The old monk clasped his hands together and announced the Buddha's name, "Amitabha! ”

"The poor monk didn't expect that although the Taoist chief was a Taoist priest, he had a lot of treasures for my Buddhist classics, which shows that Huigen is extraordinary. Since the little Taoist has such a Buddha root nature, why don't you abandon the Tao and join the Zen Temple? ”

The old monk followed the temptation and continued: "There are hundreds of monks in Zenyin Temple, and the incense is prosperous. If the Taoist is willing to join the Zenyin Temple, I can choose the first seat of the Governor's Hall, the first Precept Hall, and the first Dharma Hall of the Zenyin Temple! ”

"Hahaha...", Chen Wenqing laughed loudly: "Why old monk, won't you not even be able to answer such a simple question as Xiaodao?" ”

"Amitabha! Since the small Taoist chief is unwilling, the poor monk is not strong. Today, the poor monk talked about the Buddha with the Taoist, and taught the Taoist to know that the Dharma is profound, and my Buddha is compassionate! ”

The old monk bowed to the golden body of the Buddha in the Mahavira Hall and said: "The so-called Buddha in the world is only Shakyamuni Buddha. Shakyamuni Buddha, the master of Nan Wu, made a vow to show himself as a Buddha in the world of sampa and the five turbid and evil worlds, enlighten Buddhism, and transform sentient beings. A Buddha is a person who has attained the perfection of merit and wisdom, who is free from the six realms of reincarnation, lives with heaven and earth, and shines with the sun and the moon! ”

Chen Wenqing smiled when he heard this, and said: "Old monk, you recite Amitabha Buddha in your mouth, but the only person who says Buddha is Shakyamuni Buddha." It can be seen that you don't even understand the difference between these two Buddhas. ”

"Shakyamuni Buddha is the head of the world of sava; Amitabha Buddha is not the Buddha of our world, but the head of the Western Elysium. ”

Chen Wenqing said: "In the world, everyone can become a Buddha!" ”

"The so-called Buddha does not refer to a particular person or a specific Buddha; It is the three of self-realization, awareness of others, and realization of the perfection of action. That is, the one who has attained great wisdom, great compassion, and great creation is a Buddha. ”

"All appearances are vain. If you see things that are not like each other, you see them as they are. Chen Wenqing said sarcastically, "Monk, the Buddha you have learned is too narrow-minded!" ”

"Flowers bloom to see me, I see as come!" ，

Chen Wenqing pointed to the people in the hall and said: "The Buddha is me, I am the Buddha!" All things in heaven and earth have Buddha nature, and they can all become Buddhas! ”

The old monk was squeezed and refuted by Chen Wenqing, and his calm face couldn't help twitching, but after a while, he calmed down again.

"It seems that this old monk hasn't learned much about Buddhism, but he has learned a lot about his cheekiness!"

Chen Wenqing saw that the old monk was silent, and urged: "Old monk, since you can't answer the first question. So, you can move on to the second question of the poor road! ”

"The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, why do you divide the Buddha into three, six, nine and so on?"

After Chen Wenqing's first question, the old monk had already understood. The little Taoist priest in front of him has profound attainments in Buddhism, and if he doesn't answer properly, I'm afraid he will continue to lose face.

I saw that the old monk pondered for a long time, and finally spoke: "The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, but there are three, six, nine and so on. ”

The old monk said: "According to the division of fruits, the Buddha is the great sage who is self-realized, aware of others, and fully enlightened, who truthfully perceives the nature of all dharmas, and attains enlightenment. ”

A bodhisattva, on the other hand, is one who has attained both the realms of realisation and enlightenment, but has not yet attained the perfection of enlightenment. Arhats, i.e., realised beings, are lower than Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and are of the third rank..."

The old monk wanted to continue talking at this time, but was interrupted by Chen Wenqing and said, "Old monk, you have already said something wrong, you don't need to continue!" What you are talking about is the teachings of Hinayana Buddhism, which is too narrow and not Mahayana Buddhism. ”

Mahayana Buddhism says, "All things in the universe have the same origin, and all beings are equal and one mind." ”

"Bow to you because of me!"

Chen Wenqing said: "The so-called equality of all beings means that all beings are equal to the Buddha. When sentient beings worship the Buddha, it is not the Buddha who worships him, but the sentient beings themselves. ”

"The Buddha is me, I am the Buddha!"

"So-called, if a Buddha has the appearance of me, the appearance of people, the appearance of sentient beings, and the appearance of the long-lived, that is, he is not a Buddha. There is no self, no human appearance, sentient beings, and longevity, that is, Bodhi! ”

"Old monk, it seems that you haven't been able to answer this poor question."

Everyone in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, including the monks, looked at the old monk with suspicion, but the old monk was speechless and didn't know how to refute.

