Chapter 22 life three

Ksitigarbha didn't speak yet, only listening to Diting said: "I, Ting of Creation." Di Ting's voice was extremely dull, as if it came from the bottom of the earth. Not only Wukong was surprised, but Ksitigarbha also showed surprise, and said to Wukong, "Do you know how many years he hasn't spoken?" Wukong shook his head naturally, he didn't care how many years he didn't speak, and asked anxiously: "The Ting of Creation? What is that?" Ksitigarbha said: "Listen to the sound of all creation." Wukong was silent for a while, he knew that listening to the truth can reach up to thirty-six heavens and go down to the abyss of nine seclusions, which is already an extremely remarkable ability.All the sounds of creation, isn't it true that all the sounds in this world can't escape the ears of listening?

Ksitigarbha knew what Wukong was thinking, and said, "Although he can hear it everywhere, there is only one true listener." Wukong understood instantly, how many major events happened in this world in an instant, although Di Ting is very good at listening, but he only has one heart, even if he listens all day long, how much can he hear?But this is enough to envy people, if this ability is given to myself... Be darling, how can there be any secrets that can escape my ears? Wukong recalled the wonderful feeling just now, and said: "What is the origin of Di Ting, and what is the relationship with the god ape?"

Ksitigarbha said: "He is the vein of Pangu, and he has some relationship with the god ape." Wukong remembered that Kunpeng said that the essence of good fortune is divided into nine, Pangu has three, Kunpeng has two, seven gods and apes have one, and the rest are scattered between heaven and earth. Listening to the truth is the pulse of Pangu, so it is also the essence of good fortune No wonder it was so similar to the feeling of meeting Kunpeng. The Ksitigarbha King said again: "After Pangu opened the sky, his body and the earth became one, and they have never been separated since then. He is the earth, and the earth is him. But he has three extraordinary abilities, which have been passed on to three people. One of them , is the hearing of creation.”

Wukong asked: "Why is it only passed on to Di Ting? Is there any reason here?" Ksitigarbha shook his head and said, "I don't know about that." Wukong said: "Then what are the other two abilities?" Ksitigarbha said: "One is the purpose of good fortune, and the other is the judgment of good fortune." Good luck?Good fortune?What is this? Wukong thought for a while and said, "The eye of good fortune, but can you see all creation?" Ksitigarbha nodded and said, "Exactly." Wukong shook his head and said: "The Seven God Apes have this ability, is this also the purpose of good fortune?"

Ksitigarbha laughed and said, "What you see are all small creations, and you cannot see the great creations." Wukong asked: "Then what is the great good fortune, and how can we see it?" Ksitigarbha laughed and said, "There is no distinction between good fortune and good fortune, but what you see is the good fortune of a fruit, a leaf, and a person. If you practice the eyes of good fortune, you will be able to see the good fortune of the heaven and the earth. Naturally, it will be very different." "What? The Eye of Creation can be practiced the day after tomorrow?" Wukong asked in surprise.

Ksitigarbha was also a little surprised, and said, "Aren't you practicing?" ah?Wukong was surprised one after another, and said in surprise: "Could it be - the secret of Xuankong method?" Ksitigarbha said: "Exactly!" "The purpose of inheriting good fortune is the Nine Heavens Profound Girl." Ksitigarbha nodded in agreement.Wukong knew that the secret of Xuankong method is indeed a great ability, no matter in the mouth of Dayu and others or Sanqing, they all highly respected this method. The formula is realized from the eyes of nature. Wukong asked again: "Is there a way to practice the listening of good fortune?"

The Ksitigarbha King shook his head and said, "Only the eyes of good fortune can be practiced according to the formula. The hearing of good fortune and the judgment of good fortune are not acceptable. You are the god of good fortune, and you have the essence of good fortune in you, so you can practice it well." For the purpose of good fortune, others still can't do it." Wukong said: "No, this formula was passed on to me by Erlang God Yang Jian..." "Yang Jian only stops at the second level, and he will never learn the rest." Ksitigarbha added, "Never learn."

Wukong blurted out: "How do you know?" "Because I am the judge of good fortune." Ksitigarbha said calmly. Wukong has long been familiar with the strangeness, and he was too surprised today.I remember that Houtu once said that the best way to distinguish between good and evil, wise and foolish is to listen carefully. Since he recognized Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva as the master, he naturally believed that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is the most virtuous and virtuous person in the world. Now it seems that Ksitigarbha is the one who can distinguish good from evil, virtuous and foolish, not Di Ting, who follows Ksitigarbha, perhaps because both of them have inherited Pangu's good fortune.

"What is the use of the Judgment of Creation?" Wukong asked. The Ksitigarbha King replied: "Adhering to good fortune and not moving one's heart, one can distinguish between good and evil in the world." Wukong asked again: "Then why do you only save people here?" "If people are kind, everything is good." Ksitigarbha said. Wukong asked again: "Then am I good or evil?" "There is no good or evil in nature. From my point of view, you are naturally good." Wukong didn't understand, and said: "There is no good or evil, why am I good?"

