Look In the Mirror

  Chapter 612 The Difficulty of Mara

   Abbot Zhenzhen frowned, and his tone was slightly hesitant: "Perhaps, there may be differences in what happened back then."

   Li Chen heard the words but couldn't help remembering them in his heart.

  It is also possible that the elder obscure said this intentionally, after all, the situation before Shasheng Temple was not very good.

  Deliberately blocked the news of the abbot's death.

   "Don't hide it from Guru Lichen, it's because of a merciless request from my Landa Temple that I'm looking for you here at this time." Abbot Zhenxin folded his hands together and saluted.

   Li Chen also hurriedly returned a salute, and couldn't help asking: "Master Zhenxin just speaks directly if he has something to say."

   "If there is something that I can help, I must not dare to refuse."

  Abbot Zhenzhen heard the words, his expression softened a little, he nodded slightly and said: "This matter has a great relationship with my Buddhism."

   "Master Lichen, has he ever heard of 'The Difficulty of Mara'?"

  Hearing this, Li Chen couldn't help nodding slightly: "It is said that Mara is the most evil demon in the world, and once slaughtered my Buddhist disciples.

   As a result, the Buddhism at that time died for three hundred years.

  Everyone was terrified when they heard about the monks, and Buddhism almost cut off its inheritance. "

   Abbot Zhenzhen let out a long sigh: "Not bad!"

   "'The Difficulty of Mara' should be the first life-and-death issue I experienced in Buddhism."

   "At that time, the world was far away from the monk's law because of what the devil did."

   "Buddhism has returned to silence in the dark, and it almost died because of it."

   "Later, thanks to Patriarch Bodhidharma, Zen Buddhism was established, and this demon was suppressed with the supreme power."

  “Landa Temple also began to practice Zen inheritance.”

  Landa Temple is the origin of Tantric Buddhism in the world, and it is also the place where Zen Buddhism flourishes.

  Everyone knows that Samsara Temple was founded by Bodhidharma, and it is also the birthplace of Zen Buddhism.

   But few people know that Bodhidharma was the "Zen sect" established in Landa Temple.

  In terms of the origin of Buddhism, Landa Temple is the best in the world.

   "Back then, Mara appeared suddenly and brought disaster to the world.

  Become the leader of the magic way and rule the world.

  While the rise of the devil leads to the decline of the Buddha, the monks hide in XZ, and the precarious situation is at stake.

   When it was almost cut off, Bodhidharma established a sect with Landa Temple successfully.

   hit 'Zen'.

   From this, an army suddenly emerged, and with the momentum of thunder, Moro was successfully sealed. "

  The sincere abbot spoke, and Li Chen couldn't help being surprised.

   "I didn't expect that 'The Difficulty of Mara' would have such an origin."

   Abbot Zhenzhen nodded: "It was also at that time that Landa Temple began to practice 'Zen' as well."

   "It's just that everyone in the world knows that Patriarch Bodhidharma sealed Mara, but they don't know that Patriarch Bodhidharma left a verse when he sealed it."

   "Oh? I would like to hear more about it."

   "The devil is the mind of the monk, and the monk is the heart of the devil.

  In one thought, the heart is inseparable. "

  Hearing the words, Li Chen felt a sudden movement in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just asked, "I don't know what Patriarch Bodhidharma's verse means?"

  Abbot Zhenzhen raised his head and took a deep look at Lichen: "This also involves a secret of my Buddhism."

   "Patriarch Bodhidharma practiced and proved the Tao, imitating the Buddha, using the method of Nirvana to enter the six reincarnations."

   "The way of the human world, the way of hell, the way of hungry ghosts, the way of Asura, the way of animals, and the way of gods."

   "Every time you experience one, you can get an epiphany about the power of rules."

   "Through this, I realized the supreme law 'The Great Way of Reincarnation'."

   "But going through the six realms is beyond what ordinary human beings can do.

  Even Patriarch Bodhidharma, going through the six realms is extremely dangerous.

   When he entered the 'Hell Way', he was discovered by the **** demon king Bo Xun, and then he sent magic soldiers and generals to intercept him. "

   "Patriarch Bodhidharma was determined, and with his supreme cultivation, successfully resolved the crisis. In the end, he killed a clone of the demon king Bo Xun and successfully escaped from hell."

