"So, the master believes that people should decide their actions based on their inner voice and moral principles?" Liu Wei asked.
The old monk nodded slightly, "That's right. Inner kindness and conscience are the most important forces that guide us in judging good and evil. We must keep calm and think, use love and compassion to guide our actions, and strive to be a kind person .”
Liu Wei just smiled and didn't quite agree with the old monk's statement.
Different people have different inner moral principles and consciences.
Some people can do great good and sacrifice their own lives for the lives of all sentient beings; some people are small benevolent people and can sacrifice their own interests for the benefit of all living beings; some people are neither good nor evil and will not do it for the benefit of all living beings. Even if you sacrifice others, you will not sacrifice yourself for others; some people are small evil and can sacrifice the interests of all living beings for their own interests; while some people are great evil and can sacrifice the lives of all living beings without hesitation in order to survive. .
In this world, there are only a few people who are great and small good people; there are countless people who are small and evil; there are more people who are neither good nor evil than people who are good and small, and fewer than people who are small and evil.
Regarding Liu Wei's questions, the old monk gave one-sided answers and did not give a precise answer to what is good and what is evil.
The so-called good and evil are in the human heart, and the human heart is ever-changing and diverse.
Therefore, Liu Wei sneered at the old monk's answer.
Liu Wei moved his body slightly to make himself more comfortable, and continued to speak: "Master, both us ordinary practitioners and you Buddhists all talk about cause and effect, so Master can tell me about the principles of Buddhism. The theory of cause and effect?"
"Amitabha! The theory of cause and effect is one of the important teachings of Buddhism. It points out that our actions will bring corresponding consequences. Good actions will bring good consequences, and bad actions will bring bad consequences." The old monk clasped his hands together. , with a kind look on his face.
Liu Wei smiled and said: "According to the master's opinion, will what we do now have a greater impact in the future? For example, good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil?"
The old monk nodded, "That's right. Buddhism believes that good deeds will accumulate good results, allowing us to obtain happiness and blessings, while bad deeds will bring pain and bad consequences. This causal relationship does not only occur in this life. The effects will also last into the next life.”
"So, since good deeds can bring good consequences, why do so many people do evil things? Aren't they afraid of getting bad consequences?" Liu Wei asked.
The old monk smiled slightly, with a light of wisdom in his eyes, "This is because people are often driven by greed, ignorance and hatred. They often make unwise choices for immediate benefits and self-satisfaction, ignoring The long-term effects of good and evil cause and effect.”
"But sometimes, even if we do many good deeds, we may not necessarily get corresponding good results. Master, how do you say this?" Liu Wei asked again.
The old monk said the Buddha's name again, "Causation is not static. It is affected by other factors, such as karma in previous lives, behaviors in this life, etc. Although good deeds cannot guarantee immediate rewards, they will definitely have a good effect on our lives. influence, even in the afterlife.”
Liu Wei laughed and said: "Since you can't get good rewards immediately, why do you still do good deeds? No one can say for sure what will happen in the next life! It's better to live well in the present, do whatever you want, and live a more free and unrestrained life. Master, you think I What do you think?"
The old monk shook his head, "Donor, this is why you are so violent! In your past, your hands have been stained with too much blood, and your murderous aura has permeated your heart! The good deeds brought by Good results may appear at unexpected moments and in unexpected ways. We must let go of our utilitarian ambitions, insist on doing good deeds, and believe in the law of cause and effect. Donor, are you willing to practice Buddhism with the old monk? The old monk is willing to help the benefactor escape from the sea of suffering!"
Liu Wei smiled and shook his head, "No! If hundreds of people in your family were killed inexplicably, would you take revenge or would you try to influence them and make them put down their butcher's knives and devote themselves to cultivating Buddhism? What if someone wanted to kill you? , are you going to kill him, or are you going to stretch your neck to kill him, to influence him?"
"Amitabha! Kindness and compassion are a state. No matter what the reward, we should persist in doing good deeds.
