In the following period of time, Su Wen and others were temporarily placed in Qixia Temple, talking about the Dharma and Taoism with Faxiang and others every day, communicating with each other, and both sides gained a lot of benefits, and confirmed their cultivation through each other's Buddhism.

The monks of Qixia Temple also deeply admired the cultivation of Su Wen and others. You must know that among Su Wen's group, Dao Yan and Hui Ling are both masters, and among them, Dao Yan is only one step away from the monks, but he can't take that step.

In the past few days, the people of Jingxin Temple and Qixia Temple have communicated with each other, and they have learned a lot about each other and get along very well.

Five days later, the other monks of the Three Treatises came here, and a total of more than ten monks arrived at Qixia Temple with their attendants. After a brief introduction to each other, these mages joined in the exchange with Su Wen and the others, arguing and discussing every day, and communicating with everyone for several days on end, but they kept the Dharma lecture in the back of their minds.

After all, in previous lives, Zen Buddhism was deeply associated with the Three Treatises. The practice of the Three Treatises is fundamentally Prajna. The "Arising of Emptiness" in the Three Treatises holds that all dharmas are born from the harmony of causes and conditions, and that we should not be attached to words and languages, and that we should "forget the fingers of the moon". This is exactly the same as Zen Buddhism's non-literal and clear mind.

And in the previous life, Qixia Temple was the ancestral court of the Three Treatises of Chinese Buddhism, known for promoting the Mahayana Madhyamaka doctrine, and also taught the Zen method of the north.

However, in this world, due to the decline of Zen Buddhism, Buddhism attaches more importance to righteousness and principles, and attaches more importance to teachings, and does not pay attention to meditation. During the period of exchange between Su Wen and others in Qixia Temple, they also passed on the Zen Zen method to the people of the Three Treatises Sect, which can be regarded as making up for this shortcoming.

A few days later, Su Wen once again opened the altar to give a lecture on the Dharma, and the participants were all monks from Qixia Monastery and other monks from the Three Treatises Sect, as well as the young disciples they brought with them, dressed in Dharma robes, and sat in the middle of the room to listen.

When he summoned the other monks here, he had already briefly mentioned a few things, including the revival of Zen Buddhism, and his intention to support the merger of Zen Buddhism into the Seven Sects, and in the future the Eight Sects of Buddhism. At the same time, the Buddhist Association was established to rectify Buddhism, and through the abbot of Zen Jingxin Temple, Su Wen, all kinds of miraculous means, the Dharma spread to all sentient beings, and magnified Buddhism.

Su Wen sat on the altar and looked at the people below, except for the disciples of Qixia Temple, the rest were all dojo masters. Although Fa Xiang didn't say anything to him, Su Wen already knew what Fa Xiang meant just by looking at the various dojo masters of the Three Treatises Sect who had come in these days.

An hour passed, and all the mages looked at Su Wen with strange colors in their eyes, some of them were red, and some of them were happy, and they all saluted Su Wen.

Although he already knew the reason when he came, he was also vague about the matter of asking questions about the Fa. When the Dharma is preached, when everyone enters their own Buddha nature, they are shocked in their hearts, and after being shocked, they quickly enter the concentration to feel the Dharma passed on by Su Wen, until they wake up from that state and then think back to what they see, think, and feel, and feel more and more incredible.

"Master Su Wen, do you need to rest now?" After the Dharma lecture, no one in the audience spoke for a while, especially the low-level disciples all looked at Su Wen in the field closely, their eyes full of respect. As a landlord, Fa Xiang looked around after he came to his senses and asked Su Wen.

Su Wen said softly, "It's better this time, but it's okay to talk." ”

The disciples withdrew. Fa Xiang first made a statement to tell all the attendant disciples to retreat, including Xinghui and Xingzang, and only many mages remained in the field.

"Congratulations to me Buddha. One of the following Dharma masters first praised the Tao, and everyone looked at the past as Master Hongyuan of Caotang Temple, who had been practicing diligently for forty-five years, and was now seventy years old, and was the most prestigious one among the Dharma masters who came this time.

The other monks looked at each other, and someone said, "As Master Hongyuan said, congratulations to my Buddha." Now that I understand the meaning of the abbot of the Dharma Prime Minister, I think it's okay to do so. "The sound was dry, like the rubbing of wood, somewhat eerie. Just as soon as they heard this voice, everyone in the audience knew who was speaking.

Master Xinkong, who first cultivated the Three Treatises, and then practiced the Sutra and Esoteric, was proficient in the two sects of cultivation, and although he was not well-known on the outside, he was a very famous figure inside the Buddhism.

