Chapter 11: The Light Boat Preaching

It doesn't matter where the song comes from.

The important thing is that this rain is still falling.

Rain is also a kind of supernatural power, rain can wash the soul, can wash away the dust in people's hearts, can wash away the dirt in people's hearts.

It can also allow Xu Xian to wash away the turbidity on his body.

Removing the turbidity and leaving the clear qi, Xu Xian embarked on the path of cultivation.

A long time ago, he practiced the Dharma, the Dharma of Nyorai.

From now on, he will cultivate the Dao Fa, his own Dao, and the Fa is someone else's, but the Dao must be his own.

"After all, people's hearts are thinking about change, the more wise people are seeking change, a road has come to an end, since there can be a chance to do it again, why can't you change?"

Xu Xian looked at Xu Xian who knelt down in front of him in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

He didn't pry the joy of Rulai's corner, at first, he may have wanted to retaliate, after all, Rulai was prying his corner.

But when it really came to this time, he felt that he was doing something very meaningful.

At this time, Xu Xian looked up at Lu Fengqiu, just as he looked up at the relics at the beginning.

Lu Fengqiu helped Xu Xian up.

Xu Xian had some more methods in his mind, and he waved towards Lu Fengqiu and said, "Thank you Master for teaching the Fa." ”

Lu Fengqiu said with a smile: "The law can be taught, but the way is difficult to teach." ”

Xu Xian heard this, thoughtful.

Lu Fengqiu said with a smile: "Today, as a teacher, I will teach you the first lesson." ”

As he spoke, Lu Fengqiu waved his hand, and some kind of confinement was opened.

"You three come and listen too."

The three people in the cabin, Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, and Lu Xiaohua, heard this and quickly lifted the curtain.

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing both looked at Xu Xian a little strangely, although they didn't hear the conversation between Lu Fengqiu and Xu Xian just now, but they could see Xu Xian's movements.

If they were not mistaken just now, Xu Xian should have worshiped Tianzun as a teacher.

Lu Xiaohua is the one who understands Lu Fengqiu's thoughts the most, and she doesn't look weird.

Lu Fengqiu glanced at Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, and said, "The two of you have been under the deity for some days, and the deity is preaching to the three of you today. “

"In today's lesson, I will talk about the Buddha and the Tao."

"Buddha and Tao?"

Bai Suzhen was a little surprised, she was a disciple of the Daomen, this has not changed from beginning to end, although there have been some small episodes in the middle, but now those have been blocked by Tianzun.

Guanyin Bodhisattva never appeared in front of her again.

Bai Suzhen glanced at Xu Xian and said secretly, Tianzun is probably because of Xu Xian that he started to preach.

Xiao Qing was excited when she heard Lu Fengqiu's words, she could finally hear Tianzun preach, and now she could learn a lot of powerful spells.

At this time, Lu Fengqiu looked at Xu Xian and said, "Hanwen, tell me your views on Buddhism." ”

When Xu Xian heard this, he waved his hand and said: "The disciple has only studied for a few years, although he has read some Buddhist scriptures and Taoist classics, but he has only tasted it at a superficial level. ”

Lu Fengqiu gave Xu Xian an encouraging look.

Xu Xian said: "The disciple feels that to a certain extent, the Buddha and the Tao are not superior, and the Buddha and the Tao are just different choices for people. ”

"Just like Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are also the same."

Hearing this, Lu Fengqiu smiled, nodded, and then said leisurely.

"In this world, the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are fighting against each other."

"Confucianism talks about heavenly principles, Taoism talks about Taoism, and Buddhism talks about the law."

"Confucianism talks about entering the WTO, Taoism talks about birth, and Buddhism talks about salvation."

"Confucianism talks about the mandate of heaven, Taoism talks about nature, and Buddhism explains liberation."

"Confucianism is like a grain store, Taoism is like a pharmacy, and Buddhism is like a grocery store."

"Confucianism seeks a gentleman, Taoism seeks leisure, and Buddhism seeks freedom."

"Confucianism abandons villains, Taoism abandons artificiality, and Buddhism abandons troubles."

"Confucianism is manifested in etiquette, Taoism is manifested in truth, and Buddhism is expressed in precepts."

"Confucianism is obsessed with the realm, Taoism is obsessed with the heart, and Buddhism is in the state of mind."

Buddhism talks about being born into the world, "being born" is to escape into the empty door, having a pure heart and few desires, and being empty in all eternities, and "entering the WTO" is to enter the mortal world and preach Buddhism. ”

"Theravada Buddhism emphasizes rebirth, and the pursuit of rebirth is to be free from the troubles and temptations of the world, to find a place of silence and tranquility, and to practice quietly and reach a high state."

