Chapter 489: Chen's Book of Buddhism (Part II)
Do you still read this Buddha treatise?
When the literati saw a few people in front of him, he couldn't help but hesitate, staring at the king of Jiangdu, waiting for his instructions. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But when he stopped like this, it made Wang Yan and others on the stage, as well as the audience a little unhappy.
They were already slowly immersed in the story of Buddhism, but they suddenly stopped, and they were naturally unhappy.
Just listening to the words of the respected Buddha Tucheng, these people also knew the occasion and did not say anything to urge, but they were more or less confused in their hearts.
Why is it so good that you suddenly want to withdraw the Buddha's commentary? It's weird.
After all, for this Buddha commentary, these Buddhist monks visited a lot of people before and after, and it took a lot of effort before and after.
Why is this Buddha Tucheng Master turning his face and saying he won't do it?
King Jiangdu was also a little puzzled, but he respected Buddha Tucheng very much, and when he heard this, he pondered, but then he heard Zhu Faqian's words, so he hesitated.
Buddha Tucheng sighed, shook his head and said: "Also, this is always impossible to avoid, the Buddha's comment comes from us, and the result naturally has to be borne by us." Thinking so, the old monk sat back down.
Zhu Faqian also sat down.
When King Jiangdu saw it, he motioned to the literati to continue reading, in fact, he had also discovered that Chen Zhi's book on Buddhism was essentially different from other Buddhist scriptures, and there was a strange power hidden in it, which made King Jiangdu, a rather devout believer, faintly uneasy in his heart, but eager to listen to it.
Not only him, but even the scribe who was studying was actually attracted by the contents of this Buddhist treatise, and also wanted to know the follow-up, so as soon as he received the order, he continued to read it without stopping.
"Theravada advocates 'existence,' while the Mass Buddhism advocates emptiness, arguing about reality and falsehood, arguing about self-existence and non-self, arguing, and arguing about Mahayana Buddhism ......."
Listen and listen, many smart people on and off the stage have slowly tasted it.
"Good Chen Shouyi, I was still thinking about how to write his Buddhist treatise so as not to be criticized, but the Buddhist theory that I didn't expect is actually to write history clearly, and then mix it with the thoughts of Buddhism!" Wang Yan stroked his beard and smiled, feeling rewarded.
Even Zhao Yuan felt that he had some experience: "Only today did I understand that the Dharma I learned before was actually attributed to the Mahayana Buddha." β
Liu Jinye said: "In the past, I didn't know much about Buddhism, but today I only listened to half of Buddhism, and I feel that I have an understanding of Buddhism." β
"It's really amazing to talk about this way," Luo Xun regrouped and preached for Chen Zhi again, "There are five Dharma masters and many Buddhist monks, saying Buddha in front of them, there is indeed a suspicion of the class having an axe, and if you are not careful, you will be found a loophole, but according to Mr. Chen's Buddhism, what he is talking about is a Buddha, but he is not a Buddha, saying that he is a Buddha, because there is a Buddha in it, there are Buddhism, and there are many Buddhist sayings, but he is not a Buddha, it is because this Buddhism says Buddha, not worshipping Buddha, Rather, it simply explains the history of the Buddha and many Buddhist teachings, and does not involve too many personal thoughts. β
"Yes," Zuo Lian nodded, and also agreed, "Actually, I don't know if you have noticed that this Buddhist theory from the beginning, to now, I am afraid that it is only two or three thousand words, but it has already said that several major factions of the Buddhist family have been said again, not only that, but even the contradictions and ideas of each faction have been involved, such as the division of Mahayana and Hinayana and their different opinions, according to the Buddhist theory, the exotic Buddhism has been arguing for many years, and their respective doctrines feel that they are orthodox and do not recognize each other. But Chen Taishou clarified and explained the ideas of both in a book, and you can't blame him at all, because he is not admiring, just narrating. β
Gu You smiled: "Speaking of which, I think that the Hinayana method is more subtle and meaningful. β
Unexpectedly, Wang Lan next to him frowned and said, "Mahayana is undoubtedly superior!" β
As soon as these two people spoke, several people on the side expounded on their own, and they actually had their own opinions, and there was little unity, and they all felt that from the Chen Zhi's Buddhist treatises, they understood the reality and characteristics of several Buddhist factions, and they were judged only after classification, so they all felt that their tendencies were the most correct, and they actually did not give in to each other.
