I!The Many Treasures Tathagata

Chapter 22 Where there is nothing to attract dust (Thanks to the book friend "You Sheng for the reward)

"The body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror stand. Wipe it diligently at all times, so as not to stir up dust."

Taishang tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart, and repeated this Buddhist gatha several times.

The more he recites, the more Zen-like it becomes, which is indeed much more profound than the Hinayana Buddhism he has comprehended.

From this point of view, Duobao has indeed comprehended Mahayana Buddhism.

"This is only the first level of Zen enlightenment, and there is another level."

"There is no tree in Bodhi, and the mirror is not a stage. Originally there is nothing, where can it cause dust."

Chen Duobao looked at Taishang's shocked expression, and said with a light smile.

This further, more Zen-like Buddhist gatha has a greater impact on Lao Tzu.

All the laws in the world lead to the same goal by different routes.

Zen Buddhism is originally the Mahayana Buddhism formed after the Buddhism was spread to the East and integrated with Confucianism and Taoism.

Therefore, in Zen thought, there are also some teachings of Taoism, including Renjiao.

The mind in Zen Buddhism is like a bright mirror, and there is a similarity between the same approach and the same effect.

Taishang carefully savored these two lines of Buddhist gatha in his heart, and even felt that his state of mind had improved a little bit.

When you have reached the realm of a saint, it is so difficult to go one step further.

It is difficult to make an inch of progress in practice for ten thousand years, but now it is only because of Duobao's two Buddhist verses that tens of thousands of years of work have been saved.

The Taishang could no longer treat Duobao as an ordinary ant, and finally saw it squarely for the first time.

He calculated carefully in his mind, and the next layout calculations had to be adjusted accordingly.

Originally, the Taishang had no hope of "turning Hu into a Buddha".

The foundation of Theravada Buddhism is too shallow, and it is inherently weaker than Mahayana Buddhism.

Even if you try your best to fight with the guide and quasi-promotion, you will inevitably fail.

The reason why he insisted on "turning Hu into a Buddha" was not to prevent Buddhism from flourishing.

Chen Duobao guessed right, he did have another purpose.

Therefore, in Lao Tzu's original calculation, Duo Bao would be sent away after preaching for a thousand years, and he would leave it alone after he established Hinayana Buddhism.

It was also within his expectation that the introduction and quasi-promotion would force Duobao to integrate into Mahayana Buddhism.

But now, it's different.

"With Mahayana Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism can be established."

Taishang spoke, unconsciously, there was a trace of seriousness in his tone.

Zen Buddhism is not weaker than the Buddhism of Jieyin and Zhunti. With an equal platform, we can have a good fight.

As long as the calculation is good, there is a real chance to stop the prosperity of Buddhism.

The "turning a tiger into a Buddha" has changed from a superficially stupid trick to a good strategy that kills two birds with one stone, and he doesn't have to pay the price of losing his reputation.

Chen Duobao carefully observed the Taishang with a serious expression, and smiled lightly in his heart.

Tai Shang's reaction was within his expectation.

If you want to complete the three main tasks at the same time under the eyes of the saints, you must divert their attention.

How to transfer?

Using Zen as a bargaining chip and blocking the great prosperity of Buddhism as a bait, he lured the Taishang to pay more attention to "turning Hu into a Buddha", and even personally deal with the introduction and quasi-promotion when necessary.

Only when Taishang enters the arena can he bring huge pressure to the reception and quasi-mention, so that they have no time to take care of their own small movements.

It is best to provoke these saints to fight, so as to get a chance to fish in troubled waters.

"Master, it is good to establish Mahayana Buddhism, but Duobao still has a doubt in his heart."

"If it's just Hinayana Buddhism, it won't threaten the foundation of Buddhism, and if you take into account your identity in receiving guidance and quasi-promotion, you probably won't take action against Duobao in person."

"So this time I just sent Maitreya to invite me."

