Chapter 86

It turns out that the Dharma can indeed make people cultivate the Tao, and it is really possible to go to the Western Elysium, and from then on they can get rid of the six reincarnations, and forever live away from the happy and carefree life of their wishes, so everyone actively signed up to join, and all hope to rush to Lingshan to meet the Buddha and want to get further study. I hope that I can also be like Guanyin Bodhisattva, and cultivate to become a Buddha one day earlier. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as the number of people was counted, I was really ecstatic and excited that year, the original number of applicants had already exceeded my budget, plus the original 50,000, and now it has exceeded 80,000, so that year I selected some people who still have wives and children at home who are temporarily inseparable, and kept them, and explained to them clearly that in fact, converting to Buddhism, practicing at home and practicing in monasteries, and rushing to Lingshan to practice have the same effect, as long as you are sincere. I took 80,000 people and prepared to set off, of course, this Putuo Mountain base could not be left unattended, so I ordered the Na'an period to be responsible for management.

This Mr. Anji, it is said that it is not simple, Langya Fu Township also, often sell medicine on the seaside, sometimes also go to the Buddha Mountain to collect medicine, coincided with the Guanyin Bodhisattva three times to preach, each time to catch up, after listening to the deep feelings, a moment of epiphany, so I joined.

Because of his peculiar appearance, and he was a down-and-out scholar who had failed many times, he made a poem for him on a whim that year to encourage him, and the poem said: "The people who are born in the period of peace should be effective, and the momentum is like a rainbow and a ghost." The sword sleeve hides the fear of the tiger, and the sunset is in the window. Xinglai Keyouqiao Street wine, did not report the night sound of the national box. It seems that this ultimate letter is ambitious, and it is worthy of the name of Han Qing. ”

It can be seen that this Ansheng is still a mature talent.

Although everyone still has some nostalgia for the homeland, but think that the original will be the Lingshan Holy Land, all of them are full of joy, so all the way is laughter, in front of the responsible for guiding the way is naturally the Saribuddha and the guide of the Taoist, in the middle of the patrol divided into two groups, one is the Duobao Dao and the Fuxian Zhenren, and a group of Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun and fear of the grandson, that year and the burning lamp Taoist is responsible for pressing the formation in the back, I heard the burning lamp Taoist sigh on the year: "Although the time I waited for was not long, but it also made me deeply insightful, That is, the Buddhism we believe in now is indeed very profound, and it is indeed more profound than the Taoism that we used to worship. ”

Although I was also exposed to Lao Tzu Li Er's Taoist doctrine that year, it is impossible to say that it is impossible to understand, just like the current Buddhism, it is just fun to think that there are many people, in fact, I didn't think about anything else, and now I heard the Taoist people who lit the lamp say this, and couldn't help asking: "Then can you tell me what is the difference between Taoism and Buddhism?" ”

"With my current cultivation, I can only understand three points, (1) the attitude towards life and death, and the goal pursued by Buddhism is "Nirvana", which is to get rid of the cycle of life and death. According to Buddhism, life is suffering. Life is suffering, death is suffering. And this kind of suffering has no end, it is in a cycle of life and death that goes on and on, and there is no end. Only by attaining nirvana can we get out of the cycle of birth and death. So how do you achieve nirvana? That is, people should be "enlightened". Buddha, enlightenment. In the final analysis, it is the realization that life is suffering. Buddhism says that when you truly realize that life is suffering, you become "enlightened." This is the core idea of Buddhism. Taoism has a positive, positive attitude towards life in general. This is the biggest difference between Taoism and Buddhism and even other religions.

(2) The biggest difference between Taoism and Buddhism is that "the Tao says this life, and the Buddha says the next life". The Buddha said that in the next life, he advises the world to be patient, the so-called sins in this life, repay in the next life, this life is miserable, and may not suffer again in the next life, simply put, its purpose is to pin hope on the next life. Taoism is completely different, the first step to the success of the so-called cultivation is immortality, Taoism pays attention to this life, and faith believes in eternal life, and the things of the next life are said in the next life, anyway, this life will be immortal.

(3) The basic difference is that Taoism advocates taking life as the truth, pursuing longevity and health preservation, and becoming an immortal in the body. Taoism believes that human life is composed of vitality, and the body is the dwelling of the spirit, and in order to live forever, it is necessary to cultivate both form and spirit, that is, there is the work of "internal cultivation" and "external cultivation". In contrast to Taoism, Buddhism advocates "non-existence" and believes that reality is a sea of suffering for everything. People are powerless against reality, so they can only endure it. To endure, one must give up all kinds of desires, put one's hopes in the next life, and pursue the "sea of suffering" beyond the cycle of birth and death and enter Nirvana (the blissful world without suffering). It can be seen that Taoism advocates the pursuit of real life, while Buddhism advocates abandoning the pursuit of real materials and focusing on spiritual practice and yearning for the afterlife. Buddhism with its compassion for the people, abandon the doctrine of evil and goodness, the law of reincarnation of cause and effect is still admirable, but also the vitality of Buddhism, compared with other sects, Buddhism is less barbaric exclusivity, more birth. Buddhism is more like a delicate and delicate lotus flower. ”

"Amazing, really powerful, I think you have surpassed the realm of the Buddha, and you will be the ancient Buddha in the future." It's no wonder that year's heartfelt praise, because that year didn't understand what this lantern Taoist was talking about, anyway, it seems that it is Taoist cultivation that can get benefits in this life, and Buddhism is useless in this life.

Since Taoism can make people benefit in this life and this life, then Buddhism can also be, and those who believe in Buddhism must also be able to get good results in this life and this life, and some Confucian ideas are also good, especially those ideas such as benevolence and love are very good, and we will integrate them all into it in the future to form a Central Plains-style Buddhism." That year, he said a little ambitiously.

"It's good, but let's ask the Buddha's meaning first, don't make the Buddha unhappy before we arrive." The lantern burner said cautiously.

"What are you talking about, talking so happily." The scared grandson ran over shouting.

"Ao, I'm in Kuaran, the Lantern Daoist is knowledgeable and has unique insights, guess what kind of title the Buddha will give him when he arrives at Lingshan this time." After saying that, you made a grimace at the lantern man.

There is a saying in Buddhism that illness comes from the mouth and trouble comes from the mouth, and don't talk about right and wrong behind the backs of others, so the person who burns the lamp immediately understands and laughs without answering.

"So what title do you think the Buddha will give him?" The fear of leaving his grandson seems to have nothing to say.

"I think it's more appropriate to call him an ancient Buddha, you see he has a lot of eyebrows and beard, and it's white and shiny." said with a smile that year, as if he was a little proud.

"Then what about me, what title will the Buddha give me, you can also guess."
