Chapter Seventy-Two: Cultivating Immortals Does Requires Culture?

Zhao Xiaobai suddenly threw out such a question, which aroused the interest of many people at once.

Everyone in the hall immediately chattered and answered, some answered "Hongmeng Universe", some answered "Heaven and Earth Chaos", and some answered "the heart of a saint......

The answer of the monks is: Buddha mind. The Buddha is benevolent, and the virtue is all kinds.

High!

The answer of the Taoist priests is: Tao, or simply the Gate. The Tao is the truth of heaven and earth, inspiring people to explore, and there is no end to it.

As for the "Gate of Xuanqi", it is a metaphor of the Taoist ancestor, which is nothing more than the beginning of the Tao: the Tao is the origin of all things, and the Tao gives birth to all things.

Wonderful!

Even His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as well as the princesses, palace concubines, princes and ministers, envoys of other countries, and celebrities in the world have all given their own answers.

The answers of the princes and ministers are relatively the same, and they are roughly the same: the emperor's heart. For them, the "Emperor's Heart" is the most unfathomable and terrifying. All his life, he has been thinking hard about speculating about the emperor's heart, and it is difficult to sleep and eat.

His Majesty's answer is: Heaven and Earth and the people's livelihood.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's answer is: the hearts of heaven and earth and the people.

The answers of the two princes are the same, they are: Jiangshan Sheji.

Their respective mentalities can be seen at a glance.

Among the palace concubines, someone actually gave such an answer: eyelids!

This is an epoch-making answer, cunning and wisdom, rare. Well, there is culture!

Zhao Xiaobai was a little surprised: There are so many people who are infinitely close to the standard answer? In this era, that is amazing! Human wisdom is really like the sea water that cannot be beaten.

But why is it that in such an era, people's understanding of the Hongmeng universe is still that the sky is round, the sky has nine layers, and the earth has nine layers?

Throughout the ages, so many cultivators and former pilgrims, have not anyone really traveled to the stars to see or touch the truth of the universe?

Does this incomplete understanding of the universe affect or limit their respective avenues?

Hehe, if that's the case, then isn't it possible that what I'm cultivating is a false path?

There is also the fact that building the avenue is like building the avenue, and building the avenue is also like doing knowledge.

Are there really those lucky people who don't know a lot of words, just smash their heads with pies falling from the sky, get an ancient cheats or some supreme method, and sweep Liuhe with hulala, Hongmeng is invincible?

Is this possible, can he understand the meaning? Is it really that useless to read? Doesn't cultivating immortals need culture......

These questions, if there is a suitable opportunity, they have to be properly resolved.

......

When everyone's eyes looked at him, he stepped out of his long contemplation and replied with a smile: "Yes, many people have already mentioned it just now. ”

"My answer is, the human heart is the biggest!"

Suddenly the sound of "oh oh" in the hall continued, some people showed confused expressions, some people nodded frequently as if they suddenly realized, and some people sighed for a long time......

Zhao Xiaobai continued: "Why do you say that? Do you think, Hongmeng Chaos, its big and unknowing, can be described as the biggest and biggest, right?

But as long as our eyes can see, or even as long as our minds can imagine the place, no matter how far away the sun, moon and stars, no matter how big the chaos of heaven and earth is, we can put it in our hearts, how big do you say this person's heart should be?"

"And what could be bigger?"

Suddenly, more people in the hall showed a knowing look, and those who are broad-minded can fit the Hongmeng universe!

Zhao Xiaobai changed the topic again, and said to himself: "But if someone asks the poor Dao, what is the smallest in this universe." ”

"My answer is the same: human hearts!"

This time, he didn't ask people to answer, but directly said the answer. This answer immediately surprised many people, and their faces were confused.

He smiled faintly, and said in a slightly teasing tone:

"As we all know, many times, some so-called broad-minded human beings can't hold sesame mustard in their hearts. ”

Suddenly, many people grinned and laughed.

Guozi Priest Liquor shook his head below and said, "What can't be said about this?

Then he staggered and said word by word: "It is the so-called anger of the horseman, blood splashed five steps, the anger of the strong and powerful, the blood and pestle, the anger of the king, the change of hands, the anger of the immortals, the overturning of the river and the sea!"

Someone immediately chimed in: "And also, hehe, Madame is angry, sad and miserable, haha......"

The hall suddenly burst into laughter, and some people even choked in their throats, and couldn't help but laugh out loud with the sound of a donkey!

After the various emotions in the hall calmed down a little, Zhao Xiaobai said earnestly: "Since the human heart is so complicated, even if the Buddha has the wisdom of a saint, how can he gain insight into them one by one?"

"Since a Buddha is a thing in the depths of the soul, what is a Buddha in the end, and how can there be an answer that will remain unchanged through the ages?"

The hall was silent, and many people nodded their heads in appreciation.

At this time, Zhao Xiaobai hung the golden hook upside down, returned to the question itself, and said: "Buddha Day: All living beings are Buddhas! This is a slogan of self-motivation for Buddhist disciples and believers, which can be described as the words of a family. ”

"If you talk to yourself behind closed doors and don't impose on others, no one will blame you. ”

"But now in the world, there are several religions standing side by side, each with countless supporters and thousands of believers. If you say such things in front of the public, especially on an occasion like today, it will be a big talk, and you don't know the severity, and it can be said that your heart is condemnable!"

"If the Wensheng lineage, or my Taoist disciple, someone does not argue right and wrong, but also says such things, it is actually equivalent to comparing himself to a Buddhist believer, but he can be regarded as a scholar who forgets his ancestors and is the scum of his own sect!"

"For example, if someone asks, 'What is the Tao?' I would reply, 'All living beings are Tao, do you recognize it, and do you recognize the Buddha and the saints of all religions?'

If I were to extend it a little further, I would say that the answer would be: I am the Word! How crazy this is!"

"Doesn't this mean that I represent the supreme truth of heaven and earth, the true knowledge of the world, and the laws of nature?"

"Where will these words put all living beings in the world, and where will the sages of the ages be placed?"

"How can there be such a madman in the world who dares to spit out such deceptive words?"

Talking about a few words, the essence of the matter, especially the last metaphor, is already turning a corner to accuse Wudu, and directly reprimanding him for the answer, in fact, it is equivalent to saying "He is a Buddha", which seems particularly arrogant and ignorant!

Wudu originally wanted to defend himself, because he knew that the Buddhist scriptures said, "The Buddha has no appearance, but is the appearance of all beings", so all living beings are Buddhas.

But how can you say this!

What is the difference between the phrase "for all sentient beings" and "all sentient beings are Buddhas"?

If you say this, wouldn't you be a bloody dog who will be scolded again?

At this moment, he couldn't help but be shocked and confused: the so-called sentient beings are naturally all the people and all kinds of living beings in the world. But as this white Taoist said, there is not only Buddhism in the world!

"The Buddha has no appearance, but is the appearance of all beings", isn't that saying, even the venerable ones of the world's literary saints and demon saints...... Also in the form of a Buddha?

Even so, what can he do if he doesn't recognize you, how can he admit it if he preaches his teachings and you preach yours!

Buddhism has the appearance of the Buddha, then the Taoist has the appearance of the Great Dao, the appearance of the real person, the Confucianism has the appearance of the sage, the appearance of the wise, how can the appearance of the Buddha be all-encompassing?

O Buddha of the gods.

People in the world can believe in the Buddha and the Tao, and they can believe in Confucianism or not at all, so how can they say that all sent beings can be said in the words of our Buddha?

Alas~~ Since then, the poor monk has a lack of Buddha's heart, and it is difficult to learn Buddhism!
