Facing the incomprehensible Sakyamuni, a group of Eastern monks were very confused. It was not that they did not have people with a firm Taoist heart, but compared with the weirdo Sakyamuni, they seemed insignificant.
After several debates, it was discovered that this person was not only a master of Buddhism and Mahayana, but also had an incredible understanding of Taoism.
Until an old Taoist named Li Er appeared.
When he appeared, Sakyamuni had already defeated many people in Dharma and debate.
And everyone is convinced that if they lose, they lose. They don’t lose by being evenly matched, but they lose by crushing each other.
This is not because the spiritual world is too weak, but because all the masters in the spiritual world have gone to the fairy world, so it seems that the eastern spiritual world is very weak.
Li Er carried the Mahayana of Taoism and created a "Tao Te Ching" that emphasized Taoism as well as virtue.
Heart virtue, heavenly virtue, earthly virtue, benevolence, the virtue of doing nothing, the way of doing nothing, five thousand words are spread out, each word is pearl.
At the moment when Li Er and Sakyamuni were discussing Taoism, they could only see a sign of the saint coming from the east with purple energy, and an image of the Buddha with golden light stretching far and wide.
Both of them were unknown people before. Sakyamuni was unknown before he made his great ambitions; and Li Er was even more so. Who would have thought that there was such a master in the East.
Both of them were golden immortals, and at first they thought Li Er was a challenger who was overestimating his abilities. Fortunately, Sakyamuni was kind-hearted and would not reject anyone who came.
No matter you are famous or unknown, as long as you dare to discuss the truth, you will not look down on the other party because of his or her status.
When Li Er, who was an immortal Taoist, came to discuss Taoism, there were already many masters coming to ask for advice at the place where Sakyamuni stayed.
Without exception, they all failed.
Li Er, no one cares, but who cares about the unknown old Taoist.
However, when the two people really started to debate the truth, one purple energy came from the east, the other golden light, and the entire spiritual world was suddenly shaken by the two people's discussion.
One is the "Tao Te Ching", the other is the "Tathagata Sutra", the battle between inaction and transcendence, and the two focus on the perception of "heart".
Not to mention anything else, when the two were discussing the Dharma, the people around them were solemn for a while. Some of them crossed their legs and had an epiphany, while others were confused and shook their heads.
Li Er, who could barely stabilize his mind, looked at Li Er with an incredulous look on his face and thought to himself: How can such an expert come from, to have such a holy heart?
Is this person the manifestation of a saint, or is he born from heaven and earth?
No one knows the origin of Li Er, but after this time he will become the ancestor of Taoism in the spiritual world, explaining heaven and earth, the Tao heart corresponding to heaven and earth, how to survive and seek Tao, and elucidating the heart of heaven, the heart of earth and the heart of man.
Sakyamuni was astonished and thought: There are indeed outstanding people in the East.
I came from the west and it lasted for thousands of years. Every step I took was pious and every step was a lotus. I was moved by the heavens and the earth. Everywhere I passed was Buddha land.
This is nothing, this is the answer to my vow.
But since I came to the East, although many people are afraid of my Taoist heart, there are still many people who talk to me about Taoism.
However, there is no doubt that I won them all easily.
Having been in the East for hundreds of years, during which time he suffered countless defeats at his own hands. Sakyamuni felt that he was about to reach the Mahayana, the final step of enlightenment, become a Buddha, and resolve the contradiction between the East and the West.
However, with the arrival of Old Taoist Li Er, I actually felt like I was going to fail.
Especially the old Taoist saying: Buddha is the Tao.
These four words have become an insurmountable mountain for me. Whatever I think, the Taoist opposite can explain it through Taoism, and can even go further than I think and explain more profound principles.
One step behind, every step behind, and you will lose from the beginning.
It seemed that the person in front of him was not a golden immortal, but a perfect saint.
Otherwise, why would his nearly perfect Buddha Dharma be full of loopholes in front of him? Only the perfection of the sage Hunyuan Ruyi can guide him or even defeat him.
…
"Who are you?" Sakyamuni finally asked.
He failed. His own perception and understanding, as well as his own Tao, all failed. They were all defeated by the old Tao in front of him.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, poor Taoist Li Er." Li Er nodded and said.
"No, you are not Li Er, you are a saint! No one can defeat me except a saint." Sakyamuni did not believe it.
