After being beaten up by the black bear demon, Ananda immediately returned to Lingshan Mountain, intending to complain to the Buddha and let all the Buddhas see that the black bear demon was still a big pest with its vicious nature!
But unfortunately, the Buddha seemed to have known what had happened in advance, and he suddenly opened a forum and began to preach the Dharma, which lasted for several days!
With the roar of the guardian dragon, this grand Buddhist event finally came to an end.
The Buddha seems majestic yet kind, and all the Buddhas below must have gained something!
Then I saw a top-grade lotus pedestal sitting upright, as if the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara was above the nine heavens, with a peaceful and kind smile on her face:
"The Buddha's explanation of the seven emotions and six desires has given us a lot of benefits! Thank you Buddha for spreading the Dharma and clearing away all our karma!"
"Amitabha!"
"Thank you, Buddha! We have benefited a lot from it."
Many Buddhas came to pay homage and express their gratitude.
The Buddha smiled:
"You all know the consequences of the seven emotions and six desires, and you must avoid their causes. This trip to the east is a rare event in Lingshan. Buddhas, please take this opportunity to spread the Dharma and avoid unnecessary complications."
"I will obey the command of the Buddha!"
"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Buddha."
One after another, some Buddhas returned to their own temples. Bodhisattva Guanyin was about to ride on a cloud to go to the Purple Bamboo Forest, but at this moment, a scream was heard from outside the palace!
“Ah…Buddha Master, you still have to make the decision for your disciple!”
The shouting was heartfelt, as if he had suffered some great injustice. Ananda was seen wearing a white Buddhist robe stained with Buddha's blood, and running into the palace from outside in two steps!
"Buddha, please drive this alien black bear demon out of the sacred mountain! Because this black bear demon is still vicious, Ananda only brought his fellow disciples to visit the black bear demon's younger disciple, but he didn't expect that he was not treated politely, but was beaten up instead. Please help me, Buddha!"
Ananda knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face. He was so sincere and heartbroken, as if he had really suffered a great injustice.
The Buddha, sitting on the throne, had a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything. He was not in a hurry to reply, but looked at the many Buddhas below with a smile.
However, many Buddhas were not in a hurry to redress Ananda’s grievances, but instead looked surprised!
"Amitabha, monks do not tell lies! Brother Ananda has already reached the highest level of cultivation. The black bear demon has only been in Lingshan for about a month, and he is probably just getting started in Buddhism. How could he beat up a Buddhist disciple?"
The Buddha's words, when heard by everyone present, triggered even more surprised expressions!
"Since the Black Bear Demon came to Lingshan, he has rarely appeared in the Lingshan Palace except when the Buddha was preaching! He has been living in seclusion in Xiaogushan Mountain, comprehending the Buddhist teachings... Could it be that this mere one month is equivalent to others' ten thousand years of practice?"
These Buddhas were so surprised that they had forgotten why Ananda came here!
Because Ananda is one of the most talented and insightful disciples under the Buddha. He has a very strong talent in practicing Buddhism and is very prestigious in Lingshan. He has been following the Buddha to learn for too long!
This led everyone to believe that Ananda was most likely the person to whom the Buddha would pass on his legacy!
I never thought that today I would be beaten to the point of having my bones broken and my robes stained with blood. What’s more, the person who came was actually my junior brother the Black Bear Demon, who had only been in Lingshan for less than a month?
Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara frowned slightly, seeming to find it difficult to understand what had happened to make Ananda so embarrassed!
"Ananda, did the black bear demon really do such a cruel thing to you? He beat you so hard that your bones were broken and your clothes were stained with blood!"
Ananda turned around and respectfully looked at his luggage, then responded:
"Master Guanyin, what Ananda said is true. Several Arhats and several fellow disciples saw it with their own eyes. How could this be false?"
Several Luohan stepped forward:
"Bodhisattva, what Ananda said is true. We saw it with our own eyes. The black bear spirit relied on its close relationship with the guardian dragon's nephew and used the guardian dragon's condensed weapon to beat my brother to pieces. Such a beast that does not follow filial piety and has not yet eliminated its vicious nature is simply wild and difficult to tame. Staying in Lingshan will only cause trouble."
"If that's the case, I'd like to meet this little junior brother you mentioned."
Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Buddha, why not invite the black bear demon to come and confront him in court? This way, the truth will be revealed."
The Buddha nodded slightly and looked at everything with a smile, showing his compassionate attitude to the fullest.
"That's good. Speaking of which, this little disciple has not appeared in front of me since he asked me for Buddhist teachings half a month ago. It seems that he has studied Buddhism diligently and has made great progress, but he must not go astray."
The Buddha waved his hand, and a golden eagle behind him flew into the sky. In the blink of an eye, it used the golden light escape technique and disappeared from the sight of many Buddhas!
In a short while, a golden auspicious cloud followed the golden eagle. After the black bear demon transformed, the evil spirit on his body had been completely suppressed by the Buddha's light. At this time, he was wearing white Buddhist robes, and the sleeves of his clothes fluttered in the wind. Many Buddhas looked up and felt that the one flying over was not a demon, but a Buddhist master with a strong physique and the shape of a furious Vajra.
The black bear demon landed on the hall, with a mysterious yellow aura emanating from his body. He strode to the center of the hall:
"Master, the Black Bear Demon comes to pay his respects to you!"
At this point, the black bear demon's eyes drifted to Ananda who was kneeling on the ground, and he couldn't help but frowning slightly.
"Ananda, why did you wait until now to cause trouble for me? I have been so nervous these past few days, afraid that the Buddha would be angry. I almost ran to the pawnshop of heaven and earth! Could it be that the Buddha doesn't want to take care of this matter?"
The Black Bear Demon has the Vairocana Tathagata cultivation method in his mind and is very powerful. Ordinary means cannot scare him. However, if he is detained in Lingshan, it will not only delay the Lord's important matters, but also make him unable to serve the Lord, which is a top priority in his eyes.
While he was thinking, a roar came from beside him!
"What a stubborn, vicious, and untamable black bear! How dare you beat up my brother without considering the relationship between fellow disciples? How can you be so unkind and unfilial? What crime should you be punished for?"
The black bear's expression changed suddenly, and he turned his head suddenly, and saw a furious Vajra statue, holding the Buddhist treasure Vajra, with a frown on his face, looking quite majestic!
The black bear demon wanted to argue, but then he heard the Buddha smile gently.
"You are such a good black bear demon. You are in Lingshan Mountain, but you don't accept the incense from Lingshan Mountain or listen to the sutras and teachings. Instead, you are obsessed with the incense from mortals and gather the Xuanhuang Qi. This makes this Buddha, your master, feel a little useless."
The Buddha is compassionate and will not question the black bear demon without distinguishing right from wrong just because of one person's one-sided statement. ?
