Chapter 526: There is a shortage of the true scripture, and thousands of flowers will be hidden(1/3)
There are thirty thousand dharmas in the world, but only the Tathagata Sutra is respected!
This is a widely circulated saying in Buddhism, and the "Tathagata Sutra" in it refers to the "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra"!
As the enlightenment method of the first Great Sun Tathagata, the "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra" has the supreme status in both major Buddhist schools.
This time Daleiyin Temple selected Buddhist disciples, and they were willing to take out this Taoism... It really exceeded many people's expectations.
Feng Bingyao was puzzled: "The Tao is not taught to humans, and the Dharma is not taught to the six ears. Although I admire the magnanimity of Daleiyin Temple, it is difficult to understand this approach.
How could such a true story... be easily leaked?"
"The scriptures on the lotus platform are not long, just a small part. If you are not in line with this sect, you will not understand anything even if you read it." Tie Tang has already noticed.
Tianhong nodded: "Both of you are right, but the main reason... is because the "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra" is no longer complete.
It is a missing method in the first place. Even if it is spread out, no one can practice it."
"Incomplete?"
Tianhong typed a ban and explained softly: "About 600,000 years ago, a very terrifying rebellion occurred in Lingshan.
The complete "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra" was therefore split into three volumes.
They are the general outline of the scriptures, the first volume of the Mahavairocana and the second volume of "The Dharma of the Tathagata".
Among them, the second volume of "Tathagata Dharma" was left in my Daleiyin Temple, while the first volume of "Dainichi Sutra" was stolen.
In the end, those people joined together and opened up a new Buddhist gate, which is the Shi Wuyan Temple!
The general outline of the scriptures was also lost in that chaos. Neither our Daleiyin Temple nor Shi Wuyan Temple could find the general outline.
The second volume of "Tathagata Dharma" currently displayed on the lotus platform is only a small part of the true sutra. Even if it is fully understood by others, it will not have much impact."
Tie Tang was keenly aware of the loopholes in Tianhong's rhetoric: "That's not right, is it? Did no one read the complete "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra" before it was stolen?
If so, just ask him to copy it again."
"Not to mention how many World Honored Ones and Bodhisattvas died in that rebellion, the Sutra itself was indeed not seen by many disciples at that time.
At that time, the core of our sect was the three seventy-two apertures of the Lotus Tyrant Picture, the Ten Thousand Flowers Dharma Storehouse Sutra and the Bodhi Buddha Sutra.
As a Taoist tradition, the "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra" was difficult to integrate with the orthodox teachings of the time. There were very few people who could understand it.
In addition, this is the method of enlightenment for the first World Honored One, who has a high status and is not qualified to even take a look at it.
Moreover, the Buddhist teachings are profound and the mind of Zen is mysterious. The founder of the true scriptures is too old. Even if others imitate the true scriptures, they may not be able to contain all the true meanings.
Over time, due to various reasons, this tradition has actually been lost long ago."
Tie Tang and Feng Bingyao were both the founders of Taoism, so they nodded subconsciously after hearing this.
The main reason why the side sect is called side sect is that it is difficult to practice.
Unlike the orthodox path, it conforms to the practice path of most monks in the world.
It often takes tens of thousands of years for side sects to have a true inheritor.
As the first orthodox method in the world, the Shijue Hegemony was almost lost, let alone other orthodox traditions.
Whether it is the "Hui Meng Heart Sutra" created by Thirteenth Lang of Nanhai tens of thousands of years ago, or the "Xuanyin Life and Death Zha" created by Mo Xinxiang in ancient times, they are all extremely powerful and unique.
But these two methods have no descendants in the current world.
It’s not that they are not strong enough, it’s just that the requirements for cultivation are too stringent and they are easily lost.
This is the tragedy of the side sect!
Liu Xiangxiang sighed: "The first volume of the Mahavairocana Sutra fell into the hands of Shi Wuyan Temple. It seems that it is impossible to collect the real Mahavairocana Sutra."
p>
Based on the current relationship between Daleiyin Temple and Shi Wuyan Temple, unless one party is extinct, the two volumes of scriptures will never see each other again.
"It doesn't matter." Tianhong was very open-minded: "Even if you collect the upper and lower volumes, it will be difficult to practice without the general outline of the scriptures.
