Chapter 126: Discussing the Dharma
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please advise!"
Now Xuanzang is on the same page as Li Chengqian, without him, they are only discussing Buddhism, not using force to solve the problem like a martial arts student.
What they are more interested in is their understanding of the Dharma and their understanding of life.
Li Chengqian was not afraid at all, on the contrary, he was very excited.
You must know that he has endless sentences in his mind, and he is quick to think, and he is not afraid of Xuanzang at all.
He said politely:
"Master Xuanzang, please ask for a question!"
At this time, everyone's eyes focused on the two of them.
Li Chengqian's strength, they can be regarded as having seen it, but it is only strong in terms of literary talent.
Even if there is a high monk to help him, of course, this high monk is also a person he made up and no longer exists.
In what people think, how can it be possible to understand the Dharma in just a few days?
Although he has not seen Buddhism, but among the talents, there are some philosophies related to Buddhism, just saying these are enough to make Xuanzang feel strong and convince him, is it not a matter of minutes?
Pei Ju said: "The Dharma is profound, and it is impossible to understand one in ten thousand. We'll see how it will change in the end. ”
The implication of Pei Ju's words is that the crown prince is only eight years old, and he has not even lived for ten years, how can he understand Buddhism? And don't see the prince.
His words aroused the consent of all the ministers, and no one was optimistic about Li Chengqian.
On the contrary, if they couldn't resist Xuanzang's question, they would probably be the first to laugh.
"Yes, in terms of Master Xuanzang's Buddhism, he is a leader in the temple, and he is one out of a thousand, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is probably worrying at this time!"
These people's words were very quiet, and they were only discussed in a small area, and a person with common sense would not think that Li Chengqian had the qualifications to discuss Buddhism with Master Xuanzang.
But Li Chengqian dared to do this, and he interrupted people's words.
"Then ask Master Xuanzang to come up with the question!"
Xuanzang nodded and asked: "When the Buddha said shaou bao, he is talking about cause and effect." Sow good because you get good results, sow evil causes get bad results. ”
Li Chengqian thought about it, good and evil are trapped in fruition, hum is too simple. So he said:
"There is no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a thing, and the fruit is only in the mind and conscience."
Wow, everyone was in an uproar, this really made him right, and in less than a second, he was right.
People's feelings about Li Chengqian have been refreshed again, and this pair has made Xuanzang nod constantly, this move has proved that Li Chengqian is very good.
"Very good, His Royal Highness the Prince's comprehension is very wonderful, and the poor monk admires and admires it!"
"It's a fluke, please ask Xuanzang to ask the question again!"
The response was full of pretending to be forced, but no one looked down on him anymore, because this shock made everyone reacquaint themselves with Li Chengqian.
Xuanzang asked: "Okay! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince listened again, and I asked: What is the Great Dao Trail. ”
This question is very idealistic, there are three thousand avenues, and there are countless small paths, if you return to Buddhism, then Li Chengqian doesn't understand, but he has a way, so he simply said:
"The saint is the same as the heaven, the earth and the people, and the Confucianism, Buddha, Lao, and Zhuang are all used by me, which is the great road. The two are selfish, which is called a small way. ”
Now everyone is not calm, because Li Chengqian replied very well, which made Li Shimin even more satisfied, and he couldn't stop nodding, and he almost came out to show off again, if it wasn't for Xuanzang's presence, he was afraid that he would have to say again: "Sure enough, it's my son!" ”
Xuanzang responded: "Yes, yes, His Royal Highness the Prince's response is really unique, completely jumping out of the Buddhist scriptures, but responding to the Buddha's principles." Ok, good, good! ”
"Master Xuanzang is serious, please ask for another question."
Li Chengqian pretended not to be alarmed, but he was happy in his heart, and the shock caused this time would definitely bring extraordinary repercussions.
After thinking for a while, Xuanzang asked: "Cultivate the mind first, the heart is always at ease, how to cultivate the mind?"
When it comes to cultivation, no person of a little age cannot comprehend it, but Li Chengqian is different, he has been a human being in two lives, and the experience he has to be richer than here.
So he had a different view of the practice.
He said: "Mind cultivation should be based on purifying the mind, and cultivation should be based on selflessness. The past, the past, cannot be remembered; Now things, now hearts, just follow fate; The future, the future, why bother. ”
Wow, this is the third shock, everyone's mouths are almost closed, if it is better to say something once or twice, after all, there are accidents in everything, but three times in a row can respond, and it does not leak, then this is probably the real thing. Because he is so powerful, all the people who are not optimistic about him at this time have all shut their mouths.
Li Chengqian looked complacent, he was waiting now, waiting for the shock of these people to reach the peak, and this time the points would be harvested.
And the feeling of pretending to be forced in front of Xuanzang is very cool, especially the worship in Xuanzang's small eyes, which is like a studious student asking for the teacher's teaching.
"Good, good! His Royal Highness the Prince's participation in Buddhism is really above the poor monks, and the poor monks are admired! Amitabha. ”
The words coming out of Xuanzang's mouth are more shocking than coming out of other people's mouths.
"Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be! It's just a fluke. ”
Li Chengqian said so, if it was before, he would definitely be slandered, but now speaking, he is indeed qualified, because he makes Xuanzang admire, an eight-year-old prince can perform like this in front of a monk, which really made everyone think about it.
Li Shimin on the side kept nodding, he was very satisfied with Li Chengqian's performance.
"Master Xuanzang has asked questions before, so it's better for me to make a question once! How about the two of you answering each other? ”
Li Shimin intends to let Xuanzang have a step down, after all, as long as this question can be answered, who can determine whether it is good or bad?
His proposal was also approved by the ministers.
Ministers have said.
"In this way, it is feasible to be able to see the demeanor of the monk at a glance!"
"Your Majesty's proposal is very good!"
……
Li Shimin looked at Xuanzang with satisfaction.
Just waiting for Xuanzang's reply, I saw that he said unhurriedly: "It depends on whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intends to do so?" ”
Xuanzang was already convinced from the bottom of his heart, after all, the prince's understanding was not above him, but also equal, and he was a respectable opponent.
So for the crown prince, it is extra respect, and at the same time, the eyes are extremely longing.
This time, people locked their eyes on Li Chengqian again, and everyone was waiting for his reply.
In his heart, cool! Inexplicably cool! Being respected by Xuanzang is much better than being favored by the ministers.
So he walked out in style.
