Chapter 306 Debate

Pei Miaode clasped his hands together, ignored the two cold-eyed young monks beside him, and apologized to Monk Sengwo.

"I'm sorry, I'm impatient at the next moment, and I mistook senior brother for an old friend, and I hope senior brother Haihan."

Monk Sengwo saw that Pei Miaode was a royal, but his attitude was not arrogant, quite different from those princes he knew in the background, so he couldn't help feeling more favorable.

He also put his hands together and returned a salute.

"Amitabha, the poor monk came to visit but didn't pass the invitation. It should be the poor monk."

"Besides, it is said that the crown prince is the reincarnation of the Buddha. He and the crown prince are old acquaintances. He must be a high-ranking eminent monk. It should be the honor of the poor monk to have a portrait of him."

Monk Sengwo also had a subtle expression on his face.

He was sure that he didn't know Monk Jingyuan, but the moment he called out his name, he felt familiar.

"Brother is a holy monk of the later generation, proficient in Buddhism, and will climb the Lingshan Pure Land in the future, why should you belittle yourself?"

Pei Miaode and him flattered each other a few more words, and finally got to the point.

"I don't know what is the reason for the brother's visit today?"

Hearing Pei Miaode's doubts, Monk Seng Wo's face turned reddish, and he repeatedly said that he was guilty, and then he opened his mouth in shame.

"It was the poor monk who listened to him and turned dark. He had some misunderstandings about the Buddha's actions. He wanted to persuade the Buddha to turn back. Now it seems that it is the poor monk who should return to the right way."

Zen Master Seng Wo clasped his palms together and preached Amitabha Buddha.

His two apprentices couldn't sit still.

Didn't they go here just to expose this fake Buddha? Why did the master give in to this descendant of Bo Xun when they arrived in Dayuan?

What kind of temper is my master, they disciples don't know?

To put it mildly, it means that there is no room for sand in the eyes. To put it mildly, it means to be jealous of evil. When encountering bad things, even if the other party is the royal family in the background, he is unwilling to give in to the other party.

At the beginning, in order to persuade Emperor Hou Jing to abolish torture and restore his reputation, monk Seng Wo followed the example of the Buddha in the past by cutting flesh and feeding eagles, and he was convinced by that cruel emperor.

This is why Zen Master Seng Wo has such a great reputation in the background.

Why did the master suddenly change after seeing the Buddha prince now? Could it be that he lowered his head to the master?
"His Royal Highness, there is one thing that the little monk is puzzled about. I wonder if His Highness can help the little monk."

Gavin Ye folded his hands together, and his tone was a little aggressive.

It is inconvenient for the master to ask questions, and the disciples will naturally help him if he has something to do. He still doesn't have a good impression of this Prince Miaode.

"Nephew, just say it."

Seeing the wry smile on Monk Sengwo's face, Pei Miaode immediately understood what was going on.

If you were someone else, you might be kicked out.

But after all, Chan Master Sengwo seems to be far from Monk Jingyuan, and he left a good impression on Pei Miaode, and Pei Miaode doesn't mind mentioning this little novice.

"During this journey, the little monk saw that the Buddhist temple was withering, and many people were devout to the Buddha, but they were forced to go down the mountain and return to the vulgarity after being repatriated by His Highness. As a disciple of the Buddha, how could His Highness do such a perverse thing."

Jia Wenye earnestly persuaded and said.

"Before I answer, I want to ask my nephew a question, were you born by your mother?"

Pei Miaode did not answer directly, but asked Kawenye back.

Gavin Yeh was furious when he heard this.

"How can a person be without a mother? If the little monk wasn't born to my mother, wouldn't it be possible that he could have jumped out of a rock?!"

Seeing that the other party was enraged, Pei Miaode showed a tricky smile.

Immediately, he continued without haste.

"Nephew, don't get angry. I don't mean to insult Ling Ci. I just want to ask my nephew to become a monk. Did your mother support you, and do you have brothers and sisters at home?"

"My master is proficient in Buddhism. He is a famous Zen master in the Dajing Dynasty. My mother is too happy to be accepted as a disciple by my master. How can she stop me? There are also three brothers and four sisters in my family."

Seeing that Pei Miaode was not humiliating himself, Jiawenye's anger subsided a little.

Although he didn't know what the other party's intention was, he still thought about it and replied seriously.

"Both my nephew and my parents are here, and I have three elder brothers to take care of my parents. With the happiness of the whole family, I can naturally study Buddhism with peace of mind."

"But those monks in Dayuan, I know that there is a novice monk whose biological father died early, and there are no brothers or sisters in the family. Only an old mother worked hard to bring him up and find a family for him. But this person is lazy and hardworking. , do not want to serve the old mother, raise a wife, but want to be relaxed and happy, and ran into the temple to become a monk. Is such a person devoting his heart to the Buddha?"

"Or in the name of becoming a Buddha, abandoning the principles and ethics of human beings and ignoring them?"

"Monks and monks, monks are also human beings, if you can't even do the most basic thing as an individual, how can you serve my Buddha?"

Pei Miaode's words were so sharp that Kavanye was speechless.

But at this time, Vimananlu recited Amitabha Buddha and stood up to help his senior brother.

"Amitabha, the crown prince secretly changed the concept. I'm afraid it's a bit unreasonable. There are those people who should let him go home to serve his parents. After his parents are a hundred years old, allow him to devote himself to the Buddha."

"But besides that, who else?"

"His Royal Highness ordered all those who did not hold the certificate to be sent back to their original places. Among them, there are like poor monks and senior brothers who have both parents and devotion to the Buddha. Why does His Highness reject such people as well?"

"My Buddha opened the door of enlightenment to save all people who can be saved. Doesn't His Highness run counter to my Buddha's intention by rejecting them?"

Pimo Nanlu was sharp-tongued, and quickly found out the flaws in Pei Miaode's words.

"Hmph, it's not that this palace has never given them a chance. Anyone who has been in the temple for three years only needs to recite a piece of scriptures and can roughly interpret the scriptures. If it is set, you can continue to study Qingxiu, but you must abide by the rules and regulations.”

"With more than a hundred people, not even one person can recite half of the scriptures. What kind of Buddha are these people practicing?"

Pei Miaode snorted coldly and asked bluntly.

"The Dharma is unpredictable. It's normal for these people not to understand its meaning. Your Highness, why don't you hold a big Dharma meeting and let eminent monks and virtuous monks explain it to you. After a long time, everyone will be able to understand it."

"Besides, Baizhang's rules are clear, and Rong Xiaoseng's blunt words are a bit too exacting and harsh."

Vimananlu didn't want to give up yet.

"I thought that my nephew, as a disciple of my senior monk, must have high opinions. I didn't expect such vulgar words. It's really disappointing!"

Pei Miaode's words made Pimenanlu blush, but without waiting for him to refute, he continued to speak.

"For a water and land ceremony, how much money is spent on gold, how much silver is, and now the Yuan Dynasty is in chaos, and people's livelihood will only recover a little bit. If you have this money, don't use it to benefit the people. Instead, hold the Naluoshizi ceremony. Monks If they are human beings, are the common people not human beings?"
