The difference between Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism is manifested in many ways.

In essence, Mahayana Buddhism advocates the "universal purification of sentient beings," and the teachings they embrace are like a huge ship that can carry countless sentient beings from the world of birth and death to the world of nirvana and liberation, and thus attain Buddhahood.

Theravada Buddhism, on the other hand, regards attaining the attainment of "arhat" fruit as the highest goal of practice, i.e., biased towards self-transcendence and emptiness. In their opinion, even if they have not crossed the world, how can they cross the world?

In this comparison, does it highlight that Mahayana Buddhism is more profound and complete?

For this reason, Mahayana Buddhism has given Theravada Buddhism the title of "Hinayana Buddhism".

However, in reality, there is no superiority between the two, and perhaps Mahayana Buddhism should be more broad-minded in the theoretical realm, but it is also undeniable that the wisdom and mind of Hinayana Buddhism are undeniable.

"With such a young leader as the Xuan Micro Master, this year's Dao Discussion will be very exciting, and the poor monk is quite looking forward to it!" Pu Ji said to Xuan Wei.

Listening to the meaning of Puji's words, it seems that he will also participate in this seminar?

"As far as the poor Taoist knows, in the past few Taoist conferences, the senior monks of Lingchan Temple have impressed the audience with their exquisite Buddhism. It is a blessing for our juniors to have Master Puji participate in the discussion this time!" Xuan replied with a smile.

Xuan Wei's words are not touted, Puji's Buddhist attainments have been praised by the abbot of Lingchan Temple Huiyun more than ten years ago, and now after many years of retreat and meditation, Buddhism will become more and more exquisite.

Thinking that he also had a main quest about the Dao Society, Xuan Wei couldn't help but feel a little pressure.

This session of the Symposium is not easy!

"In this meeting, Lingchan Temple was led by poor monks. I came to the door today, firstly, to pay a visit to the lower mystical master, and secondly, to invite the view of heaven and earth to walk all the way. Puji spoke.

Xuan thought about it for a while, nodded and responded: "Being able to walk with the senior monks of Lingchan Temple can be described as a great opportunity for exchange and learning. ”

Anyway, I was going to Yanjing to participate in the Taoist meeting, and if I could exchange my experience with the monks of Puji and other Lingchan monasteries along the way, it might be beneficial to the future discussion.

"Amitabha, then we will gather on the shore of West Lake in the early morning of two days, what does Master Xuan Wei think?" asked Pu Ji.

"Two days later, isn't it a little too early?" Xuan Wei recalled the specific time of the next Dao meeting, slightly puzzled.

Pu Ji smiled slightly and explained: "Read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles." After reading the scriptures for a long time, it's time to walk more!"

Xuan Wei instantly understood what Puji meant, he was going to use this to sharpen the Dharma of the people in Lingchan Temple!

The walking in Puji's mouth does not mean to go all the way to Yanjing, but to take advantage of this opportunity to have more contact with the red world, so as to have the effect of experience.

In today's Buddhism, there is a rather distorted trend that Buddhism is becoming more and more theoretical, becoming a product of self-realization, and gradually detached from practice.

Take the ultimate goal of purifying sentient beings in Mahayana Buddhism, is this something that can be achieved by just retreating and participating in meditation? Lacking practice, even far away from the world, how can we popularize Buddhism among the people and transform the world?

Therefore, a master of Buddhism once said that today's Chinese Buddhism is the thought of Mahayana and the behavior of Hinayana behavior.

If you think about it, there is some truth to it.

The truth is the same, and Xuanwei believes that Daomen also has this problem.

"Poor Dao has been taught, and since this is the case, he will get up and set off in two days. Xuan Wei bowed very respectfully.

The battle between Buddhism and Taoism, after a certain degree, is a lose-lose situation, but if it is controlled within a certain range, it may be able to promote competition with each other.

"So good, the poor monk and the two monks will leave today. Puzi said.

