Long before this debate began, Chaoge Taoist, civil and military generals, and even strangers from all sides had arrived in Chaoge and was ready to watch this discussion.
At this moment, Yin Jiao had already arranged his troops and led all civil and military officials, concubines and relatives to Lutai.
Members of other different sects, large and small, all went to the city to listen to the lecture.
Looking around, I saw the Thousand-Five Deer Platform standing on Chaoge Ancient City. It was really a star divided into Yizhen, and the earth connected to Henglu. The three rivers were surrounded by five lakes, and the barbarian Jing was controlled and Ouyue was attracted.
All the immortal families in the Immortal Dynasty have arrived, including the fairy clothes and spiritual treasures, the golden light shooting of the bullfight, the Daluo Gods, and the three flowers bloom and close.
This spectacular scene is almost as good as the preaching of Hongjun Zixiao Palace in the past.
On the deer platform.
Yin Jiao was the main person, sitting in the chief position, a girl in white stood with a sword beside her, but it was Concubine Su.
Beside him, old ministers such as Kong Xuan, Styx, Jiang Ziya were standing.
In less than a while, many immortals rushed over like flowing water.
The Holy Mother of the Jinling, Wudang, Turtle Spirit, Sanxiao Empress, the Six Immortals, the Guangchengzi, the Red Sperm, the Jade Ding Zhenren, the True Lord of Qingxu Daode, the Yin Emperor of the Underworld, Huang Feihu, the King of Ksitigarbha,
Asura Sect Tianfei Umo and her husband Maishun brought the seventy-two Asura princesses, Western Buddhism Xiaomaitre led the Dashizhi, Manjushri, Guanyin, Samantabhadra and others to arrive one after another.
Most of these people have met. Some were brothers before, while others were enemies. But now hundreds of years have passed since the Great Tribulation of the Gods. In addition, some time ago, we have been fighting against the Demon Kingdom together, and we have temporarily put aside our enemies and pointed each other's grudges.
Nodding and saying hello, I took my seat.
Yin Jiao sat in the first seat and did not say hello to the immortal.
He is now the Great Emperor of the Middle Heaven and North Pole, and he is in charge of Ziwei Palace. His magic power is becoming increasingly powerful and his identity is beyond the reach of before.
Concubine Su stood beside him, with a faint smile on her face, thinking that she didn't know if anyone could see my identity today, or would she wear a veil to hide her face.
Although gods can easily see through the veil, Concubine Su was the former concubine Su Mo, with profound magic power. If she wanted to hide her face, few people in the world could see it.
Secondly, Concubine Su is obviously from Yin Jiao, and Yin Jiao is Zishou's son, so naturally he is not as brave as the gods and immortals to peek at Concubine Su.
Yin Jiao thought to himself: "Today's debate on Taoism and Buddhism, although I am not from Taoism and Buddhism, my teacher is a Taoist sect, and I have received a lot of gratitude. On the debate stage, I tend to care about Taoism."
There is always a party who is the referee in debates.
The debate on Buddhism and Taoism in history either uses Confucianism as the judge or the emperor as the judge. If the referee is determined to favor one side, the other side will naturally lose more than win or less.
Of course, if Buddhism argues that the Taoist has nothing to say and is willing to admit defeat, even if the referee is willing to be biased, there is no way.
In Hongmeng Realm, Zishou sat in the air, but his eyes looked at the Lutai, feeling thoughtful.
In the world he lives in, the influence is relatively huge, and the more famous ones are the fourteen major debates on Buddhism and Taoism.
Among them, Taoism loses more than wins.
Among them, there are reasons why the emperor, who is a judge, prefers Buddhism, and there are reasons why Taoists are not good at debate and Buddhist monks are very good at sophistry.
The most impressive time Zi was the debate about Taoism, Buddhism, who was the first and who was the last. At that time, Taoist Jiang Bin quoted the "Laozi's Creation Sutra" and believed that Laozi turned Hu into Buddha and Buddha served as Laozi's servant.
