Chapter 139: Buddha is the Way
They are all monks, Taoists like to be quiet, so they are free from the worldly and love to go into the mountains to practice; Buddhists like to purify sentient beings, but before purifying sentient beings, they want to cut off the mortal dust. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Journey to the West team of four people and one horse were all broken red dust on the way to learn the scriptures.
The six relatives of Bailongma did not recognize him, and he did not greet his biological father when he saw him. Later, the nine-headed insect was driven away from the blue wave pool, in order to unravel the obsession in its heart.
Sun Wukong is one of the seven sages of the demon clan, and he let him slaughter monsters along the way, and also let him fall out with the Bull Demon King and dissociate himself from the demon clan.
Tang Seng also wanted to break the red dust, see all kinds of monsters and immortals along the way, free himself from mortal knowledge, and let him continue to experience the entanglement of beautiful women. Those beauties, I'm afraid that they all have a fate with him!
This journey to the west to learn scriptures, Heavenly Court and Buddhism should be a cooperative relationship. Therefore, Monk Sha has nothing to break off, basically he doesn't do things and doesn't make a sound.
So, what does Zhu Tianpeng want to break?
He has no influence on the entire demon race, and he has not been in the human race for a long time. He had already left Heavenly Court, and he had changed his body, so he had little to do with Heavenly Court. The only thing that needs to be broken is his involvement with Taoism.
Because of the "Taiqing Daojue" in his mind, as well as the nine-tooth nail rake, Lao Zhu firmly believed that Marshal Yuan Tianpeng had a very close relationship with the Daomen.
When he arrived at Che Chi Kingdom, Lao Zhu was secretly vigilant in his heart, Buddhism was going to test his Taoist position!
In the spring of March, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant.
Tang Seng and his apprentices were walking on the flat road when they suddenly heard a loud noise.
Sun Wukong took off and returned after more than an hour, and brought more than a dozen monks.
In this Che Chi Kingdom, the king likes Taoism, and also enshrines three national teachers, namely Huli Daxian, Luli Daxian and Yangli Daxian. The national teacher has vast magical powers, can call the wind and rain, turn stones into gold, and has countless Taoist priests.
When the Daomen prospered, the Buddhism was suppressed, and the monks of the entire Chechi Kingdom were punished as Taoist priests and did hard labor for the Taoists.
Sun Wukong was already a monk, and when he met a group of monks doing hard labor, he naturally rescued them, most of them dispersed, and more than a dozen of them were brought without leaving.
The dozen or so monks were all from Zhiyuan Temple, and one of the middle-aged monks came forward and asked Tang Seng to stay in Zhiyuan Temple.
When I arrived at Zhiyuan Temple, an old monk came out and paid homage to Sun Wukong: "Great Sage, I can wait for you!"
Sun Wukong said strangely: "You are an old monk who doesn't go out, how do you know Lao Sun?"
The old monk told him that Tai Bai Xing often gave them dreams, telling them not to give up hope, as long as the Monkey King arrived, they would be saved.
When Zhu Tianpeng heard this, he didn't understand what was going on with Tai Bai Xing? Why did he come to dream?
After thinking about it, he asked, "Did those three national teachers harm people's lives? What ugly things did they do?"
The monks of Zhiyuan Temple all looked at each other.
The middle-aged monk who brought them replied, "Those three demon daos are bent on fooling King Chechi, but they haven't done anything to harm the people. It's just that I don't have the slightest compassion for my Buddhist disciples, and arbitrarily enslaved, abused, and beaten are common things. There were originally hundreds of monks in Zhiyuan Temple, but now there are only twenty left, and they can't eat enough every day, can't sleep warmly, and are tortured. ”
In the middle of the night, Sun Wukong came to find Zhu Tianpeng, and pulled Monk Sha, saying that he wanted to go to Sanqingguan to get some supper.
Lao Zhu has not slept all the time, he is planning how to deal with this dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.
In the Sanqing Temple, Huli Daxian, Luli Daxian and Yangli Daxian led seven or eight hundred Taoist priests and were doing things in the view.
Sun Wukong used a spell to bring a strong wind and blow out the lamps and candles, and their rituals could not be continued, and they all retreated in a moment.
Sun, Zhu, and Sha entered the view, and saw countless melons and fruits steamed buns, and the three of them chose some fresh and delicious ones to eat.
