My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 503: The Swirling World (can be used as an extra)
"I heard people say that you are proficient in divination, knowledgeable in Yili, and can predict major events in the next hundred years."

In the large room of the Chu Kingdom's Villa, a venerable man was sitting cross-legged on a banquet.

This man has an upright appearance and a tall crown. Although he is old, he is both majestic and kind.

An ordinary person would know at a glance that this person was extraordinary.

Today, Fusu was wearing white dark clothes and sitting opposite him, meeting this person with the etiquette of receiving a teacher.

The person in front of Fusu was none other than Duke Nan of Chu.

"I have heard about the name of the Crown Prince of Qin for a long time. Now that I meet him, it is indeed different from what everyone thinks."

Fusu looked at Chu Nan Gong, with a sense of excitement in his eyes that ordinary people would feel when they see a big pile of gold, "It's different from what everyone thinks...Every word Mr. said is exquisite."

"The prince is looking for me. What do you want to ask?"

Chu Nan Gong's expression was very calm, and his eyes seemed to be closed.

The surrounding guards all looked at Fusu and Chu Nan Gong looking at each other. One was a very knowledgeable military strategist from Chu State, and the other was the crown prince of Qin State who shone like the rising sun.

But there is a faint floral fragrance in the air.

And the two people did not confront each other after meeting as everyone expected, and have a high-pitched and eloquent debate.

Both of them were very calm, just like when early spring has just arrived, everything is sprouting and everything is in its original state.

Fusu called Duke Nan of Chu because he really had questions to ask him. Recently, Fusu discovered something that he didn't believe existed, but ordinary knowledgeable scholars could not answer his questions.

Fusu's cheeks puffed up and his eyes were stern, "I heard that most talented people in the world are not afraid of death. Sir, when facing me, you don't show due respect at all. Is it because you are not afraid of death?"

Chu Nan Gong opened his eyes slightly. He looked at the prince of Qin with a special temperament in front of him, and guessed a thing or two about his purpose.

Chu Nan Gong was also unambiguous and went straight to the point.

"Death is just a state of being. And fear is just a feeling. The two have nothing to do with each other. It's just that people, because of their ignorance, always like to connect these two unrelated things."

"I know what death is, and I know what fear is, and I also know that there is no real relationship between the two. So in this case, can the prince still say that I am afraid of death?"

The people following Fusu were all knowledgeable people. They all looked sideways after hearing this.

Fusu couldn't help but sigh, "Sir, you are worthy of being an expert."

Chu Nan Gong said again, "In this world, there are no great people and no dwarves. Those are all the prejudices of the world. The prejudices of the world are my own views. My views are obsessed with myself."

"Because of the attachment to the self, we have a discriminating mind towards everything in the world. Because of the discriminating mind, there are nobility and inferiority, superiority and inferiority. All things are originally one, but people have to separate them all. The more they are divided, the more distinguished they are. The less you understand, the more divided you become.”

Few people present could understand what Chu Nan Gong said this time.

Fusu asked, "I know that your husband has also read the Diamond Sutra, so I came here today to ask whether such a book can bring peace to some people in the world who hope to seek liberation."

Duke Nan of Chu actually bowed to Fusu and said, "The classics written by the prince are a life-saving magic weapon for the world, which is worth all the books of sages and sages in the world put together."

Fusu shook his head, "This book was not written by me. It was written by a prince from a country in the far south of this land. He gave up his fame, power, and status and became an ascetic, finally proving the supreme righteousness. Sleep."

"The so-called supreme enlightenment means that there is a supreme truth between heaven and earth. The fact that Mr. Sir was able to say those words just now shows that he has already understood this sutra very deeply." "Coincidentally, in that person's name There is also a word for "南".

Chu Nan Gong opened his eyes wide and continued, "Cunning. Cunning. Cunning. I really don't have any way to find it, but my heart is at peace and I have nowhere to live. In this world, everything is like a dream."

"The water bubble will perish soon, but this does not mean that the water bubble does not exist. It is just that for the universe, it is too small and short-lived after all."

