Chapter 66 Have you heard the story of the Buddha cutting meat and feeding the eagle?
Everyone changed their colors.
This is too crazy.
People ask you what is a Buddha, but you say you are a Buddha?
Even if you are a Buddhist saint, you cannot say that.
as expected.
Xuanjing's face changed drastically, and anger suddenly surged up.
Huikong and others in the audience also looked shocked.
Ye Qingyun's majestic and wise image of the Holy Son also collapsed at this moment.
Could it be that we have really mistakenly identified the Holy Son?
But the Holy Son clearly revealed the true meaning of Mahayana Buddhism.
A person who can tell the true meaning of Mahayana Buddhism is now saying such wild and outrageous words.
This is really difficult for Huikong and others to accept.
"The donor is too arrogant!"
Xuanjing's face was gloomy and ugly.
"The Buddha is supreme, how can you, the donor, blaspheme it?"
Ye Qingyun looked at Xuan Jing with a puzzled look.
"Why can't I be a Buddha?"
Xuanjing was furious: "There are thousands of Buddhist monks in our Western Region, and there are many who have profound Buddhist teachings, but no monk dares to falsely claim to be a Buddha. Why does the donor say that he is a Buddha?"
Ye Qingyun shook his head.
"In your heart, the Buddha is aloof."
"But in my eyes, I am a Buddha, you are a Buddha, and everyone present can be a Buddha."
These words made Xuanjing stunned.
"Even everything in the world can be a Buddha."
Ye Qingyun put his hands behind his back, his expression empty and indifferent.
"Everything can be a Buddha?"
These words, like the great bell of Honglu, immediately rang in the ears of everyone here.
Especially Buddhist people were deeply shocked.
This was a statement they had never heard before.
It can be said that it directly overturned the Western Buddhism’s consistent understanding of the existence of Buddha.
"This is a fallacy! How can everything in the world be a Buddha?"
Xuanjing was not easily shaken.
"Why can't everything in the world be Buddha?"
Ye Qingyun showed a meaningful smile.
"The Buddha said that all living beings are equal and everything can become a Buddha."
All living beings are equal!
Everything can become a Buddha!
As soon as these words came out, the color of the world suddenly changed.
More than a dozen temples at the foot of Fuyun Mountain began to chant sutras at the same time.
And in the distant Western Buddhism, every temple and every ancient temple also resounded with loud chanting.
Moreover, all the Buddha statues enshrined in their temples are also brightly lit.
"The Buddha said that all living beings are equal and everything in the world can become a Buddha."
The loud voice resounded throughout the Buddhist sect in the Western Region.
"Amitabha!"
Countless monks knelt down.
Even those old monks who have advanced in cultivation are as if they are in a dream at this moment, as if they have achieved a great enlightenment.
Rays of Buddha light soar into the sky.
And these Buddha lights from all directions finally converge together.
It fell on Ye Qingyun.
Ye Qingyun couldn't see the light on his body.
But Xuanjing opposite could see it, and Huikong and others in the audience could see it.
Everyone present can see it.
this moment.
Ye Qingyun's image deeply shocked everyone.
"This is the most important principle of Buddhism!"
"Oh my god! The sound of chanting came from the temple out of thin air!"
"The Buddha appears! This is absolutely the most important principle of Buddhism!"
...
Huikong and other monks were extremely excited.
Before, their faith in Ye Qingyun was shaken because of Ye Qingyun's words.
But this moment.
Not only did their faith not waver at all, but it became stronger than ever.
Xuanjing was stunned.
He looked at Ye Qingyun blankly.
To be precise, it was looking at the Buddha's light gathered on Ye Qingyun's body.
That is the purest and most sacred Buddha light.
He had never seen such sacred Buddha light.
Under the illumination of Buddha's light, Ye Qingyun really seemed to be the Buddha alive.
For a moment, Xuan Jing was fascinated by it.
"I didn't expect that your words are actually the most profound principles of Buddhism. I am convinced of them!"
Xuan Jing was convinced.
At the same time, his heart was also very happy.
Although I was impressed by Ye Qingyun's argument.
But their Buddhist sect has gained a new Buddhist philosophy.
This invisibly strengthened Buddhism.
"Accepted."
Ye Qingyun also breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that this old monk is quite easy to fool.
I should be able to get by today.
But Xuanjing did not just let Ye Qingyun go.
"Donor, my second question is coming."
Ye Qingyun forced a smile.
"I'm all ears."
Xuan Jing said: "Donor, my second question is, if there is a wicked person who burns, kills, loots and commits all kinds of evil, and is burdened with a lot of blood debt, but he wants to escape into Buddhism and become a monk."
"Such a person, please ask the donor, should I, the Buddhist sect, accept him?"
Everyone in the audience looked puzzled when they heard this question.
"What kind of problem is this? Of course we can't let such a wicked person become a monk."
"Indeed, if Buddhism can accept such evil people, what else would it be called Buddhism?"
"But if we don't accept it, wouldn't it violate the purpose of Buddhism to save the world?"
"Well, it seems so."
...
Ordinary people will find this question meaningless at first.
But if you think about it a little, you will find that this issue actually contains a very big contradiction.
Buddhist monks like Huikong are even more sensitive to this issue.
Buddhism pays attention to educating people in the world.
Anyone who does evil will naturally be accepted if they wish to enter Buddhism.
But if a person like Xuan Jingkou, who is extremely evil, wants to become a Buddhist monk, it will be too easy for him.
Could it be that after becoming a monk and becoming a monk, all the evil deeds he has done in the past will be wiped out and gone with the wind?
At least most people cannot accept it.
"How should the Holy Son answer?"
Huikong's face was full of worry.
Ye Qingyun frowned and thought for a moment.
"This question is very simple."
"Oh? But I don't know what the donor's answer is?"
Xuanjing asked curiously.
Ye Qingyun looked at Xuan Jing.
"There is a saying in Buddhism: if you put down your butcher's knife, you will become a Buddha immediately."
"good."
Xuanjing smiled slightly.
He thought that Ye Qingyun wanted to say that since he was willing to put down his butcher knife, he should join Buddhism.
But in this case, how to resolve the sins of the past?
"Since those who commit heinous crimes are willing to enter Buddhism, they should naturally be given the opportunity to be enlightened and enlightened."
Speaking of this, Ye Qingyun suddenly changed the subject.
"But the sins on this person's body will not disappear when he enters Buddhism."
"Grudges must be resolved."
Xuanjing said doubtfully: "Then how does the donor think it should be resolved?"
Ye Qingyun looked solemn.
"Have you ever heard of the story about Buddha cutting off his flesh and feeding it to the eagles?"
Xuan Jing was startled and shook his head with a confused look on his face.
Ye Qingyun immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, there are no such Buddhist allusions in this world.
"Then please listen, Master."
"Buddha once went out and encountered a hungry eagle chasing a poor pigeon."
"The dove hopes that the eagle will let it go, but the eagle says that if I don't eat you, I will starve to death."
"After hearing this, Buddha became compassionate and hid the dove in his arms."
"The eagle was very angry, thinking that although the Buddha was so merciful and saved the pigeon, he would let the eagle starve to death."
