"Amitabha."

Fahai recited the Buddha's name, looked at Wukong and said, "If a wicked person is influenced by the Dharma, can he still be considered a wicked person?" ”

Wukong thought for a while and said, "The disciple heard that there is a saying in the Buddhism sect, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, even those demons who kill people without calculation will also become Buddhas... If you are influenced by the Dharma, cross into the Buddha's door, and go to the cause and effect of the past, you will be reborn... So maybe he is not a wicked person. ”

"Wukong, are you excusing yourself with such words?"

Wukong: "Master, what do you mean by this?" ”

"You used to kill people without calculation, known as the Seven Sages of the Demon Clan, and made trouble in the Dragon Palace, the underworld and even the Heavenly Court, and you can be regarded as a wicked person in the eyes of the world?"

Wukong said helplessly: "If Master says this, my grandson's reputation can also stop children crying at night, and he is a big devil." ”

"And now that you have entered the Shamen, you have become a monk, you have broken off from the past, and you have become the head of the Buddhist Gate, and you can be regarded as putting down the butcher knife, but you are still a demon demon?"

Wukong thought for a while and said, "The disciple should have been pressed under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years, in order to punish and atone for his sins, so that he has the opportunity to do so now..."

"Do you ask yourself, do you have any insight into the Dharma?"

Wukong said honestly: "The disciples all listen to the master's words, but occasionally learn a few words on their lips, and the most familiar is the four words 'Amitabha', and there is no understanding in my heart... In the future, I should listen to Master's teachings and be dedicated to goodness. ”

"You have been punished to have such an opportunity, how can these robbers and bandits not yet atone for their sins, listen to the teachings of the Dharma? If you use the Buddha's decree to understand it at this moment, won't you become a good person? ”

"If it's like this, wouldn't the Three Realms be a mess? Let those demons do evil, and when the incident happens, worship the Buddha... If you say that you have a great understanding and change your past mistakes, you will be able to be reborn regardless of cause and effect... On the contrary, it is the souls of those who have lost their lives and are wronged by their hands, and there is nowhere to escape. ”

"Wukong, you said it yourself, these wicked people, do you want to cross or not?"

Wukong was stunned, he suddenly realized that Buddhism was broad and profound, but he had not understood it in depth in the past, but now he just listened to the master's talk on the topic, and he felt fierce and sincerely obeyed: "What the master said is very true, such a robber should be punished by the government... The so-called Buddha has a fate, and before they have paid off their sins, they have no fate for my Buddha... Master, isn't that the truth? ”

"You stubborn monkey, but you also have a lot of wisdom, although you don't hit, but you also have a little shallow knowledge."

Hearing Master's praise, Wukong was overjoyed, but he wondered, "Why did Master influence him with Buddhism alone?" ”

Wukong pointed to the robber sixth.

"He was a passer-by, because he had some means, he was forced to stay in the cottage by robbers, and he had not done the act of robbing homes and houses, seeking money and killing people, although he was brave and ruthless in the past, but there was no big sin in his body... It's still too late to rein in the precipice. Fahai said with a smile: "Since he is not a wicked person, as a teacher, he will lead him to the right path and persuade him to be good." ”

"That's the truth, that's the great merit." Wukong suddenly realized, and rejoiced for the robber Lao Liu, "Thanks to him going to the master at that time, if he came to find my grandson first, I am afraid that he would have lost his life for a long time." ”

The sixth robber got the guidance of the holy monk, changed his past, went to the cottage to get gold and silver and sent it to the master and apprentice, when it was a passing by, and then packed up some soft, led an ox cart, placed a group of robbers, and said to Elder Tang: "The villain will go to surrender, if he gets rid of the shackles in the future, he will do good deeds every day, and he will live up to the teachings of the holy monk." ”

After this incident, the master and apprentice returned to their father-in-law's house, ready to set off and continue their journey west.

The two of them were relaxed, but the Bodhisattva who watched the whole process above the clouds was full of emotion, and his heart was not good.

Now the master and apprentice are "like glue", and they can't wait to stick together all the time, but it makes it difficult for her to find an opportunity to send the three tight hoops in her hand out... When Sun Wukong was determined to be a westward figure, the Buddhas of Lingshan were only afraid that the monkeys would not obey the discipline, so they set many strategies... Now when he watched the monkey obey Elder Tang's words, he was not happy in his heart.