Immediately, the air under the stage had a solemn atmosphere.
Not only on the stage, but also under the stage, at this time also have their own tendencies, with the Buddhism all the way down, know the history of Buddhism, listen to the ideas of each faction, of course, each has its own opinions, and these various factions can develop, itself shows that they have their own truths, and they can also move people's hearts, make sense, and now they are accepted by different people, it is not strange.
But compared to the self-respecting identities of the few people on the stage, the people below quarreled, and they didn't have many scruples, and gradually there was a tense atmosphere.
This breath was captured by Jiang Yi on the stage, he suddenly smiled, then shook his head, and didn't plan to find any loopholes in the Buddhist theory, but listened to it with peace of mind.
But listening to it, his expression gradually became solemn, and the people arguing around him slowly stopped talking, and the eyes of King Jiangdu, who was pretending to be pretending, slowly widened, and the expressions of the five monks who were sitting in peace changed-
ββ¦β¦ Today, in the Middle Earth, most of them are Prajna learning, each with its own understanding, recognized by scholars, and it is widely disseminated and can be spread by Buddhism. β
"Those who are righteous should take the words of the Buddhist scriptures, compare them with the Chinese classics, and compare them with the similarities, so that the righteousness and the truth can be connected, so that the disciples can be taught, so that the Dharma can be passed on and take root in the land of China!"
"This is based on the number of things in the scriptures with the Chinese book, as an example of the life of the commentary, the author is brave, called it the law of the combination of the meaning of the book, and also lists a set of tricks of the meaning of the scriptures, which can make the Buddhist scriptures and the Chinese classics communicate, it is the language of the Buddha, and the words of the sages."
After these words came out, all of them, including Wang Yan, showed a contemplative look.
The meaning of this is actually to say that using the words of the Chinese classics to annotate and explain the Buddhist scriptures, and conversely, using the words of the Buddhist scriptures to annotate the Chinese classics is equivalent to erasing part of the independence of the Buddhist scriptures, but it also increases the connection between Buddhism and China and reduces the estrangement.
In the past, the monks, in the face of the resistance of the Chinese people, often used this method, Chen Zhi seemed to summarize it, but the Buddha Zhizuo among the five monks heard the words, and showed a touch of horror, he stood up eagerly, came to the king of Jiangdu, and said: "The king of the county, I will wait for this Buddha commentary, let's stop here today, the sky will be dark, please return!" Shouguang Temple is closing. β
King Jiangdu immediately had a headache, just now it was Buddha Tucheng, and now it is Buddha Zhizuo, why is he unwilling to do a Buddha commentary? I think this Buddha commentary is very good, that Chen Zhi also knows a lot of Buddhist family affairs, what is said and written is the Tao, why don't you want to listen to it?
However, without waiting for King Jiangdu to speak, Wang Yan said first: "Master Buddha, even if you stop today, but the Buddha treatise has already appeared, can it still be buried?" It's better to listen to it today, so that you can know what is written in this book. β
His status is very high, as soon as he speaks, even the Buddha Zhizuo is not easy to refute, and the Buddha Tucheng just shook his head and sighed, this Buddha Zhizuo could only sit down helplessly, but said to Zhu Fazhi beside him: "Where is this Buddha's theory, it is clearly to divide the Buddha!" First, the dispute between man and god made people disrespect the Buddha, and then the Mahayana and Hinayana divisions the people who study Buddhism, and now they want to shake the foundation of Buddhism, in a vain attempt to turn the Buddhist scriptures into annotations of Chinese classics, so that Buddhism can exist, and it is only a branch of Chinese learning! His face was full of anxiety and chagrin.