On the other hand, Li Er, who was opposite, smiled slightly and said: "The time has come, wake up!"
Li Er pointed his finger and pointed it at the center of Sakyamuni's eyebrows.
When Sakyamuni raised money, he felt dizzy.
"boom"
"Sakyamuni, Duobao, I am..."
"I am... Taoist Lord Duobao, I am a disciple of Jie Jiao, I..."
In an instant, all kinds of enlightenments began to appear. In one scene after another, Sakyamuni shuddered and finally returned from his previous life and finally understood his origin.
Then, paragraphs of insights into Mahayana Buddhism began to emerge, which were born out of Hinayana Buddhism at this moment. It is the Dharma of Dacheng Buddhism jointly deduced by the Three Pure Ones: Zen.
A comprehensive explanation of the Zen method and a way to follow the heavens are both Buddhas, but they are different from each other. A Buddha with eight hundred schools of thought and a Buddha with three thousand avenues.
The superiors and the superiors made a judgment, and Sakyamuni woke up.
"Amitabha, the poor Taoist has been defeated." Sakyamuni said to Li Er.
In fact, both of them knew it in their hearts, but it wasn't the time to reveal it yet.
Li Er did the same thing, and said to Sakyamuni: "Thank you for discussing the Tao, my fellow Taoist. I have reached a perfect understanding, so I'll say goodbye."
"Buzz"
In order not to leave any traces, Li Er began to change. Slowly, Jinxian, Taiyi, Daluo, Daluo blossomed...quasi-sage...perfection.
"Buzz"
"Tao can be explained, but not Tao; name can be named, but not named. Nameless, the beginning of all things, named, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always no desire to observe its wonders, and there is always desire to observe its pleasures. These two are the same
They have different names, but they are all called mysterious. The mysterious is mysterious again, and it is the door to all mysteries."
The complete "Tao Te Ching" is written in exquisite detail.
The purple energy traveled thirty thousand miles eastward, and countless monks who witnessed the two men discussing Tao suddenly felt solemn.
"...The poor man has perfected his merits and has become a saint..."
"Buzz"
Li Er ascended?
From the perspective of beings in the spiritual world, it means ascending.
Those with advanced cultivation know that there is a platform for ascending to immortality in heaven, which is a place for ascension to a higher immortal world.
If the spirit world wants to enter the fairy world, it must first reach the Golden Immortal, and second, go to heaven and enter the ascension platform to go to the fairy world.
But I have never seen anyone like Li Er ascending out of thin air, or the so-called saint ascending.
Not only that, he also left behind a "Tao Te Ching", which is the method of enlightenment.
This kind of magic is obviously beyond the vision of the beings in the spiritual world. They don't know the layout and calculations in it, and firmly believe that Taoist Li Er has become a saint.
There are even many rumors later that Li Er is the reincarnation of the saint to enlighten all living beings, and Li Er is the clone of the saint Laozi...
These are the angry words spread by Buddhism after learning about it.
In addition, there are also many living beings who believe that Li Er is a man of great virtue, a man who was sent down to preach the Dharma because the heaven and earth sensed that the living beings were struggling to seek the way.
In short, this discussion of Taoism and Buddhism failed, and Taoism became the strongest.
Let’s talk about the present moment.
After watching Li Er ascend and leave behind the Tao Te Ching, Sakyamuni (also known as Duobao) knew that his mission had begun.
However, I don’t know why? Sakyamuni must have been deeply enlightened by the Buddha’s teachings in this life, or it may be that his profound luck in Buddhism changed him.
After he thought about splitting Buddhism, he felt a sense of intolerance and guilt.
He discovered this, but didn't dare to think about it.
He told himself: "I am Jie Jiao Duobao, not Sakyamuni. My mission is to split Buddhism, split..."
With this thought, I firmly told myself that I am Duobao.
After he admitted his failure, Buddhism, which had been improving all the time before, suddenly trembled.
The luck has actually stopped. Not to mention it has stopped, but there is still a tendency for the fusion to weaken.
This frightened the entire Buddhism in the spiritual world. When they investigated, they found out that it was Sakyamuni who failed, and the one who defeated him was a Taoist named Li Er.
This Taoist deserves to die. He has destroyed the eternal foundation of Buddhism and must die.
When Nai He investigated, he discovered that Li Er had ascended.
