Wandao long distance

Chapter 747 Dharma
Li Qi was in the sky, watching everything happening below.

The young novice monk originally believed in Buddhism and was firm in Buddhism. He had been practicing hard with the aim of the four demons and wanted to spread the concept of Buddhism and compassion to the world, but at this moment he was shaken.

The little novice monk trembled and asked the four demons: "Master, is it possible that... Buddhism is wrong?"

"Nonsense!" the four demons said in unison.

Then Yun Jing immediately answered: "How can Buddhism be wrong? Can't you see the Buddhist kingdom we created? Are the seven treasures, peace, beauty, and compassion in the Buddhist kingdom fake? Compared with those A country created by bandits, isn’t the Buddhist country not real enough?”

Although the novice monk was scared, he did not lower his head, but immediately said: "Masters, we rely on the Dharma to govern this Buddhist kingdom, so why can't you rely on the Dharma to establish the Buddhist kingdom?"

These words left the four demons speechless and unable to respond.

Yes, a Buddhist country can be governed by Buddhist Dharma, but why not use Buddhist Dharma to establish a Buddhist country?
The answer is... they tried it.

Pure Buddhism cannot build a country.

Buddhism cannot establish a country. They need to rely on other means, such as violence, conspiracy, and trickery. Those enemies must be defeated before they can establish the current Buddhist country.

After driving away the enemies, they then used Buddhism to educate the world, and thus the present Buddhist Kingdom was established.

But no matter what, it cannot hide the fact that they used methods that were despised by Buddhism to spread Buddhism.

Violence and trickery are methods that Buddhism despises, but they must rely on this method to establish the soil for Buddhism to survive.

The beautiful flowers of Buddhism bloom on the vicious and terrifying corpses.

The little novice monk's question directly hit the hearts of the four demons, causing their Taoist hearts to waver and their paths to stagnate.

This is the first time since they started practicing Buddhism that they have to face their own path problems.

This is the answer they have to give -

why?
Why can Buddhism only maintain a Buddhist kingdom but cannot establish it?

If you cannot answer this question, Buddhism will not be established, and the answer must be able to convince them and allow them to accept it.

This is what Li Qi experiences every day.

Li Qi's mind was always thinking about more profound contradictory issues than these, and it seemed that there were endless solutions.

But for these Eighth Grades, this is the first time they have tortured their minds and their own paths.

In the end, the little novice monk couldn't get the answer he wanted because the four demons couldn't answer it at all.

So, he left disappointed and decided to find the answer by himself, even if he was just an unworthy child.

The four demons watched each other leave in silence, and then looked at each other in confusion.

The little novice monk did not go to the public to expose the scandal of what they did when the country was founded, but he had already brought shame to the four demons.

In the end, Shitou and Qingfeng chose to leave. They wanted to find the answer like the little novice monk, but just maintaining the superficial peace of the Buddhist kingdom could no longer satisfy them.

Lotus and Cloud Whale stayed in the Buddhist Kingdom.

From then on, the four demons became two demons.

After several decades, Lian Hua died and was trapped in a dilemma before her death. She was unable to break through to the seventh level throughout her life. The reason was because... this problem had troubled her all her life.

With her talent, coupled with Li Qi's opportunity to teach, it was a natural thing to break through to the seventh level, but because of a problem with the little novice monk, her path ended.

This is how it is on the path of spiritual practice.

Cloud whales live longer.

But if he is the only one left in the entire Buddhist Kingdom... it will be difficult to support the Buddhist Kingdom.

When Lianhua was around, the two of them joined forces, and with the reputation of Shitou and Qingfeng who went out to explore, they were able to hold on, but after Lianhua died...

In the thousands-mile territory of the Buddhist Kingdom, those floating islands grouped together began to have undercurrents.

Conspiracies and intrigues appeared again in the Buddhist Kingdom.

Yun Jing watched all this, and he couldn't sit idly by.

He must protect the Buddhist kingdom.

And if you want to protect the Buddhist country... pure Dharma is useless. For those who hide their conspiracy, Dharma has zero binding force on them.

Therefore, violence and conspiracy must be used again.

In order to protect the faithful people of the Buddhist Kingdom, we must use means to destroy those villains with evil intentions.

Yun Whale thought so.

His great bright mirror was getting darker and darker.