To take a step back, even if someone collects all three volumes of scriptures and wants to understand the true scriptures, it will be extremely difficult.
According to the records in our sect, since the creation of the Dharma by the ancient Blessed One, only three Blessed Ones in later generations have been able to comprehend the true scriptures.
Two of them were disciples of the first World Honored One.
The complete method has existed for such a long time. I don’t know how many geniuses in Buddhism have understood it. In the end, there were only three of them. Strictly speaking, only one stood out.
Tell the truth.
In my opinion...the symbolic significance of this exercise is greater than the significance of its own existence."
A touch of reluctance and pity spread among the few people, and Tie Tang suddenly asked: "There should be more than one orthodoxy in Buddhism, right?"
Although it is extremely difficult to create a Taoist tradition, Buddhism has accumulated a lot of foundation over the years and there will definitely not be only one Taoist tradition such as the "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra".
"Tiejun Shou's guess is not bad. There are other traditions in our sect. The specific ones are related to the secrets of the sect. It's hard to say easily."
Tian Wen was stunned and opened his mouth: "Ah? There are so many good things in the door, why haven't I seen them?
What does it mean?
Am I not a disciple of Daleiyin Temple?
No, I want to ask Master for clarification. I can’t bear this anger in vain.”
As soon as he stood up, Tianhong pulled him back to the original position.
"No wonder Master wants you to meditate. If you don't have this bit of xinxing, how can you still see the true teaching?"
Tian Wenpin figured out the mystery and immediately smiled and said: "Brother, when will you take me to see it?"
"You have returned to the temple this time. Since you have shown your peak appearance, you are naturally qualified to see the true biography, but you still have to pass the test of character and character.
Master asked you to knock on the wooden fish and meditate, it is also for your own good.
Originally, after the Buddhist scriptures were completed, you would have the opportunity to understand those Taoist traditions.
Now it seems...
It’s still too far!”
"No, senior brother, I'm a good boy. If you hadn't secretly taken me to eat meat and drink alcohol, how could I have come out?"
"Na na na, you have to have evidence for what you say. If you slander me like this, be careful I go to the master to take a copy of you."
"I'm slandering? Okay, let's talk like this, right?" Tian Wen was shaking with anger, left Tianhong's side, and sat down next to Tietang.
"Tietou, teach me your method, and I will switch my ways!"
Tianhong stood up suddenly, scolded Tian and asked: "Traitor, what are you going to do!"
"Master, don't worry, my method can be taught not only to him, but also to you."
"What? You are so willing?" Tianhong's expression changed. He didn't expect Tie Tang to be so generous and willing to share his orthodoxy with him.
You must know that this is not another skill, but a Taoism. Even the relationship between his junior brother and Tie Tang does not seem to have reached this stage, right?
Tie Tang smiled and said: "Why don't you give up? I am orthodox and spread the law to the world!"
Plop!
Tianhong fell down on the futon, looking dull.
Tian Wen, who was on the side, sneaked over and poked his senior brother in the face with his finger, laughing and laughing.
"Are you stupid? I can't cure you yet?"
An hour passed.
More than 300 people on the lotus platform are still meditating on the second volume of "Tathagata Dharma". The test of the true formula is to see who understands the most from it.
Even if you only master one and a half moves, there will be corresponding evaluations.
If someone can realize one or two complete martial arts and magical powers from the scriptures, he is almost a candidate for Buddhism.
The second volume of "Tathagata Dharma" produced by Daleiyin Temple this time actually contains some selfish motives.
They want to take the opportunity of selecting Buddhist disciples to find some people who are really likely to practice the "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra".
However, this kind of person is like a drop in the ocean. You can't find it even with a lantern. Buddhism just tries it casually.
It’s best to have it, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t have it.
Tie Tang passed on his future Dharma to everyone present on the Buddhist altar without hiding anything private.
He is the future orthodoxy, upright, and unstoppable as the general trend.
Tianhong also knew this very well, so he did not resist, because it was a matter of time.
One day.
All the past acupuncture methods of Daleiyin Temple will be eliminated and replaced by new methods based on Tie Tang's future method.
Everything is just like a million years ago, when the Acupoint Avenue replaced the Totem Avenue.
After imparting the Dharma and communicating for a long time, Tie Tang saw Huai Yurong frowning on the lotus platform, as if he had gained nothing.
This is not surprising.
