Chapter 295: Chapter 295: New School of ThoughtDu'e Arhat put his hands together, and a voice like a morning bell rang out: "Let go of troubles, and the Buddha's heart will be clear."
The mad monk seemed to be hit hard by a stick, and his body froze, and then he slowly sat down and meditated cross-legged.
His face was still struggling, but no longer as crazy as before.
Du'e Arhat retracted his gaze, raised his head, and looked at the Foshan Secret Realm. Anger rarely appeared on his face with ravines.
.......
As expected of the obsession cut out by the Bodhisattva, I just proposed a concept, and he seemed to have realized it!
The Buddhist sect in Jiuzhou seems to be based more on power and fruition, and then the Dharma... It may be different from the Hinayana Buddhism in my world, but it is definitely lower than the Mahayana Buddhism.
At least they don't have the concept of Mahayana Buddhism.
Seeing the old monk stunned and seemed to have realized something, Xu Qian'an estimated that this level was stable.
"What happened just now? Why did the monk suddenly go crazy....."
"Could it be caused by the words of the silver gong just now?"
"How can a few words have such power? It's just nonsense."
Ordinary people have no concept of "Mahayana Buddhism" and "Hinayana Buddhism", so they are a little confused about the monk's sudden madness.
Not everyone heard the words before the monk went crazy.
this moment, with a smile of great enlightenment, the Buddha's rhyme flowed all over his body, and it was natural.
"Thank you for solving my doubts, the poor monk has already achieved great enlightenment." The old monk smiled and folded his hands.
You actually really got enlightenment?! I didn't expect that I would have a day when a few nonsense words would make the monk achieve great enlightenment... Xu Qian'an was in a complicated mood.
Before he could respond, the old monk continued, "When Wenyin was still a fourth-rank ascetic monk, he had doubts about why he could not become a Buddha.
"This obsession was hidden in his heart for countless years, until his life was about to end, he had a great enlightenment, there was only one Buddha in the world, and that was the Buddha over there. So he killed me and achieved the status of a bodhisattva.
"I have been sitting in this secret realm for many years, and I still can't figure out how to become a Buddha, let alone why I can't become a Buddha."
The old monk stared at Xu Qi'an, and it seemed as if he saw through him and saw himself in the far west. Finally, he put his hands together and said to himself:
"I am the Buddha, and the Buddha is me, Amitabha!"
Wenyin was obsessed with transcending the rank and becoming a figure on par with the Buddha.
Now, he finally realized that Buddha has nothing to do with rank.
"Thank you for your advice, donor."
"The master has seen the nature of Buddha, not my merit." Xu Qi'an said sincerely.
His words had the effect of enlightening people, but the sudden enlightenment was due to the profound accumulation of this obsession master himself.
Just like the few short sentences just now, ordinary people don't feel anything when they hear them, but Buddhist monks are like evening drums and morning bells, because they understand the meaning at once, and even extend and comprehend in their minds.
Suddenly there was wind in the secret realm, and the old monk turned into green smoke and disappeared, and no one knew where he went.
Rustle...
The bodhi tree swayed, and it actually produced green bodhi fruits, hanging heavily on the branches.
The fruit exuded crystal green light, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary product. The Buddhist realm was silent, only the bodhi tree "rustled", but the outside of the Buddhist realm became lively.
Seeing this, the people in the capital were no longer stunned or shocked, they felt incredible. If I heard correctly, it was this Lord Yinluo who enlightened the old monk under the tree and made him realize the truth. For this, the old monk thanked him gratefully.
A warrior enlightened the monk and made him realize the truth?!
Such an absurd and bizarre scene made the people in Beijing forget to cheer. "What are you talking about?"
On the top of the restaurant, Chu Yuanzhen asked Master Hengyuan beside him. "Looking at flowers in the fog, looking at flowers in the fog... Lord Xu, please speak more clearly, speak more clearly..." Hengyuan ignored him and just muttered to himself.
Xu Ningyan's words had such a great impact on the Buddhists? Chu Yuanzhen was stunned.
Is this level considered to be broken... Xu Qian'an was delighted and looked at the green Bodhi reluctantly.
Let's go to the temple on the top of the mountain first! He thought to himself.
Turning around, just as he was about to leave, he heard a loud voice that echoed throughout Foshan.
"What is Mahayana Buddhism and what is Hinayana Buddhism? Donor Xu, please explain it clearly before you leave."
Outside, everyone looked at Master Du'e in astonishment. It was unexpected that a great arhat would intervene in the fight between the two.
But at this time, Du'e Arhat's face was so serious that people thought he was facing a major event like the collapse of the sky, and they did not dare to shout or scold.
What is this Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism?
I don't understand it at all.
Ordinary people don't understand, but some people in the top power of the capital have tasted something a little bit.
For example, Wei Yuan, such as Wang Shoufu.
This is the voice of Du'e Arhat... The outside world can indeed hear my voice and see my behavior, but what is the matter with directly intervening in the fight?
Xu Qian'an frowned and snorted, "Master, what is Buddha?"
