Chapter 390 Establishing Mahayana Buddhism

The Buddha's light produced by Ning Chen confronted the Buddha's light on the side of the Western Region.

The Buddha's light on the side of the Western Region obviously wanted to smash the Buddha's light created by Ning Chen.

But besides Buddha's light, Baijia City is also protected by Confucianism.

This made the Hinayana Buddha Light on the side of the Western Regions have no chance to come over.

It can only be on the side of the Western Regions, incompetent and furious.

Ning Chen controlled the Buddha's light for a long time.

In the middle of the night, the Buddha's light still exists.

Under the Buddha's light, not only did it not affect the rest of the residents in the city.

On the contrary, it made everyone rest very well.

This night's rest made everyone feel refreshed.

This kind of good is good from the inside out.

It is not the spiritual excitement of Theravada Buddhism.

The reason why he controlled the Buddha's light to continue to illuminate the earth in the middle of the night was mainly because Ning Chen was worried that he would not be able to see his own Buddha's light at Leiyin Temple.

The Buddha light is mainly for Qingyuan to see.

Next, there is a need for candidates to go east to learn Buddhist scriptures, and Ning Chen has also drawn up Qingyuan.

Early the next morning, the Buddha's light subsided.

Ning Chen also handed the "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra" to Liu Zhongzhi, and asked Liu Zhongzhi to help print some.

At that time, it will be better to send it to the Western Regions.

As long as you want to destroy it after writing it, it is impossible.

While accepting the Heart Sutra, Liu Zhongzhi said to Ning Chen: "Head of the Academy, someone came to ask my Hundred Schools College this morning whether the Buddhist holy way has been newly opened."

Ning Chen asked curiously: "Why, does he want to become a monk?"

Liu Zhongzhi nodded and said, "He wants to study the Dharma you wrote, head of the academy."

Hearing Liu Zhongzhi's words, Ning Chen also became a little interested in this person who took the initiative to study Buddhism.

And Ning Chen felt that it would be good to create a little pressure on Qingyuan.

If Qingyuan didn't come to learn the scriptures, there would be people in the Wu Dynasty who were willing to follow the practice system of Mahayana Buddhism, which would also be able to compete with Theravada Buddhism.

"Let him come over and I'll talk to him." Ning Chen said to Liu Zhongzhi.

"Okay, I'll send someone to find him."

Liu Zhongzhi is still very reliable in his work.

Although Liu Zhongzhi didn't know, what's the use of Ning Chen making this Dharma.

But since someone came to ask, Liu Zhongzhi would still record the other party's information in detail.

In case Ning Chen needs it, Liu Zhongzhi can find someone at any time.

After waiting for about two cups of tea, the person was brought over.

The person who brought him was dressed as a scholar, his appearance was not outstanding, but he was still clean.

After the visitor saw Ning Chen, he bowed his hands and said, "Student Liao Jingyuan has seen Mr. Champion."

When Ning Chen heard the scholar declaring his family name, he couldn't help asking, "Your name is Jingyuan?"

Liao Jingyuan nodded calmly and said, "Yes."

"The name you asked the monk to choose, or the family name yourself." Ning Chen continued to ask.

Liao Jingyuan replied truthfully: "Please name the monk."

According to Ning Chen's understanding, such situations are actually quite common in Hezhou.

Hezhou is next to the Western Regions.

Monks often invade Hezhou.

Although Hezhou will try his best to stop it, there will inevitably be some mistakes.

At this time, if there is a person's name in the family, it is given by the monk.

And if you can produce the certificate, you will be fine.

If you started it yourself, it's just luck.

It's just that under normal circumstances, no one would admit it so frankly.

Liao Jingyuan is quite honest.

"You want to follow the path of Mahayana Buddhism?" Ning Chen didn't bother about the name anymore, but asked about the business directly.

Liao Jingyuan replied: "I want to try."

Ning Chen asked back: "You don't even know what Mahayana Buddhism is, so why do you want to try it?"

Liao Jingyuan said: "The students have heard some rumors about Mahayana Buddhism.

Although the understanding is not thorough, the students agree with the philosophy of Mahayana Buddhism.

That is, everyone can become a Buddha. "

Ning Chen nodded, and continued to ask: "If you are allowed to take the path of Mahayana Buddhism, what do you think your advantages are?"

Liao Jingyuan replied: "Students know a lot about Hinayana Buddhism, and students know the disadvantages of Hinayana Buddhism. These are the places where Mahayana Buddhism can be promoted."

