It turns out that the three corpses that were chopped out can still be used in this way, so it should be fine, right? I got into Kui's car with an uneasy feeling.
Kui’s car?!
"How do we get to Changle World in the East? By car?" I was a little confused.
"Hey, even though I'm driving, it's still powered by mana. Do you want to fly? If I don't have any mana to protect me, I'll blow you to death." Kui smiled at me.
"What is this Eastern Changle World? Is it the same as the Western Paradise?" I touched here and there. To be honest, if I think of a car accident when riding in a car to the West, then what comes to my mind when riding in a car to the East?
I didn't feel very good either, so I was very nervous.
"The realms are actually the same, but one is in the east and the other is in the west." Kui drove out of the street skillfully.
"Is that also where people go after they die?" Now I feel even more uneasy.
"Yes, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Many people don't know that Taoism also governs a pure land. Like the Paradise, it is the place where the souls of the ascetics rest for hundreds of years. There is only heaven and no hell there, which can make people
Get out of the sea of suffering, avoid the reincarnation of life and death in the four lives and six realms, leave suffering forever, go straight to the human and heaven, the pure land of transcendence, and have endless happiness. You can come and go without worries." Kui said in 46% of the sentence.
"Is there a place similar to Xitian Leiyin Temple?" I was quite new and asked about the difference.
"Yes, the Dongji Miaoyan Palace where Taiyi Lao Tao lives."
"I always thought that Taoism was about cultivating immortality and practicing it in this life. It turns out that there is also a place for cultivating in the afterlife."
"Of course, a hundred years of life will pass by in a blink of an eye. If you don't practice enough, you will die. But if you are like the great virtuous monk and can sense Xuanmen, you can go to Dongji Miaoyan Palace to continue practicing.
. Otherwise, thank you to the Taoists. Do you think those old Taoists and monks are good people? They are all robbing people." Kui curled his lips.
I was a little speechless as I listened to Kui's words. I could still talk well at first, but later I felt that he didn't deal with monks, and he was not the same as Taoist priests. So why did you ask Taiyi to save Ku Tianzun for help?
"Then do you think Buddhism or Taoism is better?" I asked out of doubt.
"It's neither good nor bad."
"What do you mean?"
"These two groups of people, one talks about doing nothing, and the other talks about selflessness. In fact, it is not selflessness, nor is it inaction. From one's own standpoint, those who do nothing also have a purpose, and they need to find believers. Those who are selfless also have a self.
, began to preach. In fact, are they right? Yes, the more people know, the more knowledge and wisdom can be spread, but now it is increasingly deviating from nature. Taoism has become Taoism, and Buddhism has become Buddhist scriptures. If something is fixed
, if it is restrained, it will be over-interpreted, and in the end it will be further and further away from the original intention. Do you think I am so happy in Xuandu Palace? Do you think Sakyamuni is so carefree in Lingshan? In fact, they are all screwed up.
Heart. They themselves sometimes look at the new interpretations of what they said and get a lawsuit on their heads, hahahaha."
It's quite fun to think about how the Taoist ancestors and the Buddha were so angry that they scolded their mothers.
"Is the misinterpretation very serious now?" In fact, I only know the names of various scriptures. I really don't know how they explain them.
"It's very powerful! If we talk about taking quotes out of context and talking about them separately, then the most terrible way to explain is to ignore the root and the last. The simplest is what Zhuangzi said in the Chinese textbook when you were in school: My life has a limit, and my knowledge has no limit. A bunch of teachers
The principal teaches students every day that they should study hard and pursue unlimited knowledge with a limited life."
"Sounds about right.", I interjected.
"But Zhuang Zhou also said the second half of the sentence. The full text is: My life also has a limit, and my knowledge has no limit. If there is a limit, it will follow the limitless, and it is already gone! He who has become a knower is gone! There is no near name for doing good.
, There is no immediate punishment for evil deeds, Yuan Du believes that it can protect one's life, support one's entire life, support one's relatives, and extend one's life." Kui turned a corner.
"Let's not talk about the latter part. The original intention of the first half of Zhuangzi's sentence is to pursue unlimited knowledge with a limited life, which will definitely fail. Then there is the second half of the sentence, knowing that you have failed but still learning is even more failed. The correct approach
Do good deeds without seeking fame and fortune, do bad deeds without breaking the law, and follow the laws of nature. This is the most life-saving way. Besides, do you think that old man Zhuang Zhou is a person who pursues knowledge every day? Nonsense.
It’s bad. Just take it out of context and change the meaning. No wonder you can’t learn from it now.” Opening in a straight line, Kui basically didn’t need to look at the road and started talking.
"What about Buddhism?" I answered the question at the right time. As a listener, you need to be somewhat aware.
"Buddhism is even worse. Buddhism is not as simple as taking it out of context and discarding the basics. Buddhism has now entered a situation where demons are dancing. I once walked in the world and found that although there are obviously fewer believers in Taoism, the basic thoughts of Taoism are still the same.
Now, I can still barely see the origin of Tao. But Buddhism has developed too many schools with wrong ideas, which harms others and ourselves. Now in your human world, countless evil gods and ghosts go around in the name of a certain Buddhist Bodhisattva.
