Cultivation Of Coders

Chapter 398 On Buddhism and the First Change [Subscription]

"Master, I heard you say that the main topic of this association is: Buddha, virtue, goodness, and nature, and I also listened to the master's opening tune. Master, do you think that the Buddha can save all living beings from the Sea of ​​Bitterness and save the world from water and fire?" Zhang Deming looked at it. Huixin asked with a smile.

"My Buddha set up the Nine Precepts and vowed to abide by the "clear rules and precepts" from generation to generation. Those who become Buddhas will surely gain merits and virtues. Don't Master Zhang think that Buddhas can't do it?"

Huixin replied a little more seriously. Talking about Buddhism is a must-discussed program in the world's walking conferences, but it is rare for someone like Zhang Deming to be initiated by a non-Buddhist Gate disciple.

"That's it. Master, what is a Buddha?" Zhang Deming said with a smile. Huixin froze, but Zhang Deming did not stop and continued: "What is a devil?"

When the two questions came out, many people changed their expressions, but most of them were gloating. Only Huineng's expression changed drastically.

"Not good!" Huineng said in surprise.

The two Vajras beside him also frowned, and said: "Don't worry, if Huixin can take the position of Xuande Temple in the contemporary world, he must be the leader in Buddhist theory."

But Hui Neng shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about this, what I'm worried about is the original intention of this debate."

King Kong next to him asked, "What do you mean?"

"On Buddhism, winning is a good thing, but losing may shake his Buddha's mind. That's all. It's good to get rid of a competitor.

But I have seen the behavior of the donor in this picture before. He likes to build plank roads openly and secretly to Chencang. I am afraid that if he asks about Buddha, he is actually fighting against Buddha and pointing at my Buddhist Gate orthodoxy! Huineng said.

"No way, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has been raging to this day, Fighting Buddha?" Another King Kong said.

Huineng didn't reply, he frowned and listened carefully.

······

Huixin below was stunned by Zhang Deming's philosophical question. He obviously didn't expect Zhang Deming to ask such a question. He paused, put his hands together and said solemnly:

"Amitabha, the donor, observes the clear rules and precepts, and becomes a Buddha when the Buddha's heart is always there. If you destroy human relations, commit evil consequences, and add karma to your body, you will become a demon!"

Zhang Deming heard the words and nodded: "Master Huixin, do all the disciples of Buddhist Gate abide by the 'clear rules and precepts'? I mean, do all the masters who have not made their vows also abide by it?"

Huixin paused for a moment and replied: "The 'nine precepts' are necessary for the wish technique. As a disciple of the Buddha, the Buddha's mind is always there. Doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is to keep the precepts. Why do donors need to stick to formalities?"

‘Hey, your skills are pretty good. After the wine and meat passed through your intestines, all the concepts left in the Buddha’s mind were fully understood! It can be used effectively! '

Zhang Deming nodded and said with a smile: "I understand. What does Master mean to say that a person with a Buddha mind can become a Buddha by doing good deeds and accumulating virtue?"

Huixin looked at Zhang Deming and didn't reply.

"Then I would like to ask the master to help me understand something." Seeing this, Zhang Deming paused and continued: "I once met two people, one did good deeds all day long and was loved by the village; the other did all evil and was hated by others.

But one day, when a good person does something evil, people suddenly become disgusted with it, even beyond the level of evil, and regard it as a devil.

But the evildoer happened to do one good deed and was regarded as the reincarnation of the Buddha. Just as your Buddha said, put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately.

I want to ask the master to help me understand and understand. Is this the reason for this, this Buddha or this demon? "

Huixin froze on the spot, speechless for a while, and even turned pale.

‘Young man, you can trick me and make you proud! ’ Seeing the change in Huixin’s expression, Zhang Deming’s inner thoughts flashed across his mind.

This case involves the fundamentals of Buddhism, the core concept of putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately. If you really doubt this, you are not far away from returning to secular life.

The sky was silent for a moment, and another figure suddenly appeared next to Zhang Deming. The huge shadow of Monk Huineng bowed to Zhang Deming and said, "I have met the donor Zhang!"

"Why did Master Huineng also teach me?" Zhang Deming asked in surprise.

After all, Huineng and Huixin are now in a competitive relationship. Zhang Deming really didn't expect to help.

"I don't take the advice seriously. It's just that Donor Zhang understands my Buddhist thoughts so much that it's so fundamental that I have to intervene!" Hui Neng replied calmly.

Zhang Deming raised his eyebrows and said: "Master Huineng said something serious, it's just about Buddhism!"

