Chapter 318 The true meaning of the Buddha, thousands of miles away

Hearing that Huo Yuanzhen was wrong, Ayuka frowned and didn't make a sound, and King Vajra said: "I also remember, the Buddha became a Buddha and came to the world, and this is what he said, what's wrong?"

Huo Yuanzhen said: "There is nothing wrong with this sentence, the poor monk said that you understood it wrong." ”

"Hmph, what's wrong with this, heaven and earth, for me, it is very obvious that the Buddha in the world is the greatest, and there is no fault at all for the Buddha. ”

"Not only wrong, but outrageously wrong. ”

Huo Yuanzhen glanced at King Vajra, turned to King Suo Luo and those ministers who had been listening, and said: "The true meaning of the Buddha's words is mainly reflected in the word "I", this word "I" not only refers to the Buddha himself, but refers to every person of all mankind, the correct interpretation of this sentence should be: Man is standing on top of the heavens and the earth in the universe, and everyone is their own master, deciding their own destiny, and does not have to obey anyone or any superhuman god, all enlightenment, achievement, and attainments, which are entirely due to people's own efforts and intelligence. ”

After saying this, Huo Yuanzhen turned his head to look at King Vajra: "It's not that if you believe in the Buddha, you will definitely be able to go to heaven, and if you don't believe in the Buddha, you must go to hell. ”

King Vajra was stunned for a moment, but he was still arguing: "The Buddha has supreme wisdom and is unique between heaven and earth, so how can he not be the only one?"

"His Holiness is even more wrong in saying this, don't you hear that all living beings have Buddha nature, all living beings can become Buddhas, and there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, so if the Buddha becomes a Buddha, there will be no other people or living beings who become Buddhas?"

"No, what you said is light, so according to what you said, my Vajra Dharma King can also become a Buddha?"

Huo Yuanzhen smiled: "The Buddha just pointed out the path to Buddhahood for us, but this road is to complete it with perseverance, wisdom, and perseverance.

As he spoke, Huo Yuanzhen turned to the people around him: "Buddha is not unique, everyone can become a Buddha, there can be a Buddha everywhere, not only in this world. ”

After speaking, Huo Yuanzhen paused: "The starry sky outside is vast, one star is another world, countless starry sky makes up the universe, and there can be Buddhas on countless planets in the universe." Although the Buddha has boundless power, he is not a god, but a realm, and the Buddha does not admit that there is a real god. ”

Having said this, the king of Sara, who was sitting on the throne, was finally interested.

Originally, he was very dissatisfied with seeing this new colt trespass into the temple without permission, but he himself is also a person who believes in Buddhism, and he also has research on Buddhist knowledge, but now that Buddhist scriptures are scarce, he himself is not very familiar with many things, and when he heard the following colt talking, he finally couldn't help but ask.

"Then why don't you see anyone else becoming a Buddha?"

Huo Yuanzhen looked at the king of Suluo on the throne and smiled: "The poor monk is still the same sentence, the Buddha has pointed out the way, how to go down is with the person himself, there is no shortcut to becoming a Buddha, practice is a little bit of effort, without a cold bone, the plum blossoms are fragrant?"

"Okay! What a good one without a cold bone, the plum blossoms are fragrant!"

As soon as Huo Yuanzhen's voice fell, Ayuka next to him applauded loudly and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "Monk, what you said is good, although I, Ayurka, do not believe in the Buddha, but I agree with your last sentence." ”

Huo Yuanzhen smiled at Ayuka, although this person is full of blood, but he does not distort his temperament. ..., the more Huo Yuanzhen said here, the more King Vajra's face became ugly, but he was still arguing with himself: "I don't think so, the Buddha said, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, doesn't it mean that as long as you can repent and become a Buddha, you can become a Buddha." ”

Huo Yuanzhen glanced at King Vajra with some pity: "There is nothing wrong with putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot, but it does not mean that you can become a Buddha immediately, but that you have a good heart, and the most basic conditions for becoming a Buddha. ”

Hearing Huo Yuanzhen speak, King Suluo on the throne nodded frequently, this monk's Tao is not shallow, listening to him for a while, he actually has a feeling of empowerment.

Only Princess Nivea was a little pale, the colt she chose was so good, but such an excellent person, would it really belong to her?

King Sara even said a little excitedly: "Hearing the words of the concubine, this king has some thoughts, it seems that after Nivea is married, this king should find an opportunity to pass the throne to Ayurka, and then find a quiet and uninhabited mountain alone to go to the Dharma, and strive to go to Elysium in the future." ”

Huo Yuanzhen glanced at King Suoluo, this king has not given up the idea of letting himself be a concubine, he is really persistent, but it doesn't matter, he will let him give up.

He said to King Suo: "Your Majesty, the poor monk would like to remind you that if you go to the mountains alone to cultivate, you may not be able to go to Elysium, let alone become a Buddha." ”

"Why is that?" said King Suo.

