Volume 4 Fireworks in Troubled Times Chapter 141 Brainwashing
After the abbot determined that Li Chen would stay in the Lingkong Temple, the elders outside the hall and many core disciples entered the main hall and visited in turn.
Everyone is called a Buddha, and some people even say the word Shizun, and these people are very uncomfortable in the face of Li Chen's fanaticism and faith.
He remembered the grand wish left in the Buddha's ruins, hoping that everyone in the world would become a Buddha, but looking at the current situation, these people were obviously on the wrong path.
Li Chen said secretly: No wonder no one has been able to walk out of the path of the Eight Realms for countless years after the Buddha's death, just because they thought about one thing wrong from the beginning, the Buddha is not an individual, but a sentient being.
When everyone saw Li Chen, the abbot said to Li Chen: "Buddha, tomorrow is the day of Buddhism's debate, and please remember to go to the main hall." ”
He didn't say this matter in advance, Li Chen frowned slightly, but then everyone behind the abbot bowed down and said, "Please also invite the Buddha to go." ”
Li Chen thought about it, this is not necessarily a bad thing, he now has some ups and downs in his state of mind, and he needs the practice of Buddhism to calm his mind, maybe he can comprehend a lot of Buddhism in this debate.
So I finally agreed.
The next day.
After Li Chen rushed to the main hall, he saw a full hall of disciples and elders, only to realize that he was the last to arrive, he felt a little embarrassed, and said, "Since it is a Buddhist argument, in fact, there is no need to be obsessed with time, there are thousands of avenues in the world, if you have to determine a time, a lifetime, a thousand years, how can it?" ”
As soon as his words fell, the eyes of some monks lit up slightly, and they immediately said: "The Buddha has the supreme Buddha in one sentence, and he must follow the teachings carefully." ”
Following these words, all the monks shouted in unison to obey the teachings.
The abbot transmitted a message to Li Chen: "The Buddha really has a relationship with my Buddha, and one sentence has made many disciples have an epiphany. ”
Li Chen stood on the abbot's side and pretended to return the salute.
Next, this debate began, Li Chen listened very carefully at first, and after a long time, he realized that not all of them were like Xuan Li and the abbot in the realm of Buddhism, and many of these people's sayings were like children's babbling in Li Chen's ears, at most they were only figuring out Buddhism for three or five days.
Xuan Li once said that he had an excellent talent in Buddhism, and at this moment Li Chen also believed it, and he even had a faint thought, could it be that he was really born a Buddha?
As time went on, the debate on Buddhism in the hall finally deepened, from the debate of the disciples at the beginning, to the appearance of the elders at the end, and even the abbot began to speak.
Those disciples who stood in the back were thoughtful at first, but they were no longer able to understand or even understand the deep meaning of each sentence.
Li Chen noticed everyone's expressions, and now, except for Xuan Li, all the disciples had only numbness and confusion on their faces.
In the end, every question was thrown out, and only three or four people were able to respond.
In fact, the so-called Buddhist dialectics are mostly discussing the relationship between the characters and the world, which can be divided into several categories: first, the psychosomatic relationship; second, the relationship between color and space; Third, the relationship between the subjective world and the objective world.
Li Chen has always been suffering because of the contradiction between himself and the world, and his mentality is finally clinging to the psychosomatic relationship between his own body, which is the reason why he was so angry during that time, which is also called karma.
In the main hall, the arguments of the remaining people became more and more intense, such as: "Does the true nature really exist?" If it really exists, then it means that there is also a hypothetical self-nature, and at the same time, there is a mid-seeing self-nature. A great sage in Buddhism once said: You can only see the front of a person in front of him, when you turn behind him and only see the back, when you look down from his sky, you can see half of the front and back, so everything is just different angles, and it is very narrow to talk about the existence of any of them. ”
One elder responded, "Why do you have to use worldly things to speculate about true nature? What the sages said may not be right, just as the World-Honored One once said, what we see may not be true, and what you do not see may not be false, and the purpose of our cultivation is never to let our wisdom roots stay in the realm of ordinary people, otherwise how can we understand the inconceivable truth of self-nature? ”
When he arrived here, although Li Chen understood what they meant, he actually had his own thoughts, but he didn't intend to say them.
Until the abbot and one of them debated the law, the abbot said something like this, "Whether there is a law or no action, our final path is to serve the world." ”
Li Chen woke up from their dialectical perception, as if he was watching a hearty battle between the two people, and suddenly a dancer who had been in contact for two and a half years jumped out and twisted her waist out of place, and he couldn't help but say: "The abbot's words are wrong. ”
Everyone looked at it, and at first they only thought that the Buddha's debate was just here to see, but now they are a little surprised when they hear him speak.
The abbot asked, "What is the high opinion of the Buddha?" ”
He always thought that Li Chen had gained something in the secret realm of the Buddha, otherwise the Buddha nature of the whole body would not have diminished for a few days, at this time, he pricked up his ears, he just wanted to listen to what the Buddha said.
Li Chen looked around at everyone, knowing that he was still impulsive just now, he thought about it and said his thoughts, and sighed: "The World Venerable traveled all over the endless regions back then, saw all kinds of sufferings in life, and said that all living beings are equal. His old man's ambition back then was to hope that everyone in the world would become a Buddha. ”
In the main hall, the Buddha's light is shining.
Outside the main hall, eighty-one bells rang suddenly.
