Chapter 143: Victory
Buddhism seeks liberation, Taoism seeks leisure, although the same is close to the avenue, beyond the world, its essence is completely different. Even if there are some similarities, they are only similar, floating on the surface.
At the beginning, the Taoist theory of this realm was not perfect, and it was difficult for the Taoist monks to fundamentally refute the theory of Buddhism, nor did they prove the difference between the two of "absolute nature becomes extinction" and "materialization and forgetfulness". However, after the discussion of the Biluo Sword Sect this time, "the unity of heaven and man, the source of the Taixuan" was perfected and explained by the grandmasters, and the group cultivators present jointly recognized it. At this time, when we talk about the nature of Buddhism's emotion-extinguishing, it will cause a great difference in cognition to the Taoist monks.
"Forgetting" is one's own thoughts, and those who "forget" follow their will, become guided, and do not violate their nature. "Extinguishing feelings" is a passive choice, and those who "extinguish" go against their feelings, categorically reject it, and force themselves to control themselves.
Although there are also living beings who have the intention of "extinguishing feelings", after all, only part of them are accounted for, and this is not the case for all.
Buddhism has 84,000 methods to reach sentient beings, so that those who are wise, foolish, virtuous, evil, and have no root organs have a feasible path, but their essential origin is to eliminate a few selfish desires and thoughts, and there is no change.
It is undeniable that if you follow the "path of extinguishing feelings", it is easier for sentient beings to achieve it. Just like "too forgetful of love", dilute one's own lust, good and evil and other miscellaneous thoughts, and only leave the pure essence, it is easier to get closer to the way of heaven.
If there are people who can abandon everything for their own obsession, this road is very good, and it is also the most smooth, and many great supernatural people of the Tao and Buddha families have escaped through the great thousands.
Life is different, the nature is different, and the desire is also different. If you don't have the idea of extinguishing your feelings and forgetting your feelings, and you simply go against your own intention to seek the way of heaven, you will eventually lose nature.
For Taoists, cultivation is self-detachment, and individuals still need to be independent of each other, even if they become great supernatural powers, if they are not naturally fond of helping the world, they will not help others for no reason, or they do not want to be contaminated with cause and effect.
Evil deeds have cause and effect, and good deeds also have cause and effect, and whether they are good or evil, they may all be able to hinder their own enlightenment.
As far as Buddhism is concerned, cultivation is to benefit all sentient beings, and to save others is also to save oneself, and those who have great compassion would rather mistake themselves to become enlightened and complete others to ascend to the other side.
In the past, when the king of the earth saw the hell and the sins and sufferings of the three evil realms, he made a great vow, and the sentient beings were exhausted, and the bodhi was proved that the hell was not empty, and he swore not to become a Buddha.
There are also Guanyin Bodhisattvas who see the suffering of the six realms of reincarnation and return to the world of Buddhahood in order to relieve sentient beings from hanging upside down and not becoming a Buddha.
Although there are no these two bodhisattvas in this world, the great virtues in Buddhism are also endless, relieving suffering and saving people in the vast world.
......
......
Zhijue Buddha nature is profound, cultivation is unpredictable, and heel is extremely deep, even if Zhinian, Zhiqing, Xuanjing and other Longhua real people who can reach the peak, no matter the supernatural powers, the perception is inferior. After the death of his master and the wisdom of the Dharma, in the practice of Buddhism in this realm, there should be no equal! However, after all, everything he has cultivated and learned is related to this world, and the source of his arguments is inferior to Tang Yi, who has been baptized by Taoism many times. What's more, "the unity of heaven and man, the theory of Taixuan" condenses the culmination of a hundred schools, the way of heaven on the top, and the hearts of the people on the bottom, and when all the cultivators of the Taoist sect agree together, its momentum is becoming the pinnacle.
Everyone knows very well that at this time, the Daomen is at the edge, and for the time being, forcing arguments is going against the trend, and it cannot be refuted or suppressed at all!
In such an unfavorable situation, Zhijue can also take the initiative to argue, relying on what he feels and understands, and does not fall behind.
All of a sudden, both Buddhist monks and Taoist monks admired him very much.
......
......
Jin Fei traveled westward, and the jade walked away one by one, and the stars disappeared unconsciously, and a few months had passed in an instant. Whether it is Tang Yi or Zhijue, the wonderful words seem to be endless, and everyone can hear it.
Since Tang Yi's debate, he has always been unhurried, even if he is-for-tat, he has not produced half of the fireworks.
Zhijue is like an external image, like a child, calm when calm, and flushed when intense, not like a Buddhist monk, and does not hide his temperament at all.
After all, Tang Yi's "Taixuan Theory" was more fully implemented, and even if Zhijue tried his best, he barely shared the balance in the early stage, but in the middle stage, it gradually lost support, and he inevitably fell behind at this time.
Zhijue is Zhijue after all, although he has the upper hand, it is impossible for Tang Yi to completely suppress him.
After all, the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism are very different, and it is difficult to use high and low in terms of concept. It's just that Buddhism says that life is a sea of suffering, a house of fire, everything is suffering, and only Nirvana can get rid of the sea of suffering, and get rid of the cycle of suffering in life.
Taoists believe that the essence lies in life and enjoyment, so the cognition of pursuing the ultimate goal is very different, and the means are even more different.
At this time, although the "Theory of Taixuan" is a level deeper than the Buddha's current enlightenment, it is not beyond the Buddha's path in essence.
Originally, Tang Yi had already prepared for a protracted battle, but if it continued like this, he didn't know when it would stop.
Unexpectedly, Zhijue felt that he could not argue, and he did not entangle, nor did he make a stalemate. Between the eyebrows and eyes, the original excitement instantly turned into calm, on the lotus, slowly got up, brought a vermilion robe to move slightly, faced Tang Yihe ten salutes, and happily admit defeat: "Amitabha, the donor's wonderful theory, the little monk worships!"
At this time, when the Buddhist monks saw this situation, they couldn't help but put their palms together and sang together: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south." His voice was steady, but his expression was not disguised, and he felt a little dignified, and in addition to being dignified, the novices were even more unwilling......
The Taoists were all slightly stunned, and they never thought that they would be able to end it so quickly.
Lin Like and the others were thoughtful, and they faintly praised in their hearts.
Tang Yi saw that his person was calm and calm, and he was not half depressed because of defeat, which was not because he was happy and angry, but really disagreed.
is so open-minded, I can't help but praise: "What a wise Buddha heart!"
At the same time, the mind is transparent, the moment is clear, and the wisdom comes to speak, which does not represent the momentum of Buddhism and Taoism, let alone seek victory, but a happy picture, but also a true temperament.
Tang Yi immediately got up and returned the salute and said, "The master has accepted." ”
Zhijue smiled and replied: "Master Tang is polite." Although he did not have the intention of winning, he did not deliberately seek defeat.
When the Taoist theory was formed, Zhiqing once transmitted a message to Zhijue and asked him to argue on behalf of Buddhism.
The last time we got together, the opinions of Buddhism were not unanimous, and all of you Longhua real people had a lot of concerns, and they didn't quite agree with Zhiqing's concerns. If you win this game, it is naturally excellent to hit the heart of the Taoist group of cultivators, and if you do not win, it will also be beneficial to stimulate the thoughts of Buddhism to go together.
The reason why Zhijue readily agreed was not because of Zhiqing, nor because it was a Buddha. Just as Tang Yi guessed, his people had already been happy when they heard the wonderful arguments for several months, and they couldn't bear it, and they were willing to argue with Tang Yi in person.
Although there is no certainty of victory, it does not care about success or failure.
