Chapter 875 Has Buddhism ever said that all living beings are equal?
Chapter 875 Did Buddhism say that all living beings are equal?
Facing Li Dan's words, Jueming smiled and said: "No, no, no, the layman misunderstood. That cause and effect has already ended. The young monk just relied on that cause and effect and wanted to continue on this line, but it will also be very difficult.
It’s almost over.”
After Jueming finished speaking, he made another point about Shenfu.
A fist-sized purple crystal appeared in his hand.
Vaguely, it looked like a vague beast roaring up to the sky, but it also seemed like a quiet figure.
Indescribably wonderful.
But Li Dan still sensed that this should be a monster crystal or something like that.
And this aura is from the realm of gods.
Is this Xuankong Temple so rich?
But what are you doing with this thing?
I don't want this thing.
But the next moment, Xiao San'er and Da Huang in Xiao Zi's house opened their eyes together, filled with urgency.
Li Dan narrowed his eyes.
Is this thing of great use to them?
Jueming said: "The young monk became a disciple of Master Xuanku of Xuankong Temple. He was considered the disciple with the most Buddhist nature. He was given the title of Buddha since he was a child. Therefore, he traveled to various temples for many years and debated Buddhist principles with ancient Buddhas.
, without a single defeat.
Until we passed Tianfo Temple, a highly respected ancient Buddha came out. He did not argue with me, but looked me up and down and told me that I was possessed by a demon.
At the beginning of the period, the young monk didn't pay much attention until he returned to Xuankong Temple and met my master. He also told me that I was possessed by a demon."
Several people looked at each other in disbelief at this handsome and shameless monk.
If this counts as becoming a demon, I'm afraid everyone in this world would like to become a demon.
Jueming continued: "At night when I returned to Xuankong Temple, the young monk got mad and almost accidentally injured all the brothers. Master told me that I have been lost in pursuing Buddhism blindly for so many years.
I wanted to change, but the throbbing in my heart made it impossible for me to continue to enter samadhi, so my master told me to keep walking eastward, saying that there was a layman who would make me fail and find myself again.
And asked me to come here with this crystal. This crystal was left behind by an enlightened eminent monk from Xuankong Temple after his incarnation. He was at the peak of the divine realm during his lifetime, and his body was an amethyst winged lion king."
Li Dan said: "How are you sure that I can make you fail? In other words, how do you think it's me?"
Jueming said: "On the way here, I also doubted my master's calculations. Until I saw you just now, I can be sure that you are that person, layman. No matter whether it is true or false, as long as I fail the debate once, I will find it again."
My former self, how about I give you this purple crystal as a gift?"
Li Dan looked at that thing, as well as the desires of Xiaosan and Dahuang in Xiaozi's mansion, and sighed for a while at the calculation of Master Xuanku.
It's really mysterious.
Normally, even if it were something left behind by a demonic beast at the peak of the divine realm, it would have no practical significance to him, so he would never want it.
But now, there are too few things that can interest these two guys.
The evolution of Xiao San is of great use to me.
The evolution of Rhubarb, if nothing else, at least in terms of time flow rate, has been greatly improved.
However, I can't argue with an outstanding Buddhist scholar.
Tell him that form is emptiness, and emptiness is form?
I guess they understand it better than I do.
But, I seem to have seen something before, so I should give it a try.
"Okay, then I'll try it!"
Hearing that Li Dan accepted it like this, Jueming's eyes lit up, and then he saluted: "Thank you, layman, for your help!"
Weng Yunqi scoffed.
Are you the only one arguing with such a Buddhist?
What the heck, don't think that just because you're young, you can understand everything.
Didn’t you listen to what this little master Jueming said? He and many ancient Buddhas, that is, immortal realm debaters, have never failed.
Qiong Ling'er looked at Li Dan worriedly.
Jueming had already put the crystal in his hand aside, and then sat cross-legged on the floor.
"Please ask the layman to ask a question, and the young monk will give you the answer!"
Li Dan glanced at the crystal, and then pondered for a moment: "May I ask, Master, does your Buddhist school say that all living beings are equal?"
Before Jueming could answer, Weng Yunqi on the side chuckled.
I thought you, an old guy who seizes other people's bodies, how can you defeat this Buddhist disciple? Is this the question you asked?
Even I know that the Buddha often said this.
Qiong Ling'er pouted, dissatisfied with this cheap master's attitude.
She knew everything about Li Dan.
No matter how others misunderstood Jiang Qingyue's seizure of his body and the matter of the tenth-grade alchemist, she stood with Li Dan from the beginning to the end.
And believe him.
Jueming looked at Li Dan, clasped his hands, and said humbly and politely: "Returning to lay people, yes, it is said in the Buddhist scriptures that all living beings are equal."
Li Dan continued to ask: "Since all living beings are equal, why should we believe in Buddha? If Buddha is so high, how can we say that all living beings are equal?!"
Following these words, Jueming was stunned.
He has been traveling around the world and discussing profound Buddhist principles with ancient Buddhas in major temples.
No one has thought about these most basic things, or things that are often talked about.
It's like asking someone suddenly why they need to eat?
Too common.
However, when Li Dan asked, Jueming suddenly didn't know how to explain it.
He was prepared for everything and went all out to meet his failure, but this failure came so unexpectedly.
It came so simple and clear, but it left him helpless.
For a moment, Jueming's extremely handsome face showed a thoughtful expression, until his brows were furrowed.
Qiong Ling'er on the side was full of admiration.
Weng Yunqi's expression changed slightly.
Such a simple question is like returning to nature in Buddhism.
It's really hard to explain.
Li Dan felt happy when he saw his appearance.
I didn't expect that this crystal at the peak of the divine realm would be delivered to my door in such a hurry, which made me feel a little embarrassed to take it.
Because this question is so acute, for ordinary people who are not Buddhists, they can explain it casually, which is commonly known as "argument".
But for Buddhists, especially those who have a deep understanding of Buddhism, they cannot explain it randomly, as that would be disrespectful.
Directly let your faith completely collapse.
But the so-called defense means asking questions yourself, and if the other party can answer them, that would be great.
If you can't answer it, you have to explain it yourself.
You can't ask him how many stars there are in the sky, and if he can't answer, then you have defeated him?
Isn’t this ridiculous?
Time passed little by little, and Jueming was thinking. Until after a stick of incense, Jueming suddenly raised his head.
The Buddha's light around him soars to the sky, and in his eyes are obsession, madness, delusion, and confusion...
After sitting down, a golden swastika Buddha seal suddenly came out and suppressed it directly.
Several people were shocked.
Is this monk's psychological quality so poor?
Until he saw him slowly recovering, he took a long breath, stood up, bowed deeply to Li Dan and said, "I would like to ask the layman to answer the question for the young monk."
After confirming that he had no other symptoms, Li Dan said: "I once read some Buddhist scriptures to relieve my mood due to work pressure. I guess you don't have those in this world, so I will quote a sentence from it.
"Sexual natures are inherently equal, and there are no equals. My eyes can see everything, but they cannot see my own eyesight. Also, when the eyes shine on something, all the objects are seen to be one, so it is said that they are equal.
"There is also a Buddhist scripture that monks and wise men should carefully observe my words, just like refining, cutting and polishing gold. Belief and acceptance are not just reverence!"
"This is a privilege given by the Buddha to all people. Doubt is encouraged, so all living beings are equal!"
As Li Dan finished speaking, everyone else was stunned, but Jueming's pupils shrank.
