Jiangye: I am the immortal of this world

Chapter 61 It's hard to argue, if you don't see the Tathagata, what is the Buddhist sect doing?

On the bank of Yanming Lake, there is a wooden debate platform.

Chen Xuan held the wolf hair in his hand and wrote the question of the second debate on the rice paper.

Yu Lian picked up the rice paper, and the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising, as if she was very happy.

Yu Lian lived up to his previous indifference and said: "Today it is difficult to argue, and the second argument is: 'If you don't see the Tathagata, what is the Buddha's sect?'"

When this question came up, it was shocking!

One of the debaters today is Chen Xuan of the Taiping Dao. Although his origin is unknown, he belongs to the Taoist sect.

The second is the son of light in the temple, a proper Taoist disciple of Haotian, and it is really unexpected for Taoist disciples to debate the origins of Buddhism.

On the carriage in the distance, Master Huang Yang said with a smile: "Amitabha, what is the Buddha Sect for?"

He was a monk who came out of the sky pit in the Buddhist sect, so he naturally knew what it meant.

It's just that for thousands of years, who would dare to bring this debate to the table?

Even Master Qishan, didn't he leave Xuankong and go to Lanke Temple?
Li Qingshan let out a long sigh, not knowing what to say, the Buddhist Sect Xuankong Temple is an unknowable place outside the world.

This debate topic was a quarrel with the Buddha Sect, which would inevitably lead to a lot of trouble in the future.
-
On the wooden platform!
After Long Qing was silent for a long time, he said: "If you don't see the Tathagata, what is the Buddha's sect?"

"Chen Daoyou, the Buddhist sect has been established for thousands of years since the Buddha."

"The founder of the Buddhist sect also went to Zhishou to read the Heavenly Book. He must belong to the Haotian Buddhist sect."

"Buddha sect has great virtues, just like Master Lanke Qishan, Master Liansheng, and even Master Quni. Why don't you see Tathagata?"

"If you don't see the Tathagata, why do you have such great virtues and compassion for the world? The Buddha is an enlightened one, so why haven't all the great virtues seen the Tathagata!"

He thought of that gentle woman. It would be great to have a nympho on the long road!
It's just that Aunt Quni of the White Pagoda, even though she is a great virtue of the Buddhist sect, is too jealous.

Chen Xuan sat on the futon, looked at Long Qing who was talking eloquently, and said calmly: "The Tathagata has nowhere to come from and nowhere to go; hence the name Tathagata, the enlightened one."

"All appearances are false. If you see all appearances as non-appearances, then you will see the Tathagata."

"The great virtues that the Son of Light speaks of are all about learning from the Buddha, believing in the Buddha, and worshiping the Buddha."

"The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, so can the Buddha be among all living beings?"

"If there is, what is the Buddha? If not, what should the Buddha be?"

"Bodhi is difficult to prove. The enlightened one realizes it. All conditioned dharmas should be like dreams and bubbles, like dew or electricity, and should be viewed in this way."

"The awakened one wants to realize himself. Bodhi is essentially empty. Why do we need to realize it?"

"The disciples of the Buddhist sect are all walking the path that the Buddha walked, but that is the path of the Buddha, not the path of the disciples of the Buddha."

"Everyone is a Tathagata, but I have never seen a Tathagata!"

Everything in the world has the wisdom to become an enlightened being, but the Tathagata has never been seen.

Therefore, if the Tathagata is not seen, why is the Buddha sect?Why do you educate people when you have never seen the Tathagata yourself? How can you teach people in the world to see the Tathagata?

Long Qing's expression was dignified, and his forehead was covered with sweat. In his early years, he also read Buddhist scriptures thoroughly, and he was equal to all living beings. When the Buddha is in the presence of all living beings, what is the Buddha?

In asking such a question, Long Qing really did not know that some of the many disciples of the Buddha Sect were even more greedy than the priests of the temple.

Bodhi is essentially empty, why do we need to realize it?It was even more difficult for Long Qing to answer.

Just a few words left him speechless. Taiping Dao Chen Xuan was truly inhuman.

After a long time, Long Qing stood up and saluted and said, "Mr. Chen, Long Qing lost today's debate. Naturally, there is no need to argue for the third debate. I just don't know Mr. Chen. Is there a third debate question?"

