Chapter 073: Who Comes First at the Beginning of All Things

And for Wan Yan Yunzhong, the initiator, he is determined to win this Nanshan, because it is related to his future destiny.

He thought that with such a mean condition, these bull-nosed veterans would retreat and obediently give up Zhongnan Mountain, but he never thought that this group of cownoses would be so resolute

Since this group of cows don't know how to lift, then there is nothing to say, so they said coldly: "Since this is the case, let's start"

The doctrine of Buddhism and Taoism was announced, and according to the etiquette of the guest and the host, it should be the first to be spoken by the master of emptiness. But since the debate outside the palace, the Master of Emptiness has become silent.

Among the seven sons of Quanzhen, Tan Chuduan was the most straightforward, but because Fang Cai Kongshan questioned the Taoist classics, he was already displeased, so he took the initiative to say: "Master Fang Cai Kongshan threatened that the authenticity of my Taoist classics is difficult to distinguish, I don't know if there is any basis?" ”

"Still? The monks don't speak, and what the old man says is naturally well-founded," Master Empty Silence slowly opened his eyes and responded in a calm voice.

"Oh? I would like to hear about it."

"The Han Dynasty historian Sima Qian's "Historical Records" covers a wide range of contents, from the Yellow Emperor to the early years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty more than 3,000 years of history, the whole book has 12 chapters, 10 tables, 8 books, 30 family stories, 70 biographies, a total of 130 articles, about 526,500 words."

"Lao Gao, may I ask, in this masterpiece history book based on the chronicles, has there been the slightest sign of 'Lao Tzu turning into Hu'?" After elaborating on the general outline of the "Historical Records", the Zen Master of Empty Silence threw out an important basis

"Uh...... This one doesn't ......."

The Zen Master of Empty Silence did not pause, and then asked, "Lao Tzu, whose name is Li Er, also known as Lao Dan, may I ask what book he has written?" ”

"Tao Te Ching"

"In addition to the Tao Te Ching, are there any other works that have been handed down to future generations?"

“…… There is no ......"

"Amitabha, is there an allusion to 'Lao Tzu's transformation into a hu' in this "Tao Te Ching"?"

By this time, Tan Chuduan no longer knew how to answer, because the Tao Te Ching was a sacred text of Taoism, and in the minds of their cultivators, the status of the Tao Te Ching was like the Christian Bible.

But as the empty Zen master asked, there is really no Lao Tzu in this "Tao Te Ching". Although this does not mean anything, it is also a reason for the other side to attack and refute the Taoists.

"In the most authoritative history book "Historical Records", there is no mention of turning Hu; In Li Laojun's self-written "Tao Te Ching", there is no mention of it word by word, doesn't this explain the problem? ”

"This ......" Tan Chuduan was speechless when he was refuted, and immediately sat on the futon silently.

In "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing", Lao Tzu said: "I ordered Yin Xi to take the moon essence, descend to the Tianzhu Kingdom, enter the birth of the white pure lady, and be born from the yin, called Siddha, give up the prince's position, enter the mountain to cultivate, become the supreme way, and be called the Buddha's ......"

Tianzhu is actually the India of later generations, the India that argues with China all day long.

Siddha, whose full name is Siddhartha Gautama, is the lay name of Shakyamuni before he became a Buddha. If you reason in this way, "Sakyamuni" is the back of Yin Xi and Lao Tzu's apprentice.

This "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing" pushed the status of Taoism to the supreme position, and the later Buddha Shakyamuni became Lao Tzu's disciple, which also indirectly shows that Taoism preceded Buddhism.

This is, of course, the exposition and opinion in the Taoist classic "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing", but it has always been believed by Taoists

Regardless of who came first and who came after the origin of these two religions, this kind of talk has become the source of contention between Buddhism and Taoism, and it has been a fact that has lasted for thousands of years.

Therefore, this time the Zen Master of Emptiness can be said to have come prepared, and fundamentally quoted scriptures to refute the Quanzhen Taoists.

The array has been defeated, this is the unfavorable rhythm of the teacher, the fifth son of Quanzhen, Yuyang Ziwang, is in the first, dusted off the dust and said solemnly: "There are things mixed, born from nature, I don't know its name, the word is said"

Although Wang Chuyi's words are mysterious, its fundamental meaning is to say that there is a thing made of chaos, which is born of heaven and earth, and its name is not known

The exposition of the 'Tao', the beginning of the birth of heaven and earth, obviously preceded Buddhism

"Amitabha, there is a mixture of things, why is the body of this thing chaos? If the ontology is called chaos, then at the beginning of the opening of the heavens, it has become unique in itself. Is it not 'the Word, begotten, and the true man who utters this word?' ”

The empty Zen master lightly twisted the Buddha beads with kind eyebrows, and between his words and laughter, he refuted the king to the point that it was difficult to speak.

Because in the Taoist classic "Tao Te Ching", it is said: Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things, and the empty Zen master is also counterattacking with Taoist famous allusions.

The Tao is one, but the beginning of chaos is the only one, how can it be born of the Tao?

Therefore, Wang Chufangcai's words were completely slapped in the face by the Zen Master of Empty Silence, this face was not only beaten loudly, but also insinuated that Wang Chu's method was not profound enough, and he actually said contradictory words.

After the defeat and retreat of the king, Sun Buji, a pure and scattered person, had an idea, and said: "The Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things, so the Tao gives birth to all things, although it lives behind chaos, but it is born at the beginning of all laws."

Sun Buer is the only woman among the seven sons of Quanzhen, and she is the wife of her eldest brother Danyangzi Ma Yu.

The Tao is the beginning of all laws, so the Dharma naturally comes second, and this argument is used wonderfully, and there is a kind of borrowing force to fight the force.

The Zen Master of Empty Silence was obviously very stunned by Sun Buer's excuse, and he just refuted Wang Chuyi's subjective argument with the reason of 'Tao Shengyi'.

Now that Sun Buji is using the question, things are really very difficult to do

Because if the Zen Master of Emptiness wants to refute Sun Buji's argument, then he must deny the "Tao Shengyi... The Tao begets all things". And if this basis is negative, it means that his previous refutation of Wang Chuyi is unreasonable.

This is a dead end in a dilemma, Ma Yu, Qiu Chuji and others listened to Sun Buer's argument, and their faces suddenly relaxed a lot.

Wan Yan Yunzhong saw that the empty silence Zen Master's face was embarrassed, but his heart sank, although he was a little worried at the moment, he also knew that he couldn't help, so he could only sit quietly aside.

After pondering for a moment, the Zen Master of Emptiness raised his eyes and recited the Buddha's verse: "Amitabha, if the Tao is knowledgeable, then only good is born, why is it also born ...... evil."

"Uh......"

Wan Yan Yunzhong is also a person who has read Buddhist scriptures and books, and he is also secretly worried about the dead end faced by Fang Cai's emptiness, and now the Zen master of Emptiness has found a unique way to question Sun Buji's argument with good and evil, which not only does not overturn the previous arguments, but also makes it difficult for Sun Buji to respond.