   Lichen listened quietly, but his heart returned to the secret room in the Sutra Pavilion of Shasheng Temple.

  It was from there that he discovered the 'Alien Beast Liaoworm' and 'Abi Hell Rock'.

   There are ten pictures carved on the wall of the chamber of secrets.

  The scene described in it is generally the same as that described by Abbot Zhenxin at this time.

   "ε=(ο｀*))) Alas."

  After a long sigh, Abbot Zhenzhen lowered his eyes, and the only remaining eye was full of worry.

  Just listen to him continue: "Originally everything was seamless."

   "However, the cycle of karma and retribution is not good."

   "Even if he is as strong as the Patriarch Bodhidharma at that time, he still can't break free from it."

  Li Chen turned his eyes and couldn't help asking: "Could it be that this matter is related to the 'Ma Luo' in the world?"

  Hearing this, Abbot Zhenzhen nodded his head involuntarily, thinking in his heart that Master Lichen is really smart.

"good!"

   "The supreme 'Mara' in the world is transformed by the avatar of the demon king of **** 'Bo Xun'!"

"what!!"

   Li Chen's eyes were wide open, his face full of disbelief.

   Abbot Zhenxin lowered his brows and eyes, but he acquiesced.

   "Back then, Patriarch Bodhidharma was in hell, although he killed the demon king Bo Xun.

   But without checking for a while, a wisp of Bo Xun's soul was hidden in him.

   Then follow him through the six realms and return to the human world. "

   "As time goes by, the remnant soul secretly grows in strength, and then reborn in the world, incarnate as 'Mara'."

   "Because in hell, I was once beheaded by Bodhidharma, and I am worried about repeating the same mistakes.

  Therefore, to bring disaster to the world and destroy Buddhism! "

   "At that time, Patriarch Bodhidharma experienced the six realms, and it took three hundred years to realize the Tao, and it was during these three hundred years that Buddhism almost completely cut off its inheritance!"

   "Until three hundred years later, Patriarch Bodhidharma obtained the 'Road of Reincarnation' and suppressed Mara again."

   "But Mara is originally the clone of Demon King Bo Xun. The body of Demon King Bo Xun is immortal, and so is the clone."

   "I have no choice but to seal Mo Luo's soul in the Landa Temple."

  Li Chen heard the narration by Abbot Zhenzhen, and then suddenly realized.

   "I didn't expect that there would be such a secret in 'The Difficulty of Mara'."

   "It's just that I don't know how this has anything to do with the verse left by Patriarch Bodhidharma?"

   "The devil is the mind of the monk, and the monk is the heart of the devil.

  In one thought, the heart is inseparable. "

  After reading these four verses, Monk Zhenxin proclaimed the Buddha's name: "Amitabha."

   Then continued: "It is the seal, and it will loosen one day."

   "When the "reincarnation died out" thousands of years ago, the sealed place was full of demonic energy, and it seemed to have the intention of breaking free. Therefore, every hundred years, the totem on the seal would become dimmer."

   "After such a thousand years, the seal has reached a precarious situation."

   "And Patriarch Bodhidharma once said that the method of re-sealing Mara is hidden in these four verses."

   Speaking of this, Monk Zhenzhen stroked his beard, and the only remaining eye burst out: "I have been thinking about it for many years, and I think this gatha should be related to "Infinite Sealing Method"."

  'This heart is boundless! '

   Sure enough, it coincides with myself.

   Li Chen clasped his hands together and bowed deeply.

   "Amitabha."

   "The little monk did practice "Infinite Sealing Method" by chance and coincidence."

  As soon as these words came out, the three Zen masters Zhenzhen, Vacuum, and Zhenming were all excited.

   "As expected! As expected!"

  "Looking at the past, there are only two monks in the world who have learned the "Infinite Sealing Method"."

   "One is Patriarch Bodhidharma, and the second is Monk Liaokong."

   "Since Monk Kong became monk, the whereabouts of the "Infinite Sealing Method" have been unknown."