Huineng looked at Zhang Deming and did not continue to argue. Instead, he said: "What the donor Zhang asked just now, little monk can answer you.

My Buddha did say that you should put down your butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately. I, Buddhist Gate, also abide by this concept. What donor Zhang asked just now, the young monk clearly told the donor that the evil one is the Buddha and the good one is the devil. "

Zhang Deming looked at Huineng and gave his final summary, saying: "Oh, you have been doing good all your life, but you will be unforgivable if you do one evil thing by chance? You will be a demon for a thousand lives, but you will become a Buddha if you do one good thing suddenly?

Master Huineng, are you sure that you, the Buddha, can survive this rolling world of mortals and save the common people at dawn from being reborn in the Sea of ​​Bitterness, instead of ending up like a group of demons dancing around, shouting with skin hanging on their skin, and a heart of copper skin and coal?

Master, please be careful what you say, you and Buddha are watching! Even if one of you is a world leader and the other is an eminent monk of Leiyin Temple, you cannot undermine the Buddhist Taoism in this way.

This is related to the foundation of Buddhism. Although Pindao is not a disciple of Buddhist Gate, but... Buddhism and Taoism are a family, Pindao has to speak for Buddhist Gate! "

When Zhang Deming said these words, the expressions of the monks in Xuande Temple and Leiyin Temple all changed. Everyone in Leiyin Temple also understood why Huineng suddenly ran out to help Huixin.

Because this is not discussing the concept of wisdom mind itself at all, but discussing the essence of Buddhism and Taoism. If it is really going to be established, then is their Lingshan a Buddhist Gate or a magic kiln?

This is going to destroy the foundation of Buddhist Gate. Zhang Deming also took the moral high ground and used their common weapons of Buddhism and Taoism! This person...

Huineng also paused, then his face became indifferent and he looked like he was suffering. The experience in the dungeon made him have cultivated his character enough. He saluted Zhang Deming and said:

"Donor Zhang is here! To do good without the intention is to be a hypocrite, and you will never live through a thousand lifetimes. If you have the intention to do evil, you will become a devil. But if you have the intention to do good, put down the butcher's knife, you can put aside the past and become a Buddha.

This is my Buddha’s compassion, this is my Buddha’s way to save all sentient beings, this is the Buddha’s principles and Buddha’s nature! Amitabha! "

As he spoke, Huineng's body was filled with a faint golden light, his Zen spirit was fully displayed. He saluted Zhang Deming with his hands clasped together, and his figure disappeared directly, no longer waiting to continue arguing with Zhang Deming.

Because he is not here to argue, but just to help. Some of the lost Huixin woke up because of this. They also clasped their hands and said to Zhang Deming: "Amitabha, I understand, young monk, I must remember the church today of Donor Zhang and never forget the Buddhist principles!"

Zhang Deming looked at Huineng who had disappeared, looked up in the direction of Leiyin Temple, and suddenly felt that his previous proposal to keep Huineng and let them eat dog was a wrong decision?

No, he suddenly got excited and struck in the wrong direction. He shouldn't have attacked the foundation of Buddhism and Taoism. This was forcing Leiyin Temple and Xuande Temple to unite the front.

"You're welcome, Master, as long as you don't say anything about your Buddha's compassion, you can save all sentient beings in this Sea of ​​Bitterness!" Zhang Deming replied with a smile as his thoughts flashed.

"Young monk, I will definitely keep this in mind!" Hui Xin said piously.

"Then master, please continue to discuss virtues. This Buddha...it's better for master to discuss less. The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is already weird enough!" After saying this, Zhang Deming's illusory figure slowly disappeared into the sky. .

······

"The fight was good, it was really fun! It's a pity that it was so close. It would have been great to be able to fight back to secular life and walk around the world. I really want to see the face of Buddhist Gate when I was beaten back to secular life!"

As soon as Zhang Deming came back to his senses, Gu Liancai beside him said with rare excitement. It could be seen that he was really excited, so much so that his face turned a little rosy.

"Brother, don't be so excited, the conference is still open! It's not good to be seen!" Zhang Deming was stunned, looked at the excited Gu Liancai and said jokingly.

"He has been criticized by Buddhist Gate too many times. He finally won the battle once in the past few times. As a result, he directly enlightened and became a legitimate disciple of Buddhism.

With such a 'brilliant' victory, how can we not be excited when we see this scene now? "Gan Zili looked at Gu Liancai and said with a smile.

