After bidding farewell to Sun Wukong early the next morning, Tutu decided to visit the land and water conference.

The scene of the water and land conference was bustling with many onlookers, and now all the merchants along the street and in addition to the guards guarding the city gate, almost the entire people of Chang'an City have gathered in the cluster.

This is the last day of the waterway conference, and as long as it can stand out from the monks, it will be the ironclad presiding over the waterway and land conference!

The rabbit was holding the sugar gourd he had just bought, and he bit off the first hawthorn with a sigh, and looked at Xuanzang, who was a treasure with a face, sitting cross-legged on the stage and presiding over the White Horse Temple.

"The old monk asked, when the Buddha was in Lingshan, the Buddhas asked the Dharma. The Buddha just picked up a flower and showed it. "As the most prestigious master in the entire Chang'an City, Dao Xuan, the presiding officer of the White Horse Temple, hit the nail on the head and threw out his own questions.

Xuanzang folded his hands and bowed to Daoxuan, expressing his respect for Daoxuan, and said: "Amitabha, a flower and a world, a tree and a floating life, a grass and a hall, a leaf as it comes, a sand and a bliss, a pure land on one side, a smile and a dust, a thought and a quiet." It's all a state of mind. If there is nothing in the heart, you can spend a world, a grass and a plant. ”

"Amitabha, Master Xuanzang's comprehension is so high, the old monk is ashamed of himself. Daoxuan presided over an epiphany, he actually asked this question to embarrass Xuanzang, but he didn't expect it to fulfill Xuanzang and even more himself.

"Master, I would like to ask, what do you think of kneeling Buddha?"

A voice came from the crowd, and everyone in the audience looked back to see the origin of the sound, and finally all eyes fell on a beggar at the back.

This is a degraded old beggar who even has a mutilated left leg and right hand. Carrying a cane and a tattered coat, he struggled to move forward from behind the crowd.

"The philosophy of the Buddha realm is to teach people to be good and to understand reason. Not to mention, people who believe in Buddhism will more or less abide by the ten precepts of the Buddha realm in their behavior. In this way, if the people of the world can be good, what if they kneel? What if they don't kneel?" Xuanzang calmly replied to the old beggar and made a Buddhist salute to him.

The old beggar walked up to Xuanzang and asked, "Can I believe in Buddhism and let me be full?"

"No, you can't. ”

"Will that make me able-bodied?"

"No, you can't. ”

"Then what's the use of me believing in this Buddha?"

Xuanzang explained to the old beggar: "Believing in Buddhism can make people good, increase wisdom, increase good fortune, and be happy from suffering." At the same time, the Lotus Sutra says: "The language of governance, the knowledge of the world, and so on, are all in accordance with the Dharma." The harmony of the Dharma does not conflict with your life, but it can be mutually reinforcing, and this is also the value of the Dharma. ”

"All of yours is the Dharma. And the real Mahayana Dharma, you don't have the understanding. Yours are all self-discipline, and Mahayana Buddhism is not only self-discipline, but also self-discipline. The old beggar shook his head, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"May the Venerable Master teach his disciples. Xuanzang's eyes lit up, he has been pursuing a way to save the world! Because relying on his own efforts, how many believers give up because of insufficient concentration.

The old beggar took off his cane and coat, "If you are willing to pay seven thousand taels of silver for my robe and staff, I will tell you." ”

As soon as his voice fell, the onlookers began to whisper and point at the old beggar.

"Wow, this is a silver grab!?"

"A wooden stick and a torn coat dare to be a robe and a staff?

"Master Xuanzang, don't be deceived by him!"

......

The people's various discussions turned the originally quiet festival scene into a vegetable market!
