Chapter 219 Buddha Fruit

   Miaoying Temple!

  Lin Ye had just become a disciple of the lay school, and once wandered into the temple, he saw Abbot Yinguang wandering around the temple accompanied by several big pilgrims.

In order to make these big pilgrims happy, Abbot Yinguang built a cabinet above the Buddha statue in the main hall, in which were the birth dates of these pilgrims' families. can also be blessed.

   Those pilgrims were very happy, and generously donated thousands of taels of silver each.

   After those pilgrims left, Lin Ye curiously asked the abbot, wouldn't the Buddha be angry if he did this?

   Staring at incense money all day, can you still become a Buddha?

   "The Buddha is angry, why is the Buddha angry? The incense money that the old monk got here, didn't he add gold clothes to the Buddha. The Buddha has benefited, so can he still be angry about such a trivial matter?"

   "Buddhas have 36,000 ways, and Buddhas have thousands of appearances. Everyone can become a Buddha. If they are all the same Buddha, where did the Buddha come from?"

   "There are Buddhas who sit on altars and look down on all living beings, and there are Buddhas who bow their heads to give to sentient beings, there are Buddhas who practice penance with one sutra, one lamp, and one wooden fish, and there are Buddhas who travel around the world to kill demons..."

   "You are a Buddha, and the Buddha is in your heart. If you want to become a Buddha, it is just a matter of one thought."

   "Abbot, if everyone can become a Buddha, then if I love to kill and practice sorcery, can I also become a Buddha?"

  "Nature is capable, but what you become is a different kind of Buddha."

   "Alternative Buddha, please ask the abbot to explain?"

  Abbot Yinguang led Lin Ye to the kitchen backyard of the temple, where there were several large tanks, some filled with water and some empty.

The abbot pointed to one of the empty water tanks and said: "If you compare my disciples of the Three Jewels to this water tank, then the Dharma you practice is to make the water in the tank overflow, and you will become a Buddha when the water is full. How can it be full?"

   “Someone pours water in or waits until it rains.”

  The abbot nodded, and walked inside again, and soon came to a canal, where there were some garbage dumped after cooking, and the whole canal was very muddy.

   "If you pour water from this canal, can you fill the water jar?"

   "This water..."

   "Just answer if you can."

"can."

   "That's it, no matter what kind of water, as long as it is water, it can fill this water tank, so please do your best to fill the water tank with water from this canal."

  Lin Ye: ...

  Ten minutes later, the water tank filled with muddy water was extremely conspicuous among other water tanks in the backyard.

   "Abbot, you compare a water tank with a Buddha. There is no comparison between the two. If you can become a Buddha in this way, who else will be merciful and who will always be with the ancient Buddha?"

   "Just keep reading."

  Abbot Yinguang smiled meaningfully, and walked into the backyard, followed by Lin Ye.

"Close the door."

  The door closed, and within a few minutes, the sound of monk's footsteps could be heard in the yard.

   "Who made this, how did you put the dirty water into the tank."

   "Dump it quickly, or we will be punished if the brother sees us."

The two monks hurriedly poured out the dirty water in the water tank. That’s not counting. They scooped water from other water tanks and poured it into the water tank to rinse it clean. Leave with a full water jar.

   "Do you understand?"

   Abbot Yinguang opened the door when the footsteps disappeared. Lin Ye looked at the water tank in the corner and nodded, "I understand."

   "Do you really understand?"

  Lin Ye: "...Please ask the abbot to clarify."

  Abbot Yinguang pointed to a few pine trees in the backyard. The two monks poured water on the roots of these pine trees. The roots absorb water, which can keep the ground clean as quickly as possible.

  "Many people think that one must be compassionate and help the world to become a Buddha? But in fact, there is no distinction between good and bad Buddha. You think it is good, but it may be bad for other races, and vice versa."

   "Like this turbid water, we hate it, but for those trees, the water in this tank is not stingy. Can you say that there is something wrong with this turbid water?"

  Lin Ye shook his head, no matter what kind of water it is, there is nothing wrong with it.

"You said whether bloodthirsty can become a Buddha. The slaughter of a village, a town or even a county is naturally an unforgivable crime for the human race, but for those beasts in the mountains and forests, it is a good person, because the disappearance of the human race means Then they have a new home and will not be hunted by hunters."

   "Abbot, according to what you said, no matter good or bad, as long as you practice Buddhism, you can become a Buddha."

   "You are wrong, the Buddha is the Buddha, the Dharma is the Dharma, the Buddha is just the power of the Buddha who simply cultivates, and the Dharma is the constraint on the power of the Buddha."

   "You can become a Buddha, but you are called an alternative Buddha."

   "What is the difference between the alternative Buddha and the normal Buddha?"

