Chapter 65: New Schools of Thought(2/2)

This is the default.

"Therefore, with power as the honor, grade as the root, and Buddha as the Buddha, I call this Hinayana Buddhism." Xu Qian looked at the sky and said loudly:

"Master Du'e, distinguished Buddhist monks, are what I said correct?"

A monk retorted: "If this is Hinayana Buddhism, then what is Mahayana Buddhism? Are you saying that all living beings are Buddhas? This is simply absurd."

"You may find it absurd. That's because you practice Hinayana Buddhism. In essence, you still respect your rank. This is self-interest. But what if you respect your heart?"

"Heart is the most important thing?"

Master Du'e recited the Buddha's name and clasped his hands together: "Please give me some advice."

"You think there is only one Buddha in the world, and the Buddha is the Buddha. It is impossible for a person to become a Buddha. He can only achieve the status of a Bodhisattva or an Arhat. But don't forget, is the Buddha a Buddha from birth?" Xu Qi'an spoke eloquently:

"I think everyone has Buddha nature, but they are just confused by the filthy atmosphere of the world. But after practicing and seeing themselves, everyone can become a Buddha.

"Master, you are the Buddha after seeing your nature!"

Boom!

Suddenly a thunder struck in the sky, and faint Sanskrit sounds sounded.

Everyone was shocked to find that Master Due's body was shining with golden light, echoing the visions of heaven and earth.

In Buddhism, this is enlightenment.

Seeing the Buddha's nature, seeing the Buddha's nature...Master Du'e was immersed in a wonderful state, as if intoxicated.

There was a voice shouting in his heart: Why is Buddha the Buddha, and why can't I be the Buddha?

No, everyone can become a Buddha.

This Buddha is not a Buddha in the practice system, but a Buddha in the heart.

Xu Qian's words may seem reasonable to outsiders, but to the ears of Master Du'e, who has practiced Buddhism for many years, they are simply deafening.

Can Buddha really only be judged by his strength?

Can a Buddha really only be a Buddha?

How narrow-minded this is.

If this is the case, then the Buddha's light shining all over Kyushu is an empty talk. Only when everyone can become a Buddha can the Buddha's light truly shine across Kyushu.

This is the true Dharma.

Buddha represents the pinnacle of the Buddhist system, but Buddhism should not be limited to Buddha.

The concept of Mahayana Buddhism appeared, and new schools of thought emerged...

...........

The other monks did not have an epiphany, but they had their own insights. They even felt enlightened and had a glimpse of different Buddhist teachings and a new realm of thought.

Among them, Master Jingchen was the most deeply touched and felt as if he was intoxicated.

In the watchman area, the golden gongs suddenly heard low laughter, coming from Wei Yuan who was walking out of the pergola.

"The enlightenment is good, the enlightenment is good!" Wei Yuan said word by word.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Wang Shoufu stroked his beard and smiled.

What do you mean? What's so funny about these two extremely powerful ministers? Master Du'e's sudden enlightenment, is that something worth being happy about?

Although Buddhism and Dafeng are allies, the atmosphere is tense at the moment. They are competing with each other and fighting each other. They are also half enemies.

Civil and military officials did not think this was something worth being happy about.

On the top of the stargazing tower, there is the Bagua platform.

Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty laughed loudly, with unprecedented joy.

"Xu Qi'an proposed the concept of Mahayana Buddhism. It's fine that Master Du'e didn't have an epiphany. Now that he has an epiphany, he will definitely promote Mahayana Buddhism when he returns to the Western Regions one day.

"And this will inevitably lead to a conflict between the concepts of Buddhism and Dharma. At that time, it will be trivial to argue. Once there is a division...hahahaha."

He hasn't laughed so freely in many years.

Only when we are evenly matched can we become allies. When one side becomes stronger and stronger, and the other side becomes weaker and weaker, they will inevitably become different from each other.

