Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1681 - I, the shadow demon, discuss the truth with the Buddha!

Gu Yang's fists were clenched until they bled, his face filled with endless regret and sorrow. He felt the pain as if he had personally killed his brother.

The feeling of being pricked by needles spread throughout his body, making him feel cold and stinging, filled with indescribable sadness.

"Brother, my good brother! It is I, your brother, who has harmed you!"

Gu Yang curled up on the ground, watching helplessly as the Dipankara Buddha took the Shadow Demon away as if catching a chick.

At that moment, Dipankara Buddha frowned slightly, his face showing a hint of indifference.

"Grand Marshal Gu Yang, if you still have any affection, then for the sake of your brother, please come and establish a truce agreement with my Western Paradise.

My Western Paradise comes with sincerity and will never break its word!"

As Dipankara Buddha spoke, his face was unmoved. As for whether he would break his word, it was not up to Dipankara Buddha to decide.

The Buddhas of Western Paradise always have a very flexible moral bottom line in their hearts. If it is to subdue demons, eliminate evil, and save all living beings, even if they make the greatest betrayal, even if they make the greatest sacrifice, it is worthy of being forgiven.

As long as the premise is not sacrificing their Western Paradise.

How could Gu Yang not know what Dipankara Buddha was thinking? After all, as far as Dipankara Buddha was concerned, as far as Western Paradise was concerned, they did not intend to talk about morality with the Demon Clan, otherwise Dipankara Buddha would not have appeared here.

Gu Yang stared at Dipankara Buddha, his voice like the frigid wind of the Arctic.

"You old bald donkey, if you dare to hurt my brother, I, Gu Yang, swear to the Demonic Path, that in this lifetime, I will lead a great army, trample the Great Thunderclap Temple, and wash the Spirit Mountain with blood!"

Dipankara Buddha was slightly startled by Gu Yang's gaze, which was filled with almost palpable killing intent. He was shocked in his heart, having never seen such a loyal and righteous member of the Demon Clan.

However, this was not enough to frighten Dipankara Buddha.

Dipankara Buddha waved his hand, and his hand became incomparably large, just like the Tathagata Buddha playing with Sun Wukong back then, and the Shadow Demon standing in it was like an ant.

Dipankara Buddha's voice was cold and indifferent.

"Shadow Demon, don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you just leap out of my palm, I will let you return to your own place."

Five hundred years ago, the five fingers turned into a mountain, teasing Sun Wukong.

Five hundred years later, Dipankara's palm, teasing the Shadow Demon!

Chu Hao: It seems like I'm involved every time, but this time I'm the protagonist…

Although that is the case, Chu Hao also very much wanted to break free from Dipankara Buddha's hand, but obviously, for the Shadow Demon's body, even at its peak, it would be difficult to escape the palm, let alone now that the Shadow Demon's body was greatly weakened.

Moreover, Dipankara Buddha was much stronger than the Tathagata Buddha. The Past Buddha was not to be trifled with, capable of seeing through the past and severing the ages!

The Shadow Demon was not Chu Hao's main body either, without the supreme and powerful physical body enhancement, he could not fully display the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow technique.

Therefore, for the Shadow Demon, everything was in vain.

Since it was in vain, Chu Hao simply acted a little more arrogantly.

The Shadow Demon stood generously in the palm of Dipankara Buddha, put his hands together, and said lightly:

"The palm is the Spirit Platform. People spend their entire lives unable to escape the seven emotions and six desires.

My heart is already a clear mirror, constantly wiping this body, never stained by the mortal world."

At this moment, Gu Yang, who was originally in remorse, was stunned. Were these the words of my Shadow Demon brother?

This, this, this, the Buddha would have to get up and give you his seat!

Gu Yang pondered it over carefully again and discovered that the Shadow Demon was not only talking about his own situation but also reminding Gu Yang that although he could not escape the seven emotions and six desires, he must always keep a clear mirror in his heart and strive for the revival of the Demon Clan for the rest of his life!

Gu Yang was stunned in place, but he didn't know why his Shadow Demon brother suddenly had such supreme enlightenment!

Not only was Gu Yang stunned, but Dipankara Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva and谛听 who arrived later were also stunned in place, not knowing what to say for a while.

How could there be such enlightenment in a demon in this world?!

Dipankara Buddha was especially shocked. He was the Buddha with the deepest Buddhist nature present, but when he heard that sentence from the Shadow Demon, he actually felt as if he was listening to a great bell, and he was somewhat immersed in it for a time.

From the Shadow Demon's words, Dipankara Buddha seemed to hear the Shadow Demon's rebuke of himself. He was rebuking himself for betraying faith, betraying goodness, and obscuring his Buddhist heart!

Dipankara Buddha narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of anger appeared in his heart.

How dare a small demon also discuss the Dharma with him? He also deserves it! He doesn't even know how much sacrifice he has made for the living beings of the Three Realms!

What qualifications do they, the Demon Clan, have to ask Western Paradise to talk about morality!

Dipankara Buddha lowered his eyes to look at the Shadow Demon and said coldly:

"You little demon, you dare to talk about scriptures and discuss the Dao in front of this old monk, well, since you want to talk, this old monk will accompany you. You only know the clear mirror in your heart, but you don't know the darkness of the world!

This old monk's body is the Bodhi tree, and this old monk's heart is like a bright mirror platform. The Three Realms, the Six Paths, the mortal world, cannot stain this old monk in the slightest!"

Dipankara Buddha's words were not random, his so-called self being like the Bodhi tree refers to when Sakyamuni Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree back then.

And saying that his heart is like a bright mirror platform is the first public case of Zen Buddhism's mind-to-mind transmission, using an allusion.

By saying this, he wanted to tell the Shadow Demon what the Dharma is, I am the Dharma!

We Western Paradise are the Dharma!

It's all about profound attainments in the Dharma!

Gu Yang, in the Avici Hell, listened with his ears scratching and cheeks twitching, gnashing his teeth.

He also heard the arrogance in Dipankara Buddha's words, but for Gu Yang, it seemed that he had no way to respond except to curse in the streets.

Gu Yang was anxious.

But Dipankara Buddha was still condescending, looking down on the Shadow Demon.

Talking about the Dharma with me, a dignified Past Buddha? How can you, a demon, be worthy!

However, the Shadow Demon was too lazy to even raise his eyelids to look at Dipankara Buddha, and just said lightly:

"Buddha Dipankara, you keep saying demon, and you keep saying unworthy, but have you not heard that all living beings are equal, what exactly is the difference between a demon and a Buddha?

You only say that you are the Bodhi tree, and you are the bright mirror, but have you not heard:

Bodhi originally has no tree, the bright mirror is also not a stand, originally there is nothing, where does dust come from!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent!

Dipankara Buddha widened his eyes, and his whole person was stunned in place.

Guanyin Bodhisattva and谛听 were even more shocked and retreated repeatedly, looking at the Shadow Demon with eyes as if they had seen a ghost.

No one could have imagined that such supreme wonderful words would actually be spoken by a demon?!
