Chapter 932 Lectures on Scripture

While Ling'er was making a wish, Luo Feng was sitting on the lecture platform in front of the Mahavira Hall of Maha Temple. The audience was crowded with Kaifeng common believers and monks from all over the world.

This day is the day when the Maha Temple holds the Jialan Dharma Conference and opens the forum to preach the scriptures.

Luo Feng studied the scriptures at Maha Temple for a year, and he was considered to be familiar with the scriptures and could recite them by heart.

After the process of studying Buddhist scriptures with concentration was completed, he was about to walk from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, so he went up to the lecture platform and opened the forum to preach the Dharma in the manner of a eminent monk.

To say how sincere he is in cultivating Buddhism, it’s really just that. He chose the path of cultivating Buddhism only when he couldn’t get through the path of cultivating immortals. If he still couldn’t get there, he might just fall into the devil’s path. To put it mildly, he was an opportunist. , to put it mildly, he is an evil beast.

Some people may want to ask, how could Luo Feng, a scoundrel with such a strong ego, dare to shamelessly want to cultivate the Arahantship? Can this be accomplished?

Luo Feng has always been self-aware and has a lot of confidence in his heart, so how can he do such stupid things as seeking fish from a tree? He has his own reasons for doing so.

It is recorded in the seventh volume of the Mahaparinirvana Sutra: "The Buddha told Kassapa: 'Seven hundred years after I enter Parinirvana, the demon king Boxun will gradually destroy my dharma, just like a hunter wearing the clothes of a mage. The same is true for the demon king Boxun. In this way, those who pretend to be monks, nuns, Upasakas, and Upasikas can also transform into Sotapanna bodies, until they transform into the bodies of Arhats and Buddhas. The devil uses this appearance with leaks to pretend to be without leaks. My body is broken and I am rectifying the Dharma.'"

It is now 1103 AD. Buddha passed away between 480 and 390 BC, which means that after 310 AD at the latest, Bo Xun’s disciples can sneak into Buddhism and pretend to have leak-free bodies. He even transformed into an Arhat.

Therefore, Luo Feng had the courage to practice in the Maha Temple in an attempt to get into the ranks of Buddhist senior professional titles.

Mahayana Buddhism does not talk about the age of the end of the Dharma. Luo Feng did not dare to expect to achieve the status of Bodhisattva. The physical retribution of the evildoer turning into a Buddha is too great, and it may lead to the retribution of the real Buddha in this world. The people of Xiaoleiyin Temple on Xitian Road The demon is a lesson learned from the past.

As the saying goes, contentment is always the norm, and he must have a plan even if he wants to die. He still has a certain degree of self-confidence in becoming an Arahant.

The audience was crowded with believers, as well as the eminent monks from other monasteries who came here for their fame. Luo Feng's debut as an eminent monk was crucial. If he didn't gain some fame, he would not be able to maintain his moral high ground in the future.

Luo Feng is proficient in reading Buddhist scriptures, but propagating Dharma and chanting scriptures are two different concepts. If you explain Buddhist scriptures thoroughly, both eminent monks who specialize in Buddhist scriptures and believers with low cultural levels can understand and feel convinced. Just fine.

It is a bit difficult to expect Luo Feng to understand the Buddhist scriptures by himself and then teach them to believers. Even though Luo Feng has great wisdom in opening the Alaya consciousness, he has only studied the Buddhist scriptures for less than a year and his faith is not pure. How is this possible? Make a masterful argument.

Of course, Luo Feng also has his own method, which is to plagiarize shamelessly.

The current era is the third year of Yuanfu in the Northern Song Dynasty, which is 1103 AD. Since then, in the Southern Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and even modern times, there have been records of eminent monks giving lectures. Luo Feng’s investigator communicator data Curry can refer to it at any time, just pick out the appropriate ones and paraphrase them.

Anyway, what was plagiarized was the French record of the teachings of later generations of eminent monks. Those eminent monks were not born in this era, so the monks and believers in the audience naturally could not tell that Luo Feng had copied it.

