Chapter 149 The Secret of Becoming a Buddha
The old monk's words made the face of the Lightless Buddha in the virtual world change drastically. Gu Yunli could clearly feel his blood surging due to anger.
It was obvious that the old monk's words hit the nail on the head.
"When I entered the state of nirvana, I received initiations from all the Buddhas. I have obtained the true meaning of the Buddha seed, and I can give it to you. I only ask to enter the cycle of reincarnation again!"
Gu Yunli repeated the words of compromise of the Buddha of No Light.
The old monk laughed and said, "Buddha, if you really attained Buddhahood, I would naturally believe in you. But since you have not attained Buddhahood, this Buddha seed is nothing but a dream."
Gu Yunli: "Although I have not yet attained the fruition of Buddhahood, I have touched upon Buddhahood! To become a Buddha, one must have attained the ultimate six perfections and perfect ten perfections, and only then can one take one of the ten thousand practices to become a Buddha and become a patriarch. But if one's path has already reached the fruition, even if it is ultimately perfect, it will never be possible for one to become a Buddha!"
Gu Yunli was shocked when he said this.
Because he was repeating what the Buddha of No Light said, but the information it revealed was the first time he heard it.
How to become a Buddha?
Buddhism defines it this way:
——When a Bodhisattva practices the six perfections and the ten perfections in the causal stage and ultimately completes them, he achieves Anuttara Samyaksambodhi, which is called becoming a "Buddha"!
The general meaning is that in order to become a Buddha, one must attain the bodhisattva status, cultivate the six paramitas to perfection, and achieve Buddhahood through one of the ten thousand practices.
The so-called ten thousand practices refer to the ways of practicing Buddhism.
Similar to the Three Thousand Avenues of Xuanmen.
However, according to the Buddha of No Light, once someone achieves Buddhahood through one of the ten thousand practices, no one else will ever be able to achieve Buddhahood through that same practice.
This secret made Gu Yunli feel incredible.
Doesn’t this mean that if someone achieves Buddhahood through the great nirvana of Buddhism, then people who practice this path will never be able to achieve Buddhahood again?
This is the case with Buddhism, what about Taoism?
At this moment, a terrifying thought made Gu Yunli's scalp tingle.
"What the Buddha meant is that there is already a Buddha in the Mahaniyāna lineage? Is this the reason why the Buddha has not attained enlightenment?"
"Exactly."
"Who is the Great Nirvana Buddha?"
The Buddha of No Light remained silent.
The old monk was not in a hurry. He took out the fifth Vajra Pestle and gently inserted it into Gu Yunli's kidney. He said, "Buddha, please don't lie to me. I have the Youhuang Secret Bowl, which can allow me to achieve nirvana and rebirth infinitely. In my fifth life, I will join other Buddhist lineages."
Gu Yunli smiled softly: "Since there is a Buddhist lineage passed down from generation to generation, and the Buddha is in charge, even if you reincarnate for thousands of generations, it will be nothing! What's more, do you really think that there are no disadvantages to rebirth in Nirvana?"
The old monk who sealed Gu Yunli's five internal organs was obviously relieved and asked, "So, the Buddha knows which lineage does not have a Buddha in charge?"
The Buddha without Light nodded: "Of course."
The old monk laughed: "What a joke! If there really is a masterless Buddha vein, how could the gods and Buddhas in the heavens turn a blind eye to it?"
Buddha without Light: "Among all the practices of Buddhism, there are always fish that slip through the net."
The old monk nodded: "That makes sense!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the light in the Zen room suddenly dimmed, and five Vajra Pestles began to stir wildly, trying to strangle Gu Yunli into pieces.
The huge Zen room even transformed into the image of a Buddhist bell, with a swastika seal hanging in the air, to slay evil and suppress demons!
The Buddha statue in the Zen room opens its eyes and suppresses all evil.
At this moment, the simple Zen room turned into a murderous aura, killing all hopes of success.
However, at this moment, the old monk's expression suddenly froze, and he saw Gu Yunli slowly step back, allowing infinite terror to engulf the place where he had just stood.
"Taoism?!"
The old monk was horrified when he saw this.
But it's too late!
Gu Yunli put his hands together and chanted "Amitabha". The dim Zen room suddenly became bright.
But there was not a single bit of light on the old monk's body; all the darkness was contained within his body!
The old monk, who had practiced Nirvana for four generations, lost all color when he saw this!
The core of great nirvana lies in the two words "yellow".