After listening to Liao Jingyuan's words, Ning Chen asked: "From your point of view, you don't seem to agree with Buddhism. You should just want to overthrow Hinayana Buddhism."

Liao Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, the students do not agree with Buddhism. The students really want to overthrow Theravada Buddhism.

The students witnessed with their own eyes the evil deeds done by the Western Regions in order to spread the Hinayana Buddhism.

The student's parents also died because of this.

So students more want to overthrow Theravada Buddhism. "

Seeing Liao Jingyuan's resolute attitude, Ning Chen said to Liao Jingyuan in a serious tone: "If you just want to use this kind of technique to promote Mahayana Buddhism instead of agreeing with Mahayana Buddhism, you are afraid that you will go wrong on the road of practice." Not too far."

After a pause, Ning Chen added: "And you have to be clear, if you embark on the path of Mahayana Buddhism, you may not be able to turn back."

Facing Ning Chen's warning, Liao Jingyuan was still very calm: "The student knows, but the student has no regrets."

Facing Liao Jingyuan's resoluteness, Ning Chen did not continue to persuade him.

They are all adults, and the warning that they should warn has arrived. How to choose the rest is Liao Jingyuan's business.

And Ning Chen has another thought, that is, Ning Chen wants to see if this Mahayana Buddhism can resolve the resentment in Liao Jingyuan's heart.

Really guided Liao Jingyuan to embark on the path of Mahayana Buddhism.

At that time, Liao Jingyuan's understanding will be more profound, and there will be more things that can be done.

"Since your attitude is firm, I won't persuade you. But the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures I have written now only have one Heart Sutra with more than two hundred words. Later, you can take a rubbing copy and go back to read it every day." Ning Chen said to Liao Jingyuan.

"Thank you Mr. Champion." Liao Jingyuan saluted Ning Chen again.

Ning Chen glanced at Liao Jingyuan, and finally said: "I agree to you on the one hand because I need the promotion of Mahayana Buddhism to fight against the Western Regions.

On the other hand, I also want to see if the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures I wrote can resolve the resentment in your heart and really lead you to the right path. "

Liao Jingyuan bowed again and said, "Students remember the teachings of Mr. Champion."

"Go to my senior brother Liu Zhongzhi, just say that I said it, and ask him to give you a rubbing copy of the Heart Sutra." Ning Chen said to Liao Jingyuan.

"Yes."

Liao Jingyuan responded, and left Ning Chen's side to find Liao Jingyuan.

After Liao Jingyuan left, Ning Chen also began to think about how to fool the little monk Qingyuan next.

If the Heart Sutra on my side spreads out, Qingyuan will definitely come to ask for the Sutra.

But giving it to him like this is definitely not enough.

It is necessary for Qingyuan to go through some hardships.

……

Ruoben Liu Zhongzhi made hundreds of copies.

One was given to Liao Jingyuan, and the rest was sent directly to Zhao Tuo by Ning Chen.

Let Zhao Tuo find an opportunity to distribute all these rubbings.

Zhao Tuo asked if it was necessary to send the Heart Sutra directly to Leiyin Temple.

But Ning Chen rejected Zhao Tuo's proposal.

Because Ning Chen believes that this Heart Sutra will definitely be known by Qingyuan.

……

The core of the Western Regions, Leiyin Temple.

It was only the third day after the rubbings were distributed, Qingyuan had already obtained the rubbings of the Heart Sutra.

Looking at the content on the rubbings, Qingyuan rarely had an excited expression on his face.

Because this is the real Mahayana sutra.

Qingyuan previously recognized the philosophy of Mahayana Buddhism, but this philosophy just stayed on top of the idea.

I agree with it, but I can't promote it.

It is different now, with this Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, it will be very easy for Qingyuan to promote Mahayana Buddhism.

Qingyuan has found an organization, but Dazhi Bodhisattva's side is clouded.

Originally, they thought they had resolved the crisis this time.

But he didn't expect that Ning Chen would be forced to take the bottom of their salary.

Directly even the Buddhist scriptures of Mahayana Buddhism have been written out.

If this Mahayana sutra is spread in the Western Regions, it will definitely be a huge blow to them.

"Everyone, have you all read the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra?" Dading Bodhisattva asked Dazhi Bodhisattva and other Bodhisattvas.

