Honghuang, my disciple ruined Journey to the West

Chapter 83 What is cultivation, Fa Hai is silent!
"hypocritical!"

"Too hypocritical!"

Prince Li Chengqian, standing in the crowd, cursed secretly.Chen Xuanzang was so arrogant and full of righteousness, saying that he was an eminent monk who strictly abided by the rules and precepts.

Also said that he has never liked any woman?
So what happened to Liu Jinlian at Yunqing Inn?

Yes, Li Chengqian admitted that Liu Jinlian was arranged by him, and deliberately seduced Chen Xuanzang, but if Chen Xuanzang really sticks to his heart, how can he get into the urn if he is an eminent monk who does not commit adultery and is a serious monk.

Isn't it ridiculous how such a hypocritical monk can benefit the common people in the world!
Including Fa Hai, who was in front of Chen Xuanzang, also had a look of surprise on his face. He stared at Chen Xuanzang closely, but found that Chen Xuanzang's face was indifferent, and his heart was as calm as water, as if nothing could stir up waves in his heart.

"It shouldn't be!"

"There is something wrong with Chen Xuanzang!" Fa Hai thought secretly.

Neither he nor Li Chengqian thought that it was the Avalokitesvara who used great magic to cut off a part of Chen Xuanzang's cause and effect, which made Chen Xuanzang forget Liu Jinlian.It seems that he and Liu Jinlian have never had the slightest intersection!
"Amitabha!"

Chen Xuanzang recited the Buddha's name, looked at Fa Hai with peace of mind, and said calmly, "Elder Fa Hai, have you ever been satisfied with the poor monk's answer?"

Fa Hai nodded, but did not speak.

"Since Elder Fa Hai is satisfied, the poor monk will ask you a second question."

"The second question is to ask Elder Fa Hai, what is cultivation?"

It has to be said that the two questions Chen Xuanzang asked are very profound, and both of them have Buddhist principles implied in them.The first question he asked was why he practiced Buddhahood. In fact, what he wanted to ask Fa Hai was the origin of the self and the Buddha;

As for the second question, what is practice, Fa Hai actually asked where the Buddha is, and how to connect the Buddha with those who believe in and respect him.

The arena was quiet, Fa Hai sat quietly, all eyes fell on him.Fa Hai has no expression on his face, thinking quietly, but his eyes are like orchids and empty valleys, full of peace.

For a long time, Fahai didn't speak!
This made the people under the treasure platform quite impatient, and some people shouted foul language.

"Monk Fahai, can you do it? If you can't answer, then come down, don't occupy the latrine without shitting!"

"That's right! I think this monk is speechless. He wants to use this method to delay time, but what's the use of it? We are not fools. Since you can't answer, step down obediently and don't want to stick a pig's nose into a green onion." , put garlic in there!"

"Come down! Come down!"

"Come down quickly, I have to go home to arrange meals, but I don't have time to watch your monk sit cross-legged and say nothing!"

All the people were puzzled by Fa Hai's sit-in, and condemned him one after another!

Fa Hai, who was sitting there, looked calm, but panicked in his heart, secretly cursing Chen Xuanzang, why such a difficult problem happened.It was the first question just now, and Fa Hai was able to answer it, which is considered to be a chicken leg.

Now, what to do with this question.

Yes, Fahai has read many Buddhist scriptures in the dojo, and he has gained a deep knowledge of Buddha nature and Buddhist principles, but he really doesn't want to be a monk in his bones.

Seeing that Fa Hai was silent, Tang Wang Li Shimin couldn't help frowning slightly, thinking why he didn't answer, I'm still waiting for you to crush Chen Xuanzang.

But Li Shimin's worried expression quickly disappeared, and his expression turned calm.

"This Fahai is the disciple of that god-man in the dojo, and he also practices Buddhism. Elder Fahai must have understood and answered questions that imply Buddhist principles."

"It's because I was too anxious, so inappropriate! Just wait quietly."

However, after waiting for a long time, Fahai still did not open his mouth.

Even Avalokitesvara and Napofa Vajra in the dark were a little anxious and annoyed.

