Zen Buddhism Revealed, Reformer or Rebel of Buddhism

As soon as Zhao Tan's news was posted on the Internet, it attracted the attention of many people concerned, whether it was a layman or a Buddhist researcher, but the monasteries were slightly slower to respond.

Although ordinary people don't pay much attention to this matter, for the above-mentioned people, it is tantamount to an earthquake of magnitude 8.

In addition to sorting out the content of Su Wen, the post put some controversial content on it, but I didn't make too many comments, because it was enough to just put those sorted out words on it. Even Lao Liu, although he has been a family scholar since his parents, he didn't dare to say much about this matter. It's really too involved, it's too wide, and he doesn't understand a lot of things.

But even so, Zhao Tan was already very satisfied. I just wanted to get some small news, but I didn't expect to get a big fish in the end.

"What Zen Buddhism, what the three refuges of self-nature, it's just nonsense. ”

"I think a lot of these things are very good, like the simultaneous development of agriculture and Zen, although it is contrary to Buddhism, but it is in line with the idea of self-sufficiency of the Chinese people. ”

"Self-sufficiency is a small-scale peasant mentality, what age is it now? But if a monk farms the land every day and practices it, it sounds very hard. ”

"It's the Vinaya sect that has the qualifications to revise the precepts, right? They even dare to change the precepts without permission, and they deserve to be called Buddhism?"

Many laymen on the Internet were first attracted by the headline, and thought that the media was talking nonsense again, but when they clicked in, many people were blown up and spoke one after another. After all, these things proposed by the Pure Heart Temple were too different from the knowledge they had received before, making it completely difficult for them to accept.

This difference in perception is more difficult to change than time and distance.

In addition to this, Vinaya was the first to react, and as Su Wen had expected.

The precepts are the foundation of Buddhism, and it is the foundation of the Vinaya, and now the Pure Heart Temple has established its own precepts, completely touching the core of the Vinaya. The seven sects of Buddhism are all taught, among which only the Vinaya sect is the most unique, and its practice is based on the precepts, and the precepts are also practiced by Buddhism. Now that the Pure Heart Temple has done this, it has affected the status of the Vinaya Sect, and it is even a threat to its fundamental core, how can it sit still?

"The precepts of Buddhism are interpreted by the Vinaya, and the precepts have been concluded after two thousand years of intensive study by the great monks of all dynasties. In the name of Zen Buddhism, this Pure Heart Temple interprets Buddhism in vain and sets private precepts, how is it different from evil?

His opinions are refuted, and he uses all his own cleverness on strange and bizarre rhetoric, and he casually uses his own low opinions to make nonsense about what has already been determined, and he has really gone into an evil way, and what he says is all heresy. ”

After hearing others relay the "Wuxiang Precepts" and "Zen Gate Qing Rules" established by Jingxin Temple, the lawyer of the Hojing Baiquan Temple (called a lawyer in Vinaya, and a Zen master in Zen Buddhism) immediately rebuked with a cold face, although there were not many words, but the words were extremely demeaning, and he was denounced as "clever", "unbridled words", and "has entered the evil path".

Although this was only said in the temple, it was immediately put on the Internet.

Everyone thought that as soon as these remarks of the Pure Heart Temple came out, they would definitely arouse strong opposition from other sects, but except for the rebuke of the Vinaya sect, the other sects did not react at all. Even Master Jing'an of Wuzhen Temple, who belittled Su Wen several times, did not say anything about this matter, which made many people wonder in their hearts and didn't know what was going on.

Could it be that these things that Zen Buddhism said are really reasonable? The other lay people did not know the specific reason, and for a while, there was not much condemnation on the Internet, except for the beginning. There are many people who are interested in this matter, but very few people have spoken.

The actual situation is known only to a few people, and it is not that they agree with the words of the Pure Heart Temple. In fact, many sects disagreed, but the remarks of the Pure Heart Temple made them see another point, so they all issued a ban on the temple and were not allowed to comment on the matter.

The status of the Vinaya is so transcendent that the precepts have always been interpreted by it, and even the ten precepts given to his disciples must be accompanied by the presence of a lawyer from the Vinaya. Similarly, there are also high-ranking people in other sects who feel that there are some areas that need to be changed, but they have not been able to make it.

This time, many sects of Zen Buddhism were dissatisfied with the outrageous remarks and private precepts, but they saw the possibility of shaking the status of the Vinaya sect, so they all banned this matter, preparing to see how things would develop in the future. If the conditions are sufficient, it is not impossible to even help the Pure Heart Temple.

So the current situation is both unexpected and reasonable. Su Wen saw that except for the strong hostility shown by the Vinaya Sect outside, the other sects were silent, thought about it for a while, and discussed it with Dao Yan again, and understood the problem.

At present, this situation is the best situation, and the pressure on the Pure Heart Temple is also the least, saving a lot of trouble.

In the midst of this calmness beyond most people's expectations, when neither the Pure Land Sect, the Wisdom Sect, the Huayan Sect, nor the Tiantai Sect spoke out, suddenly another temple spoke, and the influence was not small, in fact, at this time, ordinary temples would not participate too much, they were quietly paying attention to the development of the situation, and only the ancestral courts and several temples with the greatest influence would participate in it.

Shangye Temple, the Tantric Nyingma sect, which is often said to be the ancestral court of the Red Sect, the King of Danba Yeshe, is also one of the five great Dharma kings in the world, suddenly expressed support for the reform of Zen Buddhism, and said that the Buddhist precepts are a lot complicated and meaningless, even when the Buddha Nirvana said that many details can be cut off, although the specific content has not been said, but the cultivation of Buddha is based on the cultivation of body and mind, and the pure mind shall prevail.

He also expressed great interest in the idea of taking refuge in one's own nature and expressed great interest in the idea of taking refuge in one's own nature, which did not contradict the principles of Buddhism.

There are a lot of things that His Holiness Dampa Yeshe said, but in summary, he basically supports what Zen Buddhism does, supports the internal reform of Buddhism, and thinks that each sect can adjust according to its own situation. After all, most of the Buddhism preached back then came from India, and the Han and Tibetan regions were all different from India, and the times were changing, and some of the things at the beginning were not in line with the current development.

As soon as the remarks of King Dampa Yeshe were published, they immediately attracted the support of many Tantric believers, and the influence of Tantra was much greater than that of Vinaya in the secular world.

Ke Suwen smiled bitterly after hearing this, the situation was good, if it continued to develop according to the situation, the Pure Heart Temple's step would not cause much turmoil and backlash, at most it would cause hostility and rejection of the Vinaya, but at this point I had already prepared in my heart.

What King Dampa Yeshe said can be said by any sect, but if the Tantra says it, I am afraid that it will lead to some twists and turns.

The contradiction between Tantra and the other six sects is not a day or two, and he does not know what the impact will be after King Dampa Yeshe said this, but he just expressed his full support for Pure Heart Temple and Zen Buddhism, which is clearly to set up the Pure Heart Temple as a target and share the firepower for Tantra.

In the next two days, as Su Wen expected, after King Danba Yixifa spoke, the Pure Land Sect, the Tiantai Sect, the Wisdom Sect and the Huayan Sect refuted one after another. Even though they have other thoughts, their attitudes towards tantra are surprisingly consistent.

For a while, all the sects spoke one after another, and even many lay people also argued, and the Internet became chaotic. For several days, when you open the portal, you can see the remarks and figures of various sects of Buddhism.

And the Pure Heart Temple was also implicated a lot in this turmoil. (To be continued.) )
