"Is this the history of the West Province?"
"It's quite heavy!"
"Countless despairing people placed their hopes on Patriarch Bodhidharma alone, but Patriarch Bodhidharma was only human.”
"Just as he said, he was born a hundred years later.”
In Qixia Town, Xu Fengnian sighed. Unlike Dugu Qiubai and Zhang Sanfeng, Patriarch Bodhidharma's past only made people feel a sense of heaviness.
This heaviness was so heavy that it was almost suffocating!
"Patriarch Bodhidharma is still in Shaolin. Has he returned to the West Province? Did he save his master and his country?”
Mo Xiaobei, the youngest in Tong Fu Inn, asked in confusion. Yesterday, Mo Xiaobei went to school. However, with such a big incident happening in Nine Regions, the Headmaster of the Academy probably felt that it was not suitable to go to school for a period of time. He waved his hand and gave all the students in Qixia Town a holiday.
Mo Xiaobei's question was also the question of countless people in the Nine Regions. With such doubts, people continued to look up at the light screen in the sky.
At the age of fifty-four, Patriarch Bodhidharma arrived in the Nine Prefectures. He had been floating on the sea for a full twenty-four years. This was like half a lifetime of drifting for an ordinary person. It made Bodhidharma's face look a little more weathered and experienced.
Six hundred and sixty years ago, the ancient Darkhan Dynasty collapsed in the Nine Prefectures, and the human world entered an era where countless dynasties rose up. The living beings of the Nine Provinces of that era did not know that a land that was not much smaller than the Nine Provinces had collapsed far away.
There were countless disputes in the human world, and countless commoners did not have enough to eat. Patriarch Bodhidharma looked at the familiar tragedy of the human world, and at this moment, the age on his face seemed to have increased.
He stood outside the small town by the sea for several hours, and then he seemed to have made up his mind. The living beings of the Nine States were not his people, but hearing the familiar joys and sorrows, he seemed to hear the people of Xiangzhi begging him again...
This human Buddha from the west began to officially walk the Nine States with his compassionate heart. As he walked through the Nine Provinces, he also discovered that there was actually a belief in Buddha in the Nine Provinces?
He understood that perhaps hundreds of years ago, there were already sages from the West Continent who had entered the Nine Regions to preach Buddhism.
He and the last hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangzhi abandoned the original Buddhist doctrine and summed up the Mahayana doctrine that belonged to them. However, the commoners of the Nine Prefectures were more accepting of the Hinayana doctrine that had been spread eastward for hundreds of years.
He was once a Buddhist Son who had read widely. Just like that, he walked on the land of the Nine Prefectures, preaching Buddhism while doing his best to prevent the tragedy from happening.
No matter what era it was, a martial arts celestial was a figure at the peak of the human world. In addition, Bodhidharma secretly carried out his Mahayana Buddhist principles, and his followers slowly gained considerable strength.
Some of these people were just craving for Dharma's martial arts, while others really wanted to follow Dharma to pacify the chaotic world.
Bodhidharma was unable to discern the human heart, so he could only try his best to leave a glimmer of hope for this chaotic world. If there was a scum in his sect, he would also travel thousands of miles to hunt that person down.
Bodhidharma and his followers would go to the battlefield and silently collect the bodies of the dead, bringing back the letters from home that they could not send back until the last moment of their lives.
They would chant the Great Compassion Mantra, not to release the souls, but to sincerely wish that the soldiers who died on the battlefield would not suffer so much.
As Bodhidharma went further and further in the human world of the Nine States, and as they appeared on one battlefield after another, his reputation slowly spread to the various dynasties of the Nine States at that time.
Some people despised them for being a hindrance and sent out an army to kill them. However, the soldiers were unable to get close to Patriarch Bodhidharma and the others. It was as if an invisible force was obstructing them.
Some people felt that Dharma was just a naive idealist, and they were happy to help them clean up the battlefield.
Amongst them, there was also the Northern Wei Dynasty Lord. He himself revered Buddhism. In addition to the incredible legends of Bodhidharma in the human world, the ruler of the Northern Wei Dynasty invited Bodhidharma into the palace.
In the beginning, the ruler of the Northern Wei Dynasty only discussed Buddhist scriptures with Bodhidharma. Even though he had secretly hinted that he wanted Bodhidharma to join Northern Wei, Bodhidharma only pretended not to understand.
He tried to impart his Mahayana Buddhism to the ruler of Northern Wei, but after hearing Bodhidharma's Mahayana Buddhism, the ruler of Northern Wei directly declared that his Buddhism was heresy.
How could a person become a Buddha?
Everyone can become Buddha?
Buddha was high and mighty. How could humans dare to compare themselves to the Buddha in the sky?
It was unknown whether the ruler of Northern Wei hated Bodhidharma for not joining his own dynasty, or if he really had such thoughts. From that day onwards, Bodhidharma's Buddhist teachings were no longer allowed to circulate in Northern Wei.
Bodhidharma felt helpless about the Northern Wei ruler's actions. He understood that the Mahayana Buddhist philosophy that everyone could become Buddha violated the foundation of the dynasty.
Everyone could become Buddha, which meant that everyone had their own wisdom. At that time, countless dynasties in the Nine States pursued a policy of obscuring the people.
They were unwilling and did not want to see the people awaken their wisdom!
Bodhidharma, who understood this, no longer had any expectations for the rulers of the dynasty. He was the only one who could spread the Mahayana Buddhism of Nine Regions step by step!
That day, he told the ruler of Northern Wei that he wanted to see the waves.
That day, he had plucked a reed from the river and crossed the river in front of the ruler of Northern Wei!
After that day, Bodhidharma and his disciples only traveled to the human world. They were doing things that were worthy of their hearts. There were Buddhists among them, but they believed in Dharma!
Some of them had truly inherited Dharma's thoughts, and these people were the future Zen people.
At the age of sixty-six, Bodhidharma went to Shaoshi Mountain. He led his disciples to build a Buddhist temple on Shaoshi Mountain, and his personal disciple Hui Ke was the first abbot of Shaolin Temple.
He went to Dinglin Temple, which was an intrinsic Buddhist sect in the Nine Provinces. In Dinglin Temple, the abbot was debating with Bodhidharma. After hearing Bodhidharma's Mahayana Buddhism, he was shocked and furious.
The abbot of Dinglin Temple was named Shen Guang. He could not defeat Bodhidharma in terms of Buddhist principles, so he waved his hand and attacked Bodhidharma. Bodhidharma didn't notice it and his teeth were knocked out by the divine light.
Bodhidharma wasn't annoyed. He just swallowed the teeth and blood in his mouth. Since then, there were slangs in the Nine Provinces that described people who had great patience in the human world.
At that time, there was a great drought here. After Dharma's teeth were knocked out, there were actually dark clouds gathering in the sky?
Bodhidharma wasn't angry. He flew into the clouds and gathered the dark clouds with his martial arts. The land that had been suffering from drought for three years began to rain.
He used his own actions to tell the Divine Light to worship the Buddha in his heart and the Buddha in himself, not the clay Buddha and Bodhisattva in the temple!
Bathed in the heavy rain, Shen Guang entered the Mahayana Buddhism.
