Chapter 22: Talking about the Scriptures (Part 2)

This loud shout was like cold water dripping into the boiling oil, which suddenly attracted everyone's attention. At first glance, it turned out to be a thin and ascetic monk, followed by a group of the same Buddhist disciples. At this time, the monk who was talking was solemnly folded his hands in place and said, "I don't agree with the words of the monk friend."

At this time, everyone around looked at this scene with interest, because everyone knew that it seemed that the scene of debate and debate was about to be debated again. Everyone held hope and looked at Mu Yuan, hoping that Mu Yuan could argue with him.

Everyone has long seen that Mu Yuan is a Buddhist monk, and the person on the other side is also a Buddhist practitioner. You should know that the Buddhist lineage has always been an eloquent and eloquent person. If these two people were to be argued in public today, it would be another auditory feast, and everyone would definitely benefit a lot.

If you want to talk about the Taoist zither art, Mu Yuan is naturally not very good at it, but the few people on the other side are also Buddhist disciples. When they look at everyone, everyone looks at themselves with anticipation, especially Shang Qian, who has been pulling the corner of her clothes, obviously she can feel that she hopes so much. It seems that today's debate will definitely not be able to escape, and it will be next.

At that moment, Mu Yuan was not vague and sat on the ground. He took out a string of Buddhist beads from his sleeve with his left hand, raised his right hand, and said politely: "Mencius, please, first." Chu Xunyu and others around him immediately took a step back and sat down together, looking at the monks opposite him.

The ascetic monk put his palms together, chanted the Buddha's name with great praise, and then led the monks around him to sit down and slowly said: "What the monks said just now is that they do not distinguish between sects and form, so I ask, since they do not distinguish between sects, why are there Buddhas? Why are there Taos?"

Mu Yuan asked replies without answering: "What do monks think of Buddha?"

The ascetic monk replied: "Buddha is a person with great enlightenment; Buddha is a person with great compassion; Buddha is a person with great courage to explore and pursue everything; Buddha is a person who responds to the fate and saves the world."

Mu Yuan was asking: "What is the cultivation of Buddha?"

The ascetic shook his head and replied: "I dare not speak of cultivation, I can only speak of trial."

"Then how to interpret the word "test"?"

"Amitabha" The ascetic monk chanted the Buddha's name and said, "Buddhist is located in the Western Pure Land. Those who have great opportunities and enlightenment can go. Looking at this vast world, I dare to say that there are countless people who practice Buddhism, and how many people can pass it? Therefore, the Buddha's path is vast and I dare not speak of cultivation. I can only say that I have a Buddha in my heart and advocate the Western Pure Land, practice hard in this world and train myself. Just to one day, I can be compassionate and able to ascend to the Western world." After saying this, the monks around me all looked solemn, and at the same time, the Buddha's name "Amitabha" loudly, and the voice resounded throughout the sky.

Mu Yuan pinched a rosary in his hand and said, "My monk's words are biased."

"Oh? Please give me some advice."

"Why is the Buddha? He is a great enlightenment, a great compassionate person, and a great fate to save the world." Mu Yuan said softly: "Since this is the case, the Buddha is well aware of the sufferings of the world, so he saves the world. Why do monks think that they have no chance? Since they have been practicing hard for a lifetime and dare not speak of cultivation, how can they say that they can reach the Western Pure Land? It should be noted that the three thousand worlds can be called Buddha."

"If all of them are Buddhas, then everyone in the world can be Buddhas. How can we come to the Western Paradise and how can we become Buddhas by practicing hard?" At this time, another monk was interjected by the monk.

"Then," Mu Yuan pinched another rosary bead and looked at the monk: "My monks think there is someone who cannot become a Buddha in this world?"

"have."

“Why?”

The ascetic monk replied: "The sufferings in the world are so difficult, people are so mixed with body and mind, and many obstacles in life. The world is so free from suffering and sorrow, and many disasters and difficulties. Most of the people with cowardly personality are burdened by the sufferings in the world. How dare such people say Buddha?"

"Teach according to your aptitude and become a Buddha after seeing one's nature." Mu Yuan said with a smile.

"Please also ask the monks to explain it." The ascetic monk raised his hand.

Mu Yuan gently pinched a bead and explained: "Buddha is the one who is great enlightened, like a teacher who preaches, teaches karma, and solves doubts. In the world, those who are first awakened can teach those who are later awakened, and those who are later awakened can teach those who are not awakened. In this cycle, then those who are enlightened everywhere can be enlightened everywhere, and those who are enlightened everywhere can be Buddhas. Buddha is nature, and naturally is Buddhas. People in Buddhas will naturally become Buddhas. My Buddha is vast and incarnated in millions. In our world, those who want to become Buddhas can break the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance, and those who are self-aware can become Buddhas."

