Chapter 168 Establishing Mahayana Buddhism(3/3)

"Why isn't it enough?"

Ning Chen continued to ask: "Do you know what sentient beings are?"

Qingyuan opened his mouth, but suddenly realized that he didn't know where to start.

"You don't even know what sentient beings are, so what's the use of taking the true scriptures?

If you don't even understand the suffering of sentient beings, how can you save sentient beings?

Just because you have Buddhist scriptures means that sentient beings must accept your salvation."

Ning Chen's words, sentence by sentence, penetrated deep into Qingyuan's heart.

Qingyuan stood there blankly, not knowing what to think in his heart.

After a long time, Qingyuan bowed to Ning Chen with his hands clasped together and said, "Please teach me, Buddha."

Ning Chen cleared his throat and said: "I have nothing to teach you, the only thing that can teach you what sentient beings are is sentient beings.

All I can give you are some rules.

If you want to understand what sentient beings are, then enter into them as sentient beings.

Unless there is a life-threatening situation, you should not reveal your extraordinary magical power.

Only in this way can you understand what sentient beings really are.

Only then can we know that all living beings are suffering, and what is suffering.

Only after you inspire the Buddha nature of all living beings will this Buddhist sutra be truly useful to you.

At that time, you can come to see me in the Great Leiyin Temple in the Wu Dynasty.

I will send Mahayana Buddhist scriptures to you so that you can promote Mahayana Buddhism in the Wu Dynasty and the Western Regions."

After listening to Ning Chen's rules, Qingyuan clasped his hands together and said without even thinking about it, "Thank you, Buddha, for teaching me."

After saying this, Ning Chen found that the aura on Qingyuan's body became weaker and weaker, until he completely turned into an ordinary person.

At the same time, the appearance of Qingyuan has also changed.

In just a few moments, Qingyuan had turned into an ordinary sentient being lost among all sentient beings.

"I have another person here that you can take with you. He will help you promote Mahayana Buddhism." Ning Chen said to Qingyuan.

"Amitabha."

Qingyuan recited the Buddha's name and said: "Thank you Lord Buddha for this gift."

Then Ning Chen sent someone to find Liao Jingyuan.

Soon Liao Jingyuan came to the city wall.

"Now you have an opportunity to follow the great monk Qingyuan to promote Mahayana Buddhism.

He is at the second level, so your safety is guaranteed if you follow him.

Of course, whether you are willing to go or not is entirely your own choice." Ning Chen said to Liao Jingyuan.
