Chapter 308 Purifying the World White Lotus
Pure world white lotus and Tathagata golden bowl!
Even Su Cheng in his previous life had vaguely heard of these two instruments.
For example, the White Lotus of the Pure World can remind people of many things. From the perspective of classics or sect legends, the White Lotus of the Pure World is often associated with the "Mother of Lifeless".
That's what the Padma Sect is like!
The Lotus Sect, or "White Lotus Sect", regards the white lotus as a sacred object, and believes that the lifeless old mother is born from the white lotus.
From the perspective of the novel, it is inevitable that people will think of the "Twelve Grades of Pure World White Lotus" in Hong Huang's novels. However, this is not actually scientific.
Because since ancient times, China has counted nine as the pole.
And the lotus is the same.
Although there are different grades of lotus, both Taoism and Buddhism respect the "nine grade lotus". There is no such thing as "Twelve Grades".
Taoism has at most "nine-color lotus seals" and "nine-grade lotus seals", but there has never been any "twelve-grade lotus seals".
At the same time, there is a saying of "nine-step lotus flower". It is probably that after Laojun was born, he walked nine steps and gave birth to a lotus step by step.
Of course, this statement is very similar to the "seven-step birth lotus" born by Sakyamuni. However, different from what Sakyamuni said, the former comes from the classics, while the latter is not recorded in the Buddhist scriptures, and there is no allusion to the "seven-step lotus".
Judging from the "Lao Zi Hua Hu Jing", Shakyamuni is considered to be the incarnation or disciple of the Taishang Laojun. From this, it can be seen that the latter has similar statements, which is normal.
Of course, although Su Cheng is a Buddhist, generally speaking, orthodox Buddhism should resist the sayings in "Lao Zi Hua Hu Jing".
But what I have to admit is that at the beginning of the birth of Buddhism, Buddhism recognized the saying of "Lao Tzu Hua Hu", perhaps for the purpose of stabilizing its heels and preaching, or for other reasons, but "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing" was accepted in the early days. Both Buddhism and Taoism recognize this as a fact.
Therefore, from Liantiandao's point of view, "Lao Zi Hua Hu Jing" is well-founded.
But Buddhism is simpler and more straightforward. According to the Pure Land Sect: the so-called Nine Grades means that those who have completed their practice can go to the Western Paradise after death and sit on a lotus pedestal. The Ninth Grade Lotus Platform is the highest grade.
And these nine grades are: Vajra Terrace, Purple Gold Terrace, Golden Lotus Flower, Lotus Flower Terrace, Middle Grade Xiasheng Platform, Seven Treasure Lotus Flower, Precious Lotus Flower, Lotus Flower, and Golden Lotus Flower.
In other words, Nine Grades does not mean that the lotus has nine petals, but that there are nine kinds of lotus. The "Nine Grades Connected Terrace" where the Buddha sits is actually a "Golden Lotus". And the twelve-grade lotus platform in Hong Huang's novels... there is no such thing at all.
Of course, the saying about the Twelve Grades of Lotus Terraces is actually not from Honghuang novels, but from "Fengshen Yanyi".
In the Romance of Conferred Gods, during the Battle of Conferred Gods in the Shang Dynasty, a Taoist priest was captured by Taoist Zhunti, one of the two sages of the West.
The leading Taoist put Taoist Mosquito in a bag and handed it over to Boy Bailian to take care of it. And because Boy Bailian accidentally released Taoist Mosquito, the Holy Mother of Guiling, one of the four direct disciples of Jiejiao, was sucked to death by Taoist Mosquito.
After eating the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, the Mosquito Taoist flew to the Western Paradise to drink the spiritual treasure of the Western religion—the Twelve-Rank Merit Golden Lotus.
The twelfth-rank golden lotus was sucked by the Taoist Mosquito for three ranks, which caused the level of the twelfth-rank golden lotus to drop, and it turned into a ninth-rank golden lotus. Later, the Second Hierarch of the West broke the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation and came back, so he could take it in. The third-grade lotus platform was missing, and it was too late to regret.
However, this statement is obviously unreliable. There are many contradictions in "Feng Shen Yan Yi", some of them can be believed, but not all of them.