Because through practice and good deeds, we can purify our hearts, improve ourselves, and stay away from pain and negative consequences. Donor, let go of the evil thoughts in your heart and practice Buddhism with the old monk! "The old monk said.
Liu Wei looked directly at the old monk, "Master, why don't you answer my question directly? Is it impossible to answer it?"
"Donor, the old monk has already answered it. It's because you have a devil in your heart and you are unwilling to accept it!" the old monk said slowly.
Liu Wei stood up, looked around, and said loudly: "Everyone, do you see it? This is the enlightened monk you worship. He can't even answer my question. How can he answer the questions of all sentient beings? I think everyone has dispersed. Come on, don’t listen to his deceptive words anymore!”
As Liu Wei's voice fell, a cold light flashed in the old monk's originally kind eyes, but it was fleeting.
At this moment, a man in the crowd stood up and glared at Liu Wei, "You little kid is really ungrateful. The master is kind and doesn't want to argue with you, but you are repeatedly aggressive! You have been delaying the master from explaining Buddhism to us. What’s your intention?”
As soon as the man finished speaking, another middle-aged woman stood up and pointed at Liu Weidao: "You are just a young boy who sincerely comes to cause trouble, right? Who arranged for you to come?"
Liu Wei looked at the poor performance of the two people and sneered: "You two, please stop acting. The enlightened monk of Jinding Temple lectures on Buddhism, and you still need two trustees?"
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
Although these two people showed a righteous and indignant posture, their acting skills were a bit poor. Liu Wei suddenly thought that these two people were invited by Jinding Temple to support or denounce them at critical moments.
"Amitabha! Donor, please stop slandering our Golden Summit Temple! If the benefactor doesn't believe in Buddhism, just leave!" the old monk said.
"Master, we can't let him go. This person has ulterior motives. He must be sent by some people to cause trouble. Let me capture him and interrogate him to find out the truth!" the man said loudly.
After the man finished speaking, more and more people in the field began to accuse Liu Wei and wanted to take Liu Wei down.
For a moment, the venue was extremely noisy.
Several people even stood up and glared at Liu Wei, preparing to surround Liu Wei.
Liu Wei looked at these people and had to admire the methods of this group of monks from Jinding Temple.
The vast majority of these people really admire and trust the Buddhist teachings of Jinding Temple so much that they might as well become ordained and become monks in Jinding Temple.
Liu Wei glanced at everyone and sneered: "I'm leaving. I wonder who of you can keep me today?"
It's not that Liu Wei is arrogant, but that in the room, except for the old monk who is a strong man at the God King Realm, the man and the woman are at the Holy King Realm, and the rest are at the God King Realm and below.
These people are really nothing to worry about today's Liu Wei.
If he wanted, he could massacre all these people here.
When the man heard Liu Wei's words, he sneered and said: "You are young, but your tone is not small! Today I will see if I can keep you!"
Everyone can see that Liu Wei is only at the level of Saint Master. With such a level of cultivation, there are a lot of people in the field, and any one of them can take down Liu Wei.
After the man finished speaking, he took a step forward and was already in front of Liu Wei.
The man stretched out his right hand, spread his fingers like an eagle's claws, and grabbed Liu Wei's head.
At this moment, the old monk suddenly said: "Stop, you are the one who attacks and kills at will in this pure place of Buddhism? I, the Buddha, am merciful and let him go!"
The man stopped his hand, glared at Liu Wei fiercely, turned to look at the old monk, clasped his hands together, and saluted the old monk: "Master is still kind!"
People around him also echoed him, saying that the old monk was compassionate, benevolent, benevolent, generous, etc., all of which were full of praise.
Liu Wei shook his head. This group of stupid people is hopeless.
He even doubted whether the monk from Jinding Temple had some magic tricks to confuse people's hearts, which actually made these people so pious.
Liu
Wei sent a message to Zeng Chang, asking Zeng Chang to stay first and be careful not to be brainwashed by this old monk.
