What is Buddha?
Ye Qingyun was speechless for a while.
How could he remember that this question seemed to have been asked by someone a long time ago?
But I couldn't remember it for a while.
But Ye Qingyun felt a little speechless.
Why do these monks like to ask such weird questions?
What is Buddha?
Isn’t the Buddha the Buddha?
What else could it be?
Is it your second uncle?
I study this kind of thing all day long.
There is no positive energy at all.
If you have this free time, you might as well think more about serious matters.
For example, the joyful Zen mentioned just now.
This looks very positive!
Of course, Ye Qingyun could only murmur these words in his stomach.
But I dare not really say it.
Otherwise, these monks must be beaten up.
Ye Qingyun pretended to think for a while.
"Well, I think what a Buddha is depends on each person."
The old Buddha was startled.
"It varies from person to person?"
Everyone else present also showed doubts.
It seems that he did not expect that Ye Qingyun would say such a thing.
Ye Qingyun nodded.
"Yes, Buddha is actually everywhere."
"The floating white clouds, the gurgling water, and the fallen leaves are actually Buddhas."
"In my eyes, Buddha can be everything."
"In your eyes, the Buddha may be just a statue of Buddha."
"In the eyes of ordinary believers, Buddha is an omnipotent existence."
Ye Qingyun smiled.
"Look, what a Buddha is, doesn't it vary from person to person?"
At these words, Xuance and the four great Buddhas all looked shocked.
Especially Xuance.
A look of shock appeared on his face.
It seemed that he had heard someone say these words before when he was reincarnated hundreds of years ago.
Xuance remembered that he was an old man who traveled in the yellow sand.
Monk once gave Xuance a few words of advice.
It's similar to what Ye Qingyun said just now.
"The words of the Holy Son are like enlightenment, which makes the poor monks and others gain great understanding!"
A Buddha stood up and bowed to Ye Qingyun with admiration on his face.
"No, no, it's just a very shallow knowledge. I'm rude in front of all the masters."
Ye Qingyun also hurriedly returned the gift, looking very respectful.
When Xuance and the four great Buddhas saw this, they were secretly amazed.
This holy son of Buddhism clearly understands the profoundness of Buddhism, but is too humble.
It makes people feel a little emotional.
Perhaps the more advanced a person is, the more he knows how to be humble.
Xuance and the four great Buddhas were secretly afraid of Ye Qingyun.
They originally thought that although this Ye Qingyun was a holy son of Buddhism, he had never practiced true Buddhism after all.
When it comes to Buddhist cultivation, it is definitely very general.
Even if he had ever defeated an eminent Buddhist monk in Buddhist theory, it was probably mostly due to luck.
But now I look at it.
Ye Qingyun really has something in his belly.
"Been taught a lesson."
The old Buddha also paid homage to Ye Qingyun.
"The poor monk asked the Holy Son again, why do we Buddhist practitioners have to abide by the precepts and strictly follow the Buddhist rules?"
"What's the point?"
Another tricky question.
Ye Qingyun naturally didn't know how to answer.
But after thinking about it for a moment, he came up with a way to deal with it.
"This meaning actually means that it exists and it doesn't exist."
Ye Qingyun said lightly.
Everyone was startled again.
What does it mean to say that there is, and to say that there is not, there is not?
What about playing charades?
"Oh? Please forgive me, Holy Son."
The old Buddha narrowed his eyes slightly and asked
road.
Ye Qingyun's answer was too vague.
In the opinion of the old Buddha, this was entirely because Ye Qingyun was perfunctory, and he definitely didn't know how to answer his question.
Ye Qingyun smiled and didn't panic at all.
"The existence of precepts is to restrain Buddhist people, so that Buddhist people can cultivate their moral character, eliminate unnecessary thoughts, and focus entirely on practice."
Everyone nodded.
What Ye Qingyun said is right...
This is the meaning of the existence of precepts.
It is not only a restriction, but also something that urges monks to practice.
"The body is like a bodhi tree and the mind is like a mirror."
"Brush it diligently at all times and don't let it attract dust."
Ye Qingyun casually said a piece of Buddhist scripture.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out of his mouth, Xuance and the four great Buddhas all changed their expressions.
