A novel about ghosts and Bodhisattvas
I recommend " Guicheng Bodhisattva." This novel was based on the case investigation files left by the guards of the Luanyi Guards during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. It narrated an unsolved case during the Shunzhi period and brought out the ancient gods lurking in the Forbidden City. It involved the "Guicheng Bodhisattva" worshiped by Emperor Taichang and Emperor Tianqi of the former Ming Dynasty. This was an evil god disguised by the demon monk in the name of Bodhisattva. The four emperors of the two dynasties were all disciples of the evil god "Graji". The novel combined ghosts, evil gods, and historical elements, creating an excellent atmosphere.

Why are ghosts afraid of immortals or Bodhisattvas?
In Buddhism, the living beings of the ghost path respected Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva the most. In addition, it was said that ghosts were afraid of Zhong Kui, and there were also rumors that ghosts were afraid of Shen Tu, Yu Lei, Zhao Gongming, and others. There was also a point of view that people who had precepts and good deeds were naturally the most feared by demons and evil paths, and those who were kind and upright with reverence were respected by ghosts and gods. There were also stories about ghosts being afraid of Zen masters, but these were mostly folk legends or religious views, and there was no scientific basis. The Demon Expelling Order novel is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

All the Bodhisattvas are still
Acalanatha Bodhisattva's Sanskrit name was Acalanatha, which meant Acalanatha or Inmovable Acalanatha. In Tantra, he was known as the Acalanatha, also known as the Acalanatha Messenger. "Immobility" referred to the firm and unshakable heart of compassion;"Ming" referred to the light of wisdom;"King" referred to the one who controlled all phenomena. Acalanātha was the head of the Eight Great Acalanātha of the Tantra Buddhism Sect. He had the ability to sweep away all obstacles when he encountered any difficulties and was unwavering. Acalanātha shows the image of anger, so that the evil spirits that disturb all living beings will be afraid and stay away, so that all living beings will not waver in their good thoughts and Bodhi hearts on the road of cultivation. In terms of image, Acalanātha had many different forms of expression, but it was more widely known that he was usually depicted as a child sitting on a stone throne, with seven buns on his head, holding a sharp sword and a rope, and the image showed anger. In the Eastern Esoteric Sect, Acalanātha was honored as the king of all wise kings and the lord of the five wise kings. However, the expression "Unmovable Bodhisattva" didn't have a specific direction in the common Buddhist concepts. If this was a concept in a specific school or minority culture, there was no relevant information at present, so it was impossible to give a definite explanation.

Bodhisattvas Test Practitioners
In the process of cultivation, Bodhisattva tests cultivators in many ways. For example, when learning the Bodhi Ranks of the Way, one might experience physical discomfort, headache, low mood, impetuousness, or family disharmony. These seemingly bad phenomena were actually the performance of karma elimination. It was the way Buddhas and Bodhisattvas tested cultivators and also the "touchstone" to test the progress of cultivation. Since cultivators had committed many sins since the beginning of the tribulation, these karma were enough to make them fall into the three evil paths. However, through advanced cultivation, the karma would be eliminated in advance in the form of heavy punishment and light retribution, so that they would not fall into the three evil paths in the next life. If a cultivator slackens in his practice, such as interrupting his chanting due to work, it may also be regarded as a test by Bodhisattva. This was because interrupting cultivation would cause one to lack the cleansing of the inner demons by the scriptures. As a result, one's righteous thoughts would decrease, their worries would increase, and their greed, anger, and obsession would increase. It would be easy to take things too hard. Generally speaking, cultivators should regard these tests as the best practice. They should not avoid or be afraid of them, and should actively respond to them in order to achieve progress in their practice. "Let go and become a Buddha, draw your saber!"
