Chapter 322

Dhu Lohan put his palms together and said in a voice that sounded like the evening drum and morning bell, "Let go of your worries and have a clear Buddhist heart."

The mad monk seemed to have been hit by a stick. His body froze for a moment before he slowly sat down and meditated with his legs crossed.

His expression was still struggling, but he was no longer as mad as before.

Dhu Lohan retracted his gaze and looked up at the Buddha Mountain Arcane Realm. A rare look of anger appeared on his wrinkled face.

…

He is indeed the obsession of Bodhisattva. I merely mentioned a concept and he seems to have understood it!

The Buddhism of the nine states seems to be based on strength and Buddhahood, followed by Dharma … It may be different from the Hinayana Dharma of my world, but it is definitely inferior to Mahayana Dharma.

At least they don't have the concept of Mahayana Dharma.

Seeing the old monk's dumbstruck expression and seemingly enlightened expression, Xu Qi 'an guessed that he would pass this stage.

"What happened just now? Why did the monk suddenly go mad … "

"Could it be because of what the silver gong said just now?"

"How can a few words have such power? Nonsense. "

Ordinary people had no concept of Mahayana Dharma and Hinayana Dharma, so they were puzzled by the monk's sudden madness.

Not everyone heard what the monk said before he went berserk.

At this moment, the old monk under the Bodhi tree opened his eyes with a smile of enlightenment. Buddhist Aura flowed around him, making him look natural.

"Thank you for enlightening me, benefactor. I have achieved enlightenment." The old monk smiled and put his palms together.

You really achieved enlightenment?! Xu Qi 'an's feelings were complicated. "I didn't expect that I would be able to enlighten an eminent monk with a few words of nonsense …

Before he could reply, the old monk continued, "When Wen Yin was still a fourth-rank ascetic, he wondered why he couldn't become a Buddha.

"This obsession was hidden in his heart for countless years until his lifespan came to an end. He realized that there was only one Buddha in the world, and that was Buddha. So he killed me and attained the Bodhisattva realm.

"I sat in this arcane realm for many years, but I still couldn't figure out how to become a Buddha, and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't."

The old monk stared at Xu Qi 'an as if he could see himself in the far west. Finally, he put his palms together and said to himself,

"I am Buddha, and Buddha is me, Amitabha!"

Wen Yin's obsession was to transcend rank and become someone on par with Buddha.

Now, he finally understood that Buddha had nothing to do with rank.

"Thank you for enlightening me."

"Master, your Dharma is profound. It's not my fault," Xu Qi 'an said sincerely.

His words had the effect of enlightening him, but to be able to comprehend it, it was because this Master of Obsession had accumulated a lot of experience and was suddenly enlightened.

It was just like the few short sentences just now. Ordinary people would not feel anything when they heard it, but Buddhist monks were like evening drums and morning bells. This was because they understood the meaning in an instant and even extended it in their minds to comprehend it.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the secret realm. The old monk turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared to an unknown place.

"Sha ….

The Bodhi Tree swayed gently and actually bore lush green Bodhi Fruits that hung heavily on the branches.

The fruit emitted a sparkling and translucent green light. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary fruit.

There was no sound in the Buddhist land except for the rustling of the Bodhi tree. Outside the Buddhist land, however, it became lively.

The Buddha Realm was silent. Only the rustling of the Bodhi Tree could be heard. Outside the Buddha Realm, it was lively.

If he did not mishear or see wrongly, it was this Lord Silver Gong who enlightened the old monk under the tree. For this, the old monk thanked him gratefully.

A martial artist had given pointers to an eminent monk and even made the eminent monk achieve enlightenment?!

Such an absurd and bizarre scene caused the people of the capital to forget to cheer.

"What did he say?"

On the roof of the restaurant, Chu Yuanzhen asked Master Hengy Yuan.

"Looking at flowers in the fog … Your excellency Xu, speak clearly, speak clearly …" Hengy Yuan turned a deaf ear and murmured to himself.

Did Xu Ningyan's words have such a great influence on the Buddhists? Chu Yuanzhen was stunned.

…

"Is this a success?" Xu Qi 'an was delighted and looked at the green Bodhi Tree reluctantly.

"Let's go to the temple at the top of the mountain!" He said to himself.

Just as Zhang Xuan was about to turn around and leave, a resounding voice echoed throughout the entire Buddha Mountain.

"What is the Mahayana Dharma and what is the Hinayana Dharma? Almsgiver Xu, speak clearly before you leave. "

Outside, everyone looked at Master Du 'e in astonishment. A dignified Arhat actually intervened in the battle between the two of them. This was something that no one had expected.

But at this time, Arhat Du 'e's expression was so serious that it made people feel as if the sky was falling, and they didn't dare to curse.

"What is going on with the Mahayana Dharma and the Hinayana Dharma?"

"I don't understand it at all."

The common people did not understand, but some of the people at the top of the power in the capital could understand something.

For example, Wei Yuan and Wang Shoufu.

"That's Dhu Lohan's voice … The outside world can indeed hear my voice and see my actions, but what's going on with him directly intervening in the fight?"