Mu Yuan paused at this time, and continued to pinch a rosary and said, "What the monks said just now is that people's hearts are changing, and good and bad are uneven, but it is a fact. However, the Buddha said that human nature is good, and people's hearts have Buddhas. Then, there are those who are traitors and evil in the world. Even if they commit heinous sins, they are not born with evil in their own hearts, but because of ignorance. Ignorance is ignorance, and they do not understand the reason, and do not understand the heavenly way. So, in front of these traitors and evil people, should I give up on them? In fact, it is not that my Buddha is compassionate and sincere, and constantly enlightening him day and night

We teach them tirelessly, as long as they realize their true nature, even if they commit the ten evil people, they can become Buddhas at this moment. I think that my Buddhism is vast, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva once went deep into the Avici Hell, "Hell is not empty, and I will not become a Buddha, and all sentient beings can be saved to achieve Bodhi." The three thousand great wishes made just prove my Buddha's compassion. As long as I teach according to my aptitude, I will be able to save all the Buddhas, and even prove that everyone in this world can be called a Buddha, and everyone will become a Buddha. If you only seek to become a Buddha, then you are only your own Buddha, your own Buddha. You have not seen the Buddhas of others."

After saying this, although everyone around them was not a Buddhist practitioner, they all applauded and mostly understood it after hearing this wonderful statement.

At this time, Mu Yuan said again: "As for the monks just now, the distinction between Buddha and Taoism is actually narrow. Buddha and Taoism does not distinguish between you and me, but because the common goal is to pursue the understanding of the heavenly way, escape from life and death, and is not burdened by ordinary people. The Buddha said: "Respecting other teachings is to respect my teachings, listen carefully, listen carefully, listen carefully. The so-called listening carefully is to listen carefully. The Buddhist teachings seem different, but in fact, to pursue the truth of heaven and earth. The truth does not distinguish between boundaries and land. Therefore, Buddha and Taoism are not rejected, and the world is all people who can be saved. When the monks said something just now, they only saw their own Buddhas, but did not see other Buddhas, so they dared not speak up, but they dared to speak up."

The ascetic monks on the opposite side were sweating profusely on the spot. The monks closed their eyes and shook themselves secretly. At this time, Mu Yuan continued to press a Buddhist bead and asked, "Amitabha, what is Buddha?"

The monks on the opposite side worshiped the West together and said, "Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful."

Mu Yuan hurriedly held the rosary, asked afterwards, and said, "Amitabha, what is Buddha?"

The monks were worshiping: "Amitabha, my Buddha is vast."

Mu Yuan pinched the rosary bead and shouted loudly: "Amitabha, what is Buddha?"

The monks immediately sweated like rain, bowed deeply, and recited in unison: "Amitabha, my Buddha, is a person of great enlightenment and great wisdom."

At this time, Mu Yuan stopped talking, closed his eyes and continued to turn the rosary, chanting the "Heart Sutra of Prajna Paramita" in a low voice. Soon, the monks on the opposite side sang together, and the Buddha's light flashed on the top of the mountain, with a clear and graceful sound. Everyone present closed their eyes and sat on the ground, comprehension of the mysterious and mysterious realm at this moment. Although it is Buddhist principles, it implies great wisdom to understand the destiny of heaven.

Not far away, in a small temple among the mountains, there was a group of monks sitting on the cushion. Among them, an old monk with white eyebrows opened his eyes and nodded and smiled: "Junior Brother Huitan really accepted a good disciple, and he has a high understanding."

At this time, a monk was by his side, opened his eyes and frowned and said, "The person around him is deeply seed of the inner demon, I'm afraid..." He didn't say anything anymore.

At this time, the old monk Baimei said, "My Buddha is vast and I cannot pass on all people. My Buddha is compassionate and should not let it go. Haiqing, then you will bring them here."

A monk bowed and said, "Respecting the abbot's decree, will you go now?"

"No," the old monk from Baimei shook his head and said, "Qingyang Palace has sent someone out, let's wait for a few days."

Just as everyone on the top of the mountain had realized the experience, a group of monks came to Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan, and the first one said, "The Palace Master of Qingyang Palace invites you to the palace to talk to you."

Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan looked at each other, and Wangchen took a step forward at this time and said, "Since that's the case, let's go and disturb you."

Hearing Wangchen say this, Chu Xunyu and Mu Yuan are not good at opposing it, and they follow the people. Not long after, they arrived in front of Qingyang Palace. Looking at the green mountain gate, Chu Xunyu suddenly stepped forward and looked at Wangchen and said, "Senior, have old friends in this Qingyang Palace."

"Huh?" Wang Chen was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "Did you see it?"

"Hmph," Chu Xunyu curled his lips and said, "I just saw that you agreed so readily that you knew that Senior had an old age in this Qingyang Palace."

Wang Chen laughed and said, "Yin Xi, the founder of Qingyang Palace, is a person who has a deep understanding of the variables of stars. They have their own unique views on the understanding of the way of heaven, so they may not have gained anything when they come here this time."

