At the beginning of the dispute over Interpretation and Jie, it was obvious that Jiejiao, who represented the interests of the two demon and witch clans, actually had the upper hand, because at this time the old guys from the two demon and witch clans were still alive and powerful, so King Wen Shou
Stories such as being imprisoned and Boyikao being killed have been handed down.
However, as time went by, the climate of heaven and earth was still more suitable for the growth of the human race, and Chanjiao gradually gained the upper hand, and finally defeated Jiejiao in one fell swoop.
This calamity was apparently an internal dispute within the sect. Yuqing, who was at the top, was not killed, but was simply imprisoned. Unlike the previous battle between Tao and Demon, one must die.
In addition, the failed Jiejiao was accused by Chanjiao of being an evil sect and a evil sect. Juxtaposing Jiejiao with the devil meant that Jiejiao was trapped in a mud pit and could not get out. The word "evil" was before the word "magic".
It is true that heretics are more hateful than pagans, which is thought-provoking.
After that, Buddhism flourished. Buddhism also has a long heritage. Buddhism followed the second ancestor Zhunti, who was also born in the ancient times. It is self-contained and has nothing to do with the two qi of pure and turbid.
During the fight, they did not intervene to take sides.
But after the Taoist ancestors won the victory, the second Buddhist ancestor went to the Taoist ancestors' court to listen to the sermons, which was regarded as entering the Taoist ancestors' court. Because the direction of the rise of Buddhism was in the west, there is also a story about Laozi turning into a beard.
Of course, this story was attached to it by the descendants of the Taoist sect and is false. I am one of the Three Pure Ones and the same generation as the second ancestor of the Taoist sect. How can I turn it into nonsense? My discussion of Taoism is almost the same.
What is worth mentioning here is that the three pure states of Taoism are the same as the origins of Taoist ancestors. They are all transformed by the pure air of heaven and earth (about Taoist ancestors, there are also legends that they come from chaotic monsters. This theory cannot be verified? So this theory is not adopted)? So Taoism
Sanqing claimed to be the true successor of the Taoist ancestors, but looked down upon the second ancestor of Buddhism.
Therefore, in the Taoist classics, the section about the second Buddhist ancestor listening to the Taoist teachings has almost been omitted. In fact, the Taoist Sanqing and the second Buddhist ancestor were both disciples of the Taoist ancestor. In the last days of ancient times, they successively became Hunyuan Wuji saints. In terms of identity,
In terms of cultivation, there is almost no difference.
At the beginning, the inheritance of Buddhism was not as good as that of Taoism. Many people thought that it was because Buddhism occupied the west of the world and had poor resources and few living beings. This is pure nonsense.
This is a simple geographical determinism. Just imagine that the second ancestor of Buddhism became a saint. Where in the world can't he go? Is it not easy to recruit a disciple? Or even take action to make the West a place of outstanding people? It is also a matter of mind.
The reason why the Taoism spread by the Sanqing Dynasty is more prosperous than Buddhism is related to morality. The methods such as elixirs, magic weapons, arrays, talismans, etc. can allow the weak to defeat the strong, and defeat the two lich tribes that are far stronger than themselves.
However, Buddhism’s cultivation of mind, talk about cause and effect, and retribution are not easy to get started with. Even though you have extraordinary abilities once you get started, it is not easy to just get started, let alone master it.
Therefore, in the beginning, that is, in the Middle Ages, Taoism almost dominated the world, and Buddhism shrank to a corner without any fame. Many people have forgotten that the second ancestor of Buddhism was also a disciple of Taoism like the Sanqing Dynasty.
Focus on the calamity of modern times, that is, the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism. At the beginning of modern times, Taoism dominated the world. There is no doubt that just like the demons and witches were still the mainstream in the early Middle Ages, the old forces of the previous era, even in the new era,
In the early stage, it is also unshakable and cannot disappear inexplicably.
The turning point of Buddhism comes from the development of the human race, and the decline of Taoism also comes from the development of the human race.
What is the development of the human race? In short, the struggle against extraordinary power is the development of the way of human kings.
There are thousands of human beings, just like the number of stars in the Ganges, but there are only a few who are able to practice Taoism and have achieved success in it. It is outrageous. The Taoist sect's methods are still the ancient style in the final analysis, despite the efforts made for the human race.
There are some adjustments, but the essence is still about qualifications and spirituality. I don’t know how many ordinary people will be brushed off by this one.
What is the way of a human king? In a nutshell, it represents the interests of the vast majority of the human race.
Some human beings who have the qualifications to cultivate immortals, after entering the immortal sect and cultivating supernatural powers, do not regard themselves as a member of the human race at all. Like witches and witches, they regard ordinary humans as slaves.
Most of the children of the two races of demons and witches are ignorant. Even if they are oppressed, they just accept it willingly. However, the human race has developed spiritual wisdom. Although it is weak, it is the race with the highest overall spiritual intelligence among the hundreds of races.
Therefore, the pursuit of fairness by ordinary people without qualifications sprouted. This is the foundation for the birth of the King of Humans.
The Way of the Human King was born as early as the Middle Ages. It was initially used to unite the hearts of the human race to fight against the two demon and witch clans. As the two demon and witch clans became out of control and tended to decline, gradually, the internal contradictions within the human race, that is, between the extraordinary human race and the
The confrontation between ordinary human beings has become the mainstream.
After defeating the two Lich clans, the human race has become the well-deserved protagonist in the world. Just like the sun in the sky, it is arrogant and divided only when it is strong. This split is like this.
Sometimes, the story of war and peace is worth thinking about. People always think that after war comes peace, but peace also breeds the next war. If you have not found the enemy, then your previous comrades are your enemies.
There must always be enemies or opponents, so that the world can develop, otherwise it will be a pool of stagnant water. Someone answered this, but who can tell clearly what the real answer is?
This split of the human race weakened the strength of the Taoist sect, but it also allowed the Buddhist sect to see an opportunity. When the Taoist sect tried its best to suppress the way of the human king and the humane dynasties established as a result, the Buddhist sect actively preached within these humane dynasties.
When Buddhism talks about the nature of mind, it does not have high requirements for qualifications. It emphasizes the so-called wisdom root and the vast number of sentient beings. There are definitely more people with the so-called wisdom root than those with qualifications, and the numerical gap is definitely hundreds of times.
Even if you don't have the root of wisdom, if you believe in Buddhism, you can still bring incense and divine power to Buddhism and increase the divine power of Buddha. Therefore, Buddhism is extremely eager to promote this matter, even in small and remote areas, mountains of swords and seas of fire, the same preaching continues.
Taoism did not notice this trend at first, but after noticing it, it was no longer possible to change it, and was forced to make changes. Whatever Buddhism did, Taoism also learned. In this way, as a result of the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism, the two schools remained standing.
But the strength of the other factions has become increasingly low.
When the boss fights with the second, the third and fourth will die.
As for the internal struggles within the human race, even after the struggle between Taoism and Buddhism, it has not ended. The directions and means of struggle have become increasingly diverse.
If the Immortal Lingxun had not sent Wu Yi to this humane dynasty to listen to the great master's sermons every day, Wu Yi might not have embarked on this path and learned the methods of hundreds of schools of thought.
In whatever era there are, there are what kind of monks! That’s all.
