The third day.
Su Mo, Shu Sheng and Yan Zhi walked into the Buddhist hall as usual. Just like yesterday, many Buddhist disciples were still sitting there.
However, what was different from yesterday was that all the Buddhist disciples looked at Su Mo with a little fear.
And Venerable Kuye is no longer as calm as yesterday, and his face is a little pale.
It seems that I have aged a lot...
Seeing Su Mo and the others coming, Ku Ye took the initiative to operate the Demon Subduing Tower and released the Demon Saint's third soul thought.
Su Mo silently put away this third spiritual thought and looked at the dead leaves.
He is no longer as calm and easy-going as he was on the first day, but has become sharper!
That edge of suppressed anger...
Dead Leaf looked at Su Mo stiffly and opened his mouth, "What does Your Majesty want to discuss today?"
Yesterday's discussion still had no winner.
It's just that Su Mo counterattacked the 'selflessness' he wanted to prove in his formless giving!
What Su Mo means is: since people in the world have something to ask for when worshiping Buddha, then Buddhism should provide alms, not some formless alms.
The 'no-self' of giving without form can be said to be without self.
However, it is not a kind of "false selflessness" that cannot be seen in the world, and only relies on "if you give for happiness, you will find peace and happiness in the future"!
There is nothing wrong with "no-self", it is the Mahayana state of mind of Buddhism.
However, Su Mo borrowed Buddhism's formless charity to expose their "false selflessness".
Su Mo looked at the dead leaves and took a deep breath, "How about we discuss the 'heart' today?"
The heart... the direction of the mind.
All thoughts come from the heart, and there is no definition. The things that can be discussed are multiplied and miscellaneous.
Kuye looked at the expression on Su Mo's face and nodded slowly, "Today, I will let the poor monk ask His Majesty how you do?"
Su Mo sat in front of Dead Leaf nonchalantly, while Shu Sheng and Yan Zhi also sat aside.
The expressions on the two people's faces were particularly exciting. Unexpectedly, Su Mo refuted a Buddhist verse yesterday.
Yesterday's debate was so exciting that they couldn't help but want to watch today's debate.
However, Su Mo was the first to ask questions in the past two days.
But today Gu Ye wanted to ask questions first, so the initiative actually fell into Su Mo's hands.
Because the person who expresses the concept first takes the initiative, and the other person can only speak the opposite argument.
I don’t understand what Dead Leaf is thinking...
Dead Leaf looked deeply at Su Mo and said slowly: "The poor monk knows the reason why Your Majesty came here this time. It is simply because the poor monk forced the late emperor to marry him because he wanted this 'no saint in the world'."
"Then let's discuss this matter."
"Your Majesty, do you think that this poor monk wants to be 'no saint in the world' for the sake of all the people in the world? Is it right or wrong?"
This question actually means: If it were Su Mo who had to choose, should he sacrifice one person for the sake of the common people, or should he sacrifice the common people for the sake of one person.
After all, if you want to have no saints in the world, looking at it now, it is the only way for a person to get the luck of the world and embark on the ancient road to immortality.
However, because of the existence of the emperor and the Li clan, the imperial fortune of the world has always been in a state of being ownerless but unable to be recognized as the owner.
Before Su Mo appeared, killing the emperor and Li Clan was the only way!
Su Mo stared at Lord Dry Leaf.
"What your venerable person wants to ask is, the common people's heart and the heart of right and wrong, right?"
Dead Leaf nodded with a lonely expression. He also knew that it was a 'wrong' to force the emperor, who had no fault, to die, but the people were ahead of him, and he could only choose this way even though he knew it was a mistake. ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
But now he just wanted to see how Su Mo, whose understanding was not weaker than his, would choose.
Su Mo shook his head slowly, "In that case, I won't talk about Buddhism today. Let me tell you a story about my hometown."
Dead Leaf was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Su Mo turned his head, looked at the vast void outside the hall, and said leisurely:
"There is a monk in my hometown who meditates in the forest when he is practicing the Bodhisattva Way."
"At this moment, an eagle was chasing a dove in the sky. When the dove was desperate, it flew into the monk's sleeve."
"The eagle flew in front of the monk and asked the monk to release the dove and give it to eat."
"But the monk wanted to save the pigeon and asked the eagle to let the pigeon go. But the eagle said that if I let it go and it lives, I will starve to death. So who can save me?"
"In this way, we have reached an impasse."
"If you hand over the doves, the doves will die. But if you don't hand over the doves, the eagles will starve to death."
"If it were the Venerable, how would the Venerable choose?"
After Su Mo finished speaking, he looked at Lord Ku Ye.
Lord Kuye looked at Su Mo with a complicated expression, "This is a meaningless question. No matter who you help, you are killing the other person."
"Isn't this the same topic as the Venerable?" Su Mo sneered.
Dead Leaf thought for a while and nodded.
After thinking for a long time, Dead Leaf suddenly said: "If the poor monk were that monk, he would feed his own meat to the eagle."
Su Mo nodded, "Your Majesty's idea is good, it is the same as the choice of the monk in my hometown..."
"But in the choice between the heart of the common people and the heart of right and wrong, the Venerable cut off other people's flesh to feed the eagle!"
Dead Leaf shook his head, "The life and death of the poor monk has nothing to do with the overall situation. If the poor monk were the emperor, he would also hand over the fate of the world..."
"I believe in your sincerity. After all, you can choose the answer of cutting your flesh and feeding it to the eagles. Your Majesty is not a hypocrite."
"But both the Venerable Master and the monk from my hometown seem to have forgotten one thing..."
Su Mo said fiercely: "After the eagle survives, countless doves will be buried in its mouth!"
"Although it is innocent and just wants to live, aren't the other pigeons the same?"
"Your Holiness and the monk from my hometown think they have made a choice that has the best of both worlds."
"But I never understood that it was just self-deception..."
Venerable Dry Leaf's face then turned pale again.
Lord Kuye looked at Su Mo blankly, with lingering confusion flashing in his eyes... as if he was trapped in cause and effect.
"How did His Majesty choose?"
Su Mo shook his head, "Back then, I thought there was no alternative answer, and I also thought this question was an unsolvable one."
"Until my good friend made a choice when he encountered the same problem." There was a trace of sadness on Su Mo's face. He was dressed in white and seemed to be lost in his thoughts.
Dead Leaf stiffened and stared at Su Mo: "How did your Majesty choose that friend?"
Su Mo said slowly with a lonely look:
"He used his own life to transfer his Buddha nature to the eagle, and he became a Buddha after crossing the eagle."
"In this way, the dove in his sleeve, countless doves after that, and the eagle all survived..."
"Only he died..."
