Forty-six-six debating
The next morning, Qian Yunsheng took the initiative to come to the Sutra Pavilion to visit the Xuanben.
When Xuan Ben saw that it was Qian Yunsheng coming in, he smiled and comforted: "Junior Brother Faru, don't be depressed. Since ancient times, life experiences have always been more ups and downs, and fewer smooth sailings."
"All of these things are in secret, and the junior brother must carefully understand them."
Qian Yunsheng said respectfully:
"The master reads a lot of books and is knowledgeable, and has always been admired by the monk. Now that he can sit down at the master, the monk can follow the master to understand carefully and practice diligently, it can be regarded as fulfilling the monk's wish."
Xuan Ben took Qian Yunsheng to familiarize himself with the things in the Sutra Pavilion, and then Amitabha said, "Actually, my junior brother came here this time and happened to be able to help my senior brother a big favor."
"My junior brother should know that in another half a year, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Conference will be held, right?"
Qian Yunsheng hurriedly said, "How could the little monk not know about this prosperous era? The little monk still wants to use this Ten Thousand Buddha Conference to listen carefully to the monk's spread of the Dharma!"
Xuan Ben also believed that Qian Yunsheng had never heard of it, so he nodded and said, "I, Leiyin Temple, naturally, have to prepare for this grand event."
"Is this the ten major sects including the ancestral temple of Pure Land Sect, the ancestral temple of Huayan Sect, the ancestral temple of Tantric Buddhism, the Faxiang School, the Vinaya School, and the Tiantai School will all send people to participate."
"For my Sutra Pavilion, the most important thing about this grand event is the debate on the Ten Thousand Buddhas Conference. At that time, the ten major sects gather together and there will be a grand debate on the scriptures. At that time, all the newcomers will take the stage to discuss the Dharma."
"This is also the reason why I strongly advocate recruiting my junior brother. My junior brother is wise and wise, smart and smart, quick-witted, and extremely intelligent, and is a rare talent in Leiyin Temple."
Qian Yunsheng then suddenly realized that even if Master Xuan Ji had made a suggestion, why was he transferred to the Sutra Pavilion so easily, and immediately said in panic: "Master is so famous, how dare Faru be the one?"
Xuan Ben smiled and shook his head and said, "We are not trying to argue for the victory or defeat. If you don't have to be nervous about the law, our primary purpose is to correct the Buddhist words. If we can understand the same and inspire it, it would be even better."
"Your junior brother, you happen to be the best of your senior brother in this regard. When you discuss with your brother, you often have amazing words. This is exactly the most important quality of the debate."
"You must know that people who practice cultivation are most taboo to stick to the rules and follow the rules. As the saying goes, the number of sands in the Ganges River, one leaf, one Bodhi, one sand, one world. The success of others does not mean that we can succeed as we do, but we still have to find a suitable path for our practice."
"Thus, the Buddha passed down one collection of the Sutra, one collection of the Dharma, and one collection of the Treatise, a total of thirty-five volumes, totaling 15,144 volumes. Only when we choose and understand it can we diligently advance to the supreme path."
"So, senior brother thinks it is most appropriate for junior brother to participate in this matter."
Qian Yunsheng had the intention to enter the Sutra Pavilion, and he didn't care much about the success or failure of the Sutra. Since Xuanben had faith in him, he also asked, "Why don't know what to do if you don't know the Dharma? Please tell me!"
Seeing Qian Yunsheng agreeing, Xuan Ben smiled and said, "In fact, it is easy to say this matter, it is difficult to say it, and it is difficult to say it. Junior brother, let's take a look at the topic of this debate."
After saying that, he took out a jade slip and patted it on his forehead, recorded a piece of information, and handed it to Qian Yunsheng.
Qian Yunsheng took the jade slip, took a slap on his forehead, and used his spiritual sense to illuminate it, and found that there were several questions prepared for the debate.
Among them: "Who should my disciples take as their teacher after I become Nirvana?"
"There are so many words throughout the ages, which words can best represent Buddha?"