He is the prince of Yan, the son of light of the Xiling Temple, and he lost to Chen Xuan in the debate.

There should have been three debates today, but who would have thought that he would lose so quickly.

After Chen Xuan stood up and paid a half-respect, he said, "There are three debate questions. Since the Son of Light asks each other, this last debate question will naturally be revealed to the world."

"The third argument question, is the road ruthless?"

It is said that it is difficult to argue, but it is actually just a debate, and Long Qing relies on the reading between the lines of the Mingjing.

He relied on Tao and his own understanding of the truth. Long Qing had already lost this debate before it even started.

Long Qing saluted again and said: "Mr. Chen, Long Qing bids farewell!"

Having lost the argument, he is as arrogant as Long Qing, so he naturally does not want to stay in Yanming Lake any longer.

Long Qing had a strong arrogance, but in front of Taiping Dao Chen Xuan, Long Qing restrained his arrogance.

Priest Mo Li sighed helplessly: "This argument is really a mistake."

If at that time, he had persuaded Prince Longqing more, perhaps he would not have lost today's difficult debate.

Looking at the people in the temple who left in disgrace, the civil and military personnel of the Tang Kingdom, their faces were full of arrogance.

The Son of Light of the Xiling Temple, who has such a great reputation, has defeated all the geniuses of the Tang Dynasty in a few days.

The next protégé of the Yan Kingdom, Long Qing, was defeated in the end by the master of the Academy's Seventh Division.

Otherwise, the maid of a disciple of the Academy outdid Long Qing in drinking, which is really a bit difficult to talk about on the stage.

But Tang people never thought that Chen Xuanfei of Taipingdao was from Tang Dynasty.

In the understanding of the Tang people, academies are the academies of the people of the world, and they are also the academies of the Tang Dynasty. If there is no Xiling, the world will definitely return to the Tang Dynasty.

The debate is over, Taiping Dao Chen Xuan wins, and it is the victory of the Academy, the victory of the Tang Kingdom!

In the hall of the Tang Dynasty, the adults in casual clothes who came to watch the debate drove away from the bank of Yanming Lake in a carriage.

No one would have thought that in the rumors, Longqing, a great Buddhist virtuous man, could argue better than Longqing in Lanke Temple.

Facing Taiping Dao Chen Xuan, he was defeated so quickly.
-
After a while, there were only a few carriages left under the wooden platform.

On the wooden platform, Yu Lian compiled Chen Xuan's defense and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen is making his first argument today. What is the great way of the ant country in this world?"

"It seems to be debating the Dao, but it is actually debating the world."

"After hearing Taoist friend Chen's argument, I have come to an understanding. If I see the Tathagata someday, how can I become a Buddha?"

Chen Xuan looked at Yu Lian, smiled as usual, and said, "If you see Tathagata, you should be Tathagata, where is it not Buddha."

"As I taught you, it is difficult to calm down the mind. If you want to achieve Bodhi, if your mind is empty, why do you want to achieve Bodhi?"

"It all depends on Professor Yu Lian's intention!"

Chen Xuan had read the story in the book and naturally knew Yu Lian's identity. If he was the master of the Demon Sect and had achieved enlightenment.

So why should the Buddhist disciples here feel so embarrassed?

Those who seek enlightenment from the Demon Sect are deplorable, sad, and ridiculous.

Yu Lian nodded slightly and said: "My mind has become quiet, and I have entered into silence, so I don't need to prove Bodhi."

"What if you are just clinging to this and realizing enlightenment? If you are clinging to it, you will realize it and be unable to get out of it. What should you do?"

Chen Xuan laughed dumbly and said: "Buddha is the way, and the devil is also the way. It is not the way of practice, but let's talk about it from the beginning to the end."

"Yu Jiaoxue, there are methods of heaven and man, so don't stick to them."

"Immortals also have civil and military appearances, it's just a change of ancestral energy."

Then Chen Xuan also walked down the wooden platform and walked towards the shore of Yanming Lake.

Over there, Ye Hongyu was still scolding Jiang Chun, which was very beautiful.

On the wooden platform, Yu Lian smiled slightly, as if she had made a certain decision.
