Volume 1 Small Town Martial Arts Chapter 14 Songs of the rivers and lakes, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.
Buddhism is the Tao, and the dust gives birth to the Tao rhyme. - Li Chunyang
———— old things in the rivers and lakes
The second sentence of the ballad of the rivers and lakes, the east and the west are two heavens.
The east refers to the eastern immortal heaven, and the west refers to the western Kunlun heaven.
Others, Lin Zhan didn't say anything to Xiao Yanli, just said that these two forces were very mysterious, so mysterious that almost no one even knew what these two forces were, and no one knew when these two forces were established, as if they suddenly appeared in the history books. However, there is one thing, it is basically certain, the Immortal Heaven in the east should appear earlier than the Kunlun Heaven in the West, and no one knows how much earlier.
Moreover, these two forces rarely walk around the rivers and lakes in normal times, or Lin Zhan has never heard of these two forces ever sending people to walk around the rivers and lakes since he was born.
Therefore, Lin Zhan didn't know how many people there were in these two forces, and he didn't know who the ancestors of the two forces were.
Xiao Yanli also knew that Lin Zhan was not deliberately hiding himself, but that these two places were really very mysterious, and Lin Zhan really didn't know anything.
Immortal Heaven in the East, Kunlun Heaven in the West. East Changsheng, West Kunlun.
Xiao gradually left the curiosity in the heart of these two forces, no less than Lin Zhan. With the word heaven as the name of the forces, what kind of existence are these two forces?
But no matter how curious Xiao Wanli is, there is one thing he understands very well, that is, with his current strength, it is impossible to come into contact with these secrets of the rivers and lakes, even if his strength is one hundred or ten times stronger, he will be a cannon fodder on the entire rivers and lakes.
Just as Xiao was thinking this, a low, calm, and even cold woman's voice came slowly.
"Jianghu cannon fodder? That's not it, if your current strength is a hundred or ten times stronger, it is enough to be called, Jianghu ~ miscellaneous fish. ”
Xiao Wanli's face turned black in an instant, he was so suffocated that he couldn't say a word, even his pupils were dilated, and he almost suffered his first injury since the crossing, holding back his internal injuries and vomiting ten liters of blood.
"Don't be angry, I'm not angry when others are angry, no one cares when I'm sick, don't be angry. Xiao gradually recited a few words, then calmed down, ignored Hongchen, and continued to sort out the information in his mind that he had just talked with Lin Zhan.
The next sentence of the charlatan.
The Taoism is three clear, and the Dharma gives birth to four phases
Throughout their lives, they were preaching to the world, and they were also competing with each other for Taoism and faith.
Although the Buddha and Taoist ancestors only appeared after the ancient emperor Yu established the Xia Dynasty.
However, the people of the world once had Taoism and Buddhism, and the question of who appeared first.
Although it was once generally believed that the two people who were born and restrained each other appeared in this world at almost the same time.
However, many historians have continued to research and verify the ancient accounts, inscriptions, and murals of many ancient families and various forces located in different places.
In the end, it was concluded that the Taoist ancestor should have appeared earlier than the Buddha. The Taoist Gate also appeared a few years earlier than the Buddhist Gate.
In the past, when the Taoist Buddha was still in this world, they fought with each other, at that time, whether it was a line of Taoism, or a line of Buddhism, they were unified, but the good times did not last long, with the disappearance of the Taoist Buddha, whether it was Taoism or Buddhism, the Taoist system began to split.
By the way, historians have also examined who disappeared first, or whether the two disappeared together.
But as a result, the research was fruitless.
It is not difficult to verify who appeared first in Buddhism and Taoism, as long as there are enough ancient accounts, you can definitely find whether the Taoist system with the nature of Buddhism appeared first, or the Taoist system with the nature of Taoism appeared first. From this, we can know who first appeared the founder of the two lines of Buddhism and Taoism, the Taoist ancestor and the Buddha.
