Chapter 38: Finally Achieving Divine Skill
Duan Yu hurriedly stopped Mu Wanqing:
"Girl, by no means.
I am waiting to reach this immeasurable mountain, and I will worship the Buddha Amitayus with devotion and devotion. The Buddhist scriptures have clouds: There are four immeasurables, one compassion, two compassion, three joys, and four sacrifices, how can we create more karma for killing. ”
When Gao Ren heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
But thinking of this reputation of natural kindness, it is to sweep the floor and fear the lives of ants, cherish the moth gauze lamp, and want to obtain the Northern Shengong and Ling Bo Weibu, why not start here, and why use forcible means to seize without entering the stream.
So he deliberately stood on Mu Wanqing's side and said to Duan Yu:
"You nerd, they've all been poisoned by mink, and sooner or later they'll die.
It is better to let this girl kill them, so that they will not suffer more sins before they die, so that it is not merciful.
Besides, these people don't have a few lives on their hands, wouldn't this world be cleaner when they die? ”
Duan Yu did not agree with this principle, but wanted to persuade Mu Wanqing and Gao Ren with the Buddha's mercy, saying: "My Buddha is merciful, even if he is a wicked person, he can't bear to kill him." When Yu submits, persuade him to be good, influence him, and make him put down the butcher's knife......"
Before Duan Yu could finish speaking, Gao Ren interrupted him seriously:
"In that case, then we will wait here now, you first go to the West Heaven to invite the Buddha, so that you can talk about the truth of the world's great path, and influence them with great compassion.
Anyway, I don't have the time or the ability to influence them. ”
Duan Yu: "......"
Zhong Ling sneered and helped Duan Yu to relieve the siege: "Brother Gao, don't tease me Brother Duan." ”
Where is Gao Ren willing to listen to Zhong Ling's persuasion, how can he miss such a great opportunity in front of him.
I saw him jokingly say to Duan Yu:
"Why, I don't know where the West Heaven Road is?
Otherwise, if I unravel Sikong Xuan's acupoints and put you with them, I think they will be happy to send you to the Western Heaven in person. ”
Duan Yu had no choice but to pull out the records in the Buddhist scriptures and replied:
"There are clouds in the "Little Sutra": from the West, there are more than 10 trillion Buddha lands, and there is a world name called Bliss.
In the "Great Sutra", the Buddha told Ananda: The Bodhisattva has become a Buddha now, and now in the West, go here for ten trillion moments. Its Buddha world is called Anle.
From these two sutras, we can see that the paradise where the Buddha is located is very far away from us, and I am afraid that even if I walk for a lifetime, I will not be able to go anywhere. ”
Gao Ren asked rhetorically: "How do you know that what is said in this "Little Sutra" and "Great Sutra" is true? Maybe the Western Heaven Elysium is very close, but how can you know if you don't give it a try. ”
Duan Yu retorted: "The Buddhist scriptures are known to the world, and everyone in the world believes them, how can they not be true." ”
Gao Ren shook his head and asked, "If everyone in the world says and believes that the eighteenth layer of hell is heaven, do you also want to enter the eighteenth layer of hell to enjoy pure happiness?" ”
Duan Yu saw that Gao Ren intended to make things difficult, his eyes rolled, and he refuted: "The Buddha said compassion, is compassion wrong, and compassion also needs to be proven?"
Gao Ren smiled and asked, "Then have you ever seen anyone in the world who looks the same leaf, from the inside to the outside, from the body to the mind?"
What the Buddha said is the Buddha's reason, not your reason.
The Buddha has the Buddha's principles, and he can do things with his own principles.
But you are not a Buddha, you don't think of yourself, but you have to deal with your own affairs with Buddha's principles.
It doesn't mean that you have to eat, the Buddha has to be respectful, you don't know how to eat, but the Buddha knows how to be respectful.
So you learn the Buddha's devotion, but you use it as your way of eating. ”
Duan Yu was unconvinced: "The Buddha has become a Buddha, how can he be like an ordinary man." ”
Gao Ren asked rhetorically: "You are not a Buddha, how can you know that a Buddha should not be flattering?" You should go and invite the Buddha to prove that the Buddha really does not want to be flattering. ”
Duan Yu was speechless for a while: "......"
Gao Ren looked at Duan Yu's stubborn silence, and couldn't help but smile more and more, and said provocatively: "What, not convinced?" ”
Duan Yu is good at cultivating qi and kung fu, and he has not yet come out of the real fire when he arrives here, so he asked with great self-cultivation: "Then according to what Brother Gao said, isn't it that the compassion that the Buddha said and the benevolence and righteousness that the master said are useless to me, don't you think this is ridiculous?" ”
Gao Ren said: "That scholar has nothing to do and talks about his heart, and he reports to the king when he dies, isn't it ridiculous?" ”
Duan Yu's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "How can there be such a rotten Confucian in the world, how can I never hear of it." ”
Gao Ren thought that after Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty, many Confucian scholars were like this, and he couldn't help but sigh:
"The world is so big, how much is it.
