Nightwatcher

Chapter 296 New School of Thought

Duer Luohan clasped his hands together, like the sound of a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning: "The troubles are eliminated, and the Buddha's heart is clear."

The frenzied monk seemed to have been hit hard with a stick, his body froze, and then he sat down slowly, cross-legged and meditating.

His expression was still struggling, but he was no longer the madman he was just now.

Du'er Luohan withdrew his gaze, raised his head, and looked at the secret place of Foshan. His ravine face showed rare anger.

As expected of the Bodhisattva's obsession, I just put forward a concept, and he seems to have realized it!

The Buddhism in Kyushu seems to be more based on power and fruit status, and secondly, the Buddhism may be different from the Theravada Buddhism in my world, but it is definitely lower than the Mahayana Buddhism.

At least they don't have the concept of Mahayana Buddhism.

Seeing that the old monk was stunned and seemed to have realized something, Xu Qi'an reckoned that this test was safe.

"What happened just now? Why did the monk suddenly go crazy?"

"Could it be caused by the words of that Yin Luo just now?"

"Can a few words have such power? You're talking nonsense."

Ordinary people have no concept of "Mahayana Buddhism" and "Hinayana Buddhism", so they are a little puzzled by the monk's sudden madness.

Not everyone heard what the monk said before going mad.

At this moment, the old monk under the bodhi tree opened his eyes, with a smile of enlightenment, and the charm of Buddha flowed through his body, completely natural.

"Thank you benefactor for clarifying the confusion, the poor monk has fully realized." The old monk smiled and folded his palms together.

You actually have an epiphany? ! Unexpectedly, I also made a few nonsense words, which made Xu Qi'an feel complicated on the day when the eminent monk was completely enlightened.

Before he opened his mouth to respond, the old monk continued: "When Wenyin was still a fourth-rank ascetic monk, I had doubts about why he couldn't become a Buddha?

"This obsession has been hidden in his heart for countless years, until the end of his life, he realized that there is only one Buddha in the world, and the Buddha is there. So he cut me out and obtained the Bodhisattva status.

"I have been sitting in this secret place for many years, and I still can't figure out how to become a Buddha, let alone why I can't become a Buddha."

The old monk stared at Xu Qi'an, and seemed to pass through him, and saw himself in the far west. Finally, he clasped his hands together and said to himself:

"I am the Buddha, and the Buddha is me, Amitabha!"

What Wenyin insists on is the detached level, and becomes a figure who stands shoulder to shoulder with the Buddha.

Now, he finally realized that Buddha has nothing to do with rank.

"Thank you for your call, the benefactor."

"Master's superb Dharma is not my fault." Xu Qi'an said sincerely.

What he said was to enlighten the mind, but the epiphany was due to the profound accumulation of the obsessive master himself, and the sudden clarity.

Just like the few short sentences just now, ordinary people don't feel anything when they hear them, but Buddhist monks are like a drum in the evening, because they understand the meaning immediately, and even extend and comprehend it in their minds.

Suddenly there was a wind in the secret place, and the old monk turned into green smoke and dispersed, and he didn't know where he went.

rustle

The bodhi tree swayed, and actually produced green bodhi fruits, which hung heavily on the branches.

The fruit exudes a crystal green light, and one can tell that it is not ordinary.

There is no sound in the Buddhaland, only the "rustling" sound of the Bodhi tree, but the Buddhaland is bustling.

Seeing this, the people in the capital are no longer stunned and shocked, they find it incredible.

If you heard it right and read it right, it was the Lord Yinluo who called the old monk under the tree to enlighten him. For this, the old monk thanked him gratefully.

A martial artist who instructs the eminent monk and makes the eminent monk fully enlightened? !

Such absurd and bizarre scene made the people in Beijing forget to cheer.

"What did you say?"

On the top of the restaurant, Chu Yuanzhen asked Master Hengyuan beside him.

"Looking at flowers in the fog, looking at flowers in the fog, Mr. Xu said it clearly, said it clearly." Heng Yuan ignored it and just muttered to himself.

Xu Ningyan's words have such a great influence on Buddhists? Chu Yuanzhen was stunned.

