Lin Ye had just become a lay disciple. Once he went to the temple for a stroll and saw Abbot Yin Guang wandering around the temple accompanied by several big pilgrims.
In order to make these big pilgrims happy, Abbot Yinguang built a cabinet above the Buddha statue in the main hall, and placed the birthdays and birth dates of these pilgrims' families in it. In this way, every time the monks chanted sutras, the families of these pilgrims
You can also be prayed for.
The pilgrims were very happy and generously donated thousands of taels of silver each.
After the pilgrims left, Lin Ye curiously asked the abbot, "Aren't you afraid that the Buddha will be angry if you do this?"
Can you still become a Buddha if you just stare at the incense money all day long?
"Buddha is angry, why should Buddha be angry? Didn't the old monk get the incense money to add gold clothes to the Buddha? After the Buddha has benefited, can he still be angry over such a trivial matter?"
"Buddhas have thirty-six thousand ways, and Buddhas have thousands of appearances. Everyone can become a Buddha. If they are all the same Buddha, where can they come from?"
"There is the Buddha who sits high on the altar and looks down on all living beings, there is also the Buddha who bows his head and gives alms to all living beings, there is the Buddha who practices hard with one sutra, one lamp, and one wooden fish, and there is also the Buddha who travels around the world killing demons and slaying demons..."
"You are the Buddha. The Buddha is in your heart. If you want to become a Buddha, it is just a matter of a thought."
"Abbott, if everyone can become a Buddha, then if I am a murderer and practice evil arts, can I also become a Buddha?"
"Of course it is possible, but it is a different kind of Buddha."
Take refuge!
Lin Ye:......
Lin Ye's soul jumped directly from the lotus platform, grabbed the halo, and the halo bloomed with Buddha's light. He wanted to break away, but the lotus altar floated up, floating above the halo, and the black words "木一" came from
It landed under the lotus platform and hit the halo. The halo was pressed like a heavy object and could not move.
This is the first time that Lin Ye's soul has stood on the lotus platform. In the past, every time Lin Ye's soul appeared, the standing Buddha and the lotus platform would disappear. When the standing Buddha appeared, Lin Ye's soul would disappear.
"The path he takes is different from that of ghosts. He cannot cultivate by absorbing Yin Qi."
Chen Qian's voice was loud and loud, carrying some indescribable power. Lin Ye's expression became confused, and a faint Buddhist light appeared on his body.
Lin Ye always thought that the way of heaven was taught by Taoists, but he didn't expect that Buddhists also believed it.
Abbot Yin Guang smiled meaningfully and walked into the backyard room, followed by Lin Ye.
When Chen Qian came out with the Buddha's voice again, it was like a wake-up call. Standing as a Buddha, his body felt dull for a moment, and it was this moment of dullness that caused the halo to fall on the top of his head.
"Many people think that one must be compassionate and help the world to become a Buddha? But in fact, Buddhas are not good or bad. What you think is good may be bad for other races, and vice versa."
On the floor of the main hall, Chen Qian's shriveled body, which was split in half, suddenly emitted a golden light.
"Abbott, you compare the water tank with the Buddha. There is no comparison between the two. If you can become a Buddha in this way, then who else will be compassionate and who will always accompany the ancient Buddha with a green lantern?"
Lin Ye's voice made Wei Yang stunned for a moment, but when he saw Lin Ye's serious expression, Wei Yang didn't ask and ran decisively towards the outside of the hall.
The moment Wei Yang ran out of the temple, Chen Qian's body in the main hall was completely shrouded in golden light. The golden light was so intense that Lin Ye couldn't even see Chen Qian's body shrouded in golden light.
"Close the door."
Lin Ye did not answer Chen Qian's question. When he asked Abbot Yinguang this question, the abbot even replied with one sentence.
"Like this turbid water, we are disgusted, but for those trees, the water in this tank is worth the fairy wine. Can you say that there is something wrong with this turbid water?"
Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are transcendent and above the Heavenly Dao, while Taoism is the largest of the Heavenly Dao, and gods all live in the Heavenly Dao. This is probably deliberately disgusting with Taoism.
"Then what's the difference between an alternative Buddha and a normal Buddha?"
The true light of Buddha.
Lin Ye: "...Please ask the abbot to clarify my doubts."
"able."
"Someone pour water in or wait until it rains."
Ten minutes later, the water tank filled with turbid water became extremely conspicuous among the other water tanks in the backyard.
"Just keep reading."
If Chen Qian wants to practice another kind of Buddhism, he must have Buddhahood.
The golden light faded, and Chen Qian's figure appeared.
The supernatural power of Buddha.
