Chapter 558 The Road to Paradise
In the eyes of the three spirits, this sacred sign shines. But it is connected with the two mosques next door. It doesn't seem to blame the pagan holy land for encroaching on its own place. In fact, the whole holy city is glowing faintly. Even Zhang Fan's Buddha light, which could not restrain, fused with the light of this holy city.
"Hey, these sacred objects, churches and temples of Judaism, Islam and Catholicism all emit sacred light together, but their believers are staring at each other, as if they were enemies, which is really funny." Aken broke the silence with a smile.
Zhang Fan nodded, "So the way for ordinary people to practice is very long. Maybe one day, they can understand the meaning taught by those pioneer saints and understand that between different religions, only the different forms of clothing and etiquette are essentially the same. They are guiding all sentient beings to good and The future of wisdom."
In all holy sites, there are some little angels like those in the church in C City who are spreading the blessings of holy light. There are many little angels here, sometimes flying casually in the city to find lucky visitors. From time to time, he paraded among the prayers and brought comfort to the most devout pilgrims.
Probably just did a big thing. Zhang Fan and the three of them were surrounded by golden good karma. In the process of their search for this great holy city, they have been blessed by the lovely little angels more than once. The arrival of these little angels made the paper cranes on the shoulders of the green wings fly with them excitedly and looked very happy...
Green Wings saw these angels for the first time. They were very surprised and excited. "What lovely little angels. Why do they all look the same? They also have blessings to the followers of Islam? I thought angels were Catholic?"
Zhang Fan explained with a smile, "Didn't I tell you that Judaism, Catholicism and Islam are the three apocalypse religions. Their basic teachings and historical origins are the same, and the natural miracles are the same."
"Then why do Islam and Catholicism fight for thousands of years?" Although Green Wings experienced the Battle of Hardin, she still did not understand what the Crusade was for. In fact, how many people really understand?
Zhang Fan sighed, "It's just because of human selfishness. It was the saint who created religion, but it was vulgar who later interpreted these teachings. Those ancient religious nobles coveted the wealth of others and used the blind worship of believers to make people who originally belonged to the same faith hate each other. And let this hatred last for thousands of years. And not all believers understand history. They only understand and listen to the teachings one-sidedly, but treat their brothers as outsiders. If they can not fascinate hatred and look up at the same angels in the sky giving them the same blessings, they may know how ridiculous their unprovoked hatred is.
"What's wrong with the Buddhism you believe in?" Green Wing saw such a grand miracle for the first time and became interested in religion. "Is it the same source as them?"
Zhang Fan was asked by her, but he was a little confused. Is Buddhism the same as these three apocalyptic religions? Although the origin of history is absolutely different, Buddha said that all sentient beings are equal. Don't look at anything with a separate mind. So in terms of doctrine, what is the difference between the so-called Buddhism and these Abrahamic religions?
All sentient beings exist under the same sky, and even go to the same underworld after death, with the same reward for good and evil. Even if there are 3,000 worlds, even if there are different heavens and blis, even if there are different world views, who can deny everyone They also have the difference between good and evil, as well as the pursuit of world cognition and wisdom. If these are the same, then essentially all good religions come from one!
"I think that all sentient beings are equal. Buddhism, even evil spirits in hell, ants among beasts, and even grass and stones, is treated equally, so it should be the same source as what these believers believe in." Zhang Fan's eyes seemed to have lost focus, and the magnificent Holy Stone Mosque and Al-Aqsa Mosque, the sad crying wall, and the bitter road and the Holy Sepulchre Cathedral of Jesus' martyrdom in the distance, and even the whole Temple Mount were penetrated.
As if responding to Zhang Fan's thoughts, the Buddha's light on his body pulsed between breath and the brilliance of the holy city. Countless angels gathered together and sang hymns. Even the golden ceiling fell, and golden lotus and golden worms surged up on the ground and were moistened by this holy light.
There are hidden figures of saints and prophets in the sky, but there are also Vajrad Bodhisattva's eyes. They are not angry with each other, but more pity and concern for ordinary people.
It looks like a miracle in the eyes of Aken's green wings.
Zhang Fan and the other two visited the holy city and stroked the boulder that Muhammad had been familiar with. There, they were once again absorbed into the scene of history, but this time they watched a great prophet spread their faith by the huge stone. Countless poor people, guided by him, found the goal and direction of their lives and ideas.
