Chapter 366: A Thousand Moons
However, the Zen Master knew very well in his heart that no matter which one he chose or what choice he made, he would not be able to escape the strange circle that Ye Yu laid for him.
He believed in Buddhism all his life, and knew that Buddhism was just a way to educate people, good causes and good results, and there would be no such thing as this kind of immortal divine power of slashing, and the more people who understood Buddhism, the more they understood the truth.
Ye Yu looked coldly at the Zen Master of Empty Silence who was in a dilemma, feeling the oppressive atmosphere in the hall at this moment, he knew that the persecution at this time had reached the fire.
So he poured himself a cup of tea, and then said softly: "Okay, master, Yu is just talking, Yu is just trying to explain a truth to you, that is, no matter what the Buddhist scriptures ......."
Speaking of this, Ye Yu deliberately glanced at Qiu Chuji, Ma Yu and others, and then continued: "It is still a Taoist classic, it cannot be said that it must be the original intention of the saint and the Buddha, because there will inevitably be omissions in the recitation from generation to generation!" ”
"Both the saint and the Buddha are the embodiment of wisdom, but our descendants may not be all wise men, so no one should question the authenticity of the other's scriptures, as long as they can educate sentient beings and persuade others to be good, then this text is a useful thing, that is, the proverbs that the saints and the Buddha want to expound......"
"You must know that the saint and the Buddha are not one person, it can be you, it can be me, it can be all beings!" Ye Yu said and pointed to the empty Zen master opposite, and then pointed to himself, and said calmly.
Hiss!
Ye Yu's eloquent talk shocked everyone present. When everyone's eyes focused on Ye Yu, it seemed that the protagonist of this scene was not the Quan Zhen Qizi, nor the empty Zen Master, but this young man with a bloody face.
Seeing that the Zen Master was about to speak, Ye Yu waved his hand and interrupted: "The master's meaning is clear to Yu, but Buddhism pays attention to the four major emptiness, so why should the Zen master see right and wrong so important?" ”
"The master questioned the falsity of the Taoist classics, but are all the Buddhist classics true? In Yu's opinion, it is not true, but the reason why it is respected by the world is because of the good cause and good effect to persuade the world! Isn't the reason why Buddhism can flourish so much because the Buddhist scriptures educate sentient beings? ”
This last sentence seems to praise Buddhism, but in fact, it is also said to be heard by the seven sons of Quanzhen. Instead of vainly changing the classics to compete for this nihilistic name, it is better to think carefully about how to make all beings in the world accept Taoism.
Although the Zen Master of Empty Silence disagreed, he had no way to refute it, at least he could not be invulnerable after a thousand times of disbelief. However, Ye Yu's words just made up for the embarrassment that he didn't dare to defy the law.
"The donor's words are reasonable, the old man has been taught!"
Chen Hao looked around at everyone, and then looked at the tea on the table, which was already cold at the moment.
Gently poured himself tea, and then said to himself: "As soon as people leave, the tea will be cold, which is the law of nature; If people don't leave, the tea will be cold, and the world will be hot and cold. With a cup of tea, Buddhism sees Zen, Taoism sees qi, Confucianism sees etiquette, and businessmen see ......"
Hiss!
In just a few words, it seems to be quite mysterious, at this moment, not only the empty Zen Master and the Quanzhen Seven Sons looked slightly stunned, but even Wanyan Changle and Wanyan Yunzhong, who were displeased, couldn't help but stare at the slightly hot fragrant tea in front of Chen Yeyu.
Ye Yu drank it by himself, then played with the tea cup in his hand, and then said leisurely: "Tea said, I am just a glass of water." What is given to you is just your imagination, what you think, what is you, the heart is tea, tea is the heart! ”
After speaking, Ye Yu shook his head and smiled: "Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, can you really distinguish between the three?" No matter what the meaning of this glass of water is, but the most fundamental thing is to quench your thirst, instead of arguing about the sweetness and bitterness of this tea, it is better to think about how to make the tea tasters happy to drink this tea! ”
"Really good tea, I don't care how precious it is, and I don't care about the first and second generation of its production, it is naturally made, so why fight? What do you mean? Thousands of rivers have water, thousands of rivers and moons, and all living beings are concentric sources. The road is simple, my Buddha is compassionate! ”
“……”
At this moment, Ye Yu was like a grandmaster preaching, preaching to everyone present, and at the same time giving the Seven Sons of Quanzhen and the Zen Master of Empty Silence a profound epiphany.
Yes, instead of arguing whether this cup of tea is a Buddha or a Tao, it is better to think about how to make all beings in the world accept this cup of tea!
As for which is better or worse, which comes first, these are not really important, because all beings in the world will give a fair answer.
"Thousands of rivers have water, thousands of rivers and moons, and all living beings are the source of concentricity. In the benefactor's words, everywhere through the Buddha's principles, the old man has been practicing penance for decades is not as thorough as the little donor, and he is ashamed and ashamed! ”
"The master has an overreputation, Yu is just a rude language, and I hope the master will not blame Fang for the persecution......"
Whichever side wins this debate is not the best outcome.
If the Quanzhen Sect loses, it will definitely be discredited from then on. And if he, Ye Yu, took this opportunity to humiliate the Zen Master of Empty Silence, then not to mention the trouble afterwards, he always felt that he was sorry for Monk Jigong like this.
So at this time, the best ending is that he takes the initiative to take a step back, and it is better to turn war into jade silk when the soldiers meet!
The reason why Fang Cai is so strong is actually to give in and be gentle at this moment, and to show his tolerance and open-mindedness between advance and retreat.
It's equivalent to slapping the other party, and then giving a sweet date to comfort!
"It's good, it's good, I can listen to the donor's words, the old man has benefited a lot, and it's worth it!"
As he spoke, the Zen Master stood up and bowed to Ye Yushen: "If you are free in the donor's leisure, please come to the Big Buddha Temple, and then the old man can discuss Zen with the donor and say goodbye!" ”
"The master's mind is like the sea, the kid will definitely go to the Big Buddha Temple another day and personally ask the master for Buddhist teachings......" Ye Yu hurriedly stood up and responded with a solemn expression.
"Amitabha, good, good!"
The Zen Master turned around and saluted Wan Yan Yunzhong, and then led the three disciples to leave first.
There was no loss on the face of the Zen Master of Emptiness, but an unprecedented relief, which may be the reason for the epiphany.
A theory of Buddhism and Taoism, because of the appearance of Ye Yu, the situation took a big turn, and it also ended because of the sudden departure of the empty Zen master.
This is a debate on Buddhism and Taoism without a winner or a defeat, but the meaning produced is very important. It not only saved the fate of the Quanzhen Sect's migration to Zhongnanshan, but also gave the Quanzhen Seven Sons and the Zen Master of Empty Silence an epiphany.
Wan Yan Yunzhong didn't expect that the outcome of the matter would be like this. Since this Buddhist debate can no longer be carried out, it is also boring for him to stay in Zhongnan Mountain.
Therefore, not long after the Zen Master left, he angrily led the guards to leave Zhongnan Mountain.
At the moment when these people left Chongyang Palace, Wanyan Yunzhong, Wanyan Changle and Liu Qianfan all glanced at Ye Yu thoughtfully.
And it was the different eyes of these three people that made Ye Yu feel a little strange.
