Devadatta looked at his cousin, Siddhartha Gautama, sitting between the twin Sala Trees in Bana City. His face was lonely as he sat cross-legged in front of the Gautama Buddha. After Sakya Mani, Devadatta was the most intelligent and talented person among the many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who were reincarnated with Buddha into the mortal world.
Even the four great Bodhisattvas like Samantabhadra and Manjushri would find it hard to break through the Realm of Truth and enter the lowest level of the Three Realms' Dimensional Entanglement. Outside of Brahma, they would be able to see Brahma and confront Buddha Tathagata in Brahma.
Only Devadatta could come into contact with the realm of Reality. He was just one step away from breaking through all nothingness and entering the highest realm of Colorless Dhyana, escaping into the Three Realms of Anapanjana and Anapanjana to lend Rulai a hand. However, when he told Sakya, Mani, and the other disciples about this, he was unanimously opposed.
Sariputta had even used Sakya Mani's last words to forbid him from searching for the place where Sakya Mani's consciousness had gone after entering meditation.
However, Devadatta was the number one person in the Buddhist Sect, second only to the Gautama Buddha. He had many followers. Even in the Great Leiyin Temple of Spirited Mountain, Devadatta was the leader of the Eight Great Protectors. Even the four Great Bodhisattvas and the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva could only lead the Garuda Tribe, but Devadatta could lead an entire tribe by himself.
A beautiful and dignified monk quietly came behind him. Devadatta didn't even open his eyes and said, "Ananda, do you still want to persuade me? Outside the Colorless Realm, the Revered One of the Revered One of the World's Beyond Heavens — Brahman, yet you don't allow me to help. Are you afraid that I will obtain enlightenment from the Revered One and destroy the nonsense of Shariputra and Subhuti? "
Ananda stooped down and touched Devadatta's feet. He said respectfully, "Brother, in the past, Buddha and the Jade Emperor had a discussion. We asked the Sky Bearing Empire to follow the example of the Houtu Emperor and give up samsara. You once objected angrily, saying that the Six Paths of Reincarnation's division of good and evil is not the right path. All living beings arise from fate and perish because of fate. Everything is impermanent. Every reincarnation should be a brand new individual. I don't want to bring the troubles of my previous life to the future. "
"Great Monarch Houtu is selfless and selfless. She sees the living beings as nothing but dogs. That is the most benevolent heart, far surpassing the Six Paths Reincarnation."
"The Revered One of the Revered One of the Revered One of the Revered One of His Majesty's Dipankara Ancient Buddha was annihilated, seizing the four protectors of the Celestial Being, Asura, Kinnara, and Dragon Tribes. Only after he was reborn with the Biji Buddha did he bestow the Kinnara and Dragon Tribes to him. Later on, before the Three Hundred Tribulations, the Revered One of the World discussed with the Jade Emperor to set up the net of karma so that all living beings would be rewarded for their good and evil deeds. You spoke out against it, saying that all living beings are impermanent, therefore they are sorrowful and suffering. Being able to give birth to a transcendent heart is the first cause of the Four Wonderful Truths. Therefore, opportunities are impermanent, karma is impermanent, and there is no such thing as karma. "
"The Revered One of the World took away your Dragon Tribe's Protector as punishment."
"Now that Manjushri and Samantabhadra have obtained scriptures from the Outer World Cult Master, they want to set up the karmic retribution of good and evil in order to promote the Bodhisattva Hammer and the path of Mahayana. They want to open up the Pure Land to enlighten all living beings. Shariputra, Subhuti, and the rest agreed. You scolded them in front of them, saying that the Pure Land is an external path and that reincarnation can't save all living beings. There are only three seals, impermanence, anatta, and nirvana. To transcend the sea of suffering. "
Devadatta finally opened his eyes and stared at Ah Nan angrily.
