Monk Huikong opened his mouth and came.
"Mahayana Buddhism focuses on the three disciplines of precepts, concentration, wisdom, and the Eightfold Path."
"Practice Mahayana Buddhism, practice the path of liberation, and gain liberation in this life."
"When you become an Arahant, you will be completely liberated in this life and will no longer be reincarnated."
These three sentences are indeed the principles of practice in Buddhism.
This is what Huikong and other Buddhists have always believed to be Mahayana Buddhism, and it is also the supreme Buddhism.
But after Ye Qingyun heard this.
But he shook his head in disappointment.
"Why is the donor shaking his head?"
Huikong is puzzled.
"What you are talking about is only Hinayana Buddhism."
"Impossible, this is the Mahayana Dharma of our Buddhism, which has been preached for thousands of years and has always been like this!"
Huikong didn't agree with Ye Qingyun's words at all.
After all, he was born in Buddhism and has been exposed to this set of Buddhist teachings since he was a child.
In his eyes, this is Mahayana Buddhism.
Ye Qingyun sighed and looked at Huikong with sympathetic eyes.
"It's a pity that you have chanted Buddha's name since you were a child, but you don't know what Mahayana Buddhism is."
Huikong frowned.
"The donor keeps saying that this is not Mahayana Buddhism. How dare I ask the donor, what do you think of Mahayana Buddhism?"
This is unconvincing.
This is what Ye Qingyun wants.
Otherwise, what he will say later will not have such a good effect.
"Huikong, listen carefully."
Ye Qingyun cleared his throat.
"The so-called Mahayana Buddhism, in addition to the three studies and the Eightfold Path you mentioned before, we also need to practice the six perfections and the four-inclusive bodhisattva behavior."
"Practitioners of the Bodhisattva path give up the opportunity to listen to the Dharma and realize Arhat status, and vow to become a Bodhisattva, and eventually become a future Buddha to teach others to become Arhats, or be reincarnated as a disciple of a future Buddha."
"But those who practice the path of liberation just want to realize Arhat status as soon as possible while the Dharma is still there, and be completely liberated in this life and no longer reincarnate."
"Those who only practice the Five Precepts and Ten Good Deeds in the Way of Humanity and Heaven are still ordinary people. Because they only care about themselves practicing Buddhism to be liberated and do not turn around to save other sentient beings, they are called Hinayana Buddhism."
"The Bodhisattva seeks the supreme Buddha's way to free himself from life and death, and he transforms countless sentient beings to escape from the suffering of life and death. This can be called Mahayana Buddhism!"
Having said this, Ye Qingyun paused.
"Huikong, do you understand?"
This shout is like the roar of Buddhist Vajra.
Huikong suddenly froze on the spot, in a daze.
Ye Qingyun's words caused Huikong's belief in Buddhism, which he had cultivated since childhood, to collapse instantly.
But it was still difficult for Huikong to accept it.
I have practiced Buddhism for so many years, and I think it is Mahayana Buddhism.
But I didn’t expect that it was just Hinayana Buddhism.
"How can this be"
Huikong shook his head repeatedly. His bright eyes before had lost all their brilliance now.
Ye Qingyun looked cold and his eyes were full of disappointment.
"All Buddhist schools in your Western Region believe that Hinayana Buddhism is the entirety of Buddhism, but no one knows about the existence of Mahayana Buddhism."
"It's so ridiculous, how dare you call yourself a Buddhist holy land?"
Huikong became even more depressed, with a look of shame on his face.
"Even if I were really the holy son of Buddhism, I would not go to a place like your Western Buddhism."
Speaking of this, Ye Qingyun pointed at his feet.
Huikong was at a loss and confused.
"Buddha is in heaven, on earth, in people's hearts, and in all things."
"Buddha is everywhere!"
"As long as you have Buddha in your heart, why should you be particular about whether you should practice in a temple or not?"
These words deeply shocked Huikong's soul.
Young Huikong, deceived by the cunning and cunning Ye Qingyun, completely doubted his own life.
"Buddha, is he everywhere?"
Huikong muttered these words, as if he had a new understanding.
Suddenly.
Huikong made a sound and knelt in front of Ye Qingyun.
This shocked Ye Qingyun.
What to do?
Another fight?
But Huikong kowtowed to Ye Qingyun repeatedly.
His face was full of regret and piety.
"Holy Son, the young monk finally heard the true Dharma."
Huikong had tears in his eyes.
"When I saw the Holy Son today, I realized that the monk's years of practice were all in vain."
"The young monk is willing to follow the Holy Son, practice Mahayana Buddhism from now on, and take it as his own duty to save the world. I pray that the Holy Son will help you!"
Huikong said excitedly.
"What?"
Ye Qingyun was a little dumbfounded.
He originally wanted to trick this guy away so that he would stop bothering him.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be self-defeating.
This Huikong doesn't want to leave, but wants to follow him?
How can this be fixed?
Do I really have to carry a monk with me all day?
Isn't this too strange?
And if you really capture Huikong, what if some monk from the ancient Xichan Temple comes to cause trouble for you?
This is not possible.
"You don't need to follow me."
Ye Qingyun opened his mouth and said.
Huikong raised his head and looked at Ye Qingyun blankly.
"Practice does not mean following anyone. As long as you have Buddha in your heart and take it as your duty to save the world, then even if you don't follow anyone or are not in any temple, you are still practicing."
"Buddha will see it."