"I've read it. If the grievances between us and the Wu Dynasty are put aside, this Heart Sutra should be a classic of Buddhism." Dazhi Bodhisattva gave a very pertinent evaluation.

This is not only the evaluation of the Bodhisattva of Great Wisdom, but also the evaluation of other Bodhisattvas in their hearts.

This Heart Sutra is really well written.

It's just that the person who wrote the Heart Sutra is an enemy rather than a friend.

Therefore, this Heart Sutra cannot appear in the Western Regions.

"Everyone, I'm not worried about the spread of this Heart Sutra in the Western Regions. I'm more worried about Qingyuan." Dading Bodhisattva also expressed his worries.

This is also the worry of Bodhisattvas such as Dazhi.

As the strongest second rank in the Western Regions, Qingyuan has now accepted Mahayana Buddhism.

Now Ning Chen has written the Buddhist scriptures of Mahayana Buddhism.

Qingyuan is absolutely considered now, and was directly drawn over by Ning Chen.

A traitor appeared within him, and he was the strongest one at the same time.

This is definitely a fatal blow to the Western Regions.

"I think at this time, we should not delay any longer. It is time to give the Bodhisattva status to Qingyuan." Dazhi Bodhisattva took the lead in putting forward his own suggestion.

Great Wisdom Bodhisattva's suggestion was directly approved by the remaining Bodhisattvas.

Although giving Qingyuan a bodhisattva status means that their next offerings will be deprived.

But if Qingyuan is directly pushed to Ning Chen's side.

Their offerings may not be as simple as a reduction.

It may be gone immediately.

Compared with Meiyuan, they would rather reduce it.

"Since you all have no objections, I'll call Qingyuan over." Dading Bodhisattva, seeing that everyone had reached an agreement, also sent Qingyuan over via sound transmission.

When Qingyuan came to the main hall, he first bowed to the Bodhisattvas, and then quietly waited for the decree of the Great Ding Bodhisattva.

"Qingyuan, you have been in the second rank for a long time. After our observation, we feel that you can inherit the fruit position of the Great Love Bodhisattva now. Are you willing to inherit?" The Great Ding Bodhisattva said to Qingyuan in a loud voice.

Qingyuan clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha's name, and said, "I don't want to."

All the bodhisattvas present did not expect that Qingyuan refused without even thinking about it.

Such a resolute attitude has clearly indicated Qingyuan's choice.

Qingyuan chose Ning Chen's Mahayana Buddhism, and directly abandoned the current Western Regions.

"Qingyuan, Mahayana Buddhism is not bad, but it is not owned by us in the Western Regions. Once it spreads, the Western Regions may be in danger of being overthrown." Dading Bodhisattva did not mean to go around with Qingyuan, and said directly to Qingyuan.

Qingyuan clasped his hands together and said: "So, Qingyuan intends to bring Mahayana Buddhist scriptures back to the Western Regions and spread them further.

Let the Buddhist scriptures appear where they should appear. "

Dading Bodhisattva frowned slightly after hearing Qingyuan's words, and said, "If you are teaching the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, who should be the main Buddha?"

Qingyuan said calmly: "It is Ningchen Buddha Lord."

After hearing Qingyuan's words, Dading Bodhisattva said, "Then can you bring Ning Chen back?"

Qingyuan said: "I will try my best to save Lord Ningchen from the sea of ​​suffering."

Dading Bodhisattva looked at Qingyuan who put his palms together, and said, "What if I don't let you go to Baijia City?"

Qingyuan still kept his palms together and said: "Whether you let it go or not, I have to go to Baijia City."

Qingyuan's attitude is already very obvious.

If you let me go, go normally, if you don't let me go, I will call out, and then go again.

Dading Bodhisattva looked at Qingyuan standing below, and after a long silence, he said, "I let you go to Baijia City, but I hope you can remember what you said and save Ning Chen from the sea of ​​suffering."

"Amitabha, thank you Great Ding Bodhisattva for your completion. I will definitely do my best to bring Ning Buddha back."

After Qingyuan finished speaking, he collapsed quietly in front of Dading Bodhisattva and the others.

It wasn't until Qingyuan collapsed that Dazhi Bodhisattva and others realized that the Qingyuan in front of them was not the real Qingyuan, but just a dharma body.

But this dharma body is no different from the real Qingyuan.

Completely blinded their sight.

They didn't realize at all that the Qingyuan in front of them was not Qingyuan.

