Chapter 5279 Qing Tan talks about the different ways of Xuan Dao
Huiyuan smiled slightly: "This is what you, Agu, don't understand about my Buddha. We practice elimination of karma, not to ask for what will happen in the next life. That is too stupid. Just like when I recruit disciples, I don't do it to see who pays me with incense and money."
More, it depends on whether he has the root of wisdom, whether he has enlightened the Tao, and whether he is dedicated to good deeds. Buddha is destined to save a person. This destiny means that he has no nostalgia for the world, has seen through the world of mortals, and wants to serve the Buddha and benefit the common people. So.
, It is not that easy to be my disciple. This is not the same idea as your father and son, in order to successfully rebel and become the masters of the world, but to have more disciples, the better. "
Lu Gu sneered: "It's your business whether you believe in this foreign religion, but I only know that Taoism, Lao and Zhuang are our religious sects in China since ancient times. Taoism, magic, and immortality are obvious facts.
, is much more useful than your illusory theory of reincarnation after death. The Zhuangzhou Dream Butterfly we studied when we were young is actually that we want to become immortals, have endless lifespan, and get rid of the suffering of birth, old age, illness and death in the mortal body. This is not better than the dream of reincarnation after death.
With your method of reincarnation after death, you will lose all memories of your previous life in the next life, so you may not be able to be a human being, but be a flower, bird, fish, or insect. Isn't that much better?"
Huiyuan shook his head: "This is the way I have understood. The ways of cultivating immortality that you pursue are to obtain elixirs and test the medicines on people. Not only do you not produce yourself, you drive servants, but you also take people's lives. In the end
It is also extremely difficult to reach immortality. Just like the Taoist saying about this real person and that immortal king, have you ever seen it with your own eyes?"
Lu Gu gritted his teeth and sneered: "You seem to have seen some kind of reincarnation and the Tathagata Buddha. Everyone believes in what they want to believe. Just believe it if it is true or false. There is no need.
Prove it to others?”
Huiyuan smiled slightly: "But at least my heart is calm and peaceful. I have never killed anyone in my life. I try my best to do good deeds. After entering Buddhism, I devoted myself to the welfare of others. In the process,
I am very happy and happy to be able to help others every day. Ah Gu, ask yourself, can you do it?"
Lu Gu laughed loudly and said: "There is nothing I can't do. You just put aside your seven emotions and six desires and fell into your own inner world. You regard killing as a sin, as a karma to be eliminated, and what do you think of helping others?"
Virtue, don’t look at the people you help, is it really a good deed?!”
"Just like Huan Yi, who helped you build Donglin Temple. He was the governor of Jiangzhou and a general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. You built the temple for you, and you chanted sutras and prayed for him, wishing him victory. Huan Yi later joined the Feishui
In the battle, he commanded thousands of troops and killed tens of thousands of enemy troops. It is said that one general can make thousands of bones wither. Then tell me, your prayers for Huan Yi cost tens of thousands of former Qin soldiers their lives. Then you
Is this helping people or killing people?”
The corners of Huiyuan's mouth twitched slightly. Obviously, he had never thought about this question, but he couldn't answer it.
Seeing that his argument had gained the upper hand, Lu Gu was even more proud and said in a deep voice: "According to you, the people who suffer in this world are the ones who committed sins in the previous life and have to pay off their debts and eliminate their karma in this life. The emperor who holds a high official position
The high sect of the He family is enslaving and oppressing the people and making them live miserable lives. This is an evil act. I will raise an army to rebel against them, drive them from their position of rule, and send them to hell in advance. Then I will establish a new dynasty so that the people can live in peace.
Living a better life, wouldn’t that be a great merit?”
Huiyuan gritted his teeth: "No, you raised an army during the period of peace and plunged the world into war and turmoil. This is a great sin, and it is by no means a merit."
Lu Gu sneered and said: "Is it right to work as cattle and horses for those noble families and to be slaves for generations? In Tianshi Taoism, Taoist friends at least pay five buckets of rice and can help each other after joining the religion. These should be
It’s something that the government and the court do. They don’t do it. Instead, we religious people do it. Is this just to win people’s hearts and to rebel? You must know that before me, this Tianshi Dao has existed for thousands of years. It is comparable to
This kind of Buddhism of yours is much longer-lasting. It’s all just for the incense money of the believers, so you are nobler than us?”
Huiyuan sighed: "At least we Buddhists will not use the power of religion to spread wars or bring trouble to the world. We only practice to eliminate karma, while Taoists are involved in too many disputes in the world, just like your father and son.
, directly launched a rebellion and caused the destruction of all living beings. Even if you succeed, if your son sits on the throne of the leader and emperor, he will be able to bring peace to the world and let the people live a better life than the Eastern Jin Dynasty under the Sima family? "
Lu Gu laughed loudly: "Brother Baoyu, look at Guangzhou. My son can only rule it for a few years. It is much better than the officials of the Jin Dynasty. Even the governor's office can be built like an imperial palace.
"
Huiyuan shook his head: "You abused people's power and drove people to build palaces. You have lived a better life, but what about the people? I have been traveling all the way in Lingnan, and I have seen disciples of Tianshi Dao everywhere.
, use leather whips to drive the Han Yi people to work. The tens of thousands of skeletons outside the city of Guangzhou are like a scene from hell. To enslave and drive the people with fear and violence, you are definitely better than the previous Jin Dynasty.
Is it better to be under control?"
Lu Gu said sternly: "Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. Those who are whipped to work are the soldiers and civilians of the Jin State who do not take the initiative to join the divine religion, or the barbarians who hide in the mountains in the hope of self-reliance. I will leave them here."
It was a favor to spare their lives and let them just do something. The Skeleton Jingguan was a soldier of the Jin State who fought desperately to resist our divine army in Guangzhou City. This Skeleton Jingguan was to tell the people of Lingnan
, the fate of being our enemy. Without this deterrent, how could we have conquered Lingnan so quickly? If the war was delayed, the number of people who would die would probably be ten times that of this skeleton Jingguan. They had already died in the battle anyway.
, using their heads to prevent more people from dying, even according to your Buddhist theory, this is a great merit."
Huiyuan sighed softly: "Agu, you and I have not seen each other for more than fifty years, and we have reached the end of our lives. If our ideas don't agree, there is no need to insist on agreement. Today I have left you and I have not seen each other for decades.
Donglin Temple, I came here specifically to see you. It has nothing to do with my Buddhist achievements. I just want to meet my old friend one last time and leave no regrets in this life."
Lu Gu nodded: "If you hadn't been an old friend from childhood, what you said to me today would have killed you ten times, and I wouldn't have talked to you like this. Let's talk, my brother Baoyu, you...
Why did you come to Guangzhou for the first time?” (End of this chapter)
