The ministers looked at the Living Buddha in amazement, and then turned their gaze to Jiajing who was holding a wand.

This sentence is like pointing at Jiajing's nose and scolding: You are disrespectful to Buddhism, and you still want to practice to become an immortal, dream of you!

Jiajing's wand froze in mid-air, and the original blessing spell came to an abrupt end. When he pointed his wand at the Living Buddha Tsochen again, he didn't need to look at his lips to know that the mantra in his heart must be

"Avada Quest for Life". What happened to Lao Tzu's worship of Taoism and suppressing Buddha? Lao Tzu is the Son of Heaven! Do you have the ability to recite a scripture and read me to death?

Can you do it? Lao Tzu cultivates the Tao, becomes an immortal, and ascends to the heavenly court, and has no relationship with your Buddha and the West of Bliss, what harm is there?

Although they are all people above, Lao Tzu wants to be a civil servant, not a career editor, and even if the Buddha is higher than me, he is not the leader who cares about me.

Can he fire me? Can he decide whether I am promoted or demoted? He can't care about anything, at most when the two units are fraternizing, I will give him a toast in face, I'm afraid of his fart!

Of course, Jiajing's voice is not so avant-garde, this is what Xiao Feng translated for his senior brother in his heart, and Xiao Feng's translation is probably correct.

Stopping before the senior brother might be mad, Xiao Feng waved his hand at the senior brother first, signaling that you have drunk a little too much, I will come to this glass of wine.

Jiajing was reminded by Xiao Feng, and also understood that it was not appropriate to tear his face with the Tibetan area at this time, so he took back his wand angrily, waiting to see how his junior brother behaved.

"Living Buddha, I would like to ask, what is the situation of the development of Taoism and Confucianism in Tibet? Do the people in Tibetan areas read the Four Books and the Five Classics, and do they cultivate immortals and cultivate the Tao? "This ...... The living Buddha of Tsoqin was speechless for a while, and Tibet is the dominant world of Buddhism, known as the snowy Buddha country.

Although it cannot be said that there are no Taoists and Confucians at all, there are too few and too few to be mentioned.

"Living Buddha, long live although he worships Taoism, he has not destroyed the Buddha, at most he does not believe in Buddhism. But along the way, you naturally also saw temples all over the country. The Central Plains Buddha is still numerous, probably more than the number of Taoists. They live very freely, they also support the imperial court, and the Shaolin Temple also sent monks and soldiers to help the imperial court fight the Japanese invaders. In contrast, in Tibetan areas, Buddhism is unified, and the existence of other religions and cultures is hardly allowed. What position does the Living Buddha have to accuse the imperial court of worshipping the Tao and suppressing the Buddha? "The Living Buddha Tsochen can be sent as an envoy, in addition to the master-apprentice relationship with Lobusang, his own ability is also the key.

The Living Buddha Tsochen is the youngest of the middle and upper class living Buddhas in Tibet, and it is also one of the few living Buddhas who are well versed in the culture of the Central Plains.

So it was impossible for him to be dismissed by Xiao Feng in just a few words. He folded his hands, thought for a moment, and then launched a counterattack.

"The Heavenly Master's words are wrong. The belief in Buddhism among the people in Tibetan areas is voluntary. The prosperity of Buddhism in Tibetan areas and the decline of other religions show that the people want to do so. Whose heart desires? Because Buddhism is the supreme practice, and its fruit is far above the practice of other sects, everyone has no doubt about it. Xiao Feng smiled, he had heard this theory too many times, but he still had to explain it patiently.

"Living Buddha, what is voluntary? What is involuntary? "The Living Buddha of Cuoqin knew that Xiao Feng was about to start fighting, so he responded cautiously.

