Chapter 67: The Buddha's Path?

In the history that Ye Qingxuan knows, even though there are great virtues and monks in Buddhism, there is no shortage of those domineering people.

Buddhism and Taoism, in the history of I don't know how many times they have clashed, from the secular belief in the temple and Taoist temple construction, to assist the emperor to contribute to the royal force, where one side has the upper hand, then the other side will often usher in disaster.

In history, the emperor's actions to destroy the Buddha and the Tao are unknown, but on the whole, as far as Ye Qingxuan knows, Buddhism still has the upper hand.

The purpose of the Daomen is to cultivate one's own body, advocating the use of the flesh as a treasure raft to cross the world, practice qi alchemy, adjust the barrier from the dragon and tiger, and finally seek the perfection of a primordial god, and then can live forever and be free between heaven and earth, so the practice of the Daomen is to practice this life without seeking the next life.

But this is too difficult, it's like a fantasy, even if there is a legend that Peng Zushou is better than Nanshan, and Sanfeng is a real game in the world, but this is just a legend.

Most of the historical records are examples of a certain emperor who was greedy for immortality and ordered a Taoist priest to refine the immortal elixir, and as a result, he died after taking it.

But Buddhism is different from Taoism, Buddhism practices merit, compassion, enlightenment, pay attention to the reincarnation should be said, they think that the accumulation of virtue in this life can be good for the next life, even if the evil things in this life are done, as long as you turn back to the shore, sincerely worship the Buddha, then this life will be fruitful in the next life, and the next life will naturally be rich and auspicious, Buddhism is more publicized, if you are honest in this life to worship the Buddha, do good deeds and accumulate virtue, you can enter the world of bliss after death.

Although this kind of thing in the afterlife is as ethereal as immortality, it is almost unobtainable compared to immortality, and those emperors who died violently by taking pills are examples.

The saying of the afterlife is always to give the believer a thought, this Daomen is incomparable, and I don't disdain it, what the Daomen seeks is to be quiet and natural, the avenue is Hengyi, if you believe in me, it is convenient for me to practice the avenue together, if you don't believe in yourself, you can spit on me and scold me, and I will not change my Taoist heart.

Even if Ye Qingxuan is so eager to spread Taoism, he will only do some guidance and enlightenment work as he does now, and will never go against the original intention of Taoism to forcibly confuse believers to believe in religion.

What kind of narration book, showing miracles is just a gimmick to attract pilgrims to the door, Ye Qingxuan never instigates reluctant pilgrims, they believe it, even if Ye Qingxuan is anxious, but he will not tempt pilgrims to believe in it by demagoguery such as promising immortality.

Although Buddhism and Taoism are all about exhorting people to do good, and fundamentally speaking, they are all righteous paths, but because of the different fundamental ideas, it is difficult for the two religions to flow together.

Compared with immortality, which has little hope, it is often easier for people to pin their faith in the Buddha and seek wealth in the next life.

This point, even the emperor is not exempt from vulgarity, compared to the immortality that the example of failure is right in front of him, what if the afterlife that no one has ever seen before is real?

Therefore, in the history that Ye Qingxuan knew, Buddhism flourished, and Taoism also declined, even if it rose for a while, it would soon disappear again.

In essence, the world where Ye Qingxuan was originally located was no different from the current world, but this world was even more miserable, the Dao Gate was almost extinct, and the people didn't hear what the Tao was.

Such thoughts flashed quickly in Ye Qingxuan's mind, but it was just a moment of stunning, and there was anger in his heart, Ye Qingxuan's cautious temper came up, and naturally he would not just walk away like this, so he turned around with a sneer, waved the dust in his hand, and looked at the old monk.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the poor Dao has its own Dao of the Poor Dao, the Tianzun Patriarch who worships the Poor Dao, although your Dharma is good, it is not what the Poor Dao seeks!" Ye Qingxuan's voice was indifferent and leisurely.

When the old monk heard this, he first showed a look of compassion and compassion on his face, and then sighed, "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, everyone in the world is suffering, my Buddha is merciful, and I have passed down the Dafa of Enlightenment to cross the world, donor, you must know that the sea of suffering is boundless, and you must turn back to the shore!"

The pilgrims of Buddhism on the side saw it, and they also secretly sighed in their hearts that the master was compassionate, and they all folded their hands towards the old monk and called the master merciful.

But this old monk really underestimated Ye Qingxuan, what a person Ye Qingxuan is, he didn't like Buddhism in his heart, and everything this old monk did in his eyes was extremely false, so he naturally wouldn't be bewitched by him.