   "The tank of muddy water and the tank of clean water have the same weight, and the strength of the other kind of Buddha is also the same as that of the Buddha."

  When Lin Ye heard the abbot's words, he wanted to reply, "Abbot, you are wrong. In fact, it is different. The turbid water has a different density because it contains many impurities. The density is different, and the weight of the same volume is different."

  But in the end he gave up, not shaking this cleverness.

"But in the end, this tank of muddy water was poured out, while the clean water was left behind. The same goes for the other kind of Buddha. They don't practice Buddhism, and the Dharma is recognized by this world. The fate of the other kind of Buddha is also It is doomed, unless you can cultivate to the realm of breaking away from the heaven."

   "Abbot, Buddhists also believe in the way of heaven?"

  Lin Ye always thought that the way of heaven was taught by Taoist priests, but he didn't expect Buddhism to believe it too.

"Of course there is. The Buddha's way of heaven is actually the same as that of Taoism. The way of heaven controls everything in the world. In Buddhism, the way of heaven is the last of the six realms. When we Buddhism says that the Buddha jumps out of the six realms of reincarnation, it actually means transcending the last the way of heaven."

   Listening to Abbot Yinguang's explanation, how could Lin Ye have a saying that this was deliberately made by Buddhism.

  Buddhas and Bodhisattvas transcend the way of heaven, and are above the way of heaven, while Taoism is the biggest way of heaven, and gods and immortals live in the way of heaven. This is probably because Taoism is deliberately disgusting.

   Abbot Yinguang blinked his eyes a few times, and Lin Ye understood that it was indeed what he thought.

   Sure enough, the bald donkey is not so kind and indifferent to the world. If it really wants to be indifferent to the world, it is impossible for Buddhism to grow to this extent.

"The appearance of a different kind of Buddha, like this muddy water, was eventually thrown out by people, and the result was that Buddhism was misunderstood by the world, and finally, like that water tank, was put in a corner. After a long time, , in order to restore the reputation."

  …

  …

  Returning his thoughts, Lin Ye knew what path Chen Qian was taking, a path to becoming a different kind of Buddha.

  If he hadn't met himself, it would be possible for Chen Qian to succeed in a few hundred years, but now...

  Yu Tianjian!

  Lin Ye appeared with a long sword above his head. This was also the first time he had used Taoist supernatural powers to kill a Buddhist.

   A sword fell!

  Chen Qian didn't even have time to dodge, there was only the shadow of the sword in his eyes, and he fell to the ground the next moment.

   "It's just... over?"

   Wei Yang looked at this scene in disbelief. He thought that Consultant Lin would have to fight the prefect for a long time, and it was even very likely that Consultant Lin would still be at a disadvantage.

   After all, this is from the Han Dynasty.

   Not to mention whether you have practiced or not, just a ghost staying in the world for thousands of years, and doing nothing is still a thousand-year-old ghost.

  Thousand-year old ghost, is it so easy to deal with?

   "The way he walks is different from that of ghosts, and he cannot cultivate by absorbing Yin Qi."

  Chen Qian chose to become a Buddha in another way, so he can no longer follow the path of ghost cultivation.

   "Also, this matter is not over yet."

   "It's not over, isn't this person dead?"

  Looking at Chen Qian's mummified corpse that fell on the ground and had been split in half, Wei Yang couldn't imagine that he could still be alive like this?

  Lin Ye didn't answer Chen Qian's question. When he asked Abbot Yinguang this question, the abbot replied with one sentence.

   "It's not so easy to cultivate another kind of Buddha, you must have a guide."

   "What quote?"

   "Buddha fruit."

   "Buddha fruit? Something like a godhead?"

   "What is the Godhead?"

  Facing the abbot's question, Lin Ye gave a brief explanation.

   "Amitabha, the term "Godhead" is really wonderful, and the meaning is roughly the same."

   "Abbot, this Buddha fruit is only available to Buddhas. How could monks have it? Buddhas have escaped the six realms, and they are immortal. Who can get Buddha fruit?"

  Lin Ye thinks that either Buddhism is exaggerated too much, and the Buddha is not really immortal. Otherwise, who can get the Buddha fruit, the Buddha can't take out the Buddha fruit himself.

   "Amitabha, the disciples of the Three Jewels do not talk about Buddha."

  Abbot Yinguang blinked at Lin Ye again, and did not continue the topic.

  Lin Ye: ...

  He understood a little bit, the abbot eats this bowl of rice, so he can't ruin his own pot.

  Chen Qian wants to cultivate a different kind of Buddha, so he must have Buddhahood.

  On the ground of the main hall, Chen Qian's shriveled body that had been split in half suddenly emitted a golden light.

