Chapter 800: On the Dao
Mahajaya's words were not polite at all, and they also revealed the ultimate idea of Buddhism, which is to spread the Dharma to every corner of the human world.
"There are mostly cultivators in the Eastern Regions, Northern Regions, and Southern Regions, and it seems unrealistic for the Dharma to be spread everywhere, right?" Ye Chen said lightly.
Mahakala smiled slightly: "There are tens of thousands of people in the human realm, although it is said that the Buddha is not in the eastern, northern, and southern regions in the western realm, but the cultivators of these three realms are just a drop in the ocean compared to the people in the human realm. ”
"Our Pudu sentient beings are struggling beings without faith, and these people are all confused in their hearts, and it is the Buddha who guides them and gives them hope in life. Mahakala said.
When Ye Chen heard this, his heart suddenly felt for a while, yes, although there are as many cultivators as a cow's hair, compared to people in the human world, they are just a drop in the ocean, and there are pitiful few.
Buddhism can turn everyone in the Western Regions into Buddhas, and such a method cannot be done in Taoism. As long as Buddhism firmly grasps ordinary people who have not cultivated the Tao, it can be gathered into a monstrous wave from a ripple.
Ye Chen felt that this was too terrifying, the methods of the Buddha Sect were not very clever, but it was something that the Dao Sect did not do.
"There are not many cultivators in the Eastern and Northern Regions, and many of them are not born, for ordinary people, how many Taoist doors do they know? And the Buddha is inclusive of everything, all living beings are equal, everyone can believe in the Buddha, they can come to the Xiaoleiyin Temple to worship the Buddha, and the closer they are to the Buddha, the Buddha will naturally live in their hearts. ”
Mahakala said unabashedly: "Both the Buddha and the Tao can purify sentient beings, but the Tao does not exist now. ”
After listening to Mahajaye's words, Ye Chen felt that he had nothing to say, Mahajaya was not wrong at all, and he had no reason to refute it at all.
This world is not of Taoism, nor of Buddhism, but in the final analysis, it belongs to all races in the human world. There was no reason for the Daomen to prevent the Buddhists from going out of the Western Regions to establish their own temples and promote their own Buddhism.
And what Buddhism does is only according to its own beliefs. If the Taoist Gate can't do it, why don't you let the Buddhist Gate do it?
Or is it that Daomen's heart is empty?
After Ye Chen saluted Mahajaye, he turned around and left.
Long Qing was stunned, didn't come back to his senses, and followed behind Ye Chen in a daze, why did the master leave like this?
Among Xuanyuan, Xuanwu, and Yunfan, Xuanyuan was the most sober, Xuanwu and Yunfan knew nothing about it, and they didn't ask much after Ye Chen, and went down the mountain directly.
"The Dharma comprehension is very good, but it's a pity that I have cultivated the Tao. Maha Kaye watched Ye Chen leave, shook his head slightly, and then walked into the main hall.
"Let's go back to the South. After coming down the mountain, Ye Chen said expressionlessly.
Long Qing turned into a huge dragon eagle lightning bird, carrying Ye Chen and a few people straight to the Southern Regions.
Southern Regions, Sanqing Holy Land.
After Ye Chen returned to the Sanqing Holy Land, he arrived in the thatched hut in the back mountain, and he sighed lightly and said, "I hope that through such a thing, the Dao Sect will reflect on it, otherwise, the entire human world will inevitably overwhelm the Dao Dharma." ”
Soul Elder said, "I guess, it's not that simple. ”
"The battle between Buddhism and Taoism will continue for a long time, and it is uncertain who will win or lose in the end. After Ye Chen exhaled a long breath, he closed his eyes and continued to comprehend the Tao Sutra.
There are important figures in Buddhism in the Eastern Regions and the Northern Regions, and the Northern Regions have established the Xiaoleiyin Temple, so the Eastern Regions will naturally build a temple, but now there is a lack of an opportunity.
Although there are many monks in the Eastern and Northern Regions, they cannot be compared with the Southern Regions at all, the Southern Regions are holy places of monasticism, and the Dharma is abundant, and it is absolutely extremely difficult for the Dharma to spread in the Southern Regions.
Not to mention that behind the Southern Regions Dao Law Foundation, even the Five Great Holy Lands and the Four Great Families will definitely intervene. However, if the Western Regions want to bloom everywhere, the Southern Regions will naturally have to conquer it.
If the Southern Regions can be conquered, then the Eastern Regions and the Northern Regions will naturally need to be mentioned.
On this day, there was another monk wearing a golden robe in the fairy city, as soon as the monk appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
The monk in the golden robe walked slowly on the street, listening to everyone's discussions, always with a faint smile on his face, his expression was calm, and he walked all the way to the door of the Guanxian Pavilion, and then stopped.
A young man came out of the Guanxian Pavilion, the young man was wearing a Taoist robe, and he was dressed as a little Taoist priest, he made a reason to the monk in the golden robe, and said: "Master, the old pavilion master has been waiting for a long time, please come with me." ”
"There is labor. The monk in the golden robe was not surprised by the ability of the old pavilion master's unpredictable prophet, and said with a calm expression.
The young Taoist priest walked into the Guanxian Pavilion with the monk in the golden robe, and came to the reception hall of the Guanxian Pavilion.
