Chapter 163 Wanfo Mountain Seeking Death

At this moment, Su Xiaowei was not really happy. The girl did not know the taste of sorrow, and the moment she knew it was when she was separated.

Wang Xuan saw it and pointed to a middle-aged woman fifty meters ahead and said to Su Xiaowei, "Do you know why that lady went to worship Buddha? You can guess."

Su Xiaowei's attention was drawn. She looked at her and guessed, "She is not dressed well. She must be very poor. I think she is seeking wealth."

Wang Xuan smiled, and the two of them walked up to her and asked a few questions. It turned out that what the middle-aged woman wanted was indeed for the Buddha to bless her family and bring in a lot of wealth.

Because no one in her family for four generations has ever made a fortune, if it weren't for federal subsidies and welfare, her family would have been penniless.

I lost money in business, and finally saved enough money to buy a car, but got into an accident on the road. My son got married and lived in poverty for three years. I worked hard to pay for the baby's milk powder, and I had no time to rest for the family.

They always have no spare money and live a tight life. This situation has lasted for not one or two generations, not ten or eight years, but four generations and hundreds of years.

"Do you think that if she prays to the gods, she will really be blessed and her family will become wealthy?" Wang Xuan asked her.

Su Xiaowei thought about it and shook her head: “Money doesn’t fall from the sky, it can only be earned through their own efforts.

In addition to fate, some people are indeed particularly unlucky. This is probability. When unfortunate things come together, it becomes bad luck.

If I were a Bodhisattva, I would only make her family less unlucky, but she still has to earn money herself."

Wang Xuan pointed at a middle-aged man in his fifties who looked a bit official-like and asked, "Then what do you think he is asking for?"

"Promotion, I guess. He doesn't look worried. He must have higher aspirations. I can't think of anything else besides promotion, wealth, and improvement of cultivation.

This kind of person who prays to God and Buddha probably won't be blessed by anyone. This is greed. He has already gotten enough and has no misfortunes. Even if he gets what he wants, he will still want to go one step further and will never be satisfied. "Su Xiaowei replied.

"Smart, you see things very clearly."

Wang Xuan smiled. Are all the believers who come to Wanfo Mountain really devout? No, in fact, most of them come here to ask for help from Buddha.

As the saying goes, if you don't pray at ordinary times, you will miss out on help at the last minute.

"Do you think they should come? If the Buddha hears their wishes, will he fulfill them?"

Su Xiaowei thought very hard, but finally shook her head: "Heaven moves forward, and a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement. It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish. A true devout believer will gain wisdom, peace of mind, and a home.

As for their troubles, I think the True Buddha doesn’t have time to care about them.

If there is injustice and imbalance, and believers really encounter misfortune, the Bodhisattvas and Arhats will see it and perhaps correct the energy of heaven and earth and restore justice.

As for the idea of ​​wanting a better life when life is already good, it is probably desire. It is normal to try to realize such desire by yourself, but praying to gods is useless.

If they really want to ask Buddha, Buddha would rather they let the four elements be empty, so that they will be free from worries. Since the four elements are empty, there is naturally no point in asking for those things. "

Wang Xuan nodded: "It is better to rely on yourself than on others, and it is better to work hard on your own than to rely on Buddha. As for success or failure, it depends on luck and fate.

They cannot see the wisdom of Buddhism, they only see the boundlessness of the Dharma. However, no matter how boundless the Dharma is, how can it fall on them? What virtue or ability do they have to be favored by it? "

Looking at the various people along the way, the pilgrims have pure hearts, which makes people feel the holiness of Buddha. Some people are restless, wishing that the gods and Buddhas would bless them, get promoted, and become rich immediately, and they show their seven emotions and six desires.

The sacred and the filthy are traveling together on the road to the first holy place in Buddhism, but they don’t know how to return.

After walking for a long time, the minds of the pedestrians on the road gradually calmed down, and they felt peaceful and harmonious. The Buddha's light shone from afar, making people forget their worries.

Finally, Wang Xuan and Su Xiaowei arrived at Wanfo Mountain.

There are plains all around, and the White Jade Square is unimaginably large, almost ten miles in radius. In the center of the White Jade Square is also a mountain, a sacred mountain shrouded in golden light.