Countless people followed his footsteps and traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers. Finally, under his guidance, all people united, established their beliefs and established a unified country. He is a great religious prophet who founded Islam on the basis of Judaism and Catholicism. He is a wise political leader who unified the chaotic Arab nation, created a great empire, and opened a civilized way to communicate with the East and the West by civilized means, and the world changed as a result!
After the three woke up, they had another memorial and seemed to understand the meaning of religion more.
The three walked through the hardships of Jesus and worshipped the marble he had laid down to rest. He also inexplicably passed through the time tunnel and felt the life of Jesus, especially the last murder of Jesus. The cruel scene was vivid in my mind. The grief of believers, the cruelty of the Jewish authorities, and the suffering of saints are merged into an awakening movement, played in a thousand years...
Wherever they go, there are always little angels. It's just that there are no supernatural scenes other than these three sacred places, perhaps because it is related to the sacred objects obtained by the three people in the scene...
There are many supernatural people in this holy city, but Zhang Fan and the three of them have gathered because of their great deeds, so that there are few people surrounded by angels. This is also because Zhang Fan and others have not been able to understand the practice method of receiving their own ability. Maoshan has a charm related to hidden cultivation, but the grade is very high, and Aken can't use it yet.
To be honest, if the practice is not very high, what is the need to hide the cultivation? Therefore, Zhang Fan and the three of them walked awkwardly to and from the sacred monuments in the holy city. There are real practitioners in it who salute them to show respect. Of course, they can see how many lives need to be saved!
But even so, their good deeds are still not as good deeds as the fire of the meritorious ghost in the spiritual hospital. Because although she didn't save many people, her ability is also very weak. She not only sacrificed her life, but even gave up her beloved heart that had not yet been born. Such merit is naturally moving. Who can bear such a fire of merit! If it is not the right and kind guidance, which ghost has the ability to arrest her!
Aken looked at the crowd of angels and smiled, "I don't know if those ghosts dare to arrest us after our death? What's better than that meritorious ghost?"
Zhang Fan smiled and said, "The difference is too far. We haven't done enough. Because we are not facing the danger of our lives, and half of them are still to save our lives. It's like a Buddhist allusion: a rich man donated 100 taels of silver, and the abbot in the temple only said 'I know'. A poor old woman donated ten cents, but the abbot personally came out to thank her for her kindness. Little Shami was puzzled and asked, all sentient beings are equal, why is their relatives different? The abbot said that a night thief donated three hundred taels a day. One has donated all his savings. This is different from the good heart. How can he be treated equally?
Aken smiled after hearing this: "No wonder Jesus said that it is more difficult for a rich man to enter heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. So that's what it means."
"Good, this is the same thing as all laws, as long as there is the same heart for kindness. There is no difference between the so-called religion. Aken, your understanding has improved again!" Zhang Fan laughed.
"It turns out that religion is the one that guides us on the road to good..." Green Wing muttered.
"There is also a road of wisdom..." Zhang Fan added.
Green Wing doesn't quite understand, "What does this say?"
"I can't tell the difference between good and evil, and there is no wisdom. If you distinguish between good and evil, then you will naturally have wisdom!"
"Is that smart Aken so intelligent because he can distinguish between good and evil?" Green Wing curled his lips.
Zhang Fan looked at Aken and said, "All I can say is that if he can't distinguish between good and evil, he will be smart and be mistaken."
Aken shook his head, "Smartness is not equal to wisdom. My intelligence is very high, which only shows that I have a sensitive brain, read a lot of books, and never forget it. But this is not wisdom! Perhaps as Zhang Fan said, the old woman in the allusion, even if she has not studied, her wisdom may be above me. If you really want to say where wisdom is, I think..." Aken looked at Zhang Fan and thought for a moment, "...it may be understanding..."
Zhang Fan shook his head with a smile, "Maybe this wisdom is not fully reflected in understanding or intelligence. Maybe it is a comprehensive embodiment of forbearance, determination, intelligence, understanding, and even other hidden attributes... We are all on the way to explore wisdom."
Aken smiled and said, "Your words are so familiar. I also thought of a sentence: either in heaven or on the way to heaven."
The three of them stopped talking, and the Temple Mountain in front of them was shining brightly. The believers came and went to the noisy holy city. Whether it is a poor Muslim, an Israeli soldier who guards this holy place, or a rich tourist who may not have any faith, they are immersed in this sacred glory, like heaven...
