Big Bodhi - Chapter 460
The little beggar rolled his eyes, didn’t even open his eyes, and said feebly, “I’ve been here since Changzhou, and I’ve been living on the alms of others all the way. I found this broken Temple two days ago, and I can’t even fill my stomach. How can I have the heart to see any Buddha statues?”
At this time, the cow headed monster seemed to be blessed to the soul. Its simple and honest appearance disappeared, and its expression was very serious. He said, “although I have not been built into a demon body for a long time, I have also heard that the god Buddha Temple in Jiangling County is extremely effective. If we sincerely beg, we can get a glimmer of vitality.”
The little beggar hissed, squinted and said, “let me ask you, how long has this temple not had incense?”
The ox headed monster was stunned. He looked at the broken temple again and said, “at least for several years.”
“That’s it,” the little beggar sneezed hard and closed his eyes again. “If this temple is really effective, it won’t be ignored. You can’t understand such a simple reason. It’s really a fool.”
The ox headed monster sighed a long sigh, stood up straight, walked slowly under the stone platform of the Buddha, looked up at the broken Buddha, and said, “the rain is so heavy, you and I might as well try it, otherwise within three days, the broken temple will completely collapse. At that time, the sky elephant body ghost soaked in, and it is still a terrible end.”
His behavior was very pious, as if he had suddenly changed into a person, and he knelt down respectfully towards the Buddha.
The little beggar was frightened by his expression. He couldn’t help sitting up straight and looked at the cow headed monster kneeling on the ground.
After the ox headed monster meticulously worshipped three times and nine times, he looked up at the blurred Buddha and said word by word, “Buddha is merciful, and he hopes to give a glimmer of vitality. After that, old ox will worship day and night, and he will never dare to be slack.”
After a few breaths, the Buddha did not change, and the face of the ox headed monster inevitably showed a color of despair.
The little beggar’s eyes turned, as if thinking of something, and he said, “let me ask you, do you know which Buddha this is?”
“The first cause of all worlds”
The ox headed monster shook his head, and his tall body was paralyzed on the ground, and fell feebly under the stone platform.
The little beggar stood up and looked back and forth in the narrow broken temple, and finally stopped on a broken wooden plaque.
He lifted his leg and kicked the cow’s head demon, saying, “go and turn over the wooden plaque and see what it says.”
Seeing the little beggar doing this, the ox head demon also thought of his joints. His eyes were slightly bright. He summoned up his strength and stood up. He took two steps at once and grabbed the wooden plaque.
The front of the wooden plaque has been placed towards the ground, which has long been covered with dense cobwebs. The cow head monster stretched out its big hand and wiped it vigorously, gradually revealing several ancient seal characters carved on it.
The little beggar looked at the wooden plaque without blinking, and his expression was a little stunned. He murmured, “Ma Tou Pilu Dharmapala King Bodhisattva? What kind of Buddha is this? How come I have never heard of it?”
Suddenly, the cow’s head demon’s expression changed dramatically. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the worn Buddha on the stone platform, trembling and saying, “the Ming King Bodhisattva has come to life!”
The little beggar turned his head and saw an incredible scene.
The twisted head of the Buddha statue, which is less than half, actually emits blazing Buddha light. Between the interweaving of gold threads, a one eyed horse head with closed eyes is condensed in a moment!
The golden thread didn’t stop flowing around at all, but changed with the distortion of the outline of the Buddha. I don’t know how long it took, and finally turned into a terrible stone statue.
The stone statue is red, with three sides and eight arms. There is a huge eye on the forehead of each horse face. Its three single eyes are no longer closed, but open. Its fangs are exposed, and its hair and beard are red and yellow and stand up, showing a fearless anger.
The three sides of the horse head piluming Bodhisattva represent emptiness, spirituality and sexuality, the eight arms represent wisdom and sorrow, the three eyes wide open represent subduing the three living demons, and the exposed fangs represent frightening all the evil demons that hinder the operation of the animal path.
There are six cycles in the netherworld Fengdu. Each cycle is guarded by a Dharma protector Ming Wang, who is worshipped by all living beings in heaven and earth.
Ma Tou piluming Bodhisattva is the Ming king of hell who protects the beast road.
There are many Buddhist sects, including many Bodhisattvas and true Buddhas. Most of these Bodhisattvas’s Taoism fields are not in Xumi holy mountain, but scattered within the three realms.
After the last immeasurable robbery, the nominal common Lord of heaven and earth was the thirty-three heaven court, but the thirty-three heaven court after the catastrophe was unable to put pressure on Buddhism.
This also led to many Bodhisattva venerable in order to compete for merit and good fortune, the strife between them became more and more serious, and the creatures in their respective Dojo would erupt into extremely fierce conflicts if they were careless.
The netherworld Fengdu and the six ways of rotation are all under the control of the Bodhisattva of the earth Tibet king. The Bodhisattva of the earth Tibet king once said, “hell is not empty and does not prove the true Buddha”. This Bodhisattva is the supreme power that can compete with immeasurable Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and this horse head piluming Bodhisattva who protects the beast road is one of the hell Ming kings under his seat.
Although both belong to the Buddhism source religion, the one vein of the king of Tibet and Bodhisattva of Kedi has never traveled to Nanzhan Buzhou and Xiniu Hezhou to preach. Now the Buddha statue of King piluming Bodhisattva in Matou appears in the eastern Tang Dynasty, which is really incredible.
Although Ma Tou piluming King Bodhisattva was granted the title of “Bodhisattva”, he had no real “Bodhisattva” cultivation at all. As the Ming king of hell, his title was raised by half just because he guarded the beast path, one of the six cycles, and his special identity raised him to “Ma Tou piluming King Bodhisattva”.
Reflected by the light of the Buddha, the space under the stone platform was distorted, and there were more than a dozen plates of lingguo wine and delicacies.
The tempting fragrance of fairy fruit spirit wine instantly filled the whole temple. The cow headed monster knelt to the ground, and his mouth couldn’t help salivating. But he first worshipped the old Buddha statue, which had been restored to its original state, and then grabbed a plate of delicacies to eat.
The little beggar Kaman regained his consciousness, looked up at the weird statue of Buddha, vigorously smelled the sweet wine fragrance that filled his mouth, grabbed a pot of wine and poured it into his mouth.
He drank too quickly, but he choked his throat with the spirit wine. The little beggar coughed hard until his nose and tears flowed. He cried with a smile like crying, “if this Tianjia spirit wine were placed in Jiangling County, I’m afraid I can’t buy a thousand immortal stones! I really didn’t think that it was saved by the god Buddha I usually think is useless!”
When he finished drinking the spirit wine, the little beggar put the wine pot aside, stood up with all his strength, and respectfully walked under the stone platform of the Buddha. He knelt down devoutly and bowed his head, “mercy of Bodhisattva! Mercy of Buddha!”
The cow headed monster who was eating and drinking in the sea stopped eating. Then they knelt down together and bowed down and said, “Bodhisattva is merciful!”
