Chapter 554: The Controversy of a Hundred Schools

The reason why many powers, including saints, chose the Southern Ganbu Continent was because at this time, the Southern Ganbu Continent was not only the most abundant in spiritual energy, but also the development of the human race had been extremely rapid with the help of the improvement of luck.

With the same exercises and the same cultivation opportunities, the human race has shown an advantage over other races.

At this time, the human race had already shown the atmosphere of the protagonist of heaven and earth in the Southern Ganbu Continent.

This is also one of the reasons why many great powers choose the Southern Ganbu Continent and choose the Terrans.

At this time, the world of Nanbu Continent entered the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

It is precisely because of the reincarnation of these saints and great powers that various doctrines have appeared in the entire Southern Ganbu Continent, and they have preached that there are about more than 100 Taoist doctrines to establish a Taoist system.

The beings of these Taoist doctrines explain or assert the universe, society, and everything. They wrote books and lectures, recruited disciples, talked loudly, and criticized each other, thus achieving a situation in history in which "a hundred schools of thought contended."

This is the most brilliant and star-studded era, but it is also a chaotic era, which has caused violent social shocks.

And when you are born, the great power is full of visions.

When Confucius was born, music was played from the sky, and at the same time, five immortals descended from the clouds. And he is still "phoenix, tiger raising, eagle fan".

It turned out that Confucius was born with a very strange appearance, the top of his head was like a buckled bowl, the middle was low, the four sides were high, and the face had seven dew appearances: the eyes were exposed, the nose was exposed, the ears were exposed, and the mouth was toothy.

His father was horrified that he was a monster, so he put him in a cave and went home with his wife.

Unexpectedly, something even more bizarre happened.

It was the autumn season, and the cave was really hot, so the eagle flew to fan him with its wings, and the people who went up the mountain saw it, and they thought that the baby in the cave was the son of the phoenix.

Therefore, the story of Confucius's "phoenix, tiger raising, eagle fan" spread.

The birth of Lao Tzu is also quite miraculous, but his mother had a dream at night, dreaming that the sun in the sky turned into a bead and drilled into his mouth, and his mother became pregnant.

Later, Lao Tzu's mother was pregnant for 81 years before she gave birth to Lao Tzu under a plum tree, and Lao Tzu was not born normally, but from the mother's left armpit.

Lao Tzu was born with white hair, and Lao Tzu was born to speak, he himself pointed to a plum tree in the yard and said This is my surname, the surname is Li.

After the reincarnation of Gautama, he was born in a kingdom, walking seven steps in the east, west, north and south, giving birth to a lotus step by step, pointing to the sky with one hand and the earth with the other, singing the verse: "I am the only one in heaven and the world, and now I have exhausted my life."

When these saints and great powers are reincarnated, if they have the memories of their previous lives, their cultivation is extremely fast, and their realm is also improved quickly.

At the same time, in order to verify their understanding of the laws of heaven, they have written books and said, just like Lao Tzu put forward the idea of non-action, humanity should be the law of heaven, so for non-action and even non-action.

Lao Tzu mainly advocated the idea of "small countries and widows", that is, it is natural, abide by the law, and do not act rashly.

Gautama, on the other hand, proposed that all dharmas have no self, all actions are impermanent, all actions are suffering, nirvana is silent, and taking precepts as the return, saying that the suffering in the real world is caused by the inequality between people, and the way to solve suffering is to realize the equality of all beings.

Gautama believed that it is the natural nature of every living being to be free from suffering and seek happiness, and that a rare human body is the best time to be liberated from suffering.

Gautama declared that his purpose was to "purify all sentient beings," and that his path was like a huge ship that could carry countless sentient beings from the world of birth and death to the world of nirvana and liberation, thus attaining Buddhahood.

If Gautama's thought is Mahayana Buddhism, and at this time there is another living being who also claims a similar thought, but it is different from "purifying sentient beings", they only seek their own liberation, and do not cross sentient beings.

He advocated the "Three Learnings" of Meditation, Concentration, and Wisdom (the attainment of wisdom through the practice of meditation through keeping the precepts) and the Eightfold Path (the Eight Correct Ways of Thinking and Acting).

This person is the Duobao Taoist who was caught by Lao Tzu, and he also chose to reincarnate and re-cultivate and founded Theravada Buddhism.

Because he comes from the idea of interception, he mostly emphasizes his own practice, does not fake external things, and only seeks his own liberation.

At this time, there was a similar saying circulating in the Southern Ganbu Continent, that is, as long as you practice diligently, you can achieve the Western Elysium and achieve the righteous and solemn merits of the Pure Land Buddha and Bodhisattva.

When Zhang Haotian heard about these three doctrines, he immediately thought of the three major Buddhas of Buddhism, namely Shakyamuni, Amitabha Buddha and Medicine Buddha.

Shakyamuni mainly presided over the world of Buddhism, was the founder of Buddhism, and was known as the Supreme Buddha.

Amitabha Buddha is in charge of the Western Elysium, also known as the Buddha of Amitayus and the Buddha of Amitayus, and he mainly guides people to the Elysium.

There is also the Medicine Buddha in the Oriental glazed world, which is said to preside over the cause and effect of good and evil in Buddhism.

Zhang Haotian muttered: "I didn't expect that the three major schools of Buddhism in later generations had already begun to spread at this time, I don't know if these three schools have achieved as much as the earth?

At this time, in addition to Buddhism, there were also Legalists, famous scholars, Yin-Yang scholars and other doctrines circulating.

For example, the Yin-Yang family got its name because it advocated the theory of the five elements of Yin and Yang and used it to explain social personnel.

Among them, there is a person named Zou Yan who is also a reincarnated cultivator, and he still went out of the Creation Dojo.

The theory of yin and yang believes that yin and yang are the positive and negative opposing and transforming forces of things themselves, which can be used to explain the laws of development and change of things.

The Five Elements Theory holds that all things are composed of five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, and that there are two laws of mutual growth and mutual victory, which can be used to explain the origin and change of all things in the universe.

Zou Yan synthesized the two, according to the theory of the mutual growth and victory of the five elements, interpreted the attributes of the five elements as the "five virtues", created the "five virtues at the end of the theory", and used it as the law of the rise and fall of the dynasties, providing a theoretical basis for the establishment of the new unified dynasty.

Of course, there is also Confucianism, which has a profound influence on the future generations of the earth.

Confucianism is an academic school that takes the six arts of etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics as the law, advocates "etiquette and music" and "benevolence and righteousness", advocates "loyalty and forgiveness" and the "golden mean" of impartiality, advocates "rule by virtue" and "benevolent government", and attaches importance to moral and ethical education and people's self-cultivation.

Confucianism emphasizes the function of education, believing that emphasizing education and light punishment is the only way for the country to be stable and the people to be prosperous and happy. He advocated that "there is no class in education" and that both the rulers and the ruled should be educated, so that the whole country can become people with high morals.

In addition to these ideas, its original founder, Confucius, applied his ideas to the rule of the state, used it in the practice of life, traveled to the seventy-two countries, and finally established his own state.

Confucius also recruited disciples on a large scale, and there were 3,000 disciples, and established a sect on the basis of Confucianism, Confucianism, which became the first sect in the world.