Dafeng and Buddhism are in such a state now. Dafeng's border gate is being harassed by barbarians from the north and south, while Buddhism stands idly by.

If there is a split in Buddhism in the future, both sides of the split will strive for great support to support themselves. Great support can not only improve their status, but also be profitable.

"Jian Zheng is right. It is indeed a great gift. It is very good. I am very satisfied with this gift from Xu Qi'an."

In the pergola, many nobles raised their heads in astonishment and looked at the roof of Si Tianjian.

"That's His Majesty's laughter?!"

"Your Majesty, what are you laughing at? What's so funny about this? It's strange that Wei Gong and Wang's chief assistant are so abnormal, and your Majesty is also so abnormal."

...........

"Mahayana Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism..."

Monk Hengyuan was so intoxicated that he murmured to himself: "I can become a Buddha, a warrior monk can become a Buddha, and everyone in the world can become a Buddha. He can save all sentient beings and become a Buddha with knowledge."

"What did the dog slave say?"

Diaoyang looked at Huaiqing with wide eyes. She knew he was very powerful, but she just didn't understand. She could only ask Huaiqing, who was well-informed.

"I don't know what he said, but I do know what the consequences will be," Huaiqing said.

"Consequences?" Dian Dian blinked her peach blossom eyes.

"From then on, Buddhism was divided into Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism." Huaiqing showed a smile.

At the same time, Xu Erlang explained to the golden gongs: "From now on, Buddhism will be divided into Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism."

The golden gongs' eyes widened instantly. There was no need to explain too clearly, they already knew the meaning of Xu New Year's words.

I also know why Guild Wei laughed.

Jiang Lvzhong was extremely surprised. His voice was low and trembling with excitement: "This, this, Buddhism is in trouble. What did Xu Ningyan do? What did he do? Hahahaha."

In just a few words, Buddhism was divided into Mahayana and Hinayana...Xu Ningyan did an incredible thing...Wei Gong, is all this what you expected?

The ordinary-looking woman's eyes suddenly lit up. She hated Buddhism, very much. So she specially sent a sixth-grade warrior to compete with Monk Jingsi.

The purpose is to suppress the arrogance of Buddhism.

It's a pity that the people under his command failed to live up to expectations. Instead of accomplishing anything, they became a stepping stone for the other party.

Today, she was hanging out in the watchman's area to watch the fights and join in the fun. On the one hand, she wanted to see the Buddhists suffer and see them fail in the fight.

Xu Qian hasn't won yet, but this surprise is enough for the woman to go home and roll around happily on the bed.

He is really capable... the woman thought.

At this time, some among the nobles slowly figured out the mystery, and their eyes widened, as if they saw a stunning beauty stripped naked and waiting on the bed.

The surprise and ecstasy were hard to conceal.

When the civil and military officials looked at Xu Qi'an again, their eyes were different. Although this man was an eunuch and was annoying, they had to admit that he could always bring surprises to people.

Having him take care of everything makes people feel at ease.

PS: These chapters are indeed written slowly, please don’t scold me, you all can see how stubborn I am. The slowness of writing is a problem of my ability, not my attitude. The fact that I work so hard every day shows my sincerity.

You can scold a genius for not making progress and having fun all day long, but you cannot scold a person with mediocre talent who is diligent and stays up all night coding.

My slow coding is not because I am insincere, but because I am bloated, it is really a matter of my personal ability. I am actually not very good at writing such big scenes to show off, I am good at writing about daily life.

This book is trying to transform, so I am not familiar with many writing methods, and I don’t know much about Buddhism, and I am afraid of causing big holes in logic, so I write very carefully, and the writing is very stuck, really.

Moreover, starting from the battle of wits, I wrote 27,000 words in three days. On average, 9,000 words a day, which is not a small amount. It feels like it has surpassed most full-time writers.

So I’m actually quite sad to see the comments section being updated every day. Because I really tried my best, tried my best...
Chapter completed!
