Chapter 52 Taking over Buddhism
Originally, Li Yang used to just use Baspa and Xiaoxiami to steal some Buddhist incense, but unexpectedly, now, Tathagata of the Great Sun directly gave him the entire Buddhist sect. This incident caught him off guard.
You should know that although the Buddhist sect in this world is not as prosperous as the rise of humanity, it is also an ancient sect that emerged with the rise of humanity. The inheritance alone is a rare wealth, not to mention the incalculable believers.
Although most of the incense beliefs accumulated in the past were used by the Great Sun Tathagata, with these countless Buddhist believers as the basis, why worry about not having the power of incense beliefs?
Based on this alone, Li Yang owed this great favor to Tathagata, which was also the reason why he could not refuse at the time.
Because these countless incense beliefs also mean a continuous stream of world power. How could Li Yang refuse such a great temptation?
But he knew that this benefit was not for nothing. There must be the plan of the Great Sun Tathagata. Su Anran didn't know what the Great Sun Tathagata was going to make, but Li Yang didn't believe that such a big piece of pie would fall from the sky.
However, the most urgent task is not when he considers these things. What he needs to do now is to suppress the Buddhist fortune, so as to prevent the Buddhist fortune that was already in decline, from continuing to dissipate.
The Great Sun Tathagata took the Buddhist fortune of this world as the foundation and split the long river of time and space in one fell swoop. Although this move weakened the world, it also consumed the fortune that Buddhism has gathered over thousands of years.
If the suppression is not promptly suppressed, the Buddhist sect that has released the world will disappear and become a possibility of history.
Thinking of this, Li Yang did not hesitate. With a thought, a huge world of caves emerged in the endless sea of voids, suppressing the Buddhist fortune.
If someone can open the Buddha's eyes at this time, he will definitely see that a world that has evolved into thousands of people, hanging behind the Buddha's head transformed by Buddhist fortunes, and evolved into the universe.
"Crazy..."
As the blood vessel cave heaven suppressed, the Buddhist fortune, which was like a golden cloud in the void, instantly contracted and solidified, and no longer felt as loose as before.
At this moment, the Buddhist children who rushed to the Potala Palace seemed to feel something, and their hearts towards the Buddha became firmer again, and their eyes became more and more pious.
"Welcome to my Buddha and World Honored One!"
After a while, the top leaders of the four Tibetan sects arrived one after another. Under the leadership of Xiao Xiami and Baspa, they slowly stepped into the hall and rubbed Li Yang in the upper head to worship.
"The six realms are born together, good and evil coexist, and the yin and yang of heaven and earth should be transformed. The two realms of Buddha and demon should be interdependent. From then on, exoteric and esoteric coexist, so do not dispute arbitrarily."
"Abide by the Buddha's decree!"
Xiao Xiami and Basba looked at each other, and the dispute between the two was settled by Li Yang in one sentence.
As for what they think, Li Yang doesn't care. Now it is the weakest time for Buddhism to be, and he can't see the internal friction of Buddhism anymore. However, if someone is dissatisfied, he should use thunderbolt means to suppress all the source of disasters.
"I have come to the World Honored One. Now that the Great Sun Tathagata's Nirvana has passed away, my Buddhist fortune has shown signs of weakness. What should we do in the future? Please ask the World Honored One to show us."
Although I don’t know how Li Yang took over as the Great Ri Tathagata and became the new Buddha of Buddhism, Xiao Xiami and Baspa knew that it was a foregone conclusion, but these were not what they should ask about.
But now because of the Nirvana of the Great Sun Tathagata, their power has shrunk sharply and has weakened to the extreme, and they have no good way to deal with this phenomenon.
"Buddhism is vast and we should accept fate in all directions. However, we are all monks. We should abandon greed, anger, ignorance, and resentment. We should do what monks should do. This is not conducive to the struggle for power in the world. We will be determined to save all sentient beings in a single life!"
After looking at Xiao Xiami and Basba, Li Yang knew that the changes in history were coming, and naturally knew that religion was about to become a past tense.
If you want to avoid the troubles of the world, you must give up something. As the saying goes, there will be gains and losses. Although doing so will lose the rule of Tibet, from then on, Tantric Buddhism will be completely withdrawn from the secular world, so as to protect yourself and avoid losing anything in this great change.
