Chapter Sixty-Nine: Verdant Bamboo, All of which are Dharma Bodies

The merciless debate on Buddha-nature is the most important debate in Buddhism after the prevalence of Mahayana Buddhism. In comparison, what sentient beings are affectionate and ruthless, and what cannot become a Buddha once explained, is simply a pediatric thing.

In view of the limitations of the times, Zhu Daoan, with supreme wisdom and fearless courage, came out of the contradictory scriptures of the "Great Muddy Sutra" and issued the argument that "one elaboration can become a Buddha", and in his understanding, the Buddha nature has come to the end of the road.

Therefore, when Xu You put aside the sentient beings and instead raised the question of whether the ruthless beings have Buddha nature, Zhu Daoan only felt a buzz in his ears, and the world around him was rapidly gone, and the soul was nowhere to be found. After a while, he came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "If there is sentient beings with awareness, they can tolerate Buddha nature; Ruthless and unaware, where does the Buddha nature come from? ”

Zhu Daoan's words represent the thoughts of everyone present, ruthless things, such as walls and stones, if they can also become Buddhas, isn't that hysteria?

Xu You laughed loudly, in a rebellious manner, drew the sword out of its sheath, stabbed it into the wooden platform, and said, "Sitting, does this wood know the pain?" ”

"Woody is ruthless, so I don't know pain!"

"The Diamond Sutra has clouds: all sentient beings and the like, if viviparous, oviparous, wet, incarnated, if colored, if colorless, if there is thought, if there is no thought, if there is no thought, if there is no thought, if there is no thought. I have caused it to perish in nirvana. Xu You said word for word: "Please sit down and teach me, what is nothing?" ”

"This ......"

Xu You didn't wait for him to think about it, and said, "Why don't I answer for the seat." The Diamond Sutra divides sentient beings into four beings and ten categories, and the eighth is non-thinking. What is non-thinking? From the cause of the world, dull reincarnation, ignorance upside down; Harmony stubbornly became eighty-four thousand withered thoughts. If so, there is no desire to circulate the land in the south of the country, and the spirit is turned into civil engineering and stone, and its kind is congested. These earth, wood, gold and stone are transformed by people from the outside world after their thoughts are withered, so they are called thoughtless. For example, the fossil of the outer path called Zapira, just like that. ”

Zhu Dao'an's face was full of surprise, he raised his head in astonishment, and said, "Where is this Diamond Sutra, why have I never heard of it?" ”

"The national teacher of the Northern Dynasty once said: King Kong is difficult to break the sentence and gather, and all saints cannot enter. The meaning of this scripture is the most difficult and profound, the crown of all scriptures, only I know, there are seven different kinds of scriptures in the north and south of the "Diamond Sutra" in the world, I interpret, is the hermit monk translated. Xu You smiled, his eyes were as cold as winter snow, and said, "Take a seat, what do you think of the solution?" ”

Xu You is clearly bullying people, he uses the meaning of the "Lengyan Sutra" that appeared hundreds of years later to interpret the thoughtless beings of the "Diamond Sutra", and Zhu Daoan, who is still choked, has nothing to say, is speechless, and cannot hold himself.

There are scriptures and righteousness, there are names and surnames, the logic is smooth, and the harmony is unhindered, what can Zhu Daoan say? He knew that he had fallen into Xu You's trap, sweat dripped, and the monk's robe on his back was also printed with traces of water under the sun, and he said helplessly: "The solution is wonderful!" ”

"Since the earth, wood, gold and stone can be the ...... of the world's extinction" Xu You pulled out the magic sword, returned the sword into the sheath, stared at Zhu Dao'an, and said: "Isn't that exactly 'ruthless and sexual, grass and trees become Buddhas?'" ’”

Following the temptation, the layers of ambushes were set up, and finally threw out the biggest killer weapon of this argument, that is, ruthlessness and sexuality, and the plants and trees became Buddhas!

Plants and trees are sexless, which is the opposite of the Buddha nature of the mind. In other words, in the history of Buddhism, all the interpretations of Buddha nature in terms of the nature of gods, minds, and even enlightenment contain the idea of ruthlessness and sexlessness while arguing that there are sentient beings.

Since the establishment of Shakyamuni's teachings, from the Buddha having Buddha nature to the Buddha nature of sentient beings, I don't know how much wisdom and painstaking efforts of the sages and great virtues have been spent to make the theoretical height of Buddhism change from self-treatment to sentient beings.

