Chapter 582: An Shigao
A true Buddhist disciple should have no desires, no desires, no greed and no fighting. Sun Quan now, on the surface, wants to promote Buddhism and be kind to Buddhism, but the old monk can't see Sun Quan's true purpose, Sun Quan gives Buddhism great benefits at the same time, but also hopes that Buddhist disciples can help him. It's a bargain that takes advantage of human greed.
As long as the disciples of Buddhism have no desire, they will naturally not fall for Sun Quan. Even if this is not fooled in Sun Quan's view, it is a win-win situation. But for Buddhist monks, what is "winning"? Why Win?
"The master is right, I'm not looking for a Buddha. But there is no true Buddha in the world, and the Buddhas are all in the western heavens. Although the world looks to the Buddha, it is not a Buddha, is it? Sun Quan said with a smile, when it comes to sophistry, is he not under anyone, he has no desires? Not greedy, not fighting? How many people in the world can do it? Buddhist disciples may be less greedy than ordinary people, but Sun Quan believes that it is just a little less.
Look at the Zhenrong back then, believing in Buddhism, building temples everywhere, and trying his best to accumulate blessings for himself, this is Zhenrong's greed. Including the vast majority of Buddhist believers now, don't they just ask for peace when they pray to God and worship Buddha? Isn't praying for peace also a kind of greed?
Therefore, what Sun Quan needs has never been a high-ranking monk, he is not looking for a Buddha, he just wants to borrow the power of the Buddha. Those Buddhist disciples, those Buddhist believers, are Sun Quan's goals!
"Including the master himself, the master persuaded me to turn back, I don't know what I thought?" Sun Quan smiled at the old monk.
"The general is a person with a wise root, and the poor monk is just an ordinary monk, and he is naturally 108,000 miles away from the true Buddha, so he must continue to understand the words of the Buddha. If the general is interested, why don't you join me in the understanding? The old monk said.
Sun Quan tilted his head,
"What's the benefit of my enlightenment?"
The old monk shook his head and smiled, and replied,
"What benefits the general can get, the poor monk does not know. But the more you understand what a Buddha is, the closer you get to the purpose of the general, isn't it? β
"Good!"
Sun Quan laughed, sat down on the spot, knew himself and his opponent, and was invincible. He wanted to hear what the old monk could say.
And Sun Quan sat until the end of the illusion.
ββββ the dividing line between realityββββ
Emerging from the illusion of three thoughts, Sun Quan's whole person was still in a trance, and there were bursts of Buddha sounds repeatedly in his ears, but he couldn't drive it away!
"This monk does have some way!"
Sun Quan sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't know that the old monk was far more enlightened than he thought in his heart.
Today's Sun Quan, because his Dao heart was not cultivated by himself after all, so his perception of himself is biased. Theoretically speaking, Sun Quan, who has a Dao heart, will not be easily affected by anything when he is determined and his heart is like a rock. Anything that includes disadvantages also includes advantages.
For example, there are women who use charm to tempt Sun Quan, and Sun Quan, who has a Taoist heart, can be like water; In the same way, if a Buddhist disciple preaches Buddhism to Sun Quan, it stands to reason that Sun Quan should not be affected in the slightest.
As a result, Sun Quan is now completely listening! To exaggerate, it's like a scientist being moved by a theologian!
Although Sun Quan did not fully realize the power of this eminent monk, at least he was now very sure that this man was indeed a Buddhist monk and not a liar.
Judging from the contact between Bai Rili and Sansi Fantasy Realm, Sun Quan wants to persuade this high monk to let the other party help him, I am afraid it is impossible. Even the other party still disagrees with Sun Quan's initiative to approach Buddhism, which will certainly bring some benefits to Buddhism, but it will also lead Buddhism into disputes. Buddhist disciples should not ask about the world, but if they really do what Sun Quan wants, then they have gone astray.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan couldn't help frowning a little, what should he do to such a Buddhist monk who is of no help to him and may hinder his plans?