There are very few true practitioners who have distorted the sutras after speaking about them." When it comes to Buddhism, Kui is simply serious in his words.
"Isn't this an exaggeration?"
"It's not an exaggeration. If you think about it carefully, are there any sects or sects around you that you have never heard of before? They appear and disappear quickly. What are they doing? In fact, they are all here to make money.
.To put it simply, the initial practice of Buddhism was actually very similar to that of Taoism. People in the past practiced Buddhism mostly in the present world and worked hard to realize cause and effect. So at that time, there were many methods of practice, including the practice of Light Bodhisattva.
There are more than twenty kinds, let alone Arhat status. But what about the present life? People only know how to recite Amitabha, and do not practice the present life and the next life. They think that they are doing good deeds by reciting the Buddha every day, and they are waiting to enjoy blessings in the next life. This is a joke.
.Nowadays, people recite sutras with words but no intention. Some people even set rules for themselves, how many sutras to read and how many Amitabha to recite every day, and they also say that they are practicing asceticism. Alas. They shout about accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, killing less, buying birds and animals and releasing them, but they don’t even know how to support them when they go home.
Parents, when they enter the mountain gate and burn incense, they don't know how to help the people around them. What's more, they recite Amitabha, do good deeds, find people to give alms to, and then drive a good car and live in a good house. The Dharma is spread, but they are far away from the Buddha.
The true nature is getting further and further away, everyone is reciting Amitabha, and everyone is lost."
I didn't say anything. These things are really reality. Think about it, in recent years, countless masters have appeared, countless sects have been established, and countless believers have donated money. But there seems to be not much kindness in the world. On the contrary, everyone is eager for quick success and family affection.
Indifference. Things that we have taken for granted are actually in the eyes of these demons who have lived for thousands of years. The world is really in decline.
When Kui saw that I was silent, he said: "Actually, this is an inevitable stage. The spread of Buddhism to the east will definitely bring glory and prosperity for thousands of years. However, things will inevitably reverse. The more prosperous they are, the more heretics want to use them to cheat money and sex. This is normal.
.The Taoists actually understood this truth after King Wu destroyed the Shang Dynasty, so they locked themselves in the thirty-third heaven. Why? The first is to maintain the purity of Taoism, and the second is to consume the miscellaneous brands of the past."
"Is the Battle of the Gods Real?", King Wu Destroyed the Zhou Dynasty, I know, the story of the Gods.
"Yes, but what is written in the book is slightly different from what you think. First of all, Chanjiao and Jiejiao are not a bunch of immortals fighting like you think. In fact, Jiejiao did not lose in the end, and Chanjiao did not win, but everyone was here
Everyone saw their faults in each war, so in the end the most peaceful people were left to preach, while the others left."
"What about the Buddhists? The book says they are the biggest winners. If the Taoists give in, the Buddhists will prosper."
"Buddhism has its advantages. Sakyamuni's wisdom is actually very powerful. He is actually one of the top people among you humans.
"What? Isn't he a Buddha? Is he also a human being?"
"They are all human beings. They are gods, immortals and Buddhas who were conferred by later generations. Moreover, Sakyamuni admitted that he was a mortal and only achieved enlightenment. Furthermore, the title Buddha originally refers to a person of great wisdom. You
Human beings only think that Buddha is the same as God. In fact, Buddha did not think that way. Did Li Er go to Taishang Laojun? Did Siddhartha prepare to become a Buddha from the beginning? Later generations hope that they can be like them.
, or be protected by them. It was originally a good intention, but now it has turned into relying on gods and Buddhas. Do you think they can be happy in their own paradise?"
"Then they are all human beings, so why can they still care about this and that in the paradise? Aren't they supposed to just die and disappear like human beings?" I was not convinced by this point.
"Hey, this is about the power of faith. These are the things that various evil spirits now want to share. Humans are actually very powerful animals. Not only are their bodies suitable for cultivation, but their spiritual power is actually boundless. Everyone
You may not know what you can do, but when a group believes in something, it may become true. And it also involves some ancient secrets, which I can’t tell you now. I’m just telling you that humans are scary.
, so you are also a little confident. Although you are in a group of demons, it is difficult to say that you will be the most powerful one in the future."
Okay, finally I come back to the fact that I don’t have much confidence. I still have to drink this chicken soup. But I still thank you for helping me build up my confidence. It’s just you, a great monster who has been around for thousands of years, driving a car and talking to me.
Talking about the greatness of human beings makes me feel very inconsistent.
When we were chatting happily, Kui pointed, we were almost there. I didn’t even look at the scenery outside, we were almost there? So soon?
"Hey, doesn't it feel fast? In fact, everyone has a path to the Pure Land in their hearts. It mainly depends on whether you believe it or not. The fact that you can synchronize with me so quickly means that you are still very connected."
"Why, you believe it too? I've asked about Buddha and Taoism, but I haven't asked about demons yet."
"It's easy to talk about demons. In fact, it's even simpler. I'll tell you when you return. Now you want to come with me to see Taiyi Tianzun."
