On the 10th day of the first month of September, the Zen master of the Tang Dynasty wanted to vigorously promote the Buddhism and experience he had gained in the West for ten years, and wrote to the Tang Emperor to hold a Dharma Fighting Conference. In the recital to the emperor, the monk Muyu expressed his idea to hold an outdoor unobstructed debate and fighting the Dharma to talk about the Dharma and promote the Dharma through debating the Dharma. And other monasticians are welcome to participate and learn together! And the final winner of the conference can confer the honorary title of 'Living Buddha' on the Buddha.

Li Yuan has been very bored and bored recently. There was a harmonious atmosphere above the court, and nothing major happened, and even there was very little intrigue between the ministers! The ministers seemed to be very satisfied with their own inaction, and they were eating and waiting for death every day. In the past few years, there have been no major disasters, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there have been no riots or rebellions. The surrounding borders were also surprisingly quiet, and there were no divisions between foreign tribes. Li Yuan sat in the court every day, just silently looking at the silent officials below, so boring!

On this day, I saw the recital written by the Zen master of the wooden fish to protect the country, and my heart was very happy. He hurriedly asked his subordinate officials to hurry up, and asked that the monks, mages, and Taoist masters of all sects and sects who could be notified should be notified. We can make the scale as big as we can, and we are not afraid that things will be small, but we are afraid that things will not be big enough! Finally, the debate conference is scheduled to be held in half a month.

After receiving the imperial decree from Emperor Tang, Monk Muyu quietly called Meng Liang and Jiao Zan to his abbot's room. After talking to these two stunned young men for a long time, looking at the two people who walked out in confusion, Mu Yu laughed and said: "The children can be taught, the children can be taught!"

In the blink of an eye, ten days have arrived. I saw that a one-zhang high wooden platform was built in front of the mountain gate of the Huguo Zen Temple of the Muyu monk. The wooden platform is rectangular and has a large area on it, which can seat up to 100 people.

Early this morning, as the rising sun rose, a young monk appeared on the stage. He looked at the dense crowd of people sitting under the platform and said: "The Western Heaven Debate and Fighting the Dharma Conference is now begin! The poor monk is the host of this debate meeting, and the poor monk's Dharma name is 'Huiming'. Now the poor monk will tell you about the precautions for the next conference!" Hui Ming paused, and then said: "Due to the large number of people participating in this debate conference, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the conference, reduce crowding. All the Dharma teachers who are willing to come to the stage to teach the Dharma can go to the stage one by one to talk about Zen with the disciples sent by our temple. If you defeat the master of our temple once, you can obtain the honorary title of 'Living Buddha' of our temple. Below, please invite the Dharma master of my temple, Master Meng Liang and Master Jiaozan!

I saw two monks coming up from the stairs under the stage to the left and right. I saw the monk on the left, wearing a neat and tidy gray monk's robe, with his hands folded, and a solemn face! The monk on the right, wearing a tattered black monk's robe, had his chest exposed, holding his pants in one hand, and seemed to be holding something in the other, with a hippie smile on his face! I saw that the two monks walked into the wooden platform and slowly sat down on the ground in the middle of the platform!

At this time, an old monk in the audience pushed everyone away and slowly walked up to the stage. Seeing that he walked to the center of the Dharma platform, he bowed deeply to Meng Liang Jiaozan, who was sitting high on the Dharma platform, and read in his mouth: "Amitabha, the poor monk has some unclear meanings, and he has come to ask for advice." ”

Then the monk said, "When the Bodhisattva of Freedom is in the depths of Prajnaparamita, he sees that the aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering. The relics are not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and the same is true when you want to know it. The relics are the emptiness of all the laws, neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor pure, neither increased nor decreased......".

Listening to the old monk keep talking, Meng Liang is so sleepy! Look at Na Jiaozan, I saw that Na Jiaozan seemed to be asleep, and there was still snot bubbles on his nose, and the one he slept on was called fragrant! Meng Liang secretly thought in his heart that he had to think of a way quickly, or he would lose the first game!

