Chapter 169: Buddhism and Taoism Debate
Once, Fairy Chang'e came to the hall to complain in tears. It is said that the Jade Rabbit was almost peeled off and roasted by the five wild boys.
The Lord of God ordered the five people to surrender, and soon the five people entered the hall with a roasted rabbit.
The fairy almost didn't get angry.
Marshal Tianpeng mixed the fairy with caressing her back and comforting her, so she did not make the fairy faint.
God asked: Are you going to rebel in Jiuchi Jianlin?
Su Fang replied: Why do we rebel when we eat roasted rabbits? If we want to rebel, it is also the jade rabbit that rebels!
The God asked: How could it rebel? It was absolutely impossible.
Su Fang replied: Isn’t it considered rebellion to talk about love with mortals? I remember Tiantiao said that gods and immortals are not allowed to come down to earth to fall in love with mortals.
The God Lord said in surprise: Are you saying that Jade Rabbit eloped down to earth?
Su Fang replied: Yes, is it not good for lovers to get married eventually?
Chang'e said: Jade Rabbit is not dead, but elopes down to earth?
Su Fang replied: Yes, sister, you are a fairy who is grandma... It's unique in the fairy palace. You don't know that the nest of little jade rabbits is so cute... Hey, sister, don't dizzy.
The God Lord said in a panic: Don’t panic, I’ll pass on the doctor!!! Also, these little guys will catch me!
The hall was full of chaos and sprinting for a while.
Finally, the Jiujianxian came forward and drew the five boys hard, ordering them to go to the mortal world to find another thousand spiritual rabbits, and compensate Fairy Chang'e.
The most resentful thing was You Chuiyun. He was pulled by Su Fang and a few others to eat roast rabbit meat, and then he was caught and tied to Lingxiao Palace...
——
"Where is this going?"
You Chuiyun was reluctantly pulled forward by several lives, and then Liu Qinmei gave him the answer.
"A few old monks came to the West to preach and debate with the God Lord - these old monks have cultivated into golden bodies, which is amazing. They call themselves Arhats and even our God Lord doesn't take the position of Bodhisattva seriously. They are arrogant and ask our God Lord to issue orders to practice Buddhism."
"Ah? I understand. This incident is a battle between Buddhism and Taoism in the Immortal Palace!"
You Chuyun suddenly felt excited, and ran forward faster than them.
"Hey hey, can you find the land? You ran away! Here!"
Bai Buying shouted.
You Chuiyun ran back again: "I saw them... they were all going here, why... why did they run in the wrong direction."
"Oh? It seems that yes, everyone is going here-it turns out that I made a mistake, just go here."
"Bai Langzi! You dare to coax me!"
Bai Buying ran away and ran away. It was his specialty. You Chuyun asked him for advice several times, but this kid didn't reveal any way.
"Come and chase me. When I chase me, I will teach you the 'Three Steps to Chase the Cloud' �
After three steps to catch the cloud, You Chuiyun felt that the name was simply tailor-made for him. This further strengthened the concept he wanted to learn.
"You guys are slow!" Liu Qinmei, who was big-skinned, scolded, and several people squeezed into the crowd.
When I arrived at Lingxiao Palace, I found that there were gods sitting cross-legged everywhere here, and even made an exception to allow them to take off. The sky was filled with gods, as if all the gods in the entire Immortal Palace could come.
You Chuiyun and his men came too late, and they couldn't see the situation inside the hall at all.
However, there were witty words from the hall, such as the green phoenix dancing and the colorful phoenix singing; the spiritual turtle holding a longevity, the crane holding a zhi, the practice of quietness and return to the true nature, and the meditation fruit is right.
Obviously, the Buddhist and Taoist debate has begun, and the old monks launched the first offensive.
The wonderful sound came, and the immortals nodded frequently, only the Buddha's path was indeed profound...
"Unfortunately, these people insist on what others say, what they believe in? What are the happy mottos of old monks not drinking or eating meat?"
Wang Quansheng was a little angry.
"My Buddha, with profound Prajna, observes the three realms throughout the three realms. The fundamental nature is ultimately nirvana. He is the same as the void and has nothing. It is called the beginning of life and death, and the Dharma image is like this..."
The old monk's voice was like thunder, shocking all immortals.
"No, no, we have to get closer... we can't see anything here! Wine jar, aren't you a big celebrity of Princess Zhaoyang? You can't take your brothers and take a shortcut, so that we can see if this living Buddha has more eyes or mouth, and whether this golden body has become gold.
I don’t know. We all can turn stones into gold. I don’t know what old monks can be proud of when they cultivate into gold bodies.”
Wang Quansheng and Bai Buying ignored Su Fang's resentful eyes and walked towards the gate of the side hall with You Chuyun.
"How can I have a way? Let go of my foolishness, Bai Langzi, are you crazy? So many immortals are watching, don't be tempted."
"Oh, isn't it just getting closer, it's okay."
Sure enough, when I arrived at the gate of the side hall, a group of heavenly soldiers were guarding it. However, they were guarding it, but they were climbing the wall and leading the neck. They were listening to the old monk's preaching with all concentration. They didn't know how many children slipped into the side hall.
