the long and endless years from before the opening of the sky to today."
"Even if you are as stupid as me and have gone through countless calamities, you will reach transcendence, break through reincarnation, and enter the eighth realm."
"The time spent by the Buddhas under the seat of the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng, coupled with the years of endless torture before the creation of heaven, are countless countless kalpas."
"Thinking about it this way, if they really come to this world... I'm afraid it will be a terrifying catastrophe sweeping across the realm of state and sky."
Hearing this, Protector Sumeru's face turned extremely pale, and he lost his composure and said: "Honorable Ananda, does the World Honored One know about this?!"
Venerable Ananda said calmly: "The World Honored One can listen to the three realms at the touch of a finger and know the past and the future. How can he not know?"
Protector Sumeru's expression softened a bit and he said, "Have the World Honored One ever told us how to break the tribulation?"
Venerable Ananda glanced at him, shook his head again, and said: "The World-Honored One is the present Buddha of the third Buddha. Although his magic power is immeasurable, it is inseparable from the third Buddha. The affairs of the Buddhas below are the destiny before the realm of state and heaven is formed, and they are also the tribulation of the realm of state and heaven. No living being can escape from it."
"Not only the realm of state and sky, but also the existence of realm tribulations in any great realm of the galaxy. The same is true for the realm of life locks adjacent to our realm of state and sky. Although we have already reached the three realms of holding the realm, we still have this Nothing can be done."
The realm of transcendence, the realm of reincarnation, and the realm of peeping into the sky. These three realms are collectively called the three realms of holding the world. Because the creatures in these three realms have transcended the world and can feed back to the great realm of the galaxy that gave birth to themselves to a certain extent, so It is also called a world-holding creature.
Having said this, Venerable Ananda turned around, holding the scroll "The Past Buddhas of the Three Worlds of Buddhas", and slowly walked into the depths of the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
"Besides, you are a little obsessed."
"Thank you Venerable Ananda for your teaching."
Protector Sumeru stared blankly at the place where Venerable Ananda left. It was not until he heard the last words he left that he could not help but come back to his senses. He clasped his hands together and respectfully performed a Buddhist salute.
His face was extremely pious.
…
After he left, the shadow of the long river of time in front of the gate of the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas suddenly filled with water splashes. After a few breaths, these water splashes gradually disappeared and merged into the calm and waveless shadow of the long river.