The monk who only listened was still saying, "There is no suffering to gather and destroy the Tao, and there is no wisdom to gain." With no gain, Bodhisattva, according to Prajnaparamita, has no hindrances, no obstacles, no fears, is far away from upside-down dreams, and is nirvana. The Buddhas of the three worlds, according to Prajnaparamita, attained the three bodhisattvas of Anuttara. Therefore, it is known that Prajnaparamita is a great mantra, a great mantra, a supreme mantra, and an unequal mantra, which can remove all suffering, and it is true. Therefore, to say the Prajnaparamita mantra is to say the mantra: "Revealing the Truth, Revealing the Truth, revealing the Truth, revealing the Bodhisattva Bhaha......"

Meng Liang listened and listened, his head was big, and his ears were full of things that were 'have' and what 'nothing'. Thinking about it, I saw Meng Liang suddenly stand up from the futon, take out a ring ruler from his arms, walk in front of the old monk, hit the top of the old monk's head with the ring ruler, and then said loudly: "You monk, you can know that 'nothing' is 'have', 'have' or 'nothing'."

I saw the monk standing on the spot, stunned for a long time, and suddenly the monk was full of tears, knelt down at Meng Liang's feet in pain, kissed the surface of his feet, and shouted in a loud voice: "Thank you, master, for giving me advice, allowing the disciple to have an epiphany and open the way, and solving the disciple's biggest question for many years!"

When they saw the old monk on the stage, everyone realized that it was Master Tzuyun of the Puhua Temple on Mount Wutai! Thinking about the great name that Master Tzuyun had created over the years because he specialized in Buddhism, everyone realized that this monk Meng Liang's mastery of the teachings of Buddhism must have been very profound and skillful! Moreover, it is estimated that the profound and brilliant has fallen to a very high level.

At this time, another middle-aged monk suddenly walked up to the stage angrily, pointing at Jiao Zan, who was still sleeping, and shouted: "Buddhism pays attention to the precepts of pure cultivation and cannot kill, why do you monk hide chicken legs in your arms!" Everyone in the audience looked at it, and it turned out to be the master of the precept hall of Shaolin Temple, Juezhen Monk. This monk is usually jealous and hateful, and the punishment for monks who dare to violate the precepts is very severe!

I saw that Jiao Zan slowly stretched his waist, slowly raised his head, and said in the same loud voice, "Don't that monk, you are wrong! What I have hidden in my arms is not a chicken leg, but a 'dog' leg!" In everyone's surprised eyes. I saw Jiao Zan take out the dog's leg from his arms and bite it hard! Suddenly, I saw that Jiao Zan was covered in golden light, and accompanied by the sound of Buddha coming from afar! I only heard that Jiao Zan slowly reciting in the golden light: "You evil dog, you have bitten countless people in your life, you should have fallen into reincarnation, and then for the evil dog, enjoy the **** life, fortunately, there are poor monks who bite you back countless bites! The poor monk will give you supreme merit, so that you will not enter the 'animal' path in the next life! You are so self-conscious, hurry up and go to reincarnation." , I saw that after a red light, there was no trace of the dog's leg in an instant!

Monk Juezhen clasped his hands together and said reverently: "My Buddha is merciful, thank you to the Master for surpassing the soul and making him return to the Western Heaven Elysium!", after speaking, he bowed deeply and retreated backwards from the Dharma platform!

Only Jiao Zan was secretly proud, and said in his heart: "What the master said is really right, most people in the world believe what they see in their eyes, so most people who pretend to be gods and ghosts can make most people believe that you are the real Buddha! instead of feeling what is the Dharma and what are the real Buddha's merits!"

Then another Taoist priest walked up to the stage! The Taoist priest walked to the center of the stage, made a joke and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the poor Tao is polite!" Then the Taoist priest took out a piece of white paper from his arms, tore it into pieces, and threw it in the air! I saw that the pieces of paper were flying chaotically in the air, and suddenly they gathered together again, turning into a white bird, flying happily in the air!

