Tang Seng translated the scriptures and held a water and land conference to give lectures, but the effect was not good. The three apprentices of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Monk all saw that the people of Chang'an were not interested in the master's Enlightenment Sect, and they were very energetic at first, but after listening to it for a few days, they became drowsy, and some simply stopped coming. But the master didn't notice it at all, they all knew that what the master said was too profound for mortals to understand. Not to mention mortals, even they don't like to listen, and that's why the princess loves to learn, so she reads five thousand and forty-eight volumes of scriptures with relish.
"If you knew earlier, it would be better to ask the wordless book to come back. There is nothing, and it saves effort. Zhu Bajie likes this kind of concise and clear shortcut, there is not a word in the wordless scriptures, it is simply tailor-made for lazy people like him.
"Idiot, no matter how good the wordless scripture is, it is not something that mortals can comprehend, you don't think that you can be lazy without words, the so-called inaction and non-action, wordless but all over the world, are all the same truth. There are no words, but all the words are difficult to explain, which is impossible for mortals to learn, and it is even more difficult than Master's Dharma-only Dharma. Sun Wukong said that Zhu Bajie should not talk such nonsense.
"Aren't I worried that Master will be disappointed, you see that this land and water conference was originally lively, but now the number of people is getting smaller and smaller. After a few days, I'm afraid that there are only a few monks left, and the master will definitely be sad, after nine hundred and eighty-one years of hard to retrieve the true scriptures but few people who know the goods, isn't it wronged? Zhu Bajie is still good at considering people's hearts, he is right, Tang Seng thought that retrieving the true scriptures would save sentient beings, but the situation was that sentient beings were discouraged, and Tang Seng's hard work was not understood at all.
Sentient beings only know the sufferings of birth, old age, sickness and death, and only think about others to rescue them, but they do not know that what Western religion pays attention to is actually to save themselves. Other people's rescue only refers to the finger of the moon, and if you really want to see the moon, you still have to rely on yourself to save yourself.
But what sentient beings want is to just tell themselves about the moon, and it is best to rescue themselves from the sea of suffering in one step, so why do you have to save yourself? In this process of saving oneself, if you have the ability, why do you have to choose to become a Buddha? Wouldn't it be nice to do something else serious on your own?
Therefore, the problem faced by Tang Seng is very embarrassing, those who have the ability to learn the Wisdom Sect might as well go to participate in the imperial examination, although they cannot be separated from birth, old age, sickness and death through the imperial examination, they can complete the identity jump. And how can those who are not able to complete the leap on their own, those who are waiting for the rescue of Buddhism, learn?
Those who have the ability do not necessarily have to choose Buddhism, and those who are not capable do not have the conditions to study Buddhism.
Sun Wukong and they were anxious for the master, so they went to find Yun Yao, and the three of them didn't think of a serious way, so they asked the princess to help find more audiences, and let the master finish the water and land conference lively.
Yun Yao heard that these three were all thinking about Tang Seng, so naturally he would not postpone it, so he said: "Okay, tomorrow I will say that all the listeners who go to listen to the water and land conference will take care of the meal, and there will definitely be many people who have nothing to do to go to the meeting, and maybe there will be a few people with good qualifications who can devote themselves to Buddhism." ”
"It's a good idea." Zhu Bajie said that this method is simple and direct, just sit inside and listen to the scriptures without doing anything, and directly manage the food, and he is willing to listen.
Sun Wukong also nodded and said, "That's troublesome." However, the five thousand and forty-eight volumes of scripture are wasted, and I don't know how many people can be crossed. ”
"The people have not yet awakened, and they have not yet realized that in any era, any religion, and any proposition, they ultimately have to rely on themselves, not others, and they all have the spirit of going forward and dying, so as to complete their own goal of saving themselves." Yun Yao knew very well that it would definitely not work to wait for others to come to her rescue, she said: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, I also thought about saving the suffering, but then I also realized that even if I ran out of mana, I could only protect the human race from generation to generation, but the human race is endless, not one or two immortals can save it, and what the human race needs is themselves." ”
"Girl Baihua, I didn't expect you to have such a compassionate time." Zhu Bajie was indeed surprised, because in his impression, Yun Yao always likes to talk about conditions, everything is a transaction, and he never suffers a loss.
Yun Yao glanced at Zhu Bajie and said, "I'm also a human race, isn't it normal to have this kind of thought?" "Don't talk about it, I'll go prepare food and vegetables first, since it's to listen to the scriptures, why don't you have to make a few passable vegetarian dishes, just make vegetable bags." It also takes a lot of time to prepare 5,000 vegetable packets first. ”
"Just leave it to us, you prepare the food, and we will use spells to make buns, and we will also save some manpower." Sun Wukong said: "Five thousand vegetable buns, from bunning to steaming, it doesn't take much mana. ”
Zhu Bajie stretched out his finger and said: "Pack three thousand more, not three hundred, and let my old pig fight tooth sacrifice." "Three thousand vegetable bags are nothing to him, but seeing Yun Yao's unkind face, he changed his words to three hundred.
"Thirty at most." People can still eat meat when they feed pigs, but feeding pigs by themselves is a waste, Yun Yao will not prepare 300 more buns for Zhu Bajie.
"Thirty is thirty." Zhu Bajie doesn't mind, although it is a little less, but what he eats is someone else's, and what he eats is what he earns.
"You idiot, just want to eat." Sun Wukong couldn't help but blame Zhu Bajie and said, "Wait a while, you will make buns." ”
"Don't, Brother Monkey, my spells are not so fine, it still depends on Brother Monkey."
"You just want to be lazy, and you can't even be stingy with this bit of mana. I don't spare any effort when I eat. ”
Yun Yao didn't care which of them made steamed buns, she had to find someone to buy enough flour and vegetables, and she paid for it privately, completely to save face for the Great Sage.
The human race doesn't like to hear it, but the demon clan is quite happy to listen, many demon clans in the demon city also come to the water and land conference to listen to the scriptures after dressing up, these demon clans are kind demon clans who don't eat people. Although Tang Seng found them, he didn't drive them away, he didn't discriminate like anyone, because the demon clan can also become a Buddha.
However, a few high-ranking monks did not welcome the demon clan, if it weren't for Tang Seng's acquiescence, they would definitely want to subdue the demon and eliminate the demon.
The monk just can't leave if he doesn't understand, but fortunately, there are still a few monks who know how to do it, and they are all monks who have already practiced mana. Therefore, the five thousand and forty-eight volumes of scriptures are also admired, and they also have great respect for Tang Seng, although Tang Seng's Buddhism is indeed too profound, but since they have chosen this path, they can only face difficulties. It is precisely because of the difficulty that they admire Tang Seng very much, just like an undergraduate admiring the knowledge of a doctoral student. The monks still hope that one day, they can also become Buddhas like Tang Seng, they did not have the opportunity before, but now the scriptures have come from the West to the East, no matter how difficult it is, they have to learn.
But the monk is not Tang Seng's goal, his goal is to purify all sentient beings, a few monks and a few demon clans can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket of sentient beings, which is not enough at all. Tang Seng also knew that the scriptures were really difficult, but he still continued to explain with an optimistic attitude, the so-called preacher can't stop because others don't listen, others don't listen, the more he wants to say, it's the same as advertising, he can't stop at all.
Advertising requires one advertisement to be done and another advertisement, not to say that the advertisement is done, and the broadcast is over in a period of time, it is necessary to keep doing publicity, the bigger the brand, the more so, that is, it is necessary to maintain the heat, and there is a brand when there is heat.
Without heat, the brand will soon be forgotten. The same is true of doctrine, which is quickly replaced when no one is preaching.
