Everything has a cause and must have an effect, and there is also a cause and a fate to perish, hearing Wang Xuance ask like this, this Kumori Luo then asked: "Wang Changshi has been in our five India, and it has been a long time, your prestige has already spread far to the land of my five India, and this is the third mission, and the time is not short, the little monk wants to hear what you think of this debate?" ”

Wang Xuance heard his anti-guest words, the reality was stunned, and then he smiled slightly: "Since entering our five Indias, I have indeed found this unique way of learning, if in my Tang Dynasty, the exchange of knowledge between the same sect is one side to ask, one side to answer, when which side answers the question less, it will naturally be defeated, but our study is only very plain, very simple this, not as good as our five India, the face of the argument is red, and the success or failure of the hero." However, this way of communication is also very unique to me. ”

But hearing him say this, the Kumoriro nodded, and then replied: "Every country and every place does have a different way of learning, and this way of my five India also has an ancient lineage. After the birth of the Vedas, the scholars of the five Indians, in order to constantly discuss the judgments and opinions contained therein, sat together and debated with each other like you scholars of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, at the beginning, this way of debating was very simple, and because it was boring, because it was cumbersome, and then it was not easy for people to remember more deeply, so later, on the one hand, it developed into this kind of debate between the same sect through this way of dancing and moving, and the natural atmosphere became active, and the memory was more profound, so the debate between the same sect was passed down after the precipitation of time......

Later, on the other hand, this Buddhism from the very beginning, even if it was a branch that arose out of our Brahmanism, naturally inherited this way of debating. Because most of the teachings of the two religions are figured out, the debate between the two religions also adopted this form in the future, but in order to appear more solemn and rigorous, we usually advocate the way of meditation and arguments to discern the other party, which is what Wang Changshi saw, including the debate method adopted by Master Xuanzang when we studied in the five Indians. However, on this street, the debate seen is quite fierce because of the inheritance, and this is also the most primitive way of debate. ”

Looking at Wang Xuance and nodded again, this Kumori Luo continued: "Reason is not clear, no matter what is not clear, the religious foundation of our five India is the basis of a debate, what is sought is the true meaning of life, and what is pursued is a kind of natural thought of great harmony, of course, many of these thoughts are carried out peacefully in a hierarchical sequence. I think you must be asking why I have been suppressing Buddhism in this form of debate for the past few years, right? ”

Wang Xuance followed Zhou Chen and the others, with this smile on his face, and still nodded at Kumoriro......

"This matter is not because I deliberately suppressed them, but because they have no way to explain this problem for the time being, which has a lot to do with the basic tenets of religion. Imagine how they could not feel a little guilty in the face of the contradictory teachings of Buddhism after I had put forward the arguments of the past. Just like when Master Xuanzang found out the loopholes in my Brahmanism, weren't we the same? Therefore, as I said earlier, there is no lack of reasoning, and only after debate can we know where the problems are and where they can be improved...... After so many years of depression, my Brahmanism has been perfected and improved step by step through many great debates with Buddhism. I don't know if you'd like to listen to the old monk talk about it. But when he saw that the Kumoriro looked at them in doubt, he opened his mouth and asked.

But listening to this Wang Xuance and others, they replied in unison: "Wish"

Then the Kumoriro said cheerfully, "In that case, I will tell you some of the events and results of this debate." In the beginning, we Brahmans had many gods and advocated that anyone could become a god, and this created a state of disorder that people didn't know how to believe in God and believe in that god. At that time, Buddhism had only one god, and that was the Buddha. When the people embraced this Buddhism, they found that this theism and polytheism were simpler, more convenient, and clearer. So the foundation of Buddhism among the people gradually increased. Later, after arguing with Buddhism, the patriarchs of our Brahmanical religion found that this theism did have many advantages, so they reorganized the gods of Brahmanism and made Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu the three main gods. After this reform, it didn't take long for my Brahmanism to become far superior to this Buddhism. In the end, when Buddhism felt that this theism was too monotonous through this way of dialectic, it also changed its original position, and then there were bodhisattvas, arhats, and many Buddhas, and so on. So, that's the result of the debate, in other words, it's not a bad thing, the two religions are interdependent and learn from each other's experiences and lessons. Only by finding out their own weaknesses and improving them will there be a day when they will be reborn, otherwise they will continue to decline until they die! ”

Listening to his justification, Wang Xuance and the others also gradually recalled that all the eminent monks and great masters they met admired Kumoriro a lot, so they couldn't help but praise this Kumoriro. But listening to this, Wang Xuance then asked him like this: "I don't know the master, what do you think of the development of Buddhism in my Tang Dynasty?" ”

Seeing that this Kumoriro thought for a moment, and then followed his words: "We have such an old story in the five Indias, yes, there is a group of little rabbits, who have been living in the jungle, and there are not only tigers, but also lions, in short, there are too many natural enemies of the little rabbits; Because they have been oppressed for generations, so in order to change this situation, the rabbit king led these little rabbits to migrate to other places, and as they walked, they found a fertile grassland, and this grassland did not have a natural enemy, so they lived comfortably here. Have you ever heard this story? ”

But seeing that this week, Zeng answered at this time: "What the master means is that this Buddhism is like a little rabbit, and there are so many similar sects and opponents in the land of the five Indians, but after I have arrived in the Tang Dynasty, there are no same sects, so will the Buddha shine and prosper?" ”

How would Kumoriro answer? See the next section......