It is said that he has become a saint. Apart from leaving behind the "Tao Te Ching" to prove his existence, there is nothing else. It seems that he has never existed.
The Buddhist Amitabha couldn't help but deduce, and all kinds of obscurations and fogs, he was sure that if it weren't for the calculation of the saint, he would be considered useless.
The designation was the sage's plan, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to deduce where Li Er came from.
But when you want to accuse Li Er and ask questions, you find that there is no trace of Li Er. You can't find any evidence. How can you say it is the sage's calculation?
Buddhism in the spiritual world.
"I, I am such a shameless person. I am not a saint. To bully a junior is shameless. You pretend to be a saint."
The moment he saw the Tao Te Ching, Amitabha affirmed that there was no one else but Lao Tzu. This was another explanation of the way of inaction.
I was on every possible precaution, but I didn't expect that when I was about to succeed, I was tricked.
I just don’t know what happened to Sakyamuni?
Soon after, Sakyamuni returned. Except for turning the places he passed into Buddhist lands on his way eastward, the Taoist family was still dominant in the east.
He originally influenced many living beings and allowed Eastern living beings to understand Buddhism, but was defeated by Li Er. After Li Er passed down the "Tao Te Ching", all his achievements fell short.
The momentum of Buddhism's eastward journey came to an abrupt halt, even though the East's view of Buddhism changed.
But it's just that I'm no longer hostile, I haven't completely accepted it yet.
Although it has exceeded expectations, who would be willing to accept this barely passing 60 points if they could have achieved the best possible score of 100 points?
Buddhism is unwilling to accept it.
From the beginning of Sakyamuni's eastward journey, they were very satisfied with passing sixty points, thus resolving the confrontation between the East and the West.
But later, Sakyamuni slowly exceeded his expectations, and Buddhism began to pursue one hundred percent, which not only resolved conflicts, but also spread the Dharma to the East in one step.
Now? It’s impossible.
In addition, I don’t know whether Sakyamuni was hit or not, and whether the Buddha’s mind was defeated. If the Buddha’s mind was defeated, he would lose money.
The fall of a Tianding Buddha head is comparable to the one that spreads the Dharma in the East.
This is the biggest reason for Buddhist hatred.
So soon it was spread that Li Er was a clone of Lao Tzu, and it was to deal with Buddhism. I was despicable and shameless, and I was nothing.
These messages spread to the East and became one of the many stories about the mystery of Lao Tzu's identity.
Sakyamuni is back.
Returned to the Buddhist spiritual mountain in the spiritual world.
Ran Deng waited for the Buddha to be very uneasy. Sakyamuni had changed. Although the Buddha's heart was not broken, the impact was still great.
Enlightenment has stopped moving forward, let alone attaining enlightenment and becoming a Buddha again, even if we can keep this moment, it would be good.
Buddhism has misunderstood this point. It was not defeated by Lao Tzu, but caused by Duobao's own thoughts.
Is it to split Buddhism? Or to follow the heart and perfect Buddhism?
Duobao once thought that he was a very steadfast person, extremely firm in Jie Jiao, but why did he change now?
He did not know that the prosperity of Buddhism was the general trend. How could his firm Taoism hinder the general trend?
He firmly believes that he is a person who intercepts teachings, but under the general trend, he has slowly changed.
Sakyamuni fell into extremes.
There is a sentence that can explain his current dilemma:
The world is safe and secure, and I will not let you down.
He was wondering, is there a method that can do both things well, which can strengthen Buddhism without harming Taoism, strengthen both, and resolve conflicts between them?
It seems not. After thinking about it for a long time, I can't think of a way to have both.
If you fail to live up to Tathagata (Buddhism), you will have no choice but to live up to Qing (Xuanmen).
Only by defeating the Tathagata (Buddhism) can you achieve success (Xuanmen).
It's really uncomfortable. There is no way to achieve both of them and live up to both.
Sakyamuni was troubled because he couldn't tell the difference. Although the Ancient Buddha of Burning Deng, the Medicine Buddha, the Glazed Buddha, etc. came to persuade and enlighten him, they had no effect at all.
Sakyamuni knew what he was thinking. It was not the collapse of the Taoist mind as Buddhism thinks, but how to choose?
