Chapter 363 The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism(2/2)

"Oh, it turns out that the person who gives the rice is a predestined person, and the one who doesn't give the rice is not a predestined person. So, Master, if a bad person robs a good person of rice and gives it to you, is he considered a predestined person or an undestined person?"

"This... when he took rice from a good person, he had already committed evil. Even if he gave the rice to a poor monk, he would not be considered a destined person."

"Buddhism teaches that you should put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. After snatching the rice from a perfect person, he had already put down the butcher's knife and gave alms to the Buddha to form a bond. Why can't he be considered a predestined person?"

Master Kuchan frowned slightly. He was not as calm and calm as he was at the beginning, but his tone was still calm and confident.

"Real person, this is sophistry. Putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately does not mean such a quick thing. Putting down the butcher's knife does not refer to a real butcher's knife. It means that you must give up evil deeds from the bottom of your heart before you can become a Buddha."

Xiao Feng smiled slightly: "Since there is a difference in how fast you put down the butcher knife, how long will it take to put it down before it can be considered as giving up the evil deeds from the bottom of your heart?"

"This is a change in a person's heart. It cannot be judged by time. I naturally know whether he has truly put down his butcher's knife."

"I would like to ask Master, can a person with resentment become a Buddha?"

"Having resentment in your heart has cause and effect, and you cannot escape the six paths of reincarnation and become a Buddha."

"The master means the person who puts down the butcher's knife,

One can become a Buddha immediately and go to the bliss of the Western Heaven. However, those who die under his butcher's knife cannot escape the six paths of reincarnation because of their resentment, and cannot become a Buddha. Is that so?"

Master Kuchan's brows furrowed even more tightly. This is true in theory, but there are too many Buddhist teachings involved, so subtle and mysterious that they can't be explained clearly in a sentence or two.

But the people in the hall are not monks who study Buddhist scriptures carefully. How can they understand this truth? Xiao Feng's current problem, even if he wanted to explain it, he couldn't explain it clearly.

"What the real person said is indeed true. But all living beings suffer, and injustice is repaid. This is the reason for the six paths of reincarnation. Only by letting go of resentment can we escape from reincarnation and go to bliss."