When Lin Ye heard what the abbot said, he wanted to reply, "Abbott, you are wrong. In fact, it is different. Because turbid water contains many impurities, the density is different. The density is different, and the weight of the same volume is different."
"Just answer if you can."
"Exit the temple!"
Abbot Yinguang pointed to a few pine trees in the backyard. The two monks had previously poured water on the roots of these pine trees. The roots of the trees absorbed water, thus keeping the ground clean as quickly as possible.
"It is not easy to cultivate an alternative Buddha. You must have a guide."
"Pour it out quickly, or else we will be punished if our senior brother sees us."
Looking at Chen Qian's mummy that had fallen to the ground and been split into two halves, it was hard for Wei Yang to imagine that he could still be alive like this?
…
"You are actually a disciple of Buddhism, Amitabha, so this Buddha wants to accept you as his protector."
Abbot Yin Guang led Lin Ye to the kitchen backyard of the temple. There were several large tanks here, some filled with water and some empty.
The standing Buddha whose head was covered by the halo suddenly shrank in size and turned into a small man, and he broke free from the halo.
"Just...is it over?"
Buddhism has magical powers called Refuge, which can enlighten all living beings, allowing them to understand the true meaning of Buddhism and then take refuge in our Buddha.
Lin Ye's soul appeared.
Those Bodhisattva's mounts and so on were all forcibly brainwashed in this way.
Abbot Yin Guang blinked at Lin Ye again and did not continue the topic.
He somewhat understood that the abbot was the one who ate this bowl of rice, so he couldn't ruin his own fortune.
Seeing that the halo was about to fall on Lin Ye's head.
"You are wrong. Buddha is Buddha, Buddha Dharma is Buddha Dharma, Buddha is simply the power of Buddha through cultivation, and Dharma is the restraint on Buddha power."
"Amitabha, are you still stubborn? Why don't you wake up quickly?"
Sure enough, Bald Donkey is not so kind and indifferent to the world. If he really wanted to be indifferent to the world, Buddhism would not be able to develop and grow to this extent.
When asked by the abbot, Lin Ye gave a brief explanation.
"This water..."
Not to mention whether you practice cultivation or not, just a ghost that has stayed in the world for a thousand years and does nothing is still a thousand-year-old ghost.
"An alternative Buddha, please ask the abbot to clarify your doubts?"
The Buddha's light continued to move upward, and finally formed a halo of light that converged on Lin Ye's head, and slowly fell towards Lin Ye's head.
The two monks hurriedly poured out the dirty water in the water tank. Not only that, they scooped water from other water tanks into the tank and rinsed it thoroughly. Finally, they moved this water tank to the corner and then lifted it up.
Leaving with a full water jar.
"Who did this? How did you put dirty water in the water tank?"
"For the sake of your cause and effect in allowing this Buddha to be in the right position, I will grant you a blessing and become the protector of this Buddha."
"It cannot be destroyed or established. Speaking of which, I should thank you, Amitabha!"
In the golden light, Chen Qian's voice came out. This voice made Lin Ye tremble and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.
In Qingfeng Temple, when Lin Ye was discussing Buddhism with Lao Tao, Lao Tao once cursed disdainfully.
"Abbott, do Buddhists also believe in the way of heaven?"
Listening to Abbot Yinguang's explanation, Lin Ye thought that this was a deliberate attempt by Buddhism to make such a statement.
Chen Qian's expression was very excited, and he began to form Buddha seals with his hands, but he did not notice that behind him, a standing Buddha figure appeared in the golden light.
"That's it. No matter what kind of water, as long as it is water, it can fill this water tank. So please do your best and fill the water tank with water from this ditch."
Lin Ye felt that either Buddhism was too exaggerated and the Buddha was not really immortal. Otherwise, who could get the Buddha's fruit? The Buddha couldn't take out the Buddha's fruit himself.
"The weight of a tank of turbid water and a tank of clean water is the same, and the strength of the alternative Buddha is also the same as the Buddha."
"It's not over. Is this person not dead?"
…
The golden eye fell out, and Chen Qian immediately reached out to catch it, but someone was a step faster than him.
"You ask whether bloodthirsty can lead to Buddhahood. The massacre of a village, a town or even a county is naturally an unforgivable crime for the human race, but for those forest beasts, they are good people, because the disappearance of the human race means that
Then they have a new home and will not be hunted by hunters."
"Buddha fruit? Something similar to a godhead?"
Standing Buddha waved his hands several times but failed to knock the halo away. On the contrary, the halo got closer and closer.
As the Buddha's light became stronger, the confused expression on Lin Ye's face gradually became clear. However, this clarity was not a sign of recovery, but a sign of being completely brainwashed.
There was a hint of excitement in Chen Qian's voice, and the golden halo became thicker again, this time heading directly towards the head of the standing Buddha.