"Heavenly Master, voluntary means from the heart, and involuntary is forced by external forces, which is self-evident." Xiao Feng smiled: "Living Buddha, is it voluntary for dogs to eat bones?" The Living Buddha Tsoqin nodded and said, "Dogs eat bones from their hearts, and of course they are voluntary. Xiao Feng shook his head: "My family has a dog named Wangcai, when it first arrived at my house, it not only ate bones, but also ate feces very actively. But in the past two years, my family has been rich, not only does it not eat, but even picks and gnaws on the bones. gnaw clean bones, and it secretly takes them to the blessings of the opposite door. So you say, is it voluntary for dogs to eat bones, or is there no choice? "Liu Tong's face in the group of ministers turned red, damn bastard, how many of the hundred officials don't know that your house is the old man's Liu Mansion?

No wonder Laifu is getting more and more arrogant, even the bones dare to dislike on Chinese New Year's Eve, it turns out that he has learned badly with your family's prosperity!

Cuoqin Living Buddha's face changed, and he was very dissatisfied with Xiao Feng's vulgar metaphor, but he had to admit that this metaphor was very appropriate.

"Heavenly Master, it's okay for you to use dogs as metaphors, but you use bones as metaphors for Buddhism, which is a great disrespect to the Buddha, Amitabha, poor monks should recite scriptures for you to eliminate karma." Xiao Feng shook his head: "The Living Buddha's words are wrong, Xiao Feng not only has no disrespect for the Buddha, on the contrary, Xiao Feng has great respect for the Buddha. The Buddha is a person of great virtue, no matter whether he can understand the scriptures Xiao Feng or not, but how can he be disrespectful to people of great virtue? But Buddhism and Buddha are not the same thing. Xiao Feng's tone was sincere, which showed sincerity.

Tsoqin Living Buddha's face was slightly gentle, but he was still not very satisfied.

"The Heavenly Master is very kind in what he said. It's just that I don't know why the Heavenly Master treats Buddhism separately from the Buddha? What's the difference? ”

"Living Buddha, Buddha is one person, Buddhism is a group of people. It is easy for one person to become a person of great virtue, but it is not easy for a group of people to become a person of great virtue. What a sage was Confucius? Its 3,000 disciples have produced only seventy-two talents. Today, there are people all over the world, not to mention the number of 3,000 times and 100 times, but how many people can really compare with Confucius? How knowledgeable is Lao Tzu? After that, Zhuangzi can only be expected. Nowadays, there are many cultivators everywhere, but how many people are there who are truly stable in the Dao heart and have the hope of ascending? Jiajing nodded again and again, saying that the last sentence was very crucial, the junior brother is really a talent, and he speaks well.

Xiao Feng continued: "The Buddha is a great virtue, but now that the Buddha is everywhere, a few people are true and a few people are false, a few people are merciful and a few people are vain, doesn't the living Buddha feel it in his heart? "The Living Buddha of Cuoqin knew that what Xiao Feng said made sense, but he couldn't be convinced at this time, not to mention that Xiao Feng was just talking in generalities, and he couldn't say that there was a solid basis.

"Although there is some truth in what the Heavenly Master said, there are not many famous temples and ancient temples that the Heavenly Master wants to visit, and he has never set foot in Tibet, right? Since he has seen very little, he dares to say that there are many false Buddhas in the world's Buddhism, is this the truth that practitioners should hold? The Heavenly Master is so cultivated as a character, and he is still so prejudiced against Buddhism, it is no wonder that the whole Ming court, since Long live, has been unkind to Buddhism. This sentence of Zen Master Tsoqin is deeply rooted in the essence of debate, that is, you can't lead the way with points, and if you don't investigate, you won't have the right to speak.

This is a truth that is difficult for anyone to deny. Therefore, the civil and military ministers, including Jiajing, looked at Xiao Feng together, not knowing how he would deal with the exquisite counterattack of Zen Master Cuoqin.