"Senior Brother Gan, that's enough. You keep bringing this up every time. It's endless, right? It's as if I deliberately made people realize the truth!" The happy Gu Liancai's face froze, and then he said with a dark face.

"Okay, okay, let it be my fault!" Gan Zili admitted his mistake with a smile on his face, which made the angry Gu Lian feel aggrieved for a while.

Zhang Deming looked at the two of them speechlessly, and simply stopped interrupting. Instead, he looked at Yue Mengsheng and said, "Senior Brother Yue, what do you think about this matter?"

"What?" Yue Mengsheng questioned.

"Senior brother, why do you ask questions knowingly?" Zhang Deming looked at Hui Xin below.

Yue Mengsheng paused for a moment, looked at Zhang Deming, and said, "Great Meng is about to rise, and the world of practice is in turmoil. It must be common for Buddhist Gate to take action. With the temperament of Buddhist Gate, it is more normal to start with a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.

Today, this is just a small test for Buddhist Gate to take advantage of. Buddhist Gate’s eastward journey is inevitable and cannot be stopped.

After all, at this juncture, since outsiders are invited to enter the arena, the inside of Hongmeng must be unanimous to the outside world. Both Yuling and Hongmeng should acquiesce to these trivial matters made by the people below.

Today Huixin dared to argue openly about Buddhism and Taoism at the conference. This is the best example and the most intuitive manifestation.

And I think it would be better to let this Buddhism and Taoism be more harmonious. Over the years, Buddhist Gate has played with this Buddhist and Taoist family. It is really a bit embarrassing. "

Zhang Deming heard this and looked at Yue Mengsheng. Among the three elders of Yuling Peak, Yue Mengsheng looked at him as the most salty person and didn't care about anything. But he is the one among the three who lives the clearest and most understanding, and is also the one who thinks the most.

······

The World Walking Exchange Meeting is in progress, and the outer sect Xiaoqingshan is as usual. In the past, it was supposed to be a grand gathering for outer sect disciples and inner sect low-level disciples.

Due to the union in this world, this guild has no relationship with most of the outer sect disciples. The conference was in full swing, and the outer gate was operating as usual. Compared with the period when the exchange meeting between the two worlds was held, there were not many changes.

In Xiaoqingshan, the six of Lu Yongsheng completed the handover as usual and left the logistics handover area.

The six people who walked forward today were all a little serious. Lu Yongsheng and the others came to the formation control room area of ​​​​Xiao Qingshan and stopped far away. Looking at the main control room area from a distance, Lu Yongsheng asked: "Has everything been arranged?"

Lu Feng nodded and said: "It has been arranged, there is no abnormal feedback!"

Hearing this, Lu Yongsheng said, "Then let's do it!"

While speaking, he flipped his hands and took out a special fire pocket, which was different from the fire pockets carried by ordinary Martial Artists. The fire pockets carried by Martial Artists before were like ordinary things.

The fire fold in Lu Yongsheng's hand was full of metallic luster, and there were complex patterns flowing on it. At first glance, it was not a simple Law Weapon.

Following Lu Yongsheng's movements, the five people beside him also turned over their hands and took out a similar fire discount.

At this time, a ghost-like old man suddenly appeared on Lu Yongsheng's back. The old man was stooped and ugly, like an ape. The other man also held an illusory fire folder in his hand.

Lu Yongsheng looked back at the old man, and whispered: "Uncle Fu, just watch, let's avenge your revenge together! Since there is no competition in the world, we can't be pure, we will be like demons and demons, and turn him upside down!"

Lu Feng looked at the whispering Lu Yongsheng, the child he had watched grow up, also watched him change from pure and kind as a blank sheet of paper to this, and he didn't know what he went through when he left home!

He paused, and said: "Let's do it, young master, if it's too late, there may be accidents! The things provided by the officials are already outdated. If there are some accidents, things will be difficult!"

Lu Yongsheng nodded and said, "Fix the formation!"

Following his words, six people and one soul connected together in a strange formation. Unlike other Martial Artists, their center this time was not a human, but the ape-like old ghost.

As they hooked up, the fire folders in the hands of the seven of them turned into a special black mist, and Qu Wenbai's unique soul art aura permeated the seven of them.

As Huo Zhezi turned into black mist and merged into the bodies of the six people and one soul, the bodies of the six people all became illusory, and then merged into the body of the old man-ape.

The old man's illusory body solidified a bit, and his thin figure began to grow stronger. As it expanded, it became as dark as ink, and at the same time it was very weird.