Moreover, the human way has reached a critical moment when it has not changed or broken, and it can only be broken before it is established. This is the law of the operation of the heavenly way and the replacement of everything. It cannot be countered by one person or one place. What's more, Buddhism today will definitely not withstand too much blows. Only by withdrawing as soon as possible is the best strategy.
"This... World Honored One, this move is very involved, and I hope the World Honored One can consider it carefully!"
As soon as Li Yang said this, not only Xiao Xiami and Baspa, but also the senior leaders of the four sects below, Qi Qi's faces changed drastically. The tradition of Tibet that has not changed for thousands of years was broken by Li Yang's words.
The losses in this are undoubtedly a worse injury for today's Buddhism. How can they bear it? After all, Tantric Buddhism can have a situation today, which is a situation that countless sages have worked hard to open up, but now they have to give up. Even if Li Yang is the World Honored One, they also have a lot of complaints in their hearts.
"This Tibetan believer is the foundation of the existence of my Tantric Buddhism. I hope the Buddha will take back the Dharma. Otherwise, it will definitely arouse the believers' hearts towards the Buddha and shake the foundations of my Buddhism."
As the oldest living Buddha of Tantric Buddhism, he witnessed a long evolutionary history of Tantric Buddhism with his own eyes, and naturally knew that today's situation was hard-won.
"If you do not destroy, you will not establish. If you destroy it, then you will establish it. The mind is the mind. As long as the mind is facing the Buddhist temple, no matter where you stand or where you are, it is the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. The world is chaotic, and it will pollute the pure Buddha mind. If this continues, it will go against the root of the existence of my Buddhist temple. The Buddha's mind has been settled and there is no change."
"You can send devout believers to appease the people's livelihood and promote our mission."
"Now chaos is everywhere in China. Those who have become monks should travel to China with compassion, promote our religion, and attract tourists from all directions. This is to strengthen our religion, to save all the people, and to cultivate the hearts of the world."
"This method of three-killing in one fell swoop and compassionate heart can be the best way to promote Buddhism!"
"Abide by the Buddha's decree!"
Seeing that Li Yang had made up his mind, the lamas knew that if they continued to persuade him, they would not be able to gain anything. Therefore, although they were unwilling to accept it, they could only follow it.
"I know you are unwilling to accept your heart, but we are the people outside the world, but we think of ourselves as our own transcendence. In the future, you will naturally understand my good intentions today."
Li Yang knew that although these Tantric lamas agreed on the surface, there must be many people who disobeyed the slander in private, but he didn't want to care about so much. His attitude has been clear. Whether they listen or not is their own fortune. Once they are involved in the world of humanity, they are also their lack of wisdom and their fate should be like this.
"What do you want to ask? Just speak without hesitation!"
After the lamas retreated, looking at the little shrimp and Basba in their heads, Li Yang spoke with a happy expression.
These two people are also considered their old friends. Since they have doubts about their own doubts, they still have to give them this little face.
"I believe that although the disciple does not understand what the Buddha does, I know that since the Buddha does this, I have his own intention, but I have a doubt about it. I hope the Buddha can answer it."
Although Xiao Xiami did not understand why Li Yang removed Tantric Buddhism from the Tibetan people and did not interfere with people's livelihood from then on, he knew that since Li Yang took over as the position of honor, he would have prospered with Buddhism since then, so naturally he did not damage the principles of Tantric Buddhism.
"You are trying to ask why Tathagata of the Great Sun was Nirvana, are you?"
"This matter involves some secrets of the essence of heaven and earth. Please forgive me for not saying it clearly. However, since the Great Sun Tathagata entrusted Buddhism to me, I will not let down his painstaking efforts and will do my best to retain the Buddhist teachings in this world."
Li Yang naturally would not tell them the truth about the Nirvana of the Great Sun Tathagata. The matters involved are not that the current Tantric Buddhism has the ability to intervene.
The reason why Li Yang took over Buddhism in this world was to collect incense beliefs. This was also a tacit transaction between him and Tathagata. He used the help of Buddhism to collect incense, and at the same time he also ensured that the Buddhist inheritance would not be cut off.
"Okay, you guys go down. I don't want to interfere in the teaching knowledge, and I don't want to interfere. You will do it separately in the future. What I want to say has been said just now. If there is nothing important in the future, you don't have to disturb me again."
"Abide by the Buddha's decree!"
Seeing that Li Yang did not have the idea of interfering in the Tantric Buddhism, Xiao Xiami and Baspa slowly retreated with different expressions.
