Chapter 2793 Bodhisattva's Obsession, Mahayana Buddhism

"Everything in the world has a heart. If you can have compassion in your heart and be sensitive to all things, why do you need to stick to people's words?"

The old monk has a very good demeanor, puts his hands together, is unhurried, and his words are full of Zen, which makes people admire him. He is worthy of being a Buddhist monk, and every word and deed is full of Buddha nature.

Xu Qian was impatient. He had no time to chat with the old monk, so he said directly.

"Don't talk to me about what's there and what's not, just tell me directly, how are we going to fight at this level?"

"The donor is possessed, why do you need to fight?"

The old monk had a smile on his face, full of wisdom, his body was like a bodhisattva, and his heart was like a mirror. He was not angry at all, and he still spoke slowly.

"It's obviously your Buddhism that proposed the fight. Master, are you not afraid of losing the face of Buddhism by being so unreasonable?"

Xu Qi'an couldn't help but frown, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. This old monk would be extremely difficult to deal with and would not be easy to deal with.

"Just now the donor said on the mountainside that monks have all four elements. If all four elements are empty, what is face?"

The old monk had a peaceful face and gentle eyes. He looked at Xu Qi'an quietly and said slowly.

"Okay, let's see how the master plans to test me."

Xu Qian took a deep breath, calmed down the impatience in his heart, and asked patiently.

Xu Qi'an now feels that he is in trouble. What is more terrifying than the gangster is the guy who doesn't speak human words. Xu Qian is a bully, but the old monk is silent.

The gangster will at least try his best to find loopholes in your words to refute you. A guy who doesn't speak human words means that no matter what you say, he doesn't pay attention to you. He only talks about his own words. If you can't understand it, then you are not good at it. Of course, even if you try your best to understand, it will be useless because he will ignore you.

"Life is practice, and it is also a kind of practice for the donor to enter this secret realm of Buddhism."

The old monk was as still as a mountain, calm and peaceful, without any impatience, and spoke very calmly.

"How to practice? The master will give you guidance."

"Practice depends on oneself, why bother asking a poor monk."

Xu Qian couldn't hold back his anger, his face was very gloomy, and he cursed secretly in his heart.

"Damn bald donkey, you don't speak human words, right? I won't accompany you anymore!"

Since you don't speak human words, I won't pay attention to you. If I can't afford to offend you, I can't afford to hide. Xu Qi'an stepped forward, bypassed the old monk, and prepared to continue walking to the top of the mountain.

"boom!"

Xu Qi'an's head felt dizzy, and his eyes were filled with stars. He seemed to have hit a wall and could not move up because there was an invisible barrier blocking his way.

It took a long time for Xu Qi'an to come back to his senses, and turned to look at the old monk sitting cross-legged under the tree. His eyes were slightly narrowed, and a cold light seeped out from the slits in his eyes. He pressed his palm on the handle of the knife, exuding a ray of light from his body. With a terrifying momentum and sharp edge, he said coldly.

"I want to know, master of all four things, whether you can take my sword safely!"

"Amitabha, let's try it."

The old monk recited the Buddha's name, lowered his eyebrows, showed a faint smile on his face, and said loudly.

"The old monk is a ray of obsession that Wenyin Bodhisattva cut off before he attained enlightenment. He has never fought with anyone before, so now is the time to give it a try!"

"Wenyin Bodhisattva, first-grade Bodhisattva?!"

Xu Qi'an let go of his hand expressionlessly, with a sincere expression and a peaceful face, and said with a smile.

"Master, where did we just talk?"

The old monk had a solemn face and a peaceful expression, and he answered very honestly.

"The donor asked the poor monk to take the knife."

"Grandmaster!"

Xu Qian's voice suddenly rose and he scolded him. He walked to the opposite side of the old monk, sat down cross-legged, clasped his hands together, and criticized with some dissatisfaction.

"Does Buddhism only know how to fight and kill? Does Buddhism rely on fighting and killing to save the world? Master, let's have a good chat."

A man who knows the current affairs is a hero. Xu Qi'an is very obedient, reacts quickly and responds with tact, which is astonishing.

Outside, on the royal lounge, Princess Lin'an's eyes widened, she looked at Princess Huaiqing next to her, and asked somewhat unconfidently.

"This dog slave, did he just become cowardly?"

Princess Huaiqing glanced sideways at Princess Lin'an, her expression was cold, her tone was calm, and she spoke slowly.

"He just changed his strategy. The Art of War says: when you attack the enemy with troops, the same applies to the enemy."

Princess Lin'an was big-breasted and brainless, and very simple. A look of realization appeared on her pretty face, thinking that she was being narrow-minded and that the dog slave was not a coward, but a smart change of strategy.