In the morning, Luo Feng sat on the stage and recited in a loud voice the French records of the teachings of later eminent monks on the light screen of the communicator. This plagiarism highlighted his level of proficiency. Normally not. A few random verses are thought-provoking, and a few verses of poetry are full of Zen.

At first, the monks of Maha Temple were quite dissatisfied with the sudden appearance of a lecherous young master, but now they saw that the young master, who had only been practicing for one year, was so thorough in Buddhist teachings, and spoke so eloquently, with a brilliant tongue, and witty remarks. Lianzhu, the level of preaching is as high as several floors.

The monks couldn't help but feel ashamed. They secretly thought that Zen Master Qianye had a unique insight and could immediately see the extraordinaryness of the lustful uncle. They were really far behind in their realms. They couldn't recognize true Bodhi with the naked eye!

Zen Master Qianye is even more convinced that Luo Feng must be the reincarnation of a great virtue with Suhui. Otherwise, no matter how smart a person is, he would not be able to say so many wonderful conclusions after reading Buddhist scriptures for a year, even if he is so proficient. The eminent monks who read the classics were all enlightened.

In the morning, all the sermons were serious. In the afternoon, Luo Feng began to be unserious. After all, in addition to the invited eminent monks from major monasteries, there were also the common people of Kaifeng Prefecture who attended the Dharma Conference. They only lectured on scriptures and preached doctrines. They are happy to hear it, but the common people may not understand it.

Luo Feng wants to establish prestige in the professional field, but also takes into account his reputation among the people. He must not only take the upper-level route, but also make a name for himself among the people.

When the altar opened in the afternoon, Luo Feng smiled and said to the people watching the ceremony: "Everyone, I think everyone found the lecture in the morning boring. In the afternoon I will talk about some Buddhist scriptures that are not allowed to be said in the temple."

The monks who were still expecting Luo Feng to talk about some wonderful Buddhist principles in the afternoon were stunned when they heard this. The common people in the audience became interested, and the bold ones started making noises, clamoring for Luo Feng to talk about the "forbidden" Buddhist scriptures. , some people even made random guesses, saying that this lecherous Zen master is trying to teach how to participate in "Happy Zen"?

It immediately attracted the people's attention.

Even if Luo Feng really understood the Zen of Joy, he would not talk nonsense at the Dharma gathering. He picked up the gavel and hit the wooden fish hard, and said loudly: "Abiding by the law makes you depressed in the morning, and a strong beam sings for joy every night. Harm others and benefit yourself, ride a mule, and be upright and fair. I was hungry. I was blind while building bridges and repairing roads. There were many murders and arson. I went to the West and asked my Buddha, and the Buddha said: I can't do anything either!"

As soon as the words came out, the monks in the audience were in an uproar. If Luo Feng hadn't delivered a sermon with a very high standard in the morning, someone would have rushed to the stage and kicked him off.

Different from the reaction of the monks, the common people burst out laughing. The laughter gradually subsided but the audience became quiet. These few lines of limerick actually contained some fallacies, which made people start to think after laughing.

"People say that eminent monks have the power of clairvoyance and can see forward and backward for five hundred years."

Luo Feng said in a tone: "The poor monk will use his clairvoyance today to talk about a strange man and eminent monk who will appear in the next hundred years. He said that in those hundred years there was an old Li family in Yongning Village, Backstage Mountain. The son’s name is Li Xiuyuan…” (Jigong was born in 1148)

How could ordinary people remember Luo Feng's name just by lecturing on scriptures? So he talked about the storytelling "Ji Gong Zhuan", which was the stand-up comedy version of Deyun Society, and it contained some people from the Song Dynasty. Understandable jokes, after the performance, the people in the audience were mesmerized, and were deeply attracted by the story of the seemingly crazy Jigong Living Buddha who helped the poor, eliminated violence and made peace.

As for whether the commentary "Ji Gong Zhuan" is considered a sermon, in fact it can be. There are also eminent monks who will tell the story of karma and retribution such as "The Record of Cause and Effect" to warn the world.

Lectures do not have to be formal, as long as they can promote Dharma and good deeds to believers, it is a meritorious event.
