Chapter 21 It turns out that Tang Monk is the best leek
Chen Xuanzang was a little dumbfounded. When it comes to debating Buddhism, he has thousands of books in his heart.
Answers can be found at your fingertips.
When asked about the Land and Water Conference, Chen Xuanzang was a little confused. He had only heard the master mention it so far.
He knew very little about the Land and Water Conference and didn't know how to face it.
I also heard that it was the Bodhisattva who supervised the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to quickly hold a land and water conference.
This is indeed a bit hard to say.
In Chen Xuanzang's view, Bodhisattva is a great compassionate Bodhisattva who saves suffering and is the teacher of the Seven Buddhas.
The act of not having three hundred taels of silver in this place was indeed not the Bodhisattva he had in mind.
"Was the Land and Water Congress organized by the Bodhisattva?" Chen Xuanzang did not expect that the Land and Water Congress had such a background.
"To be precise, Buddhism set up a trap to scare my father to the underworld.
I came back to the underworld to witness the retribution of karma and the five reincarnations.
My old father, who has never seen such symptoms, was so frightened that he promised to build a land and water conference." Li Ke said unceremoniously.
After hearing this, Chen Xuanzang's eyes lit up and he actually asked the following sentence, "How is the scene in the underworld?
Is it inconsistent with the description in Buddhist scriptures?"
Li Ke smiled bitterly in his heart, "This will have to wait until you ask my father face to face.
I haven’t been to the underworld, so I don’t know.”
"Since I mentioned this, I have to mention this deep doubt buried in my heart.
Since all appearances are false, why should we care about these eighteen levels of hell?
Why does the Buddha still want to save the evil people in this hell?
Why do we still need to hold a land and water conference for metamorphosis?" Li Ke directly questioned what Chen Xuanzang would do next.
"To save the complaining souls in the underworld, this is an immeasurable merit..." Chen Xuanzang's train of thought surprised Li Ke.
Li Ke was questioning the matter, but Chen Xuanzang was talking about merit, but Li Ke forced the topic back.
Ask Chen Xuanzang again why he divided the world into three, six, and nine levels and created the six paths of reincarnation.
Why are we divided into eighteen levels of hell? Wouldn’t we have a discriminating mind and violate Buddhism to destroy all sentient beings?
But there are really no sentient beings who can be annihilated...
Chen Xuanzang was speechless again. He had been reading scriptures for more than ten years and almost believed in the records in the scriptures.
Whether it is the thirty-third heaven, the eighteenth level of hell, or the way of Buddha and Immortal, it can produce true faith.
Now Li Ke is directly trying to subvert his cognition, which is like something he firmly believes in suddenly shattered or disappeared.
Chen Xuanzang has read countless Buddhist classics and has millions of books in his mind. Now he doesn’t know how to answer Li Ke’s doubts.
"His Royal Highness actually explored the origins of Buddhas and demons so deeply,
How does His Highness interpret Buddha? The young monk is fortunate to have a profound discussion with the third prince..." Chen Xuanzang was surprised by some of Li Ke's unique insights.
"Li Ke doesn't read much, but I would like to tell Master Xuanzang what I have learned.
In my heart, Buddhas, demons, demons, immortals, gods, and spirits are all just practicing in their own way.
The difference is that the choice of the heart is different,
There is no right or wrong in the Tao, and there is no need to differentiate, but the heart of pursuing one’s true self.
The evil thoughts in the heart are demons, the thoughts in mind are immortals, the empty thoughts in mind are Buddhas, the resentful thoughts in mind are spirits, the thoughts without thoughts are gods, the thoughts in mind are demons...
In a single thought, people are Buddhas, demons, monsters, immortals, gods, and people are all living beings.
According to the chemical book I once read,
All things can transform into each other, and the demons of the past may be the Buddhas of this life.
In short, it means that the emptiness turns into spirit, the spirit turns into qi, and the qi turns into form. Form is born and all things are blocked.
Whether you want to be a Buddha or a demon all depends on your own mind..." Li Ke's words shocked Chen Xuanzang.
Li Ke confused all Buddhas, demons, immortals and gods, and blended them together.
