Chapter 67 Do You Dare to Talk About Double Standards?
Lin Heng's eyebrows were slightly raised.
There have been exchanges about the Dharma and the Tao in previous years, which was not uncommon.
In the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, Taoism was gradually abandoned by the world, and a large part of the reason was that the world admired the concept of Buddhism more.
Probably for this reason.
In the early years, Buddhist monks would often refute Taoist priests in the name of communicating Taoism.
The next step is to announce the entire process of communication to the world.
It is up to the world to judge the Dharma and the Tao, which is higher or lower?
And as a result, the former often wins big and the latter loses face.
Taoist believers, step by step, 'abandon the dark and turn to the light', were absorbed by Buddhism.
Speaking of which.
In fact, in Changshi, twenty years ago, there was an exchange of Buddhism and Taoism.
That time it was the late Zen master of the Zen Ling Temple against the late Lingfeng Master of the Lingxi Temple.
Lin Heng heard the situation of that day talk about the situation of that day.
The result is still the same result.
Master Lingfeng was identified as speechless, and the prestige of Zen Ling Temple in the hearts of the people of Changshi has since climbed to the peak.
Later, the communication between Buddhism and Taoism became very rare.
But Lin Heng didn't expect that the Zen master from the Great Light Temple in front of him would have a long-lost Buddhist debate with him?
Thinking of this, Lin Heng couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
"Okay, since the master is so interested, it's okay to accompany the poor Dao."
"Please."
Lin Heng said lightly, the whole person was light and light.
When the pilgrims saw this, they were all excited.
"The exchange between Buddhism and Taoism, this is a big bustle!"
"I thought it was just to look at this master, but I didn't expect to see the monks of the Great Bright Temple, and what is even more surprising is that I can also witness a long-lost battle for the concept of Buddhism? I took leave to come here today, what a bloody earning! ”
"Haha, this kind of opportunity is rare, I have to record it quickly!"
"Yes, yes, yes!!"
Many people took out their phones to take pictures.
Lin Heng didn't care about this.
Not to mention the Zen Ling Temple side, they wish that this battle of Buddhist and Taoist concepts could be widely spread!
The corners of Du'e's mouth raised into a smile and said:
"Since that's the case, then the old man has the cheekiness to ask for advice."
"Lao Qu has heard of Taoist people, pays attention to inaction, and goes with the flow."
"Lao Ke has always deeply agreed with this attitude, and he is very supportive of this kind of mind cultivation."
"Don't force it, don't be obsessed, everything goes with the flow, naturally."
"But ......"
Du Er paused, a sneer flashed in his eyes, and said:
"The old man is very puzzled, since Taoism, follow the way of non-action and nature."
"Then why are the people in the Dao Sect so obsessed with cultivating immortals? Or even ascend to the right path, rank in the immortal class, and enshrine it as a lifelong pursuit? ”
"You must know that this path of cultivating immortals and preaching is to act against the sky."
"Since Taoism follows the way of non-action and nature so much, why should it do such a thing against the sky?"
"Isn't this contrary to the fundamental ideals of Taoism?"
"In this regard, the old man is so confused in his heart, he doesn't know the master, can you explain one or two?"
After Du Er finished speaking, he looked at Lin Heng with a provocative expression.
The onlookers all stared in contemplation and nodded secretly.
"Yes, people in Taoism pay attention to going with the flow, and since they go with the flow, they should not have the heart to force it."
"But the Taoist disciples are all obsessed with cultivating immortals and preaching."
"Don't talk about it from afar, just say that the viewer in front of him, just now said that it's okay not to disturb the poor Dao cultivator?"
"Obviously, this cultivation of immortals is the obsession of people in Taoism."
"Since there is an obsession, how can we follow the natural path of non-action?"
Many people frowned, feeling that the question asked by the Zen master of the Great Light Temple was very reasonable.
It's food for thought!
Fa Ling and others in the Zen Ling Temple, not to mention.
A moment ago, this Lin Heng said that it was okay not to disturb the poor Dao Immortal.
In the next second, Du Er raised the conflict between the obsession of cultivating immortals and the way of nature.
It's a question that hits the nail on the head!
It's too high, it's wonderful!
"It's really worthy of being the elder of the Great Light Temple......
Kong Wen and the others were secretly frightened, and they felt more and more that none of the people who could mix in the Buddhism Gate and occupy a high position were simple characters.
"Lord Lin Guan, let's talk about it."
"We're curious about that too?"
"I feel Taoist, a bit of a double standard?"
Emptiness spoke again, a defiant smile on his face.
Lin Heng glanced at him indifferently, then looked at Du Er, and said lightly:
"Poor Dao still thinks that he is a master, what is the big confusion?"
"I didn't expect it to be such a shallow question, but if the master has the slightest understanding of my Taoism, he should also know that my Taoism is practiced, and what he really seeks is to do what he wants from his heart."
"The master said that the rule of inaction, but what does it mean to do nothing?"
"Do nothing, do nothing, do what I think, don't do nothing."
"It never means doing nothing and letting it develop naturally,"
"The original intention of going with the flow is to do what you want, and don't do it if you don't want to do it."
"This nature refers to the heart."
"Everything is with my heart, I want to escape the world and cultivate immortals, I am a wild man in the mountains, I want to help the world and save the people, I am walking the world."
"So, if I want to cultivate the Tao of Immortals, what conflict can I have with the natural path?"
Lin Heng narrated, calmly.
This remark made many pilgrims frown, and then nodded secretly.
And Lin Heng then said: "In addition, Poor Dao wants to correct your opinion of my Taoism. ”
"Taoism has never had an absolute purpose."
"Taoism will not have any absolute purpose in the future."
"The Tao is everywhere, everywhere."
"The Tao is heaven and earth, all living beings, the clear sky and the blue sea, and the grass grows and insects sing."
"The Tao is all-encompassing, how can you be like your Buddhism, sticking to rules and regulations?"
Lin Heng's words were like a sting sound in the flat ground.
The pilgrims present were deafened and kept muttering:
"The Word is heaven and earth...... It's the ...... of all beings."
"The Tao is all-encompassing, not subject to rules."
"This ...... Is this the nature of Taoism? ”
Many frowned, lost in thought, and then suddenly became enlightened.
And the people of the Doom and the Zen Ling Temple were all angry.
They never imagined that this young Taoist priest in his early twenties in front of them would be able to say such lofty remarks......
Wrong...... It's a fart pattern.
Clearly is sophistry!!
The monks were angry, but they didn't know how to refute it.
On the contrary, it was Lin Heng, who looked at emptiness with disdain at this time, and said coldly:
"In addition, this master said that I am a Taoist double standard?"
"Why do you think that when it comes to double standards, you have to be the best at Buddhism?"
Emptiness was stunned: "What do you want to say?" ”