Later, the Buddhist county did not quote "The Story of Zhou" and "The Internal Biography of the Han Dharma Book" to prove that the Buddha was born before Lao Tzu, and finally refuted Jiang Bin's argument and proved that Lao Tzu's Creation of the Heavenly Sutra was forged by Jiang Bin.
Dun didn't know that these three scriptures were all forged, but Emperor Xiaoming of the Northern Wei Dynasty was biased towards Buddhism and only investigated the authenticity of the "Laozi Kaitian Sutra" and sentenced Taoism to lose.
And the saying about Lao Tzu's transformation of nonsense - refers to Lao Tzu's transformation into Buddha Shakyamuni.
Most people think that Laozi Hua Hu was a story made up by Taoism to overwhelm Buddhism. In fact, according to later scholars, Laozi Hua Hu Hu was not only made up by Taoism, but was made up by Buddhism itself in order to preach China.
Because Buddhism was introduced to China since ancient times, but it was rejected by the Chinese. In order to make the Chinese people better accept Buddhism, some monks fabricated this story.
That is to say, Lao Tzu went out of Hangu Pass, rode a ox into India, and entered Princess Sudhodon's belly, and was reincarnated as Sakyamuni, pointing one hand to the sky and the other hand to the earth, saying: I am the only one who is above and below the sky.
After that, Taoism felt that since Buddhism was willing to admit that Sakyamuni was the incarnation of Lao Tzu, it was also happy to accept it.
In general, in history, most Taoism failed in the debate on Buddhism and Taoism.
Zishou thought to himself how could the true Buddha use sophistry to force the truth? If a Taoist priest who truly practices Taoism, how could he argue with the monk with a blushing face and thick neck?
What is the Taoist seeking? It is just becoming an immortal and living.
The only purpose is to cultivate and become an immortal, and to live and die.
A true Taoist may be forced to do anything or seek the times, otherwise he would not have made any sophistry with the monk.
Above the deer platform.
The immortals whispered.
There are also Asura Sect, Sanxian, and Demons present, who do not care about who loses and who wins.
At this moment, an old monk stood with a single palm on his feet and slowly descended on the golden lotus. On the shoulders of the eagle, there was a smaller Garuda standing on the eagle.
"Here he is Sakyamuni!"
"This person has such a profound cultivation level. With my Golden Immortal cultivation level, I can't see through it!"
"Is the bird on his shoulder Garula who ate several cities that day?"
"Do all the monks in the Peacock Continent have such a deep cultivation level? What exactly is the Peacock Continent like?"
"It is said to be a world that is very similar to the prehistoric world!"
"This person is also called Sakyamuni... but he doesn't look like a senior brother at all, he looks very old!"
"Yuan Hong wants to debate with this person, and he feels that this person has a very profound cultivation!"
"It's not that Yuan Hong debated with him, it's a Taoist sect! Have you not discovered that the Chan Sect, except for the leader of the Jie Sect, have many other immortals come?"
The immortals whispered.
At this time, Sakyamuni slowly stepped onto the deer platform, and the golden lotus under his feet slowly disappeared.
Shenying is restrained!
At this moment, Sakyamuni took back all the aura on his body, just like an ordinary old monk, without any fluctuations in his cultivation!
Concubine Su stood behind Yin Jiao, looked at Sakyamuni, and said intimately, "Sakamuni, one of the incarnations of Vishnu... This person's cultivation is no worse than that of me in his heyday. Buddhism should be extremely profound.
If you want to debate with him, I'm afraid..."
"The old monk Sakyamuni, come to Lutai to argue with the Taoist!" Sakyamuni said loudly.
The voice slowly came out, but Yuan Hong still hadn't arrived!
Everyone looked at each other.
Guangchengzi took a step and said loudly: "The Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things, Tao gives birth to all things! The Tao is the only one among heaven and earth! Buddhism is the last! The monks want to spread the prehistoric world, but they are afraid they won't do it!"
Shakyamuni immediately said, "Since the Tao gives birth to all things, may I ask, is this Tao knowledge or ignorance?"
...
In order to write this debate on Buddhism and Taoism, I checked a lot of information and read the books, and most of them were classical Chinese... I really had a headache reading it, and I was full of Buddhist and Taoist ideas.
