Asna, Fayan and the others stood up to greet Moyun, which proved that Moyun was not lying.
Moyun had a distinguished status, and Asna's position was given to him, while one of the monks from Daimi Temple could only stand.
In fact, there were quite a few people standing in this hall.
"The second prince proposes a question, that would be perfect!" Princess Changping said.
Mo Yun smiled and said: "Our Lingshan Dami Temple is a representative of Buddhism. Today's question is a question on behalf of Buddhism!"
"Amitabha, although Buddhism is one family, Lingshan Daimi Temple cannot represent all. Pudu Temple has its own problems!" Kurong said.
Mo Yun looked stunned and snorted: "Isn't the origin of Buddhism in the Dajing Dynasty not the Lingshan Dami Temple?"
"This is true, but after years of development, Eastern Buddhism has established its own branch. It is different from some concepts in the West. You are you, and we are us!" Master Kurong said.
Hang Tianyi nodded secretly. This monk who likes alms really has two skills.
He did not shy away from the origin of Buddhism, but he emphasized that Eastern Buddhism had stepped out to establish its own branch. In this case, the second prince naturally could not represent Eastern Buddhism.
Hang Tianyi had some clues that the Western Buddhists came to meet this time and seemed to want to conquer the Eastern Buddhists.
Is this the reason why Mo Yun came to Dajing Dynasty?
Because he said last night that certain things can only be done if his identity is revealed.
But if this is the case, what about Asna and Fayan? Both of them are proficient in Buddhism, is Moyun still superior to them?
During the meeting that day, Hang Tianyi and Mo Yun fought, but they did not talk about Buddhism.
"Are you Ku Rong?" Mo Yun asked.
Master Kurong nodded: "It's the poor monk!"
"Since you are Ku Rong, you should understand that Pudu Temple can only find a way out by obeying Dai Mi Temple. Once the charm of Buddhism is separated, it will not be good for everyone. Everyone knows the current situation!" 2
said the prince.
Master Kurong said calmly: "The charm of Buddhism is not up to you!"
"I think the views of the second prince are reasonable. As a Buddhist family, if Dami Temple can be returned to Pudu Temple, then the luck will probably be stronger.
of!"
Wang Tengfeng spoke, he was a subject of the Dajing Dynasty, so he naturally wanted to speak for the Dajing Dynasty.
The second prince narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that Wang Tengfeng was a powerful character. These words were so sharp.
"Dajing Dynasty pays attention to etiquette and respects ancestors. Since the origin of Buddhism is with our Lingshan Dami Temple, it is the ancestral court of Buddhism. Pudu Temple insists on going its own way. What is it if it is not forgetting the ancestors by counting scriptures? Pudu Temple belongs to Daming Temple. It is natural and right. If it is according to law
According to your words, it is suspected that a grandfather calls his grandson a grandfather!" Mo Yun said.
Wang Tengfeng frowned slightly when he heard this.
Hang Tianyi said: "The second prince is wrong. It is true that the origin of Buddhism is Dami Temple, but the inheritance of Taoism has been carried forward. How can we use ordinary and simple seniority to judge it? If everything is based on seniority, then let's
What should the capable people do? Furthermore, Buddhism advocates the equality of all living beings. According to the Second Prince’s statement, where does the word equality reflect?”
Mo Yun was stunned for a moment. Hang Tianyi's words felt like strong words, but they seemed to be very reasonable. For a moment, he had no words to refute.
After thinking for a moment, Mo Yun said: "Whether it is Eastern Buddhism or Western Buddhism, the origin is Buddha. Since no one is convinced by the other, we can only compete in the meeting!"
A meeting is not just about talking. As long as both parties agree, they can go to the ring to discuss and confirm.
"I don't know how you can prove it?" Master Ku Rong said lightly.
Mo Yun looked at Hang Tianyi and said: "Bodhi has no tree, and its name is not a platform. It has nothing in the first place. Where can it cause dust? This verse was said by Hang Baotou, right?"
Hang Tianyi thought, I copied this. He coughed dryly: "It seems like this is happening!"
"I wonder what Master Kurong has to say about these four verses?" Mo Yun said.
"Shameless, this is Hang Tianyi's thing, not yours!" Liang Ling said angrily, she hated this mess the most.
Mo Yun ignored it and looked at Ku Rong quietly, waiting for his answer.
Hang Tianyi laughed: "Does the second prince know where these four verses come from?"
"What do you mean?" Mo Yun frowned.
Hang Tianyi said: "If you don't know, how can you understand the meaning of these four verses?"
"Really? Then
I am willing to listen attentively!" Mo Yun said.
In his heart, he expected Hang Tianyi to say some insights, but at the same time, he also hoped that Hang Tianyi would not say anything. This ambivalence was very tormenting.
Hang Tianyi said: "This verse is related to two sages in Buddhism. One of them first wrote the verse: The body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror stand. Always brush it diligently to prevent it from causing dust."
When he said this, everyone in the Buddhist sect's eyes lit up.
Asna said: "This verse is excellent and contains supreme Buddhist principles!"
Hang Tianyi said: "It is indeed excellent, but another sage said that Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust!"
"From my point of view, there is actually no superiority between these two verses. It's just that the second verse is more mysterious!"
"Indeed, people in the world have always been curious and confident, so at that time, the masters of these two sages in Buddhism thought that the second verse was better, and let the sage inherit his mantle!" Hang Tianyi
said.
Asna shook his head: "If it were me, I'd rather choose the first one!"
"Why?" Hang Tianyi asked.
Asna said: "The second verse sounds mysterious and mysterious, but it is intangible, while the first verse is real. Compared with those illusory things, I prefer those that can be touched.
It’s real!”
The most important thing in the first verse is the word "diligence". In real life, it is indeed necessary to wipe frequently to keep it clean, otherwise it will be dusty.
Even if it's a Bodhi tree or a mirror stand, it's all the same.
In fact, many times, Hang Tianyi also agrees with the first verse, which is the verse of Zen Master Shenxiu.
But every time I go to understand it deeply, I feel that Huineng's verses are more mysterious and meaningful.
"To be more elegant, the things in this world are music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and wine, but after all, they are still within the scope of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea. Things that can be touched are indeed more intuitive!" Li Yunbai said.
Hang Tianyi thought to himself, he is really a great Confucian, and he can see the shadow of Confucianism in his words.
"So, Mr. Li also agrees with my explanation?" Asna smiled lightly.
