Chapter 476: The Buddha is not a Buddha
Feng Linwan's answer, although it caused an uproar to a certain extent, was actually not as imagined, ushering in all kinds of verbal criticism and even loud scolding.
On the contrary, there are quite a few old monks who have read the scriptures and nod, smiling and nodding, obviously agreeing.
"Uncle So, what do you think is a Buddha?" asked the little novice as he was instructed.
Feng Linwan did not give more detailed answers, but said briefly: "The Buddha is in the world." ”
Interpretation?
You don't have to explain, throw out an answer, or a plausible answer, and there will naturally be countless people who will help solve it.
These four words can extend many layers of meaning.
Xiao Shami nodded, and suddenly asked, "Then dare to ask Uncle Shi, do you think the Buddha is a Buddha?"
This question is obviously a killer move.
Before Feng Linwan said that the Buddha is in the world, the meaning expressed is nothing more than that all living beings in the world have Buddha nature, have the heart to practice, and those who eliminate evil for good are all Buddhas.
And in this world where there is no immortality, there is obviously no true Buddha in the sense of cultivation.
For many practitioners, Buddha is nothing less than a symbolic concept.
I don't know which ancient Buddha passed on the morality of Buddhism to the world through what means.
Having said that, no one has ever seen the Buddha, but the existence of the Buddha cannot be denied.
This is faith, not scriptures or doctrines.
Although they have the same origin, they are different definitions.
However, this question is connected to the previous question, if Feng Linwan answers no, of course, the previous answer is maintained. but fell into a trap.
If the answer is yes, it is self-defeating and self-defeating.
"A Buddha is not a Buddha!" replied Feng Linwan.
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar all around.
Many Buddhist monks who already regarded Feng Lin Wan as a spiritual teacher were even more devastated.
Feng Linwan said: "The Buddha is also enlightened, and the ancestor symbolizes status, and consciousness and status are naturally different. So, as a result of different definitions of different concepts, the Buddha and the Buddha are also different. ”
Feng Linwan: This is sophistry.
It's simply a copy of a white horse and a non-horse.
Although it was a bit suspicious of stealing the concept, he successfully crossed the crisis and answered the question.
The little novice was speechless... Or the person behind the control of the little novice is speechless.
Without waiting for Xiao Shami to ask again, Feng Linwan preemptively said: "Since my nephew is so leisurely, my uncle will also ask you a question." Let's ask... There are Buddhas in the world, and there are Buddhas in the heavens?"
Feng Linwan's question is strange, and he interprets it more.
Little Novice··· Or those behind the little novice, it is difficult to unify an answer.
This is Feng Linwan's scheming, his question is not too difficult, but there can be many answers to the question.
It is used against those who calculate him.
Seeing the change in the face of the little novice, he opened his mouth several times, and the things he said did not match the preface and the afterword, and even contradicted himself.
Many of the monks present were not fools.
Among them, there was an old monk with a white beard and white eyebrows, and suddenly laughed: "The sludge comes out of the white lotus, and there is a real Buddha in the fake monk." ”
Then he bowed down to Feng Lin Wan and said: "The monk is a monk, he is already homeless, since he has no home, why don't the holy monks drive my Tianmen Temple, and the old man must abide by the law." ”
In terms of hard power, Tianmen Temple is indeed far inferior to the Hanging Temple.
However, Tianmen Temple has a long history, much older than the Hanging Temple, and there are many people who devote themselves to cultivating Buddha and do not practice. On this planet, the status of Buddhism is even faintly higher than the Hanging Temple.
And the one who opened his mouth was Master Huifang, the old abbot of Tianmen Temple, who was highly respected.
He naturally also knew about Feng Linwan's identity and his embarrassing position in the Hanging Temple.
In this case, when he said this, he obviously wanted to make a move and escort Feng Lin Wan out of the Hanging Temple.
Even because of this, he was hostile to the Hanging Temple.
In a large hall not far away, the face of the abbot of Great Compassion was as black as charcoal, and he miscalculated again.
The slap in the face came so quickly... But it doesn't seem to be a surprise.
"This is a calamity, why did I go blind in the first place, bring him back to the mountain, and accept him as a disciple? Why didn't I just slap him to death?" The abbot of Great Compassion asked himself, and suddenly felt a lot of pain in his chest, and the jade-like Dharma Body couldn't bear this sudden pain.
"I'm in trouble now!" The abbot of Great Compassion breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly found that he was once again difficult to ride a tiger.
A little monk can't let go.
Otherwise, according to this trend, in the future, when the cultivation and fame of a little monk reach the peak, I am afraid that the matter of the Bashan Sword Emperor pressing the sword in the air will repeat itself... Even more tragic.
What's more, now is the time when Yifan Monk is famous all over the world, if he is greeted by Tianmen Temple.
What do the people of the world think of the Hanging Temple?
Isn't it that the hard work of this half a year is equivalent to making a wedding dress for Tianmen Temple in vain?
Moreover, it has to take advantage of the reputation of the Hanging Temple.
"What a Huifang monk! Deceive people too much!" said with great grief and indignation.
The people of Great Compassion who plotted to trap Feng Lin Wan here, but were instead pitted by the opposite side, are furious.
Feng Linwan shook his head in the face of Master Huifang's invitation: "Cultivation is not only about chanting scriptures, interpreting meanings, and passing on thoughts. It is also necessary to practice by yourself, measure the world with your feet, understand the suffering of all living beings, and become them, so as to better help them. ”
"From tomorrow onwards, the sermons will end here. Also from tomorrow, the little monk will go down the mountain alone, experience the three thousand sufferings of the red dust, and travel through the world. ”
Feng Linwan also knew that since Dabei and the others finally couldn't help but make trouble.
It shows that their patience has reached the limit.
Now it's just coming to the dark, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that I'm going to tear my face and come to the light.
Therefore, Feng Lin Wan took the opportunity to carry the momentum and went down the mountain with a glorious excuse and reason.
As for the obstruction from the Hanging Temple?
Look at these 'fanatical fans' around Feng Linwan, these people... Perhaps in three or two months, he will regain his composure and reconsider how to place the position of Feng Lin Wan.
But now, at this moment... Most of them are willing to give up everything for the sake of sealing the forest.
When the crowd is concentrated, if there are a few people who are crazy.
Then under their rendering, almost the whole will become crazy.
The abbot of Great Compassion and others naturally listened to Feng Linwan's words clearly.
"Down the mountain?"
"He's going down the mountain?"
"It's okay! Great suffering! You go to find some people, if you can affect the remnants of Tiansheng, it is the best, if not... Then I changed my outfit. In short... Nothing will survive this month. "The abbot of Great Compassion showed a hideous and ruthless face, and he had the appearance of a monk, and he was completely lost.
He can't be considered a monk!
Just happened to have a shaved head.
On the square, I heard that Feng Lin was going to travel down the mountain.
The monks from various temples opened their mouths one after another, wanting Feng Linwan to go to their temples to place orders and teach the Dharma.
Feng Lin answered one by one, and did not shirk.
Be a monk?
Feng Lin Wan wants to cultivate immortals.
Naturally, it is impossible to be a monk for a lifetime.
It's just that now, it's not the time to break out, and he needs to wait for an opportunity.
