Indeed, as Lipborg explains, Buddhism was at its peak in the kingdom of the Buddha, even though it was Buddhism. And the monasteries all over the country are respecting the Dajialan Temple, leading all the monks in the whole territory of the country. This Buddha's top bone relics are also enshrined here, not only blessing the wind and rain of other countries, but also bathing thousands of people in other countries.

I still remember that it was a spring five years ago, and on a warm morning, I saw a burly monk from afar, who looked to be in his thirties. Before today, no one knew his name, let alone where he came from. I saw that he was wearing a Brahmanical monk's robe, and holding a red sandalwood festival that had been coiled and had this thick pulp. With a sturdy pace, I came to the outside of the mountain gate of the Great Jialan Temple.

At this time, after several years of restoration, although there is no Buddha top bone relic, but under the leadership of the new temple master Master Zhijian, it has been restored to the previous state, not only the incense is prosperous, but also won the support of the believers. At this time, because the morning class had just ended, many believers were still in the square outside the mountain gate, reminiscing about the pure teachings of the Venerable Master. So everybody saw this Brahmanical monk coming over with this smile on his face.

Seeing that the Brahmanical monk was polite, he walked up to the Venerable Zhijian, gave a bow, and said, "I am a Brahmanical monk, and I want to debate with the Venerable Master about some of the teachings on the Vedas?" I don't know if I can enjoy the light."

This Vedas, to put it simply, constitute the basic doctrines and philosophical foundations of this Brahmanism, just like the Tao Te Ching, the Confucian Analects, and the Bible. Every religion has the characteristics of each religion, and the basic doctrines of each religion, and this Veda was formed from 2000 BC to 1000 BC, which is 1,600 years old from the lowest time when the book was completed.

Buddhism originated around 600 B.C., as mentioned above, this Buddhism originated from Brahmanism, so his basic teachings are inseparable from the Vedas, but Buddhism only screened out a part of the content of the Vedas, expanded them, and adapted them, and then formed Buddhism. In other words, the most basic difference is that Buddhism also believes in the Vedas, but not in their entirety; And this Brahmanism is the whole of the Vedas.

As a result, most of the arguments of these two schools of thought are based on the teachings derived from the Vedas. Over the years, these two factions have their own strengths, either you stand on the top, or I stand on the top; No matter who dominates the top, the other faction will definitely decline.

Although the history of debate has been passed down in this way. But remember, the outcome of this debate changed dramatically from this man, the Brahmin monk in a Brahmin robe and holding a rosewood sprayer, who was Kumarita. Since his beginning, the debate on the Sanskrit interpretations has been dominated by the Vedas. However, it is precisely because of his starting point that more than 100 years later, a prodigy of Brahmanism appeared, and from a macro perspective, through the form of debate, Buddhism completely disappeared from the land of the five Indians.

The most fundamental point of view is that he believes that the highest and true Brahman is the foundation of all things in the universe and the dependence of all things. All phenomena in the world arise from Brahmanism. Brahman is not only unified, but also eternal and pure. It does not have any differences, internal and external, nor does it have any attributes, changes in movement. Brahman transcends both subjective and objective, as well as time, space, substance, cause and effect, and so on, and is an absolute reality that is invisible, inaudible, intangible, unspeakable, and inconceivable.

At the same time, the monk also believes that Brahman itself is a spiritual entity without any attributes, but ordinary laymen look at it from the lower wisdom and attach various attributes to it, such as omniscience, omnipotence, and so on. In this way, it becomes a suprahman, that is, there is no attribute, no difference, no limit; The other is the lower Brahma, which is limited, differentiated, and limited by attributes. The upper Brahmana is non-empirical or non-phenomenal, while the lower Brahma is empirical or phenomenal, subjective.

According to Shankara, the lower Brahman, or the Brahmana limited by ignorance, is the god (self-being), the individual soul (the self), and the world. The world was created by Brahman with the magic power of Maya, which is the root of the transformation into the name of the phenomenal world (spiritual and material), the seed of the phenomenal world. Maya is a form of ignorance (ignorance) or false awareness. The Brahmana transformation into the world is an illusory transformation. From the point of view of causality, in this transformation, the cause is transformed into effect by illusion and unreality, and its nature is unchanging. For example, some people see the rope as a snake, which is an illusion, and the nature of the rope does not become a snake at any time.

That being said, it is precisely because his interpretation of Brahman and the world is objective idealistic, and he uses reasoning methods to deduce the individual soul and the world from Brahman, that his Brahman is nothing more than a variant of human cognition, an exaggerated and absolutized human rationality.

This Brahman is a fusion of entities, gods, and deities worshipped by various sects of Hinduism in various regions of India in the Middle Ages. He wanted to develop a unified form of faith and social way of life for the people of India in a state of feudal division, so as to escape the crisis caused by infighting, political division, caste, ethnic and religious antagonism.

Of course, he did it, and he eventually defeated Buddhism, and it may be because of this cycle of cause and effect that Buddhism blossomed and bore fruit in foreign lands, which cannot but be said to be a wonderful thing.

Going back to Kumariro, it is precisely because of these five Indian lands, no matter at any time, that there has always been a tradition of this dialectic. Since he dared to challenge himself in front of so many believers, this Master Zhijian could not be left behind, so he returned the salute with a smile and agreed to this Kumorilo's request.

The two men were ready to start this argument. In fact, their argument is very clear, that is, on the solution of painful problems. We can assume that there is too much pain in life, and some of the pain is something we can't solve. When we face this problem, we often tell ourselves that it is better to downplay the pain than to be unable to solve it......

This is what we told ourselves, and how did the Buddha solve this problem: the Buddha focused on the process of cultivating the mind, and often did not actively change the outside world. Everyone knows that when faced with an unresolved problem, it is painful, and then the Buddha said: Everything in the world, including suffering, is unreal, and this is the so-called void state.
