"What kind of ticket is so expensive? It costs ten taels of silver each!" asked an old man dressed in black in the crowd to a few young people who were selling tickets.

The old man in black closed his eyes tightly, and he was holding a cane in his hand, indicating that he was a blind man, and next to the old man in black was a man about twenty years old, who was holding the old man, and it seemed that he should be his apprentice.

"You old man, what does it matter to you how the tickets are sold, and besides, we don't force them to buy and sell. If you don't want to buy it, forget it, but it's not so easy to listen to the Buddha's words of Master Sanzang. Those young men were originally very disdainful of the old man in black, but the apprentice next to him looked very strong, and a few people didn't dare to offend the old man.

"You just said, where is this Sanzang master?" the old man in black asked, "He is from the Leiyin Temple?"

"Of course!" several young men replied arrogantly, "Leiyin Temple is the place favored by the Buddha, and Master Sanzang is the abbot of Leiyin Temple, and is even more respected as the Buddha." You don't even know that?"

After the young men finished speaking, they glanced at the old man in black with disdain, these two people must be from outside. Even Master Sanzang didn't know, talking to them simply lowered his identity as a Cangwu person!

"Master," said the young man holding the old man, "Didn't you say that the abbot of Leiyin Temple is a master of a lamp? How did he become this Sanzang, and he dared to call himself a Buddha, if this matter is known to the three sects of Buddhism in the Central Plains, this Sanzang is not afraid of the wrath of Buddhism?"

"A light should be gone. The old man in black sighed, "I personally told him his fortune, and he should have left a month and a half ago." As for this, Sanzang must be a young man, taking advantage of the light to occupy the Leiyin Temple, and dare to call himself a Buddha!"

"Pity my disciple from the four seas, he must have been poisoned by this Sanzang demon monk! Yideng is my best friend, I must take out this evil breath for him!"

"Master. The young man hesitated, "After all, we are running for our lives, if we are strong enough to be known by those evil cultivators, I am afraid the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Besides, I'm afraid that the two of us won't be able to defeat the Leiyin Temple, my martial arts are high and low, and now they are about to fall into the innate realm. ”

"What are you afraid of," the old man in black said lightly, "Let's first inquire about the current situation of the Leiyin Temple, according to the current situation, this Sanzang demon monk still has some ability to let so many people follow him." Since he wants to hold a Buddhist meeting, then we will expose his face when he holds a Buddhist meeting, so that he can be exposed in front of the people. Revenge for the monk of one lamp and the four posters!"

"Find a place to live first, and let Master think of a way to deal with this Sanzang demon monk. The old man in black said to his apprentice.

The young man touched the only piece of broken silver left in the money bag and sighed, and helplessly carried the old man in black to the nearby inn.

Tang Yuan has been busy with Buddhist meetings recently, and he spends all day in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion mending Buddhist scriptures. This Buddhist meeting is Tang Yuan's first appearance, and his Buddhist sutra attainments represent that the level of Buddhism in Leiyin Temple must not be messed up.

But after a few days, Tang Yuan found that the Buddhism taught in the scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion was not completely consistent with the Buddhist ideas in his memory, at least some of them were inconsistent.

In the Buddhist scriptures, it is mainly said that cultivating Buddha is to cultivate oneself and not crossing others, and it is believed that there is only one Buddha in Buddhism, that is, the Buddha of the Great Ri, which is similar to the Buddhist thought in Southeast Asia in the previous life of the Tang and Yuan dynasties.

However, Tang Yuan accepted the Buddhist ideas of Huaxia and belonged to the Mahayana Buddhist system. First of all, it is certain that the Buddha can not only cross himself but also cross others, and there is more than one Buddha in Buddhism, such as the Buddha from the East, the Medicine Buddha and so on.

And these Buddhas in Buddhism are completely absent in the scriptures, as if they do not exist. Tang Yuan left the Scripture Pavilion with the scriptures and found Wuzhen, who needed to prove something to Wuzhen.

"Wu Zhen, let me ask you, have you heard of the Buddha from the East?" Tang Yuan found Wu Zhen and asked.

"Buddha from the East?" Wuzhen touched his bald head and said, "I haven't heard of it, who is this person?

"You don't know the Buddha from the East, so have you heard of the Ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp and the Medicine Master Glass Buddha?" Tang Yuan didn't answer Wuzhen's words, and then asked.

Wu Zhen was confused, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, who are these people, Master, why do they all claim to be Buddhas?"

Tang Yuan understood that there is really only one Buddha in Buddhism in this world, and this kind of Buddhism is called Theravada Buddhism.

Theravada Buddhism only cares about oneself and does not care about others, and has no ability to manage others, while Mahayana Buddhism has the ability to help both oneself and others, which is the basic difference between Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism. Tang Yuan seemed to know what to say at the Buddha meeting in a few days.

