"Wukong, Bajie, do you feel it?" Tang Seng woke up this day and asked.
"Master, what do you mean, I don't understand?" Sun Wukong didn't know what Tang Monk meant.
"I don't understand either, Master. If you ask this question so confusingly, I really can't understand what you want to say." Zhu Bajie said.
"It is so difficult for me to discuss Buddhism in Miaokong Temple. The monks here have such high level of Buddhist practice? You have also seen how powerful I am at Miaolian Temple, but in Miaokong Temple, I am evenly matched.
.If it hadn’t been for my master’s good understanding of the expedient methods of Mahayana Buddhism, I might not have been able to win all the people in Miaokong Temple. This is incredible and makes me very excited.” Tang Monk said slightly excitedly.
At this time, Tang Monk had obtained the last Buddha sticker.
The day after discussing Buddhism at Miaolian Temple, Tang Monk and his disciples left Miaolian Temple and headed for their next destination.
When discussing Buddhism in Zhuankong Temple, which had the 80th Buddha sticker, Tang Monk spent six hours and four hours talking to everyone in Zhuankong Temple speechless.
Then he spent two hours preaching Buddhism to everyone in Zhuankong Temple, reaching Dzogchen and receiving the 80th Buddha sticker.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Monk and his disciples couldn't hold back their excitement and immediately set off towards the location of their last Buddha sticker, arriving at the current Miaokong Temple.
Just yesterday, Tang Monk and everyone at Miaokong Temple had a ten-hour intense discussion about Buddhism.
At first, Tang Seng thought of using Hinayana Buddhism to convince the people in Miaokong Temple, but the people in Miaokong Temple were not as weak as Tang Seng thought.
Their cultivation of Hinayana Buddhism was even better than that of Tang Seng, and they once chased Tang Seng to the edge of a cliff.
In the end, Tang Monk had no choice but to use Mahayana Buddhism. Only then did he win yesterday's discussion on Buddhism and get the last Buddha sticker!
However, this kind of thing made Tang Seng very confused and had great doubts about his own Buddhist practice.
Because of this, Tang Seng, who slept all day, kept thinking about this problem after waking up.
After I fully recovered and had lunch, I started asking Sun Wukong and the others.
Faced with Tang Seng's question, Sun Wukong and others didn't know how to answer Tang Seng.
Sun Wukong really didn’t know how to answer Tang Monk’s question, and his understanding of Buddhism had always been very one-sided.
Although Zhou Cheng introduced some things about Buddhism, it was obvious that Zhou Cheng taught him no way to answer Tang Monk, so he could only remain silent.
Zhu Bajie seemed to have thought of something, but he didn't seem to have it. He was thinking hard.
Needless to say, Sha Wujing has always been very quiet and will not speak unless necessary!
At this time, Wu Ming suddenly spoke up in this quiet environment.
"Master, if this is a question, I may know the answer."
"Wu Ming, are you serious? Tell me why?" Tang Seng asked quickly.
Although Tang Seng didn't care much about the level of his Buddhist practice, in the past few years, no one except the Tathagata Many Treasures had been able to stop them for such a long time, so he had no choice but to win the debate on Buddhism as if in a competition.
, which made Tang Seng feel a little shameful.
"There are so many reasons. I don't think that people have been practicing Buddhism for countless times longer than you. They are already familiar with the part of their own practice. They are very knowledgeable and can explain it any way they want."
"With all the people in Miaokong Temple, they have almost a complete collection of Hinayana Buddhist scriptures. Of course, they can compare with your Buddhist practice, Master!" Wu Ming said very calmly.
"That's not a lot to say, right? Master, along the way, every monk he has faced has not practiced Buddhism for as long as Master, so why can't they persist under Master for such a long time!?" Zhu Bajie asked.
"Second Senior Brother, except for Xiniu Hezhou, the temples and monks in the other three continents all became monks on the way. They value Buddhism as a way to improve their cultivation, but rarely value Buddhism itself, and their cultivation of Buddhism has also fallen behind."
"Master is extremely talented. It took him a short time to understand the Buddhist scriptures thoroughly. There is nothing to say about being able to win against them!" Wu Ming explained.
"Even if what you said is right, what about the situation we encountered in Hezhou, Xiniu? Not to mention Jinyan Temple and Jinlang Temple, even in Miaolian Temple, they are not very advanced in Buddhism."
"What's more, the quasi-sages in Mahayana Buddhism are not as powerful as the master in Buddhism. Why do you think this is?" Zhu Bajie asked.
"Second Senior Brother, this question is easy to explain. Let's talk about Mahayana Buddhism first."
"Second Senior Brother, you should know very well that Mahayana Buddhism itself has been established. Perhaps the current disciples of Mahayana Buddhism above Daluo Jinxian are half-way cultivators of Buddhism. They used to be our senior brothers and are one of the pillars of Taoism."
"Some of these people were born earlier than Second Senior Brother. Apart from the Many Treasures Tathagata Buddha, there are some people who you need to call Second Senior Brother when you meet them. They are all half-way cultivators of Buddhism, and their cultivation is strong.
Most of their time is usually spent cultivating their Dharma, and studying Buddhist scriptures may take up very little of their time, so their Dharma cultivation will not be as good as Master. This is my personal understanding, but I think it is of great reference value."
"Let's talk about Miaolian Temple. We all know that whether we are cultivating power or practicing Taoist scriptures and Buddhist scriptures, being able to hear the sermons and Buddhist teachings of saints has a very great effect on us. Although Miaolian Temple
We are also in Hezhou, Xiniu, but I think the number of times they have heard saints preach about Buddhism is very limited, and their understanding of Buddhism is not that deep."
"And after Master received the guidance of the Buddha Many Treasures Tathagata, both Hinayana Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism have been greatly improved. It is not surprising to take them down. Even I think it is very reasonable."
"But now, we are at Miaokong Temple, very close to our destination, Leiyin Temple on Mount Sumeru. I think everyone in Miaokong Temple has the opportunity to listen to the saint's lectures on Buddhism, so their understanding of Buddhist scriptures is so good.
Only with great transparency can you compete with Master."
"This is my understanding, and it may be the truth." Wu Ming explained with a smile.
Wu Ming's words made Tang Seng and the others fall into deep thought.
Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie were really taking Wu Ming's words seriously, while Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing were just simply closing their eyes to rest.
Sun Wukong himself rarely pays attention to Buddhism. When he hears Buddhism, all he thinks of is violence and doesn’t want to pay so much attention!
As for Sha Wujing, he only needs to do a good job in security, and don't look at him for things that use his brain.
The room was quiet for a long time before Tang Seng woke up from his thoughts, looked at Wu Ming and said.
"Wu Ming, according to what you said, in addition to Buddha, there should be many people with profound Dharma in Buddhism?"
"Master, this is for sure. No matter how low their understanding of the Dharma is, if they are close to the saints and listen to the saints preaching about Buddhism so many times, the Dharma will not be too low. All of them are profound people in the Dharma. I think they are different from Master.
It will be much different!" Wu Ming said clearly.
"If this is the case, then our previous ideas were completely wrong!" Tang Seng sighed.
