Journey to the West: I, the Dragon Prince of the East China Sea, worship Bodhi

Chapter 133
Ao Qing heard Patriarch's question, thought for a while, and then said: "Master, in my opinion, apart from the demon king Bo Xun, the greater resistance to the spread of Buddhism to the east is actually Taoism and heaven."

Patriarch said: "This is natural."

If Buddhism wants to spread to the east, Dongsheng Shenzhou is impossible in the first place.Because Dongsheng Shenzhou is the territory of Taoism.There are Taoist saints, hermits, and people with great supernatural powers, and it is a paradise.

What he pursues is also the Taoist concept of "self-government through inaction".Leave it alone and let nature take its course.

Therefore, there is only Nanbubuzhou as an option.

But the forces in South Africa are also intricate.And there is where the human race is now, and there are many things involved.

If you want to spread eastward, you must communicate well with Taoism and heaven.

Fortunately, it is a three-multiplication method.If it was the Nirvana Buddhism of ancient times, no matter how they communicated, it is estimated that Taoism and heaven would not agree.

Ao Qing said: "The Three Vehicles were inspired by the Taoist ancestors, and their essence was born for universal salvation. Taoism and Heaven will also recognize it. But if you really want to achieve this, you still have to combine the three religions. The best way It's in the selection of Journey to the West."

The patriarch was very interested: "Oh? You mean, let Taoism and Heavenly Court send a person to participate in the eastward transmission of Buddhism?"

"Exactly."

Ao Qing said: "If Taoism and Heaven are willing to agree, then this matter can be completed. Moreover, if Taoism and Heaven send a person to accompany the journey to the west, it is expected that the demon lord Bo Xun will not dare to obstruct it openly."

If only the Buddhist side spread eastward, then Bo Xun would definitely try his best to stop it.

At that time, there will naturally be many difficulties and many obstacles.

But if Daomen and Heavenly Court also participate in it, then naturally it will be different.

Even the demon lord Bo Xun did not dare to fight against the three religions at the same time by himself.

Even, to be honest, Bo Xun couldn't afford to offend Taoism!
The "peaceful mind" of Taoism is precisely the power that the magic way feels very troublesome.

However, the Patriarch said: "You are right. But it is already difficult to get Taoism and Heavenly Court to agree with Dong Chuan. Let alone send a person from them?"

Ao Qingdao: "The spread of the Three Vehicles to the east to Nanfangbuzhou is actually a good thing for the Heavenly Court and the Taoist sects. Those with great supernatural powers all aim to transcend themselves. If the Buddhadharma is spread eastward and the three religions are integrated into one, it is absolutely fine. Take its essence and discard its dross. Moreover, there are some celestial beings in the Taoist school, which are like Buddhism, with great compassion, great perseverance, and great perseverance. For example, that is the case with the Taiyi saving the suffering celestial being. As long as it is handled properly, it should not be a big problem But in terms of candidates, you have to think carefully."

The Patriarch nodded, and there was nothing wrong with what Ao Qing said.

He has already seen the three religions of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism very clearly.

The great supernatural beings of the three religions have a subtle attitude towards ordinary people.

Because there are all kinds of great supernatural powers.Naturally, their understanding of mortals also has their own ideas.

But generally speaking, apart from the magic way, the great supernatural beings of the Three Realms, at worst, just hold an "indifferent" attitude towards mortals.

Many Taoist celestial deities are mostly benevolent to themselves and let nature take its course. There are also celestial beings such as Taiyi Save the Suffering, Emperor Fengdu and others who show compassion and mercy to mortals.

And the gods such as the heavens are probably protected by mortals who respect them.

In short, they either don't care about mortals, or they have compassion and compassion.

Therefore, the integration of Buddhism into Nanfang Buzhou, Tianting and Daomen will naturally not be too opposed.

Of course, there is a premise, that is, the three vehicles of Buddhism cannot destroy the existing pattern.

If it is similar to the Dharma of Nirvana, let alone talk about it, the Heavenly Court will not approve it in the first place.

Ao Qing continued: "Secondly, compared to passing on to the east, it is better to let one person from Nanfang Buzhou go west to learn scriptures. On the one hand, it can reflect the preciousness of the three vehicles, so that ordinary people value it, and the inheritance is not easy to sever, and the people can accept it. On the other hand, it can also be made less abrupt. After all, it would seem presumptuous if Buddhist Bodhisattvas were allowed to teach the Dharma themselves."

"Besides, I think it's better to go westward sooner rather than later. Before that, there are still many preparations. Not to mention my future junior, I'm afraid it hasn't been born yet. It is the preparation for the eastward journey. There is also a lot to do. For example, the timing of spreading the Dharma to the east must wait until the Nanbubuzhou is unified before spreading the Dharma. Otherwise, it is easy to be used by the demons. Secondly, before spreading the Dharma, it is best to borrow Buddhist stories The legend, let the people know about Buddhism..."

There was a look of approval in the eyes of the patriarch.

Ao Qing's thinking was more thoughtful than that of himself and the Buddha.Being able to see things so thoroughly, it seems that there is no one more suitable than him to promote the westward journey.

"If it is as you said, this matter is indeed easy to hear. Even if it is the way of the devil, it cannot prevent the spread of Buddhism to the east." The patriarch said.

Ao Qing looked at Patriarch, paused for a moment, then suddenly said: "Although that is the case, we must guard against that demon lord Bo Xun using other methods."

Patriarch said: "Other ways?"

Ao Qing said: "That's right. If I were Na Bo Xun, if I couldn't stop it, maybe I would go with the flow and take advantage of the situation. For example... since I can't stop the spread of Buddhism, can I distort the meaning of Buddhism and let Is the Dharma useful to me?"

Patriarch was slightly taken aback.

Immediately, a divine light suddenly appeared in his eyes!
Yes.

Right after Ao Qing said this, the Patriarch suddenly realized this.

He immediately calculated with great mana.After a while, a strange color appeared in his eyes.

Although the patriarch cannot fully predict the future actions of the demon lord Bo Xun.But judging from the clues, Nabo Xun is very likely to be like this!

"If he is really like this, he can be regarded as a generation of heroes..." Patriarch couldn't help but said.

It is able to integrate the magic way into Buddhism and take advantage of the situation.Bo Xun is also very powerful!
No, it should be said that Ao Qing's ability to think of this is very powerful.

"Xinxuan, what you said should not be underestimated. I will tell the Tathagata. But this is not something you and I have to think about. Don't worry too much, just let the Tathagata have a headache." Patriarch Said.

"Yes." Ao Qing nodded slightly, and suddenly, he asked again: "Speaking of which, my future junior...doesn't know when he was born?"

The patriarch said: "Your younger brother is the fairy stone in Huaguo Mountain in Aolai country. Tinting. Now within a thousand years, it will be born at any time. You can also warm up this fairy stone in advance, and it will naturally grow a lot faster. Maybe it will be born in ten or eight years, which is also normal."

"Will it be another thousand years?"

Ao Qing was slightly surprised.

But when you think about it, it's normal.For him now, a thousand years is but a blink of an eye.

Besides, as the patriarch said, I also have the ability to make that monkey come out in advance...
