At the same time, there was silence in the room Blooming Blossoms was in. Everyone looked at Blooming Blossoms as though he was an idiot. Blooming Blossoms's face was flushed red with a hint of blackness. As for the goddess? He didn't even dare look at her. He knew that he had embarrassed himself greatly!
At this moment, the goddess opposite Blooming Blossoms suddenly stood up and said, "Sorry, I'm not feeling too well. I'll be leaving first."
With that said, she gave Blooming Blossoms a look as though he was an idiot before turning to leave. Another girl immediately followed and asked, "Sister Hong, what's wrong?"
"I can't have people with bad morals in my circle of friends. They're willing to throw away their dignity just to be in the limelight. I can't eat with such people … "Her voice wasn't loud, but it could be heard clearly in the silent room.
Blooming Blossoms's face turned even redder. It was unknown if it was from embarrassment or anger.
After Sister Hong and the other girl left, Blooming Blossoms said angrily, "So what if I was joking? How could I … "
The moment he said that, everyone looked at him. One of them, who had always been joking and had a good personality, said seriously for the first time, "Some things can't be joked about. It's fine to joke about it in private, but it's not a joke to say it on Weibo with millions of fans. That's slander, that's slandering, that's provocation! If Abbot Fangzheng and company didn't respond, how many people would have been misled by your words? How many monks would have suffered undeserved calamity? "
With that said, the person stood up and said, "Sorry, I have something to do too. I'll be leaving first."
"Brother Guo, I have something to do too. Let's go together."
"Aiyah, I still have to work overtime."
"My boyfriend is calling me."
…
In just a few minutes, only Blooming Blossoms was left in the bustling room. He sat there in a daze, staring at the boiling hotpot in the middle. He never expected that a single sentence would turn him into a loner … What he couldn't understand was, wasn't it just a single sentence? Wasn't it just Fangzheng? Did everyone have to go that far?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Blooming Blossoms took out his cell phone, and after some thought, he sent the message that Fangzheng hadn't replied to before. He felt that Fangzheng definitely didn't know how to reply to him because he didn't know how to answer him. Now that he took it out, he could at least regain some face. "Kneeling in front of Buddha for three thousand years, yet I never see Buddha show mercy.
Don't say that dust obscures the Buddha's eyes, it's because he hasn't offered incense money.
If Buddha is not greedy, why does he need people to worship him? If Buddha did not love vanity, why would he want people to kneel and worship him?
I have Buddha in my heart, but Buddha has no self. After suffering all the sufferings of the world, he asked the Buddha. Buddha said: Everything has its own destiny. I smiled. Since you can't help me, what's the point of me worshipping you?
The Buddha said to deliver all living beings from suffering, but he didn't see anyone. As the saying goes, 'Only care about one's own body.' Yet, when one is in trouble, one would lend a helping hand.
It was a time of chaos. Buddha: Seal off the mountain gate and ignore the affairs of the world. Tao: Lead the people out of the mountains, practice medicine to save the world; peace and prosperity. Buddha: Deliver all living beings from suffering, enlighten the world. He said, "Return to seclusion in the forest and comprehend the Dao."
The foreign cults corrupt the hearts of the people and collect money and food. He deserved to be punished!
Buddha does not save people, only gild Buddha. He should be destroyed!
I don't see monks chanting sutras, I see bald donkeys wearing gold and silver! "
After this series of attacks, the resentment in his heart was immediately vented, and his heart felt comfortable. However, the instant he sent it out, he thought for a moment and added: "It was a time of chaos. Buddha: Seal off the mountain gate and ignore the affairs of the world. Tao: Lead the people out of the mountains, practice medicine to save the world; peace and prosperity. Buddha: Deliver all living beings from suffering, enlighten the world. " Tao: Retreat to the mountains, study the Dharmic Dharma. He deleted this paragraph to prevent Fangzheng from using his previous words to smack him in the face again. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he sent it out.
When Fangzheng saw this string of words, he was instantly amused. This child really didn't give up!
Venerable One Ingenious said in surprise, "What are these?"
Fangzheng smiled and didn't say a word. Instead, he replied, "You think ignorance is elegant, yet you moan when you are not ill."
When One Ingenious saw this, he laughed. "Haha! Well said. Well said!"
The netizens laughed as well.
"Abbot Fangzheng is being mischievous again. It wasn't easy for this child to learn parallelism. Can't you praise him?"
"The poor child can write now. Everyone, please be more tolerant of him."
"Hehe, this child has really been poisoned by jokes. He's full of jokes, and they're all from others. Doesn't he have anything of his own? "
"Abbot Fangzheng, please retaliate!"
"Abbot Fangzheng, I'm curious as well. How should one answer such a person? Seek answers! "
"Ditto!"
Fangzheng originally didn't plan on harping on the matter, but since everyone had asked, he couldn't just abandon the matter and run away. Hence, he said, "What is Buddha? Buddha is in everyone's heart. Everyone is Buddha. Therefore, praying to Buddha is praying to oneself. If something happens, one has to face it alone. Only by having Buddha in one's heart and having the correct values and beliefs can one forge ahead and succeed. This Penniless Monk was also baffled by that patron's words. He doesn't believe in Buddha, but he prays to Buddha. It's not like he prays to Buddha in his heart, but to a statue. If he fails, he says that Buddha doesn't save him, and he doesn't offer any incense money. Might I ask, if you offer incense money, will Buddha help you? If people don't save themselves, who can?
As for people praying to Buddha, those who truly understand it aren't worshipping statues, but the Buddha in their hearts. The statue in front of them is just a form of spiritual sustenance. It allows them to manifest the Buddha in their hearts into a physical object, allowing them to see their true nature and gain enlightenment, strengthening their beliefs. It's not what he meant by praying to Buddha. Buddha will immediately bless them with a smooth journey after offering incense money. That isn't Buddha, but a lazy demon, a lazy demon!
In Buddhism, to redeem others, one must first redeem oneself. By doing good and using oneself as a role model, one can guide others to do good and help others tide over their sufferings. If everyone in the world is good, it is also redeeming all life. This Penniless Monk has always had a question. Since ancient times, Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism have always been one. There has never been any conflict between them, and instead, they complemented each other and helped each other. Why is it that when it comes to the common people, there are three factions that can't see eye to eye and cause trouble for each other? Patron, can you dispel This Penniless Monk's doubts? "
Many people laughed when they heard that.
"Master Fangzheng, sometimes, the people involved might not have any conflict, but those watching will create countless conflicts. They're afraid that there won't be a show if the two don't fight."
"That's called harboring evil intentions!"
"The actions of a despicable person!"
"Heavenly Lord of the Immeasurable, Abbot Fangzheng is right. Buddhism and Daoism are one family, so why fight over trifles? Abbot Fangzheng, if you have the time, please come to Mount Wudang. "At that moment, an verified account with the username Mount Wudang Daoist Temple left a message.
One Ingenious immediately said, "This is the account of a Perfected One from the Wudang Sect."
Fangzheng nodded slightly and replied respectfully, "Perfected One has invited me. This Penniless Monk will definitely be there when I'm free."
"Venerable One, please welcome me with open arms," said Mount Wudang Daoist Temple.
