"Therefore, Buddhism is a very terrifying force, once they are allowed to gain a foothold, then they will instantly grow and develop in a very short period of time. "The soul elder has a great fear of Buddhism.

Ye Chen said approvingly: "That's true, if the Xiaoleiyin Temple is the center and expands outward, then the Northern Regions will definitely become a pure land of Buddhism in the near future, and it will compete with the Daomen." ”

"That's why the Southern Regions are going to be made into a monolith. Soul Elder said: "If the Buddha Gate is allowed to enter the Southern Regions, then with this influence of the Buddha Gate, it will soon shake the foundation of the Dao Gate in the Southern Regions. ”

Among the four domains of the human world, the Western Regions are the holy land of Buddhism, and the southern region is the holy land of Taoism, but the two Taoist gates in the northern and eastern regions are relatively weak, and Buddhism is easy to gain a firm foothold, but it will definitely not completely turn these two domains into the pure land of Buddhism, otherwise, when the time comes, the Taoist Gate will definitely break out completely, and a war between Buddhism and Taoism will definitely be inevitable. ”

Ye Chen began to analyze and say after thinking about it.

The Soul Elder nodded approvingly and said, "This is indeed possible, and the Buddha Gate will occupy half of the Eastern and Northern Regions at most. ”

Airplanes!

As he was talking, he heard a bell ring from the Xiaoleiyin Temple, and then a young monk appeared at the foot of the mountain, saluted to the crowd and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Dharma conference is about to begin, please go up the mountain." ”

After the young monk finished speaking, he went up the mountain with light steps, and the monks who were waiting at the foot of the mountain followed him up quickly.

"I'd like to see what this Dharma conference is talking about, to see how powerful these bald asses really are, and how they can spit lotus flowers out of their mouths?"

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can not be defeated in a hundred battles, we know too little about Buddhism, it is also beneficial to come and listen, at least in the future, people who meet Buddhism also know how to deal with it. ”

"I heard that the most powerful thing about these bald asses is to cross people unconsciously, everyone should be careful, they can't get on the road. ”

Some of the monks who had been going up the mountain to see the excitement began to talk to each other as they went up the mountain.

Ye Chen couldn't help but smile indifferently when he heard these words, and he didn't mean to belittle, he just felt that if the Buddhism Sect wanted to transform them, with their strength, even if they were careful, it would have no effect.

"Brother Ye Chen!"

Ye Chen had just walked a few steps when he heard someone calling him from behind, and when he looked back, it was quicksand as he guessed.

Quicksand stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "Let's go up together." ”

Ye Chen nodded and smiled: "Brother Liusha is planning to fight with the monks of Xiaoleiyin Temple today?"

"I can't say how to fight, I just say what I think, they agree if they agree, what else can I do if I don't agree? persuade them to follow me, drink wine and eat meat?" Quicksand smiled knowingly.

"Regardless, I've got your back. Ye Chen smiled, and there was a feeling that it was not a big deal to watch the excitement.

Quicksand said seriously: "If there is the support of Brother Ye Chen, then I am also full of confidence." ”

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and the two of them talked and laughed and climbed the steps all the way to Xiaoleiyin Temple.

In front of the main hall of Xiaoleiyin Temple, there is a huge square with a pulpit set up in the square, and it is clear that this Dharma conference was held in this square.

The monks who came to Xiaoleiyin Temple to participate in the Dharma conference came to the square one after another, and then gathered in groups and began to discuss the Dharma conference.

At this time, before the Dharma conference began, around the square, there were many monks standing with their hands folded, their heads bowed, completely ignoring the monks present.

More and more monks came to the square, and the square was already full of people, and the voices of large and small chatters were full of them, and it seemed that everyone was noisy.

The pure land of Buddhism is generally a relatively quiet place, usually in addition to the sound of chanting, there is rarely a loud voice, at this time the square is no longer a pure land, but a vegetable field.

Ye Chen and quicksand came to the square, Ye Chen was not the first time to come to Xiaoleiyin Temple, he looked around, there was no change in the pattern, but the Buddhism of the entire Xiaoleiyin Temple was even more profound.

Quicksand looked at the magnificent main hall, his heart was a little surging, and he muttered, "This is a good place to cultivate." ”

Ye Chen said, "Then why don't you come to the temple to cultivate?"

Quicksand shook his head and said: "I am a Hongchen guest, not a person from the temple, so even if it is the Pure Land of Buddha Grace here, it is not my destination, my destination is the entire heaven and earth." ”

Ye Chen said with a smile: "Yes, if you want to see through the red dust, you still have to see the red dust, how can you know what the red dust looks like if you don't look at it?

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Quicksand's eyes lit up, and he immediately appreciated: "Brother Ye's words are really reasonable!"