Has this level been broken? Xu Qi'an was overjoyed, and looked at the green Bodhi reluctantly.

Let's talk about it in the temple on the top of the mountain! he said in his heart.

Turning around, just about to leave here, suddenly heard a loud voice, resounding throughout Foshan.

"What is Mahayana Buddhism, and what is Hinayana Buddhism? Donor Xu will make it clear before leaving."

Outside, everyone looked at Master Du'er in astonishment. The dignified Arhat actually intervened in the fight between the two, which was unexpected by everyone.

But at this time, Du'er Luohan's face was so serious, so serious that one would think that he was facing a catastrophic event, so he didn't dare to yell or curse.

What is this Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism?

I can't understand it at all.

The common people don't understand, but among the people at the top of the power in the capital, some people have tasted something a little bit.

Such as Wei Yuan, such as Wang Shoufu.

This is the voice of Duer Luohan. The outside world can indeed hear my voice and see my actions, but what is going on when they directly intervene in the fight?

Xu Qi'an frowned and snorted coldly: "Master, what is a Buddha?"

"Before the Buddha, no one became a Buddha for seven hundred and twenty thousand three hundred and sixty-eight years. After the Buddha, no one became a Buddha for three thousand four hundred and ninety-one years.

"A Buddha is a Buddha, no matter where you come from, everyone can become a Buddha!"

There was questioning in Master Duer's voice.

It turns out that Buddhism in this world has existed for 3,491 years, so why hasn't there been a Mahayana school of thought?

Xu Qi'an pondered for a moment, and came to the conclusion that the world of Kyushu respects power and is based on realm, and whoever has the biggest fist is the boss. Therefore, intellectual development is inhibited.

But in his world, everyone is a mortal body, but the differences in thinking are constantly colliding.

Different environments lead to different development directions.

Since this is the case, then I will tell you what Mahayana Buddhism is. Well, it is the Mahayana Buddhism that I understand. Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice:

"So, in the eyes of Buddhist disciples all over the world, the Buddha is the Buddha, not the Buddha is the Buddha. In my opinion, this kind of thinking is simply ridiculous."

This sentence was so awkward that no one could understand it except for the Buddhist monks outside the venue.

Monk Jingchen couldn't help but said: "It's ridiculous, you must make it clear."

Master Du'er glanced at him, did not speak, turned his eyes away, and looked at Xu Qi'an again.

"Of course it's ridiculous. Take the sorcerers of the Sitianjian as an example. The prisoner is a first-rank sorcerer, but a first-rank sorcerer is not a supervisor. This should be a consensus, right? But in the eyes of your Buddhist sects, the Buddha is the Buddha. This is not ridiculous. Is it weird?

"Shouldn't the Buddha represent a supreme attainment, not just a certain person?"

This statement is really treasonous. The Buddha is the founder of Buddhism, the only Buddha, and the existence they want to worship.

Shouldn't such a high-ranking fairy-level figure be the only Buddha?

But what Xu Qi'an said was indeed reasonable, so the Buddhist monks could not refute it for a while.

Xu Qi'an continued: "So, I have a question to ask the master, what is a Buddha, is it a way to gain power, or is it a kind of thought?"

Master Duer's face was still serious, but there was no anger in his eyes. Instead, he thought seriously for a moment and said, "It's both."

"That's why I said, this is the difference between Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism." Xu Qi'an said with certainty.

The monks below looked at each other in dismay, as if scratching their hearts, they really wanted to listen to Xu Qi'an's theory in one go.

Star Observation Building, Eight Diagrams Platform, and the supervisor stared wide-eyed, muttering softly: "This turtle grandson dares to say anything, it's over, it's over!"

Emperor Yuan Jing looked back and asked, "Jianzheng, what did you say?"

The supervisor smiled: "Your Majesty, Xu Qi'an gave you a big gift."

Emperor Yuan Jing frowned, expressing his confusion.

But the supervisor didn't answer him.

Wei Yuan stood up slowly, with his hands clenched into fists in his dangling sleeves, he seemed to have thought of something.

