Emperor Kuangwu stepped forward with a stick, preparing to teach Lingming some lessons. If he disrespects his master and commits his superiors, he is a great rebellion.
However, the Great Sage of Xile grabbed him, shook his head at Emperor Kuangwu, and said, "That is the disaster that junior brother Qin Chen should have. If you help him this time, the monks will definitely feel dissatisfied. They will be excluded everywhere in Mount Sumeru in the future. Now they can only rely on themselves."
The Crazy Martial Emperor had a deep brow and retreated unwillingly. He also knew that if Qin Chen could not show his true skills, it would be difficult to convince the monks.
The other saint monks of the Kong generation also nodded, thinking that the Great Sage of Joy made sense. If Qin Chen had no real material, what qualifications would he be on par with them?
These are all powerful people at the level of the Great Sage. They once shocked the world and were famous, so they are all arrogant people. Although they have nothing to say about the decision of the Great Buddha, they are inevitably a little unhappy.
Among these great saints, some of them are even comparable to those of the Great Buddha, and some of them are even older than the Great Buddha. However, because the Great Buddha is closer to the Great Buddha, they regard him as the abbot.
Qin Chen is weak and so young. I think he must be very experienced. He wants to be on an equal footing with them. Naturally, they are uncomfortable.
"Master, I also think this is inappropriate. After all, I am a new disciple and I am very knowledgeable. I was named the master's uncle's name at once. I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." Qin Chen also spoke, knowing that he was still too young, and even if he was given such a law, no one would agree with it.
Lingming snorted coldly when he heard this, thinking that Qin Chen had no real information and was afraid that he would be exposed, so he hurriedly refused.
"You are not really a shallow and poor person. On the contrary, your attainment in Buddhism is far better than everyone here. Otherwise, you would not be able to be a teacher. Empty awareness, modesty is a good thing, and courtesy is a great virtue. However, sometimes being too humble is not a good thing, do you understand?" The Great Buddha of the Beard seemed to insist on making Qin Chen a disciple of his uncle. He felt that since Qin Chen had such an understanding, he should not be humiliated.
"Disciple understand." Qin Chen also sighed, knowing that the Big Eyebrow Buddha insisted on doing this, no matter how much he said it would be useless.
"In this way, you will compete with me. If you win, I will be willing to serve you from now on, treat you with the etiquette and righteousness of the uncle. If you lose, you don't need to do anything else. Just don't accept the gift of Dharma name." Lingming was furious when he heard the words of the Great Buddha of the Beard and Male, and provoked Qin Chen.
"I won't fight with you..." Qin Chen frowned and shook his head. As a monk, how could he fight with him? This is a violation of the precept.
"How about it, are you afraid? Since you don't dare to compete with me, you should admit defeat as soon as possible and not mention this matter in the future." Ling Ming scolded coldly, looking at Qin Chen with contempt, not even dared to compete with him, how capable can he have.
"What's wrong with a competition? I also want to see what level you have reached when you understand Buddhism." At this time, the Great Buddha of Xumei said again. He also knew that if he wanted Qin Chen'an to sit in the position of Kong generation, he had to be respectful. Only by shocking the monks can he be respected.
Qin Chen looked at the Big Buddha in surprise, and finally had no choice but to agree, saying, "Everything is followed by Master's will."
He sighed in his heart that there is really no pure place in this world. Even if he comes to this Buddhist sect, it is difficult to get rid of disputes and troubles. These holy monks are not really able to be empty in all four elements. This Buddhist sect is different from what he thought. He is already disgusted with disputes, but he has nowhere to hide.
"Tell me, what do you want to compete?" Qin Chen stopped retreating and asked Lingming.
"Of course it is a competition for Buddhism. If you compete with you for your cultivation, can you?" Lingming did not forget to mock him, which attracted a burst of laughter from the monks. If you compete with Qin Chen for cultivation, you can shake him to death by raising your hand.
Qin Chen was not angry, with a calm expression and calm expression. He followed Lingming to the outside of Daleiyin Temple, and all the monks followed him out.
"I will ask questions and you will answer them. If you can answer them correctly, you will win." Lingming took the lead in attacking. He believed that the profound Buddhist teachings he had learned over the years could stump Qin Chen.
"Please tell me." Qin Chen was still calm and peaceful, like a great monk.
Lingming sneered, glanced at Qin Chen with a slanted eyes, and said, "I want to ask...what is a Buddha?"
As soon as this statement was spoken, the monks listened to it, and they all wanted to know how Qin Chen answered it. Whether this question was difficult or not, it was simple or not. Many of these monks knew it.
"What you see is a Buddha?" Qin Chen did not answer immediately, but asked with a smile, meaningful question.
"The Buddha is the great wisdom of the universe, the incarnation of kindness, the six senses are pure, the five aggregates are empty, there is a heart of true emptiness, wonderful and brightness, the Dharma appearance of the void realm, no desire or seeking. Self-awareness, awareness, perfection of awareness, transcend life and death, and save all sentient beings to develop the Bodhicitta, which is the Buddha." Lingming said it in extremely detailed, completely based on the interpretation of ancient Buddhist scriptures, so that all monks nodded and called it.
Lingming's master, a holy monk of the Kong generation, nodded happily after hearing the words. It is worthwhile that he had taught him all kinds of teachings, but Lingming did not lose his face.