Xiao Feng smiled faintly: "Living Buddha, there are many vain disciples and many fake Buddhas in Buddhism, this is not actually what I said, it was said by others." The ministers and Jiajing sighed together, it seemed that Xiao Feng couldn't stand it anymore, and he was about to start throwing the pot, and he didn't know who he planned to throw it to.

Jiajing must not be a backbiter, Xiao Feng knows this very well, and he will definitely not frame his senior brother.

Just find a small role to dump the pot, there is no convincing, and the living Buddha can't recognize it! So...... Everyone's eyes were on Yan Song, no matter in terms of status or friendship, he was definitely Xiao Feng's first choice.

Yan Song was inexplicably sad and indignant, although the old man did not do a good job, but the old man was just corrupt and power-grabbing, patting the sycophants of Taoism, when did he have time to make remarks about Buddhism?

Is the old man so idle? Just when Yan Song was ready to refute and refuse to take the pot, Xiao Feng's next sentence made everyone flash.

"This sentence was said by the Buddha Shakyamuni himself, I just quoted it." Everyone was in an uproar, even Yan Song was stunned, this pot was thrown so high!

Last time, after talking about Xinren, Xiao Feng threw the pot to the sky, and everyone already felt very, very shameless.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng threw the pot to a new height this time, not only threw it into the sky, but also took the angle and direction, and threw it directly into the western sky!

The Living Buddha was also stunned for a long time before he said unhappily: "Heavenly Master, don't say anything, when did the Buddha say that?" Xiao Feng paced slowly, and said in a manly voice: "It is recorded in the "General Discussion of the Lengyan Sutra" that when Shakyamuni had not yet become a Buddha, the demon king Bo Xun tempted him with a beautiful woman and wanted to disturb his practice. However, the Buddha's heart was firm and undisturbable, and the demon king Bo Xun intimidated Shakyamuni with ghost swords, but the Buddha's heart was firm and indestructible, and finally completed his practice and became a Buddha. As soon as Xiao Feng's words started, Cuoqin Living Buddha's head buzzed, knowing that it was broken.

This Wen Xuan Zhenren's cultivation is really profound and extraordinary, he can think of this chapter? I didn't even think about it!

"The Buddha has been teaching the Dharma for many years, and the Demon King Bo Xun has been interfering with him in transmitting the Dharma to the world, but the Dharma is boundless, and the Demon King Bo Xun has always been difficult to succeed. Until the Buddha Nirvana, the demon king Bo Xun found the Buddha, and the two had a conversation. The Demon King Bo Shun said, 'When you were alive, I was not as powerful as you, and after you attained nirvana, I would definitely destroy your Dharma. The Buddha said, 'The Dharma is the supreme Dharma, and you can't destroy it.' The Demon King Bo Xun said, "Human nature is inherently evil, and it depends on great wisdom and great energy to neutralize them." After you attain Nirvana, they will gradually believe that I don't believe you. The Buddha said, 'The light of the Buddha is the light that shines on both the good and the evil, and the bad can be made good, and if you don't repent you will suffer in hell.' The demon king Bo Shun said, "The saint has an impermanence and takes the heart of the people as his heart." Since it is to conform to the human heart, it is not said that the human heart is good or evil, quiet or desired. Since you say that all beings are equal and the light of the Buddha shines, then you will definitely not refuse my disciples to accept your teachings, right? The Buddha said, "When the light of the Buddha shines, your disciples can naturally learn Buddhism as well." "The Demon King Bo Shun said, 'In that case, when you reach the end of the Dharma period, even the Arhats and Bodhisattvas are not walking in the world.

If I tell my disciples and grandchildren to come into your monastic room, put on your robes, distort your scriptures, and destroy your precepts, won't the Dharma be destroyed?

'Living Buddha, as you said in the temple before, this is the end of the Dharma period, and the living Buddhas in Tibet do not have the great supernatural powers of the Dharma rectification period and the Dharma image period in the past.