The hands are like ghost claws, the waist is hunched, and the chest is as strong as an orangutan, but the back is a little stooped, and the face has a green face with an ape face between the fangs.

After his transformation was completed, he quietly floated towards the main control room. There was no sound or breath fluctuation during the whole process, and it was extremely quiet.

······

The Sky Conference continued. After Zhang Deming left, Huixin began to debate morality. The whole thing felt like a debate competition, eh, the fairy tale version!

Originally, Buddhist Debate was a reserved program of the Buddhist Gate World Travel Conference, and it should be the most rewarding part for the wise mind. However, because he made a mistake and was suddenly cross-talked by Zhang Deming, he did not dare to talk about Buddhism rashly.

Therefore, the conference was carried out in a leisurely manner, with nothing outstanding. In addition, it was also a debate, so many people were not interested, and some even regretted staying to participate in this meeting.

······

"Wandering around the world of mortals, doing good deeds and doing good deeds, was originally the path of cultivation. In ancient times, after every monk reached a certain level of cultivation, he needed to train his mind in the world of mortals, accumulate virtue and do good deeds, which is called 'Soul Formation'.

But with the changes in Taoism and art over the years, this path slowly seems to have become exclusive to me, Buddhist Gate, and there are fewer and fewer people who stick to their true intentions..."

"I am very unhappy with this sanctimonious argument!" Gu Liancai said after listening to Huixin's argument below.

Zhang Deming rarely had the same point of view as Gu Liancai. He was disgusted by Huixin's attitude of occupying the moral high ground.

‘What does it mean that only the Buddhist Gate abides by its heart? Isn't it right that you don't need to go to the world of mortals to train your mind? So are thousands of cultivators of the primordial technique stupid? If the road is not moving forward, why not choose to retreat? '

Zhang Deming looked at Gu Liancai and saw that the other person did not act immediately. He was probably thinking about how to retaliate, or he didn't know how to retaliate at the moment.

Zhang Deming no longer hesitated. He was dismissed for the first time in a round of the conference and was dismissed for the second time. It can be seen that the current discussion really made him a little disgusted.

Zhang Deming stretched out his hand and pressed it on the light screen. The consequences of this argument were not as clear as the previous argument, and it was even more confusing.

I saw Zhang Deming stretched out his hand and pressed it on the light screen, and the golden light on the light screen flickered slightly. I don’t know how the golden lotus of merit was determined. Zhang Deming was once again determined to be a person with a predestined relationship with the Buddha.

His illusory and gigantic flowing figure once again appeared on the central floating island, with long hair flying and a blue shirt floating in the air, showing the atmosphere of an immortal.

Seeing Zhang Deming appear again, many people who were wandering around suddenly became energetic and instantly became interested.

Zhang Deming looked at Huixin and saluted, "Hello, Master Huixin!"

"Donor Zhang is so polite. I wonder if Donor Zhang has any advice?" Hui Xin replied seriously, her words sincere and focused. She probably wanted to move back into the same game.

"Don't take advice seriously. Aren't we all just arguing and gossiping?" Zhang Deming smiled, looked at Huixin and said:

"Master Huixin talks about virtue and goodness, and emphasizes doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. I am very puzzled by Pindao. I wonder if Master can help Pindao solve his doubts?"

Huixin looked at Zhang Deming and said, "Donor Zhang, please tell me. If the young monk knows, he will do his best!"

‘Haha, you know how to leave some room, why don’t you keep your tone? '

Zhang Deming smiled and asked: "Master, how do you do good deeds? What is accumulation of virtue? Do you need to have merit from heaven and earth to be considered a good deed and have virtuous rewards?"

Huixin was stunned by this seemingly simple question. After thinking about it for a moment, she realized that there seemed to be no trap in it before she replied:

"Donor Zhang, what you are talking about is great kindness. It is certainly good to have meritorious deeds, but such great kindness is not common.

It is difficult for ordinary monks like us to do this, and it is difficult for heaven and earth to respond. But this does not mean that you should not do good deeds and accumulate virtue. As long as you stick to your original intention, do not create karmic consequences, do not damage the world, and benefit all people, you will do good deeds and accumulate virtue. Otherwise, it is evil. "

Hearing this, Zhang Deming nodded suddenly and said, "Oh, I understand. To sum up, under your own set of moral standards, doing good deeds counts as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, right?"

Huixin frowned slightly. As a master who often debates, when he got serious, he instantly noticed Zhang Deming's wording. He corrected: "It's not my own set of standards, but only one set of standards, and it will not change because of someone." And change.”
