Chapter 262: Killing to Survive the Living
After the Bodhi Patriarch left, Ao Qing looked at the golden cicada and said, "Master is a high-ranking disciple of the World-Honored One, and he expects that Buddhism is profound. Although Ao Qing has some experience, he only has a slight understanding of Buddhism. I'm afraid I can't inspire the golden cicada. ”
When Jin Chanzi heard this, he hurriedly said: "Ao Qing Daoyou has a good reputation. You are the true biography of the Bodhi Patriarch, as the saying goes: famous teachers produce high disciples. The patriarch is a combination of three religions, and it is expected that Taoist friends also have their own unique understanding of 'Buddha'. However, it is true that I did not come this time to find Taoist friends to discuss Buddhism. ”
Ao Qing said: "What is that for?" ”
Jin Chanzi said: "I admired the personality of Taoist friends, so I came." ”
"Oh?"
Ao Qing said: "Admire me as a person? ”
Jin Chanzi said: "Daoyou subdued the Jiao Demon King and other demons, swept away the plague in the Southern Ganbu Continent, and rescued all the people." Kill the king of the river god, pacify the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, protect the people under the hands of the Nine Golden Crows, and subdue demons and eliminate demons in Beiju Luzhou. And that's not all...... I also said that the suppression of Xiangliu 50,000 years ago was also related to Taoist friends. Such a demeanor makes the little monk look forward to it. And especially the methods of Taoist friends, there is no spare hand for demons, and even the gods and souls will destroy them, which makes the little monk feel very much in line with my heart. ”
Ao Qing was a little surprised in his heart.
He was surprised by two things. First, this golden cicada is very Buddhist, but he seems to admire his own methods of subduing demons and eliminating demons, especially ...... There wasn't the slightest bit of a hand left.
Is it a ruthless method that doesn't even leave a body and soul when you do it? This is not like what people in Buddhism say.
The second is because of the matter of Xiangliu, this golden cicada has faintly heard what the Buddha said.
Although, as it is not directly specified. But this incident is what happened in the "big dream world", and few people know about it.
In Ao Qing's opinion, not to mention the "immortal" realm, even the great supernatural powers in the "saint" realm, should not be known to everyone.
At least, the Queen Mother should not know, and Guanyin Bodhisattva is probably the same. Otherwise, the Queen Mother would have mentioned this matter the last time they met.
Rulai vaguely revealed this matter to Jin Chanzi, as if he wanted to make Jin Chanzi admire and yearn for himself. In this way, it seems that the golden cicada is coming, and there is indeed a meaning in it?
Ao Qing thought a lot, but Jin Chanzi didn't think so much, and said: "Thirty thousand years ago, I worshiped under the Shizun and practiced Buddhism day by day, but at that time, Xiniu Hezhou was in decline and the demons were rampant. I have educated the people, but the people have not been educated. I warn the demons, but the demons do not know what to do. It wasn't until later that the Dao Ancestor's purple qi came from the east, the demons were cleared, the Daomen Great Sage sealed the Sansheng Stone, and Yuchen Tianzun suppressed the Moluo, and he had unlimited vitality. I realized that Dharma words alone cannot reach all living beings. ”
Ao Qing said: "What do you mean by this? ”
Jin Chanzi said: "I don't know if you know, even if the demon is dead, it is difficult to reincarnate?" Even if you are reincarnated, you will only be reincarnated as a wicked person? ”
Ao Qing frowned slightly and said, "This is the first time I've heard of this." However, it is not incomprehensible. ”
The so-called demon is really the existence of the desire in the heart that is drawn out and falls into the sea of suffering. Not only the body, but also the soul have fallen into the devil's path.
Therefore, even if he died, he went through six reincarnations, drank Meng Po soup, and had no memory. But the soul is still in the abyss of darkness, and his nature is also evil.
This is also why great supernatural people often do not kill demons directly. Because from a long-term perspective, it doesn't mean much to kill, just one or two, if there are too many of them, they can't be killed at all, and they will increase the variables.
For example, there are more than 100 million demons in Beiju Luzhou. The Nine Heavens Demon Ancestor only swept and suppressed, not slaughtered. But Heavenly Court, in fact, is not completely devoid of the power to slaughter the demons of Beiju Luzhou.
It's just that even if it is slaughtered, it will be difficult to truly destroy the countless karma of Beiju Luzhou. At that time, it will only be given to the sixth day of the Desire Realm for nothing to enhance the strength of the Demon Dao. Even if they are forcibly reincarnated in the six realms of reincarnation and reincarnated as evil beings, it will disturb the living beings in the world.
And those wicked people, the number of people, even far exceeded the mortals in the Southern Ganbu Continent. If they are allowed to inadvertently step into the path of cultivation again, they will also produce unknowable variables.
That's why Beiju Luzhou is still full of demons and chaos until now.
Of course, Yuchen Tianzun's methods are really ruthless. The "Xuanshui" strategy, Ao Qing also admired it very much.
Xuanshui can wash away karma, so that most of the demon souls are scattered, and the gods are destroyed, it can be said that it is the best way to solve the scourge of demons in Beiju Luzhou. Of course, if you do this, Yuchen Tianzun will probably also be infected with the great cause and effect of violating the Heavenly Dao, and I am afraid that the Dao will be damaged.
After all, the Dao of Heaven is the most just, and for the Dao of Heaven, even if it is a demon, it is also life. One or two are enough, but Jin Que Yuchen Tianzun wants to destroy hundreds of millions of lives!
From the demon's point of view, his move is tantamount to a great evil.
However, these things are not what Ao Qing should think about now. He asked the golden cicada, "Even if this is the case, what should I do?" ”
Jin Chanzi asked: "I only ask Daoyou, what thoughts did you have in your heart when you killed those demons?" ”
Ao Qing said: "I don't have any ideas. However, those demons who died at my hands deserve it. Even if I destroyed them, I didn't feel the slightest guilt. If you have to find a reason, it is ...... 'killing is to protect life, and cutting karma is not killing people'. ”
When Jin Chanzi heard this, his eyes were happy, and he suddenly got up and said, "Okay!" This statement of Taoist friends can be said to completely express my inner thoughts. It's a good one to kill for the nurse, and to kill the industry is not to kill people! Daoyou really didn't disappoint me! And this sentence is quite in line with my Buddhist statement. ”
Jin Chanzi's actions made Ao Qing a little surprised in his heart, he always felt that something seemed wrong, and said, "You mean ......"
"I want to benefit all living beings. However, the difficulty of sentient beings can only find another way! ”
Jin Chanzi said: "I have seen through in Xiniu Hezhou, relying only on Buddhism, I will never be able to educate living beings, let alone transform demons. Even if it could, it would take ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years, to be able to educate a dozen demons, and in the process, there would be infinite variables that would cause more innocent beings to suffer. Therefore, in my opinion, like Daoyou, directly destroying the gods and demons and scattering their souls, and doing this to kill the common people is the real way to purify all sentient beings. ”
Ao Qing frowned: "So, is it too angry?" Moreover, the so-called 'killing for the protection of life, cutting karma rather than killing people' is actually not in line with the teachings of Buddhism. In essence, it is not the statement of the Buddha. ”
Although, this phrase was famous and widely known in previous lives. But to be honest, this is basically contrary to the purpose of Buddhism.
Moreover, Ao Qingzi also felt that Jin Chanzi's understanding of this sentence was a little poor.
In Ao Qing's view, this sentence is more like "killing" and "beheading" in the process of nursing students. But if you kill people specifically for the sake of protecting life, it is easy to fall astray.
Obviously, that's what the golden cicada thinks.
