— Chao Wuhui to Four Noble Truths[1]
|
Senior Monk Four Noble Truths was the Mundane Pure Land’s number one senior monk. His dharma was boundless. When he spoke, the ground rushed forth with golden lotuses, completely revealing the bliss of the Western Paradise. He had been acclaimed as Buddha West Approaches, and ever since he had entered seclusion to cultivate the Chan “Great Nirvana Sutra” a dozen years earlier in the Central Celestial, he did not engage in worldly affairs.
However, this Senior Monk Four Noble Truths still was a big idol of worship in the Buddha Kingdom. No one had ever thought that in this Feast of All Souls, this legendary senior monk would unexpectedly open his altar to propagate dharma, besides passing on his alms bowl and robes. This honestly shook the Buddha Kingdom.[1]
Appearance
On the prayer mat was an old man, in his twilight years, his brows and long beard and hair white. He was draped in a golden kasaya. His hands formed a seal, and his whole body was enveloped in a Buddhist aura, solemn as a Buddha. The air of his body was extremely faint, but it was full of a solemnity that made people not dare to face him.[1]
