"When three of us travel together, we must be my teacher!"
Being lucky enough to participate in such a grand event is a blessing for a poor person and a blessing for all living beings!"
Lou Xiaoyi was polite but didn't mean what he said.
Hands-free, but he is a familiar person. Maybe he felt uneasy because of the opposite role with him, so he came here to ease his feelings? As soon as the conversation started, it was endless. It seemed that She She next to him wanted to drive him away but didn't know how to start?
Lou Xiaoyi had an idea, "Master! I set up a surveying point on the Natural Selection Continent, but who knew that there were three guys from your Heavenly Protection Society following behind me? I was setting up all the way, and they were making trouble all the way. Isn't this a bit too much?
You see, I come from a sword-mai background and have a limited family background. I spent all my money to save hundreds of surveying and mapping instruments, and yet they were destroyed like this by you? You didn’t even have an explanation afterwards?
When I met the master today, I just wanted to know, can I be compensated for my losses?"
Without mentioning the secret in my heart, how can you, Mr. Lou Yasi, miss these three melons and two dates? It’s just to gain some traction, right or wrong! So don’t think it’s worth anything, you really can’t give it to him, this is the principle!
With a careless look, he said, "Definitely, definitely! I'll discuss it with my friends when I go back. Oshi also knows that our Heaven Protectorate Association doesn't have a president, so we have to discuss everything, and it's not good for one person to do it alone.
Well, you two junior brothers can do it yourself, I have to help senior brother Jude maintain the scene, so I won’t disturb you two from watching the ceremony?"
It is also normal for a monk in his realm to make excuses to leave without giving up on differences in ideas. It is not something that can be fooled by familiarity and a good relationship.
After a few moments, the merit monument finally began to change!
Lou Xiaoyi concentrated for a moment and understood that Master Jude's new breakthrough in merit was a new system of merit triggered by the split of the Natural Selection Continent - how can man and nature achieve a balance in merit?
This is not a completely mature system, and there are still many areas that need to be improved, but it must be admitted that it has raised a brand new problem for everyone in adapting to the new era!
When the era has developed from being dominated by nature to the current stage where nature and humans coexist, how should merit be calculated?
Does destroying nature and protecting human beings count as meritorious deeds?
Is it considered a meritorious deed to protect nature and protect living beings?
In this universe, is nature more important? Or living things? Or, is there any measurable standard between the two?
To what extent will destroying nature to protect living beings produce merit?
How many lives must be lost to protect nature to achieve merit?
This is more like a question and answer question, and there may not be only one conclusion! I am afraid that as time goes by, the debate will continue without end!
But this barrel of oil, as a merit monument, does have the effect of burning violently. Such thought-provoking questions are exactly the attitude of exploring the avenue, and it is the new thinking and new concepts that the monks are willing to see. Even if there is no answer yet, It triggered a fierce collision of different ideological trends.
So, from a Buddhist perspective, they have done a great job!
Just like a burning fire cooking oil, the Monument of Merits has brought about a staged breakthrough in the crown of Tao Qi because of such a forward-looking concept, breaking through the million-foot mark in one fell swoop and becoming the most eye-catching in the land of Huanglong. The first monument!
But, it doesn’t stop yet!
Because someone added new ideas to it!
That’s the idea of giving back!
Nature provides resources for spiritual practice; but what have humans done for nature?
In the harmony between man and nature, no one is less important than the other. The key lies in mutual respect. In this world of cultivation, nature has always provided the most basic cultivation resources and environment for living beings. This is also the most fundamental cornerstone for the vigorous development of cultivation in this era. .
As a new era approaches, it has become an unstoppable trend for cultivating beings to step onto the cosmic stage and occupy a place. So, after cultivating beings, mainly humans, gain such an important position, what should they give back to the universe?
This is the focus of measuring how humans and nature can live in harmony in the new era, and how to determine whether there is merit and how much merit there is!
This newly added viewpoint caused a huge shock in the Monument of Merit!
Countless onlookers discovered a new direction in the update of the Monument of Merit, a thought-provoking direction; and then there was a powerful person among the people present who answered the question on the spot, almost perfectly answering this difficult question for everyone!
This is the true charm of spiritual practice! At this moment, people do not distinguish between Taoism and Buddhism, and their hearts do not distinguish between private and public affairs. In a short moment, the 100,000 monks in the monument achieved rare harmony and resonance on this issue!
What a great road!
What is manifested externally is that the Dao Qi Crown of the Merit Monument suddenly gave birth to a hint of color! With the blessing of the color, although the Dao Qi Crown no longer grows or rises, a mysterious force seems to make this power pierce the sky!
Looking up, everyone in the Merit Monument realized that something seemed to have been pierced by the power of Merit Avenue!
Let them vaguely see the thirty-six days that have always existed in legend!
Monk Jude and his group of Buddhists, including Shusheng, were also shocked by this change!
The human and natural content added to the merits this time perfectly achieved their goal - making the merit monument stand out among the others! But precisely because it was so perfect, the result was a little out of his control?
Everyone knows very well that the color of the merit stele's Dao Qi huaguan can only mean one thing: it has been recognized and praised by the heaven, and it has received the support of the monks who are not divided into Tao and Buddha in the world of cultivation in the universe!
Only when Taoism and Buddhism are respected together can color be produced!
The concept of man and nature was proposed by Buddhism. In other words, the more advanced concept of feedback must be proposed by Taoists! Only in this way can Taoism and Buddhism be harmonious and create color!
There was excitement, but also unwillingness! Looking at the cheering monks below and the Taoist priests who were equally excited, Jude knew that he had won and lost!
This time, the Taoist power played very cleverly. They did not use another Taoist tablet to compete with the merits, but chose to add their own ideas to the merits, thus creating color!
In other words, the Great Way of Merit and Virtue is not only Buddhist but also Taoist!
The way of heaven is recognized, the audience is recognized, the color comes from itself, the plan is done and cannot be changed!
In broad daylight, the cornerstone of the avenue was blatantly added, but you can't remove it yet, because this brick is filled in just right, and it is on the supporting point, and the building will collapse if it is removed!
Dao thief!
who is it?
Hands-free and sharp eyes swept across the countless cheering Daoist groups, among which there were two guys who jumped extraordinarily high and danced with joy! It was as if they had been touched by the Dao, and they were forgetfully immersed in the light of merit and virtue, unable to control themselves!
Can't?
With such quick wit and profound understanding, can one speak of the essence of man and nature?
Who is it? What’s the purpose? Just to get involved?
