At that time, Xuanzang's answer was that although he had been a Buddha for ten lifetimes and knew everything, he didn't know what to do. Perhaps the answer lies in Mahayana Buddhism. As long as he retrieves that Buddhist scripture, all questions will be answered.
.
That is the most exquisite Buddhist teaching in the world, containing thousands of truths.
Xuanzang told the monkey that as long as there is this Mahayana Buddhism, all living beings can truly be equal, Buddhism will no longer suppress demons, the emperor and the common people will be the same, and the people of the world will be happy together.
The monkey looked at Xuanzang expectantly. He hoped that his master, who had already retrieved the Mahayana Buddhism, could explain his doubts.
"Monkey, I don't know either." Xuanzang shook his head slightly.
"Don't know?" The monkey's eyes widened, "Master, didn't you say that there is everything in Mahayana Buddhism!"
"You said that it is the only way of liberation in the world that can save everyone in the world."
"As long as we find that Buddha Dharma, no one in the world will suffer anymore."
"You said that as long as you get that book of Buddhism, all living beings in the world will be truly equal from now on!"
Xuanzang did not answer, but sighed: "Monkey, when I was a teacher, I wanted to learn Mahayana Buddhism."
"I think that Mahayana Buddhism is the most exquisite Buddhism after all. That Buddhism can tell me how to truly achieve equality for all living beings."
"I really think that this Buddhist scripture can save people in the world, even the demon clan suppressed by Buddhism. It can teach all living beings to be liberated and make the world free from difficulties."
"but……"
"Master," the monkey interrupted, "but Mahayana Buddhism is not subtle enough?"
Xuanzang sighed: "Mahayana Buddhism is indeed so exquisite that it is unparalleled."
"However, no matter how exquisite the Buddhist scriptures are, they cannot save the world."
"Buddhist scriptures are Buddhist scriptures."
"How can a Buddhist scripture help all sentient beings to be liberated?"
The monkey still looked desperate.
Mahayana Buddhism was unable to resolve his confusion.
"Master, have you still failed..." Monkey smiled helplessly.
"It failed, but it is not a complete failure... Thousands of years later, my master seems to have found the answer." Xuanzang suddenly raised his head, smiled and lit a cigarette.
"Master has found the answer?" The monkey suddenly became excited, "Where is the answer?"
"It's quite interesting. I have been pursuing my life for the sake of true equality of all sentient beings. I have traveled thousands of miles westward to seek Buddhist scriptures, but it has been of no use. I didn't expect..." Xuanzang said softly: "After being reincarnated for thousands of years, but
With these eyes, I saw that this land gradually became what I once imagined it would be like."
He looked at the world.
Look at the cities, mountains and rivers.
He has gone through reincarnation, and although he has not yet awakened, he has seen how this land has risen step by step.
In one life, he was a farmer in the countryside, born into a farmer's family, and there was an emperor at that time.
In one life, he was a student who skipped classes to listen to ideas that transcended generations.
In one life, he was a soldier, shouting slogans, rushing towards the invaders' guns with his comrades, soaking the soil with his blood.
In one life, he was a worker, sweating for the rise of Daxia.
Later, in another life, he was born into a farmer's family, but he was no longer an emperor, and he no longer continued to be a farmer like his father's generation. Instead, he worked hard to get into a good university. After graduation, he sat in an office and bought
I have a clean and bright building, a gentle wife and a lovely daughter.
Although he was not rich and his mortgage was paid off only when he was fifty, when he was about to enter the next reincarnation, it was the first time he was so reluctant to leave.
Xuanzang said softly: "No matter how exquisite Mahayana Buddhism is, it is just a book of Buddhism and cannot liberate the world."
"This land today could not be created by gods, Buddha, or monsters. It was created by countless ordinary people on their own."
"It's ridiculous that I boasted that I traveled all the way to the West for the sake of all sentient beings in the world, went through all kinds of hardships, and learned Mahayana Buddhism. But it only moved myself. All sentient beings in the world don't need Mahayana Buddhism at all, and even a mere Mahayana Buddhism cannot save all sentient beings in the world."
"Buddha's crossing is not as good as self-crossing. They can cross by themselves. Buddha and Buddhism are just a joke in front of this land today and in front of the achievements of 140,000,000 Daxia people."
"Master, you mean, this land now..." The monkey suddenly seemed to understand something.
"Monkey, put aside your hatred first and look carefully at the land in front of you." Xuanzang looked at the vibrant mountains, rivers, lakes and seas and said softly: "Now, in this land, Buddhism no longer oppresses the demon clan, and the emperor no longer
By oppressing the common people, the Taoist gods will no longer be high in the clouds."
"Thieves have nowhere to escape, and good people are no longer destined to die."
"Children from farmers can sit in offices, children from poor families can live a prosperous life, top students can go to the fields, and the salary of officials is not necessarily higher than that of ordinary people."
"Although family background is still important, as long as you work hard, everyone can have a destiny of their own choice."
"Even the demon race can become a lawyer and defend the human race."
"Monkey, let me ask you, isn't this a world where all living beings are equal? Isn't that what you really want?"
The monkey stared blankly at the land in front of him. He looked at the monsters chatting and singing with the warriors, and at the Taoist priests who were arm-in-arm with the monsters.
His golden eyes swept across the rivers, looking at the perseverance in the eyes of the soldiers, the smiles on the faces of the students, the reunions of the workers with their families after get off work, and the barbecue gatherings of friends in the street.
The pair of blazing golden eyes that could see hundreds of miles suddenly became blurry, and the monkey rubbed the red corners of his eyes.
The monkey looked at the illusory figure and smiled bitterly: "Master, what I want to overthrow now is actually what I once wanted?"
"But, no matter what, Buddhism has suppressed our demon clan for thousands of years..."
He was still a little unwilling.
Suppressed for thousands of years!
Now, this account is no longer counted?
"Monkey, hatred will only cover your eyes." Xuanzang said softly: "If you take revenge, I will help you."
"But, do you really want the equality of all living beings if the demon clan dominates?"
"Is it possible for your demon clan to create such a prosperous world?"
"Isn't this prosperous age what you want?"
"Let these monsters go, monkey, it's time for you to let go too. It's time for you to go in and experience the prosperous age you want."
The monsters who had already begun to have a bonfire barbecue with the Taoist disciples shouted loudly: "Great Sage, put it down!"
"We all accept it!"
"To be honest, we were no better than you at that time! I know you were wronged, but we were chased and beaten by you, so we were even more wronged than you were!"
"That's right, Great Sage, if you really want to take revenge, which monster here has not killed a few of its ancestors by you?"
"Great Sage, it's all over, let's not mention it anymore! We just think it's pretty good now! In the past, those Taoist brothers who were always willing to eliminate demons and protect the Tao were actually quite easy to talk to."
"We really can't defeat the key!"
The monkey was silent for a long time, then looked at Xuanzang: "Master, have these human races found a real way to save people?"
Xuanzang nodded and said: "The real method of saving people... is not found in Mahayana Buddhism. I have searched all over it and still can't find it, but I also know that there is a method that can save the world."
"What method?" Monkey suddenly asked.
Xuanzang chuckled and said: "The Law of Daxia."
"Before this law, all living beings are equal!"
"Ignore you monsters, humans, Buddhas, gods, and gods. With this method, all living beings are truly equal!"
As soon as these words came out, the monkey's whole body was shocked!
"As for the true way to liberation, the true equality of all living beings..." Xuanzang looked at the Great Steel Wall.
To be precise, it is the red flag that stands on the ground and flutters in the sea breeze.
