Chapter 166: Meditating and debating sutras with the old Living Buddha!
After hearing Cao Meng’s explanation of the meaning of ‘The Sutra should not be passed on lightly’, Old Living Buddha Xuanyu immediately understood, and then he saluted Cao Meng with his hands together and said:
“Little friend , It’s the old monk who has taken the form!”
Old Living Buddha Xuanyu didn’t expect that he would be taught a lesson by a junior who was less than twenty after studying Buddhism for thousands of years.
He felt that this trip was not in vain without the Daozhou in the Eastern Region. He is now thinking about whether the Buddhist scriptures in the Western Region should also be implemented in the future and should not be passed on lightly!
Old Living Buddha Xuanyu thought for a while and decided to execute it. Since the Buddha said that "the Sutra should not be passed down lightly", it must be for the good of all sentient beings.
Three thousand people of the Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Region: Cao thief, evil thief, we thank you and your family.
Originally, we could read Buddhist scriptures for free, but now we have to pay a price to read the scriptures.
Cao Meng suddenly felt something and asked the old Living Buddha:
"Old Living Buddha, I wonder if the Buddhist practice in the Western Region is Mahayana Buddhism, Hinayana Buddhism? Or something else? ?”
There are three types of Buddhism in Lanxing, Cao Meng's hometown, namely Mahayana Buddhism, Hinayana Buddhism and Commercial Buddhism.
Cao Meng was especially curious about how Buddhism came to dominate the Buddhist continent in the Western Regions. Whether it was Mahayana, Hinayana, or the most disgusting commercial Buddhism in his hometown!
If Western Region Fozhou followed commercial Buddhism, then the life of the monks in Western Region Fozhou would be really miserable!
It was the first time that Old Living Buddha Xuanyu heard that Buddhism was divided into Hinayana and Mahayana, so he curiously asked:
"What is Hinayana? What is Mahayana?"
Cao Meng feels that Buddhism in the world of cultivation is a bit unorthodox. It doesn’t even know Mahayana and Hinayana. Is this preaching Buddha lazy and confused?
The current Buddha seems to be really lazy and messing around. The monks in his hometown have been doing random things all day long, and not a single Frei has descended on them to kill them!
Buddha: I am only responsible for preaching and educating the world. Buddhism was established by them themselves and has little to do with me!
I only ask these people to be compassionate and let them solve the world's doubts and help the world escape suffering and reach bliss.
I didn’t ask them to worship me, cast a golden body for me, or build a temple for me
What does it have to do with me if Buddhist people are behaving recklessly?
“The Hinayana advocates individual liberation, emphasizing renunciation from secular life, personal liberation and nirvana, and one Buddha alone!
The Mahayana advocates the benefit of all living beings, focusing on the universal salvation of all living beings, teaching and compassion to all living beings, and the The fundamental benefit of all sentient beings, helping them escape suffering and reach bliss!
All sentient beings can become Buddhas and become the Pure Land of Bliss. ”
In desperation, Cao Meng simply gave! The old living Buddha explained the difference between Hinayana Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism.
The Dharma passed down by the Buddha is actually not divided into Mahayana and Hinayana. It is just that each of his disciples has a different understanding, so they are divided into two factions, Mahayana and Hinayana.
At the same time, Cao Meng couldn't help but feel lucky that he had learned a lot of information online in his hometown, so he could fool people!
After what Cao Meng said, the old living Buddha Xuanyu felt that he had gained a lot today. Then he thought about the situation of the Buddha Island in the Western Regions and said:
"According to what my little friend said, I have gained a lot in the Buddhist Islands in the Western Regions. It is closer to the Mahayana, but there are still flaws. Although there is a Buddhist kingdom, it has not reached the point where all sentient beings can ascend to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. "
The Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Regions established three thousand Buddha Kingdoms with Buddhist teachings. Under the interference of Buddhism, the Buddha in the Western Regions Compared with the other four continents, the sentient beings in this continent live a relatively happy life, but there is still a huge gap between them and the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss!
Today, the old living Buddha has learned about the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism. He has decided to rectify the Buddhist continent in the Western Regions after going back and strive to establish a true Buddhist pure land of bliss!
After being asked several times by Cao Meng, Old Living Buddha Xuanyu asked back:
"My friend, do your temples in Daozhou, Eastern Region, practice Hinayana or Mahayana?"