However, what Xu You said today only used eight words: "ruthless and sexual, grass and trees become Buddhas", which directly spanned countless eons and raised the Buddha's principles countless times.

Erroneous remarks that transcend the times are a joke;

What is the correct speech that transcends the times?

It's a foreign way! It's a heretical opinion!

Because he has completely denied the foundation of Buddhism for thousands of years, if this is not an evil view, what is a wrong view? If this is not an outer way, what is an outer way?

Not only was Zhu Daoan shocked on the spot, but the five hundred monks, the surnamed gate valves, the nobles and celebrities, and the onlookers under the Lianhua stage were all shocked by Xu You's words, and they were dumbfounded.

The wind is blowing!

Whirring!

Zhang Zihua coughed dryly and said, "Zhu Shang, do you have any arguments?" "He is the host, if Zhu Daoan doesn't say anything, today's debate, the winner will be divided.

Zhu Daoan got up suddenly, King Kong looked angrily, pointed at Xu You, and said sharply: "Enlightening Buddha nature is only limited to sentient beings." If you are allowed to become a Buddha ruthlessly, then you will be able to cultivate the cause, and if you are ruthless, you will be ruthless, and you will have the same evil view. ”

Xu Youan sat still and said leisurely: "Sure enough, the Tao is different, that is, it is an evil opinion!" Did you ever think that you could become a Buddha by expounding it a little earlier, but in the hearts of many people, it is also an evil view! ”

Attacking the shield of the son with the spear of the son is the highest level of sophistry, and it is also one of the extremely lethal means in the debate.

"That's ...... different"

"What's the difference then!"

The wind is getting stronger!

Clothes fluttering!

Xu You stood up and said in a loud voice: "Husband, if one person obtains it, the Tao will not be exhausted." If all receive it, the way will be poor. And if each one gets it, then the word is numbered. If you get it in total, the convenience is empty. If you practice it, it is not true. The Tao is self-existent, surpassing all sentient and ruthless things. In this case, the Tao is in you and me, and the Tao is also in the earth, and there is affection in the Tao, and ruthlessness should also be in harmony with the Tao. Therefore, if you are affectionate, you can become a Buddha, and you can become a Buddha if you are ruthless! ”

This time, the explanation of Buddhism from metaphysics and Taoism is better than the previous interpretation of Buddhism with Buddhism, which makes people suddenly remember that this is not the debate of two great masters of Buddhism, but the balance of the Tao of the Heavenly Master and the Sect of Ben Wuzong.

Zhu Daoan took a deep breath, pinched the back of his hand with the fingertips hidden in the monk's robe, temporarily stabilized his position, pointed to the hundred-year-old giant pine in front of the main hall in the distance, and said, "According to what the real person said, can the pine tree have Buddha nature?" ”

Xu You secretly shouted a thumbs up, Zhu Daoan deserves to be a little expert in debate, he was forced to such a point by himself, and he understood in an instant, and he wanted to avoid the real and open up a second battlefield.

How can you do what you want?

"Buddha nature!" Xu You said categorically.

"When will you become a Buddha?" There was already a smile in Zhu Daoan's eyes, his question was very sharp, if Xu You couldn't answer, or the answer was not good, he could use this to fight back and try to recover the disadvantage.

Xu You raised his eyebrows and said, "Wait for the void to land!" ”

Zhu Daoan's smile froze, and he didn't give up, and asked, "When can the void land?" ”

"Wait for the pine tree to become a Buddha!"

Zhu Daoan suddenly realized that he had broken into a dead end again.

Xu You used sophistry to sophistry, and instantly strangled Zhu Daoan's counterattack in the cradle. At this moment, a yellow flower blew from the bank of the Ruoye River and landed right on his shoulder. With flowers in his hand, he looked at the swaying bamboo forest in the distance, and said with a slight smile: "The verdant bamboo is full of Dharma bodies; Lush yellow flowers, nothing more than general. Zhu Daoan, aren't you still enlightened? ”

With the French uniform on his body, the magic sword on his side, the yellow flower in his hand, and the smile on his face, it is in stark contrast to Zhu Daoan, who is angry, sweating, and out of place.

The wind is tighter!

Like fire!

