It was fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed. The new Shang Dynasty had gone through sixteen generations of kings, but it still fell in the end. The world was in chaos, and the vassals fought for hegemony. The Nine Regions had entered the era of the overlord. All the feudal vassals had been attacking each other. The Divine Great Land was filled with smoke. The constant battles made the people miserable and miserable. The people lost their faith and confidence in the country.
Great Red Heaven, Eight Visions Palace. The Grand Supreme Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue looked at Abundant Treasures, who was fanning him. With a bang, the golden core was produced. "Your heart is still restless. This batch of Nine Revolutions Golden Pills had only reached eight!”Abundant Treasures attacked the Grand Supreme Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue in the Myriad Immortal Formation and offended the dignity of the saints. He was detained by the Heavenly Lord with the Wind and Fire Praying Mat. It had been almost 500 years since he came to the Eight Visions Palace. The Grand Supreme Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue had only constantly lectured him and asked him to refine pills with him.
Duo Bao knew that his uncle master wouldn't take care of him for no reason, but he hadn't given him any instructions for too long. Abundant Treasures was a person who had controlled the huge Jie School for a long time. His character was really unable to accept such depressed days.
"It's time!"
The Grand Supreme Lord of Dao and Virtue decided to reincarnate as a spiritual avatar to spread the teachings of Taoism and the Great Way of the Celestial Sect. An old man appeared in front of the Celestial with a pole in his hand, his eyes shining brightly. The Heavenly Venerate nodded in satisfaction.”The old man turned into a beam of light and entered the mortal world through reincarnation.
In the human world, in a quiet village at the border of Chu State.
Li Shi, a farmer's wife, was washing clothes by the river at the entrance of the village when she suddenly saw a yellow plum floating down from the upper reaches. Madam Li quickly scooped up the fist-sized yellow plum with a branch. At noon, Mrs. Li was hot and thirsty, so she ate the plum. From then on, Li Shi became pregnant. She was pregnant for 81 years and gave birth to a boy. The boy had white eyebrows, white hair, and a big white beard. When the boy was born, the sky was filled with seven-colored rays of light. The fragrance spread for thousands of miles, and the earth returned to spring. Whether it was their livestock or the beasts in the distance, they all prostrated themselves on the ground and bowed to the boy. Each animal's eyes had a hint of spirituality. Therefore, Li knew that her child was a great virtue, so she named him Laozi. I was born to speak. He pointed to a plum tree in the courtyard and said, Li is my surname."
Lao Tzu was intelligent since childhood. He was quiet and studious. He often pestered his family to listen to the rise and fall of the country, the success or failure of war, the sacrifice and divination, and the observation of stars and images. When he grew older, he said goodbye to his family and rode west with the doctor's servant. When Lao Tzu entered the Zhou Dynasty, he paid a visit to the doctor and entered the Imperial College. He studied astronomy, geography and human relations. He read the Book of Songs, the Book of Books, the Book of Changes, the Calendar, the Book of Rites and the Music. He studied cultural relics, laws and history books. In three years, he made great progress. The doctor also recommended him to enter the treasury as an official. The Shouzang Room was the place where the classics of the Zhou Dynasty were collected. It collected all the articles and books in the world. It was full of sweat and had everything. Lao Tzu was in the middle, like a dragon swimming into the sea, the sea was wide and the dragon jumped; He was like an eagle spreading its wings in the blue sky, allowing birds to fly high in the sky. Lao Tzu was hungry and thirsty. He read extensively and gradually reached a good state. He understood the origin of rites and music and the purpose of morality. Three years later, he was promoted to the post of history of the treasury. His fame spread far and near and spread all over the country. Laozi had thought hard for decades and finally summarized what he had learned in his life. He named it the Tao Te Ching. Later, because of the loss of ancient books and records, Lao Tzu resigned from his official position and left the palace to live in seclusion. He rode a green ox and wanted to leave Hangu Pass and travel west to the State of Qin.