People and sentient beings are becoming more and more distinct in his mind, and he is increasingly able to 'distinguish friend from enemy'. In his mind, sentient beings have become different groups of people according to different standards, and can then be treated in different ways.

This standard actually exists in many places.

In some places it is wealth, in some places it is force, and in some places it is wisdom, but in short, they all divide sentient beings into different categories and then differentiate them.

Even Buddhism is divided within itself, so there are many sects.

But the question is, after such division, are sentient beings... still sentient beings?

Cloud Whale doesn’t know.

But what he knows is that if he wants to protect the Buddhist kingdom that he has devoted his life to, some things must be done.

Thus, the conspiracy and turmoil began throughout the Buddhist kingdom.

He began to focus on fighting coup plotters, infidels, and rebels.

Those groups that secretly conspired to subvert and overthrow the rule of the Buddhist Kingdom, and those villains who secretly undermined the rule with lies and charm, were "handled in advance" by Yun Jing.

Through a sophisticated use of assassination, coercion, and terror, he nips dangers in the bud.

He then built impregnable outposts and entrenched his troops, awaiting enemy attacks and checking their defensive strategies again and again.

Cloud Whale has also cultivated some loyal judges. These elites are always secretly concerned about the evil and corruption lurking within the Buddhist Kingdom.

When greed corrodes the Buddhist system, when the enemy attempts to lure believers into darkness, when the enemy uses conspiracy and violence to make believers about to abandon the Dharma, these judges usually come forward to expose and expose the Smash the evil conspiracy.

The Inquisitors are constantly fighting against any evil. Filled with fanaticism, they will do everything possible to protect the Buddha's kingdom.

Buddhism cannot protect the Buddhist country, but force can.

Cloud Whale finally established an authoritative charter to ensure that everything was running normally, so that the Buddha Kingdom would not let everything go out of order in his absence.

Order and regulations can keep everything running normally even when Cloud Whale himself is not around, and have the ability to purify themselves.

After all, Yunjing could sense that he was getting old. He had not yet broken through to the seventh level, and his lifespan was about to end.

After doing all this, Yunjing was very happy. He was enjoying the joy of success alone in his own hall.

His measures were very effective. Those villains who opposed the Buddhist Kingdom have been eliminated. If they appear in the future, they will definitely have the only way to be eliminated.

He sat in the main hall, enjoying his success.But at this time, Li Qi appeared.

Li Qi came to Yun Jing's side, and now Yun Jing had transformed into a human form.

"Ah, senior!" When Yun Jing saw Li Qi, he immediately bowed and saluted!

He still remembered that it was this person who taught him the Dharma.

Over the years, Yunjing has tried to figure out Li Qi's thoughts countless times. He felt that Li Qi must be the same existence as himself and others, spreading Buddhism.

The four demons themselves were influenced by his spread of Buddhism, and then went on the road of spreading Buddhism.

However, Li Qi looked at Yun Jing.

When I first met Yun Jing, he was full of Buddha nature.

Looking at Yun Jing now, he looks like an emperor, sitting alone in the main hall. The Buddhist Kingdom is stable because of him, and at the same time... the Buddhist Kingdom doesn't look like a Buddhist Kingdom anymore.

After staring at each other for a long time, Yun Jing sweated like rain, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

At this time, Li Qicai suddenly spoke: "Yunjing, I once taught you the Dharma. What do you think of your performance now?"

Hearing this, Yun Jing immediately raised his head, straightened his back, walked to the front of the hall, and introduced Li Qi: "About this, senior, you see, we spread Buddhism and established a Buddhist kingdom!"

He opened the palace door and showed Li Qi his magnificent palace!

Outside the palace, there are many Jialan Buddhist temples, with seven layers of railings, seven layers of nets, and seven layers of rows of trees, all surrounded by four treasures.

Goodbye, there are seven large pools filled with the eight meritorious waters. The bottom of the pool is made of pure gold sand, and the four sides are made of steps made of gold, silver, glazed pear and pear.

There are pavilions above, which are also decorated with gold, silver, colored glaze, pear, giant wood, red beads, and agate.

There is a lotus in the pool, as big as a wheel, with green light, yellow light, red light, white light, subtle fragrance, all of which are born from the lotus seeds of the lotus among the four demons.

Yun Jing proudly introduced all this, and couldn't wait to introduce his achievements to Li Qi, who had taught him the Dharma.