But in any case, Su Cheng learned from the Buddhist scriptures that the lotus flower, one of the nine symbols of Buddhism, also means in Taoism the achievement of a practitioner's experience in the evil world of five turbidities without being stained with excellence, which is of great significance.
This "White Lotus of Pure World" is definitely a very powerful magic weapon!
"Check out the introduction, and extract the Pure World White Lotus!"
[White Lotus of the Pure World: It is the most precious treasure of the Holy Mother of Lishan to transform into a fairy and become a Taoist. It contains the laws of the Taoist realm and has infinite magical effects. 】
With the introduction, a white lotus slowly appeared in front of Su Cheng's eyes in the void.
"Buzz..."
It seemed to be trembling in the void, this white lotus could be called "White Jade Flawless", floating in front of Su Cheng's eyes, it looked like a pink beauty, making people's eyes glamorous.
And the petals of this lotus flower are as many as ten thousand petals, they are extremely clean, one can't help but want to touch them, but they dare not play with them.
The lotus can be rotated by Su Cheng's mind at any time, or become bigger, or smaller, or change without reason, which is extremely impressive.
"This is the White Lotus of the Pure World, it has so many petals..."
Su Cheng was surprised, he rang the words in "Theory of Great Wisdom".
In "Great Wisdom Theory", it is said: There are three kinds of lotus: human flower, which has more than ten leaves. Smallpox, with shutters. Bodhisattva flowers have thousands of leaves.
And this "Pure World White Lotus" has ten thousand leaves! And it contains the purest light color, what does this represent?
Could it be that this world-purifying white lotus is a "Buddha flower" that surpasses Bodhisattva flowers?
If so, I am afraid that the value of this world-cleaning white lotus will be far higher than that of Jinlingbaozhuang and Luoshu!
Judging from the introduction, this lotus is the most precious treasure for the "Holy Mother of Lishan" to transform into a fairy and become a Taoist.
How could there be such a huge difference?
Su Cheng thought for a while, then put away the white lotus of the world, and continued to order: "Check the introduction of the 'Tathagata Golden Bowl' and extract it!"
[Tathagata Golden Bowl: The treasured Tathagata's magic weapon when he became a Buddha, which can collect all things, and can exert more powerful power according to the strength of the user. 】
"Sure enough, it really is the Tathagata Golden Bowl..."
Su Cheng couldn't help confirming. It seems that this golden bowl is much stronger than his previous one. It is not named "Tathagata", but a real golden bowl of Tathagata!
However, Duobao Tathagata...
Su Cheng paused for a moment, seeing an ordinary gold-plated bowl in front of her, she didn't say much.
This bowl is obviously on the same level as the "Golden Spirit Treasure Building", but it is still incomparable to the Jingshi Bailian.
Luoshu is also on the same level as the two.
So why is there a sign-in magic weapon that is obviously higher than the other three levels in the same place?
Could it be...
Su Cheng thought carefully.
According to "Fengshen Yanyi", the Holy Mother of Jinling, the Holy Mother of Guiling, the Holy Mother of Wudang and Taoist Duobao are the four major disciples of Jiejiao.
Although there are many contradictions in "Fengshen Yanyi", there are similar statements about this kind of argument in books such as "Jianfeng Chunqiu" and "Tongjian of Immortals of Past Dynasties".
In other words, this statement is still possible!
If this is really the dojo of Lingbao Tianzun, then the four treasures I got.
The Golden Spirit Tower is the magic weapon of the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit, the Luoshu comes from the Holy Mother of the Guiling, and the golden bowl of the Tathagata is obviously from the Daoist Duobao. Then, "Pure World White Lotus" should come from "Wu Dang Madonna".
Indeed, from "Western Records" and "Luojiao Jingjuan", it can be seen that "the old mother who governs the world without being a mother" is the Holy Mother of Lishan, that is, the ancestor of Luojiao, "the old mother without life".
She has the world-cleaning white lotus, so she is naturally very normal.
But these are not the point. The point is that, according to "Fengshen Yanyi", among the four disciples who cut off teaching, apart from Duobao Taoist who was tamed by the Taishang Laojun, there is only Wudang Virgin who survived the Battle of Conferred Gods. Escape and survive!
