"As a teacher, this is an uncontrollable decision!" Tang Seng sighed again.
"There is no way? Master, you don't have to worry at that time. As long as we take action, we can get back the wordless scriptures and the scriptures we have now. Is there anything else I can do?" Sun Wukong said disdainfully.
.
"Wukong, my master said not to be too violent. Fighting and killing are always not good. Besides, this matter is not that simple!" Tang Monk said to Sun Wukong speechlessly.
"Okay, Master, just tell me, I, Sun, will just listen." Sun Wukong stopped talking.
"Having said this, you also understand a little bit. Giving the personnel to the teacher means that there are still things in the teacher's heart that cannot be let go. It has not been fully understood and needs to be experienced. That's why the personnel are given and the words are obtained.
True scripture."
"Master, I know what you want to ask. Why should we have a true scripture with words instead of a true scripture without words? This question is very simple."
"My master takes those scriptures back to show them to others, not just to me alone. I can understand the wordless scriptures, but what about others? They can read the wordless scriptures."
"?" Tang Monk asked Sun Wukong how many people there were.
The answer is no. Even if he is enlightened, he can't see it, let alone those mortal monks!
"Master, even if this is the case, we can get two kinds of scriptures, why do we have to only have the true scriptures with words?" Zhu Bajie asked.
"There is only one set of scriptures, and a second set will never be given! Otherwise, would Ananda Bodhisattva still need to be tested as a teacher?" Tang Monk said.
"Actually, I have now figured out the matter of giving people favors. This is a rule of the Buddha. If you want the true scriptures, you need to give others favors. Otherwise, it will be difficult to obtain the true scriptures."
"My master now understands that if you want to get the true scriptures with words, you must give people help. This is another truth that the Buddha taught me when I was discussing Buddhism with the Buddha that day. The true scriptures should not be passed down lightly."
"If you want to get the written scripture, you must give out the personnel. This is reasonable and compliant!" Tang Monk explained to Sun Wukong and others.
"What kind of breaking of the rules is this? We have worked so hard to get here, but we still use the Buddha stickers in our hands in exchange. Why do we need to give people favors? It's really ridiculous!" Sun Wukong said excitedly and angrily.
"In fact, it is not the fault of the Buddha for making such a decision. In fact, in the temples below us, all believers who want to copy Buddhist scriptures need to give merit, otherwise they will not be able to enter the Sutra Pavilion. This can be regarded as a way for the temple to
Money’s way.”
"It's the same thing as a teacher here. It's impossible for Daleiyin Temple to pass down Buddhist scriptures for free like this. This requires personnel!"
"Furthermore, I have heard of something before. An enlightened holy monk came to Daleiyin Temple to ask for Buddhist scriptures. In the end, he gave three inches and three liters of rice grains of gold. Even so, the Buddha felt that he was being disrespectful.
Selling their Buddhist scriptures.”
"When I heard about this, I thought it was a misinformation and an attempt to smear the Buddha. Now it seems that that may not be true."
"So abominable!? Master, you are their loyal believers. It is you who have allowed their Buddhism to flourish. What is wrong with giving a set of Buddhist scriptures? To accept such a heavy gift, they are obviously too stingy."
"Master, I think it is necessary for you to think carefully about whether to join Buddhism in the future. This is very important for your future growth. You need to think about it carefully!" Sun Wukong said at this time, not forgetting to add obstacles to Buddhism.
After listening to Sun Wukong's words, Tang Monk gently shook his head.
He knew what Sun Wukong meant by saying this, but he did not answer Sun Wukong. He had basically made his decision now.
It's just that he didn't tell Sun Wukong and others about his decision.
"We don't care about this now, Wukong. We will talk about this later as a teacher. You will know it soon." Tang Monk said with a smile.
Sun Wukong was a little unwilling to get Tang Seng's decision, but Tang Seng had already made a decision in his heart, and he no longer added any trouble.
"But Master, even if you want to give someone a favor, you don't have to give the purple gold alms bowl away, right? That is your favorite spiritual treasure. It was given to you by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. There is no need to insist on giving it away." Sha
Wu Jing suddenly asked.
"Yes, Master, we all had other acquired spiritual treasures at that time. There was no need to give away the most valuable and precious things in your body. Wouldn't it be enough to just give out the personnel? You don't have to do that, right?" Zhu Bajie also said
He said without understanding.
"What do you think? Wukong, do you think it is necessary for me to do that as a teacher?" Tang Monk did not answer Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie, but asked Sun Wukong as a teacher.
"Master, this should be another test, right?" Sun Wukong thought for a while and asked.
Zhu Bajie and the others looked at Sun Wukong at first. After hearing what Sun Wukong said, they quickly looked at Tang Seng, wanting to know if this was the answer.
"Wukong, you understand clearly. Yes, this is also a test." Tang Seng lowered his head slightly and said. Then he slowly raised his head and said again.
"This is the answer that Bodhisattva Ananda, or perhaps Medicine Buddha, wants to teach me, to see if I can let go of my delusions and obsessions."
"Among them, the Buddha wanted me to get rid of greed, anger, ignorance and other taboo thoughts in my body, so that I could become a Buddha more perfectly!"
"After giving the purple gold alms bowl to the teacher, it also proves that the teacher can sweep away all the greed, anger and ignorance in the body, and it proves that the teacher is the most suitable for cultivating Buddhism!"
"Even now, I can feel that my soul has been further sublimated. This is one of the benefits of giving the purple gold alms bowl to my teacher."
"Master, if you don't have any thoughts in your body, what's the point of cultivating such a Buddha?" Sun Wukong asked.
Now Sun Wukong has more or less guessed which sect Tang Monk wants to join in the future, and what he just said was his unwilling question.
"Wukong, everyone has their own ideas, everyone has their own path they want to take, and the path I want to take is the path I want to take now, do you understand?" Tang Monk said slowly.
"Master, you are a human being, and you have thoughts as a human being. Unless you want to abandon your human identity, it will be difficult for you to become a Buddha!" Sun Wukong said.
"Master knows this, but I want to give it a try and become a Buddha directly without giving up my identity as a human being!" Tang Seng insisted.
Tang Seng made it so clear that Sun Wukong had no reason to target Tang Seng, so he had to give up.
"Master, I hope you will succeed, but I still advise you to think about it carefully. I hope you can choose carefully!"
"Wukong, I didn't even persuade you to give up your revenge against Buddhism, and you can't persuade me to make your decision today. As you said, you don't know what happened to me. These are all unknown. Master
I want to give it a try." Tang Seng said solemnly.
Sun Wukong looked deeply at Tang Seng, who did not give in, which made Zhu Bajie and the others think that something was going to happen.
"Then I will take a good look at your results, Master!" Sun Wukong said in a concession.
"Wukong, my teacher is number one in Buddhism!" Tang Monk said confidently.
When Tang Monk said these words, Sun Wukong and others all learned the scriptures.
There is something different about Tang Seng today. The pedantry in him is completely gone. It seems that only confidence is left!
Such changes made Sun Wukong and others find it incredible.