"Don't you hear that the Buddhist scriptures have clouds: Buddhism is in the world, not leaving the world, and seeking Bodhi when leaving the world is just like looking for a rabbit's horns. ”

Huo Yuanzhen said a Buddhist scripture, and then said: "This means that cultivation must be in the world, and enlightenment must also be in the world. ”

"Oh, I see, I didn't listen to what the master said about the horse, but the king thought that the cultivation should be in the deep mountains. ”

Huo Yuanzhen said with a smile: "There is a world of bliss, don't hate the world, the Western world of bliss, the Eastern glass world, the central world of Bosa and other pure lands are used to aspire to, only turning the world into a pure land, turning hell into bliss, is the ultimate wish and goal of my Buddha." ”

When Huo Yuanzhen finished saying the last few words, he had already stood up and had the heart to give a salute to Huo Yuanzhen, but the other party was the horse chosen by his daughter, and he wanted to do it without giving a salute, which was really a dilemma.

When King Vajra heard this, he finally realized that it was absolutely impossible for him to defeat the monk in front of him in terms of the teachings of the Dharma, and that this person was the one who understood the true meaning of the Dharma, and that he himself did not even understand the skin, and that everything he was saying now was just taught by someone.

Looking left and right, the few disciples behind him were all incompetent people, and it was impossible to help him, so King Vajra had the idea of leaving temporarily, but he couldn't find a suitable excuse for a while.

There was a brief cold scene in the scene, Huo Yuanzhen looked at everyone in the field with blazing eyes, at this moment, Ayuka seemed to be also in deep thought, obviously his own words also touched him.

If you can let the future greatest king of the Mauryan Empire comprehend the Dharma in advance, it will be considered a merit yourself.

After a while, King Suo Luo finally asked again: "If you don't practice in the deep mountains, won't this red dust mess up my heart?"

"The only person who can mess with your heart is yourself, not these three thousand red dust. ”

Huo Yuanzhen secretly applauded in his heart, this King Suo Luo is really cooperative, so he has already talked about the topic. ..., he continued: "It is not impossible for one person to practice and one person to attain enlightenment, but even in the end, even if that kind of practice is in the end, it will only benefit you alone, and at most you can attain the Arhat position, which is the Hinayana Buddhism, which is the Dharma that Tianzhu is learning now. ”

Speaking of this problem, King Vajra, who was already desperate, suddenly found Huo Yuanzhen's flaw, and said next to him: "Isn't what you monk said nonsense, now there is only Hinayana Buddhism, and the scriptures of Hinayana Buddhism are not complete, which one to learn if you don't learn this?"

As soon as he said his words, the people next to him nodded one after another, although what the monk said was good, but in the end it came back to the fundamental question, without Buddhist scriptures, how to learn Buddhism?

Finally talking about the most critical issue, Huo Yuanzhen was also in a mood, looked around, and said: "The world is so big, not only Tianzhu has Buddhist scriptures. ”

King Vajra sneered, "There are no Buddhist scriptures in Tianzhu, is it possible that there are Buddhist scriptures in the Tang Dynasty?"

"Not bad!"

Huo Yuanzhen took a step forward, and his voice unconsciously became a little louder: "The Tang Dynasty not only has Buddhist scriptures, but also Mahayana Buddhism. ”

"Mahayana Buddhism!"

King Suo Luo looked excited: "Now the only scriptures I have in Tianzhu are just a few Hinayana teachings, I don't know if what I said is true?"

Huo Yuanzhen was a little helpless about the King of Suluo who stubbornly called himself a horse, but now he couldn't care about it, so he walked to the center of the hall and said: "Yes, the poor monk has the Mahayana Buddhism Sanzang, which can surpass the dead and ascend to heaven, can overcome the suffering of the unsuffered, can solve the knot of a hundred grievances, and can eliminate the disaster of no reason." ”

When King Suluo heard Huo Yuanzhen confirm that he had Mahayana Buddhism, he finally couldn't hold it back, walked down from the throne, and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "But I don't know where your Mahayana Buddhism is?"

Huo Yuanzhen turned his head to face the king of Suoluo, and said solemnly: "That Mahayana teaching, now I am in the Tang Henan, in the Songshan Shaolin Temple of the poor monk!"

King Suo Luo was even more excited when he heard this, and said to King Vajra beside him: "National teacher, you are from the Tang Dynasty, and the horse is also from the Tang Dynasty, presumably this Tang Dynasty is not very far from my Tianzhu." ”

Seeing that King Suoluo's attitude towards Huo Yuanzhen was getting better and better, King Vajra felt a little uncomfortable, and said coldly: "It's really not far, you have to go through mountains and rivers, and if you don't take the wrong road, it is estimated that it will take two years." ”

"Go for two years!"

King Sara was surprised and said, "How far is that?"

"It's not far, it's estimated to be 108,000 miles. ”

Hearing what King Kong finished speaking, Huo Yuanzhen almost laughed out loud, this King Kong was so cooperative, he really made a hundred and eight thousand miles.

But that's fine, let's see if the king of Tianzhu has the confidence to go to Shaolin to get his own scriptures.

Tianzhu matter, now is the real critical moment!
