Golden mist appeared in the oval-shaped ethereal area, and the figures of Wu Buddha and Boundless Taoist Priest were hidden in it, and the world inside became a place where stars gathered. The psychological world of the two people emerged vividly in it, and one person was captured. The Buddha's light shines everywhere, and a person is surrounded by golden threads carrying principles and connections, as well as looming filigree threads.
After a burst of noise, the Buddha's light and the golden thread disappeared at the same time. The figures of the two people also melted into the stars. After three or four breaths, a Buddha statue appeared among the stars, and at the foot of the Buddha statue appeared a miniature earth that had shrunk countless times, with vivid human beings on the ground. Similarly, on the other side of the Buddha's line, a chaotic world appeared, filled with smoke and war.
In both worlds, a protagonist appears, both 18 or 19 years old, and they enter their respective worlds.
The world of Buddha statues is calm and peaceful, and the villages, counties and cities inside are a harmonious scene. Wherever Buddhist youths pass, catkins rise in the wind, like a burst of white snow falling. The Taoist world is filled with the sound of human beings beating, scolding and dueling. The fighting and iron horses carry billowing smoke, filling the entire urban and rural areas. Taoist youths rush around in it, using their own meager power to save the suffering people they meet.
This is undoubtedly the way of life of two sects. One comes out to save all sentient beings in prosperous or peaceful times, while the other comes out to save all sentient beings in troubled and troubled times.
In the world of Buddha statues, rich people pray for incense and worship Buddha. What they seek is greater wealth and a kind of peace of mind, and the Buddha statues without exception take the "scented oil money" and greater "wish" into their bellies. The monks They meditate behind people who pray for "happiness", recite Bodhisattva tunes for them, and help them tell their wishes to the Buddha. Of course, it is not certain whether the Buddha will help them, but the person who prays is already satisfied. Although they still suffered from what they called "dissatisfaction", it seemed as if their wishes had been fulfilled.
In the world of Taoism, people live in dire straits of war, and darkness and ugliness coexist in society. There is a group of people who wear straw sandals, carry bamboo baskets on their backs, eat chaff, but give away the white film in their hands for free. They could not save all the suffering people they met, but they brought the greatest warmth they had to the people they met. They did not give people faith, but gave them the humble and suffering people. The most direct help from people. However, after helping, they did not accept any small gifts, even an egg or a pancake. They would always tell the person who thanked them, "Everything will be fine, don't remember me, just try to live." People will Looking at their backs, I deeply engraved "Taoist" in my heart.
At a certain moment, the world of Buddha statues and the world of Taoism were in harmony with each other, but the young man remained unmoving as the core. The two came to each other's world at the same time, and a confrontation between Buddha and Taoism began.
Under the Buddha statue, the Taoist young man walked into this peaceful world, and there was a thriving atmosphere everywhere. He walked into the homes of ordinary people. Although there was not a lot of food and fish in every household, the food tank was always full, and occasionally there were food on the table. After a bowl of red meat, the Taoist youth nodded and stopped walking into the village, then entered the county and city. On the surface, the people in the county and city lived a more prosperous life, but they were under great pressure in their hearts. They were always thinking about some interests. They are tired of interpersonal relationships, or angry because they can’t get something, but they all look normal on the surface, and no one can guess that there is an impetuous lion hidden behind them. , will erupt because of a little spark at any time.
Someone came to the Taoist youth and said, "Taoist Master, please explain to me." Not long after, three or two more people came to him and asked, "Taoist Master, can you tell fortunes? Can you give me directions?" The way forward?"
The Taoist young man shook his head and said to these people: "It's natural. Heaven and earth have their own principles, and human destiny is also destined. Whether it's a miracle, luck or suffering, it's all related to everything. Relatedly, why don't you stick to something unpleasant? Why not relax and let nature take its course? You must know that compared to many people, you are already happy enough."
"But Taoist Priest, I am unwilling to accept it." The man continued: "I work hard all day long, but I can't get any rewards all year round, and my hard work cannot be recognized. Am I supposed to be a mediocre person by nature? ? Alas, I feel unwilling, I should get more."
The Taoist youth then said to him: "What you deserve will come sooner or later. Although the connections in the world are many and complex, once they are finalized, it is difficult to change. Similarly, if you don't deserve what you get, you don't have to expect extravagantly. Just let everything take its course. People must learn to be content. Only by being content can you always be happy. You are already very happy, aren't you?" The man shook his head and turned away, and said bitterly: "Hey, I said it. Liaobai said, stinking Taoist priests are useless for anything."
A Buddhist young man came to this chaotic world. He avoided disasters all the way and felt the deep suffering in the world. Then he fell into hesitation. Should he save them or not? It is true that the Buddha wants to save all sentient beings, but the current world is like purgatory. People live in dire straits and suffer great suffering all day long. Isn't death a good relief? If we help, not only will it not have much effect on the entire human world, but it will also cause the survivors to continue to suffer. Instead of doing this, it is better to let the suffering people enter reincarnation as soon as possible. As long as there is cause and effect, they will suffer in this life. You may have to enjoy happiness in your next life.
Therefore, for a long time, the Buddhist young man did not meet anyone who came to ask for help. At a certain moment, he passed by a crooked-neck tree, where a man was hanging himself. When he was about to kick away the stepping stone, two people Their eyes met. The Buddhist young man saw deep helplessness and longing in this person's eyes. At this time, even a greeting would bring great warmth and courage to this dying person.
However, when the words were about to come to his mouth, the Buddhist young man saw the gunpowder smoke behind the crooked neck tree. He frowned and thought to himself, did I harm him by persuading him to live? Look at this muddled If he continues to live in this world, wouldn’t he still suffer pain? Isn’t this a sin on my part? My Buddha is merciful. Life is just a meaning of reincarnation. Let him be liberated as soon as possible.
Then, in front of the man who committed suicide and longed for this warm look, the Buddhist young man walked away calmly. When he left, he heard the sound of stones rolling down in his ears, and behind him, the souls of the dead were seen.