"Before the Buddha, no one became a Buddha for 723,680 years. After the Buddha, no one
became a Buddha for 3,491 years.
"The Buddha is the Buddha, how can everyone become a Buddha!"
Master Du'e's voice was full of questioning.
It turns out that Buddhism in this world has existed for 3,491 years, so why hasn't the Mahayana school of thought appeared yet?
Xu Qian'an pondered for a moment and came to the conclusion that the world of Jiuzhou is based on strength and realm, and whoever has the biggest fist is the boss. Therefore, the development of ideas is suppressed.
In his world, everyone is a mortal, but the ideological differences are constantly colliding. Different environments lead to different development directions.
In this case, I will tell you what Mahayana Buddhism is, well, it is my own understanding of Mahayana Buddhism...Xu Qian'an said in a deep voice:
"So, in the eyes of Buddhist disciples all over the world, Buddha is Buddha, not Buddha is Buddha. In my opinion, this idea is ridiculous."
This sentence is difficult to say, and no one can understand it except the Buddhist monks
outside the field.
Monk Jingchen couldn't help but say: "Where is it ridiculous, you must make it clear. "
Master Du'e glanced at him, said nothing, looked away, and looked at Xu Qi'an again.
"Of course it's ridiculous. Take the sorcerers of the Sitianjian for example. The chief sorcerer is a first-class sorcerer, but the first-class sorcerer is not the chief sorcerer. This should be a consensus, right? But in the eyes of you Buddhists, Buddha is Buddha. Isn't this ridiculous
and strange?
"Shouldn't Buddha represent a supreme fruit position, rather than just a certain person?" This statement is really treasonous. Buddha is the founder of Buddhism, the only Buddha, and the existence they want to worship.
Shouldn't such a high-ranking immortal god-level figure be the only Buddha?
But Xu Qi'an's words do make sense, so the Buddhist monks could not refute it for a while.
Xu Qi'an continued, "So, I have a question to ask you, what exactly is Buddha? Is it a way to gain power or a thought?"
Master Du'e's face was still serious, but there was no anger in his eyes. Instead, he thought seriously for a moment and said, "Both."
"So I said, this is the difference between Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism." Xu
Qi'an said it with certainty.
The monks below looked at each other, feeling uncomfortable and wanted to listen to Xu
Qi'an's theory in one breath.
In the Star Observatory and the Bagua Terrace, the Supervisor widened his eyes and muttered
in a low voice, "This bastard dares to say anything. It's over, it's over..."
Emperor Yuan Jing looked back and asked, "Supervisor, what did you say?"
The Supervisor smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Xu Qi'an gave you a big gift."
Emperor Yuan Jing frowned, expressing his confusion. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
But the Supervisor did not answer him.
Wei Yuan slowly stood up, and in his hanging sleeves, his hands clenched into fists. He
seemed to have thought of something.
"Awesome..."
Wang Shoufu whispered.
Awesome?! Miss Wang looked at him in surprise and wanted to ask, but seeing her father's
focused attitude, she could only swallow her doubts.
"In the current Buddhist sect, strength is respected and grade is the root. The goal of every Buddhist practitioner is to achieve fruition, or arhat or bodhisattva. To put it bluntly, it is to save oneself. As for saving all living beings, it has to come later. Master Du'e, am I right?"
Master Du'e was silent for a while and put his hands together. This is tacit agreement.
"Therefore, I call this Hinayana Buddhism, which takes power as the supreme, takes rank as the root, and takes Buddha as Buddha." Xu Qi'an looked at the sky and said aloud:
"Master Du'e, all Buddhist monks, am I right?"
A monk retorted: "If this is Hinayana Buddhism, then, what is Mahayana Buddhism? Is it what you said that all sentient beings are Buddhas? This is simply absurd."
"You think it's absurd, because you are practicing Hinayana Buddhism, which still respects
rank in essence, which is self-interest. But what if the mind is supreme?"
"The mind is supreme?"
Master Du'e chanted the Buddha's name and put his hands together: "Please teach me,
donor."
"You think there is only one Buddha in the world, Buddha is Buddha, and people cannot
become Buddhas, they can only cultivate to become Bodhisattvas or Arhats. But, don't forget, is Buddha born a Buddha?" Xu Qi'an talked freely:
"I think everyone has Buddha nature, but they are just confused by the filthy air of the world.
But after practicing, everyone can see the self and become a Buddha.
"Master, seeing the nature is Buddha!"
Boom!
Suddenly, a thunderbolt struck the sky, and a faint sound of Sanskrit sounded.
Everyone was shocked to find that Master Du'e was shining with golden light, echoing the
strange phenomenon of heaven and earth.
In Buddhism, this is a sudden enlightenment.
Seeing the nature is Buddha, seeing the nature is Buddha... Master Du'e was immersed in a
wonderful state, intoxicated.
There was a voice in his heart shouting: Why is Buddha a Buddha, why can't I be a Buddha.
No, everyone can become a Buddha.
This Buddha is not the Buddha in the practice system, but the Buddha in the heart.
Xu Qian'an's words may only make sense to outsiders, but to people like Master Du'e who
have practiced Buddhism for many years, it is simply deafening.
