Chapter 913: Mahayana and Hinayana
At the foot of Ling Mountain, in front of the bamboo forest where He Xie had stopped, the figure of the golden cicada suddenly appeared here.
His eyes were blank and he looked around stiffly, and his heart gradually sank.
"Good, good......" he muttered, and a strange look gradually appeared on his face.
He was a little reluctant to believe that he had been tricked by a mortal who had even a little fairy spirit on his body!
It's still on a major matter related to the direction of the Three Realms!
He thought to himself that he had been cautious enough, and not only did he personally go to intercept the messenger of the Pure Altar, but he was always vigilant and did not let up.
But who would have thought that weird box ......
That box that looked a little rough, a box without the slightest energy fluctuation, could directly teleport itself to the foot of the Spirit Mountain!
What the hell is that?
"Golden Cicada, come and see me!"
The voice of the Buddha sounded in his heart, Rao is golden cicada was not surprised by this, but he couldn't help but tremble and closed his eyes.
In the range of this spiritual mountain, no one can escape the Buddha's induction, and no one can disobey the Buddha's decree, after all, the Buddha broke out of a way.
Thanks to the rout!
"Yes, Master." The golden cicada quickly regained its composure and folded respectfully.
He remembered the messenger of the altar.
This accident shocked many powerful eyes.
In the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Guanyin and others were silent.
In the palace of hating the sky, the happy Taishang Laojun threw a elixir to Qingniu.
In the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, the Jade Emperor called the curtain general with a calm face, and ordered him to investigate the heels and feet of the Pure Altar Messenger.
In the three-star cave of the slanting moon in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, the Bodhi Taoist quickly pinched his fingers, and his face was solemn.
In the Wuzhuang Temple, Zhenyuan Daxian showed a vague smile and muttered, "Interesting......"
Some people rejoice, others worry.
No one could have imagined that the already destined qi of the Three Realms would be completely changed because of a mortal who had not yet become an immortal.
Many of the causes and effects that have been predestined have now become chaotic, and what the future will go towards has been shrouded in a fog that no one can break through.
And He Xie, who caused all this, had already collected the auspicious clouds at this moment, and used the space gate to quickly teleport away in the direction of the Pansi Cave.
That black metal box is his proudest harvest in the last world - the portable space door!
After countless improvements, he was able to use the Spatial Door to reach anywhere he had been whenever he wanted!
In addition, the space door can also allow him to escape thousands of miles away in an instant, which is definitely a treasure used to rush and escape!
He Xie didn't plan to go back to Lingshan with the golden cicada from the beginning, and after making sure that he couldn't get more information out of the golden cicada's mouth, he activated the space gate and teleported the golden cicada to the foot of the Lingshan Mountain.
It can be said that it is a fierce golden cicada.
He Xie did not regret doing this, although with his wisdom, he could fully anticipate what it meant, but if he chose a path, he would not back down for any reason.
He knows very well that the first rule of being a pawn is that once you have a goal, you will never back down, otherwise you will become an outcast.
And the fate of the abandoned son is definitely not much better.
Using the space door to teleport a few times, He Xie has reached tens of thousands of miles away.
He paused for a moment, and knew that his location was less than ten miles away from Pansi Ridge.
He wasn't worried about whether the golden cicada would catch up, because it seemed to him that it was impossible.
But if the golden cicada really catches up, He Xie will admit it as soon as possible, because it means that the Buddha can't even control the Spirit Mountain, and it is not worth He Xie to take refuge at all.
He didn't rush to Pansiling, but slowed down so that he could calm down and think about the whole thing.
By now, the whole thing is clear.
The Buddha was against the Journey to the West, and it was the Golden Cicada and the people behind him who promoted the Journey to the West.
Therefore, this matter is not a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, but a contradiction within Western Buddhism.
Why did the Buddha oppose Journey to the West, and why did Jin Chanzi and the people behind it insist on promoting Journey to the West?
Although he couldn't get out of Jin Cicada's words, He Xie also analyzed some shallow reasons based on the information he got now.
He believes that the Journey to the West must first be a doctrinal dispute.
The reason for this conclusion is because of the chaos of Western religion today.
Different from the Western religion he knew, the Western religion at this point in time in this world can be said to be full of factions, just what He Xie saw on the surface, there were "Buddha School", "Journey to the West School" and "Demon School".
It is impossible to analyze what the demon faction stands and what evil it is, but the other two factions are obviously opposites.
He Xie felt that the struggle between the Buddha and the "Journey to the West" represented by the golden cicada was likely to be a dispute between Hinayana and Mahayana.
Thanks to He Xie's familiarity with Buddhist scriptures and scriptures, he is relatively clear about the doorway here.
The most fundamental difference between Mahayana and Hinayana is that Hinayana focuses on completely getting rid of the suffering of the six realms of reincarnation, cutting off afflictions, and extinguishing birth and death through one's own practice; Mahayana, on the other hand, requires practitioners to have a broad desire not only to free themselves from the suffering of the six realms of samsara, but also to save all sentient beings from suffering together and attain ultimate happiness.
One is to save oneself and the other is to save sentient beings.
The purpose of the Journey to the West is to spread the Dharma to the East, so the "Journey to the West" that promotes the Journey to the West must represent the Mahayana Buddhism of all sentient beings, and the Buddha's hindrance of the Westward Journey must represent the Hinayana Buddhism of self-improvement.
As for why there was such a conflict of ideas, He Xie obtained too little information and did not know, so he could only analyze the superficial reasons.
And the deep-seated reason, only by understanding why there is a conflict between Mahayana and Hinayana concepts, can we see it more clearly.
In short, this is absolutely impossible to be an academic and ideological struggle, and its essential contradiction must ultimately be interests, or even life and death.
"I'm also going against the sky......" He Xie sighed with some emotion in his heart.
According to the development of the plot, in the end, Journey to the West was successful, and he is now helping the Buddha to break the cause and effect of Journey to the West, which seems to be very inopportune and reckless.
But in fact, everything He Xie has done now, every step is in line with his own interests.
This road is very dangerous, but the high risk is also accompanied by high reward, He Xie can fully imagine that once this mission is successful, he will inevitably get a rich reward.
Moreover, He Xie is not without a way out......
Thinking of this, He Xie couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
Even he didn't expect that just by escaping the hindrance of the golden cicada, the space-time shuttle's energy was suddenly full.
In fact, by now, even if He Xie leaves this world, it will be worth the ticket price.
At this time, Pansiling was already in sight, looking from afar, there was a cloud of steaming mist, and there was a faint laughter of a girl playing.
