Fahai understood what Jigong meant.

Jigong told him that this debate is just a competition between you and Feng Zhou, and he doesn't care about the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.

If you are now stained with this layer of karma in vain, whether you win or lose, it will not help your cultivation, but will instead boost your desire for fame and fortune.

As long as you let go of your ego and transcend cause and effect, you can jump out of samsara in an instant and attain the Arhat realm.

At that time, Fahai will be able to sanctify in the flesh and enter the ranks of the five hundred arhats.

And Jigong can drink the power of Fahai with a word, and when he returns to Lingshan, he will sit on the Bodhisattva seat and be respected as the Bodhisattva of the Dragon Venerable.

Of course, Jigong has already attained the principles of Buddhism and practiced profoundly, and there is no self or Bodhisattva in his heart.

However, the Fahai in front of him is limited to ego, and it is difficult to detach himself.

"Amitabha. Fahai clasped his hands together and bowed to Jigong: "Subduing demons and eliminating demons, the nature of Buddhism, the so-called I don't go to hell, who goes to hell." The poor monk's heart is imperishable, and the self is restless, and only by ending the cause and effect can we see through impermanence. ”

He rejected Jigong's ignition.

It shows that he has not seen through my appearance and cannot detach himself.

Only by subduing Bai Suzhen and turning him into a disciple of Buddhism can he transcend life and death and see through impermanence.

Otherwise, even if it was Jigong, the dragon descending arhat, who was the first to drink, Fahai still maintained his heart.

According to the reason, if Fahai does this, it is clearly stubborn and ineffective, and it is difficult to become a Buddha.

But Jigong nodded, smiled, folded his hands in front of Fahai, and then floated away.

Because Fahai was just developing worldly bodhichitta.

The first thing a practitioner should do is to develop worldly bodhichitta and transform the boundless sentient beings into cultivation, so that he can subdue his mind anytime and anywhere with the bodhichitta he has developed.

Dedication is the goal of seeking the merits that you have cultivated, which is to turn the merits, wisdom, good deeds, and good knowledge that you have cultivated to share with all beings in the Dharma realm, so as to broaden your mind and give the merits a clear direction and not be lost.

The greater the bodhichitta is generated, the more difficult it will naturally be, the more merit will be required, and the goal of bodhichitta will be achieved, and even if part of it is achieved, the cultivation will be able to be diligent.

Developing bodhicitta is an important starting point for Buddhist practice, and dedication is a very important practice in the process of Buddhist practice.

In addition to dedicating one's heart, one should also practice the six bodhisattva realms, which are generosity, vows, forbearance, diligence, meditation, and prajna, so that they can step one step at a time to the other side.

From a broad point of view, this is the method of Buddhist practice, but of course it is quite complicated to elaborate on it, so I won't repeat it.

From this point of view, Buddhist practice is simply a barrier compared to monasticism, and the more you cultivate, the more you have no love, but it is not as refreshing as cultivation.

But in fact, there is no dogmatism in Buddhist practice, and you can become a Buddha by learning from the rigid practice of Confucianism like Tang Seng, drinking wine and eating meat like Jigong, and scolding the ancestors of the Buddha can also become a Buddha.

As long as he collects the heart ape, restricts the horse, and creates great merit for all beings in heaven and earth, even if it is just to subdue the little white snake, Fahai can also achieve the Arhat Fruit Position.

Fahai said this, Jigong naturally understood his Hongmeng wish, and naturally he was about to drift away.

Feng Zhou looked at Jigong who was humming a song, shaking a broken fan, and spilling away, his face was solemn, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The hour soon came, and the attendants of the Great Song Dynasty slowly walked up to the stage with a solemn expression, surrounded by the left and right.

He was just about to speak, when suddenly a sharp and thin voice came from afar: "The emperor has arrived!"

This shout stifled the voice of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who was about to open his mouth, and he and the surrounding officials hurriedly got off the debate platform, bowed down, and greeted the emperor.

As the voice rang out, a slightly chaotic procession rang out, and groups of Imperial Guards dressed in beautiful armor came in a queue and approached the debate platform.