Now I want to make sure again, according to the Buddhist scriptures, it's the end of the Dharma period, right? The Living Buddha of Tsoqin stood still, and for a long, long time, he nodded with difficulty: "The monks don't speak, and the Buddhist scriptures are contained." After the Buddha preached, the Dharma rectification period was 500 years, the Dharma period was 1,000 years, and now the Buddha has been preaching for 2,000 years, and has entered the end of the Dharma period. Xiao Feng sighed: "Living Buddha, during the end of the Dharma period, the evil master said that the Dharma was like the sand of the Ganges. Among the monks, there is a mixture of fish and dragons, and it is difficult to distinguish between the true and the false. I said that the Buddha and Buddhism are not the same thing, I respect the Buddha, but I can't fully believe in Buddhism, can the living Buddha still have objections? The Living Buddha shook his head heavily.

Then he puffed up his chest again, only this time it felt like something heavy was pressed on his shoulders.

"The Heavenly Master is very knowledgeable, and the poor monks admire him. But what I just said is what is voluntary? What does the Heavenly Master mean by using the metaphor of a dog eating bones? Xiao Feng smiled: "The dog eats bones, not because he loves to eat bones the most, but because he doesn't get the opportunity to choose between bones and meat." Tibetan people believe in Buddhism from birth, their parents and brothers believe in Buddhism, and in his life he believes that believing in Buddhism is the only thing and not optional. Can this kind of voluntary without choice really be called voluntary? The Living Buddha Tsoqin said unwillingly: "But that's for their good, believing in the Buddha can get positive results, they can be reborn in bliss, and they can forever get rid of the suffering of reincarnation." Xiao Feng shook his head and said: "According to the logic of the Living Buddha, the imperial court can also be said to be for the good of the people, so that they can stay away from Buddhism and be deceived by those Buddhas pretending to be under the demon king." No matter who you are, as long as you stand on your own position and do anything, it can be said that it is for the good of others. I believe that even if Xiao Qin wants to create a great famine and starve to death of tens of millions of people, she will definitely be able to say that it is for the good of others, do you believe it or not? The Living Buddha shook his head repeatedly, but he didn't know how to refute it.

He couldn't help but admit that what Xiao Feng said was very reasonable, but he couldn't admit that what Xiao Feng said was reasonable.

"Heavenly Master, how should Buddhism develop according to your reasoning? You can't stop Buddhism just because it's the end of the Dharma period! This is a method of retreat and a common method in debate, which is called the fallacy method.

Since the positive truth can't say anything about you, just follow your reasoning and deduce things to the extreme to prove that what you say is not right.

This trick is often used by Xiao Feng, and it is perfect, and now it is suddenly used by the Living Buddha Cuoqin, which makes Xiao Feng stunned.

"Living Buddha, you are a great monk, in fact, you have the answer to this question in your own heart, but since you asked, I will talk about it. Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, including Confucianism, as long as it develops to a certain extent, it will show the scene of the end of the Dharma period. The general trend of the world, divided for a long time, will be divided for a long time, prosperous and will decline, otherwise the pole will come, the anode and the yin will be born, and the yin will be born and the yang will be born. My generation is unfortunate, born in the period of the end of the law, and should have the heart to shoulder the heavy burden, reverse the ambition of the world, stir up turbidity and promote purity, and clean up the door. I have a few friends who work as errands in the Dharma Department Yamen, and they often say that it is easy to practice in the public gate, because it is where the wicked and the poor in the world are concentrated. Therefore, I think that it is also easy to practice during the end of the Dharma period, because there are too many demons and monsters, too many ghosts and ghosts, which can increase our merits, just like Master Lobusang. If the imperial court doesn't support it, you can still let the people believe in Buddhism, that is really to spread the Dharma by yourself. After giving the people the freedom to choose, they still firmly believe in the Buddha, and that is the true promotion of the Dharma. Although there are many difficulties, why can't the Living Buddha see this as a test for the Buddha to give you a spiritual ordeal and help you attain the attainment of fruition? Living Buddha, the stronger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish! The Living Buddha of Cuoqin was silent for a long time, and suddenly gave a deep bow to Xiao Feng, and his whole body robe was windless, obviously very excited, just like a person who has been in the desert for a long time, and suddenly found a new way to survive.

