Pei Lujun clasped his hands together and said to Li Xiuning, "Uncle Shi, it doesn't matter if it's useful or not, it's all a matter of personal understanding."

Li Xiuning nodded and said, "I only know a little superficially. You have a long-lasting Dharma inheritance, and you are a master of Dharma in the world. I'm just talking about it roughly. Whether it's right or not, it's easy to laugh at."

Pei Lujun nodded with a smile, and Li Xiuning said, "The current Buddhism is mostly inherited from Theravada Buddhism, and Mahayana Buddhism was born out of Theravada Buddhism. To distinguish the two, it is called Mahayana and Mahayana."

"The difference between Mahayana and Hinayana is quite profound in detail."

I can see that all living beings are in the cycle of life and death, and want to go beyond the cycle of life and death, and seek their own liberation, so it is called Hinayana; what they seek is only for themselves, but not for others.If someone is studying, he is also willing to teach and help, but he cannot save all sentient beings, so the result is only Nirvana for himself; therefore, the reason is also relatively shallow, and he can only empty himself but not all dharmas.The small fruit of reason and practice is also small, that is, the fruit of the Hinayana motivation and even the Hinayana cultivation.

The aspiration of the Mahayana is not for oneself, but for all living beings without self, taking all living beings as oneself.Such as killing one's body to achieve benevolence, giving up one's life for righteousness, one's own life does not belong to one's own but belongs to everyone; his heart is for the public, so he can become a Bodhisattva.

There is a big difference here, the Mahayana has no definite scope, and the bodhisattva's aspirations are boundless and boundless, so it is said that all living beings have boundless vows to deliver.If you want to save the country, you should know the history of our country and the living conditions of the people before you can save the country.If you want to save all sentient beings in the whole Dharma Realm, you must first understand its principles before you can save all sentient beings.

If you see all kinds of troubles in sentient beings, you must know all kinds of methods; if you want to save countless beings, you must learn countless methods.Firstly, from the position of Bodhisattva with the initial aspiration, one gradually cultivates to the position of Buddha, and then one can save all sentient beings to become a Buddha, and only then can one really have the wisdom and ability to save all sentient beings.

Therefore, the Mahayana is motivated by the universal salvation of all living beings, and thoroughly understands all the boundless worlds and boundless sentient beings, so as to get rid of their troubles; to achieve perfection, you can become a Buddha, and only after you become a Buddha can you have the function of universal salvation. "

"In short, talking about Mahayana and Hinayana is a metaphor. Mahayana is a metaphor for saving countless sentient beings. Hinayana is a metaphor for saving a small number of sentient beings."

Pei Lujun was fascinated when he heard it, "Is there any scriptures in this Mahayana Buddhism?"

Li Xiuning nodded, and said, "Theory of Great Wisdom, Theory of Madhyamaka, and Theory of Precious Accumulation, but there may not be any in the Central Plains. I have only heard about it, and have never seen it."

"It's hard to say, maybe there is the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, but it may be shelved." Pei Lujun said with a smile, "I will go to the White Horse Temple later, to see what happened."

Li Xiuning said, "I have two scriptures here, one is the "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra" and the other is "The Sutra of Praising Mahayana Merit and Virtue."

Good people do it to the end and send Buddha to the West.

Mahayana Buddhism gradually became mainstream after Xuanzang, so Xuanzang's scriptures must be useful.

The main reason is that these two Buddhist scriptures have few words and are easy to remember.

Immediately recited these two scriptures, Mr. Pei Lu was fascinated when he heard the scriptures.

Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing murmured softly at the side, "This Mahayana Buddhism's salvation of sentient beings is similar to my Confucianism's enlightenment."

Liu Wenjing nodded, "The Hinayana Buddhism is only for the self, and the Mahayana Buddhism is for the sentient beings. This pattern is different."

Pei Ji also nodded in agreement.

I heard Li Xiuning say, "This is a bit biased. Hinayana Buddhism believes that it is impossible for a person to become a Buddha. At most, he can only cultivate to the level of Arhat and liberate himself. So of course they cannot save others. You yourself are a Half a bucket of water, how to teach others? It’s not that Hinayana Buddhists only want to become an arhat, but they don’t want to become a Buddha. It’s just that they think they can’t achieve it at all.”

