Chapter 205: Creating Buddhas at will, the Three Bodies of Spiritual Light
The mighty sound rose into the sky, dispersing the nine-day clouds, and then crashed down like a huge wave, impacting all living beings in the Liangchan Temple.
The golden monkey standing next to Bodhisattva looked up again. The tall figure, shrouded in the Buddha's light, looked like the golden glow of the morning sun.
For the first time, a desire other than food appeared in the golden monkey's eyes.
Thousands of monks followed suit, their voices shaking the sky!
The reckless monk who was at the center of the wave had cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and his face turned slightly pale.
It is obvious that these waves of sound are not mixed with any magical powers or magic, nor do they have any intention to deceive or hurt people. They are simply the heartfelt recognition of Bodhisattva's words by thousands of monks, and therefore they are firmly and calmly repeating them.
But to the monk, it was even more horrifying than the lectures given by the abbots in the two Zen temples in the past, and it even continued to shake his determination to become a Buddhist!
The calm majesty contained in the vast sound waves shocked the reckless monk.
When he looked up at Puxin and Yuanyin again, he saw their calm eyes that seemed to contain all living things. The monk felt as if he was seeing two living Buddhas in person.
He shuddered immediately and came to his senses instantly.
However, when he looked at Puxin and Yuanyin again, their expressions remained unchanged. One's eyes were still calm and indifferent, and the other's eyes were still as gentle as water, as if everything that had just happened was just his illusion.
He shook his head, firmed his mind, and said with a grim face: "How ridiculous! A mere beast actually dreams of becoming a Buddha? How can it become a Buddha?"
"Oh, Master, you don't believe it?"
“The Buddha said that we should save all sentient beings. If we can’t even save a golden monkey, how can we talk about saving all sentient beings?” Bodhisattva’s face was still calm, his eyes were still as clear as autumn water.
Bodhisattva looked at the golden monkey and said with a smile: "When the universe was first created, there was no name. To break the stubborn void, we need Wukong!"
"I will give you a surname based on your body. I mean, I will give you the surname Hou. Hou is made up of two parts, one of which is Gu Yue. Gu means old, and Yue means yin."
"Old Yin cannot nurture, so it would be better to give you the surname of Mau. Mau without the animal character means Zi, and Zi means a boy; Xi means an infant, which is in line with the basic theory of infants. So I'll give you the surname of Sun!"
"Today, I give you a name: Sun Wukong!"
After saying this, the infinite Buddha light contained in his palm brushed towards the golden monkey's head, as if it was receiving ordination or enlightenment, enlightening its mind!
A little Buddha's light falls on the heart and turns into a towering golden mountain!
It is exactly: Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave!
On this mountain, there are countless monks, arhats, karans, Jieti, Vajra, Venerable, Dayao, Bodhisattvas, and Buddha phantoms chanting sutras, and there are also countless immortals and demons mixed among them.
In the Three Stars Cave of the Slanting Moon, there are three baby-like figures sitting steadily on cushions. Upon closer inspection, they have the same facial features as the golden monkey.
One is wearing a golden cassock and looks solemn and majestic; one has a strong demonic aura and is unruly; one has pure and upright primordial energy and radiates spiritual light.
At the same time, golden veins appeared on the golden monkey's body, like spiritual roots, running through the whole body. Then golden divine light emerged around the body and turned into a large stone of immortal cell.
Like sparkling golden crystal, or the essence of fairy jade, it wrapped the golden monkey inside.
The stone is 36 feet 5 inches high, with a circumference of 24 feet. 36 feet 5 inches high, according to the 365 degrees of the celestial sphere, and a circumference of 24 feet, according to the 24 solar terms in the official calendar. There are nine holes and eight apertures on it, according to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.
The three yangs meet and give birth to all living things, and the immortal stone contains the essence of the sun and the moon. Borrowing an egg to transform into a monkey to complete the great way, using his name to match the elixir. Inwardly, we cannot recognize it because it has no form, but outwardly, we clearly know that it has a form.
The energy of heaven and earth and the essence of divine light continued to gather inside, turning into heavenly books and Taoist texts that appeared outside. The monkey was in it, and his muscles and bones were melted like an indestructible body of diamond. Finally, the immortal cell burst, and it turned into its original golden monkey form in the wind, with aura of spiritual auspiciousness all over it, and two golden lights shot into the Dou Palace with its eyes.