"Because of my heart of creation, you and I have the same origin, so it is naturally good." Wukong understood that since Ksitigarbha is good, so is Di Ting, and Nine Heavens Xuannv is also good.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel relieved, the battle between heaven and earth is already complicated enough, if Nine Heavens Profound Girl makes any secret moves, it will really mess up. Wukong thought of the Boundless Stream and asked, "Why is the Buddha originally the Tao?" Ksitigarbha took a look at Wukong and said, "The Buddha is the Tao, there is no other."

"Is Tathagata a Taoist? Is Buddhism Taoism? Or what?" "Both, it's Buddha and Tao, it's just a title, what's the difference?" Ksitigarbha said. "What exactly is the heavenly court going to do, and what is the Tathagata going to do?" Wukong asked. "We all have to live." "Is Huiyuan's calamity true or false?" "Naturally it is true." "Is it man-made or the law of heaven and earth?" Ksitigarbha laughed and said, "This question is too difficult, and Pan Gu doesn't know." Wukong usually has countless questions, but when he came to Ksitigarbha, he didn't know what to ask for a while.Ksitigarbha knew what Wukong was thinking, so he was not in a hurry, just looked at him with a smile. Wukong only thought about the present, and asked: "What is the mystery of the Zimu River, and who did it?" Ksitigarbha said: "Look along the river." Wukong slapped his thigh, how could he be so stupid, he entered the Zimu River earlier, and wanted to go upstream to find the source, but unexpectedly saw the fetus of good fortune, he changed his mind and ran to the underworld. Wukong asked again: "When will the struggle in the world stop?" Ksitigarbha said: "No one knows what will happen in the future." Wukong was still waiting to ask a question, but Ksitigarbha stopped him and said, "Wukong, the general situation is only tied to you, so what's the use of asking others?" "It's not fast if you don't ask." Then he asked, "Why does the Bodhisattva set up a boundless stream to hinder him?" Ksitigarbha said: "I don't want to see the struggle between the heaven and the earth, and I don't want to learn from the scriptures." "Oh? Why don't you want to see what you learn from it?" Ksitigarbha shook his head: "If you don't want to, you just don't want to." Wukong said: "You don't know the reason?" King Ksitigarbha said: "I really don't know, but I always feel that if the scriptures are learned, the world will change." Wukong said: "Even if Buddhism spreads to the east, it will not change the world." Ksitigarbha shook his head again and said, "That's not the case. Every time you go west, I feel a little sad." Wukong really couldn't understand, every foot of the people who dared to learn from the scriptures stepped on the heart of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.Wukong said with a smile: "Bodhisattva, you said that no one knows what will happen in the future. I think it's because you are too worried." King Ksitigarbha said: "The future is still to come, so I dare not speak falsely." Wukong said: "But what should I do, shall I go to learn scriptures later?" Ksitigarbha said: "Follow the trend, I will never interfere again." Wukong secretly kept the words of Ksitigarbha King in his heart. Since Ksitigarbha had inherited Pangu's good fortune, he would not speak casually.He said that he was saddened by the westward travel of Buddhist scriptures. Although he did not know the reason, there was always a reason for it.It's just that learning from the scriptures must not be abandoned halfway. Wukong thought about the past, and the fact that Avalokitesvara changed sides made him feel a little strange. He didn't know if Ksitigarbha knew about it, so he asked, "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was very close to Buddha from the East in the beginning?" Ksitigarbha nodded. "Then why did she vote for Tathagata again?" Ksitigarbha King was slightly surprised: "You actually know about this?" Wukong said: "It's just speculation, but I don't know what's inside." When Ksitigarbha came one by one, Wukong was stunned when he heard it. He didn't expect there to be such an undercurrent. It's really unpredictable. When mentioning things in Buddhism, Wukong naturally thought of himself as Nagarjuna Bodhisattva, and said, "I was Nagarjuna Bodhisattva in my previous life?" Ksitigarbha smiled and said, "You were very close to me in your previous life, but now you don't remember anything?" Wukong was ashamed and said: "I really don't remember at all." "Then how do you know that you are Nagarjuna?" Wukong smiled and said: "This is a trick from Laojun, it's not what I thought of." Ksitigarbha smiled and said, "Good method." Wukong asked again, "What did Nagarjuna do?" King Ksitigarbha said: "Narjuna is extremely intelligent, his Dharma is profound, and his theory of emptiness is unparalleled in the world, especially his 'way of the original mind' coincides with the way of good fortune, even I admire it very much." Wukong said: "If you don't lose your original mind, you can make people not lose your original mind. I still follow this way in this life." Ksitigarbha King cocked his thumb and said: "All dharmas come to one, this principle is not wrong. Longshu is determined to spread the Buddhadharma to the world. His understanding of the Buddhadharma directly shames the Tathagata who ruled the world, but apart from Nagarjuna, It is also difficult for others to do this. "In the early years, there was no such thing as Buddhism in the eastern lands. It was Nagarjuna who, with the power of one person, stopped every step and stopped three times, barefooted and clothed, and spread the Dharma all over the world outside Xiniu Hezhou with one sentence. Only then can Buddhism have the potential to rival Taoism." Wukong was puzzled and said: "Narjuna has such great achievements, why didn't Buddhism stop others from killing him?" Ksitigarbha sighed and said, "Maybe I can't stop it, or maybe... I don't want to stop it." "Then who killed Nagarjuna?"