At this time.

A short and fat man wearing a county magistrate's uniform came out of the crowd and pointed at Chen Wenqing and said.

"Ignorant little Taoist, Master Kongming is a high-ranking monk, how can he not even know these Buddhist principles? The mage is magnanimous and unwilling to deal with the small way, but this county can't allow you to mess around and talk nonsense here! ”

Chen Wenqing turned his head, looked at the person in front of him, and said coldly: "You are the Chen County Commander of this Heitie County, right?" As a parent official in a place, he is not on business in the yamen at this time, why did he come to this Zenyin Temple? ”

"Humph! Little Taoist, when you see that this county still dares to be so arrogant, who gave you the courage to meddle in the county's government affairs? What the county does, you can't afford to talk nonsense. ”

Qin County Ling looked arrogant, and it seemed to be commonplace for the monks of Zenyin Temple to drink wine and eat meat.

"The light of the Buddha in Zenyin Temple shines brightly, guarding the people of Li in Heitie County and benefiting one party. This place is the pure land of Buddhism, and you can't tolerate a small Taoist priest scattering wild! ”

"That's why the light of the Buddha shines and benefits one party?"

Chen Wenqing shook his head and said, "The Buddha balds of Zenyin Temple are not producing, they are sitting on huge wealth, they are greedy and hypocritical. On the surface, he chanted scriptures and praised the Buddha, and he ate, drank, prostituted and gambled behind his back. Is this what you mean by benefiting the people? ”

"Bold! If you dare to lie here to confuse the public, the official will have to take you down today. ”

Chen Wenqing knew in his heart, obviously this Heitie County Commander Qin Guangbao and Zenyin Temple had colluded together, and they were in cahoots, knowing that it was pointless to say anything at this time.

So, Chen Wenqing turned to the abbot of Kongming and said, "Old monk, the Buddha said to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground." Do you think that a person who has committed the heinous crime of murder and arson can become a Buddha as long as he changes his evil and returns to righteousness? ”

"Amitabha, good, good."

The old monk said: "My Buddha is compassionate, put down the butcher's knife, and become a Buddha on the ground, this is what the Buddha himself said, how can it be wrong?" ”

"Wrong!"

Chen Wenqing angrily reprimanded: "Everyone has Buddha nature, and letting go of the butcher's knife is aimed at purifying delusions and letting go of attachments. ”

The "butcher's knife" mentioned by the Buddha refers to the three karma of the mind, mouth, and mind, as well as all delusions, delusions, confusions, reversals, separations, and attachments, not the butcher's knife of murder. ”

"If a person who kills people and does evil can also become a Buddha, then he is also an evil Buddha, how can he become a true Buddha?"

The Buddha once said, "If you cultivate all the good dharmas with no self, no one, no sentient beings, and no longevity, you will attain the three bodhisattvas of Anuttara." ”

The Dharma practiced by Zenyin Temple is all evil law, and the Buddha worshiped is all evil Buddha.

Chen Wenqing has already understood through the three questions, and understands that the old monk in front of him is not a real Buddhist cultivator at all, and there is no need to continue asking.

Although the old monk exudes the light of the Buddha, it cannot hide the fact that he is an evil Buddha.

In addition, Chen Wenqing felt a strong incense power from this old monk.

Obviously, the old monk used the name of the Buddha to deceive the people of Dawn and steal the power of incense to help him practice.

Chen Wenqing didn't say anything more, and then used the spiritual power around him, only to see a vertical pupil open in the center of his eyebrows, and golden light shone out from the eye of the sky.

"Old monk, in the name of the Buddha, you have done evil things, stolen the incense and spiritual power of the people of Li, invaded the fertile land, and deceived women, and the sin cannot be forgiven!"

Chen Wenqing integrated mana into the sound, like thunder rolling, resounding through the Zenyin Temple.

"Today, Poor Dao wants to see what kind of demon and monster you are, dare to do such a rebellious thing!"

Chen Wenqing said that he would do it, and the old monk did not have the slightest preparation in a hurry.

I saw Chen Wenqing pinching the handprints of Chen, Si, Wu, Li, Zhen, Xun, and Gen, and reciting the mantra in his mouth:

"The law of heaven is clear, and the law of earth is spiritual."

"Yin and yang are condensed, and the water spirit is revealed."

"Spiritual light and water, reaching the heavens and the earth."

"Yin and Yang magic mirror, quickly appear in the true form."

"I am as anxious as the law, and the eyes of heaven are clear-forgive!"

A golden light shot out from Chen Wenqing's heavenly eyes, with a brilliant and mighty aura.

The thunder and purple lightning shone in the golden light, and the old monk was fixed in place.

"Bold and demonic, quickly revealed!"