The Buddha is the devil, which made Chen Xuanzang frown.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, Chen Xuanzang was shaken by the meaning of the Buddha's scriptures, confused about the Buddha's way, and felt tormented. You will be rewarded with 8655 points of tyranny!]
The system suddenly sounded, which shocked Li Ke!
Let me go! It turns out that Chen Xuanzang (Tang Monk)’s leeks are of higher quality.
Chen Xuanzang felt entangled in his heart, "If there is no separation between Buddha and devil, why bother to conquer the devil...
No, the inner demons in the world still need to be eliminated."
"In the Tang Dynasty, there was Taoism and Zen Buddhism. His Majesty ordered the masters to go west to seek Buddhist scriptures in order to replace the Chinese Taoism and convert all people.
Turn all people into Western Buddhists,
I feel sad for the origin of Chinese Zen Buddhism..."
As he spoke, Li Ke burst into tears, "I don't know why no one has passed on the essence left by my Chinese ancestors?
It is also about teaching people enlightenment, and it is also about cultivating both life and life.
Why do you choose to go far instead of the near?"
Li Keyue said that the heart of Chen Xuanzang, who had never experienced the world, became more complicated.
Chen Xuanzang really wants to ask you these questions, why don’t you go to my master?
And what about me, a little monk who has never been involved in the world?
"Buddhism and Taoism have the same origin, so how can we differentiate between minds?
All conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such.
Isn’t this the Taoist principle of existence and non-preservation of existence?
Obviously four words can be substituted, but these four words can actually lead to enlightenment all year round.
Isn’t this the quiet inaction advocated by Taoism?
"Li Ke directly put Buddhism and Taoism together for debate.
A direct attack on Chen Xuanzang’s Buddhist heart.
"The Tathagata said that if the Dharma is like a raft, the Dharma should be given up, let alone the illegal one! Therefore, it is said that there is no need to adopt the Dharma, and there is no need to adopt the illegal one.
Isn't this what our Taoists call tranquility and nothingness, and the flying goose without trace?
Isn’t this just that Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things?
Master Xuanzang, what do you think? Please clarify my doubts." Li Ke looked at Chen Xuanzang with sharp eyes.
"This... I still need to ask my master,
I have very little knowledge of Taoist classics." Chen Xuanzang began to blush a little.
"Master Xuanzang, the Buddha said, don't be discriminatory. Why do you only read Buddhist scriptures but not Taoist scriptures?" Li Ke continued to ask aggressively.
……
In the early morning of the next day, I immediately got up early and meditated on the mountain behind my relatives.
After a morning of self-cultivation, I found that the scale of the Octagonal Underground Palace has only gone a few hundred.
No wonder I want to cultivate the golden elixir, or even compete for thousands of years. The ancients will not deceive me.
If you want to become an immortal quickly, you still need to take medicine and pills.
I took a look at the free-wheeling scale. Although the progress is not fast, I am still satisfied.
Do whatever you want [Level 2, 20/100]
Reaching level two, the dark green ring at the back is one-fifth gone.
Although there are not many, there is a qualitative change after each promotion.
An opportunity that can be clearly felt is that the range of opportunities that he can isolate has become larger.
Then the isolation time also became longer.
It seems that there is an area around it as the center that has become its own domain.
Not only can you observe everything in this field, but you can also zoom in or out to observe carefully.
It can also cut off the connection between things in this area and the surrounding environment.
According to the physics principles that Li Ke learned in his previous life, everything is in motion.
And they are related to each other, so forcibly cutting off the connection between this area and the surrounding area,
This area naturally became an independent small universe, a small universe that Li Ke could control.
This feeling makes Li Ke feel like he has a back garden,
This feeling is very comfortable.
Li Ke stretched and performed a set of punches. This set of punches was the Xinyi Boxing that Li Ke preferred in his previous life.
After coming to this world, he decided to improve this set of boxing and create his own unique skill.
It's called Xinyiquan, and the punches are all based on the mind.
As soon as Xin Yi Quan finished its work, he saw Chen Xuanzang with panda eyes.
I'm sorry this little monk didn't sleep all night, it's no wonder,
When your perception is subverted,
When something you have always believed in is shaken, it will be difficult for you to sleep.
Just like the dream you have been pursuing,
When others tell you that this dream is impossible to realize,
