Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang Chapter 702: Compassion is the biggest misunderstanding that sentient beings in the three realms have about Tripitaka and his disciples; a dead demon is a good demon
Chapter 702: Compassion is the biggest misunderstanding that sentient beings in the three realms have about Tripitaka and his disciples; a dead demon is a good demon
The monsters in the Liangshan River are not monsters as the creatures of the three realms think.
They are not even demons, they can only be called ferocious beasts.
And such ferocious beasts have always only existed in Beiju Luzhou... They are rarely found in other places.
But now he happened to appear in the Liangshan River, and he had not shown any signs of his whereabouts before. It was difficult for Li Chunfeng not to be concerned about this matter.
Four of the six ferocious beasts died... Only the two that Zen Master Bajie carried ashore were still breathing, and there were no signs of complete loss of life... Zen Master Bajie was indeed from a Buddhist background. Even if he did not abstain from killing,
I will also keep mercy on my hands.
Just when Li Chunfeng thought so, he heard Zen Master Bajie say: "Sure enough, it is right to keep them alive... When he first entered the water, the poor monk realized that they were not ordinary monsters. Unexpectedly, they turned out to be
A ferocious beast from Luzhou, Beiju."
Saying that... Bajie looked at Li Chunfeng, "It's just that these ferocious beasts have no intelligence, and I'm afraid they can't communicate... Does Mr. Li have soul-searching spells? Let's see who brought them here."
As soon as these words came out, even the two young men who had just landed on the shore subconsciously took a step back. They said that the disciples of Sanzang Saint Buddha were not ordinary monks. Now that they look at it... they can say such words, they are really compassionate.
A monk who is pregnant?
On the other hand, San Sheng Sheng had heard a lot about Master Sanzang and his disciples from her second brother... Although she was not too surprised to hear what Zen Master Wu Neng said, she was still a little curious about the most unremarkable enlightenment back then.
Zen Master Neng seems to be a ruthless character now... He is definitely not a cook who is only responsible for three meals a day for the team as rumored.
Perhaps it was the radiance of Tripitaka Buddha and the Great Sage that made Zen Master Wu Neng look very ordinary.
San Sheng Sheng has also met Zen Master Wu Neng a few times, but to be honest... He has always felt very kind to me, and he doesn't seem like a dangerous person at all... But now it seems that he really can't be judged by his appearance.
But regarding this point, the goblins on the westbound journey must have shouted that it is impossible...Zhu Bajie, who looks more like a goblin than a goblin, even shouts "goblin" when he sees a goblin. Do you think he is very kind?
I'm afraid this is not just a matter of blindness, but a blind man at all, right?
But I'm afraid only those who know San Sheng Sheng know that she has always been able to look directly into the other person's heart, so she can often ignore the other person's appearance... It's just this ability that often makes San Sheng Shen, when getting along with others,
It will make you feel very tired...so in many cases, the Third Holy Mother will deliberately curb this ability.
Although this may cause her to be fooled occasionally, it can be regarded as a small way to relieve fatigue in her long life.
Moreover, with more knowledgeable people, even without the ability to see through the soul, the Third Holy Mother can always distinguish the good and evil of the other party very keenly.
In fact, the creatures in the three realms are usually relatively easy to distinguish in this regard...but there are no exceptions. There are often people with vicious faces who are considered evil people, while those with kind faces are considered good people.
But in reality, the opposite may often be true.
Of course, San Sheng Sheng also suffered from this in the beginning, but later she gained a good memory... and gradually became able to discern the other person's character from their speech and behavior.
Regarding this point, her disciple Li Zhenying was also very puzzled at first... She didn't understand why her master, who clearly had the ability to see through the other person's heart, had to seal this ability away and do such a thankless thing.
The Third Holy Mother said this, "Actually, for many things, being able to see through a person's heart is not a good thing... There is an old saying in the world that it is rare to be confused."
"You are still young now, so you may not understand the true meaning of it... When you live for hundreds or thousands of years like my teacher, you may have a different understanding."
Speaking of this, the Third Holy Mother also reminded Li Zhenying: "This is a thousand years in the world."
Li Zhenying is ignorant. Obviously, at her age, she cannot reach this level... And with her temperament, which is even worse than that of her brother Nezha, it is rare for her to be confused... It is better to kill her directly.
