After all, Yuan Kong is a kind-hearted monk. The scriptures he has recited for many years have taught him what compassion is, and the three-year-old girl's cries have become piercing and disturbing.
The official sword in his hand was about to be taken away by the woman.
"Kill him and you will avenge your senior brother."
The host suddenly spoke. Unexpectedly, he really wanted to kill someone.
Yuankong thought of his senior brother's tragic situation, and a surge of anger came to his mind again, and he kicked the woman away.
The three-year-old child looked at Yuan Kong raising the official sword with fear in her eyes. She pulled her familiar father's sleeve and leaned on him tightly.
Yuan Kong raised the steel knife, but he still hesitated when he saw the little girl.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
When the official saw that the young monk was afraid of killing someone in front of the girl, he took his daughter into his arms, and the woman also rushed to embrace her and cried.
"Kill him. He has done evil. He has kidnapped so many people to feed the dragons... He has harmed so many families... He is not innocent at all."
The host's voice came again.
When Yuankong heard this, his body became excited again. He was heartbroken and decided to raise the butcher knife to kill the evil thief!
Not killing is not enough to anger the people... No, it is not enough to quell one's own anger!
Yuankong's head was filled with the boss's urging and the girl's cries. When his head was spinning, he slashed with the knife.
Just listen to a clang.
His knife made a gash in the ground.
The evil official was already waiting for death, but he didn't. He hugged his wife and daughter tightly as if he was spending the rest of his life, as if he was unwilling to let go again in this life.
"Why not kill?"
The host asked: "Is it because you are too timid? Or is it because the death of your senior brother is not enough to make you hate him!"
Yuankong was sweating profusely and staggered with a pale face. He dropped the remaining sword with both hands and clasped his hands together: "Amitabha..."
Then he said honestly to the host: "This disciple can't do it... I don't dare to kill any living being, let alone a living person."
"If you let him go, what if he continues to do evil and kills more people?"
the host asked loudly.
"But if the disciple kills him, doesn't he become a sinner like him who destroys a family? What's the difference between the disciple doing that and a murderer?"
Yuan Kong looked at the girl's timid eyes with lingering fear. Those eyes were not like his, there was no hatred, they were still very innocent.
The host went on to say that he killed people: "King Kong's angry eyes also kill people, let alone the culprit who killed your senior brother."
Yuan Kong thought about it for a long time.
He finally sighed: "Killing oneself to become a Buddha is a sin, not a true Buddhahood. I can kill him and become a Buddha in the eyes of everyone. But in the eyes of his wife and daughter, how am I different from that demon?"
Since I don't want to be a demon, why should I be a Buddha? The Buddha said: If I don't go to hell, who will? I can't even be a demon, let alone become a Buddha. Host, I understand the true meaning of hell with one thought. I am afraid that I will never be able to achieve enlightenment in my lifetime. "
At this time, the host smiled, very satisfied, and he no longer forced Yuan Kong to kill the evil official.
"The Buddha said: 'Subhuti, what do you mean? The Tathagata has attained Anuttarasamyaksambodhi?' Subhuti said: 'No. World Honored One! World Honored One! There is no lesser Dharma Tathagata who has attained Anuttarasamyaksambodhi.' "Three Bodhisattvas." Even a Buddha cannot get the answer to whether he is already a Buddha. How can you understand what becoming a Buddha is?
This is the motto of our ancestor: There is no Buddha in the world. The Xiaochang Sutra calls him Buddha. He who subdues demons and eliminates demons is called Buddha. Even when he hears the Dharma, he is a Buddha... If everyone is a Buddha, then there is no Buddha in the world.
And there are Buddhas in this world, in the Paradise of Paradise, in our Paradise. So... can one become a Buddha? In other words, no one is a Buddha from time to time. "
The host's questions not only made Yuan Kong go crazy, but also made the people watching go crazy.
What did the host say... why did he finally come to the conclusion that there is no Buddha in the world? Doesn't that mean that the Buddhas in the world and the thunder in the West are all fake?
Yuan Kong thought for a long time, his eyes lit up and he raised his head and said, "Being a Buddha is in your heart. If your heart is like a Buddha, you are a Buddha!"
"good."
The host recited the Buddha's name and left first.
Yuan Kong sang, followed closely.
The evil official's family was left crying bitterly.
However, the two masters and disciples did not walk long before the evil official caught up with them and followed them without saying a word.
The master and apprentice never asked, they just asked for alms along the way and gave him a share.
Slowly, the evil official who had been following the master and apprentice northward was wearing a monk's robe and carrying the burden originally carried by Yuan Kong. At some point, his hair also fell out.
Every time the host stopped to lecture, the evil officials also listened with their legs crossed.
Later, the evil official even took the initiative to ask for alms and respectfully asked the host to have a meal.
He really looks like a monk.
This journey was difficult. Although the host had boundless Buddhist teachings, he would never take action against humans. Therefore, they encountered several bandits and were always in danger. On one occasion, they were even saved by evil officials.
How long will the evil official follow?
The host never asked. Yuankong almost spoke several times, but he still held back.
Until they arrived at the foot of the imperial city.
The host turned around and asked, "Do you understand?"
Yuan Kong replied: "Understood."