Jiao Zan looked at the Taoist priest with admiration on his face, and whispered to Meng Liang next to him: "Brother, this person's tricks are much stronger than ours back then! It turned out that Meng Liang and Jiao Zan walked the rivers and lakes in a small way, and made friends with more chickens and dogs. In order to make a living, I also learned some tricks in the rivers and lakes. Looking at the performance of the Dao person, Meng Liang, who was quick-eyed, had already seen the appearance of the Dao man when he quietly took out the bird from his arms. couldn't help but hold his mouth, and said disdainfully: "It's okay to watch, but it's a little slow in my hands!" Jiao Zan said, seeing that the Taoist priest's two hands are stretched out into his arms, I guess the flint in his hand is burning inside, and it is estimated that he will attack with fire in a while!" Meng Liang looked at the green smoke rising from the Taoist priest's arms, and secretly said that it was not good, and he really wanted to use fire, so he hurriedly threw the teapot in front of him towards the Taoist priest. Listening to the screams in the mouth of the Taoist priest and the snorting sound coming from his arms, Meng Liang thought to himself that he was really going to attack with fire, and it was right for me to strike first. When Jiao Zan saw his brother make a move, how could he hold back in his heart, and hurriedly took out his self-defense weapon from his arms and threw it towards the top of the Taoist priest's head. I heard the Taoist priest scream miserably, and he fell from the high platform. On the stage fell a polished smooth 'brick', shining in the sun!

I saw the man standing up from the ground covered in mud, his face full of panic. Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to ask him what the situation was, why the fairy bird suddenly disappeared, and as soon as he saw a white smoke rise, you fell off the stage.

How dare this person tell the truth, for the sake of his reputation among the sect, he can only say solemnly: "The two senior monks on the stage are really clever in their means. Just now I released that fairy bird, ready to attract the attention of those two high monks. Then I am ready to cast the five fires of my Dao Gate. Although I knew that the two eminent monks were unmoved, they casually cast a Buddhist Dharma seal and knocked me off the stage! The two powerful monks on the stage have infinite mysteries, and they really make the old Taoist admire!" After finishing speaking, the Taoist hurriedly hid his hand that was burned by his own flint, squeezed through the crowd, and Fei seemed to have to escape. Looking at the gray back of the man, people secretly said, the level of the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master of this Dragon and Tiger Mountain is only like this, it seems that these two monk masters are indeed exquisite Buddhism, profound Buddhism, and high strength!

Looking at the two guys on the stage, watching them do things according to the way they were told to do things, 'Just say what you say, if you can't say it, you must hit it first!'. Monk Muyu smiled slightly, stood quietly in the crowd and looked around, carefully observing the performance of the people in the crowd!

Looking at it, I suddenly found an old man like a rich man, only to see him looking at the performance in the field, instead of cheering like everyone else, but showing disdain.

So the monk Muyu hurriedly stepped forward and asked the old man if he had any different opinions, only to hear the old man say, "It's actually some charlatan's tricks, don't look at it!" When he had finished speaking, the old man turned and left. Mu Yu hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Everyone in the world is blinded by the illusion in front of them, and likes to believe what they see in front of them, and cheer for it!

I saw that the old man turned around, his eyes were empty, and he said slowly: "Everything has a cause and effect! Everything in front of you is illusory, what you see may not be the truth, you must feel everything in the world with your heart! If you don't want to think about it, you will be rewarded." After finishing speaking, the old man bowed to the wooden fish monk and turned to leave. Muyu hurriedly followed closely behind.

Then he found that the old man had suddenly disappeared, as if he had disappeared into thin air. Muyu felt the old man's breath that was gone, carefully understood what the old man said, and fell into deep thought!

Tang Emperor Li Yuan was very angry, really angry. Originally, I planned to provoke those monks and cultivators to fight among themselves through a fighting method, but who knew that the debate and fighting method conference would end in one day. I don't know where two monks with superb mana popped out, and they actually made thousands of people who participated in the debate and fighting the law conference, and they didn't dare to ask a question, just like seeing their own founding ancestor, full of reverence. Not only did it not hit the monk's power, but on the contrary, it made them even more believers! Moreover, there were two more living Buddhas in the Huguo Temple, one Meng Liang Living Buddha and one Jiaozan Living Buddha! The more Li Yuan thought about it, the more angry he became, and he kicked the table in front of him and fell all over the ground!