Zhu Daoan's forehead sweat fell like rain, and the sound of ticking fell on the lotus platform, like a 10,000-pound hammer hitting the drum surface. Knock, knock, knock, everyone felt that their blood was flushed, and they couldn't help but stretch their necks on tiptoe, wanting to see how Zhu Daoan answered.

Enlightened? Enlightened?

Realize...... Is it so?

Zhu Dao'an bit his lip tightly, the smell of blood broke away the obstacle that filled his head, his eyes regained a little clarity, his throat became a little hoarse for some reason, and said: "The Dharma body has no image, it should be formed by green bamboo; If you are ignorant and appear to the yellow flower, it does not mean that the yellow flower and the bamboo are the Dharma body of the Buddha. If the yellow flower is like this, it is the same as ruthlessness; If the green bamboo is the Dharma body, the Dharma body is the same as the grass and trees. For example, if a person eats bamboo shoots, is it the Dharmakaya? From this, it can be seen that if you become a Buddha ruthlessly, the living should be better than dead, and the dead dog should be better than the human! ”

Xu You shook his head and sighed, gently put the yellow flower on the ground, and said: "My Daozhu Throne Buddhism is exquisite, and I have won more than 30 victories in Yangzhou, what kind of person should I be?" Today, I realized that it is better to meet than to be famous, and it is just a false appearance. Think of the Buddha's body filling the Dharma Realm and appearing in front of all sentient beings. It is not thoughtful to go with the fate, and often in this Bodhi seat. If Cuizhu does not go out of the law realm, is it illegal to be identified? There is also a "Prajna Sutra" cloud, the color is boundless, the Prajna is also boundless, and the yellow flower is neither overcolored, is it not Prajna? You don't know why, you have been reading the Bible for decades, but it's just a knock on the fishman! ”

Zhu Daoan is in a daze, and he can't say a word again!

Zhang Zihua almost couldn't bear to look at his face, for the sake of fairness, he asked Zhu Daoan again, three times in a row, but he didn't hear an echo, and immediately announced: Today's Mingfa Temple is about balance, and the Heavenly Master Dao Yangzhou governs Qiantang Guan Zhengsheng, Lin Tongsheng!

"Did you really win?"

"I can't believe ......"

"Who bet just now, take off your pants if you lose, don't run!"

The sentient beings in the audience were disturbed, and they were all fascinated by today's wonderful arguments. Xu You looked around on the stage, and he couldn't hide his pride. Gu Yun secretly said in his heart: "This person's analysis of the Dao Law and the Scriptures is close to the realm of heaven and man, but his character and demeanor are far inferior to the Dao Law. He didn't know that Xu You deliberately portrayed Lin Tong as such a person whose strengths and weaknesses were exposed, so that he could hide the true identity under the mask.

Then, Xu You demonstrated to Gu Yun, what is the real character without a lower limit, he walked up to Zhu Dao'an, and said: "I have written a new book in recent years, and I have never shown it, there are ten volumes, and now there is only one volume on my body." If you don't dislike it, can you watch it now and evaluate it one or two? ”

At the end of the debate, it is true that some people have become friends, but it is very rare that some people have just finished the debate and give their opponents a book written by themselves. After all, Zhu Daoan is a character, failure is a foregone conclusion, demeanor is still needed, and he also wants to understand his thoughts from the other party's writings, so he doesn't dare to say it, and respectfully accepts a volume of scriptures handed over by Xu You with both hands.

Smooth as silk, with a faint ink fragrance, it should have just been integrated!

Carefully open the title page, and a line of words comes into view:

Shi Taishang Laojun sent the fetus as a human being...... At that time, the old gentleman must have white hair. You can do it. Step Lotus. Even nine. Left finger to the sky. Right finger to the ground. And the teller said. Heaven and earth. Overweening.

……

I make Yin happy. Take advantage of the moon spirit. In the middle of the Tianzhu Kingdom, it was born in the shadow of the mouth of the white lady. The number is Siddha. The crown prince's throne. Into the mountains to cultivate. Becoming the supreme way. The number is the Buddha. At the time of King Xiang. His age is secondary. I also return to China. Enlighten the Celestial ......

Xu You quietly took three steps back.

Zhu Daoan's face turned pale, and then he turned red like red iron, and pointed at Xu You with a trembling hand, wanting to speak, but before he could speak, he spit out a mouthful of blood from the sky, and his body fell backwards, fainting to death on the lotus platform!