Xuan Wei saw that it was getting late at the moment, and it was not suitable to keep the two of them down to talk, so he immediately sent each other off: "Supreme Heavenly Venerable, poor and send the two masters down the mountain." ”

After bidding farewell to Puji and Cheng Nian, Xuanwei returned to the banyan tree.

"Master, what kind of discussion meeting are you talking about?" asked Ming Ye curiously.

"Led by several associations, practitioners from all over the world gathered together to sit down and talk about the Tao. Xuanwei replied.

Tomorrow Night and the others were naturally not naïve enough to think that this was just a simple exchange meeting, and they were also aware of the hidden bends behind the meeting.

"Although the purpose of the Lundao Society is not just to communicate with each other in practice, this kind of learning opportunity is quite rare. Xuan Wei looked at the disciples and said.

Qinglian's eyes lit up, she stepped forward and grabbed Xuanwei's arm, and said extremely coquettishly: "Master, the disciple feels that he needs to take advantage of this opportunity to deepen his learning!"

On the other hand, isn't this also a trip?

"Master, I'm still quite familiar with Yanjing! It just so happens that the disciple can entertain you to my house as a guest by the way!" Ming Ye grabbed Xuanwei's other arm quite childishly and said obediently.

When Qinglian heard this, she was not happy, and pouted and said: "You just came back from Yanjing, don't toss around, obediently look at the Taoist temple, after all, the pilgrims need you to receive it!"

During the Taoist meeting, the Heaven and Earth Temple always had to leave people to receive pilgrims, and everyone went to Yanjing in one go, which was obviously unrealistic.

Realizing that he might really be the best person to stay, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed tomorrow night.

"Lord, I don't have much interest in the Taoist Society, so I just stayed in the Taoist Temple to help. Su Xin said.

Compared with going to Yanjing to listen to a Taoist meeting, Su Xin is more willing to stay in the kitchen of the Tiandiguan and take the time to cook, isn't it beautiful?

"Teacher Xuanwei, I have only been in the beginner for a short time, and I can't understand many advanced things, so I can stay instead of receiving pilgrims tomorrow night. Qiushui said very understandingly.

Ruoshui next to him pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Master, there are still courses in my school, and I really don't feel at ease when I leave my grandmother at home alone for so many days." ”

"It's okay, there will be other opportunities in the future. Xuan Wei patted Ruoshui's shoulder and replied softly.

Su Xin and Qiu Shui stayed at the Taoist temple, and Ruoshui came to help from time to time, although they were a little nervous, they were barely able to make ends meet.

Coupled with the banyan tree and Xiaoyu in charge, Xuanwei was not worried about what would go wrong with the Heaven and Earth Temple during his time when he went out.

And among the two people who are going to go together, tomorrow night is the path of enlightenment, and this kind of discussion will naturally have to be brought.

The problem lies in Qinglian!

Rao is Qinglian has become one with the lotus root's body and body, and at first glance there is no difference from a normal person.

However, there may be some senior masters at the Dao meeting, and Xuan Wei is not sure if they can't see Qinglian's situation.

Moreover, although Qinglian's strong resentment has been subdued, it is still no less than a hidden powder keg.

If Qinglian causes any trouble during the Dao Meeting, I'm afraid it will be very tricky.

Thinking about it this way, it is the safest choice not to bring Qinglian to the Taoist meeting this time.

"Well, this time, Mingye and Qinglian will go to Yanjing with me to participate in the Taoist meeting. Xuanwei clapped his hands and concluded.

As a master, Xuanwei really couldn't refuse Qinglian's request.

If Xuanwei proposed not to bring Qinglian, Qinglian would definitely not protest. can compare the heart to the heart, how lost should Qinglian be?

You must know that Qinglian is a ghost baby, and her negative emotions are stronger than normal people, once this matter is imprinted in her heart, it may be affected in the future!

"After receiving so many 'masters', you should also fulfill your obligations! No matter what happens, the poor road should be shouldered!" Xuan Wei thought secretly.

Looking at Ming Ye and Qinglian who were in the noise, as well as the people next to them, Xuanwei's eyes couldn't help but have a hint of softness.