She came happily.
But even Nezha, after more than a thousand years of tempering, still regained his former character.
As for why he still shows an unstable side occasionally, in Yang Jian's words... Nezha's life was not practical for more than a thousand years, because for a long time during this period, he was in heaven.
The time spent in heaven is in the heaven, and one day in heaven is one year in the mortal world... It is really hard to calculate how old Nezha is.
However, although there is such a huge difference in the flow of time between heaven and earth, for practitioners, it is not a big advantage to practice in the human world.
Because the spiritual energy in the heaven is much richer than the human world... Even in some cave heavens, the results of one year of practice may not be as good as the results of one day of practice in heaven.
The reason why the monks' cave dojos are all in the lower realm is because for them, the need for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is no longer so important...On the contrary, time is more important, because "enlightenment" does not happen overnight.
.
Regarding the understanding of Taoism, you may not feel much difference between practicing for one year in the human world and practicing for one day in heaven. But if it is a hundred days in heaven and a hundred years in the mortal world...that is one hundred days.
The age difference.
If a thousand years in the mortal world were converted into a thousand days in heaven, it would be only three years and a few months... One thousand years of Taoism, the level of realm during this period cannot be compensated by magic power.
On the other hand, if a person's Taoist realm is advanced, he can feed back the magic power.
Just like Fahai, it was only through his two lifetimes of Buddhist practice that he could gather such powerful magic power in just a dozen years...as deep as the sea and the abyss.
On the contrary, just like a monk who has powerful magic power but does not have the corresponding Taoism and realm to control these magic powers, he will not be able to exert the expected effect of these magic powers.
"The soul-searching technique is a forbidden technique." Li Chunfeng listened to Bajie's words, but he answered the question incorrectly, "Did the Zen master also use the soul-searching technique on demons when he traveled west?"
"No." Bajie shook his head.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and said that their path should not be so wild.
But then I heard Zen Master Wu Neng say, "Because the poor monk is not good at studying, the master has always prohibited the poor monk from practicing such dangerous spells that touch the soul... Therefore, there is a need to use the soul-searching technique."
Sometimes, it’s Junior Brother Sha or Senior Brother who performs it... Oh, sometimes Master himself also performs it."
Everyone:...
Sure enough, compassion is the biggest misunderstanding that sentient beings in the three realms have about Tripitaka and his disciples, right?
Seeing this scene, it is not impossible for them to understand that the reputation of Master Tripitaka and his disciples in the Three Realms is polarized.
There is such a group of alien masters and disciples in Buddhism. The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Lingshan must also be very troubled by this, right?
"Amitabha."
Bajie clasped his hands together, "Master often says that compassion cannot save sentient beings in the three realms. We monks will give compassion to the good ones... For those evil ones, we should use thunder to get rid of them. Only in this way can we restore the purity of the three realms, and use
This is in answer to the prayers of those who are good.”
The Third Holy Mother on the side heard the words and felt something in her heart, "My father also said to me, repay evil with kindness, can you repay kindness? Repay evil with straightness, repay kindness with kindness... Perhaps, the two are the same."
Yang Tianyou is now a great scholar who governs Gongyang.
And he has opened a school at Guanjiangkou and started teaching disciples... The Third Holy Mother will occasionally attend.
In fact, the Third Holy Mother is not entirely a disciple of Taoism. Although she has been taught by Master Taiyi and Master Yuding, she has not officially become a disciple of Yuxu... Because she is in charge of the lotus lantern, she often
He is considered to be the descendant of the Wa Palace.
But the Third Holy Mother herself is still more interested in the knowledge of the human race itself.
At the Notre Dame Temple in Huashan, she also often studied the works of some human ancestors, most of which were Confucian classics.
In today's Three Realms, under the influence of the Jade Emperor, the trend of "unification of the three religions" has gradually emerged, which is even more convenient for monks like the Three Holy Mothers.
All in all, Zen Master Wu Neng's stance can make everyone present feel less worried.
After all... if they are fighting life and death here, a monk next to him is always talking about compassion, which is quite disturbing... Is it possible to say this to those monsters, if not
Demons harm people and do evil, so why do they come to slay them?