Ye Chen didn't expect this sentence to make Quicksand so excited, and said with a smile: "Just say it casually." ”

"How much comprehension is because of a sudden flash of inspiration, and what is realized at that moment is the most real and incisive. "The more quicksand talked, the more excited he became.

When Ye Chen wanted to say something modestly, he heard a voice from above the pulpit: "Donors, the Dharma Conference will start immediately, please don't be impatient, sit down and wait for a while, the Buddha is pure, please don't make noise." ”

The voice of the words sounded soft, but it drowned out all the voices, and the square fell silent at once, and all eyes fell on the pulpit.

On the pulpit is a middle-aged monk with a smile on his face and folded his hands, giving people a feeling of extreme intimacy.

The monks present also sat down obediently, after all, this is someone's chassis, if they anger each other, what happens at that time, then no one can say.

Everyone sat down and closed their eyes and stopped talking.

Ye Chen and Quicksand sat next to each other, Quicksand's eyes kept staring at the gate of the main hall, and when he looked inward from the gate of the main hall, he could see the huge Buddha statue in the main hall.

The main hall is not dedicated to Amitabha Buddha, but Shakyamuni Buddha.

When the quicksand was stunned, a young monk wearing a purple robe and holding a golden Zen staff walked out of the main hall, followed by many monks behind the young monk.

The monk in this purple and red robe is naturally the abbot Mahagāye of the Xiaoleiyin Temple.

When Ye Chen saw Maha Kaye walk out, his eyes fell on him, and everyone's eyes were the same, because the Dharma aura emanating from Mahaja Ye was really eye-catching.

Mahakalya walked to the pulpit, and instead of sitting down, he stood aside, then put one hand on his chest and said, "Welcome to all the benefactors, my little Leiyin Temple is full of glory." ”

Maha Kasa Ye first made a polite remark, and then said: "The poor monk Xiao Lei Yin Monastery presides over Maha Kasya, and Shakyamuni Buddha sits down as a disciple. This Dharma conference was also presided over by a poor monk. ”

"The purpose of convening this Dharma Conference is twofold, one of which is to spread the Dharma of our Buddhism, hoping to benefit all sentient beings, save people and bring all living beings out of the sea of suffering. Second, inviting many Taoist friends to come is also to discuss Buddhism and Taoism together, so that the relationship between Buddhism and Taoism will be closer and tolerant of each other. ”

Hearing Mahajaya's words, the monks sitting in the square immediately burst into discussions, some disdainful and some sneered, in short, no one would believe Mahajaya's words.

Mahajaya didn't seem to care, everything was expected, he said calmly: "The speaker of this Dharma conference is Cihang Bodhisattva under the seat of the Buddha of Buddhism in the Western Regions, and now, please Cihang Bodhisattva to teach you the Dharma." ”

After speaking, Mahajaya took a few steps back, and then gave way to the side.

Ye Chen can see from these actions of Maha Gāya that the Cihang Bodhisattva who is about to appear is definitely not an ordinary person in the Western Regions Buddhism, and his status is below the Buddha, but it is definitely above Mahāṇa.

Afterwards, everyone saw three people walking out of the main hall, among them walking in front was a delicate woman, the woman did not shave her hair, she was not a nun, and there were no Buddhist decorations on her body, holding a bottle towards the willow branch in her left hand, and pinching orchids in her right hand.

Behind the beautiful woman followed two little boys, these two boys looked handsome, about twelve or thirteen years old, and they were extremely agile and moving.

When the monks present saw these three people appear, there was another commotion, what was the situation?

The delicate woman walked from the main hall, and there were green lotuses blooming under her feet at every step, as if she did not stir up dust.

After the beautiful woman walked on the pulpit, a lotus platform automatically appeared under her feet, she sat on the lotus platform, her eyes swept over everyone, her eyes were clear as promised, solemn, and extremely sacred.

Everyone was shocked by the woman's appearance and demeanor, and there was such a woman in Buddhism?

"I am the Bodhisattva Tzu Hang, the keynote speaker of this Dharma Conference. The delicate woman spoke, and her voice was soft like water, which was even more fascinating.

Ye Chen was also a little stunned, this was a little different from the Buddhism he imagined, weren't the female disciples in the Buddhism all nuns?

"Female walker?" The quicksand on the side was also stunned.

Ye Chen felt that it should not be, this Cihang Bodhisattva has a higher status than Mahaja Ye, how can he be a practitioner?

Cihang Bodhisattva didn't seem to see everyone's doubtful and surprised eyes, she said to herself: "Donors, today to open a pulpit, the Dharma is to let you know what the real Buddha and Dharma are. ”

"In your hearts, there are too many prejudices against Buddhism, thinking that Buddhism is a means of harming people, that is, turning people into puppets, but this is very wrong. Cihang Bodhisattva's words were still soft, as if telling a story.
