The world will always be like this: the strong conquer the weak, the wise fiddle with the foolish, and only when the strength of each other is equal, there will be equality.

Lin Tian was hungry, so he wanted to find a place to eat, and while eating, he waited for the prey to enter the net, he went to the nearby market and was about to enter a small hotel.

Suddenly, a little novice came over, "Amitabha, is the son's surname Lin Mingtian?"

Lin Tian was stunned and said, "Like, I don't know if the little master is ......"

The little novice grinned, handed over a letter and said, "This is for you." ”

The letter reads "Brother Qi", and the handwriting is of course from Lin Lan's hand!

Lin Tian took the letter, and the content of the letter was that Lin Lan asked him to meet in the Little Putuo Temple.

The small Putuo Temple is not far from here, in the northeast direction, but more than three miles away.

This little novice is called pure thoughts, but his thoughts are not pure at all, he leads the way in front, and he is almost unable to take the food in his hand.

Lin Tian didn't help pay, and Jingnian didn't pay, he was a monk, and the monk only needed to turn the fate into a food, and the relationship didn't need to be paid;

What's more, he is just a child after all, he is still a cute child, when such a child stands at the head of your stall and looks at the buns in the cage in a daze, no one will be stingy to give him two!

What's more, his master is a [Painstaking Master], and if he knows, he will ask with concern whether the painstaking master's body is healthy.

Jing Nian took the food sent by the boss who was also smiling and grinning, and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, Master, he's fine!"

Obviously, Master Painstaking is a man who is quite admired by the people!

Lin Tian had heard of this person, it was mentioned by Huang Yaoshi, this monk does not know martial arts, he is not a person in the martial arts, but his medical skills are good, and it is even more rare to disregard personal interests, he has a bodhisattva heart, Huang Yaoshi and he still have some friendship.

But Master Painstaking was already an old man over eighty years old, and he actually had an apprentice in his teens, which made Lin Tian a little surprised.

The small Putuo Temple is not big, nor grandiose, nor magnificent, but there are a lot of pilgrims, and there are many diners who come to eat vegetarian food, and the vegetarian food here is famous nearby.

Jing Nian was a little sneaky and avoided crowded places, as if he was afraid that the senior brothers would see the food in his hand, so he took Lin Tian to a courtyard, and then left in a hurry, did he want to hide the food?

Lin Tian entered the courtyard, the courtyard was not big, and the canopy of a large pine tree had already covered nearly half of it; there was a simple wooden pavilion under the pine tree, and there were tables and chairs in it—a small table, two chairs; Lin Lan had already stood up from the chair, saw him and said, "Brother, you are here!"

Lin Tian glanced at the courtyard and secretly wondered: "Will Hong Qigong and them ambush here?" As soon as this idea arose, he denied it, he thought that like Hong Qigong, a righteous person who likes fame and sells fame and reputation will not do such a despicable thing!

There was some surprise and worry in Lin Lan's eyes.

Lin Tian walked over with a smile and said in a rather intimate tone, "Brother, why are you here?"

The two brothers sat down, and the dishes and chopsticks were already set on the table.

There was no need to be polite between brothers, Lin Tian had already picked up the dishes and chopsticks and started eating.

Lin Lan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, you must know the purpose of my stay here, and you also know the purpose of my search for you, why bother asking?"

Lin Tian smiled. Of course, he could guess that this brother of his must be trying to persuade him to turn back!

Lin Lan didn't eat, he watched his younger brother eat, Lin Tian didn't speak again, and Lin Lan didn't say anything.

Soon, Lin Tian was full, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "This vegetarian meal in the small Putuo Temple is indeed good!" His words were not against his will, but from the bottom of his heart! He wondered if the men in this temple had been instructed by Huang Yaoshi.

Lin Lan sighed lightly and said, "Brother, are you still refusing to turn back?"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Lin Tian's mouth, and he said, "Why should I turn back?"

Lin Lan was silent, he didn't want to mention his brother's evil deeds again, his expression blamed himself, and muttered to himself: "Alas, you will become like this, it's all my fault!"

Lin Tian heard his words, shook his head with a chuckle, and said, "Brother, you are wrong, this has nothing to do with you." ”

Lin Lan said: "It doesn't matter, if it weren't for me, ......"

Lin Tian interrupted him, "Brother, do you remember what I said? All beings in this world have their own ways of survival, and people are the same, everyone's life path is different, you have yours, I have mine, my life path is my own choice, it has nothing to do with you, just as your life path is your choice, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

"But...... We're brothers, I'm your brother, how can it be okay?!"

Lin Tian still shook his head and said, "You have a good temperament, you believe that all living beings are equal, and you are not good for fame and fortune, but I am different." I pursue what I want, and you pursue what you want, so why do you want to persuade me to turn back? I have never persuaded you to turn back, although I also think that your point of view is stupid and ridiculous!"

Lin Lan was obviously stunned, his eloquence was not as good as his younger brother's, and he said a little anxiously: "If you just pursue fame and fortune, how can I care about you?" But you...... But you kill innocents indiscriminately, betray the country for glory, and forget your ancestors, how can I not care?"

Lin Tian smiled, he pointed to an empty dish on the table, which was originally filled with steamed tofu, and said: "This dish is made of tofu, tofu is made of soybeans, soybeans come from soybeans, every soybean can grow into a soybean, it is alive, but it was killed and made into a dish in this temple, do you say it is innocent?"

If it is correct that all beings are equal, then a person and a soybean are the same and there is no difference; if the life of a soybean is wiped out and made into tofu and burned into vegetables for people to enjoy, then how can it be said that killing a person is indiscriminately killing innocents?

If the obliteration of a soybean is an indiscriminate killing of innocents, then Zhaomin will not be able to eat? If he does not eat, how can he live? Can he live by reciting the sutra that all living beings are equal?"

Lin Tian said this, and couldn't help laughing, "Brother, you misunderstand the meaning of equality of all beings, let me tell you what is the true meaning of equality of all beings-

Every living creature in this world must kill other living beings and eat them in order to sustain themselves, and they themselves are also food for other living beings.

No living being can be an exception to this rule, so under this rule, killing and being killed are equal to all living beings!

And whoever kills whom, who eats whom, depends on who is strong and who is weak, and the strong eat the weak, which is justified!

So there is no such thing as indiscriminate killing of innocents, only the strong killing the weak, and some people are killed by me, and that is because they are weaker than me, and I may be killed in the future, just because I am weaker than that person......"

Lin Tian's gushing discussion was actually not the first time he had said it, but when Lin Lan heard it, he was still chilling all over his body, his heart was trembling slightly, and his hands and feet were trembling slightly.
