Chapter 7 Fuhu Arhat【Part 2】
Chapter 7: The Tiger and Arhat [Part 2]
Zhang Yuan looked at the information in his mind in surprise, then turned his mind and thought about how to choose? Yes or no?
Zhang Yuan was not interested in Buddhist teachings. He did not agree with the four elements, but he was not interested in them. He had no prejudice against Buddhism. After all, Buddhism encouraged people to be good, which is understandable.
Putting aside Buddhist doctrines, we will only talk about the Buddhist practices of Buddhism. The Buddhist practices and Taoist practices are in the same way, and they are also pursuing great freedom, pursuing immortality, and pursuing eternal survival.
"It should be no harm in inheriting the inheritance of the Tiger-Fuhu Arhat. If it is not suitable for you, at most you can just not practice." Zhang Yuan thought of this and triggered the [Yes] option with his intention.
bite!
Another crisp reminder sounded, and at the same time, the golden light on the statue of Fuhu Arhat suddenly surged, and then the golden light actually broke away from the statue of Fuhu Arhat, and finally a golden ball of light condensed above the statue of Fuhu Arhat!
Just after the light ball condensed, suddenly, the light drive shot towards Zhang Yuan's forehead like an arrow from the string and instantly sank into his forehead, just like a grain of rice sinking into the water. A golden ripple appeared on Zhang Yuan's forehead. It was a very strange scene, but due to the golden light, it gave people a sacred feeling.
Zhang Yuan's forehead cooled, then a little dizzy, and then endless sleepiness surged into his heart...
"So sleepy, so sleepy..." Zhang Yuan's eyelids became heavy and weak all over. Then he fell softly to the ground, trying to support his body several times, but he became more and more powerless again and again. His brain seemed to gradually lose the ability to think, and finally lay on the ground, closed his eyes, and fell asleep deeply.

who I am?
I am Zhang Yuan, no! I am the king of the mountains and forests, a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests!
When I was born, my mother always ran around with me in her mouth...
I was driven away by my mother as soon as I became an adult. She no longer gave me food, so I had to find food by myself...
After I left my mother, I was hungry for two days and was really hungry, so I had to rely on myself and started to make my first meal. It took a lot of effort to catch a pheasant. To be honest, the pheasant meat is not very delicious, there are too many chicken feathers, and there are too few meats.
I like to eat venison and lamb, the meat is tender, and they are always in groups...
I am the overlord of the mountains and like to stay in the forest, but I hate wild boars because they are not afraid of me and even provoke me. I once tried to teach wild boars a lesson, but unfortunately the wild boars are stronger than I thought. I can only bite them, but cannot kill them. For my own safety, I had to withdraw.
I discovered my kind, but unfortunately it was not a female tiger, but a male tiger. In order to compete for territory, we had a war, but it was me who failed. According to the rules, I left my hometown and wandered outside to find a place of residence that suits me, or rob other tigers of residence.
I found a new place to live, but there was a group of annoying monkeys on the mountain. They always climbed onto the trees and hit me with their shells, which made me very angry, so I sneaked into them and ate one or two of them whenever I had the chance!
I like my new home and I also like those monkeys because monkeys are delicious food, especially in winter, I can’t find other food, so I go around the monkey group and I will always gain some rewards.
I have been a grown-up for a long time, and I often wonder if I should go out to find a female tiger, so I started wandering around the surrounding hills. On the way, I encountered a male tiger and fought. I won. I was very happy. When I was happy, a female tiger appeared nearby...
My wife won, and I never thought that way, but this is the fact. I accidentally fought and snatched someone else's fiancée. I was really happy, so I often screamed and roared at the mountains and forests.
My wife is pregnant. I always wander around the mountains and forests, catch prey one by one, send it to my wife, and prepare the most delicious food for her...
I have a pair of children, and my heart is filled with joy. I watch them grow up little by little...
I suddenly found that my wife was gone and my children were gone. I was very anxious and searched for them everywhere, but I searched for them for a long time, and I never saw them again since then...
I live a lonely life on the mountain, one day after another, year after year...
I suddenly realized that I was old. I thought I would be alone on the mountain for life. Unfortunately, God did not want me to be happy. One day, a young tiger was old and I thought its taste was very familiar, reminding me of my wife and children...
I was defeated and I needed to give up my territory, so I dragged my old body and embarked on the journey again.
I discovered humans, and I was not hungry, so I didn't want to attack them. However, humans were holding a strange thing and stabbed an arrow into my body. It hurts! It hurts very much! Unfortunately, the arrow could not kill me, so I rushed over and bit him to death!
I found myself crossing the street with rats, and humans were looking for me everywhere on the mountain. They were holding strange weapons. Every time I met them, I was hurt. There was an arrow piercing my back. Whenever I was moving vigorously, I felt a burst of pain.
I fell into the trap, a terrible trap, a strange thing clamped my legs, it was very sharp, my right forelimb was severely damaged and I couldn't break free.
I saw the human again, and he shot me with a strange thing, once, twice, three times... until I fell to the ground and could no longer move.
In the dark, I saw humans peel off my skin, divide my flesh piece by piece, and blankets made of fur were placed on the seat, and they were called the tiger skin chair...
My bones and meat were stewed and eaten. I was strange to eat. I have never eaten anything like that. Some of the bones were ground into powder, and it was not used for anything. The strangest thing is that humans actually soaked my little jj in wine. Is it delicious?