Ye Qingxuan stood in place, his eyes were indifferent, his Dao heart was stable and comfortable, and he was unmoved, persevering, and getting closer and closer to the nature of the Dao.

In front of the temple, the old monk was dressed in Baoguang glass, and Ye Qingxuan, who was dressed in a plain Taoist robe not far away, formed a strong contrast.

There are pilgrims who know Ye Qingxuan on the side, even if they are more inclined to Buddhism in their hearts, but they have to admit that compared with this old monk, Ye Qingxuan's bearing is not inferior at all, and even they have a moment of trance, the old monk is full of treasure, but he is inferior, not as close to nature as Qingxuan Daochang.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Ye Qingxuan glanced at the old monk lightly, and then said leisurely, "This master, you claim that the sea of suffering is boundless, and turning back is the shore, is it possible that your Buddhism Dafa only teaches believers to turn back? If you don't strengthen your Dao heart and move forward bravely, then how can you reach the other side?"

"The donor's words are wrong!" The old monk was stunned when he heard this, and the look of suffering on his face was even worse, "Everyone in the world is suffering, so there is a sea of suffering, my Buddha passed down enlightenment, which is to persuade the world to practice the Dharma, realize wisdom, and then transcend the sea of suffering, if everyone in the world can realize enlightenment, then the sea of suffering naturally does not exist, and everyone can go to the other side!"

"I expected you to say that!" Ye Qingxuan laughed in his heart when he heard this, but his face was impassive, "Then according to what the master said, this sea of suffering in your mouth only exists because of this world?"

But when an evil person does evil, he naturally makes others miserable, so what is the suffering of a good person doing good?

In this way, isn't this good person innocent? Then why do they still need to practice the Dharma in order to be free? The Buddha's Dharma is immeasurable, so how can a childish and good person not be able to directly transcend the sea of suffering?

If the wicked and the good are all grown up from the child, if the child is ignorant and detached, then the wicked do not exist, the good man is not there, then the sea of suffering naturally does not exist, I don't know why the master said the Buddha, why not do this way?"

"This!" The old monk was sophistry by Ye Qingxuan for a while, and said a little confused, he had never seen anyone explain the bitter sea like this, and after being stunned in his heart, he couldn't help but be angry, this is simply blasphemy against the Buddha!

Before the old monk could speak, Ye Qingxuan continued to say lightly, "I am the upper body of the heavenly heart, the lower body is the way of nature, the practice of my own body, and I use myself as the treasure raft of the world.

Not to mention that the sea of suffering is false, even if there is really a sea of suffering, then I, a monk of the Taoist Sect, naturally uphold the perseverance of the Tao heart, practice the Great Dao, cross the so-called sea of suffering with my own body, and only go to the other shore to seek all kinds of truths.

What I cultivate, just for this life not to seek the next life, what I seek, is just the truth of the truth of the universe of heaven and earth, the master of Buddhism is profound, I ask for your next life, I ask for your glass enlightenment, poor Tao, but I dare not hope for extravagance. ”

"Nan Wu Amitabha, donor, you are in love!" The old monk heard Ye Qingxuan's words, but his face was full of compassion, and then he folded his hands, pronounced a Buddha name, and then said, "Donor, if you are sinking like this, you will inevitably go on the evil path, and you will sink into the sea of suffering for eternity!"

"Then don't worry about Master Lao!" Ye Qingxuan turned the dust whisk in his hand, elegant and indifferent, "Poor Dao, there is a poor Dao law, and the words of the Outer Dao can mess with my Dao heart?"

"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, the sea of bitterness is boundless, and turning back is the shore!" The old monk saw that he couldn't persuade Ye Qingxuan, so he took up the Dharma of Buddhism and proclaimed the Buddha's name.

For a time, reflecting the sunset, the old monk's whole body bloomed, as if the real Buddha had descended, and it looked sacred and solemn.

Seeing this, the pilgrims and believers on the side couldn't help but bow down to the old monk and chant Buddhist scriptures.

Ye Qingxuan snorted coldly, not showing weakness is also luck innate magic skill, a light but bright Dao Sect mantra bloomed from Ye Qingxuan's mouth, "Zha!

Kneeling to the heavens and kneeling to the gods, individuals have their own ways in their hearts. Now that the monk is pretending to be a Buddha, how can he mess with me in all my truth!?"

"Hahaha!" After Ye Qingxuan finished speaking, he laughed loudly, flicked his sleeve robe and walked into the distance, and said as he walked, "The Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain, the Sanqing Tianzun is preachy, the poor Dao has come from the mountains, and the heart of the Dao has not changed to Qingxuan!"