This mountain is called Wanfo Mountain because it is surrounded by tall Buddhist statues, which are either compassionate or peaceful, facing all directions. In the center of the circular white jade square are hundreds of Bodhisattva statues that are ten feet high, and beside the Bodhisattva statues are the venerable Arhats sitting under them.

Adding up, there are thousands of these statues. If a few decades pass, the name of Ten Thousand Buddhas will probably be truly worthy of its name.

Of course, this Buddha refers to the Buddha statue. Only the Arhats at the corresponding level of earthly immortals are qualified to erect their own statues and accept incense from the world.

If you count carefully, there is only one real Buddha in Baoguang Temple, and that is Baoguang Bodhisattva. Although he can be regarded as an immortal being of Buddha, he is only called a Bodhisattva.

Such a Bodhisattva's status is probably similar to that of Guanyin and Ksitigarbha in mythology, and is even stronger than the ordinary Buddha.

On the White Jade Square, countless believers worshipped the Buddha statue, chanted Buddhist scriptures, and lit incense and candles. As for donating money, there is no such thing as there is no merit box here.

Millions of people make wishes and fulfill them in front of the Buddha statues. Their faiths, some pure and some filled with distractions, converge and go to the Buddha statues one by one.

Those who have pure faith may see divine manifestations. As for those with mottled and messy faiths, Bodhisattvas will not even look at them, and may even directly eliminate them for fear of polluting their Dharma bodies.

"Human beings are alive, but Buddha statues are dead. It is really intriguing that they seek death while living.

With millions of people and millions of thoughts, even the boundless holiness of the Buddha Dharma cannot keep up."

Wang Xuan looked around and saw that the entire Wanfo Mountain was shrouded in a faint golden color. Golden energy was everywhere and everything in front of him was glowing with a faint Buddha's light.

With the faith of hundreds of millions of believers accumulating over time, even the soil has been permeated with golden energy, revealing a pure, crystal color.

In this place filled with energy, plants are lush and fruits are abundant. With his eyesight, he can see that there are many Buddhist disciples with smiling faces picking fruits on Wanfo Mountain.

Gold, silver and colored glaze can be seen everywhere on Wanfo Mountain, and the seven treasures of Buddhism are everywhere, but no one picks them up. The name of the Buddhist Pure Land is well-deserved.

Wang Xuan was talking as he walked, and in fact many people heard it, which made some people angry.

"You discuss Buddhism like this, pointing fingers and speaking without restraint. Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the Bodhisattva?" an old man scolded.

Obviously, he could not stand Wang Xuan's comments. In his opinion, Bodhisattva and Buddha were supreme, and their greatness and wisdom were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

It is ridiculous for ants to discuss dragons. When facing gods and Buddhas, mortals should remain in awe and respect them.

Any disrespectful words should not be spoken, otherwise it is a great disrespect and you will go to hell after death.

Wang Xuan glanced at him and said calmly: "If gods and Buddhas care about me, they are not gods and Buddhas."

Gods and Buddhas also ascended to the altar step by step from being mortals. Each level has its own scenery. His ideas are only suitable for the present. As for the future, how could he know?

As for going to hell? If he goes to hell, he will turn it upside down. If he fails to become a human hero, he will become a ghost hero!
At this moment, a light bulb went off in his head, and he suddenly realized that the gods and Buddhas in the eyes of believers are actually different from the real gods and Buddhas.

This difference is probably worth pondering.

Ignoring the looks of others, Wang Xuan and Su Xiaowei walked towards Wanfo Mountain step by step. There are two ways to go up the mountain, one is the mountain stairs, and the other is to become a monk.

The mountain ladder is ten meters long and wide. Thousands and thousands of believers walk up it and are enveloped in the Buddha's light. Suddenly their worries disappear, their desires are forgotten, and they experience a carefree and blissful state where the four elements are empty.

Although this state will disappear after they go down the mountain, after experiencing it, they know that this is indeed the Pure Land of Buddhism, a holy place worthy of their faith.

As for the other road, many people climb it, but only a few can actually make it up.

The old man looked at Wang Xuan and Su Xiaowei walking on the path to becoming a monk and snorted coldly, firmly believing in his heart that these two arrogant people would definitely be punished.
