"Xu Guigu, this time you help the Buddhist family to go west, after that Xuanzang comes back, there is a "Tang Dynasty Western Regions", and a "Dagang Prajna", but let the Buddhism be like the sky, no, you also have to think of a way for my Taoist, now the Taoist temple is getting more and more expensive to study chemistry, and the academy does not allocate much, all the Taoist temples themselves pay incense money to buy instruments, it is not possible to go on like this, you have to think of a solution for the Taoists." Yuan Tiangang's face was bitter, and at this moment, he did not return to the fairy wind bones of the past, but seemed to be a scoundrel who begged for cheapness, and he had the intention of not leaving without giving money.

Xu Yang also couldn't cry or laugh, this Taoist family was not in his own business, but seeing Li Chunfeng and Sun Simiao, the bigwigs of the academy, were sitting in front of the hall in the dark, he didn't dare to say this, these people are all honorary elders of Taoism.

"Ahem." Xu Yang faced Yuan Tiangang and said slowly: "I said Daoist Yuan, you can also think of a way yourself, there is no need to come to me for this matter, according to the wisdom of several Dao Chiefs, presumably this trivial matter can be solved casually, right?" ”

Yuan Tiangang gritted his teeth and stretched out a finger, "A copy of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy in the Zongsheng Palace's collection!" ”

"I said Yuan Daochang, this is really not my ......"

"A jade pot from the collection of green gifts"

"This ...... Yuan Tianshi, look at you, it's not that I don't want to help......"

"Han Dynasty Tai Chi Jue piece!"

"Deal!" Xu Yang stared at Yuan Tiangang with a flushed face, as if he had drunk red wine, he had heard that Zongsheng Palace was very rich, and Yuan Tiangang still liked to cry poor all day long, and now he could make a fortune.

In fact, those three things were also prepared by Yuan Tiangang a long time ago. I have long heard that today's Guiguzi doesn't love money. I love antiques. Therefore, he also brought enough weight, and asked Xu Yang to help the Taoists to be in the limelight in front of the people of the world this time, so as not to take up all the limelight from the Buddhists.

After looking at the people present, Xu Yang stretched out his finger and said: "I know why Buddhism is so popular in Chang'an recently, I heard that many people who don't believe in Buddhism in Chang'an have gone to the temple to worship the Buddha statue." ”

Yuan Tiangang glanced at Xu Yang, and said with some annoyance: "It's not that Xuanzang came back from that kind of wild area with a few broken books, and His Majesty built a new Buddhist temple for him, which made those people in Chang'an feel novel." ”

"Wrong." Xu Yang shook his finger. A confident look.

"Xu boy, don't sell lawsuits with a few of us, let's talk about it quickly." Sun Simiao and Xu Yang have the most contact on weekdays, and they naturally have no scruples when they speak.

Hearing Sun Simiao say this, Xu Yang also smiled slightly, "In fact, it is not because Xuanzang returned from the land of thousands of miles that Xuanzang returned from the land of thousands of miles to convert to Buddhism, nor because His Majesty built a large temple for their Buddhist family. What makes those people believe is just Xuanzang's translation of "Dagang Prajna" into Chinese. ”

Hearing Xu Yang say this, Yuan Tiangang showed a look of disbelief. He asked in disbelief: "It's just a book written casually by the Tianzhu natives, from head to toe." I don't see a trace of reasonableness, and it is even more nonsense to sit and become a Buddha, just that kind of book, it is simply a big joke in the world. ”

Hearing Yuan Tiangang's belittlement, a smile appeared on the corner of Xu Yang's mouth, and he turned his head to him and asked, "Then may I ask Daoist Yuan, what is going on with our Taoist Tao Te Ching?" ”

Talking about the "Tao Te Ching" Yuan Tiangang suddenly looked full of pride, "The Tao Te Ching is the ancestor of my Taoism, written by Lao Tzu, which is into the Taixue, astronomy, geography, human ethics, everything is learned, "poetry", "book", "Yi", "calendar", "rites", "music" is everywhere, cultural relics, regulations, history books are all learned, and the study has made great progress. The doctor also recommended him to the storehouse as a clerk. The storage room is the place where the classics of the Zhou Dynasty are collected, collecting the world's literature, collecting the world's books, and there is everything. It is a strange book of the first class in the world. ”

