Chapter 112 The Three People's Views on Taoism
Chapter 112 Three people have their own views on Taoism
This was Zheyu's highlight moment, and Baicao Shi was still full of glory. That was his husband-in-law. Even though they were just a fake couple, it was good even for just one day.
Lu Huai, however, became a little annoyed and raised another argument, "Our Dayan Dynasty advocates Confucianism and emphasizes cultivating one's moral integrity, harmonizing the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. But Buddhists only talk about good and evil. What use is this to the stability of the country?"
"
Zhe Yu suddenly shook off his sleeves and took a few steps forward. Lu Huai immediately stepped back. "It's useless for you to claim to be a talented Confucian scholar. You don't even understand Confucian classics. Confucianism advocates benevolence, and benevolent people love others. Those who love others are good. This is different from Buddhism.
Isn’t it the wonderful thing about having the same purpose but different approaches? If one person does one good deed, there will be hundreds of good deeds in every village, town and county. If one person loves another person, there will be few widows and widowers in the world. Good deeds can eliminate evil. If every family does good deeds, the family will be harmonious and people will be harmonious.
If a person eliminates evil, it can be said to be self-cultivation; if one cultivates one's self and unites the family to eliminate evil, then why worry about the country not being governed and the world not being peaceful?"
There was warm applause from the audience.
The people couldn't quite understand it, but judging from his momentum and expression, it was definitely the handsome young man, that is, the side of the virtuous monk who won. Baicao Shi even whistled.
Lu Huai couldn't argue, so he walked away. When passing the steps, he accidentally fell and grabbed the dog's shit, which made him extremely embarrassed.
Master Puji stood up and walked to Zhe Yu, "I just thanked the benefactor for his argument. Lao Naguan, a young man with a good heart, would you like to read the scriptures and think about it with me and explore the great road together?"
Zheyu took a deep look at Master Puji.
He is a direct disciple of Master Duchen. Duchen is a top-notch magician in Yanjing, and his divination and predictions are all accurate.
"I don't want to." Zheyu refused simply.
"Why?" Master Puji asked hard to get to the bottom of it.
"The so-called theory of good and evil is just an attempt to deceive useless students who are seeking fame and reputation. Can advocating kindness unify the world? Can advocating kindness make people retreat in the face of interests? If everyone is doing good and worshiping Buddha, why?
In the world, there are so many sons who kill their fathers, fathers who kill their sons, commit crimes and commit crimes, and who are corrupt and sycophantic?" When he said this, the anger in Zheyu's body increased invisibly, and his eyes turned from amber to red.
Puji stared at him, "How can the donor do this if he doesn't do good to the Buddha?"
"I use violence to control evil so that evil does not dare to breed."
"Donor, you are too violent and need to be resolved by Buddha..."
At this time, Baicao Shi had already arrived in front of Zhe Yu and said angrily: "Master, I respect you as a young lady, but I have a saying that is right: people with different paths should not work together. I respect your words as your will."
I'm free, but I don't agree with everything you say. Even if you are a great monk, I won't agree."
Baicao Shi hesitated for a moment, and then said: According to me, life is all about practice, whether you are in Buddhism or the world of mortals, whether it is Buddhism or worldly fate, it is all external causes. The journey of the great road depends entirely on the firmness of the heart and the direction towards the world.
Just do what you believe in and have no regrets. My husband has his own way."
Pu Ji looked at Baicao Shi, and there was great wisdom hidden in those eyes that were filled with cold water and sand. "It's Mrs. Ling."
Zheyu made a cross-hand salute, "I respect the master, but I don't want to have an empty talk and debate with the master. Morning bells and evening drums, green lanterns and ancient Buddhas. I came here just to borrow paper and pen from the master."
Puji waved his hand to the little novice monk behind him, and said to Amitabha, "The words of the two donors are shocking. I only hope that the donors can also use this self-discipline in their daily lives, be calm in the morning and dusk, and be consistent in words and deeds."
The little novice monk took the paper and pen, and Zheyu took it and handed it to Baicao Shi, "Master, there is medicine to cure the evil in the human body, but there is no medicine to cure the evil in the human heart. At that time, only swords and blood could cure evil. Bar."
With that said, he walked outside the temple.
Baicao Shi followed after a few steps.
Puji and the young novice walked deeper into Baoen Temple together. Puji seemed to be struggling every step he took, as if he had aged several years suddenly.
"Master Puji, are you okay?"
Puji supported a tree, looked at the sky, and said silently in his heart: "Master's last hexagram was used on one person. He is related to the safety of the world. Now I have traveled thousands of miles to come from Yanjing just to see him. One glance. Buddhism cannot save him. Perhaps, the female donor beside him can."
Who else in the world deserves so much attention from two generations of eminent monks?
**
At the same time, in Baoen Temple Square, a pair of masters and servants were also having a conversation.
The master said: "What kind of talented person from Yingzhou is worse than bullshit. The one who wins the argument is the real talent. You might as well make friends with such a person. Oh, in this way, you can send him a copy of the invitation from the Chamber of Commerce and say that he is not allowed to recruit. Come, you can use it for me."
This person is Pei Xingzhi, the top leader of the Pei Chamber of Commerce in Boyang.
The servant has followed his master for a long time and knows that except for his uncle, who is only a few years older than him and is only a few years older than him, he admires the one who holds an important position in the family and the rest of them are not in the same league.
Today, why do you praise someone to such an extent just because of a debate?