It is said that Guan Yin, the official guarding Hangu Pass, liked to observe astronomy and read ancient books when he was young. He had profound cultivation. One night, as he gazed at the starry sky above the independent pavilion, he suddenly saw purple clouds gathering in the east. They were 30,000 miles long and looked like flying dragons. They rolled over from east to west and said to themselves,"Purple qi comes from the east for 30,000 miles, and saints pass through this place from the west. The green ox slowly carried the old man, hiding his form and mixing with his vitality.”Guan Yin had long heard of this old man's name, and thought,"Could it be that this old man is going to be my future?" So he sent people to clean the road for forty miles and burn incense along the road to welcome the sage.
On the afternoon of the 12th of July, the sun set in the west and the light shone in the east. The gatekeeper was about to go down to check when he suddenly saw an old man riding a green bull upside down among the scattered pedestrians at the foot of the pass. The old man's hair was white as snow, his eyebrows drooped down to his temples, his ears and shoulders drooped down to his shoulders, and his beard drooped down to his knees. He was dressed in a simple and clean robe. Guan Yin looked up to the sky and sighed. I'll be able to see a Saint!" He rushed forward and knelt in front of the green bull,""Guan Yin pays his respects to the Sage!"
Lao Tzu saw that the person kowtowing had a square face, thick lips, thick eyebrows, and a nose. He was dignified but not cold, gentle but not coquettish. He knew that he was not an ordinary person, so he deliberately probed,"Lord Guan Ling kowtowing to a poor old man is an extraordinary courtesy! I don't dare to accept it. What can I do for you?”"You are a saint, sir," said Guan Yin. I hope you can stay in the house to guide me on the way of cultivation.”"What is so sacred about me that you love me so much?" asked Laozi. Are you ashamed to kill me?" "I have no talent," said Guan Yin,"but I like to observe astronomy and know a little about changes. When he saw the purple qi coming from the east, he knew that there was a saint going west. He saw the purple qi rolling like a dragon, 30,000 miles long. Those who know the future are the most holy and supreme, not the usual saints. See the first purple cloud surrounded by white clouds, know the sage white hair, is the shape of an old man; See purple gas in front of the green ox star pull, know the sage riding green ox to come.”
Laozi laughed and said,"You flatter me!" I've long heard of your name and have come to pay you a visit.”Guan Yin was very happy to hear this and kowtowed repeatedly. After that, Guan Yin led Lao Zi to the official residence and invited him to sit on the throne. He burned incense and performed the etiquette of a disciple."Mister is the current Great Sage! The sage does not steal his own wisdom, but must take the wisdom of the world as his own duty. Now you are going to live in seclusion without benevolence, and it will be difficult to find someone to ask for advice! Why don't you write down your wisdom? Although Guan Yin is humble, I hope to pass on your legacy to future generations, leaving a legacy for thousands of generations.”Lao Tzu laughed a few times after hearing this and passed on the Tao Te Ching to Guan Yin.
"Dao can be said, but it is not the same. A name can be called a name, but it cannot be called a name. There is no name for the beginning of heaven and earth; there is a name for the mother of all things.
······
Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are treated as straw dogs. The sage is not benevolent and treats the common people as straw dogs.
······
The best is like water. Water is good at benefiting all things, but it does not compete with others. It is in a place that everyone hates, so it is close to the Tao.
······”
A voluminous Tao Te Ching, with words following the law and golden lotuses spitting out of his mouth. Countless birds and beasts surrounded Laozi and listened to the sound of the Great Dao. Following Laozi's explanation, Laozi's body, without a trace of magic power, gradually flew into the air. In the sky, a huge virtual image of Laozi was solemn and solemn. Laozi and the Virtual Image merged into one. In an instant, a strange phenomenon descended from the sky and golden lotuses surged on the ground. It was Laozi who had awakened his memories and recovered his cultivation as a Saint. Lao Tzu explained the essence of the Tao Te Ching to Guan Yin. He took Taoist Duobao with him, said goodbye to Guan Yin, and went west. After Laozi left, Guan Yin left behind his seal, which disappeared without a trace. Later on, he established the Mount Shu branch in the human world and brought the Humanity Sect to greater heights.