"sharp"

Wang Shoufu said in a low voice.

sharp? ! Ms. Wang looked over in surprise and wanted to ask, but her father's concentration was evident, and she could only swallow her doubts back.

"At present, Buddhism regards strength as its honor and rank as its root. The goal of every person who cultivates Buddhism is to achieve fruit status, or Arhat or Bodhisattva. To put it bluntly, it is to save oneself. As for the universal salvation of all beings, it must be ranked first. Later, Master Duer, am I right?"

Master Duer was silent for a while, clasped his hands together.

This is the default now.

"Therefore, respecting strength, taking rank as the root, and taking the Buddha as the Buddha, I call this the Hinayana Buddhism." Xu Qi'an looked at the sky and said loudly:

"Master Du'er, all Buddhist eminent monks, am I right?"

A monk retorted: "If this is Hinayana Buddhism, then what is Mahayana Buddhism? Is it that you say that all living beings are Buddhas? This is simply absurd."

"You may find it absurd, but that's because you practice Theravada Buddhism, which essentially respects grades, which is self-interested. But what if you respect your heart?"

"Respect your heart?"

Master Du'er recited the Buddha's name and clasped his hands together: "Please enlighten me, Lord."

"You think that there is only one Buddha in the world, and the Buddha is the Buddha, and it is impossible for a human to become a Buddha, but only to become a Bodhisattva or an Arhat. But, don't forget, is the Buddha born a Buddha?" Xu Qi'an talked eloquently:

"I think that everyone has Buddha nature, but they are only deluded by the filthy atmosphere of the mundane world, but after practicing, everyone can become a Buddha if they see themselves.

"Master, seeing one's nature is a Buddha!"

Boom!

Suddenly a thunderbolt struck across the sky, and the faint sound of Sanskrit sounded.

Everyone was shocked to find that Master Du'er was shining with golden light, echoing the vision of heaven and earth.

In Buddhism, this is epiphany.

The Buddha who sees the nature, Master Buddha Duer who sees the nature is immersed in a wonderful state, fascinated.

A voice screamed in his heart: Why is Buddha a Buddha, why can't I be a Buddha.

No, everyone can become a Buddha.

This Buddha is not the Buddha in the practice system, but the Buddha in the heart.

Xu Qi'an's words may seem reasonable to outsiders, but to the ears of Master Du'er, who has practiced Buddhism for many years, it is simply deafening.

Buddha really can only respect power?

Can a Buddha really only be a Buddha?

How narrow this is.

If this is the case, it is empty talk that the Buddha's light shines on Kyushu. Only when everyone can become a Buddha can Kyushu truly shine on the Buddha's light.

This is the real Dharma.

Buddha represents the pinnacle of the Buddhist system, but Buddhism should not be limited to Buddha.

Ideas of Mahayana Buddhism emerge, new schools of thought emerge

The other monks did not have an epiphany, but they had their own insights, and even felt suddenly enlightened, glimpsed a different Dharma, and glimpsed a new realm of thought.

Among them, Master Jingchen felt the deepest, intoxicated.

In the guard area, the golden gongs suddenly heard low laughter, which came from Wei Yuan who walked out of the arbor.

"The epiphany is good, the epiphany is good!" Wei Yuan said word by word.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Wang Shoufu stroked his beard and smiled.

What's the meaning? What's so ridiculous about the powerful ministers of these two extremely human ministers? Master Du'er had an epiphany, is it something to be happy about?

Although Buddhism and Dafeng are allies, but the atmosphere is tense right now, competing with each other, fighting each other, they are also half enemies.

The civil and military officials didn't think this was something to be happy about.

The roof of the Star Observation Building and the Eight Diagrams Platform.

Emperor Yuan Jing laughed out loud, joyous as never before.

"Xu Qi'an proposed the concept of Mahayana Buddhism. It's just that Master Du'er didn't have an epiphany. Now that he has an epiphany, when he returns to the Western Regions in the future, he will definitely spread Mahayana Buddhism.

"And this will inevitably lead to conflicts between big and small Buddhist concepts. At that time, it will be trivial to argue endlessly. Once there is a division, hahahaha."

