Huiyuan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Master Luo Shi, I don't understand your thoughts now. Like Lu Gu, you have always told me that Liu Yu is an enemy of the Buddha and wants to destroy the Buddha and destroy the temple.
People, if you want me to help Tianshi Dao, I can contain and fight against Liu Yu, so that he will not easily destroy the world's religions. But since I came down from the mountain, what I have seen and heard is that Tianshi Dao is the real devil in the world, causing harm to all people.
Common people, they would be so cruel without taking over the world. If they really seize power, it will probably be more terrifying than the Ran Min Rebellion. Our Buddhists are here to save the world and save people, not to help the devil achieve their goals. That will only make things worse.
He fell into the devil's path."
Kumarajiva said calmly: "If the Tao of Heavenly Masters comes true, they will also destroy our temples and destroy our Buddhism. They are also our enemies and enemies, and they are not trustworthy partners. It's just that the two evils should be balanced."
Qingqing, Liu Yu's equality of all people is the irreconcilable enemy of our Buddhism. Once he is allowed to dominate the world, he will definitely destroy Buddhism and destroy temples. If Tianshi Tao can exist, it can always threaten Liu Yu. Then Liu Yu
You dare not act rashly or ban us all at once. This is a way of fighting two evils, driving out wolves and tigers."
Huiyuan frowned: "But in this way, the people of the world will always be in war and suffering. Is it really okay? My Buddha's mercy is to save the world and save the common people. Rather than watching them suffer.
.”
Kumarajiva sighed softly: "Master Huiyuan, we have argued about this point many times. This time I must be important again. Human life is like all living beings. Those who are killed and eaten by us humans
Plants, papayas, fruits, birds and beasts must be killed and eaten just because we want to survive. Is it a pity that these beasts are unjust?"
The beads in Huiyuan's hand moved and he said in a deep voice: "These are non-karma retributions. Those who fell into the animal realm often did evil in the previous life and committed bad karma. They will suffer sins and hardships in this life, and finally die in order to eliminate their karma. But
Those who can become humans must have accumulated virtues and performed good deeds in their previous lives before they can be reincarnated as humans in the next life. And as our kind, no matter what, if we look at their suffering and remain indifferent, we don’t even have basic compassion. How can we complete our lives?
What about practicing in this world? How can we convey the kindness of Buddha?"
Kumarajiva shook his head and said: "Master Huiyuan, you must understand that even if you are born as a human being, you are not necessarily destined to enjoy happiness. Only by going to the Western Heaven, the Land of Ultimate Bliss, can you achieve enlightenment. In the Buddha
In his eyes, there is no difference between us humans and those pigs, cattle and sheep that are killed for us by the beasts."
Huiyuan's brows were furrowed, and he could only proclaim the name of Buddha, but he could not refute this statement that he did not want to accept.
Kumarajiva continued: "In this world, all living beings are suffering. Even if they are born as human beings, most of them will suffer and starve throughout their lives, and will not end up well in the end. This suffering experience in the human world is itself a way to eliminate karma through practice.
Part of it is our practice to escape into Buddhism, become disciples of Buddhism, and promote Buddhism. But for ordinary people, the hardships of their lives, the dire straits in this troubled world, and even their final deaths are also part of their practice to eliminate karma.
Ah. If we want everyone to live a prosperous life, what else can we say about all living beings suffering? Human desire is the most terrifying thing. Once you have enough food and clothing, you will think about power and control.
If you drive others, you will only commit more bad karma and unbalance the three realms."
Huiyuan opened his eyes and said seriously: "So, we have to watch the wars in this world continue and the people suffer. Even if they die, their practice will be considered complete? Then why do we need to open a temple?"
Kumarajiva smiled slightly: "Only we disciples with spiritual roots and enlightenment can see through the world of mortals, become monks, and teach the Dharma to the world for the Buddha, so that they can be peaceful, no longer think about violent plunder, and have awe in their hearts.
We dare not commit crimes. However, we have an obligation to say these principles, but it is impossible for everyone to abide by them, because some people just commit crimes and do evil, and in the end they will not end up well. We just want to use the fate of these people to educate all the people about kindness.
The truth is that evil is rewarded."
"Just like those terrible warlords who once ran rampant and brought disaster to the world. You have experienced Ran Min and Shi Hu, and I have experienced Lu Guang, Yao Chang and others. They once dominated the world and relied on force to conquer the world.
He slaughtered people and built his own empire out of blood. However, in a few years, the country was destroyed and his family was destroyed, and all his descendants were killed. Isn't this retribution in this world? It's like the Tianshi Dao. When it is strong, it slaughters people everywhere.
, but now when I am about to fail, I have paid them all back. If we do not let the fate of these evil people and bad people tell the people of the world that good deeds are rewarded, how can we make them turn their hearts to the Buddha and put down the butcher knife?"
Huiyuan sighed: "Having said that, those good men and women who believed in Buddha and provided us with incense also died in the war launched by these evil people. Shouldn't we even save them and watch them die?
In these wars? Just like our Fahai Temple, which was built with the help of the people in Guangzhou City, and I don't even protect or save these people?"
Kumarajiva sighed: "That's just fate, you can't save them. If you are a person with destiny and understanding, in this time of war, you must find a way to escape from this place of right and wrong. In other words, you have a way.
The solution is to let Lu Gu and others leave Guangzhou City early and flee to other places early. Now, needless to say these big principles, let’s get back to the topic. You let Lu Gu and others leave the city early and meet Lu
Xun's remnants of troops joined forces to capture Guangzhou, but how can you get Lu Gu to agree to leave?"
The corner of Huiyuan's mouth curled up: "I'm not too clear about Lu Gu's plan. I feel that he wants to leave the city to command his subordinates, but also wants to stay in the city as an internal response."
Kumarajiva said solemnly: "In the final analysis, Lu Gu is nearly eighty years old and has inconvenience in his legs and feet, and his leg is a disability that is well-known in the world. At this time, the Jin army is inspecting the city, no matter how he disguises himself,
This old man with disabled legs and feet will be subject to intensive searches. It will be difficult for him to sneak out of the city. Once he has a way to leave, he will not take the risk of staying here. Therefore, you have to find a way to dispel his doubts.
"
Huiyuan said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid I don't have a good idea. He may not accept what you just said, hiding the person in a coffin and transporting him out of the city. After all, if we do something, he may die directly there.