"Birth requires the practitioner to get rid of all distracting thoughts, to give up things outside the body, to forget things and self, there is no self outside the body, I am not me, there is no self and impermanence, and the ultimate goal of birth is to cross oneself, that is, to pursue one's own liberation."

"Contrary to Hinayana Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism emphasizes entering the WTO, and through the practice of entering the WTO, the masses are educated in order to achieve positive results."

"Why is there such a big difference between Hinayana Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism?"

Theravada Buddhism believes that human nature is inherently evil, and only a few people can "realize" it, and that only by practicing outside the world of sin can the root of evil be eliminated and good results can be achieved, which is a pessimistic and negative attitude. ”

"Mahayana Buddhism believes that human nature is inherently good, but the world is full of suffering, and the nature of sentient beings has been lost.

"The so-called fact that all sentient beings have Buddha nature and can become Buddhas represents an optimistic and positive attitude. It can be said that being born is crossing oneself, and entering the world is crossing people. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Fengqiu paused.

Xu Xian was fascinated by what he heard, although he had seen his previous life, his understanding of Buddhism in this life was at the level of ordinary people.

I heard Lu Fengqiu explain in detail the difference between Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism.

Xu Xian had a sense of trance, and in a trance, he returned to the Great Lei Yin Temple, as if the preacher in front of him had become Rulai again.

However, the rain is still falling.

Xu Xian woke up from his dream, and he saw clearly that the preacher in front of him was not the Buddha, but Tianzun.

Xu Xian waved his hands and said, "I didn't expect that Master Venerable was also so proficient in Buddhism. ”

Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "It is precisely because you know the way of the hundred schools of thought that you can understand your own way." ”

Xu Xian heard this, thoughtful.

Lu Fengqiu looked at Xu Xian's state, and then looked at Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, and Lu Xiaohua's state.

Although Bai Suzhen is not as obsessed as Xu Xian, she is also attentive to the lecture.

Xiaoqing and Lu Xiaohua are different.

These two can't bear it.

Xiaoqing couldn't help but yawn.

Lu Xiaohua was even more desperate, leaning directly on the side of the cabin and taking a nap.

This is a typical practice of not cultivating the Dao, but it is also difficult for them to listen to the truth of this great enlightenment.

There are thousands of people in this world, and disciples should also teach them according to their aptitude.

Lu Fengqiu understood why Patriarch Bodhi would accept Sun Monkey as an outlier in the first place.

Excluding other reasons, presumably the Bodhi Patriarch who preached and taught the profession also thought about teaching Sun Monkey to adulthood.

Lu Fengqiu didn't knock Xiaoqing and Lu Xiaohua either, but continued: "Whether you are born or enter the WTO, if you are born in the world, if you are just blindly born, blindly look on coldly, blindly look at it, blindly be high, blindly do not eat the fireworks of the world, and don't want to do something practical, enter the WTO, in the end, it will be "idle and white." ”

"In the eyes of most people, Confucianism advocates joining the WTO, Buddhism, and Taoism advocate birth, but in fact, this is not necessarily the case."

"Let's take the thought of Taoist Zhuangzi as an example, why not join the WTO?"

"Only by denying can there be great affirmation, and only by throwing away those insignificant little things can we concentrate on the big things that are really valuable."

"His heart is cold, because it is white-hot."

"In order to go deep into this world, you must first get out of this world, and this is the true nature of Taoism."

"A lot of cultivators often ask what it is, what is their own way."

"But many people have asked thousands of times, but they can't understand their own Dao heart."

"Therefore, even if many people are strong in magic, they can't really enter the Tao and attain the Dao."

"What, then, is the Tao?"

At this time, Lu Fengqiu stopped again and looked at Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian.

"Hanwen, do you understand, what is your own way?"

"Suzhen, do you understand, where is your way?"

Bai Suzhen was completely confused.

She has practiced for more than a thousand years, just to return to the truth and rank in the immortal class.

You can think of this as a lifelong pursuit, an ideal, a goal.

It's like a person who aspires to be the CEO of a group when he grows up, or wants to be a scientist, or wants to be a rap player who can speak, sing, and dance.

However, why would you want to be such a person?

Bai Suzhen asked herself in her heart.

Perhaps it is out of the instinct of life, whether it is a human or a demon, they want to live forever.

And being able to rank in the immortal class is tantamount to being immortal.

However, this does not seem to have anything to do with one's own way.

"What is your own way?"

Bai Suzhen was completely confused.

The difference between a person who has a teacher and who does not have a teacher is here.

If Bai Suzhen is allowed to practice by herself, I am afraid that it will be a long time before she thinks of such a question.

