Jieluo City is still quite far away from Lingshan, the northern desert is vast and sparsely populated, there are not many places suitable for human survival, and the cities are far away from each other.

Although the Buddha of the Northern Desert is respected by the Buddha, it does not mean that all the monks in the Northern Desert are there, which is completely a misunderstanding of people who have never been to the Northern Desert!

In fact, Buddhism is equivalent to the state religion in the Northern Desert, occupies a dominant position, and has the absolute right to speak!

After generations of management, in today's Northern Desert, the monks of Buddhism have a transcendent status and are supported by the people of the Northern Desert.

For the people here, except for the teachings of Buddhism, all other beliefs will be regarded as heresy, ruthlessly expelled or even exterminated!

However, in recent times, different voices have emerged within Buddhism, and they have grown rapidly and spread, and there is a faint tendency to compete with the original teachings.

This was unthinkable in the past Buddhism! Because the teachings of the Buddha are the mantras of the Buddha and the only truth in the teachings, if there are different remarks, then they are questioning what the Buddha said, and they are regarded as the Buddha's rebellion!

However, this new statement is different, it has the support of some arhats and other high-level leaders, and even has the support of bodhisattvas behind them, and it quickly spreads, with many supporters, forming a contradiction with the original teachings.

It is precisely because there are such great changes within the Buddhism that while the Western Wilderness and the Southern Barbarians used troops against the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the monks and soldiers in the Northern Desert did not form a timely and effective attack, which has to be said to be the luck of the Tang Kingdom!

Imagine, if the three parties use troops against the Eastern Tang Dynasty at the same time, then under the internal and external troubles, the Tang State is powerless to parry, even if it can resist the pressure of Xuantian Sect, after the three borders are broken, the foreign enemy will approach Chang'an, and it will be powerless to return to the sky!

Now that there is less pressure from the Northern Desert, Xuantian Sect is entrenched in Yunzhou, and his intentions are unknown. Only facing the Western Wilderness and the Southern Barbarians, the situation of the Eastern Tang Dynasty is still difficult, but it is not impossible to turn the tables!

When the caravan stopped, the painting bone also showed her extremely terrifying intelligence ability, and roughly described the specific changes in Buddhism to Lin Yan.

Hearing this, Lin Yan frowned slightly, and said, "Sister Painting, are you saying that a new doctrine has emerged in Buddhism?" ”

He had known that something was wrong within the Buddhism, but the different statements and the emergence of new teachings were completely different concepts, even very different!

The former only has doubts about the current doctrine, and at most proposes to improve and revise it. But the latter is different, it is a question of today's teachings, and a completely new theory, even contrary to today's teachings, which is too shocking to the world, and it is no wonder that Buddhism has such a big reaction!

For this matter, she was also full of shock and disbelief when she first learned the news, but now it seems that it is true!

Her red lips opened slightly, her voice was soft, and she said: "I don't know much about the specifics, but I know that the theoretical basis of the new doctrine was put forward by a young monk, and above the Buddhist Society, he denounced the original teachings of Buddhism as Hinayana and believed that Buddhist monks accept worldly offerings, but they only cultivate their own bodies in order to complete their own transcendence, which is inferior!" ”

In his theory, 'universal sentient beings' should not be just a slogan, but should be put into practice. Cultivating one's body and becoming a Buddha is not a skill, but the difficult thing is to become a Buddha by all beings, which is what the disciples of the Buddha Sect should do! ”

Lin Yan listened to the description of the painted bones, and said slowly: "What he thinks is that all living beings can become Buddhas!" ”

Painted bones said: "Do you think he's crazy!" Don't say it's a Buddha, even if it's the most notorious Buddha of Joy in the Buddhist sect, it's an existence that ordinary people can't imagine! ”

"Where is it so easy to attain a Buddha, if everyone can become a Buddha, then isn't the whole world a genius of cultivation?"

Lin Yan thought quietly, pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "Perhaps, this 'Buddha' does not refer to a specific person, a specific level and realm, but a state of mind. ”

The painting bone raised his eyebrows slightly, and said suspiciously: "The state of the mind? ”

Lin Yan nodded and said, "This is just a guess on my part, this aspect of martial arts cultivation can be directly ruled out, because even the most wise disciples of the Buddhist sect dare not say that they will definitely be able to become Buddhas, let alone the vast number of beings in this world?" ”

"Therefore, the new doctrine should be to make all beings in the world reach a state similar to 'the Buddha's mind is unsullied', so that all strife and war will cease to exist, and the world will become a true pure land!"

Then, he shook his head and said, "This is just an extremely ideal state, and it is not easy to achieve it!" ”

Moreover, the original Buddhist doctrine was that believers made offerings to their own bodies in order to achieve their own transcendence. This newly emerged doctrine has reversed it, which is to offend the interests of all levels of the original Buddhist sect, and it will inevitably cause a great backlash! ”

Painting Bone nodded, the truth is just as Lin Yan expected, according to the latest news, the new doctrine faction has been strongly suppressed, if it were not for the support of the Bodhisattva and the Arhat, the young monk who proposed the doctrine would have been forced to return to the Western Bliss long ago!

