Although Feng Linyi's answer caused a certain degree of uproar, it was not as expected. It ushered in all kinds of verbal criticism and even loud curses.
On the contrary, there were quite a few old monks who were well-read in scriptures, smiling and nodding, obviously very much in agreement.
"Uncle, what do you think is Buddha?" the little novice monk followed the instructions and asked.
Feng Linwen did not give a more detailed answer, but simply said: "Buddha is in the world."
explain?
There is no need to explain, just throw out an answer, or a similar answer, and countless people will naturally help answer it.
These four words can have many meanings.
The young novice monk nodded and suddenly asked: "How dare I ask my uncle, do you think the Buddha is a Buddha?"
This question is obviously the killer move.
When Feng Linhui said before that Buddha is in the human world, what he meant was nothing more than that all living beings in the world have Buddha nature, and those who are willing to practice and do good and eliminate evil are all Buddhas.
In this world where immortality is impossible, there is obviously no true Buddha in the sense of cultivation.
Buddha is nothing more than a symbolic concept to many people who practice Buddhism.
I don’t know which ancient Buddha was responsible for transmitting Buddhist principles to this world through what means.
Having said that, no one has seen Buddha, but they cannot deny the existence of Buddha.
This is faith, not scripture or doctrine.
Although they have the same origin, they have different definitions.
This question happened to be connected to the previous question. If Feng Linye answered no, he would have maintained the previous answer. But fell into a trap.
If the answer is yes, it will be self-defeating and inferior.
"Buddha is not a Buddha!" Feng Linwen replied.
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar around him.
Many Buddhist monks who had already regarded Feng Lin as their spiritual mentor had expressions of devastation on their faces.
Feng Linmo then said: "Buddha means enlightenment, and ancestor symbolizes status. Enlightenment and status are naturally different. Therefore, the results of different definitions of different concepts are also different between Buddha and Buddha."
Feng Linwen, this is sophistry.
It is simply a replica of White Horse, Fei Ma.
Although he was a bit suspicious of changing the concept, he successfully overcame the crisis and answered the questions.
The little novice was speechless...or the person who controlled the little novice behind the scenes was speechless.
Before the young novice could ask another question, Feng Linwen said first: "Since my nephew is so leisurely and relaxed, my uncle also wants to ask you a question. Let me ask... Is there a Buddha in the world and a Buddha in the sky?"
Feng Lin's question was strange, and there are more interpretations.
It is difficult for the novice monk... or the people behind the novice monk to come up with a unified answer.
This is Feng Linyi's scheming. His question is not too difficult, but there can be many answers.
It is used to target those who plot against him.
Watching the little novice's face change, he spoke several times, and what he said did not match up with what he said at the end, or even contradicted himself.
Many of the monks present were not fools.
Among them, an old monk with white beard and white eyebrows suddenly laughed: "White lotus comes out of the mud, and there is a real Buddha in the fake monk."
Then he bowed to Feng Lin and said: "A monk is a monk and has no family. Since he has no family, why don't the holy monks come to our Tianmen Temple? I will strictly abide by the law."
In terms of hard power, Tianmen Temple is indeed far inferior to Xuankong Temple.
However, Tianmen Temple has a long history and is much older than Xuankong Temple. There are many people who devote themselves to Buddhism and do not practice Buddhism. On this planet, the status of Buddhism is even slightly higher than that of Xuankong Temple.
The person who spoke was Master Huifang, the old abbot of Tianmen Temple, who was highly respected.
Naturally, he also knew Feng Lin's identity and his embarrassing position in Xuankong Temple.
Under such circumstances, when he said these words, he obviously wanted to take action and protect Feng Linwen from leaving the Xuankong Temple.
He would not even hesitate to become hostile to Xuankong Temple because of this.
In a hall not far away, Abbot Dabei's face was as black as coal. He made another miscalculation.
The slap in the face came so quickly...but it seemed like it was no longer a surprise.
"This is a bad star. Why did I blindly bring him back to the mountain and accept him as a disciple? Why didn't I just slap him to death?" Abbot Dabei asked himself, and suddenly felt a pain in his chest, like sapphire. Even my Dharma body couldn't bear this sudden pain.
"Now we're in trouble!" Abbot Dabei breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly found that he was once again riding a tiger.
Little monk Yifan cannot be let go.
Otherwise, if this trend develops, in the future, when the cultivation and fame of young monk Yifan reaches its peak, I am afraid that the incident of Bashan Sword Emperor crushing Xuan Kong with his sword will happen again... or even more tragically.
What's more, now is the time when monk Yifan is famous all over the world. If he is welcomed away by Tianmen Temple.
So what do people think of the Hanging Temple?
Isn’t it true that the hard work of these six months is equivalent to making a wedding dress for Tianmen Temple in vain?
Moreover, it has to build on the reputation of the Hanging Temple.
"What a monk Huifang! That's too much!" Dabei said angrily.
The people in Dabei who plotted to trap Feng Linyi, but were tricked in the opposite direction, were furious.
Facing Master Huifang's invitation, Feng Linhui shook his head and said: "Practice is more than just chanting sutras, interpreting meanings, and passing on thoughts. It also requires practicing it, measuring the world with your own feet, and understanding the sufferings of all living beings. Only by becoming them can we Help them better.”
"From tomorrow onwards, the sermons will end here. From tomorrow onwards, the young monk will go down the mountain alone, experience the three thousand sufferings of the world of mortals, and travel around the world."
Feng Linwen also knew that since Dabei and others finally couldn't help but attack.
This shows that their patience has reached its limit.
Now I'm just here to hide it. If I continue like this, I'm afraid I'll have to break up and show it.
Therefore, Feng Linwen took the opportunity to carry forward his momentum and went down the mountain with a most glorious excuse and reason.
As for the obstruction from the Hanging Temple?
Look at the 'fanatic fans' around Feng Linyi. These people...maybe after three or two months, they will regain their composure and reconsider how to place Feng Linyi.
But now, at this moment... most of them are willing to risk everything for Feng Linye.
When the crowd is concentrated, if a very few people are crazy.
Then under their rendering, almost the whole thing will become crazy.
Abbot Dabei and others naturally heard Feng Linyi's words clearly.
"Going down the mountain?"
"Is he going down the mountain?"
"Forget it! Great suffering! You go find some people. It would be best if you can influence the remnants of Tiansheng. If it doesn't work... then change your clothes. In short... Yifan will not survive this month." Abbot Dabei showed a ferocious look on his face. The appearance of a ruthless and eminent monk was completely lost.
He can't be considered a monk at all!
I just happened to have a shaved head.
In the square, I heard that Feng Linwen was going down the mountain for a trip.
The monks from various temples started speaking out one after another, wanting Feng Linwen to go to their temples to register orders and teach the Dharma.
Feng Linwen responded one by one without refusing.
Be a monk?
What Feng Linwen wants to cultivate is immortality.
Naturally, it is impossible to be a monk all your life.
It's just that now is not the time to break out. He needs to wait for an opportunity.