Why did Lu Fengqiu ask Bai Suzhen such a question, because in his opinion, the reason why Bai Suzhen was one step closer to turning to the truth was because she didn't understand why she wanted to turn to the truth.

I don't understand why I want to tirelessly pursue the rank of immortal class.

This is not understanding the Dao mind, not knowing the Dao mind.

That's why she went through the calamity.

The reason why some practitioners in the human world can attain the Tao in just a few decades is because they understand what their own Tao is.

Taoism, Taoism.

If you don't know the way, you only practice the Fa, and after all, it's a castle in the air.

Even if there are thousands of spells and all kinds of magical powers, after all, he is just a reckless man who has nothing to show for himself.

Xu Xian is also like Bai Suzhen, who can't quite understand his own way.

Perhaps, he just wanted to move the mountain on his body after seeing his previous life.

Perhaps, he just wanted to end this cause and effect with Bai Suzhen.

Xu Xian was also very confused.

At this time, Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen waved their hands at Lu Fengqiu at the same time and said, "Please give me advice!" ”

……

Just when Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen were confused because their Dao hearts were unclear.

In the Fahai of Jinshan Temple, there is also the same confusion.

Fahai was still sitting in the Buddha hall.

It's just that the former golden-bodied Buddha already has mottled traces.

There is dust and mottles on the Buddha's body, which shows that the Buddha is very dissatisfied with his practice.

Fahai understands this very well.

However, Fahai did not understand why the Buddha was so dissatisfied with his approach.

Did he do something wrong?

Shouldn't he accept Tianzun's golden pill?

However, Tianzun is here to settle grievances.

Buddhism pays attention to being kind to others, and it is better to settle grievances than to settle them.

What's more, that golden pill should have belonged to my Fahai.

Fahai folded his hands, looked up at the golden-bodied Buddha, and asked softly: "Buddha, Buddha, can you tell the little monk what is wrong with the little monk!" ”

Whoa!

The gold paint on the golden Buddha statue is falling again, and it keeps falling.

Fahey's closed hands couldn't help but tremble.

"Could it be that it's because the little monk received the golden pill? The Buddha is going to condemn the little monk! ”

"The little monk doesn't understand!"

Fahai was still talking.

The gold paint on the golden Buddha statue kept falling, and in the end, even the Buddha hall began to shake!

Buddha statues must have the tendency to tilt and fall.

The earth at the foot of Fahai will crack!

Fahai's forehead was covered with sweat, and there was a string of Buddhist beads around his neck, which he put on his hands.

Fahai frowned, his eyes closed, and his hands folded.

Finally, Fahai spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Fahai opened his eyes.

He looked up at the statue of the Buddha that had lost only half of his golden body, and said, "The Buddha thinks that the little monk is wrong, but the little monk thinks that the little monk is not wrong." ”

"The little monk cultivates the Buddha's law, and today the Buddha condemned the little monk, and the little monk has no complaints."

"The little monk is gone, the little monk is going to go to the world, and the little monk wants to see if the little monk's Buddha heart is still tough."

After saying that, Fahai bowed down to the golden body of Rulai again, and then resolutely stepped out of the door of the Buddha hall.

At this moment, Fahai's body was full of blood and water, but his face was full of fortitude (refer to Zhao Wenzhuo's face in the Green Snake).

The clouds in the sky were a little gloomy, and the sun hid behind the clouds.

Fahai looked at a certain place in the sky, where there seemed to be colorful auspicious clouds.

……

On the water of the West Lake, the light boat is still the same.

Lu Fengqiu looked at the two disciples who were sincerely seeking the Tao, and said with a slight smile: "There was once a person who asked the same question to the deity. ”

He also asked the deity what the Tao was.

"At that time, the deity returned to him, and the Tao was the coexistence of heaven and man, yin and yang."

"However, if he asks the deity again today, the deity will reply to him, and the way is to be a good person."

"Be a self-respecting, self-reliant, self-loving, and confident person."

At this time, Lu Fengqiu's body was full of the brilliance of wisdom.

The rain gradually stopped, and the clouds in the sky gradually receded.

After the rain, the first sunny day, the colorful glow fell through the clouds.

Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen looked at Lu Fengqiu, only to feel that Lu Fengqiu's figure was suddenly extremely tall, and they had a feeling of listening to the immortal sound in front of the vast years.

The next moment, Lu Xiaohua stretched her waist, yawned and said, "Huh? The rain stopped? The sun is out! ”

"I'm going fishing, eat fish tonight!"

When Lu Fengqiu heard this, he smiled and waved his hands towards Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen.

"Alright, that's all for today's lesson."

Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen glanced at each other, and Xiaoqing woke up like a dream.

Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen bowed towards Lu Fengqiu, and when Xiaoqing saw this, she hurriedly followed.