"What is a ghost, why is a Buddha? How should we recognize ghosts? How should we argue about Buddha..."
Qian Yunsheng looked at it one by one and found that there were hundreds of related topics. It seemed that he fully considered the facts of various major sects and schools, and was determined to be unbiased.
But on the other hand, with so many ranges, no wonder even a big temple like Leiyin Temple has to be prepared in advance.
After reading the information, Qian Yunsheng pointed to the scroll and asked: "Just looking at so many debate topics, you know that this is indeed a thriving meeting. No wonder he can live up to the name of "Ten Thousand Buddhas"."
"I just don't know, should the little monk choose several of his questions to study them or to explore them all?"
Xuan Ben knew that Qian Yunsheng would have misled his meaning, and smiled and shook his head, "Who participated in this debate? It was decided after the Blood Pool Battle."
"I'm calling my junior brother because I hope you will come up with your own research and put forward your unique insights and help us make a supplement."
Qian Yunsheng felt a little relieved when he heard that he was not letting him go on stage to debate. However, he was still a little confused about Xuanben's words, so he continued to put his hands together and waited for Xuanben to explain.
Sure enough, Xuanben immediately said: "We will be in the Sutra Pavilion for about seven days, and there will be a debate on the sutras."
"At that time, I will simulate the debate and ask my own questions to the monks attending the conference in turn. At that time, the junior brother doesn't have to hold back. It's naturally the angle. The more tricky the problem, the better."
"We want to use this method to make the monks attending the conference prepare for these difficult issues in advance. In this way, we will naturally be able to understand the conference more clearly."
"It seems that I am a coach!" Qian Yunsheng basically understood his role and nodded slightly.
Xuan Ben saw that Qian Yunsheng had some understanding and continued to smile and said:
"And my junior brother once traveled around, and naturally he was different from the monks who had been in the temple for many years. He had his own different views, but he might be able to ask different questions."
"This is also what I value most about my junior brother. I hope that my junior brother will not hide his personal information. It is best to ask me so that I can be speechless!"
Qian Yunsheng thought to himself: "Faced with a bunch of old scholars, he had to ask them all by himself. This is probably not very difficult!"
However, for him, whether he can ask the questions that all the old scholars have been asked is not the key to the present, but the key to the present is to steal the scriptures.
So, he asked his most concerned question after Amitabha Buddha's humility:
"This kind of debate requires a deep Buddha nature. The little monk probably has to calm down and do his homework seriously."
"I just don't know, can the little monks borrow all the scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion?"
Xuanben did not doubt it, and said with a smile: "This is natural, and you can read all kinds of scriptures."
"But the scriptures in the pavilion are vast. If you have any questions about me, you can come to find me. I will give you some advice."
Xuan Ben's answer was so refreshing that he didn't even mention the taboos of reading, but instead made Qian Yunsheng mutter. He quietly said to Wen Xinzhu:
"Is this a bit too refreshing to agree? How can Leiyin Temple be so unprepared for such a relaxed way of being so unpredictable?"
"To be honest, if this is the case, I'm afraid someone would have been taken to the nest long ago?"
Wen Xinzhu also quietly transmitted a voice:
"Not to mention you, even I don't believe it. If it were so easy, we wouldn't have been tempted by this Xuanben for so long."
"It's a pity that since the other party didn't mention it at all, we can't ask anymore, otherwise we'll be hiding out!"
Qian Yunsheng nodded in his heart, knowing that it is not appropriate to ask more questions now, and pondered: "What kind of means are hidden in this Sutra Pavilion? Since the other party doesn't say it, then we might as well pretend that we don't know and try everything."
"If any taboo is really triggered, we can also recommend that we be ignorant."
Wen Xinzhu turned out to be the same as Qian Yunsheng, thinking that he would naturally be able to figure out everything in the Sutra Pavilion. Unexpectedly, after he actually came in, he was still confused.
However, looking at the current situation, I am afraid I can only use Qian Yunsheng's method to explore the way. Therefore, I said helplessly:
"Since that's the case, we can only try it like this first!"
