Chapter 50: Wang Xuance moved the pagan monk Kuma Master to skillfully debate the theory of good and evil (II)
As soon as his voice fell, he saw that Zeng Zeng said angrily this week: "Doing good deeds is good, and doing bad deeds is evil, what is there to distinguish between this?" ”
This is a very correct theory. But what is good and what is bad? But seeing this Gu Mori Liluo with a smile on his face, he asked Zhou Zeng.
"A good thing is something that people recognize as feeling good; Bad things are things that people think are bad. Zhou Zeng thought for a while and then replied.
This sentence is also very reasonable, but how big is this recognized concept? Let's say you do one of these things, and you carry an old man who is about to cross a river, and fifty people say that you are doing the right thing; But there are 60 people who say that what you did is not right, and the reason for the wrong thing is that in the process, if there is a slight slip in the river and you fall and injure the old man, they are afraid that you will be deceived by the old man. So is this a good thing or a bad thing? Kumoriro asked them a straightforward and simple question.
This question immediately led to the crowd. I only heard this week's reply: "I don't care, this matter, if it were me, I wouldn't think about it so much, I feel that this is a good thing." ”
Hearing him say this, Kumoriro immediately smiled approvingly. Then he turned his head to Chen Maocai and said: "You should be General Chen, back then, in this Qiantuo Weijiang, with this deadly tactics, it was also brave and fierce to defeat this Almita in a battle." ”
"The master has won the award, this is all due to the mission at that time," Chen Maocai replied politely.
Seeing that he was so modest, he only heard this Kumoriro ask again: "In that case, then you can also tell me what you think about this matter?" ”
In this Chen Maocai's consciousness, Kumorilo's words did not have any problems at all, if he was rescued, the old man would have no problems, and both parties would naturally be happy; If you are rescued, on the way to cross the river, if you accidentally slip and hurt the elderly, how to solve this situation? This incident couldn't help but make him mutter. But seeing that he was also a little confused, he replied to Kumoriro: "I am not sure about this matter for a while, whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, but as Zhou Zeng said just now, if you encounter it, you will definitely save you, and you will not think about so many problems." ”
Hearing his reply, Kumoriro also smiled and nodded. Then he set his eyes on Wang Xuance: "Wang Changshi, do you also want to tell me your opinion on this matter?" ”
When he heard Kumoriro say this, Wang Xuance couldn't help muttering in his heart, if you look at it from a small scale, this thing to help the elderly is a good thing, but if this problem is expanded, and then this kind of assumption is added, the problem becomes serious, and the good and bad things account for half of the total. Therefore, I heard him say: "I think this matter should be divided into two halves, if you rescue the old man and send him safely across the river, then it will be a good thing; If in the process of sending the old man across the river, he accidentally slipped and injured the old man, under the condition that the old man did not blackmail himself, this is also a good thing; If the old man is injured by a fall, and the old man blackmails himself, then this matter is a bad thing."
"Haha, Wang Changshi, the analysis is very thorough," I heard the Kumoriro laugh and replied to them.
After his inquiry, some of the 30 or so envoys of the Tang Dynasty said that this matter was good, and some said that this matter was not a good thing; Originally, it was an ordinary matter, but before he didn't tell it, all the members of the Datang Mission naturally wouldn't think about it so much, and they all felt that it was a good thing. But as he told the story of this dangerous assertion, they suddenly had to think about it again. As a result, there is a state of polarization......
"I wonder what the master thinks about this matter?" Wang Xuance also asked him with a hint of doubt.
I only heard this Gu Mori Luo paused for a moment and said: "This matter, the little monk also thinks that it is a good thing, and it should be done." But in real life, this scene is often encountered, sometimes it not only messes up people's lives, but also messes up this thought; So much so that many believers asked me about the confusion of this question. In fact, there is no clear division between good and evil, and the most fundamental reason lies in this heart. If our hearts are good and we feel that we should help them, then this is a good thing. If we were just a normal heart, then there would be no distinction between good and evil, and there would naturally be no later development in this matter. For another example, if we have a problem in the process of rescue, and the old man's heart is good, he understands that we are helping him, and this kind of mistake is also unintentional and will not blackmail us, then this matter is still good. But if the old man is ready to blackmail when something goes wrong, then your heart is good, and the old man's heart is evil. ”
Listening to his reasoned and well-founded explanation, I couldn't help but let everyone have a deeper understanding of good and evil: if the heart is right, the good will be right, and if the heart is evil, all good deeds will naturally become evil deeds. Therefore, in doing things, the emphasis is on cultivating the mind.
Seeing that everyone couldn't help but nod, and then looked at Zhou Zeng, who also cast some approving glances at this moment, this Kumorira said to them again: "Good and evil are between this thought. Is this heart what we can change? Like this Brahmanism, Buddhism, as well as your Confucianism and Taoism in the Tang Dynasty, they are also conveying this concept of mind cultivation. Of course, our Brahmanism has been around for more than 2,000 years, making it the oldest of all religions. Naturally, we can see these problems clearly and thoroughly. And what we mainly do is to warn the believers, educate the believers, and develop towards the good. ”
I heard this Kumoriro say so. Wang Xuance also agrees with his theory of good and evil. Having said this, seeing that his mind flashed like this, and his eyes rolled like this, he was ready to continue the topic and test this Kumorira's opinion on what he was thinking, so he asked him again: "The master is so young that he can have such a sense of life, and he is really a great sage." Hearing this theory of good and evil, Xuan Ce was also deeply touched. This Buddhism in the past those times, in our five India land is very prosperous, since the master enlightenment, this Buddhism and this monastery debate without the power to resist, Xuan Ce along the way, seems to feel that in this Brahmanism the master is a great good person, but in the eyes of many Buddhists, the master has become a wicked person, such as the dozen or so monks just now. I wonder what the master thinks about this matter? ”
In the face of Wang Xuance's words, how should this Kumori Luo reply? Please see the next ......