Sun Wukong pointed to the Sanqing on the altar and asked, "What kind of Bodhisattva is sitting on this?"
The Sanqing on the altar, one of them is the appearance of Taishang Laojun, doesn't Sun Wukong know it?
Five hundred years ago, he went to Taishang Laojun's Tushi Palace to steal the elixir, and was refined by Taishang Laojun in the Dan furnace for forty-nine days. On the way to the west, he met Taishang Laojun on Pingding Mountain, and in order to save the King of Wuji, he asked Taishang Laojun to ask for the Nine Turns Soul Restoration Pill. How could Sun Wukong not know Taishang Laojun! He was deliberately asking Zhu Tianpeng.
Besides, pointing to Sanqing and asking what kind of Bodhisattva it is, what does it mean?
Lao Zhu's heart sank, knowing that it was a test, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing that Zhu Tianpeng didn't answer, Sun Wukong glared and said, "Why don't you reply to Lao Sun's words?" Senior Brother Sha, do you know?"
Sha Monk: "The one on the right is Taishang Laojun, the one in the middle is Yuan Shi Tianzun, and the one on the left is Lingbao Daojun." ”
Sun Wukong scratched his ears and cheeks and said: "If you want to eat safely, you can only become like them, and the three of us will choose one each." After saying that, he went to the altar and knocked down the idol.
"Wait!"
Seeing Sun Wukong looking back, Lao Zhu said expressionlessly: "Brother Monkey, Sanqing is the ancestor of Taoism, we don't worship Sanqing, but there is no need to push their idols." ”
"Huh!" Sun Wukong was very disdainful, "You idiot, we are now in Buddhism, and we are monks, so what does he care about whether he is clear or not?"
"Brother Monkey!" Seeing that Sun Wukong was going to push the statue to the god, Lao Zhu frowned, "You forgot to go to Taishang Laojun to ask for the Nine Turns Soul Restoration Pill? Although the concept of Buddhism and Taoism is different, it is a bit too much to push to the statue of the Dao Ancestor!"
Sun Wukong began to bared his teeth: "Idiot! These statues of the three Qing gods are worshiped by the three demon daos, and they are in the same group as the demon dao, why can't you tell the enemy from me?"
Zhu Tianpeng looked at the glittering golden hoop on Sun Wukong's head, and understood a little in his heart.
"What does the quality of the worshippers have to do with the gods to be worshipped? The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of our Buddhism also receive incense extensively, so are those who offer incense all good people? If the worshippers of the Buddha have sins, will these sins be attributed to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas?"
Seeing that Sun Wukong's face was very unkind, Lao Zhu was still fearless and continued.
"Whether it is worshipping the Buddha or worshipping the Tao, it is nothing more than awe from the heart or good thoughts from the heart, so why should we distinguish between the superior and the inferior? Everyone has their own beliefs, and as long as they do not harm others, there is no need to reject them. Although the actions of the three demons were inappropriate, they did not harm the people, and they had nothing to do with Dao Ancestor. ”
"If you push to the statue of Sanqing today, someone will push to the statue of Buddha and Bodhisattva in the future, my Buddhism pays attention to the cycle of cause and effect, and the children of the Buddhist family should know this truth. ”
"Also, at the root, Buddha is the Tao!"
After saying something, Zhu Tianpeng didn't wait for Sun Wukong to react, and then said: "The matter of the three demon paths, Lao Zhu will no longer interfere. During this time, Lao Zhu will guard the master!"
Zhu Tianpeng returned to Zhiyuan Temple, and his heart still couldn't be calm.
After the incident of Sanqingguan, in Che Chiguo, Zhu Tianpeng always stayed by Tang Seng's side, did not do anything, and did not say a word.
Sun Wukong fights with three national teachers. first compared to the rain, then compared to zazen, and then compared to the partition to guess things, Sun Wukong won.
The three national teachers are unwilling to compete with Sun Wukong.
When he cut off his head, Huli Daxian died! When he cut off his heart, Luli Daxian died! Than boiling oil pot bath, Yangli Daxian died!
Although he saw that the three national teachers returned to their original form after their deaths and turned into yellow tigers, white sheep and the like, King Chechi was still sad, and tears fell like rain, which was relieved after the persuasion of the minister.
The encounter with Chechi King City made the relationship between Sun Wukong and Zhu Tianpeng worse again.
