In addition to the collective teaching by the seniors, Xia Chenglin and other juniors also have their own activities, where they debate and learn from each other.
Although it is not as complicated as the Wanjie Forum in later generations, it also has five branches: martial arts, literature, chess, philosophy, and strategy.
Disagreements between schools are inevitable, but seeking common ground while reserving differences is also a time-honored quality. Xingxu Yiqi even erected a stone tablet on the square with the words "Three Religions Concentric".
After simple revision and understanding, the content of the first debate was determined to be philosophy after a brief discussion.
The theme was raised by Asking Bodhi - putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately.
At that time, the three religious sects were held accountable for the death of the Brahma Universe. However, because Bodhi was born from the Holy Bodhi, he was respected in the Brahma Universe and no one dared to question his crime. However, due to the situation at that time, the Brahma Universe An explanation must be given.
In the end, Buddha Sword Master came forward in person, held the Buddha's ultimatum, shouldered his responsibility, and executed his junior brother.
This matter is not a secret among the top leaders of the Three Religions, and even the causes and consequences are clear at a glance. Wen Bodhi's rebirth is not too surprising. This is cause and effect, and it is also destiny.
However, after being reborn, Wen Bodhi still couldn't let go of what happened back then, so he chose to run away from Brahma.
In the end, after Tianfo Yuanxiang contacted Tianfo Lord, Tianfo Lord came forward to find the two apprentices, packed them and threw them over.
He hoped that the collision of ideas from all sides would allow his young apprentice to uncover the past and let go of his attachments.
Among all the people present, except for the Buddhist Sword Master Brother who was involved, only Xia Chenglin knew about these matters.
However, this topic is indeed interesting. No matter which one of the three religions you belong to, there will always be cases of misinterpretation of the classics.
Just when everyone was thinking, Yun Wanggui spoke first and mobilized everyone:
"In this case, let me first provide some guidance for all of you.
I am not as good as your classmates in Confucianism, and I am not good at debating either, so I will show my shame first.
It is said to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. But if those who do evil can realize the crimes they have committed and are determined to change, they can still become good people. "
This kind of debate requires too much consideration, especially the person who is the first to speak out. He needs to consider even more, such as whether to set the tone at a higher level.
As a major disciple of Confucianism, Yun Wanggui has a lively and cheerful personality. He can chat with everyone and can quickly establish good relationships with most people. In this situation, he saw everyone's difficulties and naturally did his part. .
Because this was the first time for everyone to debate, although they knew each other's teachers and names, they were not familiar with each other because the time was too short.
Therefore, he set a relatively ordinary tone, stirred up the atmosphere, and gave everyone a step up.
"What is a butcher knife? Different people have different understandings. In the eyes of ordinary people, the knife used to slaughter livestock is a butcher knife; in the eyes of Jianghu people, the sword used to kill people is a butcher knife; on the battlefield, any gun or halberd can be regarded as a butcher knife. .
If you follow what I said, can you put down this butcher knife?
Therefore, the word "butcher's knife" here can be seen as a strong group's unprincipled treatment of a weak group. "
The person who spoke was Lian Yin Yang from Daowu King Valley. As a descendant of Xingxiu Yiqi, his views were somewhat eccentric, but he only said part of it.
The remaining part is continued by Shi Zhijialan: "The so-called putting down the butcher's knife should be about treating others with kindness, and becoming a Buddha immediately can be extended to establishing the goal and confidence of becoming a Buddha."
"Then what is Buddha? How to become a Buddha?" Following this conclusion, Shulou Longsu extended it.
Someone has explained the butcher's knife, but Buddha has not yet demonstrated it.
The soul of the Yum Fruit Truth spoke: "The Buddha is not in the sky, not on the ground, not in the temple, not in the Mahavira, nor is he someone else, but only in his own heart.
There is no difference between living beings and Buddhas, except that Buddhas have no delusions or attachments. When living beings are enlightened, see through, let go, and see the clear nature of their minds, then those living beings are true Buddhas. "
The views of Ksitigarbha sage can represent a path. The basic theories of all practitioners in Buddhism who have walked their own path are similar to what the soul of the Aggregate Fruit Truth says.
On this basis, Mo Qingchi extended and expanded based on his own circumstances:
"The world is like a sea of suffering, boundless. If you want to find your way in it, you need a boat and an oar.
The Buddha walking in front of you is your direction, can also be your soul, and is also your guide. When you escape the sea of suffering, you will also be the Buddha. "
It seems that he is talking about Buddhist principles, but in fact, what Mo Qingchi is expressing is his own experience.
If it weren't for Lin Chongyang's guidance and guidance, if he wanted to find his own way, he would have to waste at least a few more years. Even if he succeeded by then, he might not be as successful as he is now.
Mo Qingchi's argument was continued by Jianzi's fairy tale, but what he said in his words was countless helplessness: "The so-called putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately is the lack of a suitable guide.
However, if the person who persuades others has not yet become a Buddha, how can he guide others to become a Buddha? "
As the only serious casual cultivator among everyone present, he had truly experienced and understood the low-level world.
These are two different paths. Although Xia Chenglin and others come from high backgrounds, they are still willing to put themselves in an ordinary position and move forward together with the common people.
However, Buddhism has its limitations, Taoism has its pursuits, and Confucianism has its ideas.
"The so-called butcher's knife is not a tangible knife in the hand, but the attachment of all living beings to the worries of life and death and the labors of the five desires.
Although it is not easy to let go, if you can let go, you will naturally gain enlightenment. "In the words of Buddha's sword theory, there are not only Zen principles, but also meanings.
While everyone was expressing their opinions, the other side was also discussing the matter.
"A mistake is a mistake, and a mistake is a mistake. The evil person's atonement without paying any price is any different from deceiving himself or others?"
Naturally, Lou Zhiweituo, who practices the karma-negative samadhi of annihilating the Brahma universe, cannot agree with him.
"The rules in the Fa Sect are strict. In normal times, this would not be a big deal, but when the trend is war." Xingxu Yiqi said it very cryptically, but everyone present was not a simple person.
In the final analysis, Bodhi was still too young and it was good to have that kind of passion. The problem was that the two sides were still at war at that time.
"Conversion cannot wash away their sins, but it can change their punishment, and given the circumstances at the time, it might not be a bad idea to give them a chance to atone for their sins."
Midozi's attitude is also the same. When they are in their position, even if they are full of enthusiasm, they still have to consider the overall situation.
Hearing the words of the three people, Yue Wuque on the side sighed in his heart, those who can sit in their current position are more sinister than the other.
Looking back and thinking about it, my brother's attitude towards the Yishangyi clan seems to be the same.
Brainwashing others and then sending them out to kill each other is indeed a pretty good decision.
At least, from the perspective of the three religions and the suffering people, there is no problem with this decision.
"It's easy to help him get out, but the matters between their senior brothers have to be decided by themselves."
As for Confucianism, since Lin Chongyang and Master Taixue are not here, only Jun Fei is here.