"The mind is free from the mind, free from worries, free from thoughts, free from desires, free from desires, free from desires, no gain, no life, Bodhi, all illusions are complete, there is no coming nor going, the nature of life and death is real, there is no life and no death, the mind shows the Tripitaka, the Tripitaka is silent, called nirvana, this is the right path of enlightenment. The Dharma can only enlighten oneself, not others. Sakya Mani is an enlightened being, not a deity. "
"The three subtleties and three bodhi of Amudra do not seek external help, nor do they seek Bodhisattva's help. Instead, they seek inward and learn Buddhism. The other side of the Sea of Bitterness, with the enlightenment of Sakya Mani, was like a bright lamp in the Sea of Bitterness, illuminating the path ahead, but he could not help. To guide people to the Nirvana Realm boat, is to rely on one's own heart and strength. Nowadays, some people say that the wisdom of Sakya Mani is like the golden bridge on the sea of bitterness. The Nirvana Realm is not in the silence of Nirvana, but in the Three Realms and the Pure Land. This is the saying of the Heterodox Demons. "
"The Three Realms is a sea of bitterness, and the Pure Land is also a sea of bitterness. Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and deceiving all living beings use the Pure Land of the Sea of Bitterness as the shore of the Paramita. Only by not being able to attain enlightenment and not knowing Nirvana can one transcend the troubles. What an evil demon! "
"The karma of samsara, the cause and effect of good and evil are constant, not impermanent. The Bodhisattva Hammer and the Great Vehicle of Salvation say that there is self, not non-self. The Pure Land and the Land of Ultimate Bliss say that there is Paramita, not Nirvana." Devadatta opened his eyes wide and shouted angrily, "Isn't that against the Three Seals? Using the words of Gods and Buddhas to deceive all living beings in the Three Realms. Bodhisattvas should be killed! "
"The words of the Revered One of the World. In addition to the Three Seals, there is also the Seal of Reality! "Ananda explained.
"Who is the Revered One?" Devadatta asked indifferently, "Is it Buddha Tathagata or Sakya Mani? Or Gautama Siddhartha? "Ananda exclaimed in shock," Devadatta! Do you doubt Buddha? "
"A thousand tribulations ago, the Revered One of the World preached to me. He once said, 'If you obtain the Buddha's Seal, you will be unobstructed. If you obtain the King's Seal, there will be no difficulties. Even if it is not what the Revered One of the World has said, those who have obtained the Three Dharma Seals can also be regarded as Buddha's words. Even if it is Buddha's words, those who violate the Three Dharma Seals are also heretical! "Devadatta said calmly," This is my Revered One of the World! "
"After I was demoted from the position of Dipankara Ancient Buddha, I was once disheartened. I meditated on the three tribulations and wanted to undergo nirvana and perish, following the venerable of the world. Finally, in meditation, he thoroughly understood that the Revered One of the World was the one who had attained the truth of the world. He was Sakya Mani. Before a thousand tribulations, the Revered One was still the Revered One. After a thousand tribulations, Tathagata was no longer the Revered One. Gods are not Buddhas! "
"Buddha is an enlightened one, not a god, nor can he enlighten people! Today's Buddha Tathagata is the Buddha's troubles, the manifestation of your troubles. It is the Buddha in the hearts of all living beings, but it is not my Buddha. It is a devil! "
"Devadatta!" Ananda stood up in shock and said, "Are you going to betray Buddha?"
"Ananda!" Devadatta smiled and said, "My younger brother, after I understood this principle, my meditation was shaken. When I became an ancient Buddha, I could already meditate to the four skies and beyond the Colorless Realm to see the truth of the world. After my meditation was shaken, I was trapped in the Colorless Realm. Now that the Extraterrestrial Evil Demon, Brahman, is attacking, I can finally verify whether Buddha Tathagata is the Revered One of the World! "
"If Buddha Tathagata is close to Brahman, then Buddha Tathagata is an unorthodox evil demon. The Revered One of the troubles of becoming Buddha. If Buddha Tathagata is not Brahman, then I will die in Nirvana and leave in peace," Devadatta smiled and said to Ananda.
Behind him, five hundred Buddhas and three thousand Guardians of Dharma Kinnara walked out. They were all his followers. The ancient Buddhas of Spirited Mountain were now led by Biji Buddha. They sat around Gautama Siddhartha and Devadatta, watching the result of his meditation to find Buddha. There were three thousand Buddhas in Spirited Mountain, and each of them was different. In the past, there were a thousand Buddhas in the ancient Buddhas. After Dipankara fell, three hundred of them left. After being reprimanded by the Buddhas, another two hundred of them left. Now there were only five hundred Biji Buddhas.
Under the Withering and Flourishing Trees, Devadatta died and went to the Anisattva Heaven.
Ananda's meditation was shaken. He looked at Devadatta's corpse in shock. After a day and night, Ananda saw Devadatta's corpse open his eyes and shed tears of blood. Biji Buddha Kinnara descended from the sky. He cried out three times in grief and laughed crazily. He shouted, "The Revered One of the World is dead. Buddhas, follow me to destroy Spirited Mountain! "
"All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are evil followers. Only Impermanence can awaken one's heart and make one realize Righteousness."
"I want all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to sink into the sea of bitterness. Spirited Mountain and pure land become, exist, and disappear. All Buddhas are impermanent, good and evil are impermanent, cause and effect are impermanent. Follow me, follow me to break the Six Realms and confuse good and evil. Turn into an external evil and set up a trial for Buddhas! "
"The Righteous Dharma is dead and the unorthodox path is rampant. The Final Trial is impossible. I am the Lawless Heaven! "