"However, if Mahayana Buddhism is established, once it is successful, half of the luck of Buddhism can be divided, which is enough to overturn the great prosperity of Buddhism."

"A large number of people will inevitably be dispatched to meet and guide, and they will even take action in person if necessary. How can Duobao resist?"

While Chen Duobao was talking, he continued to observe the Empress Dowager's expression.

The bait has been enough, it's time to take the hook.

If you want me to betray the Jujiao out of my heart and risk my life for you at the risk of becoming an enemy of the saint, I must give you more benefits. It is too stingy to just preach for thousands of years.

It's a pity that Lao Tzu's expression has returned to his previous indifference, making it difficult for Chen Duobao to guess his inner thoughts.

"It's okay, you were there before, Daozu has ordered all saints to retreat in the dojo and not to appear in the Three Realms," Taishang said shaking his head.

"But this matter threatens the great prosperity of the Buddhist sect. Jieyin and Zhunti are extremely angry, and they may not remember the prohibition of Taoist ancestors."

"In addition, if the blue stone tablet left by Daozu no longer exists, the saint avatar can also be shot."

"Coupled with so many masters of Buddhism, Duobao is really hard to beat with two fists."

"Don't worry, if the blue stone tablet really disappears, the old Daoist will come forward to stop the Yin and Zhunti avatars."

"As for the other disciples of Buddhism, most of them are three thousand mortals who forcibly escaped from your teaching. How could they really be your enemies?"

"Most of the Buddhist disciples who really obey orders and guides have low aptitude and cultivation bases. Only a few disciples such as Medicine Master and Maitreya have the cultivation bases of quasi-sages, but none of them are your opponents."

Taishang said lightly, of course he understood what Duobao meant, but he didn't want to give Duobao too many benefits.

He knew very well that Duobao had the aptitude comparable to that of a saint, and he also embarked on the path of Pangu.

Although it will be difficult to break through in the future, for now, Duobao's combat effectiveness is well-deserved number one among the disciples of the Four Religions.

Even now, Duobao is still at the pinnacle of Daluo Jinxian, and Xuandu is troubled by the defeat of Lingshan, and has many evil thoughts.

A few days ago, he finally succeeded in beheading the evil corpse, and entered the middle stage of quasi-sage.

But in a real fight, Xuandu might still not be Duobao's opponent.

It is even more difficult for those disciples of Buddhism to be Duobao's opponent.

So powerful, how dare the Taishang give more benefits.

Chess pieces that are too powerful are inconvenient to manipulate.

"But Master, you can't stay in the west to protect me all the time. If you are negligent for a moment, you will not be able to rescue me. If Duobao dies, it will be fine."

"If you are like Kong Xuan, who is deceived by the guide and quasi-mention, and is forcibly converted, and then merges this Zen into Buddhism, then the luck of Buddhism will increase instead of decrease, which will miss the master's plan. Baowan's death cannot be absolved of the blame."

"Only when Duobao is strong and not afraid of being guided by the three corpses, can Zen really develop and stand up to Buddhism."

Chen Duobao deliberately emphasized the words "Zen Buddhism merged into Buddhism".

At the same time, he deliberately weighed the Kongtong seal in his hand a few times.

He is not afraid of Taishang getting angry, now that Taishang has no way to make a move, he can only be regarded as a toothless tiger.

Except for Xuandu, no one in the Human Sect has yet grown up.

If you can't suppress him by force, then you can only obediently follow his plan.

Now, he has brought Kongtong Yin and Mahayana Buddhism, giving the Supreme Master a chance to really prevent the great prosperity of Buddhism.

The fate of heaven and earth is one after another, and both explaining and cutting off religion are in danger. Only human religion has the strength to compete with Buddhism for the fate of heaven and earth.

If it is possible to prevent the great prosperity of Buddhism, then the luck of the human religion will definitely increase greatly.

Compared with the luck of heaven and earth, what is it to give him a little benefit?

Chen Duobao believes that the Taishang will make the right choice.
