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

Chapter 263
After Patriarch Bodhi left, Ao Qing looked at Jin Chanzi and said, "Master is a disciple of the World-Honored One. I think the Dharma is profound. When I came to Sanxing Cave, could it be that I was looking for Ao Qing to talk about Buddhism? Buddhism, but it’s just a little dabbled in. I’m afraid I can’t inspire Jin Chanzi.”

Hearing this, Jin Chanzi hurriedly said: "Fellow Taoist Ao Qing is overrated. You are the true biography of Patriarch Bodhi, as the saying goes: A famous teacher produces a high-ranking disciple. The patriarch is also a combination of the three religions. It is expected that the Taoist friend also has his own uniqueness about the 'Buddha'. I understand. However, I did not come here this time to discuss Buddhism with fellow Taoists."

Ao Qing said: "What is that for?"

Jin Chanzi said: "I admire you as a fellow Taoist, so I came here."

"Oh?"

Ao Qing said: "Admiration for my character?"

Jin Chanzi said: "Fellow Daoists surrendered the monsters such as the Jiao Demon King, wiped out the plague in Nanbuzhou, and rescued the people. Killed the Great Lord of the River God, pacified the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and protected the people under the hands of the Nine Golden Crows. Conquering demons and eliminating demons in Zhouzhou. Not only that... I also said that the World Honored One said that the suppression of Xiangliu 5 years ago was also related to fellow daoists. Such a demeanor made me look forward to it very much. Especially the methods of fellow daoists , did not hold back the slightest bit of demons, and even wiped out their spirits, this made me feel very much in my heart."

Ao Qing was a little surprised.

He was surprised by two things.First, this Jin Chanzi is very Buddhist, but he seems to admire his methods of subjugating demons and demons, especially... he didn't hold back anything.

Is it a ruthless method that doesn't even leave your body and soul when you do it yourself?This is not like what people in Buddhism say.

At least, the Queen Mother probably didn't know about it, and the same is probably true of Guanyin Bodhisattva.Otherwise, the Queen Mother should have mentioned this matter when they met last time.

This is also why great supernatural powers often do not kill monsters directly.Because from a long-term point of view, killing them is meaningless, just one or two. If there are too many, it will be impossible to kill them all, and it will only increase the variables.

In Ao Qing's view, not everyone knows about the great supernatural beings in the "Holy" realm, let alone the "Fairy" realm.

Ao Qing frowned: "So, it's too hostile? Moreover, the so-called 'killing is to protect life, killing karma is not killing people' is actually not in line with the teachings of Buddhism. In essence, it is not a Buddhist sect. statement."

Tathagata vaguely revealed this matter to Jin Chanzi, as if he wanted to make Jin Chanzi feel admiration and yearning for him.In this way, it seems that Jin Chanzi's coming here does have the meaning of Tathagata?
Ao Qing thought a lot, but Jin Chanzi didn't think so much, and said: "3 years ago, I became a disciple of the World-Honored One and practiced Buddhism more and more. The common people are uneducated. I command the demons, but the demons don’t understand the truth. It was not until later that the Taoist ancestor Zi Qi came to the east, the group of demons changed, the Daoist sage sealed the three life stones, and the Yuchen Tianzun suppressed Mo Luo, and he had infinite vitality. Only then did I know, only It is impossible to save all sentient beings by relying on the words of the Dharma.”

Jin Chanzi said: "I have seen through it in Hezhou, Xiniu. Only relying on Buddhism alone will never be able to educate living beings, let alone demons. Even if it is possible, it will take ten to a hundred years, or even thousands of years, to be able to educate a dozen or so animals." It’s just a monster. In the process, there will be infinite variables, which will cause more innocent creatures to suffer. So in my opinion, like a fellow Taoist, directly destroying all the gods and forms that the monster beats, and the soul is scattered. Killing lives to save the common people is the real way to save all sentient beings."

However, even if it is wiped out, the countless karma in Beiju Luzhou cannot be truly eliminated.At that time, it will only be given to the Sixth Heaven of Desire Realm in vain to enhance the strength of the Demonic Dao.Even if they are forced to reincarnate in the six realms of reincarnation and become evil people, it will disturb the living beings in the world.

However, these things are not what Ao Qing should think about now.He asked Jin Chanzi, "Even so, so what?"

Therefore, even if the body dies, after going through six reincarnations, drinking Mengpo soup, there will be no memory.But that soul is still in the abyss of darkness, and his nature is also evil.

Jin Chanzi's eyes were delighted when he heard the words, and he stood up suddenly and said: "Okay! Friends of the Daoist, you can say that I have completely expressed my inner thoughts. What a killing to protect life, killing karma is not beheading people! Fellow Daoist did not disappoint me! And this sentence is quite in line with my Buddhist teachings."

Ao Qing frowned slightly, and said: "This is the first time I've heard of this. However, it's not incomprehensible."

"I want to save all sentient beings. However, it is difficult for sentient beings, so I have to find another way!"

Ao Qing asked, "What do you mean by that?"

And those villains, the number of them, even far surpassed the mortals in Nanfang Buzhou.If they are allowed to step into the path of cultivation unintentionally, there will be unknowable variables.

Xuanshui can wash away karma, make most of the monsters lose their souls, and their gods and forms are completely destroyed. It can be said that it is the best way to solve the scourge of demons in Beiju Luzhou.Of course, if you do this, Yuchen Tianzun may also be infected with the great karma of violating the way of heaven, and the way and deeds will be damaged.

Ao Qing said: "I have no idea. However, those monsters who died at my hands all deserved their crimes. Even if they were wiped out, I don't have the slightest feeling of guilt. If I have to find a reason, it is... 'Killing is to protect life, killing karma is not killing people'."

Jin Chanzi said: "I don't know if you know, even if a monster dies, it is difficult to reincarnate? Even if it is reincarnated, it will only be reincarnated as a villain?"

After all, the way of heaven is fair, and to the way of heaven, even a demon is life.One or two is enough, but Jinque Yuchen Tianzun wants to wipe out hundreds of millions of lives!
From the demon's point of view, what he did was tantamount to an act of great evil.

What Jin Chanzi did made Ao Qing a little surprised, he always felt that something was wrong, and said: "You mean..."

The second reason is that the golden cicada had even vaguely heard about the matter of Xiangliu from the Tathagata Buddha.

Although, Tathagata did not directly specify.But this incident happened in the "Dream World", and few people know about it.

This is why Beiju Luzhou is still full of demons and chaos until now.

Jin Chanzi asked: "I just ask you, what are you thinking in your heart when you are killing those monsters?"

For example, there are more than hundreds of millions of monsters in Beiju Luzhou.The Patriarch of Nine Heavens Sweeping Demons was just sweeping up, suppressing, not slaughtering.But the Heavenly Court is not completely without the power to slaughter the Beiju Luzhou demons.

Of course, Yuchen Tianzun's methods are really cruel.Ao Qing also admired the strategy of "Xuan Shui".

The so-called monsters are really the existence of being drawn out of the desire in the bottom of the heart and falling into the sea of ​​suffering.Not only the body, but the soul has fallen into the magic way.

Although, this sentence was very famous and widely known in the previous life.But to be honest, this basically runs counter to the purpose of Buddhism.

Moreover, Ao Qing also felt that Jin Chanzi's understanding of this sentence was somewhat wrong.

In Ao Qing's view, this sentence is more like "killing" and "cutting people" as a last resort in the process of protecting life.But if you behead people and kill life specifically to protect life, you will easily go astray.

Obviously, Jin Chanzi thought so.