A black lotus platform appeared, and a Buddha standing on it slapped the halo directly. The halo shook a few times, but did not leave Lin Ye's head.
Abbot Yin Guang blinked a few times, and Lin Ye understood that it was indeed what he thought.
Buddha’s voice!
But in the end he gave up and refused to show off his cleverness.
Heavenly Sword!
Lin Ye appeared with a long sword above his head. This was the first time that he used Taoist magical powers to kill a Buddhist.
"Amitabha, disciples of the Three Jewels do not speak of the Buddha."
"You can become a Buddha, but you are called a different kind of Buddha."
"Buddha fruit."
"What lead?"
Lin Ye shook his head. No matter what kind of water it is, there is nothing wrong with it.
"Abbott, according to what you say, no matter good or bad, as long as you practice Buddhism, you can become a Buddha."
If he hadn't met himself, it would be possible for Chen Qian to succeed in a few hundred years, but now...
"If we pour water from this canal, can we fill the tank full?"
"Really understand?"
"Of course there is. The Buddha's way of heaven is actually the same as Taoism. The way of heaven controls everything in the world. In Buddhism, the way of heaven is the last of the six paths. When we in Buddhism say that the Buddha jumped out of the six paths of reincarnation, it actually means transcending the last path.
The way of heaven."
"Do you understand?"
The abbot pointed to one of the empty water tanks and said: "If you compare my Three Jewels disciples to this water tank, then the Buddhist practice is to let the water in this tank overflow. When the water is full, you will become a Buddha. But this water
How can it be full?"
A sword fell!
Chen Qian didn't even have time to dodge. There was only the shadow of the sword in his eyes, and he fell to the ground suddenly the next moment.
"But in the end, this tank of turbid water was poured out, while the clean water stayed. The same is true for alternative Buddhas. They do not practice Buddhism, and Buddhism is recognized by this world. The fate of alternative Buddhas is also
It is doomed, unless you can cultivate to the state of escaping from the way of heaven."
"The emergence of an alternative Buddha, like this turbid water, was eventually poured out. The result was that Buddhism was misunderstood by the world. In the end, just like that water vat, it was put in a corner. After a long time,
, to restore the reputation.”
"What is Godhead?"
Lin Ye:......
But his smile quickly froze.
After the door was closed, within a few minutes, the monk's footsteps could be heard in the courtyard.
When his thoughts returned, Lin Ye knew what path Chen Qian was taking, a path to becoming a different kind of Buddha.
This is the first time that the two have merged.
Is this thousand-year-old ghost so easy to deal with?
Chen Qian chose another way to become a Buddha, so he could no longer follow the path of ghost cultivation.
The abbot nodded and walked inside again, and soon came to a ditch. There were some garbage dumped after cooking, and the whole ditch was very turbid.
After all, this person is from the Han Dynasty.
Wei Yang looked at this scene in disbelief. He thought that Advisor Lin would have to fight with the prefect for a long time, and it was even possible that Advisor Lin would be at a disadvantage.
"Also, this matter is not over yet."
"Amitabha, the term Godhead is really wonderful. The general meaning is pretty much the same."
"Buddha, Taoist ghosts... Amitabha, you have too many distracting thoughts, and I want to save you from the sea of suffering."
Chen Qian's face showed a compassionate smile.
When the footsteps disappeared, Abbot Yin Guang opened the door. Lin Ye looked at the water jar placed in the corner and nodded: "I understand somewhat."
At this moment, Chen Qian was shrouded in Buddha's light behind him, wearing a cassock. There was a third eye between his eyebrows, and the golden light came from this third eye.
"Abbott, this Buddha Fruit is only possessed by the Buddha. How can a monk possess it? The Buddha has escaped from the six realms and is immortal. Who can still obtain the Buddha Fruit?"
He knew that he could not help Consultant Lin. Since Consultant Lin asked him to leave, he should leave quickly to avoid getting out of Consultant Lin's hands.
"What is conversion? In your words, disciple, it is brainwashing, and it is also forced brainwashing."
Snap!
Standing there, a big Bi Dou slapped Chen Qian on the head. The Chen Qian whom this Da Bi Dou slapped staggered forward and fell forward. The most important thing was the third eye on Chen Qian's forehead. Because of this stagger,
It actually fell out from inside.
The hand of the standing Buddha holds the golden eye.
"Give it back!"
Chen Qian roared angrily. Unfortunately, after losing his golden eyes, his body shriveled up quickly, and in just a few seconds, he turned into a mummy and fell to the ground.
The golden halo above Lin Ye's head also dissipated at the same time, and the standing Buddha returned to the lotus platform again. The next moment, he directly inserted the golden eye into his forehead.
