Chapter 274: Persuasion
"Eh!" Wu Dunru was slightly embarrassed, originally wanted to use the tone of Zen Master Tianming to say some words of persuasion, but he didn't expect Zen Master Tianbei to be insightful and so straightforward.
However, Wu Dunru carefully observed that there was only a shallow smile on the thin face of the Tianbei Zen Master, and there seemed to be no unhappy expression.
After thinking about it, since Shaolin in the Western Regions is dedicated to the pursuit of Buddhism, Zen Master Tianbei, as the abbot of Shaolin in the Western Regions, must have profound Buddhism and excellent cultivation.
This kind of character is by no means a character who can't listen to the slightest criticism, since the other party is so straightforward, it is not good for him to beat around the bush too much, and he seems a little childish.
"As a junior, there are some words that should not be said by me, but the matter is important. The kid had been greatly favored by the Tianming Zen Master, so he didn't feel unhappy in his heart! The courage still has to be outspoken, and if there is anything offended, please ask the abbot master to bear with it! The kid apologizes in advance! In order to show his sincerity, Wu Dunru sat up with "laborious" support, and saluted with his hands in fists.
"Master Wu doesn't have to be polite, what is the opinion but it doesn't hurt to speak, the old man listens!"
"Master Abbot also knew that in order to protect the people of Liming from being trampled by the Mongolian iron hooves, the abbot also summoned martial arts colleagues and people with lofty ideals to protect Xiangyang. Wu Dunru spoke slowly.
"I've heard a little about this!Guo Daxia's chivalrous and benevolent heart makes Lao Wei admire!" said the Tianbei Zen Master.
"Now this is a troubled era, the world is constantly strife, your temple is out of the Middle Earth Shaolin, that is, it is an important place for Buddhism, but it is also a vein of martial arts! Wu Dunru continued.
"That's good!" said the Heavenly Compassion Zen Master.
"But the kid listened to the words of the abbot master and the senior brothers, and now your temple is dedicated to seeking Buddhism, but it doesn't attach so much importance to martial arts. Wu Dunru was slightly regretful.
"Although the practice of martial arts can strengthen the body, it also breeds a brave and ruthless heart, which only increases one's own anger! It is really an obstacle to the cultivation of Buddhism by my generation! Therefore, in order to allow his disciples to concentrate on practicing the Dharma, the practice of martial arts in our temple has indeed gradually faded!"
"Master Abbot has a point. But it's biased!"
"Oh, I want to hear about it!" Tianbei Zen Master looked at Wu Dunru with some interest.
"Master Abbot must know that my Buddha is a bodhisattva who saves the world and saves his life, but there is also no shortage of Vajra who subdues demons and subdues tigers! People with good thoughts can naturally be transformed, but with extremely vicious and stubborn people, they must use thunderous means to kill demons and eliminate demons! In this way, it is clear that my Buddha Dharma is vast. Pudu sentient beings ......" Wu Dun Confucianism is righteous and righteous.
"Master Wu Shi is young, and his wisdom is not shallow!No wonder Senior Brother Tianming looks at him so differently!" Zen Master Tianbei exclaimed.
"Besides, Middle-earth Shaolin has stood in Middle-earth for many years, and generations of senior monks have been virtuous and compassionate, but even so it is inevitable that it will be coveted by external demons, and many times it has almost been destroyed by the temple. If it weren't for the generations of warrior monks who had unique skills to resist foreign enemies, how could they ensure that the incense of this thousand-year-old temple would continue to ......," Wu Dunru asked rhetorically.
"The abbot is worried that people who practice martial arts are brave and lose the Buddha's heart, but they don't want to be born into the world and enter the world. Only after experiencing challenges again and again, can we still keep our original intentions unchanged, can we witness our original heart, and can we hope to revitalize Buddhism and reach the Western Elysium......
"Master Wu Shi is reasonable!" Tianbei Zen Master frowned and thought.
"Don't talk about the big one, just talk about the situation of Shaolin in the Western Regions, and there are far Mongolian iron hooves eyeing it. When they win the world, this little Shaolin in the Western Regions can rival his millions of iron hooves, and when the time comes, where will Shaolin in the Western Regions go? Besides, a small King Kong Gate nearby is already ready to move, intending to use Shaolin in the Western Regions as a stepping stone. If your temple still adheres to the current concept, emphasizing Buddha over martial arts, in a few decades, the temple will be full of profound people in Buddhism, but there are very few people who can protect the temple and subdue demons, how to face a strong enemy at that time?" Wu Dunru became more and more excited the more he spoke, and his voice couldn't help but be a little higher-pitched.
"Hey! What Master Wu said is very true! Because of the fire foreman Tuo, the ancestor Kuhui Zen Master led the ordinary monks to leave Shaolin and come to the Western Regions to create a Shaolin line in the Western Regions. ”
"And my master saw all kinds of things with his own eyes. He was an old man who deeply felt that the practice of martial arts disturbed people's minds and confused people's Buddhist hearts, so he only set such a concept after his ancestor passed away and took charge of Shaolin in the Western Regions. ”
"At the beginning, there were also a few uncles who disagreed, and the reason was similar to what Master Wu said, but the master insisted on it. Several uncles opposed it to no avail, so they could only give up!" Zen Master Tianbei recalled.
"At the beginning, I didn't think that in those years, after all, several uncles were still young and strong, which was enough to deter the small people, and the Vajra Gate also occasionally provoked, but it was suppressed by the uncle. And the disciples in the temple are dedicated to practicing the Dharma, and they are happy to make progress, so everyone feels that the decision made by the master back then is not inappropriate, and even very wise!"
In recent years, several uncles have passed away, and retreats have been retreating. Even if there are some small movements in the Vajra Gate, it is not good for the old man to bother the uncles to cultivate Qingqing, so he sees that the Vajra Gate is becoming more and more reckless and rampant, and he also feels something in his heart. ”
"And the disciples in the temple have not suffered hardships, the Dharma is indeed profound, but the Buddha's heart is indeed not firm, as the master Wu said that the flowers that do not experience wind and rain seem to be delicate and beautiful, but in fact they are fragile and vulnerable. It is often easier to be disturbed by the demons in the heart, and the achievements fall short!" Tianbei Zen Master said heartbrokenly.
However, because of the master's death, coupled with the authorities' obsession, he was lucky, so he couldn't make up his mind for a long time. Now listening to the remarks of the martial master, he was deafening, as if he was drinking on the head, and suddenly felt that the situation was indeed dangerous!
"Lao Qu is here to thank Master Wu Shi for saving my Shaolin in the Western Regions in danger! Lao Ge will ask Uncle Shi to come out of the customs, and convene all the elders, the heads of each hall to discuss this matter, and we must strangle the hidden dangers!"
"This ......" Wu Dunru was a little overwhelmed by the reaction of the Tianbei Zen Master, originally he had the idea of giving it a try, knowing that Shaolin in the Western Regions had this drawback, and it was extremely weakened after decades.
Think about the previous life, Southern Shaolin still existed, but it seems that he has not heard of the name of Shaolin in the Western Regions, but it is conceivable that when Shaolin in the Western Regions no longer exists in the world.
Wu Dunru just wanted to do his part to see if he could change the fate of Shaolin in the Western Regions. I really don't have much hope for success, and you know how difficult it is to change the fundamental philosophy of a sect!
But I didn't expect that in just a few words, Tianbei Zen Master would make such a big decision! )