Can Buddha really only be based on power?
Can Buddha really only be Buddha?
How narrow-minded this is.
If this is the case, then the Buddha's light shining on the nine states is just empty talk. Only
when everyone can become a Buddha can the nine states be truly illuminated by the Buddha's
light.
This is the true Dharma.
Buddha represents the pinnacle of the Buddhist system, but the Dharma should not be limited
to the Buddha.
The concept of Mahayana Buddhism appeared, and a new school of thought appeared.....
Other monks did not have sudden enlightenment, but they had their own insights, and even
felt suddenly enlightened, glimpsed different Dharmas, and glimpsed new realms of thought. Among them, Master Jingchen was the most touched, as if he was intoxicated.
In the night watchman area, the golden gongs suddenly heard a low laugh, coming from Wei
Yuan who walked out of the shed.
"Good enlightenment, good enlightenment!" Wei Yuan said word by word. "Excellent, excellent!" Wang Shoufu stroked his beard and laughed.
What does it mean? What's so funny about these two powerful ministers? Is Master Du'e's
enlightenment something worth celebrating?
Although Buddhism and Dafeng are allies, the atmosphere is tense at the moment. They
compete with each other and fight, and they are also half enemies.
The civil and military officials do not think this is something worth celebrating.
On the top of the star-gazing building, the Bagua platform. Emperor Yuan Jing laughed loudly, more joyful than ever before.
"Xu Qiyan proposed the concept of Mahayana Buddhism. It would be fine if Master Du'e
didn't have an epiphany. Since he did, he would definitely promote Mahayana Buddhism when he returns to the Western Regions.
"And this will inevitably cause a conflict of ideas between Mahayana Buddhism and
Mahayana Buddhism. At that time, endless arguments are the least of it. Once a split
occurs...hahahaha."
He hasn't laughed so happily in many years.
Only when the two sides are evenly matched can they become allies. When one side becomes
stronger and stronger and the other side becomes weaker and weaker, they will inevitably be in a state of disunity.
This is the current situation between Dafeng and Buddhism. The border of Dafeng is harassed by the barbarians from the north and south, and Buddhism stands by and watches.
If Buddhism splits in the future, both sides of the split will strive for Dafeng to support
themselves. Dafeng can not only improve its status, but also make profits.
"What the Supervisor said is right. It is indeed a great gift. Very good. I am very satisfied with
this great gift from Xu Qiyan."
In the pergola, many nobles looked up in astonishment and looked at the roof of the Sitianjian
Building.
"Is that your majesty's laughter?!"
"What are you laughing at, Your Majesty? What's so funny about this? It's strange. Duke Wei
and Prime Minister Wang are so abnormal, and Your Majesty is also so abnormal."
"Mahayana Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism..."
Monk Hengyuan was intoxicated and muttered to himself: "I can also become a Buddha, a
martial monk can also become a Buddha, and everyone in the world can become a Buddha.
Save all living beings, and the knowledgeable nature is the Buddha."
"What did the dog slave say?"
Bian Bian opened her eyes wide and looked at Huai Qing. She knew he was very powerful, but
she just didn't understand, so she could only ask the knowledgeable Huai Qing.
"I don't know what he said, but I do know what the consequences will be." Huai Qing said.
"Consequences?" Bian Bian blinked her peach blossom eyes.
"From now on, Buddhism will be divided into Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism.
"Huaiqing smiled.
At the same time, Xu Erlang explained to the Jinluo: "From now on, Buddhism will be divided
into Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism."
The Jinluo's eyes widened instantly. They didn't need to explain too clearly, they already
knew the meaning behind Xu Xinnian's words. They also knew why Duke Wei laughed.
Jiang Luzhong was very surprised. His voice was very low and trembling, and it was a
trembling of excitement: "This, this, Buddhism is in trouble. What did Xu Ningyan do? What did he do? Hahahaha."
In just a few words, he divided Buddhism into Mahayana and Hinayana...... Xu Ningyan did
something extraordinary..... Lord Wei, did you expect all this?
The eyes of the ordinary-looking woman suddenly lit up. She hated Buddhism, and hated it very much. So she specially sent a sixth-grade warrior to compete with Monk Jingsi. The purpose was to suppress the arrogance of Buddhism.
Unfortunately, the people under her were not up to the task. Not only did they not accomplish
anything, but they became the stepping stone of the other party.
Today, she was mixed in the night watchman area to watch the fight. On the one hand, she
wanted to watch the Buddhists get humiliated and fail in the fight.
Xu Qian'an has not won yet, but this surprise is enough for the woman to go home and roll happily on the bed.
He is really capable... The woman thought.
At this time, some nobles slowly chewed out the mystery, and their eyes widened, as if they
saw a gorgeous beauty stripped naked and waiting on the bed.
That kind of surprise and ecstasy is hard to conceal.
When the civil and military officials looked at Xu Qian'an again, their eyes were different.
Although this man was a member of the eunuch party and was annoying, they had to admit
that he could always bring surprises to people.
When he took action in everything, people actually felt at ease.
