Chapter 369 Western Buddhism
So at this time I couldn't help asking: "What's going on in this world about me?"
"Have you ever told you?" Beggaro asked in surprise.
"There is really no such thing. She told me that the old man riding a green bull came here and challenged the world invincible, and then left, as if it was a sightseeing trip. It was also like the Dragon Clan Heavenly Lord that was the old man riding a bull to grow up after teaching things." I said.
"That's probably what it is. Whether the Tianzun was trained by the old man riding a bull is speculated by the world, but the relationship between the dragon clan and the old man riding a bull is true. Although the old man riding a bull came to this world last time, it was a thousand years ago, but that time it really scared all the masters of this world. So this time, the dragon clan seemed to have used the remaining tribe's life essence to protect the Oriental Dragon Island. In fact, no one could tell what was going on. What if the old man riding a bull protected the last root of the dragon clan? If it weren't for this, even if the barriers were blocked by the life essence, the people of Sifang City would have already found a way to attack, and they would be the best at killing the roots." Beggar Zi said.
I also have a great deterrent force in this world, but it is not because of his identity as the Heavenly Lord of Deity, but because of the challenges here for thousands of years. Nangong Li's words undoubtedly gave me a new understanding. But since the conversation has been opened, and now two powerful people from the world have come to solve my doubts, I asked: "Did that old man riding a bull come to this world last time, did he just challenge the world?"
"It seems that's it. He challenged the lord of Sifang City, challenged the lord of the wilderness, and challenged the North Sea Monster King, and went all the way west. Just when everyone thought he was going to break the heads of the bald donkeys in the West, he stopped outside Mount Sumeru and did not go west. Finally, he rode a cow and returned, and then the dragon clan migrated to the east. As a result, after migrating to the east, the Heavenly Lord rose and became a generation of strong people." Nangong Li said.
"You seem to have any objections to monks in the Western Regions? Call them bald donkeys?" I asked. This is another question that has troubled me. In fact, Buddhism has many branches in our world. The most obvious thing is that the Mahayana Buddhism in the mainland is different from the Tibetan Buddhism I have seen in Tibet, including Thailand, India, Nepal, etc., but it is not different from the sect in every situation, and the general difference is not very big, especially in the doctrine.
And the Buddhism in the Tianyuan Continent sounds like Mount Sumeru, and it is also a slaughter. I just don’t know if it has anything to do with Buddhism on Earth?
"Why can't they be called bald donkeys? They are just a bunch of bald donkeys who are full of compassion but have a lot of bad water. They can't scold them?" said Beggar.
"What? Do you have any conflicts with them?" I asked.
"No, it's just that I don't like them." Beggaro said.
"Actually, he disliked them because the Northern Sea Monster King Zhulong, their previous generation, converted to the West and became a monk. Especially now, he knows that his beloved woman was also taken away by monks from the Western Regions. It would be strange if he could like them." At this time, Miss Bai directly exposed him.
"What's the situation?" I asked.
"I don't know, it's still a mystery. In short, those monks are very strange. Their scriptures seem to have mysterious magic power. If you are a powerful god-level man, you will be unable to extricate yourself once you are obsessed with their way. This girl is right. Zhulong has indeed converted to the Western Regions. Even if he sees his people suffering, he is indifferent. He eats vegetarian food and chants the Buddha's name all day long. So I have no favor for them. Since it is compassionate to save all living beings, he can accept Zhulong's refuge, but why don't he help him when the North Sea monster tribe suffers?" Beggar seemed to have a lot of opinions.
When beggar said this, I understood why he had such a big opinion on Western Buddhism. I said, "What did their Buddhist boss call? Tathagata Buddha, or Amitabha Buddha?" I asked.