"I just asked my senior who he knew about his old friend." Chu Xunyu looked at Wangchen without any movement.

"A mysterious elder, maybe you will see it yourself in a short while."

Chu Xunyu curled his lips after hearing this and asked, "Can't you tell me the specific situation? It's not fun to guess like this."

Wang Chen shook his head helplessly and said, "It's not that I won't say it, but that's not that I can't explain it myself. I don't know the origin of this person either. I just met once back then, but I don't know the others."

"I don't know anything?" Chu Xunyu said strangely.

"Yes," Wangchen smiled, "but don't worry, this person has a deep understanding of the evolution of the stars in the heavens. If this person can meet you, it will definitely be enlightened."

"Good in deduction? How could this person be better than his predecessors?" Mei Wan asked sideways.

"I dare not look up." Wang Chen sighed and said.

Hearing Wang Chen say this, everyone sighed. Wang Chen's Tianji Pavilion has already understood the changes in the way of heaven, which is well known to everyone in the world. This person is even worse than Wang Chen, which is really shocking.

Just as you were savoring Wangchen's words, the boy who informed him had already returned and said to you: "My head is waiting for you."

Everyone nodded and entered with them. After coming to the hall, they saw an old man standing in the hall with his back facing everyone. They looked around at the hall and saw that there were various armillary spheres and armillary spheres in the hall; sundials and extreme spheres filled the entire room. On the middle hall, there was a horizontal plaque with two big characters on the plaque, "Stars".

Under the big plaque of stars, the old man in plain clothes slowly turned his head and saw that the old man had a normal face, but the more he looked, the more he became blurry. It seemed that he felt like the boundless universe and could not be explored.

Just as everyone was lost in the realm of the old man, Chu Xunyu suddenly heard a voice surrounding his ears, awakening himself, and looked around in confusion. At this time, the old man under the star plaque smiled slightly and said, "So that's it, is this little friend the one who is destined to be?"

As soon as the sound appeared, everyone woke up and only smiled but didn't say anything. It seemed that he had known all this. The old man kindly said to Chu Xunyu: "This little friend with a sword on his back, please follow the Taoist boy to the door." Chu Xunyu frowned, thought for a while, and said calmly: "So, please lead the way."

A boy walked out of the side door and led Chu Xunyu into it. At this time, the old man smiled at the others and said, "The old Qingyang Palace Palace Master 'Morning Platform' has been waiting for you here for a long time."

Chu Xunyu followed the Taoist boy out of the back door of the hall and headed west along the mountain path. The path was winding and I don’t know how long I had walked. Originally, when everyone on the top of the mountain was discussing the law and debating Taoism, it was getting late. Now Chu Xunyu probably had the sunset set when he followed the Taoist boy to his destination.

Sure enough, when the two walked to dusk, they saw a small pool in the distance, with a small building beside the pool. At this time, the Taoist boy said, "Please go in by yourself. The mountain gate stipulates that we should not enter at will."

Chu Xunyu nodded, then dressed and walked towards the pool. When he walked closer, he saw a stone tablet beside the pool. Three big words "Shangshan Pond" were written on it. Looking at the water in the pool, it was too late at this time, and the water in the pool was wafting, reflecting the scenery everywhere. The flowers, plants and trees beside the pool could already see a few fireflies shining with their naked eyes. Everything seemed so quiet and deep. At this time, the curtain of the small building in the pool was lifted, and Chu Xunyu saw a beautiful woman sitting in the small building with her head tied up and wearing a veil, feeling dignified and elegant. Chu Xunyu looked at her and couldn't see her face and cultivation clearly.

At this time, the woman said, "Is it you?" But unexpectedly, the young woman's voice seemed very old, as if she was an old man.

At this time, Chu Xunyu nodded and replied: "Is it my senior who called me?"

The woman nodded, stretched out her hands, slowly stood up at the base of the surrounding wall, and then touched the door frame of Xiaozhu and walked out carefully step by step. Such a move made Chu Xunyu a little puzzled. At this time, the woman smiled embarrassedly, as if she knew what Chu Xunyu was thinking, and said directly: "Mother-in-law, I am born blind."

Chu Xunyu was slightly stunned, then immediately stepped forward to support her and said, "Sorry, I don't know this." The woman was supported by Chu Xunyu, walked to the pool, sat on the rocks by the pool, waved her hand and said, "It's okay, this is not a problem, I'm used to it."

Chu Xunyu stood by the pond, looked at Chishui, and said, "I dare to ask for the name of senior."

At this time, the woman stretched out her left hand, leaned down gently to ripple a wave of water in the pool, and raised a thread of silk from the mountain wind with her right hand, and said in an old voice: "As forgot the name, my mother-in-law has forgotten it, but everyone calls me 'star language'."
