Chapter 53: Paradox
A school can be passed down from the source, the most important thing is a set of core theories that can justify itself, Zen Buddhism can be ranked as one of the heavenly sects, how can it be stumped by Tang Luo's question.
"Tang Jushi is right, don't say that the little monk is the most holy of the poor human race, and no one has found immortality, but before it has been reached, it does not exist?" Yankong chuckled: "Eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind, color, sound, fragrance, taste, touch, and law are not empty, he covers your eyes, like a dark room, I said there is a hammer, but in the dark, no matter how big the eyes are, they can't see the five fingers, so I have to say that I can't see." And what if you light a candle?"
"Although Zen Buddhism has not reached immortality, it is the closest to immortality in the Holy Land Heavenly Sect, and what all the Zen sages have done is to light that glimmer of light in the wilderness where immortality blooms. Let me ask, if immortality appears one day, which Taoist sect should discover it first?"
"If you talk so much, you just said that you didn't reach it, so what nonsense are you saying that you want to cross him to the other side?"
Tang Luo frowned, and asked, "I was in a hurry to cross people before I even understood it, and you still said that you were not misleading people's children?"
"Although it has not arrived, it is not far away, can the layman be sure that the little monk will not reach it?"
"You haven't been there, how do you know how far away, what kind of fart are you here?"
These inspirational nonsense also deceive young people who are not experienced in the world, and Tang Luo, who is a man in two lives, clearly knows the laws of all things in the world.
That is, it's hard at the beginning, it's hard in the middle, it's hard at the back, it's all fucking hard, and it's getting harder and harder.
This kind of thing is even more so, it will only become more and more complicated, more and more difficult, and it will not be far away, because it is not known at all what it is facing, so it will produce blind optimism.
"As for whether you can be sure, heh. Tang Luo pursed his lips and smiled: "I can't be sure if you can finally achieve immortality on the other side, but I know that if I beat you to death here today, you will only have years left to live and die, and what else is there to talk about immortality." ”
Perhaps this is the first person who dares to threaten the Buddha with his life in person, and this threat, of course, Yankong will not care, but laughs: "Greed, hatred and ignorance are the three poisons in the world, and laymen can know that this heaven and earth and sentient beings are not empty. The true nature of the so-called vision is also emptiness, no enlightenment, no delusion, no holiness, no extraordinary, no giving, no receiving, no being..."
Halfway through Yankong's words, the impatient Tang Luo raised his left leg, instigating the wind and thunder to sweep towards Yankong's right face with the sound of tiger and leopard thunder, this leg came suddenly and violently, Yankong could only raise his right hand to block in shock, he thought he would be kicked away, but he didn't want this leg to touch his upper arm and then took it back.
Although he was not kicked away, Yankong, who was interrupted by the Buddha's side, still felt very angry, so he asked Chao Yu, "Tang Jushi has shot several times and three times, what do you mean?"
"You say it's empty. Tang Luo withdrew his left leg and asked coldly, "Where did you get such a big temper?"
Yankong was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer.
"This is the mountain gate you want to worship?" Tang Luo turned his head to Tang Xing and asked, "Say some empty words that you can't do, and walk the road where you can't see the end." With this kind of practice, you can reach the other side? Even if you want to deceive yourself, you will trouble using dim sum, okay?"
Tang Xing was silent, the epiphany that he had just thought he had suddenly appeared after seeing Yankong's performance, and a few wisps of confusion rose in his eyes again, and his heart was even more chaotic
The enlightened young man was now full of thoughts of meditation, and when Yankong was stopped by Tang Luo, his immortal shore was also shattered.
It was as if he originally thought that as long as he followed Yankong, he could attain immortality, but now he found that Yankong could not cross him, but his pursuit of immortality on the other side did not change, and the young man who could not find the direction fell into pain and confusion again, and couldn't help but look up and ask: "However, if I don't practice with Master, how can I cultivate Buddha?"
Seeing that Tang Xing took the initiative to ask him, Tang Luo was happy in his heart, but he was still waiting to deal with it carefully, for fear that he would make a mistake and fall short.
After pondering for a while, Tang Luo said to the bald boy: "If there is no Buddha, your so-called cultivation of Buddha is to cultivate yourself, so you can practice whether it is in the temple, in the red dust, in the deep mountains, or in the downtown area." Because life is a practice, the whole world is your dojo, everyone who loves you, everyone who hates you, everyone you meet, everyone you miss, they are all helping you and achieving a complete you. ”
"This process is not always smooth sailing, because it always has to face all kinds of unacceptable situations, only gritting your teeth to accept, striving to change, in order to complete the sublimation of self-nature. It's about creating, it's about bearing, it's about perseverance, it's about tolerance, it's about gratitude, it's about giving up, and maybe in the end, you can be detached. ”
"It's so ethereal.... But what if there is a Buddha?" Tang Xing asked with a blank eye.
"Even if you do, it's not by Zen Buddhism, if you want to become a Buddha, but you worship Zen Buddhism, isn't it as stupid as trying to learn from a carpenter but learning from a butcher?"
Tang Luo's dislike of Zen Buddhism the most is that he clearly lives in the earthly world and relies on the provisions of heaven and earth, but he places himself on the clouds, and when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, it is the reincarnation of cause and effect, transcendence and immortality, the ultimate bliss, and everything is empty.
These things seem to be quite powerful at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, if you don't think about living a good life in the present world first, but your mind is full of thoughts about transcending immortality and jumping out of samsara, why not have any hope of success in the cultivation method of eating minced meat.
If Yankong could be more pragmatic, even if he was more down-to-earth, Tang Luo would not be so resistant to Tang Xing wanting to worship the Wuxiang Zen Temple.
The reason why he has come to this point is that the Dharma in this world is really disappointing.
But Tang Luo can also understand, after all, Wuxiang Zen Temple can be ranked in the holy land of Tianzong because it is not because of the profundity of Buddhism, but because of its hard fists and many masters.
Ordinary people meet the people of the Wuxiang Zen master, the momentum is three points weaker, and who dares to really come forward to argue about the Buddha's intentions, and Zen Buddhism itself closed the door of the sharp Zen debate, isn't it the left hand to clap the right hand, which is Zen debate, it is almost the same as applause.
Perhaps Tang Luo was the first person in the human race to dare to say in front of the Buddha, even if there is a Buddha, it is not the logic of cultivating with the principles of Zen Buddhism, which makes Yankong's firm Zen heart crack.
"Tang Jushi!" Yankong's words were full of anger, and he asked, "Do you know what you're talking about?"
"I'm talking about the facts!" Tang Luo replied coldly, "I'm here to ask you, can someone become a Buddha in Zen Buddhism!?"
"Not yet, but..."
"Let me ask you again, is there a true Buddha?"
"Of course, there is!"
"Since there is a true Buddha, but it is not proved by meditation, doesn't that mean that the way of Zen Buddhism cannot cultivate a true Buddha?