who I am?
I am Zhang Yuan, no! I am a tiger, no! I am Bintolu!
My name is Bintolu. My family only knows that I am Bintolu, but no one knows that I was a tiger in my previous life...
My parents are nobles, so I have no worries since I was a child, and I have food and drink...
There was a war in my country, and my parents died in the war...
I joined the army. I was a tiger in my previous life. I knew how to fight. I killed many enemies, drank the enemy's blood, and avenged my parents, but I couldn't feel happy.
I became a general in the city of Deshemi. The king valued me very much because I could bring him victory, capture him more territory, and grab him more wealth and women!
I met Shakyamuni, and he pointed out my previous life and said that I was a tiger. I was very scared. I wanted to kill him, but his identity was too high and I couldn't kill him...
I am afraid of Shakyamuni and often dream that I am a tiger. I am suffering and have no intention of managing military and political affairs...
I am very good at lord, and the king is afraid of me...
I thought about explaining Kamoni, so I collected his information, so I learned about Buddhism and Buddhism. When I was studying Buddhism, the king deprived me of military power and government bit by bit, and I became a bare general who was free from illness and power.
I received the king's will, saying that I sincerely worship the Buddha, so I gave me a chance to become a monk and ordered me to become a monk and to understand the Dharma.
I understood the king's meaning very well. He didn't need a general who was very good at striking the Lord, so I was disheartened and chose to follow the order. Coincidentally, when I was ordained and became a monk, I happened to sit down in Shakyamuni...
I am one of the disciples of Sakyamuni. Every time Sakyamuni was in the throne, I listened carefully. I understood a lot, but there were more confusions.
I studied Buddhism and practiced Buddhism for more than 40 years in a blink of an eye. One day, Shakyamuni said that he was old and was about to pass away. He sat down with four great enlightened people, Mahakasyapa, Jun Tubosan, Bintolu and Luo Hula, and told us to assist Maitreya and promote Buddhism.
I have my own temple. I eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha every day, but occasionally I want to eat meat because I was a tiger in my previous life...
I found tigers near the temple. They did not attack me. I communicated with them in tiger language. They could understand and even communicated with me. But they didn't know how to express them, and could only express their mood, or they were thirsty and hungry.
I often feed tigers nearby, but I was accidentally seen by others. At first, people were surprised and even afraid of me, saying that I was a monster, but I was a disciple of Sakyamuni. Sakyamuni once said that I was an enlightened person. After outsiders knew my identity, they became respectful to me and gave me a title, a Tiger-Suppressing Arhat, but in fact, I had not yet attained the Arhat Fruit.
I am famous outside, riding a tiger to travel around the world, promoting Buddhism, and respecting everyone wherever I pass and see. I promote Buddhism everywhere, and at the same time observe all kinds of life and have experienced a lot.
There have been many tigers around me, because the previous tigers are already dead. Of course, I am about to die of old age, or I am about to die of nirvana.
When I was Nirvana, hundreds of tigers gathered beside me, and the tigers roared constantly. I seemed to recall when I was a tiger and I also roared in the mountains.
My soul came to the Buddha land, reshaped my body, and when I saw Shakyamuni, he said that I had attained the Arhat fruit and made me a Venerable!
I realized the impermanence of the world, the various states of tigers and the various states of life, and only then did I realize that all beings were equal. So, I let go of all causes and all results, and my true heart was strange.
Those who take refuge can gain happiness, eliminate all diseases, prolong life, and always be rich, eliminate all evil karma and serious sins, be free from obstacles, increase all merits of the white Dharma, stay away from all fears, and achieve all good roots. At the end of your life, you will be reborn as your wishes.

Immortal Island, Fuhu Pagoda.
Zhang Yuan suddenly woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes, and looked confused...
"who I am?"
"I'm a tiger..."
"No! I am Bintolu..."
"Not right! I am Zhang Yuan!"
"I am Zhang Yuan!!!"
Zhang Yuan sat up suddenly, then felt a headache, and a few painful sounds. He pressed his temples hard with both hands to relieve the feeling of headache. At the same time, he recalled the strange dream just now, and it was very real. He could even remember every detail in the dream, but he knew it was a dream, not real, and this feeling was very strange.
Zhang Yuan stood up with his body and turned his head to look at the statue of the Fuhu Arhat on the incense table, but the statue of the Fuhu Arhat had turned into a small pile of fine sand.
Zhang Yuan frowned and said to himself: "It's so weird. Fortunately, I clearly remember that I was Zhang Yuan, otherwise I would have thought I was the reincarnation of Bintolu."
