Chapter 223: Fa-ming Tathagata
The jade pieces are first-class in material, and the craftsmanship of carving and polishing is even better.
Save the suffering and the suffering, and the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva holds the jade bottle in one hand and pinches the seal with the other hand. A tear drop is hanging under his closed eyes, as if he can't bear to see the sufferings in the world.
The lotus platform under the Bodhisattva's feet is also very interesting. The nine flowers and twelve petals are the Vajra Platform that is born in the top grade of Buddhism, which is the highest level of the ninth grade lotus platform.
According to normal circumstances, only Buddhas can use the ninth-grade lotus platform.
Although Guanyin Bodhisattva has many believers, his status is far inferior to that of the Buddha. At most, the seventh-grade lotus platform will reach its peak.
"It's a pity that I made a common sense mistake."
Xu Long muttered.
Generally, people who buy this kind of Buddha statue have some understanding of Buddhism.
A Bodhisattva sits on a ninth-grade lotus platform that only belongs to the Buddha. This is no longer a matter of disrespect, but a crime.
Anyone who believes in religion has a slave in his heart.
It is absolutely unacceptable to commit such a thing below.
But this is not reasonable, because only a few people know how to do it, and just looking at the exquisiteness of those who don’t know how to do it is enough to be moved.
"Is it possible..."
Xu Long thought about it, then reached out and pointed it on his eyes.
Sure enough, as Xu Long suppressed the power in his eyes, the Guanyin jade piece immediately became ragged.
"Damn, I'm a special person who cheats myself!"
Xu Long's body is too strong, and his eyes can naturally see things that ordinary people cannot see.
This jade piece was covered by a ragged appearance, and ordinary people thought it was garbage, but Xu Long could see its true form.
"It's good, I've got a leak."
Xu Long played with the jade pieces, and then asked the boss: "How much does this cost?"
"I don't ask you for more, 80,000!"
The boss glanced at him and spoke directly.
"Good guy, you have to spend 80,000 yuan on a piece of broken jade? Are you crazy about being poor?"
Xu Long murmured, he didn't care about the 80,000 silver dollars, but the amount was too large and he couldn't carry it with him.
Xu Long thought about it and decided to bargain.
Before he could speak, the boss had already made a offer to another person.
"I don't ask you for more, 80,000!"
When Xu Long heard the boss's words, he suddenly realized.
The boss only had 80,000 yuan when he opened his mouth, but he sold 80,000 yuan. He probably got crazy because he lost his mind.
Too lazy to pay attention to him, Xu Long put the jade piece into his pocket, threw a piece of silver dollar, turned around and left.
There are many kinds of things in the antique market, ranging from bells, tripods, car drums, small ones to ear-drawing spoons, nail clippers, and a wide range of things.
There is only unexpected thoughts, no unseen.
However, Xu Long walked around and found that the oldest person in most stalls was the owner of the stall.
Except for that Guanyin jade piece, Xu Long can be said to have gained nothing.
Sighing helplessly, Xu Long planned to go back and study Guanyin jade pieces.
"Young Master, I see that your Yin Tang is black and your eyes are unsightly, which is a sign of great danger!"
An old voice came from the side, attracting Xu Long's attention.
Turning his head and looking, he found that it was an old man in his fifties.
His hair was gray and his face was rosy. He held a compass in his left hand and a whisk in his right hand.
There are two flags standing behind him, writing "The future, marriage and the aftermath" while writing "The iron mouth is cut off from the half-immortal".
This style looks quite intimidating.
"Is there a sign of great danger?"
Xu Long was so happy that this man really caught the snake and hit the dragon. He actually said that he had a bad omen.
With his strength, what kind of evil dares to come?
"Tell me!"
Xu Long pulled the stool next to him and placed it under his butt.
"Young Master's body is surrounded by yin energy and evil energy soars into the sky. I'm afraid it will cause something you shouldn't have to mess with. There will be disasters within three days. It's better for me to deal with it for you to save the disaster."
The old man said it very well, if it were someone else, he would believe it.
However, hearing Xu Long's ears was a pure joke.
"Disaster? Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. I am doing it right and straightforward. What kind of disaster dares to come to me?"
He snorted disdainfully, Xu Long stopped talking nonsense to him.
This old man had a faint yin energy on his body, and he must have practiced some magic.
As for Taoism, even that stupid little loli can't beat it.
Just this kind of thing, even if he stood up, he couldn't beat Xu Long.
After returning to Lai's house, Xu Long closed the door and began to study the jade piece.
A Bodhisattva has a nine-grade lotus platform under his feet.
Even if the carving master is not good at it, he will not make such a mistake.
And looking at the carving and craftsmanship, we must have a very deep understanding of the Bodhisattva, and it is even more impossible to make such common sense mistakes.
"Wait, Guanyin Bodhisattva... Guanyin... Bodhisattva..."
Xu Long murmured, and he suddenly remembered something, something related to Guanyin Bodhisattva.
In Buddhism, the most special thing is not the present Buddha Tathagata, nor the past Buddha’s lamp, the future Buddha Maitreya, nor is it the Ksitigarbha King who is reluctant to leave in the underworld, but the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.
In addition to the title of Guanyin, he also has another name, Tathagata of the Dharma.
Since the Tathagata is a Buddha, the Buddha is a Tathagata.
The Tathagata is also called the Buddha of Dharma.
In the past, Guanyin Bodhisattva was the Buddha of the Dharma. Because he saw that sentient beings were suffering, he regressed his cultivation and returned to the world to save the world.
There is also a saying that it is to reincarnate and re-cultivate the Buddha's body.
However, the question is, why can the more powerful Buddhas of the Dharma, not save the world?
Can you not be able to return to the human world after becoming a Buddha? Or should you completely abandon the seven emotions and six desires after becoming a Buddha?
Xu Long didn't know why, but he could explain why Guanyin Bodhisattva stepped on the ninth-grade lotus platform.
This sculptor is not without common sense, but rather a person with a deep understanding of Buddhism.
"This thing...can there be a world inside..."
Xu Long observed carefully and even turned on the microscope, but still couldn't see any clues.
After thinking for a while, Xu Long decided to try it with his mind.
The invisible energy turned into silk threads and slowly approached. When it touched the Guanyin jade piece, Xu Long's consciousness was instantly sucked in.
The sun is gentle and the breeze is gentle. A lush tree swings slightly with the wind.
Under the big tree, a figure sat cross-legged, with his hands crossed between his legs.
I can't see clearly, nor can I see my gender clearly, and only a gentle breath permeates the surroundings.
Cooperating with the lush trees behind him, Xu Long's originally a little impetuous heart slowly calmed down.
"I'm here Xu Long, I dare to ask for the title of senior."
Xu Long held his fist with his left hand and gave a respectful salute.
However, the figure under the tree seemed to have heard nothing, and was still sitting there steadily.
"I'm here Xu Long, I dare to ask for the title of senior."
I asked again, but the other party still didn't respond.
Xu Long frowned and walked over.