Liu Wenjing pondered for a while, and said, "There is some truth to it. Isn't Mahayana Buddhism just misleading people?"

Li Xiuning shook her head and said, "Mahayana Buddhism believes that there is Buddha nature in human nature, but it is fascinated and has not been discovered and developed. After practicing, it may be developed. The so-called "clear mind" Therefore, through practice, one can become an Arhat or even a Bodhisattva. If it can be fully induced and fully manifested, it will become a Buddha. Therefore, it will naturally be able to save all living beings, because it has the possibility of unsurpassed enlightenment.”

Pei Ji smiled and said, "I've said both the truth and the irony. My understanding of Buddhism is still somewhat one-sided. After all, I am not a monk. I always look at these issues in a biased way."

After the words fell, endless Buddha light suddenly appeared on Pei Lujun's body. Several people stared nervously at Pei Lujun. After preaching the scriptures, you will know who I am today."

Then he stood up, threw himself on the ground to Li Xiuning, and worshiped.

"After today, I will see the master and perform the disciple's ceremony."

Li Xiuning helped Pei Lujun up and asked, "How is it?"

Pei Lujun smiled and said, "Uncle Shi's kindness in teaching the Dharma can never be repaid. Now there is no need to debate the scriptures, this world can already be broken with a wave of hands."

"It's so good, let's go up and destroy the Buddha Kingdom in our palm." Pei Ji said happily.

Pei Lujun shook his head and said, "It's absolutely impossible. I just realized one thing, but I can't hide it from everyone."

Li Xiuning frowned, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

I heard Pei Lujun say, "If you go straight up and overthrow the false Buddha, Pei Lujun will be finished."

"Why is this?" Pei Ji asked, "If you don't overthrow the false Buddha, how can you destroy the Buddha Kingdom in your palm?"

Pei Lujun hesitated, but heard Li Xiuning say, "Because you are not Pei Lujun."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Wenjing and Pei Ji were immediately puzzled, "Pingyang, isn't he Lu Jun?"

Li Xiuning nodded and said, "Actually, from the first time I saw you, I was a little puzzled. Pei Lujun is only a ten-year-old child, and he grew up in this mountain temple, but he speaks and acts quite well. , there is a limit to advancing and retreating."

Pei Lujun bowed his head a little ashamedly, Li Xiuning continued, "You are the present among the Buddhas of the third generation, and today's false Buddha is Pei Lujun, only Pei Lujun's grade suddenly gained powerful power, but he didn't have the matching mood, so it caused Such a disaster."

"This..." Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing looked at Li Xiuning and Pei Lujun dumbfounded.

"Actually, Mr. Pei Luv had a heart demon that day, and he had already called the elders in the temple to help him kill it. You didn't come out after you killed the demon. From the moment Pei Lujun accepted the inheritance of Tanyan, you were born. I said Right?" Li Xiuning said, looking sharply at Pei Lujun in front of her.

"The master is really as insightful as a torch. One thing the master said is wrong. Pei Lujun's inner demon is actually me, because the elders in the temple knew about Tan Yan's arrangements and intentions, and did not kill me. This caused Pei Lujun's xinxing to go wrong."

"Then what are you?" Pei Ji asked sharply.

"Tanyan is me, and Pei Lujun is also me. I am neither Tanyan nor Peilujun. I am Tanyan from the past, Peilujun from the present, and me from the future."

Li Xiuning sighed, "Actually, you are Pei Lujun. You feel that you are not yourself, but you have always been yourself."

"What does the master mean by this?"

"If you don't realize it, even if it happened for thousands of years, you still don't realize it. If you realize it, you will be surrounded by the Lingshan Mountains of the Western Heaven." Li Xiuning said, how does my mother know, anyway, the words of Buddhism are all in the clouds, Fudge first.

It's been really hard to write this thing for the past two days. . .I don't know if you like it or not, but I feel uncomfortable writing it, so I skip it quickly. . . .The next chapter, Qiyan Temple is over.
