Chapter 66: Debating the Buddha
Faming monk!
Su Duan recognized the fat monk in front of him at a glance, folded his hands, bent slightly, and said humbly: "I don't know what advice the master has called me?" ”
The true identity of the Faming monk is controversial in the journey to the west, and some readers believe that the Faming monk is the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, because the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva when he became a Buddha in the past is "Zhengfa Ming Rulai", which contains the word Faming.
Another part of the readers believe that the monk Faming should be the incarnation of the Buddha, after all, Chen Xuanzang is the reincarnation of the second disciple of the Buddha, Jin Chanzi, and his reincarnated body should naturally be taught by the Buddha.
There are also some readers who think that everyone else thinks too much, as the book says, this Faming monk is just an ordinary elder of the Tang Jinshan Temple who has cultivated the truth and enlightenment and has obtained the secret of lifelessness.
But what Su Duan can be sure of is that no matter what the identity of Fa Ming in the Journey to the West is, in the Journey to the West, he must be the incarnation of Rulai, otherwise how could he teach Chen Xuanzang the "Three Hundred Children's Songs" that is really the "Great Day Rulai True Scripture"?
"Don't dare to advise!" The fat monk Fa Ming shook his head, smiled, and seemed to always smile so much: "I look at the donor, you have a fate with my Buddha, and I have come to transform it into you, so it's better to ......"
"Why don't you take refuge in your Buddha and follow your practice?" When Su Duan heard the word "degree", his brows furrowed suddenly, and he directly interrupted Fa Ming's words: "If this is the case, forgive me for being difficult to obey, and I don't have any messy fate with your Buddhism!" ”
In his impression, the most shameless thing about these Buddhist monks is the sentence "I have a relationship with my Buddha" and the means of "degree"!
"Amitabha, the donor seems to have a great prejudice against my Buddha?" Monk Fa Ming's face remained unchanged when he heard this, but there was a hint of surprise in his smile, I really don't know how he made such a complicated expression.
Su Duan was happy in his heart, he originally thought that the Faming monk would be angry, and he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, others didn't know, but he knew that the person in front of him was the head of the Buddhist sect, such as the Buddha!
It's just that he obviously underestimated the mind of this person, and very simply borrowed a donkey to go downhill and said: "What is a Buddha?" ”
"Concentrate on goodness, unite your heart and deeds, and persevere, you are a Buddha!" Monk Faming bent down to pick up a withered yellow leaf, and sighed softly, and the yellow leaf suddenly regained its verdant vitality.
Su Duan's eyebrows were subconsciously raised, but he didn't expect Fa Ming to say such a thing, and he was even more shocked by Fa Ming's breath: "If everyone enters the temple to cultivate Buddhism, abides by the rules and precepts, breaks off the red dust, and is not close to women, won't my human race be cut off from now on?" ”
"If you have suffering, you can know that all living beings are suffering, and if you have attachment, you can let go of attachment, you have care, and you have no concern!"
The smile on Monk Faming's face remained unchanged, and he said something after Chen Xuanzang was enlightened at the end of the plot: "The rules and precepts are for restraint, and those who can cultivate Buddhism wholeheartedly are a minority after all, as long as there are precepts, countless people will not be able to enter this Buddha door." ”
"Besides, if everyone can devote themselves to goodness, and they are willing to enter the temple to cultivate Buddha, and all sentient beings are Buddhas, then how can this world not be a pure land on earth, a land of bliss?"
The corners of Su Xuan's eyes twitched, he found that he was really not good at debate, and what Monk Faming said was indeed reasonable, but young people are young and vigorous, and they like to save face, how can they be willing to admit defeat?
"The following words may be biased, please forgive the master!" Su Xuan's eyes rolled, and he remembered a Black Buddha's remarks, but he was worried that Fa Ming would be angry, so he opened his mouth to provoke.
Fa Ming's expression was as usual, and he said happily: "But it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”
"I have heard: The Buddha knelt down in front of him for 3,000 years, and I didn't see my Buddha feel pity. Mo is dust covering the eyes of the Buddha, it is not the money for incense. Su Duan observed Fa Ming's expression while reciting the poem, and said, "Dare to ask the master: If the Buddha is not greedy, why should the world worship him?" If the Buddha does not love vanity, why should the world bow down? ”
"The people of the world worship to show their sincerity, and the people of the world kneel down to show respect, all of them come from the heart, and they do it voluntarily, may they be forced by the Buddha? If you don't believe in my Buddha, can you enter the temple to worship and bow down? ”
Monk Faming shook his head, did not answer Su Duan's question directly, and asked rhetorically: "If it is not forced by the Buddha, how can you blame my Buddha?" If I give you ten thousand taels of silver of my own free will, how can others accuse you of stealing money? ”
Su Duan continued to ask: "I have heard: I have a Buddha in my heart, but the Buddha has no self in my heart. After suffering from the suffering of the world, the Buddha said: Everything has a fixed number, if so, what is the use of worshipping the Buddha? ”
"Have you ever heard of a benefactor who is self-sufficient?" Monk Faming showed an inexplicable smile on his face: "There are thousands of mortals in the world, if everyone prays for the Buddha's mercy, then who will cultivate?" Everyone in the world is greedy, and if it is too easy to get, it will not be cherished. Only through hardships can we show the preciousness of life! ”
"The existence of the Buddha is only to give hope and guide the way, not to seek the Buddha in everything! The so-called seeking Buddha is better than seeking oneself, this is the meaning! ”
a chicken, this fat monk has such a powerful mouth!
The corners of Su Xuan's mouth twitched slightly, feeling that he was not the opponent of this great monk in the debate at all, but it was also, how could the other party say that he was also the incarnation of Rulai, if he couldn't say anything about the Buddha, then it would be okay?
Su Duan has never been afraid to speculate on others with the worst malice.
He summed up Fa Ming's remarks, the general meaning is to emphasize people's subjective initiative, anyone can become a Buddha, if you believe in it, you don't believe in it, you can't blame the Buddha for the things that believers voluntarily, it's better to seek Buddha than to seek yourself, Bala Bala Bala, there is also a bit of a pyramid scheme, if it is not for the emphasis on concentrating on goodness, Su Xuan is not even afraid to compare him to a cult!
"Amitabha, I see that the donor has a deep grudge all over his body, a murderous heart is hidden in his chest, and the horror is not far from falling into the devil's path!" Seeing that Su Duan was silent, the monk Fa Ming called a Buddha and said: "My Buddha is merciful and can't bear to go astray from the benefactor, so the poor monk has come to you to transform into a monk, are you willing to enter my door and concentrate on cultivation?" ”
Su Duan was stunned suddenly, and his face showed a complicated look of surprise and surprise.
It turns out that those black qi are the so-called negative spiritual energy such as resentment and hatred? As for Monk Faming's sentence "A murderous heart is hidden in his chest", it naturally means that he has always had psychological problems. As an incarnation of the Buddha, it was no surprise that Su Duan could see this.
The only thing that made him feel unbelievable was the sentence in Fa Ming's words: "Are you willing to enter my door and devote yourself to cultivation"!
"Under my door" and "under my Buddhist door" are only one word, but the hidden meanings are very different, and the weight between the two cannot be compared at all.
That is, if you find a temple to practice, you can be regarded as entering my Buddhism, but entering my door is different.
You must know that Fa Ming is the incarnation of Rulai, and what he said about entering my door is:
Come under my door!!?
