Taoist Master Wu Bian pointed quietly behind him, and the confused Kite slowly retreated behind him. The Taoist Master waved his whisk and looked at the Wu Buddha peacefully. Their auras were reduced to zero, as if they were returning to their original nature. Perhaps they each represent the true realm of the Tao they believe in. /p
"Dare I ask what the priest's name is?" Wu Fo asked with a smile. /p
Taoist Master Wu Bian replied: "Since the master has asked a question, a river wave has appeared between you and me. This wave is rushing toward me, carrying your so-called 'cause' and reaching me. "The Taoist Master took a step forward and said: "I took a step forward and told you that my name is Boundless. This is the 'result' of the 'cause'. However, at this time I have only completed one 'result', and I have never completed it again. To put it another way, you know my name, hear my timbre, and roughly judge my temper. Did I give you a new 'cause'? No, what you got, or What is self-generated is actually the 'result' produced by the 'cause' you planted yourself, but this 'result' is only completed after being affected by other things and being changed."/p
The tender grass in the kite's hand floated to the side of the boundless Taoist priest, and finally fell to the ground and regained its vitality. Of course, that was just an illusion. /p
The three people's eyes all fell on the young grass and the flying insect with the diseased root next to it. /p
Taoist Master Wu Bian continued: "There is naturally cause and effect in the world. The 'cause' can be unique, but the 'effect' is countless. It is constantly being changed by other things. Could it be that this grass is just the persecutor of the flying insect's cause? Think about it carefully. Thinking about it, isn’t it the reason why the grass is so delicious that it attracts flying insects?”/p
The warm wind floated the young grass blades, and flying insects ran towards this direction and bit on the grass blades. After a few mouthfuls, it flew away, and the root of the disease was also transmitted to the young grass. /p
"Actually, it was the grass that created the 'cause' first. Its fatness and tenderness were the beginning of everything. The 'cause' brought a lot of 'fruits'. The fatter the leaves, the more light they felt, so they would grow more and more." The stronger it is, the more reliable it is to survive in the face of wind and rain. These are all different types and degrees of 'fruits'. Flying insects bite its body and transmit diseases to it, which is also one of the 'fruits'. It's just that this 'effect' is really bad. So from this point of view, the young grass is not the victim of the evil 'cause' of flying insects, but the loser of its own small 'cause'. It has enjoyed many happy 'effects'. Is it possible that resentment will be born because of the 'evil' consequences? No, the grass does not have resentment, and the flying insects do not have the 'cause' of resentment from the grass. Everything is just self-inflicted, and there is nothing else to blame."/p
Wu Fo did not smile again, but his expression was very serious. He seemed to be deep in thought, but did not speak. /p
Taoist Master Wu Bian continued: "If we talk about where the resentment lies, I think there is no resentment between cause and effect. Flying insects are not responsible, and the subsequent contact between flying insects and other objects has nothing to do with the tender grass. As for the The plants infected by grass also suffer from their own evil causes. Flowers need grass to help loosen the soil, so they are closer to the grass roots, so that they are infected with the disease. Saplings need to absorb nutrients from fallen petals. , so if you are infected with the disease, no one can blame anyone. If you are angry, you are also angry with yourself. Under this kind of cause and effect, everything in the world is just the recipient of its own 'karma', just like the boy who was blinded. If He didn't deliberately provoke the angry bird, would he have caused this disaster? Since it's all self-defeating, what rules are there in the world?"/p
Taoist Master Wu Bian waved his fly whisk and said: "Therefore, between the poor and the poor, the master's 'cause and effect' Buddhism does not apply to all things in the world, but what connects all things together is their morality and justice of heaven and earth." "Contact", being a "slaughterer" is not necessarily wrong. If you wipe out the young grass, then all the disasters caused by contact will be gone, and the insects with the root of the disease should also be wiped out. Its disease may be transmitted to other things. If you kill it, the world will be safer. The Buddhist way is similar to the way of heaven and earth, except that you kill insects, I kill insects and grass, and you just follow I judge the life and death of living beings with meaningless "minds", but I infer their future based on their connections, and take measures based on rational judgments. The Buddha cannot transform all "minds", and you cannot kill them all. A creature with evil 'causes', isn't it?"/p
The virtual image disappeared, and the grass lay flat on the soil, and the insects lay beside it, their lives gone. /p
Kite was immersed in the teachings of the boundless Taoist priest and could not extricate himself, but Wufo's expression never changed. /p
The three of them were silent for a long time. Suddenly, Wu Buddha touched his belly and burst out laughing. He pointed at the tender grass and the insects and said, "'Causation' is still going on." The two of them lowered their heads to look, and found that there were still traces of blood on the insects. There was a black spot, and black smoke was emitting from the spot. Wu Buddha then said: "You are wrong. The grass is not guilty, but the insects are guilty. They also leave behind evil 'results' and produce evil 'causes'. All things need to survive, and in order to survive, instinctive actions are not It cannot be counted as a 'cause'. Did you inhale the poisonous smoke because you had to breathe? Doesn't the person who released the poisonous smoke to you have any sins at all?"/p
Wu Buddha said with great energy: "The fatness of the grass is its survival instinct, and the insect bites it because of its own greed. You can tell who is the cause of evil and who bears the consequences. Of course, bugs also have the instinct to survive, but they themselves carry the root of the disease. Even if they don't know it, they are also the culprits that caused all this. When the grass dies innocently, resentment will naturally arise, and the resentment will give the bug a negligible cause of resentment. ', at a specific moment, the 'cause' will come into play. Who says the 'cause' can't happen at the same time? Maybe it is in the process of other 'causes' producing 'effects' that the 'cause' of the grass is embedded in it. , transform the 'effect'. When there are too many 'causes' in a creature, it means there is too much blood or sin in its hands, then there is no need for it to exist in the world. We are all on the road to redeeming all things. In order to eliminate the bugs, but I am compassionate, I am willing to give up killing a disease-carrying grass, because it has no sin and it has the right to live quietly.”/p
Taoist priest Wu Bian asked: "But what if the flowers are infected by the fruit grass? So what?"/p
Wu Buddha calmly replied: "I will kill the grass but keep the flowers?"/p
"What's the difference?"/p
"Yes, I gave the grass a life of living under the light. This is the greatest mercy of sinlessness."/p
