Chapter 922: Brahma Divine Counsel (2)
Moreover, although Buddhism is prosperous, it is still a foreign religion in Han China, and in Han China, it is the gods of Taoism who are really in charge, and the gods of Buddhism, if someone worships them, can be protected and blessed, but they are not really in charge.
For example, the Taoist god of wealth can make a person rich or make him poor, while the Buddhist god of wealth, if someone worships them, they will become rich, but the Buddhist god of wealth cannot punish the Han people and make them poor, because they are not the ones who are in charge of affairs in the Han land.
Because of these reasons, the powerful gods of Buddhism, such as Shakti, Brahma, Dazitian, etc., their beliefs were not widely spread in the Han Dynasty, and only in the temples of the Tang Mi lineage, there were worships for these gods.
Among them, the great Brahma, in Brahmanism and Hinduism, is revered as the god of creation, also known as the heaven of writing, Brahma, and pure heaven, and is called the three main gods together with Vishnu and Shiva.

The great Brahma told Shiva that the first creature he met on his way to the north would take its head instead of Ganesha's head, and Shiva sent his generals to search for it, and finally found a dying elephant with its head facing north, so when the elephant died, he took off the elephant's head and put it on the boy, and Ganesha was resurrected as an elephant god and became the leader of the gods.
Great Brahma once created the god of the underworld, Chitra Gupota, at the request of King Yama.
Regarding the demon aspect, the demon king Heiranyakahip prayed to Brahma and made a wish, and after Brahma granted his wish, the whole world was ruled by the demon king from then on, and finally Vishnu incarnated as the human lion Narosingha defeated the demon king and saved the world.
At the time of the creation of the universe, Brahma created eleven living beings, the ancestors of mankind, and he also created seven sages to assist in the creation of the universe.

Brahma is the Buddha's proclamation because the karma of sentient beings has arrived, after the Buddha spoke for the eight ghosts and gods of the Bodhisattvas and Dragons in the Jajabori Mountain.
The two of them are equal in the Dharma realm, and they are different from each other in terms of the causes and conditions of sentient beings, one proclaims the Dharma with great compassion and the other proclaims the Dharma with great wisdom, all of which benefit sentient beings and have immeasurable merits.
After the Buddha spoke to the masses in the Jajabori Mountains, the masses had different karma results depending on their karma, but more often than not.
Brahma can be said to be deeply aware of the root of all beings.
Brahma is well aware that sentient beings are often suffering and are prone to all kinds of obstacles and calamities, and his heart is extremely afraid, and it is difficult for him to practice the Dharma to obtain real benefits. Because of these and so many obstacles, there is little belief in the Dharma, and very few people have attained enlightenment.
People in the world are stupid, and in life, when they encounter all kinds of difficulties, such as the harassment of ghosts and gods, the murder of wicked people, the unsatisfactory career, etc., they will not find a way to solve them in Buddhism, nor do they know how to find some Taoist priests with orthodox Taoist traditions, but they will invite some foreign Taoists, such as some psychic people, horse immortals, goddesses, etc., to guide the maze, in order to eliminate disasters and solve misfortunes.