Deep, dark and dirty;
Brilliant, the most brilliant and the most holy.
Both are hidden in the heart and in the world, and their simultaneous appearance will be the most intense collapse.
"No - Buddha, I have fallen into the devil's way. I beg the Buddha..."
The power of "ghost" completely detonated the old monk's heart, causing him to burst into tears and beg for mercy like crazy. However, before he finished speaking, his facial features melted like a wax figure, and his facial features collapsed in the blur, and fell into his chest while collapsing. After a while, only a monk's robe that had lost its support was left.
Gu Yunli waved his hand, and his robe floated up, and ding dong, a relic fell down.
Gu Yunli didn't even look at the relic. He waved his hand and the monk's robe turned into powder. Only a Tibetan silver button flew over. When he swept his mind over it, he could clearly see a remnant soul curled up inside.
"It's true that a cunning rabbit has three burrows, but unfortunately, in the face of the digitization of everything, nothing can escape."
Gu Yunli smiled, and immediately cleared out all the magical weapons in the room, then stepped into the darkness and disappeared without a trace.
……
At the same time, the Lightless Buddha in the virtual world is still pretending to be submissive.
After the Buddha of No Light finished saying "there are always fish that slip through the net", the old monk suddenly laughed and said, "The Buddha just said, 'I have received the initiation of all Buddhas and have obtained the true meaning of the Buddha seed'. Now he says that the path of Buddha is difficult to follow. Isn't this contradictory?"
Buddha Wuguang said: "No, the six perfections are complete, and the ten perfections are perfect. It is difficult to achieve perfection without great perseverance and wisdom. If you receive the Buddha's initiation, you will enjoy infinite eloquence, and you can go a step further and reach the perfection of a bodhisattva. This is the seed of Buddhahood."
The old monk fell silent.
In other words, Gu Yunli fell into deep thought.
At this moment, he was replacing the old monk's virtual character and playing against the Buddha of No Light.
With data sharing, he knew the situation of the Buddha of No Light very well.
But he still didn't quite understand, in this predicament, was the struggle of the Buddha of No Light intended to fight back?
Or praying for an unnecessary hope?
"If you seek the skin of a tiger, you will be eaten by the tiger... How can the disciples believe in the Buddha?"
"I can attain the state of Buddhahood, and swear an infinite vow to practice the Dharma. I only ask that the seal be unlocked and that I be allowed to practice the Dharma of Nirvana and reincarnation."
"The Buddha thinks too highly of his disciples. If the seal is broken, my life may be in danger!"
"After unlocking the four Vajra Pestles, you can also try to perform the Nirvana Reincarnation Method..."
"Two at most..."
"Three ways..."
After some bargaining, Wuguang Buddha immediately swore an oath on his Buddhahood that he would not harm his disciples, would not seek for this life but only for the next life... and so on, in exchange for the old monk unlocking the three seals. At the end, he also swore that he would "not retreat even after the great catastrophe." His oath was so rigorous that it was flawless.
Gu Yunli also swore an oath that he would never take any action.
At this point, the Buddha of No Light finally said that there is no way that Buddha can occupy.
"The answer actually lies in my title as a poor monk."
"Great Nirvana?"
"Exactly!"
Gu Yunli nodded without surprise. There must be a reason why Wuguang Buddha could achieve the status of a Bodhisattva and be given the title of Buddha.
The so-called title that is closest to Buddha is probably also an allusion to the fact that this path has no master.
Gu Yunli thought about it and asked again, "It has been a thousand years, but it is still ownerless?"
Buddha Wuguang said: "I don't know."
Gu Yunli was silent.
After a while, he finally removed the three seals and tried to obtain the initiation and secret command from the Buddha of No Light.
Unexpectedly, the moment he removed the seal, the Youhuang Secret Bowl suddenly trembled, and a power that did not belong to the Buddha of No Light rippled out. An illusion of a majestic Buddha appeared from behind the Buddha of No Light.
Gu Yunli was horrified, and all kinds of killing moves were used one after another. The Buddha statue opened its eyes, the Buddha bell transformed, and the great nirvana was in a gloomy state...
However, all these forces were like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of the Buddha's illusion, and in an instant, they were killed by the Buddha of No Light.
Gu Yunli, who was imitating the old monk, disappeared before he could even perform the Nirvana and Reincarnation method.
This scene shocked Gu Yunli.
——The Youhuang Secret Bowl actually possesses the power of Buddha!
