Chapter 90: Heart
"In today's game, Master Xuelang is afraid that he will lose. Suddenly, such a sentence came out of Zhang Taiyue's head.
Chen Fusheng nodded secretly in his heart, Zhang Taiyue's statement was right, but it was a pity that Xue Lang's Buddhist attainments, if he started to practice, he was afraid that he would be able to open the four senses in an instant, and have a realm similar to Dao Gate Condensation.
Looking at the puzzled people, Zhang Taiyue said: "In history, there have been many debates between Buddhism and Taoism, and Buddhism has won more and lost less, which is definitely not because Buddhism is much stronger than Taoism, it can only be said that each has its own merits, so there must be a deeper reason." ”
"Generally speaking, those dignitaries are even more
Like Taoism, but the middle and lower class coolie people generally believe in the Buddha, the Buddha is the golden Tao such as jade, the essence of Taoism is all about the word leisure, but the birth of the Buddha is not ordinary people can play, Buddhism's past life and this life, reincarnation and reincarnation have given everyone a hope, suffering in this life, and happiness in the next life. Therefore, the Tao Sutra can be described by Yangchun Baixue, the 5,000-word "Tao Te Ching" will say all the truth, only the reader can understand the meaning of the subtle words, although the Shijia is not a Riba person, but the reason is very thoughtful, even if it is not much cultured ordinary people, it can be understood. Therefore, in these debates, Taoist priests may not be able to say that Buddhism, but many of the things they say cannot be fully understood by others, so naturally they suffer a little. ”
After a pause, Zhang Taiyue also said with a pity on his face: "It's just that this time, this Sanhuai monk seems to have made the same mistake, he naturally doesn't mean to create all things, but people grabbed his words, although the technique is a little despicable, but the effect is very good, it's really a show to meet a soldier and can't explain it!"
The crowd finally quieted down, and this time Snow Wave began to ask questions.
"I've heard that you're proficient in math?"
"I have a translation of the Geometry Original, if the mage is interested, you can read it. Matteo Ricci shrugged and replied casually.
Xue Lang asked again: "I have also heard that you have a deep knowledge in astronomy, and once accurately predicted the time of a solar eclipse, I wonder if it is correct?"
"It is true. ”
"Very well, then I would like to ask you ......" Xue Lang nodded, revealing his purpose, "So, when you see the sun and the moon, may I ask Mr. Li whether he ascended to the sky, or did the stars descend in front of your eyes?"
"Neither, when we see something, we form an image of it in our minds, and when we want to talk about what we see, or think of it, we take out the image of the thing that is stored in our memory. Matteo Ricci replied.
Xue Lang put his palms together and stood up: "Great goodness! That is to say, you have created a new sun and a new moon in your heart, and you can create anything else in the same way, not only my Buddhism, there is a Confucian master who said this......"
Xue Lang gently chanted a paragraph: "Mr. traveled to Nanzhen, and a friend pointed to the flowers and trees in the rock and asked: 'Mr. said, 'There is no thing outside the heart in the world', so the flowers and trees bloom and fall spontaneously in the deep mountains, what does it have to do with my heart?'
The gentleman said, 'When you don't look at this flower, this flower and your heart will die together.' When you look at this flower, the color of this flower is immediately understood. Then you know that this flower is not outside your heart. ”
"Isn't this Yang Ming Xinxue?" Ye Xin, who had not spoken today, said, even if he didn't know much about Buddhism and Taoism, but the "Biography" would never be wrong. ”
"That's right," Zhang Taiyue nodded, "This Xuelang Master is not only limited to the Huayan Sect, but obviously has a deep understanding of the Faxiang Sect and Zen Buddhism. What's more, Wang Yangming was deeply influenced by Zen Buddhism when he was young, and his doctrine naturally has something in common with Master Xuelang. ”
"No, no, no! No!" Matteo Ricci said four times in a row, and everyone's attention was drawn to him, and then he spoke, "The image formed in our minds is the shadow of the sun and the moon in our hearts, not the real thing itself, and everyone here understands how much difference there is between the real thing and the image. If a person has never seen the sun or moon, it is impossible for him to form an image of the sun or moon in his mind, let alone actually create the sun and moon. If I see the sun or the moon in a mirror, and I say that the mirror created the moon and the sun, isn't that too confusing?"
Chen Fusheng shook his head, this Matteo Ricci obviously didn't know much about the scriptures of Buddhism, and he didn't even clear the difference between the Dharma body, the retribution body, and the incarnation, so he came here to make a big fuss.
And although his words seem to be reasonable, Chen Fusheng has keenly felt that the other party has unconsciously secretly changed the concept, and transformed the pair of concepts of the sun and the moon mentioned by Xue Lang into 'the shadow of the sun and the moon in the heart', and used the difference between the shadow and the real thing in his heart to explain that the shadow in his heart is consistent with the image of the mirror, so as to prove that the statement that the mirror created the moon and the sun is wrong.
But there is no mention of the role of the mind.
It seems that this so-called Catholicism, while preaching God's creation, emphasizes that everything exists objectively and is not subject to the influence of the mind. Zhang Taiyue on the side was thoughtful, "It seems that these two sides are completely different from the roots, this time it is really a chicken and a duck, and the bull's head is not against the horse's mouth." ”
"It's not the wind, it's not the wind, it's not the heart of the benevolent" is not only the essence of Zen Buddhism, but also affects many schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
"Matteo Ricci, this thief should be punished!" Chen Fusheng thought in his heart, otherwise, if such an idea was propagated, the foundation of cultivation would be completely destroyed, and there would be no more Dao heart.
Xue Lang really became excited, walked seven steps in a row, and opened his mouth to refute.
Matteo Ricci didn't accept it, and seeing that a quarrel was about to happen again, the squire of the criminal department who had pressed the formation before came forward again to separate the two.
Xue Lang apparently lost interest in arguing with him, returned to his followers, sat quietly, and left Matteo Ricci triumphantly proclaiming the truth, goodness, and beauty of God Christ.
"The battle for Taoism is so tragic!" Chen Fusheng shook his head and sighed.
Zhang Taiyue recovered, and said with a smile: "The gods preached by this Lord Li are also counted, but although his views are a little shallow, not as subtle and subtle as the three religions, they are easier for people to understand. ”