The world has sexual skills and life skills, how can you only cultivate sex and not life.
If you only practice sexual skills, or only life skills, it will not be all in vain.
Therefore, there is a gradual way of self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world, teaching people to practice with their lives.
Specifically in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, there is a difference between the superior cultivation path of taking the life of the sexuality and the middle cultivation path of the life connotation. ”
In the first half of what Gao Ren said, Duan Yu still agreed, and in the second half of Gao Ren, he took Jianghu martial arts as an example, but he disagreed, and refuted:
"After people practice martial arts, what they do is either hurt or kill, which is contrary to the compassion of Buddhism.
How did I get to you, it became the way of life and cultivation.
In my opinion, instead of wasting time practicing martial arts, it is better to study Buddhism.
In the future, when the Dharma is profound, we will promote it, so as to persuade people to be good, to come well, to come to a good time. ”
"Who taught you this?" Gao Ren didn't have a good breath, "The knife can kill, can't it be used to save people?" If a robber breaks into your house, do you have to rely on your mouth to talk about your so-called Dharma, so that the robber can put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, and stop robbing your wealth and humiliating your wife and daughter? If that's the case, how is the difference between you and the scholar who has nothing to do and talks about his heart and soul and reports to the king when he dies? ”
Duan Yu: "......"
In order to convince Duan Yu, Gao Ren said:
"I know you've been smart since you were a child, and you have a knack for remembering.
He is even more humble to learn, and has studied in Dali's high monks and Confucians, and has studied Buddhist scriptures and Confucianism very deeply.
But have you ever thought about whether the principles in these Buddhist scriptures and Confucian scriptures really apply to you?
Although all people in the world are human beings, people are born with the distinction of being virtuous, foolish, wise, and unscrupulous, as well as high, low, noble, and low.
What works for a saint doesn't necessarily apply to you.
Because you may not be as wise as a saint, or you may be in a higher position than a saint was in when he walked in the world.
A saint can use his teachings to deal with the world, but you can't dogmatically use the teachings of a saint to solve your own problems.
Only what suits you is the best.
But what's right for you?
Take the study of Buddhism and the practice of martial arts as an example, learning Buddhism is to practice sexual skills.
But just by sitting and participating in meditation, how can you know that the sexual skills you are practicing are right?
If you fix it wrongly, it is small to delay yourself.
If in the future, if you take out these wrong things and govern your people, so that they can follow your example and learn these wrong truths, then you will not harm the people of Dali.
What is the difference between you doing this and those robbers who kill people.
Others only kill a few people for a while, but you harm all the people of Dali, as well as their descendants.
Therefore, we should not only cultivate sexual skills, but also cultivate life skills.
By using the method of sexual regency, first integrate the truths you have learned into your cultivation and demonstrate them one by one.
In self-cultivation, discover what is beneficial and what is harmful.
Then from self-cultivation to the Qi family, step by step and cautiously, you will expand the scope of application of the mastery you have realized in the cultivation of life, and further refine the beneficial essence.
Then he advanced to govern the country until he finally leveled the world. ”
"Duan Yu is taught." Gao Ren said this, and Duan Yu bowed convincingly.
Seeing that Duan Yu had entered his hub, Gao Ren was able to see the dagger:
"I heard that although you were born in the Duan family of Dali, you are not willing to practice the famous mastery of your own Yiyang Finger, the way of life and martial arts.
But although you don't want to practice martial arts, you have a fate with martial arts, and you accidentally got Taoist mastery such as Beiyin Shengong and Ling Bo Weibu from Lang Huan.
Well, I'll make a bet with you today.
If you can use the Northern Shengong and Ling Bo Weibu as the foundation, integrate the principles of Confucianism that you have learned, and learn the way of life and cultivation, I will teach you to deal with these Shennong Gang, and at the same time confirm whether I am reasonable or not. ”
Unexpectedly, before Duan Yu could speak, Mu Wanqing on the side broke his motive and said, "Could it be that you coveted the Northern Spiritual Skill and Ling Bo Weibu, and deliberately deceived Duan Yu by betting, right?" ”
Gao Ren touched his nose, not embarrassed for a while.
However, Duan Yu smiled slightly at this time, and said disapprovingly:
"Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, not to mention that Brother Gao has the grace of guidance, so what if Brother Gao has the grace of guidance, then Brother Gao will show him how about the Northern Shengong and Ling Bo Weibu.
It's just that there is one thing that is not good, if you learn this Northern Shengong and Ling Bo Weibu, you will have to kill all the people of the Loose Sect......"
Gao Ren was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "If you can learn the way of life and cultivation, if you say that you don't kill me, you will naturally listen to you if you don't kill me." He looked like he was afraid that Duan Yu would regret it.
Duan Yu said happily when he heard this: "That's the best." ”