Laozi and Abundant Treasures traveled westward, explaining the Great Way to him. Abundant Treasures Taoist was intelligent and knew that Uncle Master wanted to help him, so he did his best to ask for advice along the way. Seeing Abundant Treasures like this, Laozi explained with all his heart. One day, the two of them came to a nameless hill." Do you understand now?”Laozi asked. Duo Bao's face was covered in tears. "Disciple understands!"
Abundant Treasures kowtowed three times and nine times in the direction of Golden Ao Island in the Shang Qing Realm. Sect Master Tongtian on Golden Ao Island said softly,""Silly child, this is your opportunity!"
Duo Bao walked towards the west step by step. I see the light of the glazed treasure on the horizon. Not a speck of dust. Light flourished. In the middle of the song, there is a little wonderful sound of chanting, the goddess scattered flowers. He knew that the time had come. He immediately stopped. Burning incense and bathing. Pray devoutly. With the protection of the Golden Core, Abundant Treasures passed through the reincarnation cycle and did not lose his mind. He was born in the Central Plains of India and was a member of the royal family of King Jingfan. When the treasures were born, there were all kinds of special and wonderful signs. The earth shook with six kinds of auspicious signs. The origin of the heavenly maidens scattering flowers, the heavenly people bathing the Buddha's body with extraordinary and wonderful nectar, and the heavenly people bathing the Buddha's body with extraordinary and wonderful nectar is the origin of the Dharma Assembly of Bathing Buddha in later generations. After Myriad Treasures was born, he walked seven steps to the east, west, south, and north. With each step, a lotus appeared on the ground to receive the Buddha's feet. The Blessed One pointed to the sky and the earth.
"I am the only one in the world!"
The name of the treasure was changed to Sakyamuni.
At the age of 16, he married his cousin, Yeshu Tuoluo, and gave birth to a son. During this period, they lived a luxurious and comfortable life. At the age of 19, he had traveled many times and seen all kinds of pain in the human world. No matter who it was, rich or poor, they could not escape the ultimate fate of birth, old age, illness, and death. Shakyamuni had always believed that there should be something eternal in the world that would not disappear because of any moment of pain or death. At the age of 29, he gave up his identity as the Crown Prince and the comfortable life in the palace. He left home to seek his way out. After six years of arduous cultivation, he still could not find the way to freedom and gave up his asceticism. At the age of 35, Shakyamuni was deep in thought under a bodhi tree. He swore that he would not rise to this seat unless he attained the Buddhist Way. Finally, he was enlightened and understood the way to free himself from life and death. He entered the path and became a Buddha.
After that, Sakyamuni passed away and his soul returned to the Earth Celestial Realm. He established the Hinayana Buddhism in the West and became a peak Sage-to-be cultivator who had cut off the two corpses. At this time, the Western Sect had already left the Xuanmen Sect and changed its name to Mahayana Buddhism. Duobao established the Hinayana Buddhism, but it took away the luck of Mahayana Buddhism. After thinking for a long time, Jie Yin and Zhunti Sages decided to retire and leave the Mahayana Buddhism under the management of Abundant Treasures. So Zhunti went to see Duobao.
The sage Zhunti met Sakyamuni. There are no more treasures in the world, only Sakyamuni!”He heard Abundance Treasure, no, Sakyamuni say that. Cundi was relieved. Shakyamuni was not lying. He really thought so.
"From today onwards, Shakyamuni is the ancestor of all Buddhas!”With Taoist Cundi's solemn declaration, Sakyamuni officially became the master of Western Buddhism. Shakyamuni felt the sincerity of the two sages of the West and immediately bowed. At this point, his sincerity was incorporated into Buddhism. Buddhism was not as lucky as Lao Zi thought. Instead, it was more prosperous than before. Lord Lao Zi had lost his plan and owed the two sages of the west a huge karma, planting the seeds for Buddhism to spread to the east in the future.
Wen Dao Mountain and the Celestial Pole had seen all of this. Although they already knew the result, they were still very impressed by the determination of the Two Sages of the West. The two Sages had retreated in order to advance. Not only had they successfully resolved the crisis of Buddhism's division, but they had also subdued Sakyamuni Buddha, a peak Sage-to-be expert. At the same time, it was Laojun who owed karma and planted the seeds for the future Eastward Spread. It could be said to be 'killing three birds with one stone'. It was wonderful!
