Chapter 1567 similarities and differences between Buddha and Taoism
The golden cicada followed and fell into the palm of Amitabha. This was considered a habit. When he fell from the tree many times, he was caught like this every time.
However, Jin Chan found that he had not been penetrated, and felt extremely confused. He could not understand how the sword penetrated his body.
Amitabha was made to laugh and cry because of its blockage, although it did not block the sword light traveling through different time and space, but it messed up the cause and effect that could have been completely eliminated.
…
The meaning of this sword is to remove cause and effect. The sword contains Yamazaki's path and the outlook for the future.
He walks the human way, uses Taoism, but has a Buddhist compassionate heart.
Practicing Taoism with the Buddha's mind and following the way of human beings is the foundation for Buddhism to exist in this world.
He and Zhunti were originally Taoists, but because there was already a Taoist in front of them, they were the Taoist Sanqing.
In line with the idea that he would rather be the head of a phoenix than the tail of a dragon, he and Zhunti found a new path and opened up the door of Buddhism.
What Buddhism seeks is emptiness, which is different from what Taoism seeks.
What Buddhism talks about is crossing, and it only crosses those who are destined to be in the world. It is also somewhat similar to Taoism's "Buzi", so it can be recognized by Taoism.
As for the Buddhism Guangdu crossing now, that is all an afterthought. It was a shameless trick by Zhunti, who forcibly found another way and greatly enriched the number of Buddhism.
The Taoist sect does not fight or care about anything, so it is settled for Zhunti.
Of course, the Dao Sect had planned this beforehand, but they just didn't care.
Because for the establishment of Buddhism, the biggest support is the Great Dao, and it has the permission of the Dao.
If the Taoist sect does not allow it, there will be infinite cause and effect, and the Taoist sect cannot bear it, so it has no choice but to not object, that is, not to argue, and to just sit back and watch.
This is the general trend, and even the three Taoists are helpless, just like the battle to become a god.
The reason why Dao Dao agreed is that the most fundamental thing in Buddhism is a heart of compassion.
Because Tao is not compassionate enough, Tao is neutral.
Buddhism is based on the way of man, and uses a compassionate heart to make up for the harshness brought about by neutrality in the way of man.
To put it simply, all Taoist monks, regardless of mountain spirits, wild monsters, evil spirits and ghosts, are actually from the Taoist sect, and the human race is just one of them.
When humans bully them, Tao doesn't care. When they bully humans, Tao doesn't care. Tao follows nature.
But don't let everyone live a life of killing like this. One day, the entire Earthly Immortal World will be destroyed.
Buddhism with compassion comes to take care of it. All living beings are equal. Don't kill. Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately.
In this way, Buddhism obtains heavenly merits and virtues, which naturally come according to the numbers of heaven.
It's just that Buddhism and Taoism are just different but they are not the same. Although the paths they take are similar, the deeper they go, the more different they become.
The non-being of Taoism is, in the end, the creation of something out of nothing, which is another cycle of reincarnation, endlessly.
The emptiness of Buddhism is the great annihilation in the end, and since it is annihilated, it wakes up.
He thought about how to survive this great annihilation for many years, but could not think of the second way.
The only way is to learn Taoism and create something out of nothing.
But in that case, Buddhism will be gone, and Buddhism will eventually become Taoism, the third Taoism after Jie Jiao.
(Tai Shang Dao Zun is the leader of Taoism, and both the teaching of interpretation and the teaching of interception belong to Taoism.)
But Yamazaki's sword made him vaguely see the third way.
For this reason, the cause and effect of Shan Dai killing a golden Arhat is nothing.
If it prompts him to realize, then even if Shan Dai kills all five hundred Arhats, it will be nothing.
However, when he was quietly preparing to take the sword and realize the Tao, the sudden appearance of Jin Chan caused some changes in his state of mind, so that he did not understand it.
It seems that I caught it, but it slipped away again. I clearly understood something, but I can't remember it.
Just like a mortal walking on the road and seeing a passerby, he obviously feels that he is an acquaintance, but for a moment he cannot remember his name or his past.
Then, maybe within an hour, I can remember, oh, it was my childhood friend, a student in the academy.
Maybe you won’t be able to remember it after a day, maybe you will suddenly remember it many years later, maybe you will just forget it and never think about it again in your life.
Of course, this may be God's will.
Because the retribution is too great, Shandai's cause of killing a golden Arhat is not enough to produce this retribution.
But would it be any different if there was no golden cicada?
Amitabha doesn't know, but he can't help but have such thoughts.
And the cause and effect between him and Jin Chan became more and more complicated.
"That's all, how can we argue with a cicada like you who is not fully intelligent? Let's wait until you fully develop your intelligence."
"As a poor monk, you are closely related to the prosperity of Buddhism. It's just that the poor monk is practicing on his own here. You can't practice if you stay here."
"Although you blocked the sword for the poor monk today, it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil from cause and effect, and it is not enough for the poor monk to teach you how to practice."
"I will send you to the Tathagata in this world to sit down and listen to the lecture. When the time is right, I will reincarnate you as an adult."
"After you become a Buddha and have a clear understanding of what happened in your past life, come back to the humble monk's place and discuss whether today's cause and effect is good or evil."
Amitabha raised his hand to send him away, and the golden cicada flew to the Great Leiyin Temple in Lingshan riding on a ray of golden light.
At the same time, Zhunti came back.
He heard the inner words sent to him by Amitabha, so he decided to temporarily put aside the karma with Yamazaki Shandai and take a look first.
As for the scene, he said a few words when he left, so it shouldn't be too ugly.
…
territory.
"You are my disciple of Buddhism, but you wantonly kill your fellow disciples. Considering that you are young and ignorant, I will write down your crimes and worship them in the Lingshan Mountain one day, and deal with them together."
Zhunti's words were not high-pitched and grand, but Shanqi and Shandai heard them, and the three Taoists also knew about them.
The Supreme Taoist Master was indifferent, while the Tongtian Taoist Master did not take it seriously.
Only Yuanshi Dao Zun, although he knew it was a divorce plan, was also dissatisfied.
…
Shan Dai pouted, "I don't care about going to Lingshan."
Yamazaki himself appeared and said, "Okay, this is a scene. You have really passed this time. They have no intention of accepting Ye Bin as their disciple at this time. You just need to pass through their blockade."
Shandai was stunned, and then realized that this could still be the case.
But he refused to admit defeat, "Who knows what their plans are."
Yamazaki shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Forget it, it's too late to say anything now, things have changed, so hurry up and get going."
Li Yingqiong (Yuan Shen) raised his hand and asked, "Wait a minute, who can tell me what is going on! Sir, who did you attack with that sword just now?"
Yamazaki changed the topic and said: "Let's talk about it first. Let's solve the immediate matter first to avoid a long night with too many dreams."
"That's right, let's go quickly, don't let those guys escape." Shan Dai pulled Li Yingqiong and disappeared, while Yama Qi went underground and escorted him to deal with the aftermath.
