Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 81 To Be A Lovely Buddhist

Dao Rong.

It really melted at the moment.

In front of the monk, every time Dao Rong punched, not only could he not hurt the monk, but his shell would be knocked off a bit, revealing his false beliefs like water without roots.

Dao Rong closed his eyes in pain.

He really wanted to find Qicun of Seng Dao, but Seng Dao was no longer a snake, but turned into a dragon, making Dao Rong feel ashamed in front of him.

"These, who taught you?"

"Yes."

Dao Rong became more and more painful.

"Brother! You are wrong! He is not someone with great wisdom, he is a demon! He destroyed our Buddha!"

The monk director looked at Daorong who was gradually collapsing with sympathy.

He has also experienced this kind of collapse of faith.

But Liu Yizhen caught him up.

Now it's the monk's turn to scoop up his junior brother Dao Rong.

"Junior brother, why stick to others?"

"One grain of sand, one world, one person, one Buddha."

"Buddha belongs to you and me, so why look for it elsewhere?"

The monk guide turned his back to the crowd, but his voice sounded like thunder.

"There are four truths in the human world, namely: Suffering, origin, extinction, and Tao. How do you explain it?"

"My Buddha has the Eightfold Path, namely: Right View, Right Thought, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, and Right Concentration."

"My Buddha has Dharma, which says: Heart and Earth Dharma. To practice, you must change your heart and change your heart. Restore your broad mind, pure heart, upright heart, compassionate heart, and equal heart."

"People in my Buddhist school need to understand etiquette, accept the three refuges, observe the five precepts, repent and make vows, and understand cause and effect."

"I vow to save all sentient beings. I vow to end my troubles."

"Vow to learn boundless Dharma. Vow to achieve supreme Buddhahood."

"In this way, everyone in the world will become a Buddha!"

When the last four words were spoken, there was no sound from the altar.

Dao Rong looked at the monk with dry mouth at this time.

At this moment, it was like a thunderbolt descending on his mind, which shattered all the known Dharma in his previous life.

At this point he was a little dazed.

Is this still Buddhism?

Why is the Buddha in the monk's mouth completely different from the one he knew and the master taught?
If the Buddha taught by the monk is correct, doesn't that mean that he is wrong and the master is wrong?

Dao Rong's body began to tremble.

"Senior brother."

The monk guide came to Daorong and put his hand on Daorong's shoulder.

"I didn't abandon the Buddha, and it wasn't the Buddha who abandoned me."

"It's that I want to become a Buddha."

"Would you...would you like to come?"

Daorong's throat seemed to be blocked by something, he seemed like a person struggling in hell, suddenly a Buddha's light appeared and dissipated all the evil spirits around him.

"Brother..."

Dao Rong lowered his head slowly, clasped his hands together, and two lines of tears left from the corners of his eyes, "Amitabha."

Seeing that the junior brother was freed from the sea of ​​suffering, the monk leader smiled knowingly.

Finally, he looked at the monks under the Buddhist altar: "Everyone, is there anyone else who wants to discuss Buddhism with the old monk?"

All the monks: "..."

What are you discussing?
The source of northern Buddhism is basically Kumarajiva.

Now that even Dao Rong, a disciple of Kumarajiva, has voted, what confidence do they have in being able to argue against the monk?

Many people even began to comfort themselves in their hearts——

The monk guide is also a disciple of Kumarajiva!In a sense, the Zen theory founded by the monk is the development and inheritance of the original Buddhism!

Just like the current development of Confucianism, even Confucius and other old people don’t know it. Is there something wrong with the development of Buddhism?Absolutely not!

At best, his steps were a bit too big, and he hit the egg.

As for what Chang'an Gong?Does he know shit about Buddhism?It must be that Master Seng Dao once became enlightened!

The comfort in my heart is always very effective, and soon some young monks calmed down.

Maybe it's because he didn't have a deep understanding of the original Buddhism, so he accepted it quickly and lost it quickly.Instead, what he is most interested in now is the new Dharma that the monk teacher just said.

Everyone becomes a Buddha.

Isn't this more fragrant than being a nobleman in the next life?Isn't it more compelling than the penance of this life?
So many monks stopped being obsessed with arguing, but began to ask monks to teach them about the new Buddhist teachings, namely the teachings of Zen.

It can be seen that the director of the monk has thoroughly understood what Liu Yizhen taught, and explained every point of Zen teachings in great detail.

And young people are also the fastest to accept new ideas. Soon some people are attracted by the teachings of Zen and ask to worship monks as teachers.

The monk guide is naturally very happy, this is what he and Liu Yizhen agreed, he can go to strengthen Zen and teach Buddhism.

"Master Seng Dao, I would like to ask how to become a Buddha?"

"Report to the country, and help the common people."

"Master Seng Dao, what if I don't have the ability?"

"If you are poor, you will be alone, and you will demand yourself with strict precepts. Set an example for others."

"Master Seng Dao, can Zen Buddhism be passed down from generation to generation?"

"Yes, since everyone can become a Buddha, if a new life is conceived, it also means that a new Buddha is born."

"Master Seng Dao, I have enlightened! I will return to lay life and let my four concubines have children, ah no, it is to become a Buddha."

"..."

The biggest difference between the new Zen and the original Buddhism is that it is actively involved in the world, and you can't become an otaku just because you are afraid of causing trouble to others (contaminated with karma).

However, one must also pay attention to how one enters the WTO, one cannot use literature to disrupt the law, let alone violate prohibitions with military force.

This is where discipline comes in handy.

In short, the teaching of Zen is to teach monks to be a lovely Buddhist.

When the country needs it, you have to stand up.

When the country does not need it, you must abide by the precepts, study hard, be a good person, and look forward to becoming a Buddha.

Although it still hasn't got rid of the attribute of "fooling" religion, but in this way, Buddhists who believe in Zen can at least benefit the country and the people.

Of course, there are also monks who don't follow this set.

For example, a few monks from the south who claim to be the grandsons of Master Faxian.

"Demon talk to confuse the public!"

They looked at the monk who was widely sought after on the altar, and they didn't look repentant at all. Instead, they were full of anger and a little...jealousy?
"What should I do? Do you want to go up and argue with the other party now?"

"Debate your head!"

After scolding the younger brother who can't recognize the form now, the head monk secretly hated: "What master Daorong, I think he is in the same group as that shitty monk!"

"what?"

Others were a little surprised, only the person who said this seemed to see through everything.

"The two of them were brothers in the early years, and now they are both in Guanzhong. I'm afraid they must have been bought by Liu...the one from Chang'an to play the double reed with us!"

Only then did the monks around them suddenly realize.

"Let's go! Tell Master everything about today, and then ask Master to go to Master Patriarch. We can't find the fault of monks teaching false teachings. It's not because our Dharma is wrong, but because our Dharma is not perfect!"

I would rather admit that people are not good than admit that the way is not fair!
The others nodded.

If you can't do it, you can't do it. It's not such a shame to admit defeat to Kumarajiva's disciples.

Immediately, these monks planned to leave secretly.

But when they reached the periphery of the crowd, a group of soldiers surrounded them.

A young man with half-long hair stood together with the soldiers, pointed at the monks and shouted: "Yes, yes, yes! Look out, military lords! The sneaky monks I mentioned earlier are them!"

The monks: "???"