But there was still a mature and steadfast soldier. He had a strange trick. It turned out that he had one of his eyes and placed it on the back of his head.
When the veteran saw the few people sneaking in, he was anxious to shout for his companions to come and fight the enemy.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qinmei, who was silent, sprinkled a handful of pink ashes when she came up, which made the veteran suck it into his nose. In an instant, she couldn't scream, and even her face became dull.
Su Fang took off the back of his head and put his eyes on his face.
"You have to continue watching the monk...you can see the monk, there is no problem behind it..."
Liu Qinmei was hypnotizing and said this to the veteran. The veteran nodded in confusion and turned around and continued to watch the old monk preach.
The five people took the opportunity to sneak into the side hall.
The veteran suddenly sneezes, and the sneeze fell to the ground and turned red and pink.
"What's the situation..." The veteran didn't feel physically hindered. He looked back and saw that there was nothing, but he always felt uneasy.
"Is it because the masters are told? I will be a monk too?"
The veteran was too lazy to care and continued to hold his breath and listen to Zen.
——
In the hall, no matter how many old monks bloomed with lotus flowers, the divine Lord remained motionless and looked amiable.
However, the supreme swears in his stomach: "The bald donkey gives you three points of color and you will be brilliant, right? You are still here to deceive my immortals."
At this time, the old monks stopped, obviously returning the right to speak to the God Lord.
The God Lord laughed and said, "I heard that the little fellow Tathagata in the West has great supernatural powers and has created a world of heaven and earth, so-called bliss in the West... and passed on the true Dharma of Yoga, allowing people to practice, redeem themselves in sins, karma and fruit, and reborn in Nirvana. Ascetic practice becomes a Buddha, and achieve the right result!
Then let me ask, is this a call to avoid the world and time? Living a world in one place and living in a corner is to shut the door and lock the door? The Buddha sat on a lotus and refused to stop thousands of people from outside the West Heaven Gate. Is it a shame to surrender? Fighting will result in karma, and not fighting will also be a karma. The Buddha is noble and will not attract sentient beings.
The reason why Jianghai can be kings of all valleys is that they are good at lowering themselves, so they can be kings of all valleys. Therefore, if they want to be superior to the people, they must speak for themselves. If they want to be superior to the people, they must be behind them. Therefore, the sages are in the superior but the people are not respected, and when they are in the front, the people are not harmed. Therefore, the world is happy to be promoted but never tired of it, and because they do not fight, no one in the world can compete with them.
Tathagata wants to forge the Pure Land, but first of all, he cannot become a Buddha himself..."
The God Lord made a conclusion that frightened the old monks, and he actually said that Tathagata was not a Buddha!
The words that God refuted were the sixty-six chapters of the Tao Te Ching written by Laojun.
The roughly means three levels of philosophy of life. The first layer uses rivers and seas as metaphors, which talks about the sea embracing all rivers. The second layer says that people should not be attached to their own interests and gains and losses, and abandon human nature in order to become a Buddha. The third layer talks about the word "not fighting for" the great way, and the great way should be natural... and should not fight for anything against the heavenly way of fruit.
This remark even angered the group of monks who cultivated their own character. They began to refute the God Lord in a verbal way, but none of them mentioned the idea.
There is only one old monk who speaks "The Book of Practice for Practicing the Practice" - the general meaning is that one cannot be done overnight. One must reflect on oneself and overcome oneself to achieve the right result. Everyone in the world must practice in this way and save oneself.
Then the God Lord fought against the monks alone.
The two sides argued that the sky was dark and the sun and the moon were gone. It was a ritual exchange and a verbal battle.
These old monks have some skills, no wonder they dared to copy a few scriptures and argue with the God Lord. Their purpose is naturally to spread the scriptures and promote Buddhism in heaven.
Although the God Lord was sharp-tongued, he could not resist the number of people on the other side and gradually got at a disadvantage.
"That Tathagata will make up these obscure words, and Monk Made is so annoyed to recite the scriptures."
The God Lord didn't think they were talking about big principles, but just felt that there were mosquitoes flying around in his ears, lingering in the Lingxiao Palace.
The reason why he was in a disadvantage was not that he could not win, but that he just felt that these old monks were too irresistible, and he really couldn't find a starting point to object.
"I heard that the immortals outside the hall have a good idea. I am dry and want to rest for a while. Who dares to come up to help me defend the Dharma with the masters and Buddhas?"
The God Lord was already impatient, so he simply stood up and shouted out loud.
The emperor and the empress's expression changed slightly. She knew that her husband's ability was more than that, but her husband was free and easy by nature, so how could he argue with these old monks forever?
However, the God Lord's speech was different in everyone's minds - Isn't this considered the God Lord surrendering, and directly looking for foreign aid to help him.
The problem is - even the Lord of God himself can't argue, so who has the ability to do this?
The emperor and empress walked away and whispered in the ear of the God Lord.
The God Lord patted his belly and continued, "If there is a winner in the debate, the Lord can teach his supreme mental method - the ancient god emperor's sutra. Of course, it is not a whole volume, but a half volume."
What! The God Lord is actually willing to teach the ancient God Emperor's Sutra?
