Chapter 73 What is Buddha?
Everything is as expected.
Taoist Master Xiaobai actually showed a confused expression on his face, and he asked softly: "Master Wudu, are you sure that your answer is this?"
"Are you sure you won't explain the explanation anymore, or make up for it a little bit?"
When he asked, his tone was not good, his expression was sinister, and his eyes suddenly appeared, as if there were sword lights and sword shadows flashing in it!
Many people in the audience were moved.
On this issue that has long been finalized, people really can't believe that this little Taoist priest can also make a monster.
Wu Du put his hands together, looked alert, and replied firmly: "I'm sure! I have nothing to add, there is no need to explain."
"But I can repeat: What is Buddha? Buddha's Day: All sentient beings are Buddhas!"
Zhao Xiaobai immediately laughed and covered his mouth and said, "But, respected monk, what is the Buddha I am asking?"
"You tell me for no clue what the Buddha is doing?"
"Have I asked you this question, huh?"
"Answer the question is not the answer, and it's a lot of miles away! Did you do it on purpose?"
Without waiting for the confused monk to answer, he didn't wait for the people in the hall to wake up, he suddenly snorted coldly and said:
"Hmph, even if you are ambitious and are determined to be the dominant Buddhist sect, and even unify the Qingming world, and take the Confucian Temple lineage, the Demon Sect, and my Taoist sect, you don't have to be so clear and clear, you're so anxious!"
"What kind of sentient beings are Buddhas?"
"I can't control others. I, Mr. Bai, was a disciple of Taoism in his life. How could I change my sect, deceive my master and destroy my ancestors, and bow to the Buddha?"
"Even if I, Mr. Bai, are cats or dogs, no, even cats are not even dogs, and they are not among the so-called sentient beings you call them."
"But, let alone the entire Qingming world, I only say that so many Wen Shengmen here are, are they considered one of the sentient beings?"
"Confucianism has been passed down for thousands of years. Countless scholars read poetry and books and admire Confucian sages. Generation after generation of Confucian children continue to teach and teach people tirelessly, and how can they compare to the achievements of educating the country?"
"Do you think they are not considered sentient beings?"
Speaking of this, he pointed his hand from a distance, glanced at the hall, and said word by word: "Hehe, all sentient beings are Buddhas, you are such a big tone!
"I will not talk about the people and all living beings today. I will only ask you, have you ever asked if the officials here are willing?"
When talking about this "will", his hand just pointed to the heads of several scholars in the crowd in the west, and these scholars suddenly changed color!
Scholars from Wen Sheng’s lineage are full of articles and proud. They usually boast of Confucian successors and value their own identities. How can they bear such bird energy?
These scholars couldn't help but look at the monk with a ferocious face, and fire almost spurted out from their eyes.
He gritted his teeth and cursed: "Okay, you bald donkey! He actually bullied my Wen Sheng lineage? Are you sure you want to say that?"
"You're simply bullshit!"
Even the referees were all in silence. Assistant referee Xia Jianren didn't even care about his dignity. He stood up suddenly and cursed with the clan fingers:
"We have been taught by Confucian saints since ancient times, and have always been the lineage of literary saints! Although we respect your achievements in saving people in Buddhism, if you want to... Humph and forcefully say that I am a Buddha, then I won't recognize it!"
"I don't think I can afford it!"
"Hehe, all sentient beings are Buddhas? I only realized today that it is so ridiculous! Your Buddhist...even a saint, how can you despise the world and put such a big hat on everyone? Why don't you ask all sentient beings in the world whether they agree or not?"
"I don't believe that you, a Buddhist saint, would say such words!"
"What kind of sentient beings are Buddhas? They are simply nonsense and speak nonsense. Not to mention that the people I am going to study are Confucianism and not Buddhas. Even if you are here today, you will say less than half of them are not even Buddhist believers!"
"Are these people not sentient beings in your eyes?"
"You don't know the importance of it, and you speak wildly. Humph, this game is lost, Lingbao Temple, and you have no discussion!"
After the referee was angry and sat down, Zhao Xiaobai coughed gently and said slowly: "Buddha's Day, all sentient beings are Buddhas. It's true."