Baspa was obsessed with power. He practiced the three evil paths taught by Li Yang. He possessed all the greed of human nature, so he naturally did not want to give up the power in his hands.
Xiao Xiami is different. He is more worried about the inheritance of Tantric Buddhism. After all, in just a few days, the changes in the entire Tantric Buddhism were really too great.
First, the Buddhist fortune declined, then the Nirvana of Ten Thousand Buddhas, and finally the new Buddhas ascended the throne. These sects, one by one, made him dizzy, and it made him full of worry about the future of Tantric Buddhism.
......
Li Yang had no time to pay attention to the two of them. He was really impatient to deal with these worlds. As for the right to take over Buddhism, it was even more of a joke for him.
When he reached his level of practice, he had long lost his leisure. To put it bluntly, he had already seen through the essence of power. If it were not for the "purification of the world" of the Great Sun Tathagata and the incense beliefs of Tantric Buddhism, even if he was invited, he would not be a Buddhist Buddha.
After Xiao Xiami and Baspa left, Li Yang's eyes immediately projected towards the three Dharma images behind him.
Under his time and space vision, the whole world immediately turned into a black and white gas. The space contracted infinitely in his eyes. Countless colorful incense thoughts were like fireflies, constantly gathering towards Tibet.
Only a very small number of these incense ideas are worshipped by the Central Plains, and the vast majority are worshipped by Tibet.
"It is worthy of being the Buddha's kingdom on earth!"
Looking at this scene, Li Yang sincerely exclaimed.
These gathered incense ideas were divided into seven strands, one large and six small, and six small portions of incense power, gathering towards the six Dharma images worshipped by Baspa and Xiaoxiami. The largest strand was gathering towards the Potala Palace.
In Li Yang's perception, the golden body behind him is the home of the greatest incense belief.
It’s just a pity that I officially took over as the Buddha’s Buddha today. My previous incense beliefs did not belong to me. Instead, the incense beliefs accumulated in the six Dharma phenomena over the past thirty years have been able to use them at will because of their clear goals of offering.
Thinking of this, Li Yang's soul moved and escaped into the bloodline witch world. His thoughts instantly triggered the six Dharma images located in the Potala Palace and the Tianshan Mountains. The six paths were colorful, like a torrent of incense quickly traveled through countless spaces and poured into the bloodline cave heaven.
"This is what your kid planned more than 20 years ago, and it's a good harvest."
Ordinary people naturally could not detect the gathering of incense power, but the old Taoist Zi Xiao, who was in the blood witch world, immediately noticed the abnormal movement and rushed over in an instant.
"The atmosphere towards Buddha is strong in Tibet in this world. These incense beliefs are indeed quite rare, but unfortunately they are too complicated and their thoughts are weak."
Li Yang held the power of faith with one hand and shook his head with a little regretful regret at the continuous gathering of power of faith.
In his opinion, although these beliefs are sufficient, they are not pure enough and their thoughts are not firm enough. There are too many impurities in them. Although the total amount is ten times that of the incense power he collected in the Bloodline Warlock Academy.
But it is probably a little worse than really refining it into "world power".
"You kid, just be content. Every blood warlock is an extraordinary creature, and it is not comparable to ordinary people. Moreover, you are the ancestor of blood warlocks, so they naturally believe in pious and fanaticism."
"Although you are taking over the Buddhist sect in this world, you can only be considered the successor or the source of Buddhism if you created this Buddhist sect. Naturally, there is no way to completely bring those Buddhist believers back to their hearts."
He looked at Li Yang deeply, and the old Taoist Zixiao reminded him with a point of reference.
"Senior, please rest assured. I know that I will definitely not do the cart before the horse."
"To be honest, if it weren't for the incense belief and the Great Sun Tathagata's method of enlightenment, I wouldn't have taken over his position. After all, Buddhism in this world is a useless existence to me."
"Just you can understand!"
Seeing that Li Yang was not tempted by the immediate interests, the old Taoist Zixiao walked away slowly.
After all, no matter how tempting the Buddhist heritage of this world is, how can it compare to the bloodline warlock created by Li Yang himself? Indeed, he can take over the person of the Great Sun Tathagata and completely refine the Buddhist path so that he can follow the path taken by the Great Sun Tathagata, and completely use the thousands of years of accumulation of this Buddhism for himself.
But even Da Riru comes from his own body, and now he has fallen to the end of being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao. How could he go and follow his old path?
