Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 422 Zen Bodhidharma

Zhu Qi and Kui Niu headed south.

One day!

The two of them passed by a city to rest, and suddenly saw a monk in the city gathering a crowd to preach! I saw that the monk looked miserable, but his brows showed compassion, making him look like a virtuous and eminent monk.

The two of them were very curious when they saw the lively scene in the city!

In recent years, Buddhism has competed with many forces in Nanfangbuzhou. Therefore, it is not surprising to meet a monk preaching in Nanfanbuzhou. What is surprising is the people in the city's belief in this monk.

In Nanfanbuzhou, Buddhism is a foreign sect, which is not as good as Taoism and Chanjiao that have been passed down for countless years! Taoism and Chanjiao are deeply rooted in Nanfanbuzhou. Even the expansion of Jiejiao in Nanfanbuzhou actually relied on the influence of Taoism and Chanjiao!

After all, most of the Xuanmen forces in Nanfanbuzhou will worship the Xuanmen Sanqing. Therefore, Nanfanbuzhou is no stranger to the Shangqing saints who intercepted the religion.

And Buddhism is really a foreign sect, with no foundation at all in Nanfangbuzhou! It is extremely rare for a preaching monk from an outside sect to be able to manage such a situation in this city.

Zhu Qi and Kui Niu were very curious about how wise this monk was to convince the people!

This monk's name is Bodhidharma, although he is not well-known in the world of immortals. However, in Zhu Qi's previous life, that strange earth world, Bodhidharma's reputation was extremely loud.

Since Bodhidharma left Xiniuhezhou and entered Nanfanbuzhou, he has been walking around the world in rags and doing asceticism along the way. He possesses profound Zen practice skills. He walks alone in the streets and alleys, walks in the mountains and forests all year round, working silently, and strives to pass on his inner practice and thoughts.

Zen is a very special sect of Buddhism. Zen Buddhism neither follows conventional teachings nor abides by the rules and regulations of the world. All it requires is direct commitment.

When discussing behavior, the heart is the norm; when discussing life and death, sex is the basis. Therefore, Zen Buddhism is the study of understanding one's mind and nature, or a teaching that "teaches externally and does not establish written texts". Since the purpose of Zen is to understand the mind and see its nature, there is no trace of the nature of the mind, so the method of "clearing" and "seeing" is like an antelope hanging its horns, which also has no trace.

However, Zen Buddhism usually communicates with the public, and it seems to have thousands of processes, and there are opportunities everywhere. This is to respond to teachings at random, and Zen is everywhere. It also means that our human nature can occur according to feelings and circumstances. Whether it is a stick or a tacit suggestion, it all comes according to the mood of the mind, or it can be adjusted according to the opportunity of the time and place.

Bodhidharma can be admired by the people not because he shows his cultivation and eliminates disasters for the people.

Rather, it is the truth that comes out of his mouth when he preaches!

For example: "There is no good or evil in people, good and evil exist in your heart."; "Don't do any evil, and practice all the good."; "With less desire, you will have less trouble." etc.! These principles make people enlightened and encourage people to do good. They are indeed rare good methods!

Although ordinary people do not recognize Buddhism, they know the good and the bad!

Of course, for Bodhidharma to have such a reputation, in addition to teaching the people with good words, he also had to practice hard for more than ten years!

People with great perseverance are highly respected no matter where they are!

If you can do something that I can't do, and you can continue to do it, I naturally admire you.

Looking at Bodhidharma showing compassion, Zhu Qi pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth.

There are still 649 disciples of Jiejiao who are stranded in Buddhism. The planning this time fell on Bodhidharma.

Although it is true that Bodhidharma is a great monk, Zhu Qi does not have a good impression of Buddhism. Whether it was the earth in the previous life or Zhu Qi in this life, they were all born into the human race. Not to mention Zhu Qi’s three-corpse clone ‘Martial Ancestor’, a powerful human race!

The human race can rise up in a desperate situation and grow into the protagonist of the world, relying on the spirit of perseverance and courage to pioneer.

Although Buddhism also has teachings that guide people to be good, the majority of Buddhism's teachings are still about accepting one's fate. For monks, it is not a bad thing to understand the various aspects of life, improve their state of mind, and accumulate merit. This Buddhist teaching is not a bad thing.