Although Zeng Chang was confused as to why Liu Wei wanted to stay by himself, he still did so.
Liu Wei turned around and walked outside.
Just after Liu Wei turned around, the old monk winked at the novice beside him. The novice understood and disappeared on the high platform.
At this time, the old monk said the Buddha's name again: "Dear donors, please be calm, the old monk is about to start teaching Buddhism!"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at the old monk calmly and attentively.
At this moment, Liu Wei had left the square behind the hall and was walking out.
And when he arrived at the gate of the temple, the monks who had been chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha on the grass suddenly appeared around Liu Wei, surrounding him.
Liu Wei looked at the four monks and smiled.
He had already expected that the old monk would not let him leave so easily.
The reason why the old monk did that in front of everyone was just to give everyone an image of him being compassionate and magnanimous.
Liu Wei looked at the four monks and asked with a smile: "Senior monks, why are you blocking my way?"
"Amitabha! Donor, you have too much evil energy and have been entangled by bad karma. Stay in the temple and listen to the Dharma for a period of time. Let me, the Buddha, cleanse your sinful heart and help you get rid of your bad karma. What do you think?" A monk said.
Liu Wei shook his head, "I'm not interested in Buddhism, but I appreciate the kindness of some eminent monks!"
After Liu Wei finished speaking, he raised his feet and tried to pass between the two of them.
Unexpectedly, both monks moved a step to the side and stood in front of Liu Wei.
Liu Wei frowned, "What do you mean by this? Do you want to force me to stay here?"
"My Buddha is merciful, please don't be stubborn! The donor's bad karma is too heavy. If you leave it alone, you will only commit murder for no reason and put yourself in a situation that will never be recovered! The donor listened to the advice of the poor monk and wait until you get rid of the karma on your body in the temple. The evil spirit and bad karma, the donor can leave or stay," the monk said.
Liu Wei glanced at the four of them, his face turned cold, "What if I have to leave?"
The monk clasped his hands and said, "Then it's not up to the donor!"
"Although I feel quite contemptuous of what you monks are doing, I still have awe of Buddhism! I don't want to go on a killing spree in this Buddhist land, but if you insist on forcing me to do it, then Don't blame me!" Liu Wei said coldly.
The four of them were only at the level of the God King, so Liu Wei really didn't take them seriously.
However, the four of them did not take Liu Wei's warning to heart.
A monk in front of Liu Wei grabbed Liu Wei's shoulder, using an authentic Buddhist grasping hand.
Liu Wei stood there without moving at all, and directly punched him.
Click!
With a crisp sound of bone cracking, the monk's right arm was broken directly, and the white bones were exposed.
The monk also flew out in an instant.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
As the monk flew out, Liu Wei punched the other person in front of him on the shoulder.
There was another sound of bone cracking, and the monk's shoulder bones were directly broken, and the man was immediately thrown away like a kite with its string broken.
All of this happened too suddenly, basically in the blink of an eye.
By the time the remaining two people reacted, the two people together had been defeated by Liu Wei's two punches.
They never thought that a young man in the Saint Realm would have such strength and reaction speed.
Those were two real God King Realm experts, and they were knocked down by this young man with just two punches!
After the remaining two monks reacted, they did not immediately attack Liu Wei. Instead, they stepped back ten feet and kept a distance from Liu Wei.
Liu Wei looked at the two monks and said, "Do you still want to keep me?"
It's still the monk who spoke first, with his hands
Namaste. "Amitabha, since the donor is determined to leave and refuses to accept my baptism, then leave on your own!"
Liu Wei laughed loudly, his laughter full of ridicule, and strode out of the temple.
Liu Wei was indeed mocking these people.
It was a good Buddhist holy place, but it was turned into a mess by this group of monks, who relied on tricks to deceive people to make money for themselves.
If it had been someone with less strength, I'm afraid today wouldn't have ended well!
He keeps saying he is compassionate, but he always does things that go against his conscience.
