I Have a Trillion Merits

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sat directly on Diting, turned and left the Mahavira Hall.

After Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva left.

Jieyin looked at Zhunti and said, "I hope that Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha's departure will go smoothly."

Zhunti laughed and said: "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva possesses such auspicious beasts as Diting, so compared with other people, he has already taken the lead."

"If there are no other accidents, I should have won this time."

Compared with Zhunti's optimism, Jieyin was a little worried.

"hope so!"

...

After Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva left the Daxiong Hall, he rushed directly to the underworld.

He also heard something from the two Buddha Lords about this catastrophe of conferring gods. In short, it was a catastrophe that swept the entire prehistoric world.

In the prehistoric world, thousands of living beings will be swept into it.

It is also because of these reasons that the two Buddha Lords recalled all the disciples in the Eastern world.

However, he was a little curious about what that mortal with the appearance of a flying bear looked like.

After Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva came to the underworld, the first thing he did was to visit the sage of Houtu. After all, this place was created by the sage of Houtu.

As a Buddhist, if he wants to come here to guard for a hundred years, he must say hello to the sage of Houtu.

After Houtu knew about the arrival of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and during this period of time, there were often disciples who explained and cut off teachings wandering in the underworld.

She already knew in her heart that something must have happened here.

Otherwise, they don't have to.

But fortunately, these people abide by some rules and live in the underworld more peacefully, otherwise they will be driven out of the underworld by her.

one day.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was walking in the underworld, and when he reached a hell, he raised his eyes and saw many dead souls struggling in the hell.

Seeing those dead souls ups and downs in the sea of ​​hell, suffering from pain and suffering, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva felt a little intolerable.

The teaching of Buddhism is to save people from the sea of ​​suffering, so that people no longer suffer.

This time I saw a situation that was contrary to my own Buddhist teachings, but Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was not easy to make a move, after all, this place is a hell.

It was created and governed by the sages of Houtu, and the ten halls of Yama once again sat in charge.

He has no other way to relieve the pain of these dead souls.

I can only stand aside and recite scriptures to reduce the pain of these dead souls with the power of scriptures.

Beside him, Di Ting was quietly lying there watching everything in front of him.

At this moment, when Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was concentrating on reciting scriptures for these dead souls, Hong Yun had already known what happened in the underworld in Penglai Xiandao.

After all, the Ten Palaces of Yama were originally the incarnation of the fruit presented by Hongyun after creating the six realms of reincarnation for Houtu.

Although all of them are Da Luo Jinxian's cultivation base, but if there is a real fight, it is not sure whether they can take advantage.

As early as before, someone notified Hongyun about the Taishang Laojun sending heavenly soldiers into the underworld.

Penglai Xiandao.

When Hong Yun knew that Buddhism sent Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to the underworld, he couldn't help chuckling.

Immediately, he transformed himself into a Taoist man in red, left Penglai Xiandao, entered the underworld directly, and found Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

When he came, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was chanting sutras in an attempt to save the souls of the underworld.

Seeing this, Hong Yun smiled lightly and said, "What does the Bodhisattva want to do?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looked up at the Taoist in red beside him, and said, "All living beings are suffering, and the souls of the dead are suffering. I am willing to save the souls of the dead here and save them from the sea of ​​suffering within a period of a hundred years."

At this point, the endless souls of the dead who were struggling in the sea of ​​​​hell are all looking at them with grateful eyes at this moment.

During these days, they clearly felt the changes in themselves in the scriptures.

If it was said that they were just in the sea of ​​suffering without the slightest hope, then they are now.

Just hope.

One day, you can leave the sea of ​​hell and enter the cycle of six realms.

After all, these are people who committed great crimes during their lifetime.

Letting them live and struggle in the sea of ​​hell is nothing more than the punishment of the underworld.

But Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva tried to purify their sins with the power of scriptures and vows.

This has never happened since the establishment of the underworld.

After hearing the words of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Hong Yun smiled lightly and said, "Why does the Bodhisattva say it takes a hundred years? Could it be that in a hundred years you can save the souls of the dead here?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looked at the dead souls in the sea of ​​hell, and said, "Yes."

Just at this moment, a ghost escort who escorted the evil spirit arrived, and looked at the two of them with some surprise.

Originally, there was only Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva here.

But I never thought that another red-clothed Taoist came today. Judging from his appearance, he should also be a great power in the prehistoric world.

Thinking of this, the ghost messenger couldn't help sighing secretly.

Recently, for unknown reasons, many great powers in the prehistoric world have rushed to the underworld one after another.

I heard that they are still under the seat of saints.

Don't know what will happen in the future.

The ghost messenger sighed, and threw the evil soul in his hand to the sea of ​​hell. After that, there was another evil soul riddled with evil spirits in the sea of ​​hell.

Seeing this, Hong Yun smiled lightly and said, "Look, Bodhisattva, there are endless dead souls in the sea of ​​hell."

"Even if you save the souls of the dead here, how many souls of the dead will be thrown into the sea of ​​hell in a hundred years."

"As long as all spirits exist in the prehistoric world, the sea of ​​hell will never be empty."

After Hong Yun finished speaking, she stood where she was, quietly looking at the many dead souls floating in the sea of ​​hell in front of her.

Wait quietly for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's response.

after a long time.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said slowly, "I can only do my best, and I cannot respond to your words."

Hong Yun said: "Dare to ask the Bodhisattva, what is compassion?"

"I see that your Western teachings are all based on compassion, to cross the sea of ​​suffering and save all souls from suffering. Is this compassion?"

Earth Store Bodhisattva was silent for a long time, and said, "Yes."

Hong Yun said again: "Then what the Bodhisattva said this time is inconsistent with your Western teachings?"

Earth Store Bodhisattva said: "Yes."

Hong Yun said again: "In this case, how did the Bodhisattva become a Buddha?"

Hong Yun's words, in the ears of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, exploded in his mind like a thunderbolt.

If you are not compassionate, how can you be a Buddha.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stood startled on the edge of the sea of ​​hell, watching the dead souls floating in it, and kept thinking in his heart.

It's like being stuck in an infinite loop.

He was thinking about whether the opportunity he missed was here.

The two sages who were introduced to Zhunti before were all with great ambitions to become a Buddha and become a sage, so there is a theory of Western Buddhism.

And he is only a short distance from becoming a Buddha, and Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha faintly felt it.

His first chance is here.

After a long time.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sighed leisurely, and said: "I wish to transform all living beings with the strength of my great compassion vows, without showing the Buddha body, and always use the Bodhisattva body to save sentient beings from sin and suffering."

"Hell is not empty, vow not to become a Buddha, save all sentient beings, only to realize Bodhi."
