BXBX NOVEL Chapter 476
The direction of development would be different in different environments.
Since that’s the case, I’ll have to tell you what Mahayana Dharma is. Yes, it’s the Mahayana Dharma that I understand myself ... Xu Qi ‘an said in a deep voice, ”
“Therefore, in the eyes of all Buddhist disciples, Buddha is Buddha, and not Buddha is Buddha. In my opinion, this kind of thinking is simply ridiculous.”
This sentence was said in a tongue-twisting manner. Other than the Buddhist monks outside, no one else understood.
“What’s so funny? you have to explain it clearly,” jingchen could not help but say.
Master du ‘e glanced at him and didn’t say anything. He looked away and looked at Xu Qi’ an again.
“Of course it’s funny. Let’s take the astrologers as an example. A supervisor is a first-grade Warlock, but a first-grade Warlock isn’t a supervisor. But in the eyes of you Buddhists, a Buddha is a Buddha. Isn’t that ridiculous and strange?
“Shouldn’t Buddha represent a Supreme position and not just a person?”
These words were really treasonous. Buddha was the founder of Buddhism, the only Buddha, and an existence that they had to worship.
Shouldn’t such a high and mighty immortal God be the only Buddha?
However, Xu Qi ‘an’s words did make sense, so the Buddhist monks were unable to refute him.
Xu Qi ‘an continued. so, I have a question for you, master. What is Buddha? is it a way to gain power, or is it an idea? ”
Master du ‘E’s face was still serious, but there was no anger in his eyes. Instead, he thought seriously for a moment and said, “”Both.”
“That’s why I said that this is the difference between Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism.” Xu Qi ‘an said with certainty.
The monks looked at each other, feeling uncomfortable. They wanted to hear Xu Qi ‘an’s theory in one breath.
On the eight trigrams stage of the stargazing tower, the supervisor’s eyes were wide open as he muttered, “”This bastard, he dares to say anything. We’re finished, we’re finished ....”
“Supervisor, what did you say?” Emperor Yuan jing asked.
“Your Majesty, Xu Qi ‘an has a big gift for you,” the supervisor said with a smile.
Emperor Yuan jing frowned, expressing his confusion.
But the supervisor did not answer him.
Wei Yuan stood up slowly, his hands clenched into fists under his sleeves. He seemed to have thought of something.
“Amazing ...”
Chief advisor Wang said in a low voice.
Powerful? Miss Wang looked over in surprise. She wanted to ask, but seeing her father’s focused attitude, she could only swallow her doubts.
“In the current Buddhism, strength is respected and grade is the root. The goal of every Buddhist cultivator is to achieve the fruit realm, be it Arhat or Bodhisattva. To put it bluntly, it was to measure oneself. As for the divine intervention, it’s still at the back. Master du ‘e, am I right?”
Master du ‘e was silent for a long time, and he put his hands together.
This was a silent agreement.
therefore, with power as respect, grade as the root, and Buddha as Buddha, I call this Hinayana Buddhism. Xu Qi ‘an looked at the sky and said, ”
“Master du ‘e, eminent monks, am I right?”
“If this is Hinayana Buddhism, then what is Mahayana Buddhism?” a monk retorted. Is this what you meant by all living beings are Buddhas? This is absurd.”
“You think it’s absurd because you’re cultivating Hinayana Buddhism. In essence, you’re still respected by grade. But what if one’s heart is the most important?”
“Respect the heart?”
Master du ‘e chanted the name of Buddha and put his hands together, “”Almsgiver, please enlighten me.”
“You think that there is only one Buddha in the world and that Buddha is Buddha. However, humans can not become Buddha and can only cultivate to the Bodhisattva or Arhat realm. However, don’t forget, was Buddha born a Buddha?” Xu Qi ‘an said, ”
“I think that everyone has a Buddhist nature, but they are just confused by the foul air of the mortal world. However, after cultivation, everyone can become a Buddha by seeing themselves.
“Master, nature is Buddha!”
BOOM!
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, followed by the faint sound of Sanskrit.
Everyone was shocked to find that master du ‘E’s body was shimmering with golden light, echoing with the phenomenon of heaven and earth.
In Buddhism, this was enlightenment.
Seeing nature is Buddha, seeing nature is Buddha ... Master du ‘e was immersed in a wonderful state, as if he was drunk.
A voice was screaming in his heart, “Why is Buddha Buddha Buddha? why can’t I be Buddha?
No, everyone could become a Buddha.
This Buddha was not the Buddha of the cultivation system, but the Buddha of the heart.
Xu Qi ‘an’s words might seem reasonable to outsiders, but to master du’ e, who had been practicing Buddhism for many years, it was simply deafening.
Was strength really the only thing that mattered to Buddha?
Could a Buddha really only be a Buddha?
How narrow was this?
If that was the case, then the light of Buddha shining on the nine regions was just an empty statement. Only when everyone could become a Buddha could the nine regions truly be illuminated by the light of Buddha.
This was the true Dharma.
Buddha represented the peak of Buddhism, but Buddhism should not be limited to Buddha.
The concept of Mahayana Buddhism had appeared, and a new school of thought had appeared ...
...
..........
The other monks didn’t have any sudden enlightenment, but they had their own perceptions. They even felt that they were suddenly enlightened and had glimpsed different Dharma and a new realm of thinking.
Among them, master jingchen was deeply touched and intoxicated.
In the watchman’s area, the gongs suddenly heard a low laugh from Wei Yuan who had just walked out of the pergola.
“It’s good to have an epiphany, it’s good to have an epiphany!” Wei Yuan said word by word.
“Wonderful, wonderful!” Chief advisor Wang stroked his beard and smiled.
What did that mean? What’s so funny about these two powerful ministers? is it something to be happy about when master du ‘e has an epiphany?