But Zhu Fazhi beside him shook his head slightly and whispered: "If you can see the true meaning of the Dharma, you can hear it, so what's the matter?" Besides, this kind of thing may not be like this, Buddhism is profound, how can it be reversed with a book? β
As soon as these words came out, Buddha Zhizuo was stunned in place, and immediately a great horror was born in his heart!
"The five people present are still like this......" He glanced at the Buddha Tucheng who sighed and bowed his head, thinking about Zhu Fazhi's rebuttal of his words, looking at the silent bhikshu Shoutuo, and then at Zhu Faqian who was listening attentively, the concentration in his heart actually wavered!
"The five of us gathered here with one heart and one mind, just to promote the Dharma, but now we just listen to the words of the Buddha and have their own thoughts, but what about the others? It is not these scholars who gather here today to listen to the Buddha, but those monks who are scattered all over the land of China and are running for the promotion of the Dharma, those monks who have gained a firm foothold and have their own temples, if they also listen to and read this Buddha's teachings? So what? Will it still be like now, gathering together, just to let the light of the Buddha shine in China? β
Thinking of this, Fo Zhizuo suddenly shuddered!
But the chill in his heart did not dissipate, for the literati read it againβ
"With the method of Geyi, looking at today's Buddhism, it will take the Chinese learning, and peel off the cocoon, and see the difference in Buddhism, the author is not talented, called the six schools, for the 'original nothing', 'the color', 'the heart is non-existent', 'the knowledge of the house', 'the illusion', 'the fate of the meeting'."
As soon as these words came out, Fo Zhizuo's whole body trembled.
Buddha Tucheng and the others also widened their eyes and their faces were full of surprise.
Others may not think so, but they know very well that the six families that Chen Zhi said are not nonsense, but all rely on them!
"This Chen Shizhu, if you can enter my Buddhism, it will be a catastrophe for the Buddhist family today, and it will be worth it!" Buddha Tucheng's deep voice sounded, "He can say the difference between these six schools, it is not far-fetched, but it summarizes the essence of the current Middle-earth Buddhist scriptures, and then develops, which is a manifestation of truly studying and mastering the Dharma of Buddhism!" It's just that this method is too ruthless! Alas, knowing the Buddha but wanting to split the Buddha, what kind of person is that Chen Shizhu? β
The expression on his face was complicated, and his eyes, which had long been ancient, showed a look of yearning and some hatred.
Buddha Zhizuo muttered: "I see, so it is, the so-called Buddha's theory, the original intention is not about Buddha at all, then Chen Zhi is afraid that Chen Zhi is also the same as Jiang Yi, regarding my Buddhism as an invasion of foreign gods, holding the Huaxia theory, but he does not disparage Buddhism, but seems to preach, in fact, it is differentiation, his method of combining righteousness and righteousness, seems to help Buddhism spread, but in fact, it is a distortion of Buddhism into a study in China, and now he finally wants to see the dagger, revealing the true face of dividing and disintegrating my Buddha! β
It's so ruthless! It's so ruthless! But it's also amazing! Without a thorough understanding of the Dharma that is preached in the world today, it is impossible to summarize it at all, let alone divide the Buddhists!
For Chen Zhi, who had never met, Fo Zhizuo's heart rose in awe!
Even Zhu Fazhi couldn't help but say: "If you can have the heart to study Buddhism, summarize the study of Prajna, bring forth the new, and summarize the essence of the six schools, even if you put it in the Western Regions, it is enough to be listed as a Buddhist master, and it is a person who can start a sect and guide the bright future, why did you become a Taishou?" That's it, the purpose of his summarization of the Dharma of Buddhism is not to promote, not to enlighten, not to sentient beings, but to crack the door of Buddhism in reverse? This ......"
Although Chen Zhi's people did not come, several Buddhist monks clearly felt that there was a great enemy in front of them, and if they could not cross it, the entire Middle-earth Buddhism would inevitably suffer a huge setback!
"This old method is too ruthless, this Buddhist family is six points, it should be his goal, but this purpose is enough to make my Buddhism shattered!"
