Chapter 108: The Truth of Argument

Two days later, the auspicious puja took place as scheduled!

The location is in an open place on the mountainside of Xiaoling Mountain.

The name of this place is "Zen Forest", but it is different from ordinary dojos, and the Zen Forest is full of huge rocks and towering mountain peaks.

One after another mountain cliffs and strange peaks, rising from the ground, densely occupying the slopes, but the peaks of each one are not the place to stand on the cone, and can only accommodate one person to stand.

It is here that the most important debates of the monks in the auspicious puja take place.

Debates are generally divided into two types, one is antiphony.

Two debaters, one of whom asks a question and the other answers, and no cross-examination is allowed; After a while, and then the other way around, until one person can't ask.

All the monks who participate in the auspicious puja have to pass the initial debate and obtain a number plate, and the monk who has obtained the number plate can enter the "Zen Forest" and step on the corresponding peak, and then can enter the second level to establish a sect debate.

The winner of the debate is the person who establishes the sect.

In the Zen forest, the Lizong people are on the second highest mountain.

There is no limit to the number of debaters who are self-reliant, and they are called "questioners" or "those who try to ask the truth", and they constantly ask questions, sometimes one question, sometimes several people.

In the process of establishing a debate, the questioner can shout loudly, applaud and cheer, dance the rosary, pull the robe and pick up the clothes, pacing back and forth, and can also use martial arts to practice meditation.

If the founder is unable to parry or deal with it, the establishment of the sect fails, and the founder of the sect exchanges places with the person who asked the question.

The questioner will become the new founder.

As the debate progresses, the losers go from high to low, and the victors go from low to high.

Until all the questioners are unable to take the inverted sect people, the sect will be successful.

Climb to the highest peak of the Zen forest and become the ultimate winner.

Bell ~ bell ~ bell ~

Twelve bells rang through Xiaoling Mountain, and there was a sense of thunder and vibration in the sound.

The monks came to the outside of the Zen forest and waited for the host's arrangement.

Soon, the abbot, Buddha, and elders of the Great Leiyin Temple all came here.

The Dharma names of Da Lei Yin Temple are arranged according to the principle of "only passing on the Dharma seal, enlightenment will be melted".

Today's abbot is the sixth generation, the Dharma name is the Zen master, although he is old, but he is still in good spirits.

"Amitabha."

"Good, good, good."

After a period of pleasantries, the Indo-French abbot officially announced the beginning of the debate.

In fact, the debate is more about the memorization of the scriptures, so monks who have practiced for a long time are naturally more advantageous.

According to the arrangement of the Great Lei Yin Temple, the monks began to draw lots to decide the group.

Soon two of them formed a team, and the one who was assigned to a group with Lichen was a young monk of his age.

The little monk is not tall, his body is slightly thin, his eyebrows are gathered into a little, and he can't help but smile bitterly when he sees that he is away from the dust.

[Little monk's luck...... Yes. 】

[It's hard to put into words. 】

"Little monk, White Horse Temple in Chang'an Prefecture, Miao Di, I have seen the killing of the Buddha."

After speaking, the little monk was very polite and saluted Lichen.

And when Lichen just wanted to respond, a golden light suddenly appeared in his mind.

["Di Ting" discovers the reincarnation of "Contemplative Arhat". 】

Meditate on Arhat!

Li Chen responded with a slight bow, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the other party.

Unexpectedly, this little monk who looked weak turned out to be the reincarnation of the legendary contemplative Arhat!

Contemplating Arhats is one of the ten disciples of the Buddha.

Because he likes to meditate and think, he understands everything in contemplation. In contemplation, we can know what others do not know, and when we do the exercises, we can do what others cannot do. Wisdom and action are obtained.

The identity of a disciple of the Buddha alone is enough to explain the wisdom of the other party.

"Amitabha."

"Little monk, Southern Xinjiang Killing Temple, away from the dust."

The little monk raised his eyebrows, his gaze swept over Lichen's face.

[This killing Buddha is so approachable. 】

[Even if you lose to him, you won't lose~]

"Dust Mage, shall we begin?"

The little monk's face was a little restrained.

And Lichen nodded: "Master Miao Di, please first."

The first level of debate is the debate, which is a question and an answer, and so on, until there is nothing to ask, and the rest wins.

The little monk folded his hands, bowed his head slightly, and asked, "If you believe in Buddhism, what should you do first?"

Holding the rosary in one hand and standing in front of his chest with the other, Lichen replied, "You should first take refuge in the Three Jewels, and then take refuge and return to the same place."

"What are the Three Jewels?"

"The three are Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, so that they can benefit the world, and they hope to encounter difficulties, so they are called treasures."

"What is a Buddha?"

"The Buddha is the supreme and omniscient person, the virtue of the master, and his righteousness is the enlightened one. The so-called self-realization, awareness of others, and realization of perfection."

"What is the law?"

……

The two of them asked and answered, almost without any hesitation, and in an instant, they rotated more than a dozen questions interactively.

"Debate" itself is different from fighting a wit, relying on scriptures and asking each other questions, and there must be evidence.

The main test is how solid each other is in the scriptures, homework, and practice.

And as time went on, some people lost the debate one after another.

After the time of half a pillar of incense, there were more than half fewer people outside the entire Zen forest.

And the relationship between the dust and the wonderful truth continues.

"What is admiration?"

"In order to praise the merits of the Three Jewels and to praise the benefits of the Three Jewels."

Lichen was also very surprised by the little monk in front of him, the other party looked a few years younger than himself, but he didn't expect that the memory of the Buddhist scriptures was far beyond that of monks of the same age.

If it weren't for the help of the "Recipe for Karma and Karma" (Zhi Suo), in terms of Buddhism, this little monk of the wonderful truth would have a far better understanding of the scriptures than himself.

And the monk Miaodi gradually oozed beads of sweat on his forehead at this time, and he originally had a trace of luck.

After all, according to previous rumors, the temple has never been familiar with Buddhist scriptures.

But now he smiled bitterly in his heart, the killing Buddha in front of him, no matter the question and answer, he was smooth and relaxed.

And as the problem deepens, the speed is getting slower and slower.

Finally, it was Lichen's turn to ask a question, and the little monk Miao Di became nervous.

I only heard Lichen ask, "How can my generation practice self-reliance on meditation?"

As soon as this question came out, Miao Di's face was stunned, as if she was in deep thought.

After a long time, he slowly raised his head and said solemnly, "I...... I can't answer."

"The little monk bows to the wind."

The little monk's face flashed with a touch of relief, his hands folded and bowed deeply to Lichen, and when he raised his head, he asked hesitantly, "I wonder if Master Lichen can help the little monk solve his doubts?"

Lichen smiled and nodded: "Cultivate the Buddha, cultivate yourself, and cultivate your mind."

"It is recorded in the Essence of Amitabha that "only the mind appears, and only the consciousness changes."

When the little monk heard this, a fine light lit up in his eyes: "Only the heart appears, only the knowledge changes!"

"The little monk understands!"

"Master Lichen is well-read, proficient in Buddhism, and willing to bow down."

"I wish the Venerable Master success in establishing a sect at this auspicious puja!"

The success of the sect is the crowning achievement of the auspicious puja.

Just as Lichen was about to respond, there was a sudden voice in his ears that the little monk of Miao Di deliberately lowered: "Be careful of the Thunder Sound Buddha!"
