Chapter 15 Apocalyptic Era - 2
"Qingli, when it comes to the Dharma-Ending Age, the master has an allusion here to tell you." Qingli's seriousness made the masters very pleased. The monks looked at each other and decided to tell Qingli a story:
Our teacher, Shakyamuni Buddha, was alive and preached for forty-nine years. All those who deserve to be saved were saved. The devil king Pazun felt very uncomfortable when he saw Shakyamuni Buddha saving many people. He came to see the Buddha and asked the Buddha to quickly become nirvana: "You have saved so many people and you can become nirvana."
The Buddha realized that his fate with all living beings in the Saha world had come, so he agreed to Mara's request.
The devil king Pashun said: "After you are nirvana, I must destroy your Dharma."
The Buddha said: "Buddha is the Dharma, and there is no power to destroy it."
The devil king Marun said: "Justice will last forever, and evil will not disappear. When you were alive, not everyone believed in you. Don't I have many disciples? Human nature is evil, and it is easy to learn bad things and hard to learn good things. After you die, fewer and fewer people will believe in you, and more and more people will believe in me."
The Buddha said, "It is not good for you to destroy my Dharma. The Buddha's light is the light of the illumination, shining on the kind people and the evil people like you. If the Dharma Age is over, your blessings will be over, and what awaits you is the Avici Hell, and you will suffer countless sufferings in hell."
The devil king, Marun, said: "I know that Buddha does not lie, but Buddha, you also know that fate is created by the heart. I will try to avoid the suffering of hell."
The Buddha said: "If you do unrighteous things, you will die by yourself. How can you avoid it?"
The devil king Besun said: "The saints have no permanence and take the hearts of the people as their hearts. Besun also has no permanence and takes the hearts of the people as their hearts. In terms of adapting to the people, Buddha, you are not as good as me. You have strict precepts and strongly emphasize the harm of greed, so that people can stay away from greed. I follow the desires of the people and satisfy the desires of the people. Where can I, Besun, do you have no greed in sentient beings?"
The Buddha said: "I have Buddhist scriptures left in the world."
Demon King Pa Xun: "The classics are dead words. To educate sentient beings, people still need to explain them."
The Buddha said: "I have the treasures of monks left in the world."
Demon King Pa Xun: "If you want to educate sentient beings, you must introduce new people. You will not refuse my disciples to accept your teachings."
Buddha said: "No."
The devil king Marun said: "In your Dharma-Ending Age, I asked my disciples to mix into your monk treasure, wear your cassock, and destroy your Buddhist teachings. I misinterpret your scriptures and destroy your precepts to achieve the goal that I cannot achieve with my force today..."
After hearing the Demon King's words, the Buddha was speechless for a long time. After a while, two lines of hot tears slowly flowed down. Seeing this, the Demon King led the crowd to laugh and leave.
After the story was finished, the masters' expressions were a little depressed.
"Masters, this story sounds so uncomfortable." Qing Li felt sad.
"Qingli, our Buddhism is divided into four periods, namely: the Dharma period, the Dharma period, the Dharma period, the Dharma period, the Dharma period, the Dharma period, the Dharma period, the Dharma period, the Dharma period, the Dharma period, the Dharma period after the Buddha Shakyamuni entered the destruction, five hundred years was the Dharma period; another five hundred years was the Dharma period, and then the Dharma period was the Dharma period. Now is the Dharma period, the Dharma period, and the Dharma period is in the world. Although people have the teachings, they cannot practice and attain the fruit." The masters explained in detail, hoping that Qingli could understand more about Buddhism.
"Master, will we encounter many problems in the Dharma-Ending Age? I always feel that we need to do something now." Qing Li suddenly felt a feeling of protecting justice.
"Qingli, in the Dharma-Ending Age, we need to turn the Dharma-Ending Age into the Dharma-Ending Age and protect our Dharma-Ending." When the masters mentioned the Dharma-Ending Age, their eyes were shining and bright.
