The next day, Jiming Temple.
Lu Zheng went to the door with Shen Ying and met Guang Yi who was waiting for guests at the door.
"Master Guangyi!"
Guang Yi put his hands together and saluted, then turned sideways and stretched out his hand, saying respectfully, "I've seen Mr. Lu, I've seen Mrs. Shen, please come in!"
"Have my master and Master Haicheng arrived?"
"Master Haicheng has arrived, your command..."
"I am coming."
A cloud fell from the sky and landed directly at the door of Jiming Temple. The cloud dispersed, revealing Taoist Priest Ming Zhang and Yuan Jing.
Guang Yi was greeted and said, "I have met Master Mingzhang and Taoist Master Yuan Jing!"
"Master Guangyi!"
"Invite some of you!"
"please!"
Lu Zheng pulled Shen Ying and walked into the gate with Taoist Master Ming Zhang, and soon arrived at the Main Hall.
I saw Guang Yue sitting cross-legged on the futon at the main seat of the main hall, with a calm expression and his eyes closed to rest.
There are ten futons on the left and right sides of the main hall. The ones on the right side are all empty, and an old monk is sitting on the second seat on the left side.
"This is Master Haicheng from Lanshan Temple." Guang Yi introduced him and placed Taoist Ming Zhang first on the left and Lu Zheng third on the left.
"So formal?" Lu Zheng asked Yuan Jing in a low voice, "Isn't discussing Dharma just about discussing Buddhism with each other? Is it possible that there will be a Dharma fight later?"
Yuan Jing was speechless, "In the process of discussing Dharma, although Dharma power will not be used, the Buddha's heart and mind will use their spiritual thoughts to compete in the sea of consciousness. The danger is no less dangerous than Dharma fighting."
"That's it!" Lu Zheng suddenly realized.
"Master Mingzhang!"
"Master Haicheng!"
Taoist Master Mingzhang and Master Haicheng knew each other, but Lu Zheng had never met them before. At this time, they got to know each other under the introduction of Taoist Master Mingzhang.
However, this was not the time for deep conversation. The few people just exchanged a few words and then fell silent. Then, not long after, clear, deep, or penetrating voices reached everyone's ears.
"Daliuli Temple Weitu, Dalong Temple Shangkun, Luosha Temple Hongjue, pay homage to Shanjiming Temple, please see Guangyue as the host!"
coming! So fast!
Guang Yue opened his eyes, and a burst of bright Buddha light came out of his eyes, "Please!"
"When-when-when-"
The door opened and the bell rang nine times.
When the nine bells disappeared, three young monks arrived just outside the main entrance of the Main Hall.
Guang Yue stood up and stepped forward to welcome the guests.
"I've met Master Guangyue!"
Weitu from Daliuli Temple is in front, wearing a white monk's robe, clasping his hands in salute, with a handsome appearance and deep and pure eyes.
Dalong Temple Shang Kun is on the left, tall and straight, holding a dragon subduing staff, with a faint divine light between his eyes.
Hongjue of Rakshasa Temple is on the right, wearing a brown monk's robe and a red half-collar robe. He is twisting a string of white bone Buddha beads in his hand, and he looks a little bit like a vulture.
"I've seen three of them!"
Guangyue saluted, turned around, stretched out his hand and said, "Guangyue, please!"
"please!"
When the three of them walked into the Main Hall, Lu Zheng and others naturally stood up to greet them. This was a matter of etiquette.
After meeting each other, Wei Tu, Shang Kun and Hong Jue sat on Guang Yue's right.
Guang Yue said first, "The three senior brothers have traveled thousands of miles and worked hard all the way."
"The great scenery is full of outstanding people. Although it is hard work, it is also fun." Weitu said with a smile.
"Amitabha!" Guangyue declared the Buddha's name, "Form is emptiness, form is emptiness."
Shang Kun chuckled and said, "Color is not different from space, and space is not different from color."
Hong Jue continued, "All appearances have their own characteristics, and all heavens have Buddhas. There is no need to see the Tathagata."