The evil official replied: "I understand."
Then, at the foot of the imperial city, an initiation was given, and the evil official was finally given the name Jueyuan.
After that, the host entered the imperial city alone.
On that day, a hundred feet high above the imperial city, two Great Compassionate Buddhas sat opposite each other to show their sanctity.
There is a wonderful voice about the Dharma that spreads throughout the world.
One said: All conditioned methods.
One said: Buddhism has no Buddha.
In terms of both aspects, the world worships and obeys... From now on, there is one more authentic sect in the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss - the Human Buddha Sect.
The founder of the Human Buddha Sect is recorded in Buddhist books, and the senior brother Yuan Kong is also recorded in the books, making him an authentic Buddhist sect.
It advocates that everyone should be like a Buddha and everyone should be a Buddha.
The Shimenjialan Temple in the Paradise Realm asked the Buddhist monk to move the altar, and the Buddhist monk went happily. However, he died of illness in the middle of the journey. Jue Yuan also knew that his sins were serious and entered the world to resolve his sins. Unable to do so, Yuan Kong came up to the Shimen Gate, and there were masters on the 9999th floor outside Jialan Temple.
Yuankong stood outside the steps, took a deep breath, and remembered the earnest teachings of the host... All the past is in his heart, and the Dharma is vast.
Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, no one can stop him.
Finally, the real Buddha of Jialan Temple appeared, and he was named the third Zen disciple and a living Buddha of the Buddhist sect.
——
The White Elephant Bodhisattva slowly finished telling the story, and the entire fairy palace fell into silence.
"Since you have great wisdom...why don't you join my Buddhist sect?"
Yuan Kong, a Zen disciple, or a young immortal, said sincerely: "Because I found that there is indeed no Buddha in this world."
The first-class old monk felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
White Elephant Bodhisattva's voice trembled: "If there is no Buddha in the world, then who are we? If I, Buddha Tathagata, are sitting in the Great Leiyin Temple, then who is he?"
"Not even Tathagata dares to say that he is a true Buddha...why do you say that you are a Buddha?"
Yuankong clasped his hands together and suddenly asked sharply.
"Amitabha... Tathagata is not saying that those who become Buddhas are not Buddhas. We have discussed this issue before. Isn't the conclusion that all those who practice the precepts are true Buddhas? Isn't this the purpose of your Buddhist sect?"
Yuan Kong looked up at the sky.
"But if that's the case, why is it that everyone wants to enter the bliss of the Western Heaven, but no one can enter? Why didn't my ancestor, my presiding master, achieve Zhengguo?
I thought about it and came up with only one answer - Tathagata. Doesn’t he agree with our concept at all? He has always denied our Buddhist sect, and it is only because of the overwhelming consensus in the world that he cannot accept us as the authentic sect. "
White Elephant Bodhisattva shook his head firmly: "All conditioned dharma is not caused by the Tathagata's narrow-mindedness, but by you looking at yourself in the mirror and falling into the mirror. The Tathagata must have taken a fancy to you, otherwise how could you be a Zen disciple in this mortal body. "
"Zenzi? What does it mean? It wasn't until I awakened the memory of a hundred generations later that I guessed the Tathagata's thoughts. He wanted me to be a Buddhist sect, like medicine, melting into my bones, and live this stagnant Sect. He wanted me to be a Buddhist sect. Tools to activate all kinds of situations in this world."
White Elephant Bodhisattva stopped talking and just shook his head.
And an Arhat said: "You have fallen into obsession. It is useless to talk more. If the Tathagata sees you like this, he will definitely be disappointed."
The young immortal put down his clasped hands. Now, he is an immortal, not a Buddha.
"Yuankong, Zenzi, is dead. My title is Si Shen Tianzun.
Under the deity, supervise all gods. "
Si Shen Tianzun said calmly.
Go wild, go wild, go wild!
Several old emperors cursed in their stomachs. They really told us blatantly that this heaven only belongs to the deity alone, right? How dare you set up a special envoy to monitor it?
Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that it turns out that Sishen Tianzun is a chess piece planted by the god a long time ago. He had long known that there would be such a debate between immortals and Buddhas, so he laid the groundwork in advance and waited for this day.
Sishen Tianzun can also be regarded as the successor appointed by the god, and the descendant of the god. The god has allowed him to practice for hundreds of lives, and is ready to teach him the ancient divine emperor's scripture.
I see!
People looked at the deity again, this fat man with an unattractive appearance and thunderous movements.
Once again I was reminded of how terrible he was.
In order to explain the gate, a Zen disciple was directly placed next to Tathagata.
The best way to disintegrate an enemy is to defeat the enemy from the inside... Let people exclaim, I have learned, I have learned.
The appearance of Si Shen Tianzun undoubtedly gave Buddhism a heavy blow.
"Even you yourself don't understand what it means to become a Buddha, and why are you still here arguing with Tao?"
"Wait until you go back and figure out what a Buddha is before you come to the immortal world to debate the Dharma!"
"Hahahaha, this is Buddhism? There are many schools with different opinions. They don't even have a system, they just have names."
"I see, it's ridiculous for Tathagata to become the leader of your Buddhist sect."
For a time, all kinds of comments were flying everywhere in the fairy world.
