Lin Niao and Xin Xin left the village and continued walking east.
It's just that along the way, Ming Xin seemed very silent. He didn't say a word along the way, just lowered his head and thought about things.
Lin Niao didn't bother her either.
Compassion now does require more time to think about.
As they walked, Lin Niao and Xinxin came to an abandoned village.
This village should have been the last one left behind when the whole village moved to avoid the war during the war.
They found a fairly normal house and Lin Niao and Xin Xin stayed there.
Late at night, Ming Xin was still looking up at the starry sky in the courtyard.
"Still not sleeping yet?"
Lin Niao sat next to Xin Xin.
"Can't sleep." Xin Xin shook her head.
"Don't you hate me? Or do you blame me?" Lin Niao asked.
"Hate you? Blame you? Why?" Ming Xin retracted her gaze from the night sky and looked at Lin Niao in confusion.
"Because I killed so many bandits in front of you, and it was I who 'connived' those people to take revenge," Lin Niao said.
"But."
His compassionate eyes blinked slightly.
"I think you did nothing wrong, and I didn't stop you at the time. I just watched. I also have a responsibility that I cannot escape from.
I was just thinking, what is salvation?
Many things are very different from what I saw in Buddhist scriptures.
What exactly is the so-called way of salvation?
What is right and what is wrong.”
"Perhaps there is no absolute right or wrong in this world."
Lin Niao thought for a while and said.
“Every person and everything has different justice in their hearts.
In my opinion, if you do good deeds, you should be praised and rewarded, so that more and more people will do good deeds.
Those who do bad things must be punished accordingly, so that fewer and fewer people will do bad things.
Otherwise, if there is no cost for doing bad things, and if sin can be offset by doing good deeds, the world will be in chaos.
What your Buddhist school emphasizes is the universal salvation of all sentient beings.
But it is impossible for all sentient beings to survive.
And sometimes, giving severe punishment is to save all sentient beings."
After saying that, Lin Nian stretched out the wine bottle in his hand: "Would you like to take a sip of wine?"
"Buddhist disciples cannot drink alcohol." Xinxin shook his head.
"You see, sometimes you Buddhist disciples are like this, paying too much attention to rules and dogma.
What your Buddhists emphasize is "There is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust." What you emphasize is keeping oneness in your heart and not being disturbed by external things.
But if you really have a Buddha in your heart, really respect the Buddha in your heart.
So what about drinking alcohol and eating meat? What about growing hair?
What about punishing evildoers?
Doesn’t this make him a monk?
If you have Buddha in your heart, you are a true monk.
If you don't have a Buddha in your heart, you won't necessarily be a monk if you don't drink alcohol or eat meat.
'I see the Tathagata, but the Tathagata does not see me.'
Everyone does not have the Buddha in everyone's heart.
You need to find out what the Buddha in your heart is like, and no one can help you find it.
Perhaps, this is the purpose of Master Wuyuan allowing you to travel around the world."
"Do you know Grandpa Abbot? How do you know it was Grandpa Abbot who asked me to travel?" asked compassionately.
Min Xin has never told Lin Niao, so few people should know about this matter.
Xin Xin felt that Lin Niao knew a lot of things.
"You don't need to know this." Lin Niao smiled and said, "I won't answer you either."
"Oh." Ming Xin nodded and lowered his head.
Since Lin Niao didn't want to say anything, Xin Xin didn't continue to ask.
In the courtyard, the two fell into silence again.
In fact, Lin Niao still had a good impression of Master Wuyuan from Leishui Temple.
Master Wuyuan can be said to be a decent person in this world who truly cares about the common people in the world.
Moreover, he is not pedantic either. He is nearly 10,000 years old and can even be called a living fossil. There is no dark spot in his behavior.
Even at that time, many players felt sorry for Master Wuyuan.
The reason is that when Master Wuyuan was young, he also experienced a period of painstaking and unforgettable love.
Many players believe that it was this period of painstaking and unforgettable love that prevented Master Wuyuan from becoming a Buddha from beginning to end.
If possible some other time, I really want to go to Leishui Temple to see the oldest person in the world.
"Where are you, Lin Niao?" Beside Lin Niao, Compassion, who was still looking at the starry sky, looked at Lin Niao's profile, "Do you have a Buddha too?"
"Yes." Lin Niao nodded.
Ming Xin was even more curious: "Then what is the Buddha in your heart?"
"I won't tell you either."
"Oh wow." Ming Xin lowered his head again.
Seeing the cute look of Ou Xie on Xin Xin, Lin Niao stopped teasing her and said with a smile:
"The Buddha in my heart is very simple. Whoever wants to mess with me or hurt the people I care about, I will never be polite to them.
On this basis, repay grievances directly and repay kindness with kindness.
This is the Buddha in my heart."
In fact, it is not so much a Buddha as a standard for judging things.
Listening to Lin Niao's words, he lowered his head and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something.
Lin Niao also knew that this kind of thing could not be figured out overnight. It required compassion to constantly look at the world and ask her own heart.
But at least, in Xin Xin's eyes, Lin Niao saw that Xin Xin was a little less confused.
Early the next morning, Lin Niao and Xinxin left the courtyard and came to a prosperous town in Liang State.
Walking on this busy street, Ming Xin's dress is naturally very eye-catching.
But Lin Niao and Xinxin are both used to it.
"Brother, come and play~~~"
"This young master is so handsome that even the slave family wants to fall in love with him."
"Brother, come here~"
Passing by the door of a brothel, a girl in cool clothes greeted me.
"You can stay at the inn in front." Lin Niao said to Xin Xin.
"What about you?" Xinxin tilted his head.
"Me, I'll stay here tonight." Lin Niao pointed to the brothel next to him.
"No." Xin Xin shook his head, "Donor Lin, sex is like a boning knife and will corrode people's minds. You can't go to that kind of place."
"Oh?" Lin Niao said playfully, "What if I insist on going?"
"If Donor Lin insists on going."
Xin Xin lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Lin Niao firmly.
"Then I will go with Donor Lin!"