Just now, Sun Quan also listened to the class of the senior monk and knew the other party's ability. He believed that even if he tried his best to persuade the Buddhist representatives in Xiapi City on the front foot, as long as this senior monk went to teach the other party a lesson, then the covenant would probably be scrapped immediately.
So, kill this monk?
No way! Not to mention that it is impossible for such a powerful monk to have some means, even if Sun Quan is really killed, once it is exposed, Sun Quan may not be befriended by Buddhism, but will directly become a mortal enemy of Buddhism.
Kill and can't kill, put the best can't be released, then house arrest? That's not a good idea either.
Wait a minute!
Recalling what he saw and heard today, Sun Quan's heart suddenly moved, and then the corners of his mouth hooked, hehe, there is!
Even if your Buddhism is profound, in terms of the art of war, routines, and means, it is far from being comparable to Sun Quan. Sun Quan knew that this senior monk should be the Xianyun Yehe type, just like he obviously had the idea of persuading Sun Quan to turn back, but he never made a strong move. Therefore, even if he sees through Sun Quan's routine in the future, this senior monk may not deliberately go against Sun Quan and sabotage Sun Quan's plan.
Everything is fateful, even if it is the rise of the Buddha or the destruction of the Buddha, this high monk will not cling to it.
The next day,
Sun Quan found Diao Chan and said to him,
"Yin Holding into the Sutra", "Abhidhamma Five Dharma and Four Truths", "Twelve Causes", "Turning the Dharma**", "Eightfold Path", "Zen Practice", "Practicing the Tao Sutra", through these scriptures, who can you think of?"
"Where did you hear that?" Diao Chan glanced at Sun Quan in surprise, but in one night, Sun Quan found out so much information? "I don't really know much about Buddhist scriptures, but what you're talking about seems to be the classics of Theravada Buddhismγγγγγγ" Speaking of this, Diao Chan seemed to suddenly remember something,
"Wait! Nexco! Diao Chan exclaimed.
"Anshigao?" Sun Quan didn't know much about the name.
"Oops! I should have thought of it a long time ago! Diao Chan couldn't help but stomp his feet, "The four rivers enter the sea and have no compound river names, and the four surnames are Shamen, all of which are called Shi Chong." This is the famous sentence of Master Aceco! β
"What's that?"
Sun Quan was stunned, and then slowly pondered, this corresponds to the fact that yesterday's senior monk claimed that his name was in the past, and let Sun Quan call him a monk, the same meaning, in other words, this forced character is different all of a sudden!
"Is this monk famous?" Sun Quan couldn't help asking.
"It's not just famous!" Diao Chan said seriously, "It is said that An Shigao III cultivated Buddhism, is a legendary figure in Buddhism, his generation is extremely high, many Buddhist classics were introduced to the Central Plains by him, including the current host of the White Horse Temple, who has also been taught by him!" With that, Diao Chan hurriedly pulled Sun Quan and was about to go out, "Let's go and invite someone back, so that we can settle down, as long as he is willing to help, your business will basically be done!" This is a figure who can't see the head and the end of the dragon, and we don't know what luck we have to meet it. β
"Don't, don't." Sun Quan hurriedly stopped Diao Chan, "Do you think the master will be willing to help me?" β
"How do you know if you don't ask!" Diao Chan said immediately.
"People are high-ranking monks who were born out of the world, and I am just a layman. It doesn't matter if you ask someone, I'm afraid that people will refuse in person, then this matter will be embarrassing, and once it spreads, I am afraid it will be self-defeating. Sun Quan explained.
Diao Chan heard that it was reasonable, so he turned to say,
"If you don't come forward, then I'll go alone. I'm going to help you get a sniff first. β
"Not necessarily." Sun Quan waved his hand, and without waiting for Diao Chan to speak, he opened his mouth and smiled, "I have a better way." β