"He's just scared. The brainless Lin'an is so easy to deceive!"

Princess Huaiqing shook her head, looked at her silly sister with pity, and felt very speechless.

Xu Zisheng frowned slightly, and as his thoughts turned, he understood the intention of Buddhism at this level, and suddenly asked.

"Old Monk Du'e, are you Buddhists acting rogue?"

Master Du'e was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Xu Zisheng in confusion. He was deeply impressed by this second-grade scholar, and slashed his Arhat Dharma form twice in a row, causing him serious injuries.

"Master Xu, what do you say?"

"If I'm not wrong, this third level of Buddhism has no content, right?"

A look of surprise appeared on Master Du'e's old face. He didn't expect Xu Zisheng to see the Buddhist plan so quickly, but the third level didn't have any fighting content.

"Master Xu's wisdom is amazing, I admire him!"

"What a shameless old bald ass, you can't afford to lose!"

Xu Zisheng ignored Master Du'e's praise and cursed him instead. He was very rude and called Master Du'e a bald donkey without giving him any face.

Everyone was shocked and didn't understand why Xu Zisheng was so angry. It seemed that the third level of Buddhism had a mystery that they didn't understand.

"What does no content mean?"

Princess Lin'an was simple-minded. Although she was always dissatisfied with Princess Huaiqing and repeatedly provoked her, she still admired the wisdom of the princess and turned around and asked puzzledly.

"No content, does that mean that no matter how Xu Qian'an responds, Buddhism can choose not to respond or agree, and trap him in the secret realm until he admits defeat.

Princess Huaiqing's face changed slightly, her expression was cold, her cherry lips slightly opened, and her clear voice was like the collision of jade, pleasant and textured.

Everyone heard the words, all of them changed color, and glared at the Buddhist delegation. Is this playing rogue? No matter how difficult the level is, as long as there is a question, it can always be overcome. The most difficult and unsolvable is this kind of fighting without content. There is a lot of room for operation. Whether it is a fight of arms or a fight of words, Buddhism can veto it with one vote, and Buddhism will always be invincible.

"Isn't this playing rogue? Since you want to fight, then set up the formation. You Buddhists can say whether it is a fight of arms or a fight of words. What is this?"

"A fight won by cheating is probably not a fair victory! ”

The civil and military ministers were angry and cursed at the Buddhist monks. Some of the grumpy generals even overturned the desk in front of them, as if they couldn't hold it in any longer and were about to take action.

Da Fengwen is not afraid of fighting. There are many masters in Kyoto City. Both sides see each other and use their own skills. However, this third level is simply unsolvable. Xu Qi'an can't do it, even if someone else takes it, he can't do it!

The people and people who were watching outside were also angry. They accused Buddhism one after another and cursed. It was extremely unpleasant and unpalatable. It involved the love and hatred of Master Du'e's eighteen generations of ancestors. The content was comparable to an ethical and taboo novel.

When the people of Kyoto City saw that the Buddhists were so rogue and set up a trap to trap Xu Qian, they became furious and began to push the imperial guards, as if they wanted to rush in and beat the bald men.

"Amitabha, no question is also a question. Life is ever-changing. Is there a question waiting for you all the time? "

The peaceful voice of Du'e Arhat spread throughout the venue, and it seemed to have the power to soothe people's hearts, making the people outside unconsciously quiet down and think that what he said made sense. This is the ability of the seventh grade of Buddhism, the master realm.

The people of Kyoto and the surrounding civil and military officials seemed to be calmed by this power. They nodded slightly and felt that what Master Du'e said made sense.

Xu Zisheng frowned, and a little anger flashed in his eyes. The damn old monk dared to use Buddhist sounds to confuse people's hearts. He was going to teach this second-grade Arhat of Buddhism a lesson again.

"Shameless!"

Suddenly, a roar sounded, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was a handsome scholar with an unfamiliar face. He walked down the awning leisurely, came to the square, sneered at the monks, and cursed loudly.

"No wonder you monks are all bald, it turns out that you hide the hair on your head in your heart. You look bright and beautiful on the outside, but you hide filth in your heart. It's shameful! "

Monk Jingchen frowned upon hearing this and was about to retort.

"This donor."

"Who is your donor? Xu will not give you a penny. You call everyone a donor. Shame on you!"

"You!"

"What do you mean by you! You are a great Buddhist monk. Are you also the obsession that Buddha cut off before he became a monk?"

"The obsession that Buddha cut off before he became a monk?!"

Monk Jingchen was stunned, then furious. He realized that Xu Xinnian was scolding him and not speaking human language!

"As a scholar, you can only scold people all the time. Is this a scholar in Dafeng?"

