Chapter 589 Namo Tathagata Buddha

"Om daleh-daleh-daleh-mama ayu..."

Sanskrit sounds echoed in the void, and rays of Buddha's light fell. Taoist Ruoque, who cooperated with Chu Tai to intercept Lotus Mother, was stunned for a moment, looking at the Buddha's light falling in the void. After being illuminated by it, his body instantly became clear and transparent.

The bones in his body, which looked like they were carved out of white jade, gradually began to glow with golden light under the illumination of the Buddha's light. At the same time, his flesh, blood, and meridians all revealed a golden texture. The slight filth remaining in his body and the hidden injuries left over from his practice also melted away under the illumination of the Buddha's light.

"Om dal-dal-dal-dal..."

After repeating the Sanskrit sound that echoed in the void, Ruo Que whispered, "Is this the White Tara mantra? Which great virtue could attract such Buddha light and save countless people in the ten directions?"

As he spoke, Ruoque clasped his hands together and bowed to the void. He could see clearly that the Buddha's light was not only falling on him, but also on all living beings in the world. According to the current state of heaven and earth, this Buddha's light was a great remedy to suppress the Lotus Mother's magical powers and prevent alienation.

Opposite Ruoque was Lianmu, a person who practiced both god and Buddha, and she was filled with grief and indignation.

"Why? Why did you come now!"

White Tara Bodhisattva, also known as White Tara, White Tara Bodhisattva, and White Tara Avalokitesvara.

In the Buddhist scriptures, this Bodhisattva is Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. When there were countless sentient beings in the immeasurable kalpas, he saw that no matter how much he tried to save them, there were still sentient beings who were addicted to the five desires, drowning in the sea of ​​suffering, and could not be liberated. No matter how they struggled, they were just struggling repeatedly in the six realms of reincarnation, suffering endless pain.

The Bodhisattva shed tears out of compassion for the people, and the tears that fell from her left eye became White Tara. She, like Green Tara who appeared from the tears in her right eye, is a manifestation of compassion and the most honorable of the twenty-one Taras manifested by Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering.

Therefore, in many cases, White Tara Bodhisattva is also regarded as Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

This is a great irony for Lotus Mother, who once practiced the Guanyin method and tried to save countless sentient beings.

When I was struggling in the sea of ​​suffering, you did not show any Buddha signs! When I chose to sacrifice myself and unite with the goddess, you did not show any Buddha signs! When I assimilated all living beings, forced the dead souls to stay, and begged you, you did not show any Buddha signs!
Now, because of the prayers of others, you have descended upon the world and manifested the form of your own deity, Tara, who saves people from suffering.

The Lotus Mother let out bursts of mournful cries, boundless resentment surged up, blood surged, blood mist rose, hundreds of billions of lotus flowers bloomed, hundreds of billions of arms stretched out, and scarlet light emerged from the infinite lotus patterns that looked like eyes, illuminating the entire sky in blood red.

There was another rolling black smoke, like a huge rising wave, rising continuously, trying to swallow everything.

"Om dal-dal-dal-dal..."

It is still the White Tara mantra, and Buddha's light flows out.

The Buddha's light slid through the black smoke and blood mist, allowing it to disperse the evil karma condensed from greed, anger, and ignorance. It rotated on the lotus, scraping away the filth on it, condensing it on the arm, turning it into jewels to decorate it, and finally leaving bits of light that fell on the eye-like lines, lighting up its center, making it fade away from the blood color and reveal golden light.

Mother Lian kept losing, she knew she couldn't win.

In some Buddhist scriptures, it is believed that White Tara possesses the merits of all twenty-one Taras in one person. She can eliminate various diseases, cure poison and curses, remove adverse conditions, increase lifespan, and free one from the cycle of life and death. She is also one of the few women in Buddhism who has achieved the highest level of Buddhahood.

It can be said that this White Tara has the ability to restrain the Lotus Mother in all aspects.

If their cultivation levels were similar and Lotus Mother herself was intact, she might be able to rely on the Dharma of [Nanwu Guanyin] that she had mastered to suppress the power of the White Tara mantra that was echoing around her.

But now, the meaning of [Nanwu Guanshiyin] has been sent out, and she herself is no longer perfect. Most importantly, as the dead souls in the Lotus Mother's body no longer wail so much, she can't find a reason to continue. In the end, the Lotus Mother could only continue to wail: "Why did you come at this time..."

The almost desperate voice echoed in the void. Chu Tai heard it, Taoist Ruoque heard it, Master Tianque heard it, and Goddess Jingguang also heard it.

Chu Tai lowered his brows and said nothing. Ruo Que didn't know everything and couldn't speak. Tian Que had never experienced it before and couldn't speak. Only Jing Guang sighed and said, "She has always been here. Why did she come only now?"

"where is she?"

The one who spoke at this time was the girl in front of Jingguang, who also represented the purest kindness in Lianmu's heart.

"it's here."

Jingguang stretched out a hand and lightly touched the girl's forehead.

A faint Buddha light emerged from the girl's brows, spreading outward layer by layer, refracting hundreds of thousands of colorful rays of light, and was surrounded by many bright clouds.

The girl was stunned for a moment and said, "But I didn't save the sentient beings. I just made them suffer. Even now, I don't even have the ability to free myself. I can only pray for you to help us."

"But if it weren't for your persistence, how would I have the chance to help you?"

The girl smiled upon hearing this, then shook her head and said, "Don't lie to me. It was me who caused all the sentient beings to fall into this state. How can you say that it was my persistence that saved them?"

"But in the past, were you the one who begged sentient beings to allow you to save them? It was they who begged you, and you simply responded to their wishes and did the best you could. You never owed them anything, and you never broke your vow to save sentient beings."

Having said this, Jingguang paused and tapped the girl's forehead for the second time: "You just think too highly of yourself and think that everyone can get a perfect solution."

"But if I can't do it, how can I be worthy of their prayers and offerings?"

"But can you do it? Even Bodhisattva Baiduoluo manifested himself because of Bodhisattva Guanyin's compassion for the suffering of sentient beings. We are just ordinary monks. How many people can we save? It's good enough to save the person in front of us."

As she spoke, the Pure Light Goddess looked back at Chu Tai and said with a smile, "Daoist Taining, the previous argument between me and Monk Yu has an answer."

"I can't save everyone. I can only say that I will choose to save everyone I can help, rush to everyone I can see, and do my best to save them. As for the rest, I'll leave it to future generations to judge."

As she spoke, the Goddess of Pure Light walked towards the two entangled corpses covered with teeth marks, and reached out her hand to gently press on them.

The gentle Buddha's light dispelled the remaining resentment and purified the essence of the Lotus Mother bit by bit.

Jingguang whispered: "Namo Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva!"

The girl also put her hands together and chanted: "Namo Guanshiyin Bodhisattva!"

The Lotus Mothers outside of Fangzhu Qiankun put their arms together and said, "Namo... Guan (Ru)... Lai (Shi)... Buddha..."