"You bastard, if you can't answer it, you can't answer it. How can you delay like this? This monk Fahai claims to be an eminent monk, and I think he is just a stick!"

"If you can't answer such a simple question, how can you deserve to participate in this Water and Land Ceremony? You're just asking yourself to be humiliated."

Pofa King Kong responded: "What the great master said is true. This monk Fahai seems to have a bit of Buddha nature, but he is actually a lazy monk who sneaked into Buddhism and enjoyed gold and silver for nothing. He is not worthy of being a monk, and he is far from the position of an eminent monk." Far!"

But just as the people were getting impatient with waiting, when Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva King Kong and Tang Wang's courtiers were wondering, an abrupt voice suddenly came out.

"I see, I understand Elder Fa Hai's intention!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at him one after another.

But the person who spoke was not someone else, but Empress Changsun next to King Tang.Empress Changsun is dressed in phoenix clothes, graceful and luxurious, although she doesn't look like a girl, she still has charm!
"Oh? Empress, do you know Elder Fa Hai's intention?" Li Shimin asked suspiciously.

Empress Changsun stood up, bowed slightly, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, although this Elder Fahai is silent, he has actually answered Elder Xuanzang's question."

"Just now Elder Xuanzang asked Elder Fahai what is cultivation?"

"Elder Fahai sits cross-legged like a Buddha. Isn't this a kind of practice? In fact, what Elder Fahai wants to say is that whether it's standing or lying down, eating or sleeping, or reading and writing, it's all a kind of practice." Practice!"

"Cultivation is a state of being in peace and thinking quietly. No matter what the environment is, if you can maintain this state, it can be called practice or experience."

"This kind of wisdom is really admired by the empress!"

"It also gave me a lot of enlightenment in the future!"

As soon as this remark came out, the shouting people below suddenly lost their mouths, and suddenly became enlightened!
Some people slapped their foreheads and muttered: "Oh! That's the truth, that's the truth! I'm so stupid that I didn't think of it. I'm such a pig brain."

"Yes, practice is everywhere, as long as you devote yourself to the Buddha and have the Dharma in your heart, it is a kind of practice!"

"Amazing! The answer given by Elder Fahai is really amazing. It covers a wide range and depth. It is worthy of being an eminent monk. We can't match it!"

"Thanks to Empress Empress, she cleared our confusion, otherwise we would have misunderstood Elder Fa Hai. Elder Fa Hai is really an eminent monk. It would be very good for him to be the host of this Water and Land Ceremony!"

All of a sudden, many people who originally favored Chen Xuanzang began to worship Fa Hai.

When he looked at Fahai, his eyes were shining brightly, as if he could gain many enlightenment just by looking at him one more time, and he would be one step closer to the fate of Buddha.

Avalokitesvara and Napofa Vajra, who had originally scolded Fahai, fell silent for a moment as if they had been slapped in the face.

Lingshan, above the Daxiong Palace.

Buddha Tathagata naturally heard the words of Empress Changsun, and changed his previous attitude with a kind smile on his face.

"Amitabha!"

"This Fahai is quite Buddhist. Although it comes from a mortal temple, it has a predestined relationship with my Buddha and can enter my door."

As soon as these words came out, those Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Vajras also showed surprise and astonishment, and there was no doubt that their eyes were full of envy.

"That Fahai is really lucky to be valued by the Buddha, and he has soared into the sky since then!"

"The Buddha actually fell in love with a mortal monk. What's so great about that monk, but he just answered a question left by Jin Chanzi. Ben Jialan has been in Lingshan for thousands of years, and he has never seen such kindness from the Buddha!"

"However, that monk Fahai is very handsome. I haven't seen such a handsome monk for a long time." Shiva Rudra licked his black and purple lips.

At this time, the Buddha Tathagata spoke and said to Tan Miaojialan, "Tan Miaojialan, you can go to Nandanbu Prefecture and bring that Fahai back to Wuling Mountain. I can accept it as a record." disciple!"

Sighing Miao Jialan walked out, said respectfully: "It's the Buddha, I'm going right now!"

Incarnate as a streamer, Na Tan Miaojialan crossed the clouds and left.