"The weather in the country is smooth, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, all the good roots are good, and there are good men and women who hear and preach the Dharma and uphold the name, all of which are protected by all the Buddhas! All living beings in the country always wear their clothes on the Qing Dynasty. Shengzhong Miaohua!"

"Such a land of bliss, with such majestic merits and virtues! Senior, can you see the prosperity of Buddhism?"

Yunjing looked at Li Qi expectantly.

Li Qi, on the other hand, scanned everything in front of him.

In fact, he had already seen these.

He even understands the Buddhist kingdom they created better than Yun Jing himself.

So, after reading this, Li Qi asked: "Do you think this is Buddhism?"

"Why not? I remember the Buddhist country that our predecessors described to us. All of these are established according to the ideal Buddhist country." Yun Jing said.

"Well...then what do you think is the difference between this Buddhist country and other countries? Why can it be called a Buddhist country instead of an ordinary country?" Li Qi asked again.

This question made Yun Jing stunned for a moment, but he immediately started talking non-stop.

He began to introduce the advantages of Buddhism.

Once he introduced it, he kept talking for a quarter of an hour.

How many temples, all the monks, and three thousand temples were reported one by one.

The weather is smooth, the Buddha is devout, good men and women believe, all living beings have the intention to recite the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. The land is full of garlands, monks can be seen everywhere, all living beings have the Dharma in mind, and have compassion for each other. All the people are very happy and have the same heart.

Then, he looked at Li Qi: "Can't such a country be called a Buddhist country? In the past, when I used my body to feed birds and beasts, I saw countless famines and evil things, but there is no such thing in the Buddhist country. All this is brought about by Buddhism!"

Li Qi nodded, expressing approval.

Then, Li Qi asked: "Indeed, all of this can be said to be brought about by Buddhism, but... wouldn't all of this happen without Buddhism?"

Yun Jing was puzzled and asked: "If there were no Buddha Dharma, the world would definitely be full of ignorance and ignorance. Therefore, one would fall into the twelve causes and conditions, leading to death, crying, and suffering immeasurable pain. However, under the Dharma, the crazy person's body and mind would be normal and poisoned." Those who are poisoned cannot do it, and those who are blocked can be liberated. Is this something else that can do it?"

Li Qi did not answer this rhetorical question.

Because he has already felt that Yun Jing's life has come to an end.

He is about to die, and the eighth grade has a lifespan.

"Senior... what I did was good, right?" At the end of his life, Yun Jing looked at Li Qi and said.

Li Qi didn't answer, just stared at him.

Yun Jing felt an eager feeling rising in his heart, wanting to be recognized.

Ever since Li Qi taught him the Dharma, he has become more obsessed.

If this obsession continues to hold him back, he will not be able to rest in peace.

He wanted someone authoritative and powerful enough to approve of what he had done in his life.

Li Qi remained silent.

Yun Jing became more and more anxious, and he began to feel upset. Li Qi's attitude seemed... as if he was saying that he had 'done something wrong'.

He couldn't accept this answer.

His life began with compassion and acceptance of Buddhism. But now, when he looks back, has he really done the right thing in his life?

Li Qi still didn't speak.

Yun Jing wanted to vent the anger in his heart. He became more and more anxious, and the fire of anger surged out of his heart, but he could not vent in front of Li Qi.

Because Li Qi was too strong. When he was young, he didn't understand how powerful Li Qi was.

But now, he has experienced the world and gone through countless battles, and he has a deep understanding that the man in front of him is probably an extraordinary and powerful person.

It was so powerful that it was beyond his understanding. Even the strongest person he had ever seen, the demon lord who ruled the boundless territory, could not match him in the slightest.

Time passed slowly, and the cloud whale gradually weakened.

He seemed to feel that he would not get the answer, so he slumped down and waited for his life to pass.

Just when his consciousness was in a trance, Li Qi walked up to him and said: "The reason why a Buddhist country is a Buddhist country is not because of Buddhism, but because of you..."

is it?

Because of me?
Not getting an answer, Cloud Whale closed his eyes completely.

But this is what Li Qi saw.

The reason why a Buddhist country is a Buddhist country is not because of Buddhism, but because of Yunjing.

Living and working in peace and contentment, worshiping the Three Jewels, all of these are not Buddhism, but just Yunjing's kindness.

Is this considered Buddhism?
