Chapter 688: Frenzy
Huineng stayed in the temple, and then Shenxiu appeared. To support the strength of the protagonist, there must be an opponent, and this opponent must not be bad, otherwise how to show the protagonist?
Shenxiu is a supporting role, he is talented, he is a big disciple as soon as he appears, and he has the unanimous support of the temple, he is simply a double IQ and emotional intelligence, strong Buddhism, and excellent popularity. Compared with Huineng, the southern fang, it is simply a difference between cloud and mud.
After that, the old man decided to choose the next abbot, and he needed to test the Dharma of the monks of the whole temple and select the best disciple to pass on the mantle.
All the monks feel that it must be Shenxiu, after all, he is so good, he can't find weaknesses at all, ordinary monks write it is not good, if Shenxiu thinks this is a provocation, wouldn't Shenxiu be the abbot in the future to wear small shoes for them? So it's better not to write, anyway, it's not as good as Shenxiu, so let Shenxiu write it, so that everyone will be fine.
However, Shenxiu was very worried, after all, he didn't know what his Dharma level was, and he didn't know if he could meet his master's requirements. So he decided to write his verse on the wall in the middle of the night, and if everyone said yes, then he would stand up and admit that he wrote it, and if everyone thought it was not good, then he would not admit it, so as not to be ashamed.
So I wrote a note: The body is a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, always wipe diligently, and do not let there be dust.
The next day, everyone saw it, and the Master said that if you memorize it well and read it every day, you won't fall. The evaluation is still very high, but it is only not degenerate, but it does not say that you can become a Buddha.
When Shenxiu heard that Master said that this was good, he stood up and admitted it and accepted everyone's praise.
The anger is in place, the excellence of Shenxiu, a strong enemy, is already on the paper, and it should be the turn of the protagonist to appear at this moment, only by defeating Shenxiu can Huineng become famous in a fight, kill the bloody road, and achieve the position of the protagonist.
Only by defeating a powerful enemy can the strength of the protagonist be revealed. If the enemies aren't strong enough, what's the point of the protagonist defeating them?
At this time, Huineng was finally going to make a move, he had been working in the temple for eight months, and after listening to Shenxiu's words, he suddenly blurted out: "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where is the dust." I also asked the senior brother who knew how to write on the wall.
At first glance, the master immediately knew that this was a rare genius in a hundred years to learn Buddhism, and immediately asked Huineng to pack his luggage, give him the mantle, and let him run away.
This is a twist and turn, if the protagonist succeeds all at once, won't the story be over? defeating Shenxiu can only be regarded as a phased victory, and the protagonist's experience has just begun.
The reason why I had to run away was because the concept of everyone becoming a Buddha had not yet been accepted by all believers at that time, and Huineng clearly supported that everyone had Buddha nature, and as long as they were clear about their Buddha nature, then everyone could become a Buddha. If you don't run, you may be beaten to death with a stick. Huineng still had no way to challenge the mainstream at that time, after all, not everyone had a big backer like Xuanzang.
After that, Huineng has been hiding from XZ, until the atmosphere has become more and more enlightened, and everyone has become a Buddha and is accepted by more and more people, and his time has finally come. Epiphany became a Buddha swept thousands of armies in Lingnan and unified Buddhism, Huineng created the Southern Zen Buddhism of epiphany, opened an uncovered conference, and stood on the cusp.
The protagonist has gone through hardships and finally achieved positive results, which is gratifying. Huineng's experience is simply a model of the male protagonist's promotion of monsters, and it perfectly interprets the example of Mo bullying the poor youth, growing from a southern fang to an epiphany master, and growing from an illiterate monk to a monk.
"Master, it's cold outside, let's sit in the cabin."
"It's okay, the teacher is standing outside, Fahai, you go and prepare a meal, when it's ready, I'll come in." Huineng said to the monk beside him.
This monk is Fahai, Fahai seems to have the mana to stay in the face, so even after thirty years, he is still young, before he studied only Buddhism at Xuanzang, and now he has jumped to Huineng and learned to have an epiphany. He also accepted the idea that everyone can become a Buddha, but Tang Seng did not have a methodology on how to make everyone become a Buddha, and Huineng's epiphany guided everyone how to become a Buddha in daily life. Therefore, Fahai apprenticed to learn, although he has mana, his mana does not allow him to benefit sentient beings.
Fahai is serious about studying Buddhism, and he let Huineng enter the cabin not only because he was worried that his master would catch a cold, but also because there was a demonic aura on both sides of the strait, and the Buddha's light on Huineng would attract little demons. It's a pity that the master is reluctant to enter the cabin, and Nafahai can only protect it secretly.
The demon clan in the second mortal world has learned a lot of Buddhism, and Huineng's epiphany is so attractive, so there are countless little demons who admire Huineng. Hui Neng's fame in the demon city is greater than that of the people of the human race.
Western Christianity has flourished, and although there are still rivals, it is the best choice for monks to choose Western Christianity. Because Western religion is the most inclusive, at least on the surface. In fact, Fahai doesn't think that the demon clan can become a Buddha, although he accepted an explanation to become a Buddha, but the demon clan has different paths, how can the demon clan have Buddha nature.
Again, where is the boundary of Buddha-nature, where is the boundary of purifying sentient beings? After all, Mahayana Buddhism not only talks about becoming a Buddha yourself, but also helps others become Buddhas. It's like the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo, who does not live in the empty hell and vows not to be a Buddha. If the scope of Pudu sentient beings includes the demon clan, then the working atmosphere will increase countless times. And the demon clan can become a Buddha, can plants, stones, bacteria, microorganisms, and robots become Buddhas?
If you can, then the scope of work of Pudu sentient beings is infinite, and Fahai is not stupid, why should he increase the pressure on himself? Therefore, if you deny that the demon race can become a Buddha, the scope of your work is the human race, and the Pudu human race will be happy.
No one likes to add unnecessary work to themselves.
Therefore, for these demon clans on both sides of the strait, Fahai is on high alert, and will release the mighty Tianlong to suppress them at any time.
But the demon clan just came to see Huineng, and there was no other meaning.
Huineng's entry into Beijing is much more lively than Tang Seng's homecoming, and Huineng's fans have already arrived in Chang'an first, preparing everything for Huineng.
Moreover, believers on both sides of the strait also waited early, and many ordinary people prepared a meal, hoping that Huineng would be able to take a bite. However, Huineng wanted to enter Beijing quickly, so he did not delay.
Epiphany is good, it can be said that it satisfies the vast market, and even death row prisoners can put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas immediately, anyway, as long as they discover their Buddha nature, they can become Buddhas in minutes. From the poor people to the officials and nobles, from the small people to the civil and military officials, it runs through every class from bottom to top.
A large number of believers appeared in Chang'an overnight, and they came here for nothing other than to support Huineng, just to spread the Dharma of Enlightenment. There was an influx of people with southern accents in the city, and listening to them was as incomprehensible as listening to foreigners.
The hotel is full, the hotel is full, and the Chang'an store is very happy.
Yun Yao also heard that the master who defeated Tang Seng was coming, and he was really popular, and his epiphany was in line with the public's appetite. I feel that this is the real Western religion, and the scale is much stronger than that of Tang Seng. The return of Tang Seng can only be regarded as the prelude to everyone becoming a Buddha, and Master Huineng has set off a frenzy.