"Yes, that's Amitabha. There are actually very few connections between the East and the West. Before the Heavenly Lord, the West seemed to be a peaceful place compared to the East. The people of the West sincerely worshiped the Buddha, and there were also Buddhas chanting scriptures and praying for the people. Therefore, many people in the East and the West wanted to migrate to the West to convert to Amitabha. However, after the Heavenly Lord rose, the East and the West divided the boundaries. The Heavenly Lord even set up a barrier at the junction between the East and the West with supreme divine power and sent heavy troops to guard it. Unless there was a handwritten by the Heavenly Lord, the bald donkeys would definitely be allowed to come to the East to preach. After the Heavenly Lord fell, although the guard was slightly loose, the Sifangcheng also knew the priority of the matter. Unless it was important, the bald donkeys were still not allowed to reach the East. However, even if they came, they would need to hand over various documents and the procedures were complicated." Beggarzi said.
According to what Beggar said, this is actually a bit like the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in ancient China, but the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in ancient China was just a dispute between incense. Because this is different from any dynasty in Chinese history, the dispute does not seem to be that simple, because it even involves the virtue of the Heavenly Venerable, one of the ancestors of the Three Pure Land of Taoism.
When I came to this Tianyuan Continent, I did not go to the West. I just took a look outside Mount Sumeru. After I came back, I taught the disciple of Tianzun to come out?
There must be some connection between this. With my ability to understand the sky and the earth, if he discovers some secrets of Western Buddhism, why don’t he stop it directly, but just wait and see? Could it be that there are things in Western Buddhism in the Tianyuan Continent that I have to be afraid of?
I remember all the mysteries of this in my heart.
At this moment, I suddenly felt the white girl laughing at me. Her sudden smile made me furrowed all over my body, and I asked, "Why are you laughing at?"
"I heard from Sister Liu that there was a Thousand-Handed Guanyin who had been chasing you to your world, and there was also a young man with unknown identity. After returning, I thought about all the well-known masters in the world based on the appearance described by Sister Liu, but they could not think of who that person was. Do you still understand? In fact, in the battle to destroy the Heavenly Lord in Sifang City, the bald donkeys in the West must have also made some efforts. Although those bald donkeys are not likable, they cannot deny their strength. According to legend, they have eight Dharma protectors, and the demon king Zhulong is only among the eight heavenly kings. This means that they have at least eight, or even more powerful god-level people. But if you go to the west, you can only have a few if you don't have the barrier of the Heavenly Lord back then, you may have a lot of people who recite Amitabha Buddha." Miss Bai said.
As the conversation deepened, I learned more and more about the world, but I also felt more and more mysteries, especially me and the West Amitabha Buddha.
Beggar has a very poor impression of the West. If he put aside the prejudices in his words, I still feel that Buddhism in this world is different from Buddhism in our world. A demon king in the North Sea and a powerful man from the divine level can actually do the work of abandoning his clans and going to the West to practice Buddhism. This always makes me feel a bit like a cult.
In the end, none of us has a good impression of Buddhism, even people from Sifangcheng. They may have received help from Buddhism in the battle with the Heavenly Lord, but they also stayed away from it.
"If you see these bald donkeys in the future, run as fast as possible. Don't look at them smiling at you. In fact, they are the ones who want to kill you the most." Beggarko said.
We finally ended this topic, and this matter was not particularly complicated. The main reason is that when I think of the Buddhists here, my head will be short-circuited, and I will always overlap the Buddhism here with the Buddhism on the earth. This is a very distressing issue.
"The situation is now like this. What should we do next? Assist Aoki Castle?" I asked at the end.
"If the people of the demon clan know that their peerless genius Nangong Li is still alive, they can definitely gather their hearts. Qingmu City is on the North Sea, and the Siren Clan is just a group of dragons without leaders to fight each other. If Nangong Li goes back, it will naturally be worthy of the four-way city on the sea. Therefore, Nangong Li is enough for those who can break the siege of Qingmu City." Miss Bai smiled.
"Why, you drag me into this muddy water and you are going to run away?" Beggar glared at the white girl and said.