Jiajing smiled secretly in his heart, the junior brother is really bad, and the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish. I did not support Buddhism, but instead became a tempering and test given to him by the Buddha.

Such high-sounding words used to be said when I fooled hundreds of officials. Then Jiajing's heart suddenly moved, and some aftertastes came.

The words of the junior brother were full of joy and sincerity, as if they were not just for the living Buddha of Tsoqin.

The general trend of the world, is this talking about my great Ming? It's easy to practice inside the public gate, is there a bigger public gate in the world than my Jinluan Palace?

Senior brother, you ...... Who are you answering, it's not like words! Jiajing was still reminiscing about Xiao Feng's words here, and the Living Buddha of Cuoqin over there had already taken a step forward very eagerly and looked directly at Xiao Feng.

"Xiao Tianshi, a poor monk who has practiced for several generations, has seen many eminent monks, but he has never seen a person with deep roots in wisdom like Heavenly Master. The poor monk dared to conclude based on his practice for several lifetimes that the Heavenly Master was born as a Buddha! If you can follow me into Tibet and take refuge in Buddhism, the fruit level is unlimited! If the Heavenly Master is willing, the poor monk is willing to give up the position of the Living Buddha of Tsoqin, become a teacher and friend with the Heavenly Master, practice together, and work hard to revitalize Buddhism! whAt Jiajing woke up from his aftertaste in an instant, almost jumped up, and almost threw the wand in his hand at the Living Buddha of Tsoqin.

Do you dare to rob my junior brother? Do you dare to break my ladder? Do you dare to seal my heavenly gate? Don't you dare... Dare... Dare? Fortunately, Xiao Feng made a timely statement before Jiajing went crazy.

"Living Buddha, you and I have our own destiny, your mission is to revitalize Buddhism, my mission is to revitalize the national fortune, you to rectify the Buddha's position, I to revitalize the Ming Dynasty to ascend...... Helping others soar. There are thousands of avenues, all of which can be good, and there is no distinction between all sentient beings. Although you and I are not on the same path, our hearts are not different, so why bother to stick to Buddhism? The Living Buddha Tsoqin looked at Xiao Feng with regret, and was depressed for a while, and it took a long time to cheer up.

"The words of the Heavenly Master, the poor monks remember. It's just that the poor monk still has a knot in his heart that has not been resolved, and he asks the heavenly master to make it clear. ”

"Living Buddha, please speak."

The parable of the dog eating bones has always been difficult for the poor monk to let go. In order to revitalize Buddhism, poor monks must promote Buddhism in addition to rectifying the portal and eliminating scum. According to the Heavenly Master, if you don't have the opportunity to choose, you can't call it voluntary, and naturally you can't call it your own intention. But how can Tibetans have a real choice? Xiao Feng smiled, he said for a long time, this is what he was waiting for.

If the Living Buddha Tsoqin didn't care about this at all, Xiao Feng couldn't either, but he bet that the Living Buddha Tsoqin cared because he wanted to truly propagate the Dharma.

"Living Buddha, let it go. Whether it is Tibetan or Miaojiang, the future land of Mongolia, and the Jurchens outside the Guan, all need to let go of the confinement of thought. Whether it is Buddhism, Taoism, Confucian classics, the Four Books and the Five Classics, and even more religions and beliefs will be introduced in the future. As long as they teach people to be good, do not disturb the government, do not let the people suffer, and do not strive for power and profit, let them be of their own free will. Those who believe after choosing are those who truly believe, and those who have never had the opportunity to choose, even if they believe, they are not sincere, and their merits are limited. ”