The poor monk also felt that this was feasible. Another mage seconded the proposal.

"It's a great thing," the other mages nodded after thinking about it.

Seeing that everyone in the audience nodded after thinking about it, Su Wen felt a little happy in his heart, knowing that the Three Treatises Sect was almost tied to his chariot. At least in the matter of Zen Buddhism and the affairs of the Buddhist Association, the other party will fully support him.

The current situation is purely unexpected, and I didn't expect it to end up like this before I came to Qixia Temple. When you take it upon yourself to do things again, you are no longer alone.

Although the Three Treatises sect has declined, the Three Treatises sect is the earliest sect formed, and its teachings have a great influence on all sects of Buddhism. Moreover, the connections of many mages of the Three Treatises Sect over the years are also very convenient for their future actions.

Su Wen turned his gaze to Faxiang, and when he saw Faxiang, he also turned his gaze and nodded slightly, grateful in his heart. The reasons for the decline of the Three Treatises Sect are very complex, on the one hand, because there is no one to inherit the Three Treatises Sect, and after the Tang Dynasty, because of the prestige of Master Xuanzang, the entire Buddhism turned to the "only knowledge" doctrine, which is caused by various reasons.

Therefore, Buddhism is flourishing again, and the current decline of the Three Treatises will not change much, and the most beneficial will be Zen Buddhism and the Pure Land Sect, but the people of the Three Treatises Sect decided to fully support Suwen and Zen Buddhism just because they saw the opportunity of Buddhism's great prosperity, which makes people feel grateful and admired.

Su Wen also has his own considerations in his heart. The next step after the Buddhist Association is to establish a Buddhist academy, and the greatest strength of the Three Treatises is that all the Buddhist sects are influenced by the doctrine of the Three Treatises: the Tiantai sect's idea of "harmony of the three truths" is based on Nagarjuna's "Madhyamaka Ode", which states that "the dharma born of all causes, I say is emptiness, and it is also a pseudonym, and it is also the middle way"; the theory of "three non-natures" of the Enlightenment-only sect is established according to the theory of "no self-nature" of Madhyamaka; the Huayan sect's theory of "harmony of the Dharma realm" is based on the idea of "dependent arising emptiness" of the Three Treatises sect; and the Pure Land sect's " The "Self-Pure Land" is also based on the theory of "self-emptiness" of the Three Treatises, and the "clear mind-seeing" of Zen Buddhism and the Tantric theory of "becoming a Buddha in the body" are both based on the theory of "self-purity" of the Three Treatises.

Therefore, the Dharma Master of the Three Treatises is also the best candidate to establish a Buddhist school as a teacher in the future. On the one hand, it can cultivate talents for the various sects of Buddhism, and on the other hand, it also ensures the status of the Three Treatises in Buddhism in the future, as well as the inheritance of the Three Treatises.

"I don't know what Master Su Wen plans to do in the future?" asked Xiang Su again.

Su Wen thought for a while and said, "The poor monk has to go back to the temple first and deal with some things. After that, I went to Wuzhen Temple to resolve some misunderstandings about this sect in Wuzhen Temple. After that, he hoped to connect the various sects to form a Buddhist association. Then he explained his thoughts about the Buddhist Association and the Buddhist Academy to the Venerable Masters of the Three Treatises.

As soon as Su Wen's voice fell, there was a loud cry in the audience.

Master Hongyuan of Caotang Temple cried out: "In this way, he will be able to lose this skin in the future, and he will be able to worry about it." ”

Fa Xiang also said: "I waited for the past to look through the ancient books, look back on the past and the present, and see that my Three Treatises Sect is declining day by day, and it is inevitable that I will be terrified. Now there is a Su Wen Venerable Master's words, my Three Treatises Sect has been passed down endlessly, and I have nothing to worry about, and I am grateful to the Three Treatises Sect. ”

Many other mages also showed excited expressions, they used to be calm and calm people, but today their minds have been difficult to calm down. First of all, because Buddhism is expected to prosper, the miracle of Su Wen's teachings allows everyone to see the opportunity for prosperity. Everyone can see the Buddha nature when they listen to the lectures, and it is no longer invisible and untouchable in the past, and I don't know how many people will turn to Buddhism in the future and how many good beliefs will increase.

And now this passage has made everyone see the eternal existence of the Three Treatises Sect, although it is difficult to prosper for various reasons, but there is no longer any worry about decay, and the heart is extremely excited.

"If what Master Su Wen said is fulfilled, it should be a great merit. Thank you. The Heart-Empty Mage thanked him.

The poor monk thanked him in advance. Everyone thanked them in unison. (To be continued.) )