"I never scold people. Those I scold are not human beings."

All the Buddhists were angry and stared at Xu Xinnian.

Xu Xinnian was not afraid at all. He stared back fiercely and continued to scold.

"What's the matter? Are you not convinced? You Buddhists came from afar and proposed a fight. Dafeng is a country of etiquette. We only sent a silver gong to come forward, which has given you enough face. Who knew that your face was thicker than the walls of Kyoto? No wonder the Shanhaiguan Battle was won 20 years ago. It was really relying on you. The northern and southern barbarian coalition forces could not break the masters' face for ten years. But you masters are not aware of it. If you are not aware of it, it is useless to look in the mirror. "

"How can this be!"

Monk Jingchen stood up suddenly, his monk robe fluttering, his eyes wide open, like an angry King Kong, with a terrifying momentum.

Xu Xinnian was not afraid, sneered, and spat at Monk Jingchen.

"Bah! What a master who is empty of the four elements, empty of your mother's thing!"

Monk Jingchen's expression suddenly froze, his face turned pale, and he didn't know how to refute.

Master Du'e chanted the Buddha's name, looked at Monk Jingchen, and said.

"Jingchen, you are confused. "

Monk Jingchen's face turned pale, he fell to the ground weakly, clasped his hands together, and said in a trembling voice.

"The disciple is obsessed."

Seeing this, Xu Xinnian turned back with a smug look, his head held high, like a proud rooster. He was worthy of being a student who had never lost a quarrel in Yunlu Academy, and his eloquence was unparalleled.

Xu Zisheng looked at Xu Xinnian with admiration in his eyes. As expected, he had a good eloquence and was a qualified troll. His fighting power was amazing. He could scold the Buddhist bald monks speechless. It was not in vain that he threatened the Minister of Rites and arranged him in his Ministry of War. He should be trained in the future!

"It's so cool!"

Xu Xinnian sat on the chair, feeling a great satisfaction in his heart. As expected, there was nothing more enjoyable than scolding people.

The episode ended, but the fight continued, and everyone outside the venue was still feeling heavy-hearted.

Under the Bodhi tree, Xu Qi'an sat and talked with the old monk. He nodded and agreed.

"Master, what you said is very true, it makes me suddenly enlightened!"

Xu Qi'an was thinking about how to break the deadlock. Buddhism was too insidious. There was no question in this level, which meant that the right of interpretation belonged to Buddhism. It was simply an overlord clause that did not give people a chance to win.

After careful consideration, Xu Qi'an came up with two ideas to break the deadlock: one was to convince people with reason, and the other was to convince people with reason.

The first principle was physics. Unfortunately, Xu Qi'an was not strong enough to defeat the obsession of this first-grade Bodhisattva, so he could only follow his heart.

The second principle was reason. He needed to figure out why Wenyin Bodhisattva cut out this obsession, and defeat the other party from the Buddhist principle, so that he could pass the third level.

"Master, you said that you were the obsession that was cut off by Bodhisattva Wenyin. What kind of obsession is it?"

"The highest realm of Buddha!"

The old monk looked solemn, with his hands clasped together, looking solemn and sacred.

The highest realm of Buddha, such a profound question at the beginning, made Xu Qi'an scratch his head, but in order to break the deadlock, he had to continue asking.

"What is the highest realm of Buddha?"

"I don't know, but Wenyin thought it was Buddha. So he cut me off, and from then on, I had a glass Buddha heart, no longer filthy, and became a Bodhisattva."

For the first time, the old monk's expression changed a little, which was extremely complicated. He was silent for a moment, and then he answered.

Xu Qi'an frowned, and he suddenly remembered a detail. In the Buddhist system, there are second-grade Arhats, first-grade Bodhisattvas, and above them are Buddhas who transcend the grade. There is no other Buddha. He suddenly had an idea and asked aloud.

"Why is the highest state of Buddha the Buddha, why are there no other Buddhas?"

"Buddhism has the Arhat fruit position and the Bodhisattva fruit position, and only the Buddha can achieve the supreme fruit position. Therefore, the Buddha is the highest state of Buddhism, a unique existence, and the Buddha is the Buddha, unique, and I am the only one!"

"Arhats and Bodhisattvas may not be unable to achieve the highest fruit position."

Xu Qi'an remembered the Buddhist teachings of his previous life, which were different from the Buddhist teachings of this world. He had a vague inspiration in his heart and said hurriedly.

"Donor, you may not understand the way of Buddhist practice. Do you know why Bodhisattvas are Bodhisattvas and Arhats are Arhats?"

The old monk shook his head, disagreeing with Xu Qi'an's point of view, and asked slowly.

Xu Qi'an did not know much about Buddhism in this world, and he said hurriedly after hearing it.