   "Exit the temple!"

  Lin Ye's voice made Wei Yang stunned for a moment, but seeing Lin Ye's serious expression, Wei Yang didn't ask any questions, and ran out of the hall very decisively.

  He knew that he couldn't help Consultant Lin. Since Consultant Lin asked him to go, he should go at a high speed so as not to get off the hind legs of Consultant Lin.

  The moment Wei Yang ran out of the temple, Chen Qian's body in the main hall was completely shrouded in golden light, so much so that Lin Ye couldn't even see Chen Qian's body shrouded in golden light.

   "If you can't break it, you can't stand it. Speaking of it, I should thank you, Amitabha!"

  In the golden light, Chen Qian's voice came out, which made Lin Ye's body tremble, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

  Buddha sound!

  The golden light faded, and Chen Qian's figure appeared.

  At this moment, Chen Qian was surrounded by the light of Buddha behind him. He was wearing cassock, and there was a third eye between his brows, and the golden light was emitted from the third eye.

  The real light of Buddha.

   "Looking at the cause and effect of you making this Buddha the right Buddha, I will grant you a good luck and become the guardian of this Buddha."

  Chen Qian's voice was loud, with some indescribable power, Lin Ye's expression became confused, and a faint Buddha's light appeared on his body.

   Convert!

  The supernatural powers of Buddha.

  Buddhism has supernatural powers called refuge, which can enlighten all living beings, so that all living beings can understand the true meaning of Buddhism, and then take refuge in my Buddha.

   "What conversion, in your words, is brainwashing, and it's still forced brainwashing."

  In Qingfengguan, when Lin Ye was discussing Buddhism with the old Taoist, the old Taoist once cursed in disdain.

  The mounts of those Bodhisattvas were forcibly brainwashed in this way.

  With the intensification of the Buddha's light, the confused expression on Lin Ye's face gradually became clear, but this kind of clarity was not the recovery of his sanity, but the expression of being completely brainwashed.

  The Buddha's light kept moving up, and finally formed a halo that converged on top of Lin Ye's head, and slowly fell towards Lin Ye's head.

   The halo was about to fall on Lin Ye's head.

  A black lotus platform appeared, and a standing Buddha on the lotus platform slapped the halo directly. The halo shook a few times, but it did not leave Lin Ye's head.

   "You are also a disciple of Buddhism, Amitabha, that Buddha wants to accept you as a guardian."

  Chen Qian's voice was so excited, and the golden halo became thicker again, and this time it went directly to the top of the standing Buddha.

  Zhan Buddha waved his hand several times but failed to blow away the halo, on the contrary, the halo was getting closer and closer.

   "Amitabha, are you still obsessed with obsessions, don't wake up quickly!"

  Chen Qian uttered the Buddha's voice again, like a blow to the head, there was such a moment of slowness in the standing Buddha's body, and it was this moment of slowness that made the halo fall on the top of his head.

  Chen Qian had a compassionate smile on his face.

   It's just that his smile froze quickly.

  Zhan Buddha, whose head was covered by the halo, suddenly became smaller and turned into a villain, and he broke free from the halo.

  Lin Ye's soul appeared.

   This was the first time Lin Ye's soul stood on the lotus platform. In the past, every time Lin Ye's soul appeared, the standing Buddha and the lotus platform would disappear, and Lin Ye's soul would disappear when the standing Buddha appeared.

   This is the first time that the two have merged.

Lin Ye's primordial spirit jumped up directly from the lotus platform, grabbed the halo, and the halo bloomed with Buddha light, trying to break free, but the lotus flower platform floated up above the halo, and the black word "Mu Yi" came out of it. The bottom of the lotus platform fell and hit the halo, and the halo couldn't move like a heavy object.

   "Buddha, Taoism, ghost... Amitabha, you are too distracted, and I will let you escape from the sea of ​​suffering."

  Chen Qian's expression was very excited, and his hands began to form the Buddha seal, but he didn't notice that behind him, a standing Buddha figure appeared in the golden light.

Snapped!

Standing like a big bidou patted Chen Qian's head, this big bidou patted Chen Qian and fell forward, the most important thing was the third eye on Chen Qian's forehead, because of this stagger, It fell out of it.

  The golden eye fell out, and Chen Qian immediately reached out to catch it, but someone was a step faster than him.

  The standing Buddha's hand holds this golden eye.

"give me back!"

  Chen Qian roared angrily. Unfortunately, he lost his golden eyes, and his body shriveled quickly, but in just a few seconds, he turned into a mummified corpse and fell to the ground.

  The golden halo above Lin Ye's head also dissipated at the same time, and the standing Buddha returned to the lotus platform again, and the next moment he directly stuffed the golden eye into his forehead.
