Buddhist story: Zen case: Anyone who does not recognize Manjushri Bodhisattva

There was a man named Karaoyue who wanted to see Manjushri Bodhisattva wholeheartedly, but he could not do what he wanted.

Later, he thought of a good way, which was to give generously, hold a banquet to offer to monks, and set up a high seat in the center of the venue, hoping that Manjushri Bodhisattva could come and fulfill his old wish.

Many monks came to offer sacrifices. At this time, an ugly old man, with tears in his eyes, snot in his nostrils, and saliva dripped in his mouth. He was sandwiched among the monks, walked straight to the center, and sat down in the high seat.

No matter how Karatsuki looked at it, why did he dislike it? He thought in dissatisfaction:----I will give generously today and have my own purpose.Especially this noble high-ranking throne, even Manjushri Bodhisattva who has not been moved to the place should also require a great monk with virtue and solemn character and appearance to be qualified to ascend.

----Humph! Who is this old man? Why is he...

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more Gala walked forward and dragged him down without hesitation.Unexpectedly, before reaching the gate, the old man broke free from Galaoyue and turned around and ascended to the high seat again.The more Gala had to turn around and drag him down, so many times...

After offering to the monk, Gala ran to the temple, burned lamps and incense and prayed:

-----Today, I will give you a lot of donations, with this merit, hoping to receive retribution in this life, to see Manjushri Bodhisattva, and pray to fulfill your wish.

Galao was tired all day, and when he got home, he fell asleep as soon as he went to bed.

In his sleep, someone suddenly said to Galaoyue: You want to see Manjushri Bodhisattva, but you don’t know him.

Galao was shocked and was about to ask a question when his voice rang again: The old man on the high seat in front of you is Manjushri Bodhisattva! You dragged him down seven times, have you forgotten?

《The Diamond Sutra says: If you see me with your appearance and seek me with your voice, you will be able to see the Tathagata.

The more you have a higher or lower mind, you will fall into the evil path early. Even if the Bodhisattva is in front of you, how can you see it?
