"No, haven't you heard the story?"
Liu Zixia looked at the people in front of him speechless and decided to ask again.
Even if the Buddhist and Taoist classics in this world are missing, it's not like this, is it?
"No!" Li Mengyi and Zhao Lingjing shook their heads blankly.
Even the two little guys in Li Mengyi's and Cheng Siqi's arms blink their big eyes and stare at Liu Zixia, as if they want to hear the story.
"Zixia, tell us about it quickly. Don't hide it!" Cheng Siqi is still as impatient as ever.
"Well, there's nothing to do now. I'll tell you about it!" Liu Zixia nodded and said, "the word" cutting meat to feed Eagles "comes from a classic Buddhist story.
It is said that a long time ago, there was a king of sapoda who cared for all living beings and was merciful.
King sapoda is always good at Dharma. Whenever his people ask for something from him, he can always listen attentively after observing the people's situation, and then spare no effort to meet the needs of his people.
One day, Shi Tianwang, the God of Buddhism, felt that his life was coming to an end, and he was a little sad.
At this time, all the heavenly dragons and ghosts saw the emperor's strange appearance and asked one after another, "Why are you looking sad, heavenly king?"
"My life is coming to an end, and the signs of death are beginning to appear. Now, the Dharma has declined. If there is no benevolent Bodhisattva to live in the world, I don't know where the Dharma should go in the future, so I'm worried... "
"Wait a minute!"
Liu Zixia was about to work hard when Lang Wenxing interrupted him and asked, "who is this emperor Shi Tianwang? Why didn't I see this one in the temple? "
Interest was interrupted, Liu Zixia said: "what don't understand, can't wait for me to finish, star brother you ask?"
"No, I don't know who it is. If you tell me like this, I can't understand the story." Lang Wenxing laughed bitterly.
"That... I know emperor Shitian Wang!" At this time, Zhao Lingjing raised her hand timidly.
Cheng Siqi and Li Mengyi look at her together.
It seems that they do not know who the master is.
"My mother is a devout Buddhist."
Zhao Lingjing continued: "in earlier years, I once heard him talk about the god Buddha of Yindu. Emperor shitianwang is the main god of Buddhism. He is the second heavenly king in the" twenty heavens "of Buddhism. He is one of the twelve days."
"Oh, I see." Lang Wenxing said: "that is to say, Emperor shitianwang is one of the bigwigs of Indo Buddhism?"
"That's understandable!" Liu Zixia nodded and said, "is there any doubt? If not, I'll go on! "
Seeing that Lang Wenxing shook his head, Liu Zixia continued to speak
"After hearing the words of emperor Shitian Wang, some ghosts and gods said," I heard that there is a king of sapoda in the world who practices the Bodhisattva's Dharma extensively on weekdays. He is compassionate, virtuous and gracious. He will soon become a Buddha. If you place your hope on him, you will surely cultivate the Dharma! "
Emperor Shitian Wang listened to the suggestion of the dragon, ghost and God, but in order to test whether king sapoda was able to shoulder the heavy responsibility, he decided to test the character of King sapoda.
So he ordered the king general who was guarding the border to be the head of the mountain
At this point, Liu Zixia explained without waiting for Lang Wenxing to ask
"Pishoujiemotian is the Minister of emperor shitianwang. He is also the God of Yindu. He is in charge of the work of architectural carving in the sky and the God of Yindu's craft."
He is afraid. If Comrade Lao Lang keeps asking, it will be endless.
"Today, I want to test whether the sapoda king in the world is really compassionate and compassionate to all living beings to see if he is a person who practices the Bodhisattva way truthfully.
After a while, please turn you into a dove, and then I will turn you into an eagle to chase after you. When you come to King sapoda, you will pretend to be afraid, and beg him to protect you.
If King sapoda is really kind, he will accept your request and protect you, so that he can know whether the legends are true or not. "
After the emperor Shitian finished speaking, vishujiemo became a dove, and the emperor Shitian became an eagle, fiercely following the dove.
The pigeon flew all the way to King sapoda in panic. As soon as he saw him, he rushed under his arm. He was so tired that he couldn't breathe. He began to beg king sapoda to protect his life.
Almost at the same time, the eagle came to King sapoda.
The pigeon with its mouth in its eyes was protected by King sapoda under its sleeve. The eagle said fiercely: "I've been hungry for several days. The pigeon in your sleeve is my delicacy. Give it back to me quickly!"
