Chapter 5281 Traveling across the ocean to save your life
Lu Gu smiled and waved his hand: "Baoyu, Baoyu, I'm a little confused now, which side are you on? You want me to run away without a fight now, and run away to sea like this without waiting for my son and Daofu."
Are you there? Are you too impatient? I can't figure out for a moment whether you are a lobbyist for the Jin army or a good friend of mine."
Huiyuan said calmly: "I didn't tell you to wait for your son and General Xu. They are the core leaders of Tianshi Dao and they must follow them. Your son may have come directly to Guangzhou City, and General Xu
There, maybe you will go to Shixing, which is his hometown where he has been operating for many years. He will not give up so easily. Therefore, you may need to make good contact with the two leaders and ask them to quickly go to Guangzhou to go to sea.
OK."
Lu Gu said coldly: "Baoyu, are you trying to interfere in the internal affairs of our divine religion and decide whether to fight or leave? I think it's okay to listen to you talk about our old relationship for many years. If it were my son, especially
Daofu, if you want him to abandon his hometown in Shixing and go to sea again like this, I'm afraid he won't even have a chance to let you speak, and will directly kill you."
Huiyuan smiled slightly: "Young master and General Xu are both wise men, not the kind of reckless men who kill people if they disagree. At this time of life and death, I believe they will make rational choices. Although Shixing
It is a strong city, but can it be stronger than Guanggu? Liu Yu is a man with a firm mind and will never stop until he achieves his goal. This time, he will definitely not give you a chance to escape. He will definitely kill them all. According to reports,
It is best to give up the idea of fortifying the city in anticipation of changes in the world, so as not to miss important events."
Lu Gu gritted his teeth: "But in your eyes, we rebelled against the Jin Dynasty. In the past twenty years, we have caused trouble in the world, killed countless people, and committed heinous crimes. To be destroyed by Liu Yu and the others is what we deserve, or retribution. If
It makes sense that you let me escape alone, but if you want to save tens of thousands of our disciples of Tianshi Dao, wouldn't you be protecting the bad guys and it's your sin?"
Huiyuan said calmly: "The distinction between good and evil is just a thought. Just like the Jin army, like Liu Yu, he killed people under the banner of suppressing rebellion for the court. In our Buddhist view, it is also a matter of fabrication.
You have committed sins, and are essentially not much different from you. The court is immoral, corrupt officials are rampant, and aristocratic families have enslaved and driven the people for generations. You had your reasons for raising the army in the first place, and it was not for nothing. Although it was from your agu
From his perspective, he was wronged by the rulers of the Jin Dynasty and wanted to take revenge."
Lu Gu pointed bitterly at his left leg, which was obviously thinner than his right leg and several inches shorter. He gritted his teeth and said: "These are those Wudi aristocratic families who forced me to farm in Wudi.
Due to the root cause of the disease, my leg was almost broken. If Sun Tai, the leader of Tianshi Tao at that time, had not personally applied acupuncture and medicine on me, my leg would have been amputated directly. Even so,
My left leg has also become like this, making it difficult to walk. If not for this, how could I have avenged my great ambition and this deep-rooted hatred, and my son Lu Xun can only avenge it?"
Huiyuan sighed softly: "In these troubled times, I don't know how many people have lost their lives. You only have a disabled leg, but you are actually lucky. We have been pampered and carefree since we were young. Once we work by ourselves, we will eat
You can't bear this pain, you can't bear this crime, and you even become disabled. But think about those people who were born into farmers' families. They have to do farm work since childhood and have to farm all their lives. Is it fair that they have to endure all the hardships you have?
?”
Lu Gu laughed loudly: "Fairness? There has never been fairness in this world. Although your Buddhism teaches that all living beings are equal, our Confucianism and Taoism in the Central Plains have always emphasized the order of superiority and inferiority. This is what you and I have accepted since childhood.
Therefore, if we don’t want to become farmers, we must protect the interests of our entire gentry and maintain our family status. Although we all became monks for different reasons and did not follow the traditional path of scholar-bureaucrats, this principle
It will not change. If you think all living beings are equal, then why not find a farmer to help you build Donglin Temple? The unchangeable fact in this world is that only with the power in hand can you decide the fate of others and control your own destiny.
, If your Buddha is so powerful and compassionate, why doesn't he show his magic power to end the troubled times and save the common people when all sentient beings are suffering?"
Huiyuan shook his head: "Only the Buddha knows about this calamity. Cause and effect cycle, retribution is not satisfactory. All living beings live in this world just to eliminate karma and bring blessings. Then the cultivation in this life will be accumulated in the next life. This
The Buddha cannot interfere. The so-called compassion of the Buddha is to promote Buddhism in the world through our disciples, so that everyone can accumulate more virtues and do good deeds and do less bad things. In this way, slowly, people in the world will be kind, and only then can we fundamentally stop those evil deeds.
Evil deeds. This is the reason why the Buddha saves those who are destined to be saved. If you do not understand these principles, you will not be able to promote Buddhism."
Lu Gu said in a deep voice: "So, you come to me now to promote these Buddhist Dharma, and you want me, my son, and the Tao to be destroyed, and tens of thousands of disciples also believe in you? All of them will become monks.
Do you want to become a monk and practice Buddhism?”
Huiyuan waved his hand: "It doesn't have to be like this. Cultivation comes from the heart. As long as there is a Buddha in your heart, you can achieve enlightenment. As long as you have good and evil in your heart and know that killing is wrong, you can put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately. You are here
At the moment of victory, you will not believe me if I ask you to stop here. Just like if I were to go to Liu Yu now and ask him to live a good life in heaven and let you go again, he would not agree."
"But if you two sides continue to fight to the death, the final result will be that your Celestial Master Dao will be completely wiped out. Tens of thousands of followers, more than 100,000 family members, and hundreds of thousands of living beings in your area will all be unable to survive.
I don’t want to see such a loss of life anymore, especially I don’t want to see your young friend, who is nearly eighty years old, suffer from the sword again at this age, so I want to advise you to take refuge at sea. This is what the Buddha gave you.
Here are my instructions."
Lu Gu said coldly: "The Buddha just wants you to persuade us to go back to the sea and suffer the wind and waves on the sea, right? Baoyu, have you ever been to the sea yourself or been on a boat? Do you think that is a trivial matter?
?”
Huiyuan said seriously: "Of course I know that when you go to sea, you will be subject to bumps and wind waves on the vast sea, and your internal organs will feel as if they are turning over. Since the Later Han Dynasty, there have been many eminent monks going to Tianzhu to learn Buddhist scriptures, and some have returned from the sea.
That's really a narrow escape, so besides this method, do you have any other way to escape Liu Yu's pursuit?" ()