The Taoist Ancestors and Buddhas were all stars of that era, and it was difficult to see them as hard as climbing to the sky, and they didn't often go to the rivers and lakes, and the ghost knows when they disappeared.
After the disappearance of the Taoist Buddha, the Taoist sect and the Buddhist sect were divided by his disciples.
The Daomen line is divided into three factions: the Daomen of Creation, the Daomen of Dragon and Tiger, and the Daomen of Taishang.
The line of Buddhism is also divided into, Shaolin Temple, Western Tantra, Fahua Monastery, and Tianlong Monastery
The Daomen of Creation pursues the creation of heaven and earth, the Dragon and Tiger Daomen focuses on self-cultivation, and the Taishang Daomen pursues the Taishang Forgetfulness, so the Taishang Daomen has not participated much in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.
Shaolin Temple, Tianlong Monastery attaches equal importance to Buddhism and martial arts, while Western Tantra does not emphasize Buddhism and advocates preaching with martial arts. As for the Hokke Monastery, it is a perennial retreat. Very few people have seen its exercises in Buddhist scriptures.
Since the split of Buddhism and Taoism, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has never stopped, but in addition to the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, because the Taoism and Buddhism have been divided, and there is also a dispute between the Taoist systems.
Of the four schools of Buddhism, except for one Fahua Monastery, which rarely moves around the rivers and lakes early, the other three major Buddhist sects all want to prove that they are taught by the Buddha and are orthodox in Buddhism.
This makes the dispute between Dao and Buddha even more cruel, with both internal and external fighting. The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has always been fruitless, and Buddhism will overwhelm Taoism today, and Buddhism will suppress Taoism tomorrow.
However, 6,000 years ago, Li Chunyang, the 'Pure Yang Dao Venerable', was born and led the Creation Sect to completely stand at the top of Buddhism. Li Chunyang's martial arts are superb, in that era, in addition to the title of 'Pure Yang Daozun', there are also Jianghu people who call it 'the first in the world' Li Chunyang.
In that era, Li Chunyang did faintly have the general trend of becoming the first in the world, the first in the world, on the one hand, it refers to the strength, and on the other hand, it refers to the influence on the entire rivers and lakes, because Li Chunyang is the Taoist of the pure yang Daomen, the influence of the rivers and lakes is huge, and the two aspects are combined, in that era, Li Chunyang is faintly the first in the world.
Because the Taoist ancestor appeared before the Buddha, Li Chunyang instructed his disciples to spread to the world, and in the past, the Taoist ancestor once ignited the indigenous people of the Central Plains and the south, that is, the Hu people. The Hu people were ordered by the Taoist ancestors to give birth to consciousness, and gradually developed Buddha nature, and the last Hu people who realized the perfection of their actions became Buddhas.
This means that the Buddha is actually a disciple of the Taoist Ancestor, and it was only after being enlightened by the Taoist Ancestor that he gradually established the Taoist system of Buddhism.
The people of Daxia have the habit of respecting their ancestors, and since the Taoist ancestor is the Buddha's teacher, naturally the Taoist ancestor is also the ancestor of the Buddhist Taoist system. This time, the incense in the world is completely tilted towards the Taoist line.
This incident is known in history as 'Buddha is the Tao' or 'turning Hu into Buddha'.
Li Chunyang's martial arts strength suppressed the Buddhism lineage, and even the Taoist incense suppressed the entire Buddhism, Li Chunyang became recognized as the world's first after the 'Buddha is the Tao' incident.
It was not until a thousand years later that Li Chunyang fell, and several great monks appeared in Buddhism, and the balance of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism gradually tilted to the side of Buddhism.
By the way, nearly a thousand years after Li Chunyang's fall, martial arts entered a great battle, and there was never a pride of heaven that could overshadow all the martial artists of an era, until the appearance of Ye Weikong, the 'Sword Dao Eternal'.
