When Yang Qingyuan heard this, he just smiled slightly and tapped his palms with the closed folding fan.
"Masters! Yang has always had a question. I have to meet all the masters today. I hope you can answer it."
"How can an ordinary person practice and become a Buddha?!"
Liao Fan was innocent and innocent. Although he didn't know what Yang Qingyuan meant, he still answered him honestly, "In order to practice and become a Buddha, you must arouse the supreme bodhicitta. In order to save all your parents and sentient beings, you must swear to practice and become a Buddha. In order to achieve perfection as soon as possible,
Buddhism requires diligent study, reflection and practice..."
Yang Qingyuan smiled inexplicably, "The Buddha said that all sentient beings can be saved. Why do good people practice so hard for one or ten lives, but they can't reach the Lingshan Mountain and can't achieve the Buddhahood? Why?"
"Those who are dedicated to Buddha will find spiritual mountains everywhere. If they practice wholeheartedly, they will eventually become a Buddha." Qin Mengyao on the side said.
"What this girl said makes sense! But I don't know how a wicked person like me, with my hands full of blood and murder without calculation, can become a Buddha?"
"..."
Everyone present is a Buddhist, how could they not know the meaning of Yang Qingyuan's words?
Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately.
When a good person becomes a Buddha, he or she must cultivate his or her body and go through tribulations; when a bad person becomes a Buddha, he or she only needs to put down the butcher's knife.
Does this encourage everyone to be evil?!
Just when the monks were at a loss for words, Master Concubine Xuan spoke up and said, "Let me ask Marquis Yang, is it more difficult to get a good person to practice with a sincere mind, or to get a bad person to put down the butcher's knife?!"
"You are quite quick-witted, so does Buddhism mean that becoming a Buddha depends on the difficulty?!"
Yang continued to secretly change concepts.
When Yang Qingyuan was at Blue Star, he was the debate captain of the Southeast and Northwest University of Finance and Political Science. He was young and frivolous at the time, and did not like the steady and steady Qi Zong argumentation school. Instead, he liked the eccentric Jian Zong technique school the most. Systematic debating skills are not
Lose this Buddhist opportunity.
Yang Qingyuan's rhetorical question made Shi Fei Xuan not sure how to answer?!
Becoming a Buddha is not a test, it’s about who is more difficult. What Yang Qingyuan said seems to make some sense.
Yang Qingyuan immediately did not give the monks time to think, and continued to ask, "May I ask all the monks and monks, what is a Buddha?!"
Everyone present has been practicing Buddhism for many years, and they still have this theoretical knowledge.
Qin Mengyao replied loudly, "Buddha is wisdom, virtue, and compassion. You are Buddha, I am Buddha, all living beings are Buddhas, Buddha is everywhere, knows everything, and is omnipotent."
As the two sides argued, more and more disciples of the Jing Nian Zen Sect surrounded the place.
But Jing Nian Zen Sect stopped speaking for the fifth time, and instead asked Qin Mengyao and Shi Fei Xuan to answer.
This became a test for the two of them.
Cihang Jingzhai’s walking in the world not only represents Cihang Jingzhai, but also represents Pure Thought Zen Buddhism.
We are bound to encounter something like this in the future.
Cihang Jingzhai's journey in the world not only requires superior force, but also extraordinary wisdom.
Yang Qingyuan also came into the room regarding the sword theory of Dugu Nine Swords, and immediately discovered the flaw in Qin Mengyao's answer.
"Buddha is everywhere?" Yang Qingyuan suddenly asked.
"Buddha is everywhere." Qin Mengyao didn't understand what Yang Qingyuan meant, but still answered
"Buddha knows everything?"
"Buddha knows everything!"
"Buddha is omnipotent?" Yang Qingyuan asked again.
"Buddha is omnipotent." Qin Mengyao replied again.
All the monks had a bad premonition, but they didn't know what Yang Qingyuan wanted to do.
Facts have proved that their hunch was quite accurate.
"In that case..." Yang Qingyuan opened the folding fan in his hand with a chuckle on his face, "Can the Buddha create a stone that he cannot move himself?"
Qin Mengyao subconsciously wanted to speak, but suddenly she was stunned. She tried to open her lips several times, but it was like a fish blowing bubbles, without making any sound.
The master concubine Xuan on the side also had her eyebrows furrowed and seemed to be deep in thought, leaving only the confused monks.
"Is this question difficult?! Why don't the two senior sisters say anything!"
"Is there any profound Buddhist teaching in this question?"
"Brother, can the Buddha create stones that he cannot move?"
"Of course I can. My Buddha is omnipotent, has great wisdom, and has great supernatural powers. Is there anything I can't do?!"
When the young novice heard his brother's answer, he hesitated for a moment and then touched his shaved head, "But since the Buddha is omnipotent, why can't he even move a stone?"
"Ah this?!" Senior brother was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.
Suddenly someone in the crowd of onlookers gave a high-five and said, "I understand, then Buddha cannot create stones that he cannot move."
The little novice monk glanced at the person who spoke, "Brother Guangxin, this is wrong! Buddha is obviously omniscient and omnipotent, why can't he create a stone that he can't move?!"
The senior brother named Guangxin lowered his clenched fists when he saw the innocent appearance of the little novice monk.
Because of this issue, there was a lot of discussion among the monks.
Jing Nian Zen's fifth year also had a look of surprise on his face. When he looked at Yang Qingyuan again, he was already full of fear.
Just a simple question has shaken the hearts of many disciples in Jing Nian Zen Sect. This man is really terrifying and must not be left behind!
How did he come up with this question? This simply did not give Shi Feixuan and Qin Mengyao any way to answer.
Because whatever they say is wrong, unless Qin Mengyao can take back what she just said and admit that Buddha is not omniscient and omnipotent.
The question "Can the Buddha create a stone that he cannot move?" is adapted from a well-known paradox in Blue Star, called the "God Paradox".
The God Paradox means "God is not omnipotent." The Holy See of Blue Star published a book that used the most popular mathematical inference at the time to derive "God is omnipotent."
A wise man asked tit for tat: "Can God create a stone that he cannot move?" If the Holy See answers yes, then God cannot move the stone he created, so God is not omnipotent. If the Holy See answers
If you say no, then God cannot create a rock that he cannot move, so God is not omnipotent. From this, the wise man derived that "God is not omnipotent."
As for the ending of this wise man, you can imagine it. Sometimes being too smart is really not a good thing.
…
A paradox is a paradox because it can never have an answer unless the original assumptions are overturned.
But Buddha is everywhere, omniscient, and omnipotent. This is one of the basic teachings of Buddhism and cannot be shaken.
Therefore, for a long time to come, the monks of Jing Nian Monastery will be trapped in this paradox and unable to extricate themselves.
The God Paradox is of course not just a trick used for debate, but also a problem in political science.
If an institution is required to have omnipotent legal rights, then the institution cannot restrain itself; if an institution is required to restrain itself, then it cannot have omnipotent legal rights.
Therefore, it seems that either we can only establish a kind of government agency, which although lacks self-restraint, has always been able to adjust the law to adapt to reality in the long historical process; or it can only ensure the self-restraint of government agencies, but such a law
It cannot be adjusted flexibly according to reality.
These two government agencies are also far apart on the blue star of later generations, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