"I've finished speaking. Now that you've said it, what is a Buddha?" Lingming asked, looking quite contented. He has been in a monk for tens of thousands of years and has a profound Buddhist teachings. He is not afraid of losing to Qin Chen, a young boy.
Qin Chen did not answer, but just pointed his finger at his chest. This subtle action shocked all the monks.
Seeing this, the Great Sage of Xile and Emperor Kuangwu frowned involuntarily, believing that Qin Chen's actions were rude.
"Arrogant! Do you dare to call yourself a Buddha? It's just a leopard's courage!" Lingming shouted loudly, and his face was angry. Qin Chen pointed at him, clearly saying that he was a Buddha and called himself a Buddha. How arrogant is this.
Qin Chen was not angry and said, "What I said is not only me, but all Buddhas in the world."
"I am talking nonsense. There is only one Buddha in this world. Why do all the people in the world become Buddhas? You, a child who is yellow, will be humiliated and be beaten!" Lingming was very angry. The Buddha was such a noble existence. Qin Chen said to himself that he was a Buddha, and he said that everyone in the world was Buddha, and he was just talking nonsense.
All the monks shook their heads, thinking that Qin Chen was too arrogant and dared to call himself Buddha, insulting Buddhism, and they were not worthy of staying in Mount Sumeru, the Buddhist holy mountain.
The big Buddha, the bearded and eyebrows, remained silent, waiting for Qin Chen to explain. His eyes were deep, and he seemed to have noticed the meaning of Qin Chen's words.
"The world returns to the heart, saves endless people, and escapes from the sea of suffering of reincarnation, which is truly great compassion. If you can save the other shore and wish to sacrifice yourself as others, who in the world is not a Buddha?" Qin Chen was excited and compassionate, and felt that if all the people in the world were kind to others, they would be Buddhas. Buddha should not be a person, but a kind of good thought and a belief.
"Well said! Buddha is compassionate. If you have good thoughts in your heart, people in the world will have the opportunity to become Buddhas!"
Some people couldn't help but applaud, regardless of Lingming's face, Qin Chen's Buddhist principles were different, but they were directly pointing to the hearts of the people and were much more wise.
The big Buddha also smiled and nodded. Qin Chen's attainment in Buddhism was already extremely profound. His eyes were more long-term and not limited to tradition. Only in this way can the Dharma be carried forward.
Qin Chen was a person who once lived in another world, and his views on all things in the world were naturally different. What he said at this time was just some of his own insights.
Lingming was furious, gritted his teeth, and said angrily: "Okay, even if you talk too much, there is still a next question."
Lingming pointed to the sky, pointed to the earth, and said, "What is the world?"
Qin Chen smiled, picked up a grain of sand from the ground and said, "This is the world!"
"Haha, a grain of sand is the world? Are you fooling me? It's simply nonsense!" Ling Ming sneered repeatedly, thinking that Qin Chen was pretending to be mysterious. How could a grain of sand be the world?
"What does he mean? He pinched a grain of sand and said it was the world. This grain of sand is small and weak, how can it be called the world?"
"It was probably a coincidence that he answered Lingming's question right just now. At this time, Lingming made a more difficult one and he couldn't stand it anymore and was talking nonsense."
The monks whispered, but they were still not optimistic about Qin Chen. No matter where they were, they would be attracted by strange eyes when they were young.
Qin Chen said calmly without showing his voice: "The Buddha said: A flower and a world, a tree and a floating life, a grass and a heaven, a leaf and a Tathagata, a sand and a bliss, a pure land, a smile and a dust relationship, a thought and a pure mind. Although a flower is small, it is a paradise for bees and butterflies. In the vast universe, we are just like dust, but although small, we are also a world of our own."
"The heaven and earth have not yet opened, all things have no self-nature, no essence, and all things are empty, but they are the foundation of everything. After understanding them, every flower and a grass is the whole world. Since that's the case... what's wrong with what I said?"
Lingming was stunned, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyebrows. He could not argue with the theory that Qin Chen said, and he was deeply affected.
He never expected that Qin Chen's understanding of Tao was so profound at such a young age, and he was knowledgeable and profound.
All the monks were moved and no longer thought that Qin Chen was simple and poor in his studies, but he really had real skills, so he was shocked.
The holy monks of the Kong generation all had different expressions, some were suspicious, some were surprised, some were thoughtful, and some were praiseworthy.
"In this world, many subtle things are the epitome of the vast world, hidden in the infinite in finiteness. It's great that you can understand this principle!" The big Buddha of the Beard could not help but nodded and praised it. Qin Chen used a grain of sand to surprise him.
I will tell you, is there something called a microscope in my world? Qin Chen thought to himself that in his world, scientists have long known through the observation of microscopes that there are huge numbers of bacteria in some subtle objects. These bacteria are naturally creatures, and the objects they depend on are their worlds. This world may be a grass, a flower, or even a grain of sand.
Therefore, Qin Chen was able to understand this principle and know that some small things may also have great mystery hidden.
The monks looked at Qin Chen again with different eyes. Although he was in a low state, when he reached the level of these holy monks, he valued not a person's cultivation, but a person's understanding and understanding of Buddhism.