A few days later, the Buddha meeting that countless people were looking forward to was finally held, and Tang Yuan sprinkled pure water at the foot of the mountain of Wanfo Mountain, and held the first Buddha meeting of Leiyin Temple.

On a high platform of nearly three floors, covered with a huge yellow cloth, Tang Yuan sat cross-legged in the middle of the high platform, holding a rosary in his hand and smiling downward.

Below the high platform was a crowd of black presses, although Tang Yuan was sitting on the three-story platform, he still couldn't see the edge of the crowd, and the crowd was directly connected to the sky. The crowd below was discussing in a whisper, and some of them were pointing at Tang Yuan.

The number of people below was a bit unexpected by Tang Yuan, it stands to reason that although Tang Yuan's followers were many, they were not so many, which can be seen through the power of faith that Tang Yuan received.

If the crowd below were all Tang Yuan believers, then the power of their faith would have been able to wake up Brahma a long time ago, but Brahma is still in a coma, which is not right.

When he saw the people below and he pointed, Tang Yuan suddenly came to his senses, although the following people also believed in Lei Yin Temple and he Tang Yuan, but they had not yet reached the point of generating the power of faith, simply put, they did not reach the sincere and pure Cheng Dù, otherwise they would not have pointed their fingers at him to do such a rude thing.

These people accounted for a large part of the crowd below, and they came here to listen to Tang Yuan's Buddhist meeting on the one hand, they did have respect for Leiyin Temple, and on the other hand, there were many lively people.

Tang Yuan looked at the crowd below, determined to collect all those who were not firm in their hearts.

"Today the poor monk is going to talk about Mahayana Buddhism. As soon as Tang Yuan said this, the noisy crowd under the high platform suddenly fell silent, and someone said curiously, "Master Sanzang, what is Mahayana Buddhism?"

"The human world is like a sea of suffering, and Mahayana Buddhism is a boat that can bring people from one shore of the sea of suffering to the other, and finally enable everyone in the world to attain the status of an arhat. ”

"Can you attain the status of an arhat?!" The crowd below was already sluggish, Tang Yuan said that the world is like a sea of suffering, and the Mahayana Buddhism is like a boat crossing people to the other side, this kind of novel Buddhism they have never heard of. And what Tang Yuan said that everyone can obtain the status of an arhat has stimulated everyone's hearts!

You must know that the current Buddhist scriptures say that only those Buddhist masters who are extremely profound in the study of Buddhist scriptures have the slightest hope of attaining the status of an arhat and going to the Western Heavenly Buddha Realm after death. And ordinary people can only be reincarnated in the six realms after death, and believing in the Buddha may have the opportunity to become a celestial in the Western Heavenly Buddha realm to avoid reincarnation, but don't even think about the arhat position!

But now the abbot of Sanzang says that Mahayana Buddhism can pass people through the sea of suffering, and after reaching the other side of the sea of suffering, everyone can get the Arhat status, which means that everyone has the opportunity to become a Buddha in the Western Heaven Buddha realm, and this attraction is fatal to everyone.

"Sanzang Buddha, are you telling the truth? As long as you listen to your Mahayana teachings, you will be able to overcome the sea of suffering and attain fruition?" said a devout disciple with a confused look in his eyes.

"Yes. Neither is it. Tang Yuandao.

"What do you mean?" the cultist couldn't understand, "and ask the abbot to clear up your doubts." ”

"First of all, listen to the Mahayana Buddhism promoted by my Leiyin Temple, and have a chance to cross the other side, but it is just a chance. If you really want to cross the other side, you still need to work your own. ”

"Do it yourself?" the crowd under the high stage lowered their heads in contemplation, and after a while, they said, "We are all mortals, what's the use of working hard by ourselves?"

"The poor monk will tell you a story!" Tang Yuan raised his voice and said to the audience, "Once upon a time, there was a man who went to the ruined temple to worship the Bodhisattva in the hope that the Bodhisattva would be able to fulfill his wish. At this time, he found that there was also a person beside him who was worshipping the Bodhisattva, and that person looked very similar to the Bodhisattva. ”

The attention of the audience was successfully attracted by Tang Yuan's story, and both eyes were staring at him.

Tang Yuan continued, "The man asked, 'Are you a bodhisattva?' and the person next to him replied, I am indeed a bodhisattva. ”

The man was puzzled and asked, "Why do you worship yourself since you are a bodhisattva?" The Bodhisattva said, "I have encountered some problems, but I know that it is better to worship others than to seek myself, so I worship myself." ”

After Tang Yuan finished speaking, he paused, and after the people in the audience came to their senses, he smiled and said, "Donors, do you understand what the poor monk means?"

"Are you saying that the cultivation of an arhat is mainly on oneself?" someone hesitated.

"That's right!" Tang Yuan said, "The Mahayana Buddhism of the poor monk can only guide you and show you a clear path. ”

"But if you want to reach the other side of the bitter sea, you still need to work your own. ”