As a common man of Lin'an, he is no stranger to military affairs, although he was slightly panicked, but he quickly calmed down.

"The emperor has arrived!"

With the sound of the order, the people hula knelt on the ground, and the mountain shouted long live.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites ran all the way and stepped forward, and after a while, the emperor entered the scene surrounded by the front division of the palace.

Feng Zhou swept from a high place, only to feel that this team was more than good-looking, not murderous enough, and it was completely a donkey dung and eggs.

It seems that Wang Chongyang and Xin Qi have entered the front division of the palace, except for refining their qualifications, they may not be of any use.

After greeting the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Gou sat down again, looked at the monks and Taoists on the high platform, his eyes fell on Feng Zhou, and he stayed for a while before saying: "It has been six hundred years since the debate on Buddhism's morality and righteousness. It is a major matter of the country, and this debate on Buddhism and Taoism, I am just looking at it, not judging, so let's continue. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.

Who doesn't know that you, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, have a very good relationship with the Taoist Fengzhou recently, this time, on the surface, the two do not help each other, but a discerning person can see at a glance that the official family is a Taoist.

If you don't help each other, you shouldn't come.

Shady, big shady!

For a while, all the monks on the high platform were solemn.

But they didn't pay much attention.

After all, there are many Buddhists, and this debate cannot be lost in any case, at most, it is not painful to say a draw in the end, but Buddhism can be widely spread all over the world.

Oh, by the way, this time it's a showdown between Fengzhou and Fahai.

But it doesn't matter, when that time comes, won't the living be able to speak?

"Amitabha!" the monks chanted their Buddha horns.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" several Taoist priests also chanted in a low voice.

At this time, the emperor was already sitting on the throne, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites announced the official start of the debate conference.

He instigated the emperor to hold a debate conference, never against Buddhism.

Rather, it is against Fahai.

As long as this matter is set on the secular dispute of the debate on the Buddha's path, it is to prevent the gods and Buddhas from coming to the aid and carry out a dimensionality reduction attack.

When Tang Seng traveled westward, those immortals did not miss the action.

Of course, through this conference, Feng Zhou wants to become a legend in the whole world, absorb a large amount of faith power, and achieve supreme magical powers, therefore, this debate conference is the stage for Feng Zhou, and he Feng Zhenren wants to be the only protagonist, he should be the one who gets the greatest benefits, so Fahai will not retreat, it will only be good for him, and there will be no harm.

At this time, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites said a lot of things and announced the beginning of the debate.

Fahai recited a Buddha name in a low voice and stood up.

He is the head of Jinshan Temple, has presided over for 50 years, annexed countless lands, to countless merchants, reserves endless wealth, studied Buddhist classics can be described as full of sweat, sister and fellow Buddhists debate, never lost.

It is the head of the dragon descending Arhat, and he can go back, so you are a young Taoist, how can the poor monk be afraid of you?

The poor monk will use this conference to kick you, the roadblocker, aside, and then wait for him to surrender Bai Suzhen and properly resolve this demon, so as to calm down the cause and effect of more than a thousand years.

"Dare to ask Dao Chief, what is the Dao?" Fahai asked.

Feng Zhou smiled faintly: "I am the way!"

Fahai was stunned, and couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed in his heart.

This little Taoist priest, why don't you follow the routine.

You must know that ordinary Taoists debate and will say a lot of things, what Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, three to all things, and so on.

Fahai has one hundred and eight ways to create a flaw and fight back.

But Feng Zhou opened his mouth and said that I am the Tao, which directly resolved his one hundred and eight counterattack strategies.

"It seems that this little Taoist priest is not simple!" Fahai sighed slightly in his heart, but with an indifferent smile on his face: "Dao Chief, if you are the Tao, who is the Tao before you?"

"Zen Master Fahai asked the wrong question. Feng Zhou smiled: "I am the Tao, before me, I am still the Tao, after me, I am still the Tao." ”

"Huh?" Fahai opened his mouth, slightly stunned in his heart.