He hasn't smiled so freely in many years.

Only equal strength can become an ally. When one side is getting stronger and the other is getting weaker, it will be incompatible.

Dafeng and Buddhism are in such a state now. The Dafeng border is disturbed by the northern and southern barbarians, and Buddhism stands by.

If Buddhism splits in the future, both sides of the split will fight for Dafeng to support themselves. Dafeng can not only improve their status, but also be profitable.

"Jianzheng is right, it really is a big gift, very good, I am very satisfied with this big gift from Xu Qi'an."

In the arbor, many nobles raised their heads in astonishment, looking at the roof of the Sitianjian building.

"Is that His Majesty's laughter?!"

"What is Your Majesty laughing at? What's so ridiculous about it? It's strange that Wei Gong and Wang Shoufu are so abnormal, and so is Your Majesty."

"Mahayana Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism"

Monk Hengyuan was intoxicated and murmured to himself: "I can also become a Buddha, a monk can also become a Buddha, and everyone in the world can become a Buddha. To save all living beings, knowledge is the Buddha."

"What did the dog slave say?"

Mounted widened her eyes and looked at Huaiqing, she knew it was very powerful, but she just didn't understand, so she had to ask the well-informed Huaiqing.

"I don't know what he said, but I do know what the consequences will be," Huaiqing said.

"Consequences?" Zhuanzhuan blinked her peachy eyes.

"Since then, Buddhism has been divided into Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism." Huaiqing smiled.

At the same time, Xu Erlang explained to the golden gongs: "Since then, Buddhism has been divided into Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism."

The golden gongs' eyes widened instantly. They didn't need to explain too clearly, they already knew the meaning contained in Xu New Year's words.

He also knew why Duke Wei laughed.

Jiang Luzhong was overwhelmed with surprise, his voice was very low, trembling with excitement: "This, this, Buddhism is in trouble. What did Xu Ningyan do? What did he do? Hahahaha."

In a few words, he divided the Dharma into Mahayana and Hinayana Xu Ningyan did a great thing Wei Gong, did you expect all this?

An ordinary-looking woman, her eyes lit up immediately, she hated Buddhism, extremely hated it. That's why he specially sent sixth-rank warriors to compete with Monk Jingsi.

The purpose is to suppress the arrogance of Buddhism.

It's a pity that the people under his command failed to live up to expectations. Instead of accomplishing anything, they became the opponent's stepping stone.

It's one thing to join in the fun today by watching the fighting in the watchmen's area, and she wants to see the people in the Buddhist sect suffer and see them fail in the fighting.

Xu Qi'an hasn't won yet, but this surprise is enough for the woman to go home and roll happily on the bed.

He is really capable, the woman thought.

At this time, among the nobles, some people slowly figured out the mystery, and their eyes widened, as if seeing a stunning beauty stripped naked and waiting on the bed.

The surprise and ecstasy were hard to hide.

When the civil and military officials looked at Xu Qi'an again, their eyes were different. Although this man was an eunuch and was annoying, he had to admit that he could always bring surprises to people.

With him in everything, it actually makes people feel at ease.

PS: The writing of these chapters is really slow, please don’t scold me, you all can see how crazy I am. Slow writing is a problem of my ability, not my attitude. I suffer so hard every day and work so hard, which shows my sincerity.

You can scold a genius for not making progress and having fun all day long, but you can't scold a person with mediocre talent who works hard and writes all night long.

My slow coding is not because I am insincere, I am inflated, it is really a matter of my personal ability, I am actually not very good at writing such big scenes, I am good at daily writing.

This book is trying to change, so I am not familiar with many writing methods, and I don’t know much about Buddhism, and I am afraid of causing big loopholes in logic, so I wrote very carefully, very stuck, really.

Moreover, starting from the plot of the fighting method, I wrote 27,000 words in three days. On average, 9,000 words a day, which is not too small. I feel that most full-time authors have been exhausted.

So I'm actually quite sad to see the comment area being sprayed with updates every day. Because I really did my best, I did my best

Okay, take a shower, take a nap, and go to work