That's fine.

What the Bodhisattva cares about the most is Elder Tang's words: Those demons are doing evil, and when the incident happens, they will worship the Buddha... If you say that you have a great understanding and change your past mistakes, you will be able to be reborn regardless of cause and effect...

She inexplicably felt that the pet mounts of the gods and Buddhas of the heavens who had already settled on the westbound road had a big word "danger" engraved on the door of her head.

That's fine.

Because the slight change of Elder Tang alone triggered such a wonderful change, which was also something that Lingshan had not expected before.

The Great Sage's wish to see Master's exquisite Dharma was not fulfilled after all, and he decided not to do anything next time.

And how the master influenced the robber Lao Liu, he has no way of knowing.

Compared to turning demons into evil, Fahai is better at overtaking them.

Fahai is a compassionate monk after all, and although he will not blame Wukong for hurting the lives of these robbers, if it is not necessary... Naturally, he will not hurt anyone.

Because of Datang's punishment, they will naturally be beheaded.

He was just a monk, not a judge, and he didn't think he had the right to arbitrarily judge the lives of others.

In the past, when I was cultivating, when I encountered some monsters who did not kill evil, but were quite Taoist, most of them abolished their cultivation, but they did not directly hurt their lives.

But in other words, in the demon world, if it is abolished and cultivated, it will almost become someone else's meal, no different from death.

"Master." After all, Wukong is an idle person, and he is followed by a Tang monk with profound Buddhism, so he naturally asks for advice from time to time: "You are such a Taoist monk, you have to go to the West Heaven to seek the true scriptures, and I don't know what the beauty of this true scripture is." ”

The bodhisattva on the top of the clouds also tilted his ears when he heard Wukong's inquiry, as if he wanted to hear what Tang Sanzang, who had awakened the true spirit of the golden cicada, could have.

"The poor monk has not seen the scriptures, how can he know the wonders of them?" Fahai smiled: "When you go to the West Heaven and seek the true scriptures, you will know... However, Master Guanyin said that the Mahayana teachings can transcend the deceased and ascend to heaven, can overcome the suffering of difficult people, can cultivate immeasurable longevity, and can do nothing to come and go. It can solve the knot of a hundred grievances, and it can eliminate the disaster of innocence..."

"That's a good way to do that." Wukong smiled: "If you cultivate, you can also get an immortal life." ”

"You monkey head, you only think about immortality in your heart." Fahai knocked on his head and said, "You only want to be liberated like this, even if you go to the Western Heavens, you can't ask for the Mahayana scriptures... It is enough to pass on some Hinayana essentials to your teacher. ”

"Why is that?" Goku was puzzled.

"Although I have never seen the sutras, I can also know the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism by listening to a few words of the Bodhisattva, not in individuals, but in sentient beings... If we talk about the Hinayana teachings, we know that the World-Honored One is the only true Buddha in the world, and all sentient beings learn his teachings in order to achieve self-transcendence. Then Mahayana Buddhism is really about universalizing sentient beings and making everyone become a Buddha. Fahai looked at Wukong's eyes a little confused and confused, and said: "To put it simply, Hinayana Buddhism is to cross oneself, and Mahayana Buddhism is to cross sentient beings. ”

The compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, after hearing Sanzang's opinion, also nodded secretly, and said in his heart, if you have such an enlightenment, how can you be sent to reincarnation by the Buddha.

It can be seen that the reincarnation of the tenth life is not without results, and the Dharma of the golden cicada has been refined.

"Master is really a high monk, and he has not yet seen the true scriptures, so he has such an understanding..."Speaking of this, Wukong changed his mind: "If this is the case, the Mahayana and Hinayana do not seem to conflict, and when the master takes the true scriptures, he will shoulder the strength of the two families, and cross himself and others, then that is the true Buddha." My grandson saw that Rulai was just a villain who was used to intrigues, and my grandson knew that the monks didn't speak, but he didn't blink his eyes, and nonsense came out of his mouth to deceive my grandson. ”

"I think that when the master and the two teachings are successful, then if you come to the future, you have to give up the position of the lord of the spiritual mountain and let the master be the Buddha..."