All the Bodhisattvas looked at Dading Bodhisattva again. From the expressions of Dading Bodhisattva, it was clear that Dading Bodhisattva had clearly seen at the last moment that Qingyuan was just a dharma body.

That's why I pushed the boat along the way and let Qingyuan go to Baijia City.

"Qingyuan's cultivation is really getting better and better." Dazhi Bodhisattva took the initiative to say.

"I hope this trip to Qingyuan can really bring Ning Chen back." Dading Bodhisattva also interjected.

……

Under the Baijia City, Qingyuan, which was full of wind and dust all the way, has appeared under the walls of Baijia City.

However, Qingyuan did not attack the city wall, but took the initiative to report his identity and formally asked to see Ning Chen.

After getting the report, Ning Chen also came to see Qingyuan on the city wall.

It's not that Ning Chen is afraid, it's that Ning Chen has to guard against it.

In case Qingyuan is emotionally unstable and kills himself directly.

Wouldn't it be a bit too unfair for him to die?

Such things, of course, can be avoided and we try to avoid them as much as possible.

"What are you doing here again?" Ning Chen asked Qing Yuan knowingly.

Qingyuan was also frank, saying: "Learning from the scriptures."

"What scriptures?"

"Mahayana Sutra."

"You can't take it away."

"Why?"

"Because you're not qualified."

The two asked and answered like this, until Ning Chen said that Qingyuan was not qualified, and Qingyuan fell silent.

"Why am I not qualified?" Qingyuan asked after being silent for a while.

Ning Chen asked, "How did you get here?"

Qingyuan said: "It flew over."

Ning Chen continued to ask: "What is the purpose of your study?"

Qingyuan replied: "Pursue sentient beings."

Ning Chen continued to ask: "Can all living beings fly to the sky and escape from the earth like you?"

Ning Chen's question made Qingyuan fall silent.

After being silent for a while, Qingyuan said: "I'm going back to the Western Regions now, and then I'll come here to learn scriptures step by step."

Ning Chen still shook his head: "This is still not enough."

"Why isn't that enough?"

Ning Chen continued to ask: "Do you know what sentient beings are?"

Qingyuan opened his mouth, but suddenly realized that he didn't know where to start.

"You don't even know what sentient beings are, so what's the use of taking the scriptures?
If you don't even know the suffering of sentient beings, how can you save sentient beings?
It is not that if you have Buddhist scriptures, all living beings must accept your universal salvation. "

Ning Chen's words, every sentence, pierced into the depths of Qingyuan's heart.

Qingyuan stood there in a daze, not knowing what else to think in his heart.

After a long time, Qingyuan folded his hands together and bowed to Ning Chen, saying: "Please Buddha teach me."

Ning Chen cleared his throat, and said, "I have nothing to teach you, only sentient beings can teach you what sentient beings are.

All I can give you are some rules.

If you want to understand what sentient beings are, then enter into them as sentient beings.

Unless you are in a life-threatening situation, you should not reveal that you have supernatural powers.

Only then can you understand what sentient beings really are.

Only then can we know that all beings are suffering, and what is suffering.

This sutra will be really useful to you only after you have inspired the Buddha nature of all living beings.

At that time, you can come to the Great Leiyin Temple in the Wu Dynasty to find me.

I will give you the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, so that you can carry forward the Mahayana Buddhism in the Wu Dynasty and the Western Regions. "

After listening to Ning Chen's rules, Qingyuan put his palms together and said without even thinking, "Thank you Buddha for teaching me."

After speaking, Ning Chen found that Qingyuan's aura became weaker and weaker, until he completely became an ordinary person.

At the same time, the appearance of Qingyuan has also changed.

In a short while, Qingyuan has become an ordinary sentient being lost in the midst of sentient beings.

"I have another person here that you can take with you. He will help you promote Mahayana Buddhism." Ning Chen said to Qingyuan.

"Amitabha."

Qingyuan recited the Buddha's name and said, "Thank you Lord Buddha for bestowing it."

Then Ning Chen sent someone to find Liao Jingyuan.

Soon Liao Jingyuan came to the city wall.

"Now you have an opportunity to promote Mahayana Buddhism with the Great Monk Qingyuan.

He is a second-rank realm, and your safety is guaranteed if you follow him.

Of course, whether you want to go or not is entirely up to you to choose. "Ning Chen said to Liao Jingyuan.

Liao Jingyuan just hesitated a little and said: "Students are willing to promote Mahayana Buddhism with Qingyuan. Please, Mr. Champion, let me go."
