Chapter 841 The Best Friendship Meeting (4)

"What?" Duanmu Baolian asked puzzled.

"What is a Buddha?" Fatty said while driving.

For this question, Duanmu Baolian naturally didn't understand, she was not a Buddhist, she said she didn't understand such a profound Zen mechanism.

"There is a saying in Buddhism - put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. Then, how can a person who has never slaughtered become a Buddha?" The fat man continued.

"This little Taoist priest is so extreme." Duanmu Baolian shook her head, she put down her butcher knife and became a Buddha immediately. It was just to persuade people to be kind and not to kill. How could such an understanding be taken out of context?

"I also told him at the time that since we don't understand the teachings of Buddhism, there is no need to talk nonsense." Feng Tang shook his head and said, "But that little Taoist's thoughts are really not ordinary extremes."

"What else did he say?" Duanmu Baolian asked.

"He said, according to the literal understanding of this sentence, if a person wants to become a Buddha, he must first kill, and then he must kill to a certain level. This level is to make the Buddha's grandfather taboo, and then he puts down the butcher knife and goes to the Buddha's grandfather. Therefore, Grandpa Buddha let you become a Buddha." Feng Tang said.

"Nonsense!" Duanmu Baolian shook her head and said, "It's just a good sentence that persuades people to be good, and let him misinterpret it like this?"

"This is not the most extreme." Feng Tang said, "The most extreme is one sentence - the Buddha said that all living beings are equal."

Regarding the equality of all beings, Duanmu Baolian did not express an opinion. There is indeed a big ambiguity in the words of this sentence.

"Life is fair to any creature. There is only one time. If all living beings are equal, then there is no difference between human beings and beasts. If you kill a person, you need to pay for your life. So whether you kill a beast or not, you also need to pay for your life? To survive, it is inevitable to eat pork and mutton, etc. Then, why should pigs and sheep be eaten? Why can't they demand equality?" Feng Tang continued.

"Not only pigs and sheep, but also chickens, ducks, fish, geese, etc. It is inevitable for humans to eat some animals in order to survive, and even for many people, this is justified." Feng Tang said again.

"Eating meat is a matter of course." Duanmu Baolian thought for a while, and then said, "It took human beings hundreds of millions of years to climb to the top of the biological chain, just to eat meat, hum! Since humans have the ability to eat meat talent and ability, then you should eat meat."

"Yes!" Feng Tang nodded, "Your statement is correct—but, according to the equality of all living beings, then chickens, ducks, fish, and geese are equal to you, and you have no right to eat them. On the issue, human beings have never put themselves in the same position as these animals. As the spirit of all things, human beings are above them, so there is no such thing as the equality of all beings.”

Regarding this question, Duanmu Baolian sighed softly. She also did not believe that the saying that all living beings are equal, this sentence is really deceptive.

Of course, she didn't know that when Feng Tang said such a sentence again, he had talked about more extreme topics, but in order to avoid her resentment, Feng Tang chose to say something that was more acceptable.

"He also said that if all living beings are equal, then where does the offering to the Buddha come from?" The fat man sighed, "That little Taoist is really extreme."

"I also feel that he is very extreme." Duanmu Baolian said, "In this case, I guess he has quite different views on Taoist teachings?"