Are they inherently willing to get their hands stained with blood?
Therefore, why is it said that Master Tripitaka is an eminent monk who surpasses ordinary monks, and is even called a divine monk or a holy monk by all living beings in the three realms?
It's not that Master Tripitaka wouldn't stop them from killing animals when they encountered such a thing... but that while Master Tripitaka stopped them from killing animals, he would take action to save the demons himself and bear the sin of killing animals on his own body.
This may be the true compassion of Buddhism.
However, such a concept seems too advanced to be recognized by the majority of Buddhist channels. Therefore, the reputation of Tripitaka Buddha within Buddhism has always been mixed.
This is especially true for those monks who rely on superficial compassion to achieve "Bodhisattva" and "Buddha" status.
On the contrary, those Arhats and monks who were not yet considered to have obtained the "Great Fruition" or the "Zhengguo" were more willing to follow Master Tripitaka... It was these monks who followed him from Lingshan all the way to the Tang Dynasty.
Even on the opening day of Daci'en Temple, several Bodhisattvas and Buddhists who had good personal relationships with Tripitaka's masters and disciples came to watch the ceremony and congratulate them, but none of the other Bodhisattvas or Buddhists were present.
Of course, there is also a reason why Tripitaka's master and disciples did not send them invitations... Even if Daci'en Temple issued a statement that "the visitors are guests", these Bodhisattvas and Buddhas would not send them to Tripitaka themselves.
Build momentum.
Under the influence of Tripitaka Buddha, his disciples certainly share the same thoughts as him.
Sins are absolutely unforgivable. As for reforming, it is not impossible. The premise is that the other party's sins are not serious enough to lead to death. Otherwise, there is no need to talk about it, and there is only one way to be completely forgiven.
It was like the group of robbers Fa Hai met when he rescued the Great Sage from the foot of Wuzhi Mountain and stayed overnight at a fellow villager's house at the foot of the mountain... The Great Sage was a little afraid at first, because if he started killing, he would arouse the dissatisfaction of the Master.
...But later I discovered that my behavior and ideological realm were still a bit conservative compared to my master.
In the eyes of the master, those robbers who were beaten to death by him deserved it... Then the master asked him to control his strength, not to prevent himself from killing, but because he was worried that he would accidentally hurt good people... The final result was that those robbers
His legs were broken, and then he was pushed to the Yamen on a flatbed truck by a robber who had just joined the gang and had not had time to turn bad. He surrendered.
The reason why the other party was able to do this was because Master used Buddhism to influence the other party's mind.
Therefore, using certain methods against these evil-doing people... is not a taboo in the eyes of Master Sanzang and they are not worthy of sympathy at all.
Master even said some extreme words, "It is actually not easy to distinguish between good and evil among monsters, and it is often a waste of effort... The most sensible approach is to eliminate all monsters in the three realms.
clean."
Only dead monsters are good monsters.
However, this kind of statement was vetoed by Master himself, "But this kind of idea is not advisable. It is tantamount to entering the devil's path... You must be more careful."
However, the master turned around and said something else, "If... I am just saying if, if I can really clean up all the demons in the Three Realms, and the price is that I will become a demon... this matter,
Is it possible?”
While the Great Sage was still shocked by Master's words, Bajie suddenly said: "If Master becomes a demon, it will definitely be more troublesome to deal with than those demons."
"Amitabha." Fa Hai put his hands together and recited the Buddha's name.
Obviously he also agreed with Bajie's words. After all, no one knew better than him what he would look like after being possessed by a demon.
Until you can fully control your own demonic nature, it's better to keep this idea sealed for the time being.
"Taoist Master..." Seeing that Li Chunfeng didn't seem to have any intention of using the soul-searching technique, Bajie explained, "The poor monk's soul-searching technique... can only be said to be a beginner. How much can he find?"
Whatever is useful, it all depends on God’s will.”
That's it, Bajie was taught by Junior Brother Sha when he was in Changbai Mountain... Otherwise, he wouldn't even be at this level.
"Wuliang Taoist Master." Li Chunfeng shook off the fly whisk in his hand, "It's better to do it as a poor Taoist... It's just that these ferocious beasts have no intelligence, and even the soul-searching technique may not be very effective."
