After sending off Baiyun, Lü Peng got into Xu Jie's tent and met with this Buddhist.

This Buddhist disciple is really famous, his name is Ze Jushi, and he is now the first person to translate scriptures in Luoyang, and the chief disciple of An Shigao, the prince of rest.

After Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty set the capital of Luoyang again, he built a new White Horse Temple, began to translate scriptures on a large scale, and began to promote Buddhism, which made Buddhism begin to be promoted in China.

But in this era, the spread of Buddhism in China is not very smooth, even the upper class, Buddhism is not very treated, the reason is that Buddhism has not really secularized, for example, Buddhists firmly insist that Buddha is the largest, even if the emperor sees a monk to kneel, which is the largest conflict with China's imperial power.

After practicing by the teacher's side, the layman was ready to find a strong person to support him in spreading Buddhism, so he chose Lü Peng, and he followed Lü Peng's footsteps to the grassland.

When Lu Peng came in, he saw a person, sitting there unkempt, and when he saw him coming, he didn't kneel.

Xu Jie introduced Lu Peng's identity to him, and the Buddhist said arrogantly: "When you see me, why don't you kneel?" ”

Lu Peng tilted his head to look at him, and then asked, "Are you a Buddha?" ”

This person said calmly: "After 108,000 miles, I will be a Buddha." ”

"Then you're mortal."

"I'm still a mortal for the time being, and even if I achieve positive results, I'm just an arhat."

Lu Peng straightened his waist and said proudly: "Since you will be a Buddha in the future, then you are still a mortal, since you are still a mortal, then I am the king of people in this world, why should I kneel for you?" Not only that, but if you want my support, you have to kneel down to me. ”

This was a lion's roar, and the general Ze Jushi was shocked on the spot: "If you want to develop, you must worship the king of people, and if you want to develop, you must worship the king of people." The layman muttered with dull eyes, and at this time he understood a truth that he only understood in the Liang Dynasty, if he wants to be recognized by the Chinese, he must bow to the Chinese people, which is called joining the world.

After thinking about this joint, the layman suddenly knelt down, "The little monk meets the king of the world." ”

Lu Peng smiled: "If you want to integrate into the local area, you must integrate with the local situation, otherwise how can it be accepted?" If I am the king of a land here, but you despise me, why should I support you, not destroy you, count your luck. Then he strode past the monk who was kneeling on the ground and sat down directly on the upper seat.

The layman is like a different person, and only then does he have the aura of great virtue.

"King Tang is so enlightened about Buddhism, it is really the fate of my Buddhist family, if King Tang can take refuge in my Buddha"

"What the Buddha does is to purify all sentient beings, and I don't have that kind of mind, so I'll save all peoples, what's the difference between this and taking refuge?"

After opening his mouth, the layman was moved by Lu Peng's great epiphany again, and his admiration for Lu Peng was even deeper. "It will be a blessing to all the people if you use your wisdom roots to practice Buddhism under your rule."

Lu Peng refused: "Taoism makes people do nothing, Buddhism promotes the afterlife, Confucianism teaches people to go out of the way, each has its own merits and cannot be forced, the people's beliefs are determined by their hearts, and the hearts decide everything, isn't it?" ”

The layman suddenly thought again: "Edification is in the heart, and the admiration of the heart is pious, and the little monk has been taught." Now he thinks that Lu Peng is a great wisdom, and he has been meditating in the White Horse Temple for all these years, which is not as thorough as a murderous fake.

Lu Peng said again: "If you practice, you must be maverick, you must be different, so that people can see your identity from a distance and admire you, like you, wearing a scholar's clothes, what is the difference between it and all sentient beings?" Therefore, the work clothes belonging to your group still have to be dropped" At that time, the Buddhist monks did not wear uniform monk robes, which was after Emperor Wu of Liang issued a holy decree.

The layman clapped his hands again and applauded: "King Tang is really capable, and the little monk has been taught." ”

Lu Peng said again: "Since the Buddha is against killing, why do you practitioners still eat meat?" Isn't that contrary to your teachings? ”

This question made the layman shocked at that time and accused him again and again.

"As the saying goes, there is no killing without buying and selling, and there is no slaughter without eating, so you should practice not eating meat."

The layman immediately knelt down in fear and repented: "Disciple, from now on, I am determined to cut off wine and meat, if I drink and eat meat again, and kill living beings, I am willing to be punished by all ghosts and gods, and I will fall into hell." "In this era, monks ate meat, or Emperor Wu of Liang issued an order to cut off monks from eating meat, and formed a rule.

"Since you preach the six purities, what is the use of the three thousand threads of afflictions on your head? Isn't your subchin beard in the way? "Look at which Arhat and Buddhist murals, they have beards, and the monks in the film and television dramas are all white beards, it's just nonsense, don't be crooked by the film and television

The layman scratched his head, indeed, the three thousand troubles on his head are really annoying, "I shaved him here, hoping that there is nothing to do with troubles." ”

The monk shaved his head, also from Emperor Wu of Liang, in this world, as an emperor's holy decree has been passed down for thousands of years and is still effective, in fact, only these three holy decrees of Emperor Wu of Liang are the only ones.

Then without waiting for Lu Peng to say more, the layman had already retired in fear.

When he asked to see him again the next day, a piece of coarse cloth wrapped the prototype of the body robe, a bald head without a beard, and even the eyebrows were shaved off The formal shaving should be like this, I don't know if the shaved below is not shaved, not to mention becoming dignified and treasured, at least it looks very refreshing, and people feel willing to get close to it.

Lu Peng circled around this layman, and his mouth was full of voice: "Sure enough, it is a treasure and solemnity, and it is really different, and it can become a generation of masters." ”

The layman was praised like this, and he was overjoyed at that time, and gave Lu Peng a deep salute: "After being enlightened by the king of people, Buddhism will inevitably prosper." ”

Lu Peng shook his head humbly: "The merit of greed for heaven, the merit of greed for heaven, is not enough for outsiders." "Yes, this is really plagiarism, if it is really known by another traverser, and he does not despise himself to death, piracy, it is to be struck by lightning.

"If the King of Man could implement the Dharma under your rule"

"Stop." Lu Peng immediately stopped the idea of the layman, joked, to promote Buddhism under his own rule, so that all people do not eat meat, so how to boost his own economy? If all people are allowed to stop having children, how will their own population develop? Let everyone give up fighting, then how can their hegemony be achieved? Let all the people be monks without giving birth, then it will be faster to boast about themselves, which is why there are three times in history to destroy the root cause of the Buddha, there were too many monks at that time, and I didn't want to set this precedent first, and I was scolded by countless believers for thousands of years.

"It is our duty to carry out the Dharma, but we can't do it there, because our people haven't suffered to a certain extent and need the Buddha to save them in their busy schedules, but you see, there are a group of suffering people in front of you, why don't you save them, is there a priority in the matter?"

As soon as he heard that there was a group of suffering people waiting to be saved by himself, the layman was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood: "Now that I am idle, I will go and save them, where are they?" ”

So Lu Peng pointed to the Xianbei people who were praying for immortality in the distance.
