Chapter 47: Buddhism and Taoism
"Master, why? I can also endure hardship, more than they can endure! ”
"This layman, you have Buddha nature hidden in you, and you must have worshiped a Buddhist monk as a teacher. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info different paths of Buddhism, how can you come to worship me as a teacher again?! The old man reprimanded.
Qiu Ming was stunned, he had Buddha nature, and he was seen through by this old Taoist at a glance?
If you can't complete the main quest 1, let alone the rest of it. Qiu Ming really plans to stay in this world for a while longer, but he doesn't plan to stay for the rest of his life!
"Master, you said that the Buddha's path is different, but the path is the same. I have studied a little bit of Buddhism, but the only thing I got by chance is the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, which is the most basic text. The disciple's heart is to the Dao Fa, why doesn't the master be gracious and accept me from the entrance wall? ”
Qiu Ming must fight for himself, isn't the old way in the cartoon very easy to talk to? Wang Shouzhong also said a few words just now, and he succeeded in apprenticeship?
Lao Dao's brows furrowed, different paths to the same end? This sentence seems to imply many truths. This son doesn't seem to be lying, and his heart is firm, but he has never seen a fellow practitioner of Buddhism and Taoism.
However, I heard that some people first cultivated the Dharma, and then cultivated the Dharma, and also became a first-class figure of the earth immortals.
Well, maybe you can give it a try, if it is feasible, it seems that the bottleneck that has stuck him for so many years can be broken through by another way.
"Do you know that the Dharma and the Tao will conflict with each other, and in the end, there is a high possibility that not only will they not be able to achieve anything, but they may also cause conflicts and endanger their lives!"
What? If you practice the Dharma, you may die if you cultivate the Dharma again?!
It's only possible, not certain. Besides, if he doesn't worship the Laoshan faction, when will his mission be completed? Do you really want to live in this barren world for the rest of your life?
Qiu Ming gritted his teeth: "The disciple is willing to try, and I implore the master to accept me as an apprentice." ”
"There is another way, I will first dissolve your Buddha nature, and then you will cultivate the Dao Dharma, and it will not endanger your life." Lao Dao said slowly.
Turning away from the Dharma? How can that work!
Although Qiu Ming has not been practicing Buddhism for a long time, this Buddhism has saved him twice, once when the rat spirit wants to eat him, and once when the river god throws an axe at him.
What's more, Qiu Ming feels that the cultivation of the Heart Sutra is getting smoother and smoother, maybe one day he will reach what he said about quitting greed, and he can visualize the realm of a Bodhisattva or Buddha in his heart, how can it be dissolved?!
"The disciple doesn't want to dissolve the Dharma, even if I get the Buddhist scriptures occasionally, but I have also cultivated for a period of time, and I am closely related, how can I give it up easily?"
Lao Dao nodded, if Qiu Ming easily agreed to dissolve the Dharma, he would really not accept Qiu Ming as a disciple. If you can easily give up the Dharma, one day in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not easily give up the Dharma, such a disciple, he will never accept it!
"What's your name?" Lao Dao smiled at Qiu Ming.
Qiu Mingfu was so heartfelt, he immediately bowed down and kowtowed: "Disciple Qiu Ming, meet Master." ”
"Qiu Ming, you and Wang Shouzhong are both anonymous disciples, and you will not be given the name of the Tao for the time being, nor will you be given the ancestor, you will not be recorded in the roster, and you will have to undergo some tests. After you have really passed my test and become my personal disciple, I will be given the name of the Tao and preach the Tao to you, do you understand? ”
"Disciple understands."
Generally, people who are a little bit strong ~ have to be tested by accepting apprentices. It's like the Shaolin Temple in the movie, if you want to learn martial arts, don't you have to carry water first?
"It's good to understand, let Feng Zhen take you to clean up a dormitory in a while, and starting tomorrow, you and Wang Shouzhong's anonymous disciple will go to the back mountain every day to chop wood."