She smiled and said, "If you want me to say, that little monk really can't speak, and denounces the teachings of Buddhism as 'Hinayana', and the theory he himself puts forward is called 'Mahayana', and anyone who listens to it will be angry!" ”

Lin Yan did not refute it, but the most fundamental reason for this dispute between "Mahayana Buddhism" is the conflict of interest behind the old and new theories, which involves a huge amount of complexity and is not easy to reconcile. If it is not handled well, the Buddhism may split!

Hua Gu continued: "Actually, sister, I don't care about this, it's good for Buddhism to be chaotic, the more chaotic it is, the more opportunities we have!" ”

Lin Yan nodded, in the past, they would probably kill themselves when they broke into the Buddhist sect, but now they can fish in troubled waters, and they think that Momen also saw this opportunity!

He looked at the painting bone and asked, "Sister painting, I don't know how the preparation in the door is?" ”

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible! Infiltrating the Buddhist sect to save people is not a trivial matter, but it is a gamble of life, so you have to be cautious!

The painting bone "giggled" twice and said, "Brother rest assured, the matter has been arranged, and there are still many capable people in my family." ”

Lin Yan did not doubt this, from Qiu Lao's mouth and the classics of the academy, he knew that Momen could produce many people when it was prosperous, involving many aspects. Even if it is declining now, it still retains a considerable degree of strength.

Next, the two of them matched the specific plan of action, after all, Lin Yan couldn't rush in to save people as if he was stunned. He wanted to use this to establish his prestige and integrate Momen as soon as possible, instead of using others as a knife to send him to death.

After talking about the matter, the charming eyes stared at Lin Yan, his eyes flowed, and he said coquettishly: "My brother is such a young hero, he will definitely be able to integrate Momen in the future and regain the glory of the past, but my sister is very confident in you!" ”

Lin Yan smiled shyly and said, "Sister has won the prize!" ”

The painting bone got up, the lotus step moved lightly, and walked to Lin Yan with a curling grace, and suddenly his feet slipped, and he was about to fall into Lin Yan's arms, who was quick and held her shoulder.

Lin Yan said: "Be careful. ”

A touch of blush appeared on the face of the painted bone, and his voice was soft, and he said, "What do you think, what does my sister think?" ”

Her eyes were raised, and she looked at Lin Yan directly, which seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, with a hint of delicacy in the charm, which made people can't help but feel pity.

"Ahem!" Lin Yan restrained his mind, straightened the painting bones, and then said, "Sister is naturally excellent!" ”

The painting bone smiled and said softly: "That ......"

Before she could continue to speak, Lin Yan suddenly said: "I just remembered that there was an important matter that I didn't do, so I left first and said goodbye!" ”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for the bones to react, and his figure left the room in a puff of smoke.

The painting bone was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Lin Yan, who fought alone in the realm of heaven and man with one person and one sword, would have such an embarrassing time, it was really ...... It's a little cute! ”

……

After leaving the room, Lin Yan remembered one thing, he forgot to ask who the little monk who put forward the teachings of "Mahayana Buddhism" was, but now this atmosphere is not good for the time being, and then turn his head back, that is, to suppress this question first, fortunately it is not very important.

Since the teachings of this "Mahayana Buddhism" were proposed, the founder has not been the key, but the game of forces behind the old and new teachings.

Lin Yan believes that even those arhats and even bodhisattvas who support the teachings of "Mahayana Buddhism" do not necessarily believe in this new teaching, but that it is in their interests!

To create a new teaching, not only the founders themselves, but also the first bodhisattvas and arhats to become the first founders, is of great significance!

Moreover, it was only a young monk who put forward the theory, and it was actually these high-level people who had the right to speak.

Putting all this aside, even from the perspective of Buddhism as a whole, "Mahayana Buddhism" is indeed more conducive to proselytizing.

Unlike the people of the Northern Desert Buddha Kingdom, the people in the rest of the region do not worship the Buddha so blindly and offer to them willingly, and the concept of "everyone can become a Buddha" propagated by the "Mahayana Buddhism" can gain a large number of followers in a very short time, so that the teachings of the Buddha can be spread to other regions more smoothly.

It is conceivable that if a large number of people's faith can be harvested in the Nine Domains of the Metaverse, then what a terrifying and powerful state the Buddha Sect will reach!

At that time, as soon as the Northern Desert Buddha Kingdom order comes out, the people's will is wanted, who else can compete with it?

"Words have power!" Lin Yan sighed in his heart.

Since ancient times, the pen of the scholar has used the power of words to play with the general trend of the world, and this group of monks who do not produce is also not weaker than the wisdom of the reader.

They are reciting Buddhist scriptures, but they are playing with people's hearts, and they may affect the whole world!
