Chapter 480 - 431 Tathagata breakthrough, 33 years of Buddhism calamity
In the Great Thunderclap Monastery, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Manjushri Bodhisattva, at this moment, were staring unwaveringly at the Tathagata.
Not only because the Tathagata was now the World-Honored One of Buddhism, but more importantly, to some extent, he was their guide.
Among the Four Great Bodhisattvas, except for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who solely cultivated the Buddhist Law, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and the others all practiced both Buddhism and Daoism!
This was also the reason why when they came to Buddhism, they only cultivated the path of the Bodhisattvas but did not become Buddhas, because they did not completely abandon their original Dao but instead integrated and embraced both.
And on this path, the one who had gone the furthest, without a doubt, was the Tathagata, who had been Multi-Treasure.
Above the great hall of Mount Meru, immeasurable merits descended from the heavens, and an incredibly mighty aura began to emanate from the Tathagata’s body.
"All Buddhas, Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and those below the rank of Quasi-Saints, all must leave the great hall!"
Just at this moment, Saint Jieyin and Saint Zhunti suddenly appeared, and then Saint Zhunti called out loudly.
Hearing the words of the Buddha Mother, the Bodhisattvas and Arhats in the great hall left one after another, leaving only a few behind.
In a moment, several auspicious clouds floated over, and then Ancient Buddha Ran Deng, the future Maitreya Buddha, as well as the rarely seen Buddha Juriyunsun and others, all made their appearance.
These Buddha Ancestors held esteemed statuses, yet they did not often participate in the daily affairs of Buddhism. Like Buddha Juriyunsun—they had originally entered Buddhism alongside Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and others.
