The two foreheads of the creature suddenly split open. Azure Black blood flowed out, while two indigo vertical eyes rotated in the center of the forehead. At this moment, the man had transformed into a Two-Headed, Six-Armed Liu Mu, a monstrous figure with a wide mouth and sharp fangs, his aura soaring to the Dao Realm.
Zuo Ci watched the Two-Headed Man with great interest. It was akin to watching a monkey show at the zoo—would you applaud? That was precisely Zuo Ci's mindset at that moment. He had indeed never seen such a self-transformation ability before, likely related to those two heads.
Indeed, even in Southeast Asia, one could produce a formidable Evil God! Zuo Ci clapped his hands, and with a soft pop, his fingertips curled like hooks, crushing the Evil Spirit Child that had been lifted up. The Evil Spirit Child was notorious in Southeast Asia, but that reputation only held for ordinary cultivators. Zuo Ci was an exception.
When it came to raising little spirits, our country was their ancestor. What kind of bizarre spirit-raising techniques had he not seen? It was hardly anything rare!
Roar! Mao Lei charged forward like a tank, his palm as large as a fan slapping at Zuo Ci's head.
Hmph! Two beams of colorful light shot out from Zuo Ci's nostrils like long whips, striking Mao Lei's chest. Mao Lei's scarlet pupils widened in shock as his burly body began to boil with black energy, nearly being forced out by the impact of those two beams.
"Silence!" Mao Lei whispered, reciting in Sanskrit: "Namo Tassa Bhagavato Arahato, Sama, Sap, Tassa." The boiling black mist stabilized considerably.
A faint black halo began to form behind his head, reminiscent of the enlightened aura that surrounds the Buddha.
The light of Buddhism shines universally? Zuo Ci grinned, finding it intriguing.
Siam reveres Buddhism. With numerous followers like the Samanas and at the Shiva Gate, the predominant form of Buddhism in Siam is Theravada Buddhism.
Hinayana was originally a derogatory term used by Mahayana Buddhism to belittle its rival sect. In Sanskrit, it is "Hinayana." The term "Hina" implies something base, lowly, or wicked, while "yana" means path. Thus, Hinayana originally referred to an evil path or a lowly way of practice.
It also denotes a narrow path or a small road. This later evolved to signify a small boat that cannot carry much.
On the other hand, Mahayana in Sanskrit means "great vehicle." The term "Maha" signifies greatness, indicating a large vessel capable of carrying countless beings across the vast river of life and death to reach the shores of enlightenment and Nirvana.
Theravada Buddhists do not refer to themselves as Hinayana; they generally identify as followers of the "Elders' School." In contrast, Mahayana practitioners are known as the "Great Vehicle" adherents. Theravada Buddhism is seen as fundamentalist, strictly adhering to the original teachings of Buddhism and regarding Shakyamuni as the sole standard and the only Buddha.
No one, including Shakyamuni's closest disciples, is qualified to be called a Buddha. It is centered on self-perfection and liberation, with the pursuit of personal enlightenment as its goal. This stands in stark contrast to the Mahayana Buddhism, which advocates for the salvation of all beings. Mahayana Buddhism is dedicated to the liberation of all sentient beings and criticizes the original teachings of Buddhism, known as Hinayana, for seeking only individual salvation.
It emphasizes that one must not only attain personal liberation but also help liberate all living beings; only then can one truly become a Buddha. Theravada Buddhism permits the consumption of three pure meats, while Mahayana Buddhism strictly allows vegetarianism.
The Two-Headed Man has just recited the Buddha Head Sutra from Theravada Buddhism. This sutra is part of the daily practice for Theravada followers, who are required to chant it three times a day to attain clarity and calmness of mind.