Seeing this, King sapoda said slowly, "I once vowed to save all living beings. Today I want to rescue this pigeon. How can I give it back to you so that you can kill it for food and clothing?"
Not to be outdone, the eagle retorted, "you said you would save all living beings, but if you cut off my food today, I can't live either. Don't I belong to all living beings? "
King sapoda kindly asked the eagle, "what food do you need to satisfy your hunger? As long as I can stand up, I will try my best to meet your needs! "
"I only eat the hot meat I just killed!" Said the eagle without mercy.
King sapoda thought for a moment and said in secret, "he wants to eat the hot meat he just killed, but if I harm one to save one, it's unreasonable; Since I have vowed to save all living beings, I should save them with my body. "
When he thought of this, King sapoda took out his knife, cut off a piece of his flesh and gave it to the eagle in exchange for the pigeon's life.
Who knows, the eagle did not take the meat, but said: "king, you should treat all living beings equally. Although I am a bird, I am still a lifetime, right? If you want to trade the meat in front of you for the pigeon's life, should you weigh it with a scale to see if it's the same weight? "
"Hey, this emperor Shitian is really cruel!" Lang Wenxing said: "but a pigeon weighs only, so it doesn't get much meat?"
"Yes, a pigeon is about four or five hundred grams." Cheng Siqi also nodded and said, "what's the meaning of not weighing?"
"You think too simply."
Liu Zixia said: "don't forget, the eagle is changed by Emperor Shitian. As a God, if he wants to balance, it's not a very simple thing?"
"So shameless?" Li Mengyi said indignantly, "isn't it just for testing? King sapoda has already cut his own flesh, and he is still so reluctant. "
"Maybe it's to see if it's true or not." Liu Zixia said, "no, do you still listen?"
"Listen Zhao Lingjing nodded and said, "I'm afraid my father hasn't heard this story. I'll tell him later."
"Well, I'll go on!"
Liu Zixia continued: "King sapoda asked people to take a scale, put the pigeon on one end of the scale, and then put the meat he cut off on the other end.
So, a strange thing happened. King sapoda was allowed to cut off his flesh until it was almost finished. He still could not make his flesh equal to the weight of the pigeon at the other end of the scale.
At this time, King sapoda had tried his best. He staggered to his feet and wanted to climb up the scale with his whole body in exchange for the pigeon's life.
Without waiting for him to climb the scale, he fell to the ground and lost consciousness because of lack of strength.
When he woke up, King sapoda thought to himself, "in order to save all living beings, I must stand up bravely. I swear to save everything. Why do I still slack off?
Now I suffer far less than all living beings in hell. Now I have the merits and blessings of wisdom, meditation, keeping precepts, and improvement. If I persist in my own suffering, how can I save all living beings in hell who are suffering? "
Thinking of this, he began to make a big wish continuously, regardless of the pain that his flesh had been cut and the blood was flowing. I want to stand up, fall down again and again, still make the force to stand up!
Fall and rise again, rise and fall again, so repeatedly... "
When Liu Zixia said this, except for Lang Wenxing, Cheng Siqi and her three women all showed their heartless look.
Women themselves are very emotional, even if they are just describing, but one can do it for a stranger... No, it should be said that biology, to this extent, how kind and generous is it?
"This emperor is so cruel!" Cheng Siqi said: "people have done this, or so ruthlessly watching, do not know the end of this test?"
"It won't end." Lang Wenxing said: "sometimes, these gods are more cruel than us ordinary people!"
"But I'm curious?" Zhao Lingjing frowned and said, "a person keeps putting his own meat on his body. If you don't know the pain, I'm afraid you won't be able to cut yourself a lot."
"Yes, Zixia."
Li Mengyi asked: "I'm afraid there are only bones left after cutting my own flesh... It's a bit terrible to watch a bone climb up and fall down."
"You can't say that." Liu Zixia said: "sometimes manpower is exhausted. Maybe he wants to climb on the scale while he is still conscious."
"Didn't you just say that he had cut all his flesh?" Lang Wenxing began to look for loopholes in the story.
"Brother Xing... You're really serious when you just heard that!" Liu Zixia looked at Lang Wenxing with tears and smiles, and said, "in other words, can't you stop being so sharp?"
"How can that work?"
Lang Wenxing shook his head and said, "Zixia, I think the story you're telling can be adapted into a script of a micro movie! At that time, as long as the script is sold to Indo Bollywood, it will be sold at a high price! "
