If you used to cut meat and feed it to an eagle before becoming a Buddha, do you know who that eagle

Before Shakyamuni became a Buddha, he went through a period of penance. Legend has it that one day he was meditating in the forest, when an eagle was chasing a pigeon in the sky. The dove saw Shakyamuni in a desperate situation and flew into his sleeve in an attempt to escape.

Shakyamuni naturally understood the pigeon's desire to survive, so he said to the eagle: Please release this pigeon, God has the virtue of a good life. But the eagle said: If I release this pigeon, then this pigeon is alive, but I will starve to death, ** what about the virtue of good life?

Shakyamuni said, "I am willing to exchange the same weight of meat for the life of a pigeon." So he took a scale, put the pigeon on the other side of the scale, and began to cut his own flesh with a knife.

Strange to say, the pigeon was not heavy, but Shakyamuni cut a lot of meat and still did not balance the scales.

Finally he jumped into the scales himself, and the scales were finally balanced. He closed his eyes and said I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell, you eat me.

At this time, the eagle and the dove all disappeared, it turned out that all these were the fantasies of the Mahayana Buddha to test him, the eagle is the demon in the hearts of the world, these demons include greed, selfishness, betrayal, blood and other things that can cause greed in people's hearts, and if you can use the Buddha's heart to influence the demons in his mortal heart, so that the demons have nothing to hide, this is the condition that the person who becomes a Buddha must meet.

So, after this experience, Shakyamuni successfully became a Hinayana Buddha, and as his understanding of the Dharma deepened, he slowly became the leader of the Buddha and the spokesperson of the Buddha. In fact, everyone in the world can become a Buddha, but there is an eagle in the hearts of the world, and this eagle firmly ties people in the red dust, and few people can break free.

The golden-winged Dapeng that Sun Wukong met on the way to learn the scriptures is known as Rulai's uncle, but in fact, he is just a new round of demons in Rulai. Without demons, he is moving to new heights.

In fact, they are all changed by the Mahayana Buddha to test him, the eagle is the demon, these demons include greed, selfishness, betrayal, blood, and all other things that can arouse greed in people's hearts, and if you can use the Buddha's heart to influence the demons in his mortal heart, let the demons disappear, this is the condition that a person who becomes a Buddha must meet.

All of this is the Mahayana Buddha's fantasy to test him, the eagle is the demon in the hearts of the world, these demons include greed, selfishness, betrayal, blood and other things that can arouse greed in people's hearts, and if you can use the Buddha's mind to influence the demons in his mortal heart, so that the demons have nothing to hide, this is the condition that a person who becomes a Buddha must meet.

Meat all over the body. Shakyamuni once went out and happened to encounter a hungry eagle chasing a poor pigeon.

The eagle said, "Why don't I know what you are saying?" But I'm starving now, and I can't live without you. It's not easy for everyone to live in this world, and I won't chase after me until I am cornered. ”

When Shakyamuni heard of compassion, he reached out and held the dove and hid it in his bosom.

The eagle was so angry that he had no choice but to reason with Shakyamuni: "Shakyamuni, you are so merciful and merciful that you saved the life of this pigeon, can you bear to let my eagle starve to death?" ”

Shakyamuni said, "I can't bear to hurt this innocent pigeon, and I don't want you to starve to death in vain." There is a way that if I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell. ”

So Shakyamuni took out a balance and put the pigeon on one side and the meat cut from himself on the other.

The pigeon looked small, but no matter how much Shakyamuni cut it, no matter how much flesh it cut, it didn't seem to be able to hold its weight.

When Shakyamuni cut off the last piece of meat, the scales were finally balanced!

Heaven and earth changed color, and the real Buddha was born.

Men are circumcised, women are circumcised

No. The Roc bird feeds on dragons, and the eagle in the public case is chasing a pigeon, indicating that it is the eagle we usually see. The eagle in the public case was incarnated by the Emperor of Heaven to test the Bodhisattva's level of cultivation.

According to the scriptures, when Shakyamuni Buddha traveled to the Bodhisattva path in the past life, he met a hungry vulture, and was urgently chasing a tame and kind pigeon, the pigeon was panicked and frightened, and when he saw the Bodhisattva, he threw himself into his arms and took refuge, and the vulture could not chase him, so he said to the Bodhisattva: "In order to save the pigeon's life, do you want me to starve to death?" The Bodhisattva asked the eagle and said, "

The Bodhisattva cut off the flesh on his arm to pay for it. But the eagle demanded the same weight as the pigeon's meat. The Bodhisattva continued to cut the muscles of his body, but the more he cut it, the lighter it became, until the flesh on his body was almost cut off, and the weight was not equal to that of a pigeon.

I have no remorse. In order to convince the vulture, he continued: "If my words are true, let my muscles grow and recover."

As soon as the vow was completed, the muscles on his body really returned to their original state. So the vulture was moved and admired, and immediately returned to the body of the Heavenly Emperor, and bowed and admired the Bodhisattva in the air. It turned out that this vulture was changed by the Emperor of Heaven to test whether the Bodhisattva had reached the realm of unbearable and unbearable, difficult and feasible.

One is for the eagle not to kill other animals.

The second is so that the eagle does not starve to death.

Infinitely merciful.

Of course it's true, ordinary people can't do it, saints can do it, it's normal, if you spend the belly of a saint with the heart of an ordinary person, then you can't think it's possible, so just believe, and you can be saved by faith.

Haha, what you believe is true, otherwise I didn't say it