"As for human life and Buddha's life, they are actually the same. They are very ordinary. Buddha is not what the world imagines. Buddha himself is very ordinary. He eats like a human, sleeps like a human, and undresses like a human. It's just the Buddha's The mind can always be at peace, and the Buddha’s mind will never be persistent (attachment).”

Fusu Surong said, "What you said is very true. You can see that you have read the general idea. In fact, there is nothing you can get from studying Buddhism. The Buddha just told people not to seek the truth through some wrong ways."

"And this is what I'm worried about. I'm afraid that when these scriptures are spread throughout the world, no one is willing to understand the true meaning of the books. On the contrary, people with ulterior motives will definitely shape them according to their own desires and intentions. A golden statue comes to supply and worship.”

"There is really no Buddha that can be seen in this way. What people shape is the desire in their hearts, and what they worship is only their own desire."

"Among these thousands of people, there will be people who have done wrong things because of stupid people. They have not attained the Buddha Dharma and have not seen the Buddha. Therefore, many people in the world deny the Buddha."

"People will have many questions and doubts. Since there once was a Buddha in the world, why did he not relieve their suffering? Why were there so many wars in the world and so many innocent people died? The Buddha did not take action and the gods were indifferent. "

"Similarly, the world will also have another doubt. Since there is a Buddha in the world, why can't I see this Buddha? The world will doubt the images enshrined in temples, and even deny the real Buddha. The world believes in their own eyes. , I haven’t seen something, how can you say it exists?”

"So in the future, among these millions of people, there will be even fewer people who can truly understand Buddhism."

Duke Nan of Chu bowed and said, "Yes, yes, what you said is right, Prince. The future will definitely be like this. So, Prince, your question is, since the harm outweighs the benefits, should this Buddha be enshrined?" , and should Buddhism be taught?”

Fusu raised the scroll in his hand, "I wrote this book originally using the things of Sakyamuni. I just hope that in the future, someone can read, explain, and uphold what this book says about how to be a human being. The way to deal with the world is to abandon wrong views, maintain correct views, and return to the origin.”

"Even if I can't attain the Great Dao, I can still heal the scars in my soul in this age of materialistic desires. In this way, I can be considered worthy of reading and reciting the Diamond Sutra in this life."

"Speaking of which, when Sakyamuni attained the Great Dao, he never intended to write a book called the Diamond Sutra. It was his disciples who saw that their master had attained supreme enlightenment and hoped that he would You can help them, and you can also help other people in the world.”

"Otherwise, he would realize it alone and leave; but in this chaotic world, which is inherently imperfect and imperfect, inherently unfair and unjust, there are still so many people suffering."

"The disciples asked the Buddha repeatedly, and the Buddha told him many wrong paths that should not be taken when pursuing the truth, as well as wrong methods and wrong understandings. Then the disciples compiled it into a book and named it the Diamond Sutra."

"This book is not that mysterious to begin with. It's just that Sakyamuni said some of the simplest and most common truths. But the desires in people's hearts imagine it as a book that gives them boundless power as long as they read it."

"This book is highly praised, but in fact it is just that it has been translated everywhere over the years, coupled with the manipulation of people's desires, which has long ago changed the book beyond recognition in the minds of the world."

"Because I have experienced the infinite magic from this book and have actually read it, I believe it can really help people. So I wrote this book in the hope that a few more people can understand the truth."

"I have also asked why people in the world don't want to believe in the Dharma, just because they have no realization and no gain. But the Buddha had already said at that time that after reading the Diamond Sutra, there is nothing that can be gained, and no one can gain it. Being crossed.”

"Everyone cannot save anyone by himself, but others can save him/herself. Buddha cannot save sentient beings at all. Living beings can save themselves by themselves, and they can understand their own minds and see their nature."

"For example, everyone wants to pursue fame and fortune, but that is all driven by desire. Does fame and fortune actually exist? Of course it does! It's just that it's just for a moment, it doesn't exist at all."

"In future generations, there will be people who spread heresy and wrong views everywhere. They say that fame, fortune and wealth are all in vain."

"And emptiness is a concrete thing that exists, so there is no way to use emptiness to explain fame and wealth."