Xu Qi 'an frowned and snorted coldly. "Master, what is Buddha?"

"Before the Buddha, no one became a Buddha in the 723,368 years. After the Buddha, no one became a Buddha in the 3,491 years. "

"The Buddha is the Buddha. How can anyone become a Buddha!?"

Master Du 'e's voice was filled with questions.

It turned out that the Buddhism in this world had existed for 3,491 years. Why hadn't the Mahayana Dharma appeared yet?

Xu Qi 'an pondered for a moment and came to a conclusion. In the Nine Regions, strength was respected, and the realm was the foundation. Whoever had the bigger fist was the big boss. Therefore, they restrained their thoughts.

In his previous world, everyone was made of flesh and blood. Instead, it was the differences in their thoughts that kept colliding.

The environment was different, and the direction of development was different.

In that case, I'll tell you what the Mahayana Dharma is. Yes, it's the Mahayana Dharma that I understand … Xu Qi 'an said in a low voice,

"Therefore, in the eyes of all the Buddhist disciples in the world, Buddha is Buddha, not the other way around. In my opinion, this idea is laughable. "

This sentence was difficult to pronounce. Other than the Buddhist monks outside, no one else could understand it.

Monk Jing Chen could not help but say, "What's laughable? You have to make it clear."

Master Du 'e glanced at him and did not say a word. He shifted his gaze and looked at Xu Qi' an again.

"Of course it's laughable. Take the Celestial Commissioner's Warlock as an example. The Supervisor is a first-grade Warlock, but a first-grade Warlock is not a Supervisor. That should be a consensus, right? However, in the eyes of Buddhists, Buddha is Buddha. Isn't that laughable and strange?

"Isn't Buddha supposed to represent a supreme position of enlightenment, and not just a single person?"

Those words were treasonous. Buddha was the founder of the Buddhist sect. He was the only Buddha, 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. Therefore, the Buddhist monks could not refute him.

Xu Qi 'an continued, "Therefore, I have a question for you, Master. What is Buddha? Is it a way to obtain power or a way of thinking?"

Master Du 'e's expression was still solemn, but there was no anger in his eyes. Instead, he thought seriously for a moment and said, "It's both."

"That's why I said that this is the difference between the Mahayana Dharma and the Hinayana Dharma," Xu Qi 'an said firmly.

The monks below looked at each other. They felt as if their hearts were being scratched. They wanted to listen to Xu Qi 'an's theory in one go.

On the Eight Trigrams Platform in the Stargazing Tower, the Supervisor widened his eyes and muttered softly, "This bastard dares to say anything. It's over, it's over …"

The Yuanjing Emperor turned around and asked, "Supervisor, what did you say?"

The Supervisor smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Xu Qi 'an has given you a huge gift."

The Yuanjing Emperor frowned in confusion.

However, the Supervisor did not answer him.

Wei Yuan slowly stood up and clenched his fists in his sleeves. He seemed to have thought of something.

"Impressive …"

Wang Shoufu said in a low voice.

Impressive?! Miss Wang looked over in surprise. She wanted to ask, but when she saw her father's focused posture, she could only swallow her doubts.

"At present, the Buddhist Sect respects strength and ranks. The goal of every Buddhist cultivator is to achieve the Fruit Realm, be it Arhat or Bodhisattva. To put it bluntly, it is to redeem oneself. As for the salvation of all living beings, it is ranked behind. Master Du 'e, am I right? "

Master Du 'e was silent for a while and put his palms together.

That was a tacit agreement.

"Therefore, strength is respected, rank is the foundation, and Buddha is the Buddha. I call this the Hinayana Buddhism." Xu Qi 'an looked at the sky and said loudly,

"Master Du 'e, eminent monks of the Buddhist Sect, am I right?"

A monk retorted, "If this is the Hinayana Buddhism, then what is the Mahayana Buddhism? Is this what you mean by all living beings are Buddhas? That's absurd. "

"You might find it absurd because you cultivate in the Hinayana Buddhist Dharma. In essence, you still value grades as the most important. This is self-interest. However, what if the heart is respected? "

"The heart is respected?"

Master Du 'e chanted a Buddhist proclamation and pressed his palms together. "Patron, please enlighten me."

"You think that there is only one Buddha in the world, and that Buddha is the Buddha. It is impossible for humans to become Buddhas. They can only cultivate to become Bodhisattvas or Arhats. But, don't forget, is a Buddha born a Buddha? "Xu Qi 'an spoke with fervor and assurance.

"I think that everyone has a Buddha nature. It's just that they are confused by the filthy Qi of the mortal world. However, after cultivation, they can see themselves and everyone can become Buddhas.

"Master, seeing one's nature is Buddha!"

Boom!

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck the sky, and a faint sound of Sanskrit could be heard.

Everyone was shocked to discover that Master Du 'e's body was shining with golden light, resonating with the phenomenon of heaven and earth.

In Buddhism, that was an epiphany.

Seeing one's nature is Buddha, seeing one's nature is Buddha … Master Du 'e was immersed in a wonderful state.

A voice shouted in his heart, "Why is the Buddha a Buddha? Why can't I be a Buddha?