However, for the entire human race, the Buddhist teachings of resignation are not so suitable!

There are humans in the entire Earth Immortal World. The reason why the destiny of the human race should be in Nanfangbu Continent. In addition to Nanfangbu Continent being classified as territory by the human race, it is also very important for the human race of Nanfangbu Continent to uphold the spirit of the human race.

Beiju Luzhou belongs to the lineage of human witches. Although it has human protection, it does not carry much human luck. Most of the human beings in Dongsheng Shenzhou are monks and cannot carry much human luck. Xiniu Hezhou has many ordinary people, but The ordinary people in Xiniu Hezhou have been eroded by Buddhist teachings and have lost a lot of their human spirit. Therefore, the fate of the human race in Xiniu Hezhou naturally shifted to Nanfanbu Continent.

Judging from Zhu Qi's thoughts, whether he is on the side of the human race or the Jiejiao, Zhu Qi will not let Buddhism flourish. At least Buddhism cannot flourish so much in Nanfangbuzhou.

The Zen sect where Bodhidharma belongs is extremely suitable for preaching in the human race. Zhu Qi naturally wants to find a way to stop Bodhidharma!

Kui Niu originally didn't care about Bodhidharma. How could a young monk in the heavenly realm be taken seriously by Kui Niu!

However, Zhu Qi's words made Kui Niu's eyes shine, and at the same time he became more determined to win over Zhu Qi. Just a few days after I met Zhu Qi, Zhu Qi had a plan to plot against Buddhism! This efficiency is really amazing!

As the successor of Zen Buddhism, Bodhidharma naturally inherited the destiny of Zen Buddhism. Although Bodhidharma's cultivation level is not high, Bodhidharma's status is not low. Zen Buddhism has not yet flourished, and Bodhidharma's luck has not been revealed yet. Kui Niu really didn't realize that he was careless just now!

However, after being reminded by Zhu Qi, Kui Niu could conclude that Zen Buddhism must be an extremely important lineage cultivated for the great prosperity of Buddhism.

Kui Niu had been thinking about taking advantage of Buddhism and welcoming back the disciples of Jiejiao for thousands of years.

However, Buddhism is not so easy to handle! If it is an ordinary monk, Buddhism will not care at all. After all, the three thousand disciples of Jiejie Sect have a very high status in Buddhism, and they hold the position of Buddha. How can ordinary Buddhist disciples compare! But if you want to calculate the power of Buddhism, let’s not talk about whether Kui Niu has this ability, at least there is no such opportunity.

After thinking about all this, Kui Niu looked at Bodhidharma with increasingly fiery eyes. Bodhidharma's cultivation is not high, his status is extraordinary, and he is extremely important to the future of Buddhism. He is the best target for Kui Niu.

After preaching Buddhism for half a day in the city, Bodhidharma accepted offerings from believers and then walked out of the city to the hills outside the city.

For more than ten years, regardless of wind or rain, severe cold or scorching heat, Bodhidharma would preach Buddhism in the city for half a day every day.

In the past, after preaching the Dharma every day, Bodhidharma would beg for food in the city!

As Bodhidharma's reputation has spread over the years, some believers have begun to take the initiative to make donations, and there is no need for Bodhidharma to beg for food every day.

However, Bodhidharma still insists on meditating in the woods on the hills outside the city every night.

Buddhism emphasizes rebirth, and Bodhidharma had to wallow in the mortal world with the great responsibility of preaching. The woods on the hills outside the city are the pure land in Bodhidharma's heart, which is rebirth.

Bodhidharma, who was targeted by Kui Niu, was destined not to reach the pure land in his heart today!

As soon as Bodhidharma left the city, he was captured by Kui Niu silently.

If he had not scrupled the laws of the human race, Kui Niu would have taken action just now in the city!

If it were normal, Kui Niu would definitely take action in the city where there were no powerful human beings stationed there. But now who lets Zhu Qi, the ‘Martial Ancestor’, keep an eye on Kui Niu? Kui Niu didn't dare to make Zhu Qi unhappy!

Of course, it makes no difference to Kui Niu whether he is in or outside the city, capturing Bodhidharma, a monk in the heavenly realm.