"It's just that Master Wudu has a lack of Zen mind. He has not been able to understand the original intention of the saint well, nor has he been able to understand the true meaning of the Buddha's words. What a pity!"
"A saint betrays the world, and naturally hopes that everyone in the world will become Buddhas, but if he understands the Zen method, wouldn't he know the changes in human hearts?"
"The world is so great that there are no stubborn people. All kinds of the universe have humans that cannot be overcome and evil spirits that cannot be influenced."
"The Buddha did not directly answer the question of what Buddha was, but instead deliberately talked about him, but actually had other meanings and painstaking efforts."
"The implication of his words is that he does not say that all living beings are Buddhas! Instead, all living beings have a good side and there is a possibility of becoming a Buddha."
"Since it is possible, of course it is impossible."
"The original intention of the saint is to use this to persuade his disciples that God has the virtue of being alive. Buddhist disciples should have firm beliefs and unyielding Zen hearts to overcome those who cannot be saved and influence those who cannot be affected. They should do it even though they know that they cannot do it, and with the determination that I will not go to hell, who will go to hell, I will seek the greatest good result."
"This is what the Buddha said that all sentient beings are Buddhas!"
"How can we descendants misunderstand the original intention of the saints and impose the Buddha's painstaking efforts on the followers' believers on all living beings with their unvirtuous body?"
Although Zhao Xiaobai's words were said, even though he directly criticized Wu and distorted the saint's heart, he did not belittle the Buddhist saint at all. On the contrary, he was full of respect for the saint in his words, and he was immediately amazed.
He not only cleverly answered the remarks that referee Xia Jianren said, but also retained some of the face of Buddhist disciples.
The monks fighting on the side of Lingbao Temple were immediately convinced and looked peaceful; Wu Du knew that he could no longer argue, so he lowered his head and said nothing, and was ashamed.
Assistant referee Zhu Yiqun's eyes were confused and murmured: "In this way, the saying that all sentient beings are Buddhas has been wronged for thousands of years, which is a pity!"
"From now on, if someone uses this saint's words to answer the question of what Buddha is, then it will be both ulterior motives and extremely stupid!"
"But what exactly is Buddha? I wonder if Master Xiaobai is willing to solve his doubts for us?"
Zhao Xiaobai nodded slightly, sipped the tea briefly, and replied, "What exactly is Buddha? According to my simple understanding of Taoism, this is almost the same problem as what Taoism is!"
"The Tao focuses on 'knowing', exploring all things in nature, and the ultimate principles of heaven and earth; the Buddha focuses on 'heart', emphasizing self-cultivation, precepts and tolerance, and virtue transforms the world."
"Therefore, Buddha is in the heart of the human being. Those who believe in it will cultivate one's body, precepts and forbearance, and accumulate virtues for good and virtue. In the heart, Buddha can be expected to become a Buddha. This is what is called "having a Buddha's heart and Buddha's fate."
"Those who do not believe in the Buddha are dispensable, sometimes without any other, and have no connection with the Buddha."
"Of course, those who do evil will be... all sentient beings are mixed, and living beings are fish and flesh. There is no Buddha in the world."
"Since the Buddha is in his heart, people's hearts have changed and twists and turns since ancient times. What is Buddha? Even the Buddha himself may not be able to answer this question in full."
Wudu finally woke up a little at this time. When he heard the little Taoist priest say that the Buddha also had some unknown points, he was really disrespectful. He couldn't help but whisper with his neck thick, "Bold! How can he say that?"
"The Buddha of the gods is above him, and he knows everything and everything! How can there be a question that cannot be answered in full?"
Zhao Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh and said to himself: How different was the Buddha's training business personnel in that world in order to sell his teachings?
When he said this, he simply wanted to tell his "business personnel" that all living beings in the world are our potential customers!
As a qualified business person, you must firmly believe in, overcome all difficulties, and do your best to strive for it, and turn everything impossible into possibility.
But in fact, anyone knows that this is a big fool.
Not all monks need to buy combs.
But now, facing the halo of a saint and the countless people who have been "brainwashed" by this saint in this era, how could I say so straightforwardly?
As soon as he thought of this, he slowly glanced into the hall and said slowly: "Does the saint know everything? Be careful not to be impatient, and be reasonable and not speak loudly."