No, everyone can 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 cultivating Buddhism for many years, it was deafening.

Can Buddha really only respect strength?

Can Buddha really only be Buddha?

How narrow-minded is that?

If that was the case, the Buddha's light would shine on the Nine Regions would be empty talk. Only when everyone could become Buddha would the Nine Regions be truly illuminated.

That was the true Buddhist Dharma.

Buddha represented the peak of the Buddhist system, but the Buddhist Dharma should not be limited to Buddha.

The concept of the Mahayana Dharma had appeared, and a new school of thought had appeared …

…

The other monks did not have an epiphany, but they had their own insights. They even felt enlightened. They had a glimpse of different Buddhist Dharma and a new realm of thought.

Among them, Master Jing Chen felt the most. He was intoxicated.

In the area where the night watchmen were stationed, Jinluo suddenly heard a low laugh. It came from Wei Yuan, who had walked out of the pergola.

"It's a good epiphany. It's a good epiphany!" Wei Yuan said word by word.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Wang Shoufu stroked his beard and smiled.

What did he mean? What was so funny about these two powerful officials? Was Master Du 'e's epiphany something to be happy about?

Although the Buddhists and Daibun were allies, the atmosphere was tense. They were competing with each other and fighting. They were considered half enemies.

The civil and military officials did not think that it was something to be happy about.

At the top of the Stargazing Tower, on the Eight Trigrams Platform.

The Yuanjing Emperor laughed out loud. He had never felt so happy before.

"It's fine if Master Du 'e did not have an epiphany when Xu Qi' an proposed the concept of the Mahayana Dharma. Since he has an epiphany, he will definitely preach the Mahayana Dharma when he returns to the Western Regions.

"And this will definitely cause a conflict between the concepts of the Buddhist Dharma. When the time comes, it will be a light matter if they argue endlessly. Once there is a split … Hahahaha."

He had not laughed so freely in many years.

Only evenly matched enemies could become allies. When one party became stronger and the other party became weaker, they would definitely appear to be united, but at heart, they would be divided.

Daibun and the Buddhists were in such a state now. Daibun's border was being harassed by the Northern and Southern Barbarians, but the Buddhists stood by and watched.

If the Buddhists were to split in the future, both sides would fight for Daibun's support. Daibun could increase its status and benefit from it.

"The Supervisor is right. This is indeed a big gift. Very good. I am very satisfied with this gift from Xu Qi 'an."

In the pergola, many nobles raised their heads in shock and looked at the roof of the Celestial Commissioner's building.

"Is that His Majesty's laughter?!"

"What is His Majesty laughing at? What's so funny about it? It's strange. Duke Wei and Wang Shoufu are so abnormal. His Majesty is also so abnormal."

…

"Mahayana Dharma, Mahayana Dharma …"

Hengy Yuan was intoxicated and muttered to himself, "I can also become a Buddha. Monks can also become a Buddha. Everyone in the world can become a Buddha. Enlighten all living beings and become Buddha. "

"What did the dog servant say?"

Pan Fan opened her eyes wide and looked at Huaiqing. She knew that it was very powerful, but she did not understand it. She could only ask Huaiqing, who was experienced and knowledgeable.

"I don't know what he said, but I know what the consequences will be," Huaiqing said.

"Consequences?" Pan Fan blinked her peach blossom eyes.

"From now on, Buddhism will be divided into the Mahayana Dharma and the Hinayana Dharma." Huaiqing revealed a smile.

At the same time, Xu Erlang explained to the people of Jinluo, "From now on, Buddhism will be divided into the Mahayana Dharma and the Hinayana Dharma."

The people of Jinluo instantly widened their eyes. There was no need to make it too clear. They already knew the meaning behind Xu Xinnian's words.

They also knew why Duke Wei laughed.

Jiang Lvzhong was pleasantly surprised. His voice was very low and trembling with excitement. "This, this, Buddhism is in trouble. What did Xu Ningyan do? What did he do? Hahahaha. "

In just a few words, he divided Buddhism into the Mahayana and the Hinayana Dharma … Xu Ningyan did something amazing … Duke Wei, is this all within your expectations?

The eyes of the ordinary-looking woman instantly lit up. She hated Buddhism. She hated it very much. That was why she deliberately sent a Rank-6 martial artist to compete with Monk Jing Si.

Her goal was to suppress the arrogance of Buddhism.

Unfortunately, her subordinates did not live up to expectations. Not only did they not accomplish anything, but they also became the other party's stepping stone.

Today, she mingled in the night watchman's area to watch the battle. She wanted to join in the fun, but she also wanted to see the Buddhists suffer and see them fail.

Xu Qi 'an had not won yet, but this surprise was enough for the woman to go home and roll in her bed happily.

'He's really capable …' the woman thought.

At this moment, among the nobles, someone slowly digested the mystery. All of them widened their eyes as if they had seen a peerless beauty naked in bed waiting for them.

The surprise and ecstasy were difficult to conceal.

When the civil and military officials looked at Xu Qi 'an again, their gazes were different. Although he was a member of the eunuch's clique and was annoying, they had to admit that he always brought surprises.

With him around, it actually made them feel at ease.