Buddhism pays attention to the retribution of good and evil. Liu Wei wonders whether these monks who live in Buddhism but do evil deeds will get the evil consequences they deserve in the end?
"The world is declining, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be!" Liu Wei murmured as he walked in the quiet forest.
Just after Liu Wei left, a sweeping monk with a broom in his hand appeared on the forest path.
The monk is simple and unpretentious, and his monk's robes are all patched.
The monk just swept the fallen leaves bit by bit, like an ordinary old man.
However, every step the monk took was exactly the same as the previous step, as if he had measured it with a ruler.
Where the monk settled down, a lotus flower appeared vaguely, which was quite blurry.
Not long after the monk appeared, two chirping magpies on the branches flew down and landed on the monk's left and right shoulders.
After the magpie landed, it looked at the monk curiously, and then began to peck at the monk's tattered hat.
The monk seemed unaware of this and just silently swept the fallen leaves.
After the monk had just finished clearing the fallen leaves on the path, the monk disappeared directly from the spot, silently, as if he had never appeared before.
After the monk was young, the two magpies just stopped in the air. After a breath, the two magpies flapped their wings and flew up the branch.
After a few breaths, one of the four monks who had surrounded Liu Wei came over, stood on the path in the forest, and looked in the direction Liu Wei was going.
After he was sure that Liu Wei had left, he turned towards the temple.
As for the ragged monk sweeping the floor, it was as if he had never appeared before, silently and without anyone noticing.
Liu Wei returned to the restaurant where he lived before, entered the Divine Prison Tower and began to meditate and practice.
After more than two hours of outside contact, there was a knock on the door.
Liu Wei left the Divine Prison Tower, opened the door, and Zeng Chang walked in.
Liu Wei closed the door, looked at Zeng Chang and asked, "What did the old monk say?"
Zeng often poured himself a cup of tea, drank it down and said, "It's just some deceptive rhetoric!"
Liu Wei smiled and said, "You weren't bewitched, were you?"
Zeng Chang rolled his eyes at Liu Wei, "Brother Liu, you underestimate me, don't you? We sword cultivators have clear sword minds, how can we be bewitched so easily? For us sword cultivators, this kind of bewitchment The skills of the human heart are just child’s play and are nothing to worry about!”
Liu Wei gave a thumbs up to Zeng Chang and joked: "Brother Zeng is awesome!"
Zeng Chang waved his hand, "Brother Liu, please stop teasing me! What are your plans next?"
"What's the plan?" Liu Wei asked.
"Aren't you ready to expose their deceptive tactics?" Zeng Chang asked rhetorically.
Liu Wei smiled and said, "Did I eat enough to support myself? These people are hopelessly stupid. I went to help them, but they still thought I was harming them! You saw it today, and they have all been killed." My parents probably don’t even recognize me because I’m so bewitched, so I’m hopeless!”
Zeng Chang nodded, "That's indeed the case. I'm just wondering. They are all monks. How come they are so easily deceived?"
"This is the power of these monks from Jinding Temple. They have studied the human heart so thoroughly!" Liu Wei said softly.
"By the way, Brother Liu, why did you ask me to stay instead of leaving with you?" Zeng Chang asked.
Liu Wei looked at Zeng Chang
, "I'm afraid you will be exposed! There is Yuntian Sword Sect behind you. Once you are exposed, it will bring trouble to you Yuntian Sword Sect!"
Zeng Chang was still a little confused, "Brother Liu, why did I hear so confused?"
Liu Wei rubbed his temples, "I knew they wouldn't let me leave so easily. They would definitely find a way to keep me here! Sure enough, when I was about to leave the temple, four monks surrounded me. , prepare to keep me by force!"
"Then you're not injured, are you?" Zeng Chang asked quickly.
Liu Wei chuckled, "Those four rotten fish and shrimps also want to keep me? If I hadn't been merciful, all four of them would have gone to see their Buddha!"
Zeng Chang scratched his head in embarrassment and showed a naive smile, "That's right, how could they hurt Brother Liu?"
