What is Buddha?
Ye Qingyun was speechless for a while.
How could he remember that this question seemed to have been asked by someone a long time ago?
But I couldn't remember it for a while.
But Ye Qingyun felt a little speechless.
Why do these monks like to ask such weird questions?
What is Buddha?
Isn’t the Buddha the Buddha?
What else could it be?
Is it your second uncle?
I study this kind of thing all day long.
There is no positive energy at all.
If you have this free time, you might as well think more about serious matters.
For example, the joyful Zen mentioned just now.
This looks very positive!
Of course, Ye Qingyun could only murmur these words in his stomach.
But I dare not really say it.
Otherwise, these monks must be beaten up.
Ye Qingyun pretended to think for a while.
"Well, I think what a Buddha is depends on each person."
The old Buddha was startled.
"It varies from person to person?"
Everyone else present also showed doubts.
It seems that he did not expect that Ye Qingyun would say such a thing.
Ye Qingyun nodded.
"Yes, Buddha is actually everywhere."
"The floating white clouds, the gurgling water, and the fallen leaves are actually Buddhas."
"In my eyes, Buddha can be everything."
"In your eyes, the Buddha may be just a statue of Buddha."
"In the eyes of ordinary believers, Buddha is an omnipotent existence."
Ye Qingyun smiled.
"Look, what a Buddha is, doesn't it vary from person to person?"
At these words, Xuance and the four great Buddhas all looked shocked.
Especially Xuance.
A look of shock appeared on his face.
It seemed that he had heard someone say these words before when he was reincarnated hundreds of years ago.
Xuance remembered that he was an old man who traveled in the yellow sand.
Monk once gave Xuance a few words of advice.
It's similar to what Ye Qingyun said just now.
"The words of the Holy Son are like enlightenment, which makes the poor monks and others gain great understanding!"
A Buddha stood up and bowed to Ye Qingyun with admiration on his face.
"No, no, it's just a very shallow knowledge. I'm rude in front of all the masters."
Ye Qingyun also hurriedly returned the gift, looking very respectful.
When Xuance and the four great Buddhas saw this, they were secretly amazed.
This holy son of Buddhism clearly understands the profoundness of Buddhism, but is too humble.
It makes people feel a little emotional.
Perhaps the more advanced a person is, the more he knows how to be humble.
Xuance and the four great Buddhas were secretly afraid of Ye Qingyun.
They originally thought that although this Ye Qingyun was a holy son of Buddhism, he had never practiced true Buddhism after all.
When it comes to Buddhist cultivation, it is definitely very general.
Even if he had ever defeated an eminent Buddhist monk in Buddhist theory, it was probably mostly due to luck.
But now I look at it.
Ye Qingyun really has something in his belly.
"Been taught a lesson."
The old Buddha also paid homage to Ye Qingyun.
"The poor monk asked the Holy Son again, why do we Buddhist practitioners have to abide by the precepts and strictly follow the Buddhist rules?"
"What's the point?"
Another tricky question.
Ye Qingyun naturally didn't know how to answer.
But after thinking about it for a moment, he came up with a way to deal with it.
"This meaning actually means that it exists and it doesn't exist."
Ye Qingyun said lightly.
Everyone was startled again.
What does it mean to say that there is, and to say that there is not, there is not?
What about playing charades?
"Oh? Please forgive me, Holy Son."
The old Buddha narrowed his eyes slightly and asked
road.
Ye Qingyun's answer was too vague.
In the opinion of the old Buddha, this was entirely because Ye Qingyun was perfunctory, and he definitely didn't know how to answer his question.
Ye Qingyun smiled and didn't panic at all.
"The existence of precepts is to restrain Buddhist people, so that Buddhist people can cultivate their moral character, eliminate unnecessary thoughts, and focus entirely on practice."
Everyone nodded.
What Ye Qingyun said is right...
This is the meaning of the existence of precepts.
It is not only a restriction, but also something that urges monks to practice.
"The body is like a bodhi tree and the mind is like a mirror."
"Brush it diligently at all times and don't let it attract dust."
Ye Qingyun casually said a piece of Buddhist scripture.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out of his mouth, Xuance and the four great Buddhas all changed their expressions.
Because this passage is one of the highest Buddhist scriptures.
Both Xuance and the Four Great Buddhas are aware of the existence of this passage and have gained a lot of insights from it.
But except for the five of them, no other monks in the Buddhist country knew this passage.
But now, it was said directly from Ye Qingyun's mouth.
How could this not shock the five Xuance people?
"Holy Son, how do you know this verse?"
The old Buddha asked in disbelief.
Ye Qingyun was a little dazed.
"This verse is very common. Don't you know?"
very normal?
The corners of the mouths of Xuance and the Four Buddhas twitched.
This was what Master Xuanzang found after three years of searching among the ruins of Chaotian Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
The establishment of the Buddhist Kingdom has a great relationship with this verse.
Xuance and the four great Buddhas regard it as the highest secret of the Buddhist kingdom.
But in Ye Qingyun's mouth, it turned out to be very ordinary?
"Holy Son, please be careful what you say. This verse is of great significance to our Buddhist country. Although I don't know where the Holy Son learned it, I still ask the Holy Son not to blaspheme!"

The old Buddha looked angry.
Ye Qingyun was a little embarrassed.
How did he know that this verse was so important in the eyes of these people?
Ye Qingyun thought it was a Buddhist verse from the bad streets.
"Well, let me continue with the question just now."
Ye Qingyun quickly brought the topic back.
Because he found that Xuance and the four great Buddhas were staring at him with cannibalistic eyes.
It made Ye Qingyun feel scared.
"As the verse says, a practitioner is like a Bodhi tree, and his mind should be like a bright mirror."
"It must be wiped off all the time to prevent it from being contaminated by dirt and covering up its bright nature."
"This is what Buddhist precepts do."
Ye Qingyun paused and then said.
"But, the precepts are not certain. Some practitioners will not follow the precepts, but regard them as nothing."
"Even so, such a person can still cultivate and become a Buddha."
The old Buddha's eyes widened.
"Absolutely ridiculous!"
"How can you become a Buddha without following the precepts? It's so ridiculous. How could the Holy Son say such ridiculous things?"
Ye Qingyun scratched his head.
"Is it ridiculous?"
"It's a bit ridiculous indeed."
Xuance also spoke out.
Ye Qingyun showed doubts.
"Have you ever heard of another verse?"
"Oh? Please give me some advice from the Holy Son."
Xuance showed a bit of curiosity.
The old Buddha also looked at Ye Qingyun coldly.
It seemed that he didn't believe that Ye Qingyun could say anything else to prove the nonsense he just said.
"No Bodhi tree, nor stand mirror."
"There is nothing in the first place, so where can we get dust?"
When Ye Qingyun said the last word.
Countless Buddha statues in the Buddhist Kingdom fell to the ground at this moment.
The entire Buddhist country was shocked!
