buddha by osamu tezuka

The way of heaven is impermanent and ruthless. It embraces everything and is free from it. There is no good or evil, no right or wrong, no gratitude or resentment, no joy or sorrow. The way of immortals is the way, the way of demons is the way, the way of monsters is the way, and the way of Buddha is the way. Lying high on the nine-layer cloud, I have realized the truth of the way on the futon. Beyond the dark yellow of heaven and earth, I shall be the master of the religion. Pangu gave birth to Taiji, and the two yin and yang and four images follow. One way passed on to three friends, and the two religions were divided into Chan and Jie. The leaders of the Xuanmen, one breath transformed into the Three Pure Ones

Once the supreme Buddha of Compassion, Cang Yaochen descended to the mortal realm only to find a world in ruins. To save the crumbling Heavens, he must awaken his hidden personas: The God of Love—a gentle but sinister puppeteer of hearts; and The Asura God—a blood-soaked nightmare. Bound to a mysterious System, he must collect lost artifacts while being hunted by Jiang Li, a mysterious ruler who has waited ten million years for her greatest rival to return. One face, three souls. When mercy fails, will he save the world as a Buddha, or destroy it as a Demon?

The Storm Calling Buddha/ Alternate Title: The Cult of Immortality A world set on the basis of 'might makes right'. A world where clear lines were drawn between mortals and immortals, the lower and the higher. A world where cultivation was real, where going against the heavens was considered the only meaningful way to live. That was the world that Luke Griffiths, or rather Mo Yangling found himself in now. How would he, a devout Buddhist and avid reader of Wuxia novels fare in such a world? And was it really going to be the exact same as the many stories he had read in the past? That only time could tell... ___________________________________________ Also, another good tag for this that I couldn't find would be 'Strong to Stronger MC' Just felt the need to add this here.

Born beneath the sacred Bodhi tree, Surya entered the world not as a mere child, but as a Buddha—fully enlightened, his mind blazing with the clarity of a thousand lifetimes. Yet, unlike those who came before him, Surya did not preach only stillness or peace. The world called him the "Rebel Buddha," for he was the one who dared to redefine enlightenment itself. "True wisdom," he declared, "is not found in submission, but in shattering the chains that bind us." In a realm where the paths to spiritual awakening are paved with silence and submission, Surya’s existence is a revolt against fate. He tears down the old doctrines, proclaiming, "A caged bird may sing, but it will never soar." His teachings are as much about inner freedom as they are about breaking the shackles of oppression. To him, enlightenment is not an escape from the world, but a fierce engagement with it. "if I must kill in order to maintain my path of freedom, then thousands must die." Surya’s journey is one of fire and defiance—rallying the oppressed, challenging the heavens, and forging a new way for those who would follow. "I do not seek nirvana," he declares to gods and men alike, "I seek the unyielding flame of freedom." His path is one of conflict and revolution, where each step threatens to overturn the ancient order.

"Mingjing descended the mountain and became the real young miss of the Zhu family in River City. No one in the Zhu family liked this little Buddhist nun who came out from deep mountains.

When he participated in a variety show, a frail female guest appeared. She chopped wood with her left hand and pulled noodles with her right hand. Steaming, boiling, and cooking; everything was a piece of cake to her. As someone horrible at maintaining an orderly life, he was dumbfounded.

His high-flyer best friend cried to him, ""After your goddess transferred over, I can never surpass being in second place anymore."" Qu Feitai, ""How many surprises do you have that I don't know about?"" Until one day, he actually saw her discussing scriptures and Buddism with a group of old monks at an international Buddhist exchange. As she started to speak of Buddhist Dharma, Qu Feitai panicked… ""You keep your six senses pure and saw through the vanity of the world, but I insist on dragging you here for a walk in the mortal realm. Worse comes to worst, you'll ascend to nirvana and I'll end up in hell."" "