Chopping wood is the test of the Laoshan faction. It can test whether the disciple has perseverance and whether he can endure hardships. If you don't have either, you can't achieve anything.
Xiaodao Tong came back in a hurry: "Master, Uncle Wang's room is arranged. ”
"Feng Zhen, go and arrange a room for your Uncle Qiu again."
"Huh? I have another uncle! Xiao Daotong pouted, maybe he would leave again in two days.
Qiu Ming smiled: "Fengzhen nephew, take Uncle Shi to the room, Uncle Shi will give you candy to eat~"
Hearing that there was candy to eat, Xiao Daotong's eyes lit up, and his saliva was about to flow out. Holding Qiu Ming's hand, he quickly ran towards the courtyard to the east.
"The room is vacant and you can stay and there is bedding inside. Shen had dinner at three o'clock, and the dining hall was in the west courtyard, and the bell would be rung at that time. At a certain time, it is breakfast, and the bell will be rung. You newcomers don't need to do morning and evening classes, just go chop wood after breakfast. ”
"The water for drinking and washing is in the west courtyard, the hut is at the back of the dormitory, and the clothes will be prepared by Uncle Zhao for you at night. I'm done, what about sugar? Xiao Daotong finished speaking in one breath, and then stretched out his little hand at Qiu Ming with a look of anticipation.
"You close your eyes, I'll be you!" If the supermarket hadn't found him a few pieces of fruit candy when he bought spare things, he really didn't prepare his own candy.
When Xiao Daotong closed his eyes, Qiu Ming's right hand flicked, and a fruit candy appeared in his palm, he quickly peeled it off, received the wrapping paper into the Sumeru ring, held the sugar cube in his palm, and bent down in front of Xiao Daotong.
"Is this sugar?" Xiao Daotong had a suspicious face, the sweet candy he ate was not like this at all!
"I'm from the Northern Frontier, this is the sugar from our side, can you taste it, is it sweet?"
Xiao Daotong put the sugar in his mouth, and his eyes narrowed with a smile: "Sweet, but why is there a fruity aroma?" ”
"This candy has apple juice in it, it's delicious, right? Go play, and if you meet a merchant from the north at the bottom of the mountain one day, I'll sell it to you. Qiu Ming gave Xiao Daotong a blank check.
Experience has taught him that this kind of young person is generally easy to fool!
"Well, Uncle Qiu, next door to you is Uncle Wang, who is going up the mountain with you, I'm going to play." The little boy jumped and left.
Qiu Ming looked at the room on the left, next door...... There is an old king living there?!
There was a burst of snoring in that room, this thing really didn't recognize the bed!
Looking at the weather, Qiu Ming opened the doors and windows of the dormitory, took out the covers and dried them, although they looked very clean and did not have any strange smell, but they still had to be sterilized and disinfected.
I went to the west courtyard to fetch water and prepared to scrub the house. When he met a few Taoist priests, Qiu Ming greeted them warmly one by one, shouting senior brother in his mouth. It's a pity that everyone else seems to have some sense of distance from him, and everyone looks at him strangely.
Qiu Ming looked himself up and down, there was no problem, he was wearing a hat and his clothes were clean, could it be because he was not wearing a Taoist robe?
"Eh, Senior Brother Sun, do you guess how many days the two people who went up the mountain to apprentice this time can last? Ten days, or five days? ”
Sun Daochang frowned and reprimanded: "Senior Brother Zhao, when you first came, did I and a few senior brothers make fun of you like this?" The two of them may be able to become Master's personal disciples, our real disciples. Go and prepare robes for them, and give them to them after supper. ”
Zhao Daochang bowed his head and said yes, and left quickly, how could he forget that the senior brother doesn't like to joke.
Sun Daochang looked at Qiu Ming's back, is this the person who has practiced Buddhism that Master said? Is there really anyone who can practice Buddhism and Taoism?
