Chapter 82: On the Tao (2)
Ye Qingxuan snorted coldly when he heard this, what this monk said sounded good, but in the end it was not the kind of thing that went to worship God and Buddha in order to seek the next life.
The contradiction between Li Yan and Ye Qingxuan, in the final analysis, is still a contradiction between doctrines, if it is placed in the modern world where Ye Qingxuan is located, the contradiction between the two religions is not so acute.
After all, there have been countless confrontations between Buddhism and Taoism in history, all of which have won and lost each other, even if the Taoist gate loses more and wins less, but how to say that it is the ancestor who has been wide, even though the Taoist gate is declining, but the name of Taoism, the name of the Taoist god is widely popular.
Just take an example, I'm afraid that the name of the Jade Emperor is a child, and he can also call it out.
In addition, the Taoist sect is quiet and inactive, often the Taoist people are all secluded in the mountains and forests, practicing themselves, whether it is seeking truth, seeking the Tao or seeking eternal life, these Taoist true cultivators are basically secluded and practiced, not in the world, as long as the Buddhist monks do not come to the door, the real people of the Taoist Gate will not be idle and have nothing to do, to discuss the Tao with them.
In this way, the competition between the two religions is naturally much less, so the Taoist priests travel all over the world to seek Taoism and cultivate the truth, and the Buddha opens the treasure temple widely, collects the merits of incense and fire in the four directions, and spreads the Dharma.
Until the modern society in which Ye Qingxuan lived in his last life, this model can be regarded as an alternative balance.
However, after all, this world is different from modern society, and the mode of getting along between the two religions is naturally not unified.
If it is really like the Buddha and Taoism in his previous life, Ye Qingxuan does not need to preach and carry forward the Taoism, and directly practices the Taoist Xuangong in the Jade Void Temple on the nameless mountain.
But in this way, it is inevitable that the mission will fail, and Ye Qingxuan will die after fifteen years, and he will die with his brain, which is certainly not what Ye Qingxuan wants.
Therefore, Ye Qingxuan must compete with Buddhism.
Judging from Li Yan's strategy against Ye Qingxuan, it can be known that the concept upheld by these monks is too exclusive, and it is precisely because of this that Buddhism can be the first faith in this world.
But for Buddhism, the new Taoist is not put in their eyes at all, the vast world, Buddhism monks do not know geometry, the Feilai Temple of Liyan, is just one of them, there is more Daxingshan Temple in the Jixia School Palace in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the territory of the Han Dynasty, there is also the Shaolin Temple known as the holy land of Buddhism!
At the same time, Buddhism persuades people to be kind, and it is also quite popular among the people, and most people are naturally happy to go to the temple to worship Buddha incense and pray for peace.
But even so, when a monk like Li Yan found out that his belief in flying to the temple was robbed by Ye Qingxuan's jade void, he had to try his best to snatch it back, and even wanted to break Ye Qingxuan's Dao heart, transform it into Buddhism, and accept him as a disciple.
In the history of this world, it is not that there have been other religious beliefs, but these Buddhist monks, invariably, have adopted similar methods, without a trace, to exterminate their Taoism, subvert the teachings, and pass on the degree, which shows the domineering of these monks!
It is precisely because of this that when Li Yan discovered Ye Qingxuan's Daomen, he wanted to make it a degree, and he was full of confidence, after all, all this was just a "convention".
"Abbot Liyan, according to what you said, isn't it anyone who gives to your Buddhism is a destined person in your mouth, so that you can get enlightenment and be blessed by the Buddha!?" Ye Qingxuan naturally has no good impression of Buddhism, these monks have to recite the longitude of others at every turn, and doing so is simply forcibly distorting other people's three views.
Li Yan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Ye Qingxuan distort the teachings of Buddhism so much, and then the ignorance karmic fire in his heart suddenly rose, and his eyes were cold, and he couldn't maintain the compassion on his face, but in the end, Li Yan has practiced Buddhism for decades, and the Dharma is profound, and after taking a long breath, he finally suppressed the ignorance.
