Chapter 173: Theravada Buddhism
The body is a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, always wipe, do not make dust. After saying this, Kong Lin added, "This is not only the handout of the poor monk's Dalin Temple, but also the purpose of the entire Buddhism." ”
"Senior Brother Konglin is right. Tang Yuan recited this unphased verse, and then said, "Although there are some great rebellions, the poor monk has another kind of verse, but it is different from what Senior Brother Konglin said. ”
"Oh, do you have any other insights?" Qing Deng looked at Tang Yuandao, "Let's hear it." ”
"The poor monk thinks that Buddhism can be explained in another way," Tang Yuan said softly, "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform." There was nothing in the first place, where was the dust?"
"There is nothing in the first place, where is the dust?" Qing Deng's eyes lit up suddenly, and he seemed to have realized something from this verse. The other monks were a little confused, obviously unable to immediately accept Tang Yuan's views.
"Senior Brother Sanzang thinks that the poor monk's excellent WWW.UUXS.CC small saying is wrong?" He was also a smart person, and after thinking about it a little, he found that Tang Yuan's verses were aimed at his verses everywhere.
"Definitely. Tang Yuan shook his head, "The poor monk didn't say that Senior Brother Konglin's unphased words were wrong. Rather, the poor monk thinks that maybe the Dharma can be understood in another way. ”
"Where do you stain the dust?" said the green lantern suddenly.
"Yes. Tang Yuan nodded and said, "The poor monk believes that all living beings have wisdom and virtue, but if they are delusional and persistent, they cannot attain it." As long as we are not trapped by the appearance of all things, then when we see our true mind, we can become Buddhas. ”
"Moreover, the poor monk still thinks..."
"Alright! Senior Brother Sanzang don't say any more. Kong Lin and the others listened to Tang Yuan's words more and more outrageous, and they hurriedly interrupted Tang Yuan at that time.
"Senior Brother Konglin...?" Tang Yuan looked at the monk strangely, it didn't matter what he looked at. He suddenly found that Kong Lin and the others were all pale, and even the little faces of the green lantern were abnormal.
"What's wrong with everyone?" Tang Yuan was extremely strange. He just said a few words, why did everyone change so much?
"Amitabha, sin and sin. Kong Lin clasped his hands together and said, "Senior Brother Sanzang, don't say this again in the future." ”
"What's wrong?" Tang Yuan said. "Is it wrong for a poor monk to see his views and become Buddhas?"
"It's not that your handouts are wrong, it's that your fundamental thinking is wrong. At this time, the monk Tongguang said on the side, "In my Buddhism, the emphasis is that only people who have wisdom roots and great understanding have the slightest possibility of contacting the Buddha, but they only come into contact with the Buddha and cannot become a Buddha." ”
"Why is this?" Tang Yuan was stunned.
"Because there is only one Buddha forever. "Tongguang Dao," that is the Buddha. And the highest goal of our practice is to attain the status of an arhat and to liberate ourselves from samsara. ”
"Can't you become a Buddha yourself?" Tang Yuan said with a wry smile.
"Impossible!" Tongguang replied categorically, "How can I become a Buddha as ordinary people?"
Tang Yuan's face was expressionless, and he suddenly thought that the Buddhism in this world believed in Theravada Buddhism, and Theravada Buddhism only recognized that there was only one Buddha in the world. No wonder when he said that as long as he saw his nature and heart, everyone could become a Buddha, all the monks' faces changed so much, and they would be so resistant.
Think of why. The mood that was originally depressed suddenly improved a lot. Tang Yuan looked at the people around him, "The poor monks know what you senior brothers think. Although the poor monks agreed with this idea, the poor monks believed that there was also a Mahayana Buddhism. ”
"Mahayana Buddhism?" everyone looked at Tang Yuan with wide eyes, even the green lantern. Mahayana Buddhism, this is the first time they have heard of it.
"What is Mahayana Buddhism?" said Tongguang with a frown.
"If there is Mahayana Buddhism, there will naturally be Hinayana Buddhism," Tang Yuan smiled, "and the poor monk thinks." The senior brothers are practicing Hinayana Buddhism. ”
Although Kong Lin and the others had not heard of the concept of Mahayana Buddhism, they were still a little dissatisfied when they heard Tang Yuan say that he had Mahayana, and that he and others were practicing Hinayana Buddhism. After all, Mahayana Buddhism sounds a lot higher than Hinayana Buddhism.
"Dare to ask Senior Brother Sanzang, what is Mahayana Buddhism?" Although they were a little angry, the quality of Konglin and the others was still there. At the moment, he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and asked Tang Yuan.
"Mahayana Buddhism is about opening up one's own understanding and benefiting all sentient beings. Tang Yuan said slowly, "Not only to become a Buddha yourself, but also to help thousands of mortals in this world to open their understanding and help them become Buddhas!"
Although Tang Yuan's words are different from the purpose of Buddhism, his ambition is not small, to help tens of millions of people in this world to survive the sea of suffering and help them become Buddhas, but not everyone has the courage to say so. It was also Tang Yuan's great ambition, so Kong Lin and the others didn't know how to refute him for a while.
Although Tang Yuan's purpose is different from that of Buddhism, his ambition has already been issued, and it cannot be said that people are wrong.
Is it wrong to help thousands of ordinary people through the sea of suffering? Is it wrong to help them become Buddhas?
"Amitabha. Brother Sanzang's Dharma is too different, so I can't comment on it. After a long time, Konglin and Tongguang glanced at each other and smiled bitterly one after another.
"The poor monk's handouts may really be different, and it's hard for you senior brothers. Tang Yuan knew that his ideas could not be accepted for a while, after all, Hinayana Buddhism had been circulating in the world for so many years and had a solid foundation, and it was not something that could be changed by a simple sentence or two.
The poor monk was interested in some of the words of Senior Brother Sanzang. Qing Deng's face changed, and he didn't know what he thought, so he said suddenly.
"Oh, I don't know that the poor monk's words moved the junior brother of the green lantern?" Tang Yuan said quietly.
"There won't be only one Buddha in this world. Qing Lantern said lightly, and then looked at the interesting and provocative look in the eyes of Kong Lin and the others, "Perhaps, in addition to the Buddha, there are other Buddhas?"
"For example?" Tang Yuan asked.
"For example, there is the Ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp. Qing Deng looked at Tang Yuan and said meaningfully.
Tang Yuan looked at the green lantern and suddenly understood, daring to love this green lantern is also dissatisfied with the current Theravada Buddhism. Because Theravada Buddhism only recognizes one Buddha, it does not recognize the existence of other Buddhas. But now it seems that the green lantern from the ancient temple of Burning Lamp does not seem to be cold to the Buddha.
They should believe in the ancient Buddha of burning lamps, and Tang Yuan had already guessed the real reason at this time.
"Amitabha, two people who do not correct their fruits. The rest of the monks were dumbfounded. Sanzang and Qinglan are two people, one believes that everyone can become a Buddha, and the other believes that in addition to the Buddha, there is also an ancient Buddha who burns the lamp.
It's ridiculous!
