Chapter 58: Dare to ask the Guru what a Buddha is
Ye Wuwu and Cang Yangcuo want to fight.
Hasuike agreed.
This news spread at this moment, and many elders of the Buddhist sect knew about it, and they did not oppose it, but chose to choose a day to carry it out.
Since the history of Buddhism, there have been many such literary fights.
The controversy between Buddhism and Taoism has also existed since ancient times.
Today's three worlds, Yanyun, Xishu, and Great Chu, among which Yanyun is the country, which believes in Buddhism the most, and in the territory of Great Chu, Buddhism and Taoism are mixed, but only Xishu is a country, but it has no sense of Buddhism.
The Buddhism of the Western Regions has made a lot of efforts for this layout, but they have failed to spread Buddhism all over Xishu, because Xishu believes in Taoism.
This time, no matter what Ye Wuwu's identity, he is a contemporary walking disciple of the Taibai Sword Sect after all, even if the Taibai Sword Sect has been dissipated for twenty years, it still can't erase the impression in everyone's hearts.
To put it mildly, it's just a friendly experience for both sides to go down the mountain and communicate with each other.
To put it bigger, this is the Western Regions Buddhism and the Western Shu rivers and lakes.
As long as Ye Wuwu is victorious, coupled with the publicity, it will be much easier for the Buddhist sect to enter the Xishu rivers and lakes.
Therefore, in the past, this kind of cultural fight was almost all the orthodox Taoism of various countries, and the two sides also had their own victories and defeats.
Now Ye Wuwu's behavior has made many Buddhist elders laugh.
Victory given in vain, don't be in vain.
As for whether Xishu Jianghu admits it or not, that's all a later story.
So, after resting for three days, Ye Wuwu followed the lotus pond and walked into the Buddha palace on the snowy mountain.
Of the 680 Buddha Palaces, only this one stands on the snow-capped mountain.
Ye Wuwu stood in front of the door of the Buddha Palace, looking around, as far as the eye could see, there were dense golden Buddha statues, lined up along the aisles on both sides of the Buddha Palace, extending all the way to the main hall.
On both sides of the main hall, there are countless Buddhist elders, some people are smiling, some people are old-fashioned, some people are angry, and they are in different forms.
And the most among them, it was Cang Yangcuo, who was still so plain at the moment, bowing slightly towards Ye Wuwu.
When the two of them sat down with each other, Lianchi looked solemn, but Ye Wuwu could see a sly smile in his eyes.
The so-called Wendou, Ye Wuwu also discussed with him, and finally decided to use dialectics to solve it.
To put it simply, it is a question and an answer.
One asks questions, one answers.
If you can answer correctly, you win.
If the answer is incorrect, the questioner will explain why.
After that, the two sides rotate questions and answers, and whoever can't hold on to give in first, or can't answer again, is considered a defeat.
"The dialectic begins."
Cang Yangcuo looked at Ye Wuwu, who was sitting opposite, with a flat expression.
In this debate, Ye Wuwu is a challenger from afar, and the other party asks questions first.
Ye Wuwu closed his eyes for a moment, then opened his eyes and smiled.
"Master Cangyang, dare to ask what a Buddha is?"
As soon as the words came out, the expressions of the monks in the audience were slightly surprised.
What is a Buddha?
These questions are difficult, and they are not difficult.
Buddhism has spread for many years, so it naturally has its definition of Buddha.
It's just that what the other party is asking is really that? Some of the enlightened monks couldn't help but show contemplation in their eyes.
Cang Yangcuo pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice.
"He who purifies all sentient beings is for the Buddha."
The countless monks who were watching from the sidelines also nodded slightly at this moment, obviously agreeing with Cangyangcuo's statement.
Buddha to all sentient beings, this time Cangyangcuo traveled down the mountain, although it is not a universal sentient being, but it is also regarded as being kind to others.
This is also the consistent emphasis of Buddhism, and such answers are reasonable.
However, Ye Wuwu chuckled.
"Wrong."
Just two words, but there was a trace of doubt in the eyes of countless monks in the hall.
However, Buddhism is not a member of a small family, and there is no dissatisfaction with Ye Wuwu's reply, but waits for Ye Wuwu's explanation.
