Chapter 2486 Changes in Buddhist Power
Because Sakyamuni's methods were extremely clever, there was very little opposition in the entire Western religion.
The few opponents, such as Ran Deng Taoist, Keliu Sun and others, were even beaten by Sakyamuni, who directly emptied all the rights in his hands!
He even came up with the gimmick of past Buddha, present Buddha, and future Buddha, which completely calmed down the originally dissatisfied Western believers!
Among them, Ran Deng was named the Ran Deng Ancient Buddha, which is the Buddha of the past.
This title is naturally very resounding, and it is even equal to that of Sakyamuni and has the same status!
But in fact, the cunning Taoist Ran Deng has never played with Sakyamuni and is completely useless!
As for the current Buddha, of course he is Tathagata Buddha, also known as Sakyamuni.
In layman's terms, he is the current person in power in Buddhism, and Taoist Ran Deng is the retired leader!
As for the future Buddha, Sakyamuni gave it to the fearful grandson!
This rebellious boy named Wei Liusun was originally one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Cult, the precious disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun!
But after the Battle of the Conferred Gods, he abandoned the Chan Sect and took refuge in the Western Sect.
Moreover, he also won the trust of the Second Saint of the West!
Among all the rebels who explain the religion, Ai Liusun is considered the best one!
Therefore, in order to quell the forces of interpretation in Western religions!
Only Sakyamuni would confer the title of future Buddha!
To explain it in other words, it is because he is afraid that his grandson will be regarded as the prince, the future heir of Buddhism!
This empty check, this crackling promise!
But in fact, anyone with a little knowledge of the emperor's mind can see through Gautama Buddha's methods at a glance!
Emperors in this world are subject to birth, old age, illness and death, so no matter how long the old emperor lives, the prince always has something to look forward to!
But Sakyamuni is different. He is only one step away from the level of a saint!
It can almost be said to be immortal, so if you are afraid of Liu Sun, the future Buddha, you will always be a prince!
Therefore, Sakyamuni played extremely beautifully.
How could Western believers, who had just evolved from savages and whose IQs had not been fully developed, know that Gautama Buddha was so good at playing?
They naively thought that Sakyamuni had great respect for Taoist monk Ran Deng and had great trust in the fear of leaving his grandson, so he arranged it like this, so everyone praised him!
In this way, Taoist Ran Deng and Ai Liu Sun are still suffering.
After all, Gautama Buddha had arranged it this way. If they still had objections, Western believers would be completely disgusted with them.
After making such an arrangement, Sakyamuni began to continuously plan and instigate the original interpretation sect.
He directly differentiated the relationship between Wei Liusun and Taoist Cihang, Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun and Samantabhadra.
So much so that later on, Zhenliusun, who had become Maitreya Buddha, almost completely turned against Cihang and others!
Because although Cihang and the others did not obtain the status of Buddha, they were awarded the status of Bodhisattva!
In particular, Taoist Cihang became Guanyin Bodhisattva and had countless followers, enjoying the power of incense continuously!
In fact, due to Guanyin's special status, she almost has more authority than Buddha!
This undoubtedly made Wei Liusun jealous, so he left Lingshan and wandered the world as Maitreya Buddha, intending to compete with Guanyin for followers!
The Chan Sect faction completely collapsed!
After achieving this goal, Sakyamuni began to set his sights on the demon clan again!
Just when he was about to attack the demon clan, his apprentice Jin Chanzi was bewitched by Ran Deng Taoist, so much so that he broke the commandments in public!
As a last resort, Sakyamuni had no choice but to punish Jin Chanzi by reincarnating himself and cultivating him again!