Hearing Yuan Tiangang introduce this classic, Xu Yang also smiled slightly: "Our Taoists, are there other faction classics besides the Tao Te Ching?" ”

When Yuan Tiangang heard this, he scratched his head embarrassedly and whispered, "This ...... Not yet, but a "Tao Te Ching" can be worth ten thousand books in the world. ”

"Huh." Xu Yang showed a smile of disbelief, "Then dare to ask Daoist Yuan, has it been said in this Tao Te Ching that Taoist disciples should cultivate?" Is there a class of cultivators? Can there be enlightenment and direct speaking? Is there an end result of monasticism? ”

Hearing Xu Yang's series of rhetorical questions, Yuan Tiangang was also stunned, and he even didn't understand the meaning of Xu Yang's words.

"What I mean is, is there a hierarchy for Taoist disciples? Have you ever thought about what the highest state of monasticism is? ”

"This ......" Not only did Yuan Tiangang answer, but even Li Chunfeng and Sun Simiao were a little speechless for a while, who knew what the highest state of cultivation was.

At this time, Xu Yang sneered and took out a brand-new book from behind him, and the four big characters of "Da Gang Prajna" seemed to radiate golden light outside.

"In this book of "Dagang Prajna", it is clearly said how to become a Buddha, before becoming a Buddha, there are four levels of fateful enlightenment, bodhisattvas, and arhats, each level has its own clear path to Buddhahood, in this "Dagang Prajna", there are three kinds of people who can clearly understand the true meaning of life, they are two-vehicle people, bodhisattvas and Buddhas.

The two-vehicle people are the shravaka and the enlightened people, who mainly study the Hinayana and Theravada Buddhism; Bodhisattvas mainly study Mahayana Buddhism, and the realm and wisdom of bodhisattvas are higher than those of two-vehicle practitioners. A Buddha is the ultimate perfectionist, fully aware of Hinayana and Mahayana Buddhism, possessing supreme wisdom and ability to subdue the demons of affliction, aggregate demons, dead demons, and free heavenly demons, and to endlessly raise great compassion to save countless suffering beings.

If the two yanas practice Hinayana Buddhism hard, if they never have the opportunity or are unwilling to learn Mahayana Buddhism, their final result of their practice will be to "destroy their body and mind", that is, to lose their body and consciousness. After the death of a person in the two vehicles, the result of his practice is to stop giving birth to his body and consciousness in the next life, and to disappear himself from the Three Realms, so that no one can find him inside or outside the Three Realms, so that he can be said to leave one qiē suffering forever and truly attain the state of selflessness.

Bodhisattvas go one step further, without having to destroy their bodies and consciousness, without having to disappear into the Three Realms, and in this realm of body and consciousness with afflictions and sufferings, they have to experience silent nirvana, and to know and grasp the original truth of the universe and life. Therefore, the bodhisattva's state of practice is an "incredible" state for a two-vehicle practitioner. ”

Hearing Xu Yang's rambling words like this, Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng, and Sun Simiao were all a little stunned, and Sun Simiao said impatiently: "Boy, if you have something to say, what's the use of talking about some Buddhist theories here that I don't understand." ”

Xu Yang laughed, "It's just that you don't understand it, so that people feel profound, in fact, this book is all about some hierarchical things, although it is said to be a Buddhist scripture, in fact, it is more like a pyramid scheme book." ”

Seeing that a few of them didn't understand what MLM meant, Xu Yang didn't explain too much, just counted the table in front of him with both hands, and said slowly: "We Taoists also need a classic book that can divide Taoist practice, no matter how this book is, as long as the hierarchical division in it is reasonable and credible, then there will definitely be a large number of disciples who are keen on it, and they can't extricate themselves!" ”

"Is that really okay?" Yuan Tiangang showed a look full of suspicion, he didn't believe that a book could alleviate the current situation of Taoist disadvantage.

"Of course it's not just a book." Xu Yang said confidently: "We need to add a bumpy and bizarre background to this book, and then let it circulate among the people, at that time, you can see how terrifying the power of hierarchy is." “

Hearing Xu Yang say so much, Sun Simiao was the first to ask: "Guiguzi is willing to help in this book?" "That's nature, I've wanted to write a fantasy novel for a long time...... "...... (To be continued......)
