Chapter 260: Controversy
Qiu Ming and the three of them also traveled to many places during this time, but what surprised Qiu Ming was that he saw too many temples, including monks and nuns, but he did not see a single Taoist temple. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He asked them to refrain from greed, is there only one faith in Buddhism in this world? Quit greed The three of them looked at Qiu Ming with very strange eyes at that time, Buddhism is so good, if you don't believe in Buddhism, what do you believe?
The appearance of the three people seemed to suspect that Qiu Ming had fallen into a demon.
Qiu Ming has also learned in detail, not that the Buddhist concepts in this world are bad, in fact, most of the Buddhist concepts in this world are very in line with Qiu Ming's three views, such as guiding people to goodness, such as planting cause and effect, such as keeping precepts, forbearance and humiliation, diligence and so on.
Moreover, Buddhism in this world often has miracles revealed, just like the projection of the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva that Qiu Ming saw, and many Buddhas, Ming kings, Bodhisattvas, etc., will send down miracles to solve some things for the people, but there are some meanings that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
But there are also some ideas that Qiu Ming doesn't quite agree with. For example, abstinence~desire, such as thinking that human beings are born full of suffering, such as dependent arising emptiness, everything is empty or something.
Of course, these are fundamental conflicts of ideas, and they are not too big, and Qiu Ming did not try to reverse the entire Buddhist teachings on his own.
In Qiu Ming's view, all Buddhism and Taoism are a kind of cultivation. The three thousand avenues can all be enlightened, and each sect has its merits.
He has practiced the secret techniques of Buddhism, the secret techniques of Taoism, and even the family heirloom exercises of refining the body, which is neither Tao nor Buddha.
Qiu Ming didn't like the Daomen and the Buddhism sect to compete for faith together, fighting endlessly or anything, but if there was only one sect in a world, even if there were many sects under it, he would feel weird.
He heard that there were other sects such as Taoism in this world, but they were not very prosperous. Today he finally met a Taoist priest, which made him very excited.
"What do you call a fellow Daoist?" Qiu Ming used the title of Daomen, but he applied the etiquette of Buddhism.
The Taoist priest on the other side was also a little surprised: "Which temple are the four Taoist friends from, the poor Dao has something to understand, and I hope that the four Taoist friends will solve the doubts of the poor Dao." ”
The idiot's eyes widened, and he circled around this Taoist priest, this is the Taoist priest? He's only heard of it, but today he actually saw it alive!
Quit greed and say directly: "Confusion is the root of trouble, it is better to join my Buddhism, listen to the teachings of the Buddha, and the confusion will naturally be gone." ”
The expression on the face of the Taoist priest was very exciting, Poor Dao wants to discuss the Tao with you, and this is not enough, you want me to give up the Taoist sect and join Buddhism?
Qiu Ming almost laughed, this Taoist priest didn't seem to understand the situation, these three people's Buddhist beliefs are very firm, in their hearts, Buddhism is everything.
"There's a gazebo three miles outside the city, let's go and sit there." Qiu Ming suggested. He wanted to hear what the Taoist priest could say in a while, and he wanted to hear how they would answer.
When they arrived at the pavilion, everyone sat down, and the Taoist priest bowed slightly: "Poor Dao Tonggong, passing by the precious land today, I found that Buddhism here is very prosperous." ”
The three of them all showed a proud look, and they were able to save more people in the world, what a great merit this is, Buddhism should flourish.
"I heard Buddhism say that you should control your desires~ desires, because everything is empty, like a dream bubble, so why do you want to practice Buddhism?"
Since you say that everything is empty and false, then what are you doing practicing Buddhism? Isn't cultivating Buddha a manifestation of desire~hope?
"The purpose of practicing Buddhism is to seek truth, to be able to see the world more truly. My desire is a grand wish, may there be no suffering in the world, and may there be no troubles in life. The idiot replied quickly.
"Since everything is empty, is it empty when you practice Buddhahood? Everything is a dream bubble, so are you a dream bubble? Is the Buddha also a dream bubble? ”
"Bold, how can you slander the Buddha!" Quit anger and say angrily.
"Poor Dao, this is asking for advice, if you can't answer, just say it." Tong Gong's face was a little colorful, and he was asked by Poor Dao, right?
Quit greed and stop resentment: "Senior brother, don't be arrogant. Everything has a way of doing things, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such. It is to warn the world not to be overly attached, many things will pass quickly, don't ...... each other"
Quit Corruption and Tong Gong debated together, Qiu Ming didn't care much about it, but after listening carefully, he felt that he had gained a lot. Some things that I didn't understand before, now I have a new understanding.
The two debated for a long time, but neither could convince anyone. At this time, Tong Gong put away his contempt, and this monk seemed to have some insight.
And the heart of quitting greed is very shocking, this Taoist priest actually has such a high level of knowledge, it seems that Taoism is not useless, which seems to be different from what he knows.
When these people were arguing, quitting anger and quitting idiots would occasionally answer a few words, and even ask a few rhetorical questions, but Qiu Ming didn't say a word the whole time, as if he was enjoying a debate competition.
Qiu Ming understood very well that the so-called question of seeking advice by this Taoist priest was to refute the abstinence of greed, and they were speechless, so as to prove the wisdom of Taoism. This is what they mean by abstaining from greed, and they want to prove the wisdom of Buddhism. But in Qiu Ming's opinion, these are really too redundant.
It's not that the big fist in this world is reasonable, but for the people, whoever can bring them more benefits, then they will believe whom, this is the most simple truth.
The final result of this controversy was to go their own way, but this made Qiu Ming have some other thoughts. He wanted to go somewhere else, to see what other sects were inherited in this world.
"Quit sex, you really don't want to go back with us?" Quit Greed frowned and asked.
"Yes, Jiese, let's go back together, it's been so long, don't you want Uncle Wuchen?" Quit Anger also said.
"No, your journey is over, mine isn't. Quit idiot, after you go back, you explain to Master, and after a while, I will go back. ”
With the three of them, Qiu Ming felt that they were walking too slowly, and they had walked so much these days. If he had used auspicious clouds to hurry, it would have been much faster.
"Okay, then you remember to come back early." The idiot nodded. Not only did he care about Qiu Ming's safety, but he also knew that Qiu Ming's strength was much stronger than theirs.
"By the way, where are you going?"
Qiu Ming stretched out his hand and pointed to the east, and his eyes also looked over: "I'm going over there, to see the sea." ”
Not only did he want to go farther away, but he also wanted to go to the sea to see if there were dragons in this world and whether there was a dragon palace in the four seas.