Cang Yangcuo was also slightly stunned, and then folded his hands and said earnestly.
"I would like to ask Lord Ye for details."
Ye Wuwu said lightly.
"The Buddha crosses sentient beings, but sentient beings, why do Buddhas need to cross?"
[Received Shock +200 from Lotus Pond]
[Received from ......]
Lianchi's eyelids jumped slightly, and he glanced around, and found that most of the monks showed dissatisfaction.
Ye Wuwu didn't care about the looks of the people around him, and when he saw Cang Yangcuo's puzzled gaze, he continued.
"All living beings have their own way."
"In the sea of suffering, there is a Buddha to cross, but have you considered the person who was crossed?"
"Life is made by oneself, the fate of the world should be controlled by oneself, all living beings never need Buddha's crossing, everyone can cross by themselves."
Ye Wuwu's eyes radiated a light and cut the railroad to the fore.
"The Buddha has no appearance, and all living beings are the appearance, so what is a Buddha? My answer is that all living beings are Buddhas. ”
Cangyangcuo was silent.
After a moment, Cangyangcuo folded his hands and looked up and smiled.
"What Lord Ye said is extremely true."
But the monks on the side showed dissatisfaction in their eyes at this moment.
Sentient beings do not need Buddhahood, and these words have already violated their teachings in a way.
But for a while, these monks couldn't think of how to refute, and could only look forward to whether Cang Yangcuo could ask the other party next.
One question and one answer, this time it was Ye Wuwu's victory, and then, Cang Yangcuo asked a question.
Cang Yangcuo's gray eyes showed a little strange color, and then he said solemnly.
"Dare to ask Lord Ye, what is a Buddha?"
Countless monks were stunned at the moment, but they didn't understand the meaning of Cangyangcuo, and only a few senior monks seemed to have realized something, and their eyes showed contemplation.
Lianchi stared at Cang Yangcuo even more, with a strange look in his eyes.
However, Ye Wuwu, after thinking about it for a while, slowly spoke.
"The first question I asked was what a Buddha was?"
"You're asking about the definition of a Buddha?"
Cang Yangcuo clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Lord Ye Shi is a person of great wisdom. ”
Ye Wuwu laughed, and then there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes, and said.
"If you want to, you and I are both Buddhas."
[Received ...... from the lotus pond]
[Received a ...... from Puyuan]
[Received from ......]
Ye Wuwu glanced at the system interface and found that countless people were shocked, but there was no Cang Yangcuo.
At this moment, in the main hall, there was already some noise, many monks were communicating at this moment, and some people stood up to reprimand at this moment.
Obviously, Ye Wuwu's words were a bit arrogant.
Saying that Cangyangcuo is a Buddha, many monks can barely accept it in their hearts, after all, the Buddha of Buddhism, in this life, is also very likely to transcend and become a Buddha.
But you Ye Wuwu, how dare you say this?
Ignoring the chaos around him, Ye Wuwu looked at Cang Yangcuo, who was sitting quietly in front of him, and the other party at this moment still had such a flat expression.
Even if Ye Wuwu said this, for him, it seemed that it was still a breeze.
But Cang Yangcuo showed a hint of curiosity in his eyes and said.
"Why did Master Ye say this?"
Ye Wuwu glanced around, and after seeing that the chaos had been suppressed by the lotus pond, he smiled indifferently.
"Master Cangyang, have you ever seen the true Buddha?"
Cang Yangcuo shook his head slightly.
The Buddha is not in the world, but in the Western Heaven Elysium.
"Then do you know what the Buddha thinks on a daily basis? What do you do on weekdays? ”
Cang Yangcuo was silent for a moment, but still shook his head.
Ye Wuwu smiled and asked loudly.
"What the Buddha does on weekdays, what he thinks on weekdays, is what he has thought about? Or is it based on the heart of nature? ”
Cang Yangcuo's eyes wandered, but he still said in a deep voice.
"The Buddha is already an enlightened being, and he has already attained enlightenment beyond the world, which is naturally based on his heart."
Ye Wuwu listened to Cang Yangcuo's answer, and looked around again, and the monks around him did not have much fluctuation.
Ye Wuwu opened his mouth indifferently and said a word.
The house was in an uproar.
"Can a Buddha know that he is a Buddha?"