"Three senior brothers are good at practicing!" Guang Yue's eyes flashed with light and he said in a condensed voice.
Wei Tu smiled and said, "Amitabha, senior brother has misunderstood."
Guang Yue's eyes flashed, and he understood immediately, so he nodded, "Amitabha! The light comes from the source of the great sun, and it shows that all five aggregates are empty."
Wei Tu shook his head, "Wei's body is like glass, the inside and outside are clear, and the light can be seen."
Then the two of them started talking about Buddhist scriptures that Lu Zheng couldn't understand at all.
Lu Zheng: o((⊙﹏⊙))o.
Before, I was thinking about whether I could rely on the widely spread modern sayings such as "It's not the flag that's moving, it's not the wind that's moving, it's your heart that's moving" and "There's nothing in the first place, so where's the dust?" Lu Zheng is now But decided to play dead.
Damn, I know every word, but I can’t understand them all together, and I’m still pretending to be stupid!
If you don’t understand what others are saying, what are you pretending to be? Get a headgear?
Just pretend to be dead...
Lu Zheng shrank his neck, and Shen Ying asked from the side, "What are they talking about?"
Lu Zheng was speechless and could only say via voice, "I don't understand either!"
Shen Ying looked at Lu Zheng, pursed her lips and smiled. This was the first time Lu Zheng admitted that he didn't understand. He looked miserable, so cute!
"There are soul fluctuations!"
Lu Zheng turned around and saw that the conversation between Guangyue and Weitu was getting slower and slower, and the mental fluctuations between the two were getting stronger and stronger.
"Guang Yue's cultivation level is not as good as Wei Tu's." Shen Ying said in a message.
"But what they are comparing is the Buddha's heart and mind. Although cultivation is blessed, it does not play a decisive role." Lu Zheng replied through a message.
Discussing the Dharma is a communication through words and spirit based on various Buddha's thoughts and understandings of Buddhist scriptures.
Well-intentioned, that is, mutual improvement.
Neutral, that is also mutual discussion.
To be malicious is to try to destroy the other person's beliefs and state of mind.
Although Guangyue is not weak, his talent and understanding are not among the top three of Rizhao Temple's generation. He is not considered a facade, otherwise he would not be allowed to be the abbot of Jiming Temple, so naturally he is not as good as the generation sent by Daliuli Temple. Dimensional map of study tour in the Central Plains.
However, his Buddha's heart and mind are not weak. In recent years, he has been hit by Lu Zheng. His foundation is deep and his mind is calm. Now he is not far behind in discussing Taoism with Weitu.
As Wei Tu and Guang Yue discussed the Dharma, Shang Kun and Hong Jue's expressions gradually turned serious from the previous relaxed mood. Guang Yue's Dharma indeed exceeded their expectations.
You must know that along the way, they have faced a new generation of talents from Central Plains Buddhism. Although they have won and lost, they can basically win when facing opponents of Guangyue's level.
Unexpectedly, Wei Tu, the strongest among them, failed to defeat Guang Yue.
"Amitabha!"
"Amitabha!"
Wei Tu and Guang Yue chanted the Buddha's name at the same time, clasped their hands together and remained silent.
Shen Ying blinked and asked via voice transmission, "Which one of them won?"
Lu Zheng also blinked, "If I read it correctly... it should be a tie."
"Tie?" Shen Ying's eyes turned, "That's right, their spirits are still very stable."
"Senior Brother Guangyue is profound in Buddhism, and Weitu admires him endlessly," said Weitu.
"Senior Brother Weitu's Pure Glazed Dharma is clean and flawless. Guang Yue admires it." Guang Yue also bowed to Namaskar.
"Vito farewell!"
"please!"
Wei Tu stood up, followed by Shang Kun, Hong Jue, Lu Zheng and others.
He sent the three monks out of the mountain gate and watched them go away before everyone returned to the Main Hall.
As soon as he came back, Guang Yue glared and stamped his feet fiercely, "Ami, that Buddha! I'm so tired from discussing the Dharma, I might as well have a fight!"
Thanks to fellow Taoist 08a for the hundred rewards