Old Living Buddha Xuanyu didn’t really want to target Cao Meng or embarrass Cao Meng. He just treated Cao Meng as a Buddhist cultivator who would meditate and debate scriptures normally!
"They are not Buddhist cultivators who practice Buddhism, they are evil demons who make money in the name of Buddhism!"
Cao Meng has no favorable impression of the Buddhist cultivators in Daozhou in the East Region at all. No.
In his previous life, he also went to the Buddhist temple in Dongyu Daozhou. The merit box was placed at the front of the temple door. If the money for incense was too short, he would not even be able to enter the gate, let alone burn incense and pray for blessings. .
“Why do you comment like this, little friend?”
Xuanyu, the old living Buddha, looked a little ugly when he heard Cao Meng’s evaluation of Dongyu Daozhou Buddhism.
You must know that the Buddhist sects of the five continents in the lower realm all come from the west. If the Buddhist sects of Daozhou in the Eastern Region are messing around, it will be used to disgrace the Buddhists in the Western Region! "The Buddha once lived in a cave and slept in the wilderness, but the monks of Daozhou in the Eastern Region lived in temples!
The Buddha once begged for food and practiced hard, and the monks in Daozhou in the Eastern Region ate delicious food and drank spicy food!
The Buddha saves all living beings and educates all living beings. The monks from Daozhou in the Eastern Region are saving all sentient beings, fish and flesh!
The temples in Dongyu Daozhou are doing the work of the demonic sect in the name of Buddhism to save all sentient beings.
The Demonic Sect is robbing and plundering, while the Buddhist Sect of Dongyu Daozhou is deceiving and abducting! "
Cao Meng felt that the compassion of Buddhism had faded since the Buddha ascended.
The cassocks worn by the monks in Daozhou in the East Region, are they cassocks? They are human skin!
“! ! ! "
When Cao Meng was scolding the Daozhou Temple in the Eastern Region, the old living Buddha Xuanyu sweated in embarrassment and subconsciously reached out to wipe it away.
In fact, the monks in the Western Region's Fozhou also lived in temples Yes, there is enough food and there is no need to beg for food.
Moreover, temples are generally quite luxurious because they enshrine the golden body of Buddha.
In addition, the Buddha Island in the Western Regions is a Buddhist country with special circumstances. The status of monks is extremely high, and their food, clothing, housing and transportation are also excellent!
After Cao Meng said this, Old Living Buddha Xuanyu felt that the Buddhist tradition in Fozhou in the Western Regions seemed to have made a big mistake and deviated a bit from Buddhist teachings.
The old living Buddha felt that after he returned, he must make rectifications as soon as possible. Then he would start rectifying the monks' food, clothing, housing and transportation!
The Buddha practiced hard, what does it mean for these disciples to enjoy blessings all day long!
“I don’t know which temple in Dongyu Daozhou my friend is talking about. The old monk plans to go and see it!”
Old Living Buddha Xuanyu thinks that the food and accommodation for Buddhist disciples in Dongyu Daozhou are better. , he can tolerate it, but he can't bear it anymore.
He would like to see which temple in Dongyu Daozhou dares to use the name of Buddhism to deceive and deceive all living beings!
"Golden Buddha Temple!"
Cao Meng directly reported the name of the Golden Buddha Temple, the top Buddhist power in Daozhou in the Eastern Region. Speaking of the Golden Buddha Temple, Cao Meng also had some grudges with it.
In the last life, Cao Meng was chased by An Yingji and happened to escape to the Golden Buddha Temple. He wanted to go in and hide for a while to recuperate.
The Golden Buddha Temple belongs to the righteous camp. At that time, Cao Meng was a direct disciple of the Xuantian Sect. He was considered an ally with the monks of the Golden Buddha Temple. But what did the monks of the Golden Buddha Temple do?
Seeing that Cao Meng was injured, the gatekeeper monk not only did not help, but instead asked him to donate 50,000 low-grade spiritual stones for incense, and then buy three Buddhist incense sticks worth 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
In the previous life, the disciples of the Golden Buddha Temple wanted to steal Cao Meng's spiritual stone. In this life, Cao Meng doesn't mind causing them a little trouble!
"Where is the Golden Buddha Temple?"
As soon as Old Living Buddha Xuanyu asked, Cao Meng pointed out the location of the Golden Buddha Temple.
After Xuanyu, the old living Buddha, obtained the location of the Golden Buddha Temple, he waved his monk's robe to tear up the space and opened a space tunnel.