"Master, please help me solve my doubts!"

"The fourth grade of Buddhism is the ascetic monk. Those who are in this state should make great aspirations. Great aspirations are closely related to the fruition. Those who make great aspirations will obtain the fruition of Bodhisattva. Those who make small aspirations will obtain the fruition of Arhat, and the fruition of Arhat is also divided into three levels, namely killing thieves, not returning, and Arhat. Once the fruition is condensed, it cannot be changed or advanced."

There is only one Buddha in the world. Isn't this the Hinayana Buddhism in the previous life? Xu Qi'an's mind flashed, and he instantly thought of a way to break the situation. His expression changed instantly, and he was full of momentum and arrogant. Get out of the way. I want to show my holiness in front of people. Watch how I fool these Buddhist monks.

Xu Qi'an slowly stood up and stared at the old monk. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and then expanded. From smiling to laughing, from laughing to laughing wildly, he laughed forward and backward, laughing wildly and wantonly!

"Hahaha!"

"What are you laughing at, benefactor?"

Under the Bodhi tree, the old monk looked puzzled and puzzled at Xu Qi'an, not understanding why he suddenly went crazy.

Xu Qi'an covered his stomach and stopped smiling with difficulty. He looked arrogant and arrogant, looking at the old monk with his nose and said arrogantly.

"I laugh at the narrow-mindedness of Buddhism and the hypocrisy of Buddha!"

Arrogant! The old monk was angry, and the Bodhi tree moved without wind. Outside the field, the Du'e Arhat, who had no emotions from beginning to end, also had a gloomy face. The Buddhist monks were even more furious, with anger flashing in their eyes.

"Master, don't you know what the highest realm of Buddhism is? Then let me tell you!"

Xu Qi'an's words calmed the old monk's anger. The old monk's eyes shot out golden light, and his eyes stared at Xu Qi'an.

"I thought Buddhism was profound, and that all the Arhats and Bodhisattvas were compassionate people. Now I know that they are just selfish people. The Buddhists actually practice Hinayana Buddhism."

"Hinayana Buddhism?!"

This is a strange word that the Buddhist monks have never heard of. They were stunned for a while, and they became curious. Since there is Hinayana Buddhism, is there also Mahayana Buddhism?

"Master, where are you from?"

"Western Regions!"

"Why do Buddhist monks practice?"

"To attain the fruit position and transcend the sea of ​​suffering."

"This is Hinayana Buddhism. Practice is only for oneself, and so is attaining the fruit position. It is to save oneself but not others."

The old monk was stunned. He pondered for a long time, and a look of enlightenment appeared on his face. He asked aloud.

"The donor said that this is Hinayana Buddhism, so what is Mahayana Buddhism?"

"You are not a monk from the Western Regions, but a monk from Kyushu, a monk from the world. Monks practice, not to escape from the sea of ​​suffering for themselves, but to save all living beings from the sea of ​​suffering.

"Four hundred years ago, why did Confucianism want to destroy Buddhism? What is destroyed is not the Buddha, but the Buddhist sect, the Hinayana Buddhism. "

"Hinayana Buddhism is ultimately limited to one sect. Only Mahayana Buddhism can save all living beings. So what is Mahayana Buddhism?"

The old monk's breathing became rapid. He was no longer in a state of no desire. His voice showed obvious fluctuations.

"What is Mahayana Buddhism?"

Outside the venue, the Buddhist monks stared at Xu Qi'an, breathing rapidly.

"Why is there only one Buddha? All living beings in the world are Buddhas. There are countless Buddhas in the three worlds and ten directions. This is Mahayana Buddhism. Why is there only one Buddha in the world?!"

"All living beings are Buddhas!"

"Seeing one's nature is Buddha"

If the old monk has enlightenment, he will have a smile of great enlightenment on his face, and the Buddhist charm will flow through his body, which is natural.

"Thanks to the benefactor for clarifying my doubts. The poor monk has achieved a great enlightenment."

"This old monk actually had an epiphany. I was just talking nonsense, but I didn't expect that it would lead to enlightenment. I am truly worthy of it. If God had not given birth to me, Xu Ningyan, Kyushu would have been like a long night!"

Xu Qi'an praised herself shamelessly, knowing in her heart that she was stable this time and that she should be able to pass the third level.

"When Wenyin was still a fourth-grade ascetic, he once had doubts about why he could not become a Buddha. This obsession was hidden in his heart. After countless years, it was not until he was about to die that he realized that there is only one Buddha in the world. Over there It was the Buddha, so he killed me and attained the status of Bodhisattva. I sat in this secret realm for many years, still unable to figure out how to become a Buddha, let alone why I couldn't become a Buddha."