Later, when it was still useless, Amitabha Buddha, who had transformed into a spiritual mountain, gave his advice and allowed Sakyamuni to enter the spiritual mountain complex where he had transformed himself, hoping to enlighten and save Sakyamuni through his own Buddha nature.
Sakyamuni had no objection, so he went to Lingshan Fudi, thinking: Maybe Amitabha's wisdom would allow him to find a method that would bring him both benefits.
In Lingshan Complex, the Golden-winged Dapeng was imprisoned. The Golden-winged Dapeng was worried for a long time and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The damn bald donkey luck finally stopped and did not continue to improve.
He was happy to see this.
Besides, I was not happy for a long time when I suddenly saw a little Jiedi who was at the level of a golden immortal.
This little Jiedhi is so capable. Only Bodhisattvas and Buddhas can enter this spiritual mountain complex. How can this mere golden immortal Jiedhi be able to enter unimpeded?
The golden-winged roc was very confused.
later……
Sakyamuni also discovered the suppressed Golden-winged Dapeng. As Duobao's previous life, he naturally knew the origin of the Golden-winged Dapeng.
This son is the son of the ancestor Feng Shihuang, and he also has a sister and a second brother.
My elder sister is Feng Wu, the eldest princess of the Phoenix clan. It is said that she has cultivated to Tongxuan and has reached the late stage of quasi-sage or even reached perfection. She has not been seen for a long time.
When she was in the fairy world, some people speculated that the eldest princess was making a breakthrough in seclusion.
And the second brother is Kong Xuan, one of the current six emperors, unfathomable, and the chief protector of the third generation of Wuliang Sect.
Only this golden-winged roc was said to be unruly and had tried to commit suicide several times. If it had not been for good luck, he would have died a long time ago. Because he was the son of Zu Feng, he had escaped many fatal situations.
The moment the two met face to face, the Golden-winged Dapeng was shocked. He was unruly and unruly, but his cultivation was not bad and his understanding of Buddhism was not bad, otherwise he would not have attained the status of Bodhisattva.
The moment he saw Sakyamuni, the golden-winged roc actually saw the Buddha, the Buddha nature and the Buddha heart of the three great Buddhas. This made him full of surprise and jealousy.
An unknown person has such a good foundation. Although he is infinitely close to a quasi-sage, he is not in the end. How can he not be jealous.
What is Sakyamuni thinking?
This golden-winged roc is the only one in Lingshan who hates Buddhism. Maybe I can gain something by communicating with him.
He even used this person to break up Buddhism.
These plans were explained to Sanqing before he was reincarnated. Sanqing considered all plans to reduce Buddhism, among which the golden-winged roc was one of them.
"How about letting him go? How about letting the golden-winged roc go and cause trouble to Buddhism, and convert yourself to Buddhism?" Sakyamuni thought.
With the passage of time and his clear understanding of Buddhism, Sakyamuni unknowingly and under the influence of the general trend, he became closer and closer to Buddhism.
He could feel this himself, and he also thought that this was the general trend. At worst, he would follow this general trend and achieve the surprise that the teacher said.
When Buddhism declines and you are no longer affected by the general trend, you can rebel against Buddhism and drain the fire under the cauldron.
Tongtian told Sakyamuni (Duobao) everything, for example, he had no life or death crisis, it was nothing but failure and success.
He also said that there was an accident. After all, Buddhism was the general trend and it was possible for him to fail.
He even told him that it didn't matter if he failed. The worst thing he could do was continue to wait until Buddhism declined and there would be no more heaven and earth to protect him before he could fight back.
During this period of time, Sakyamuni has felt the impact of the general trend. He is so entangled in it. He knows very well that this is the impact of the general trend on him.
Moreover, it is best for you to make judgments about this influence early, otherwise it will get worse and worse. Not only will you not be able to complete the instructions given by Teacher Tongtian, but even your own counterattack after the decline of Buddhism will be affected.
From this point, we can see that Sakyamuni intended to fulfill Buddhism, wait for Buddhism to decline and fight back, intending to fulfill the accident mentioned by Sanqing.
Even Sanqing was affected. If Tongtian didn't tell Duobao so clearly, there might be an accident.
If he hadn't said it? Maybe he wouldn't have been as entangled as Shakyamuni at the moment.
This is the general trend of the overall situation, and the impact on Sakyamuni is only a negligible one.