In a flash, a golden image appeared behind the golden monkey, shining with golden light, revealing a hundred-meter-tall golden-armored mighty ape.
It is the image of the Spiritual Stone Monkey!
Wearing chain-locked golden armor, walking on lotus root silk and walking cloud boots, wearing a purple gold crown with phoenix wings on his head, and a red cape of flowing fire on his back. There seemed to be the glow of the sun and moon flowing in his pupils.
Those piercing red fire golden eyes seemed to be able to discern all the truths in the world.
With an earth-shaking roar from the spirit of the Spirit Stone Monkey, a powerful energy burst out from its body and instantly swept across the entire Liangchan Temple.
It contains the ambition to fight against heaven and earth, the supreme and bright divine will, the mighty divine power, the dazzling golden eyes, which overwhelm the sun, moon and stars in the sky and make the surroundings dim.
I saw that the soul of the Lingming Stone Monkey split from its waist, revealing a body with three heads and six arms.
The one on the front is Saint Qitian, surrounded by the energy of killing demons and monsters. The one on the right is a spiritual ape, with the energy of spiritual auspicious flowers rising. The one on the left is the fighting Buddha, filled with compassion and solemnity.
Demon Lord, Holy Spirit Lord, God Buddha Lord, and manifested Stone Monkey are the three kinds of gods!
The three Dharma images resounded together, forming a trinity, and together they gave rise to a spirit of war against heaven and earth!
If there is a demon in your heart, you will become a demon. If you have a Buddha in your heart, you will become a Buddha. Buddha, demon, immortal, and sage. In an instant, all kinds of thoughts will arise. This is the spirit of the Dharma!
A wise person is a heart with seven orifices, which can break through the confusion in the world. A pure heart can analyze the laws of all things, understand changes, know the weather, know the favorable terrain, and move the stars and changes.
Exploring the enemy's flaws and accurately grasping the battle situation at all times created the Monkey King who can fight against the heaven and the earth.
The first chapter of the original Journey to the West points out the essential essence of the Lingming Stone Monkey: the source of spiritual root nourishment flows out, and the mind is cultivated and the great path is born.
Lingming is the spiritual clarity of the heart, the power of the heart, the original heart of all things, the original heart of all dharma, the return of all dharma to its source, the origin and end of magic, and the origin of Qi body!
The magical power of Bodhisattva is like Buddha but not Buddha, like Tao but not Tao, and it circulates freely and transforms into each other. He uses the method of the origin and flow of Qi, mixes the three personalities and essences of the Spirit Stone Monkey, and recreates a guardian of Western Buddhism.
The method of the origin of the Qi body is the root of the dharma of the spirit and stone monkey Yuan Shen. There are thousands of dharma in the world, but there is only one heart.
The heart is filled with the great way, and one acts according to one's nature, with the spirit residing within. This is the essence of the primordial spirit's Dharma appearance. There are different methods of cultivation, and the Dharma appearance has hundreds of changes, which is exactly in line with the meaning of Sun Wukong's endless changes.
Taking the source of Qi as the foundation, various means as the appearance, and using Qi to control the art, what a smart stone monkey!
It's exactly this: a little spiritual thought turns into a fighting ape fighting against the sky!
The huge golden Dharma image is surrounded by red fire and lightning. The three Dharma bodies are either clear and lively, with pure immortal charm; or full of Zen and the fragrance of sandalwood; or lawless, ruling over all demons.
The monks are well-educated and can see clearly that these three dharmakayas are the manifestation of Buddhahood, representing his past, present and future achievements!
One is the transformation body, which is the incarnation, and is the Saint Equal to Heaven; one is the self-nature body, which is the Dharma body, and is the wise monkey; one is the enjoyment body, which is the retribution body, and is the Fighting Buddha!
"So, is it an animal, a fairy, or a Buddha now?" Bodhisattva deliberately questioned.
All the monks in the Liangchan Temple were shocked by this incredible method. Making a Buddha so easily, could the Buddha be created so easily?
The reckless monk was trembling and unable to speak. He looked at the golden ape holding up the sky, with the Buddha's aura all over his body. It seemed as if his Buddha heart was shattered and he collapsed to the ground.
I asked myself, "How is it possible? How is it possible? If it becomes a Buddha, then what am I?"