"Nan Wu Amitabha!" Li Yan proclaimed a long Buddha trumpet, and then said, "Don't talk nonsense and distort my Buddha's Dharma, my Buddha once said that anyone who believes in my Buddha can get the right result, only idealism, it is not like what the donor said, in terms of generosity." ”
"Oh, in that case, why do you, an old monk, prefer to call Poor Dao a benefactor?" Ye Qingxuan smiled faintly, and turned his hand to whisk the dust, "Poor Dao has long said that he will not give to you Buddhism, since the abbot said that those who believe in you can get positive results, then Poor Dao does not believe in you, and naturally has nothing to do with you."
In this case, the poor path and you are just a stranger, how can you be called a donor? The poor path is also a monk, a cultivator, and the word "donor" is absolutely unacceptable!"
It's not that Ye Qingxuan is chewing words with Li Yan here, but he wants to discuss the title, but Ye Qingxuan really wants to break the domineering Buddhist teachings of the old monk Li Yan through this title.
In the eyes of Buddhism, people in the world, no matter which sect or school, whether they are martial arts practitioners, or Confucian scholars, are just poor people who do not understand Buddhism and do not recognize enlightenment and struggle in the sea of suffering.
These poor people need a great monk like him to save them, and correspondingly, these poor people who accept their salvation will naturally be generous and serve the Buddha.
It can be said that at the beginning, Li Yan did not put Ye Qingxuan or anyone on an equal footing with him.
In his view, he is a great monk, enlightened and enlightened, and a Taoist monk who has come to rescue the people of the world who are struggling in the sea of suffering.
The monks of this world think that their teachings are all ordinary, even if they are slightly different, but they are always the same in the general direction, so they will always show a compassionate appearance when they see people.
Because, in the eyes of these monks, everyone in the world is suffering, and they need to be tempered by Buddhism and practice enlightenment in order to get out of the sea of suffering.
And they are the messengers of the Buddha and the guides who pass on the Dafa of enlightenment.
Ye Qingxuan wants to break through the Dharma of Li Yan from this most basic title, and Li Yan naturally understands people, so the two of them will not easily want to let go when they fight.
"Donor, why are you so stubborn?" Li Yanyan's face was even more compassionate when he heard this, "You must know that the sea of bitterness is boundless, and it is the shore ...... to turn back."
"It's this set again!" Ye Qingxuan rolled his eyes in his heart, and he didn't know if this old monk was conceited or confident, the last time he was in front of Qingliang Temple, it was this set of bitter sea theory, which made his braids speechless, and now he actually took it out again?
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Ye Qingxuan laughed, and then said, "Abbot Liyan, I said it last time in the poor way, not to mention that there is no bitter sea in the world, even if there is really a bitter sea, the poor road is the one with the heart of the Tao, practice your own body, use your body as a treasure raft to cross the world, cross the bitter sea, and eventually land on the other side, go and see the scenery behind the other side!"
Or the last time, is it true that your Buddhist practice of enlightenment will only make believers turn back?
"Nan Wu Amitabha!" Li Yan's face showed a look of suffering, and he proclaimed the Buddha's name, "Everyone in the world wants to have fun, and there are a few people who have great perseverance.
If the rest of you believe in my Buddha, you will naturally be able to ask for a blessing in the next life!"
Ye Qingxuan smiled when he heard this, and then said unhurriedly, "According to what the abbot said, the believers are divided into three, six, nine, and so on, and those who have great perseverance can get the right results, and the rest are just asking for good fortune in the next life, so it is inconsistent with what the abbot said, isn't it?"
Poor Dao clearly remembers, Fang Cai Li Yan Abbot said that anyone who believes in the Buddha can get the right result, idealism, why is it now that all those who have great perseverance can get the right result?
You must know that the monks don't talk nonsense, but the abbot speaks in a good language, isn't it fooling the believers when you say this? In that case, what kind of face do you have to proclaim Amitabha Buddha here and call the poor Taoist a benefactor?"
"You...... Stubborn!" Li Yan was caught by Ye Qingxuan, and he was speechless for a while, "My Buddha is compassionate, Qingxuan, you say this, distort my Buddhist teachings, you have already entered the Demon Dao, and this is going to fall into the eighteenth layer of hell!"