Daoyi, who was riding a bull, happened to ride a green ox and came to the living room of Guanxian Pavilion, and when he saw the monk in the golden robe, he spit out the grass in his mouth, squinted his eyes, and then patted the cow's back and said, "Old Niu, what is this monk doing?"
The old cow let out a "high" sigh and continued to chew on what came out of his stomach.
Dao glanced at the old cow, no matter what you say, the old cow will only make a "high" sound, which is really boring.
"Amitabha Buddha ......" At this time, a Buddha horn sounded in Daoyi's ears, and Daoyi turned his head to look, and the monk in the golden robe stood in front of him, looking at him with a smile.
"Do you have something?"
The monk in the golden robe smiled and said: "Before, my junior brother Ananda came to Xiancheng, and was debated by a young Taoist priest riding a bull who had nothing to say, today I want to discuss with the donor, I wonder if the donor can agree?"
Dao Yi listened to it one by one, and now he understood a little, and dared to love that the monk in the golden robe was coming to avenge Ananda, and Dao Yi was fearless and said: "Talk about the Tao, you can talk about the Tao, you can talk about it as much as you want." ”
The monk in the golden robe smiled and said: "This time, I hope to be able to invite many famous people in the Southern Regions to participate in the Guanxian Terrace of the Guanxian Pavilion, what does the donor think?"
"No problem, but only if they're willing to listen," said Daoyi. ”
The monk in the golden robe smiled slightly, bowed, and then walked into the living room, Daoyi scratched his head, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd of the monk in the golden robe, and he didn't bother to care, if he wanted to talk about the Tao, who was afraid of whom?
No one knew what the monk in the golden robe said to the old pavilion master, so the old pavilion master sent someone to release the news of the Tao, and there was an uproar in the fairy city for a while.
The news released by the Guanxian Pavilion was that the monks from the Western Regions wanted to discuss with many famous people, one person against a hundred.
"This monk is so arrogant, if he wants to talk to a hundred famous people, he really doesn't know how thick the sky is!" someone said with great dissatisfaction.
"Don't talk about arguing with the famous, let's talk about it with the bull rider first, if you win, you're qualified to talk to the famous. ”
Naturally, this news spread from the Immortal City throughout the Southern Regions, and many famous people in the Five Holy Lands and the Four Great Families were indignant, threatening to come forward to teach the monk who didn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth.
Only one day after the news was released, Guanxian Pavilion had already received posts from fifty or sixty celebrities, saying that they were coming to participate in the Dao Conference.
Sanqing Holy Land, Back Mountain.
"Master, there is another monk in Xiancheng, and he is extremely arrogant to discuss with a hundred famous people. Long Tong said respectfully outside Ye Chen's hut.
Ye Chen opened his eyes, his expression was not much surprised, it seemed that all this was expected, he said to himself: "Discussing with a hundred famous people, it seems that the comer is not good, if you want to tear a hole in the Southern Regions, it seems that this method is good." ”
"Master, would you like to take a look?" asked Long Qing.
Ye Chen said lightly: "I'm not going, just tell me the result when the time comes." ”
Long Qing and Long Tong were surprised, Ye Chen didn't even participate in such a big thing, even if the real body didn't appear, why don't you come forward to take a look?
Although Long Qing and Long Tong felt strange, they didn't ask too much and left quietly.
Fairy City.
"How much ability does that monk have to argue with a hundred famous monks? You know, those who can be called famous are the older generation of monks with extremely high strength and qualifications, they all have their own set of opinions on the Tao, and they want to rely on one mouth to win the hundred famous houses, I really don't know that he is so boastful. The Flying Tiger snorted unfavorably.
"I think it's not good for those who come, Buddhism is now ready to move, and it has infiltrated in both the Eastern and Northern Regions, but this Southern Regions is also considered to be ironclad, and it is even more difficult to establish Buddhism in the Southern Regions. I think the reason why this monk wants to discuss the Tao with 100 famous people is to take this opportunity to spread the Dharma and take the first step in the Southern Regions. "Xuanyuan is thoughtful and will look at the problem carefully.
"No matter what the purpose of this monk is, in short, he can't let him win, as long as he loses, then he will fall short. Yun Fan said.
"This monk is eighty percent prepared, it's hard to say. Zhao Tianjian shook his head.
"I said don't let others be angry and destroy your own prestige, our hundred celebrities can't fight a monk, even if it is a mouthful of spit, it is enough for the monk to wash his face. The Flying Tiger said dissatisfied.
"It's a pity that the senior brother is in retreat and refuses to come out, otherwise if the senior brother goes to debate, it is estimated that he will be better than those celebrities. Cang Jian said helplessly.
"Something is wrong after Ye Chen came back from the Little Lei Yin Temple in the Northern Regions. Xuanwu frowned.
"It can't be that he was brainwashed by the monks of the Western Regions, right?" Yun Fan said with a frightened expression.
The Flying Tiger glared at Yun Fan and said, "What nonsense, Ye Chen was fine when he entered the Western Regions, how could he be brainwashed now?"
"Then what's wrong with my senior brother?" Yun Fan wondered.
Xuanyuan shook his head and said, "Maybe it's a disappointment with the current situation of the Daomen. ”