With this idea in mind, Sakyamuni planned to release the Golden-winged Dapeng, and let the powerful second generation of the Golden-winged Dapoc go to harm Buddhism, and achieve the goal of declining Buddhism that lives up to Taoism.
And I no longer struggle to achieve Buddhism and live up to Buddhism.
Achieve what you think is the best situation, the way to have both sides.
That’s it!
He began to contact the golden-winged roc, with the idea of releasing this scourge,
However, the Golden-winged Dapeng brought losses to Buddhism with the idea of killing him.
Two 'people', each with their own agenda, slowly began to come into contact.
Amitabha was very uneasy about this situation, but slowly he discovered that Sakyamuni's previously unstable mind had stabilized after being in contact with the Golden-winged Dapeng.
This makes Amitabha very puzzled. Talking about the Tao with an evil obstacle can actually stabilize the Tao mind?
As everyone knows, this is actually Sakyamuni's self-stabilization after firming up his thoughts and no longer being entangled.
Amitabha doesn’t know the reason!
But seeing that Sakyamuni has made progress, let’s just take a look and talk about it.
This observation has been made for the past ten years.
As the two communicated, the Golden-winged Dapeng became more and more hateful. He hated the man named Sakyamuni, who turned out to be the culprit who had made Buddhism's luck grow in the past. Moreover, this man's talent was so good that he was jealous of him.
And Sakyamuni found that he aroused the endless hatred of the Golden-winged Dapeng. Although the Golden-winged Dapeng was hiding it, he knew it very well.
As long as he releases this golden-winged roc, the golden-winged roc will definitely rebel immediately and cause damage to Buddhism.
Sakyamuni felt that it was time to make a decision.
…
This day.
After discussing Taoism with the Golden-winged Dapeng, Sakyamuni suddenly asked: "Is what my fellow Taoist said true?"
Golden-winged Dapeng was excited, "Of course, let alone Lingshan, I can't fake it, can I?"
In fact, Amitabha is very clear about all this.
In his opinion, it was the Golden-winged Dapeng that beguiled Sakyamuni to release him, and Sakyamuni believed it and planned to release the Golden-winged Dapeng.
Amitabha did not stop him, and he was not sure whether the golden-winged roc was real or fake.
What's more, I'm not afraid of fake ones. It might be helpful to give Sakyamuni a memory. Anyway, the golden-winged roc can't overthrow the sky in Lingshan Mountain.
He acquiesced.
After hearing this, Sakyamuni knew that what the Golden-winged Dapeng said was false.
But as long as he takes the Golden-winged Dapeng out of Lingshan, whether the Golden-winged Dapeng really repented and admitted his mistake, or immediately turned around and ignored it, the plan has been achieved.
In this way, after some thinking, Sakyamuni felt that he could not wait any longer. If he was further affected, he might give up releasing the golden-winged roc.
Rather than that, it is better to release the golden-winged roc while you still have feelings for Xuanmen.
Therefore, Sakyamuni released the golden-winged roc.
I thought it would be very troublesome, but with the acquiescence of Amitabha, Amitabha let Sakyamuni teach me a lesson and let him go easily.
result……?
"Ha ha……"
I saw the golden-winged roc roaring loudly, "Finally, it's out, it's finally out."
Sakyamuni breathed a sigh of relief, this attitude explained everything.
It shows that the Golden-winged Dapeng hates Buddhism beyond measure. Very good, very good.
"Fellow Taoist, let's go and confess our mistakes to the three Buddhas. Then you will return to my Buddhahood." According to the plan, Sakyamuni began to act.
For now, let's take the Golden-winged Dapeng out of Lingshan and regain the land. The rebellion of the Golden-winged Dapeng will not be his own business.
After Golden-winged Dapeng rebelled and escaped, he immediately "regretted and showed his uneasiness to Buddhism", and then he suddenly became a Buddha and completely converted to Buddhism.
What a good plan, what a good way to achieve both ends, Sakyamuni thought so.
"Admit your mistake?" Golden-winged Dapeng smiled, "I admit it's the ball's mistake. I'll die."
"Swallow the sky and the earth!"
"Buzz"
Amitabha Buddha was enlightened, and so was Sakyamuni?
Amitabha: The script is wrong. Why does this evil obstacle take action here?
Sakyamuni: The script is wrong, why was I swallowed?
