Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

"Gu heard that a fox walks among mice and mice, boasting that it is stronger than a lion, and when he sees a real lion, his soul will fly away. Since Master Daoyue has not seen the Dharma of all the people in the world, he thinks that they are all clinging to stupidity. If he sees it in the future, I am afraid it will be like a fox seeing a lion!"

Daoyue's face was ashen, but Li You's words made him unable to get angry, which was extremely uncomfortable.

And Hui Ming, Bian Ji, the abbot of Bainiu Temple and other monks were all shaking with anger!

"Well said! Aren't they just short-sighted? He'll be frightened by something more powerful!"

In this heavy atmosphere, Cheng Yaojin's unscrupulous voice was like adding fuel to the fire, slapping the monks in the face naked! .

Chapter 762 What do you know!

The long silence on the Buddhist side has caused the onlookers to start talking.

Right now, as long as you are not blind, you can see that His Royal Highness has the upper hand!

"Not good! The situation~ is in jeopardy!"

Seeing this situation, the abbot of Bainiu Temple, Huiming and others also secretly thought that it was not good. Now they are being beaten by Li You at all. This is something that was never anticipated before the opening!

"Damn... the prince is so eloquent, and now he is counting on Master Daoyue to break the game!"

However, Daoyue, who had high hopes, had the iron-blue color on his face slowly disappearing, and instead he was mumbling something.

"Form is emptiness, emptiness is form? Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha remains in the heart?"

After the anger subsided a little, Daoyue recalled Li You's words, and actually felt that it contained infinite Zen!

Daoyue is different from many monks who pretend to be illusory. He is a real virtuous monk, not only devoted to the Buddha, but also very proficient in the Dharma.

Therefore, he felt more and more subtle about what Li You said, and even almost immersed himself in it!

Fortunately, Daoyue is also very reliable. At the last moment, he suddenly remembered his mission and suddenly restrained his mind.

"The Buddha said... that all living beings are equal, and that if you don't give up on wine and meat and wantonly kill, after all, it is still against the will of the Buddha. Amitabha."

Daoyue put his hands together after speaking. This was the rebuttal he gave after thinking hard for a long time.

These words also suddenly made all the officials and officials nervous. Since they all involve the most authoritative Buddha in Buddhism, what else can His Royal Highness say?

This is like a debate in a court. Once a minister says what His Majesty has said in the past, then there is nothing to say on the spot, because they can't always point out that His Majesty is wrong, right?

"Since the Buddha said that all living beings are equal, there has always been a problem that has plagued Gu, which often makes Gu often fall into thinking and cannot sleep peacefully."

However, Li You was still indifferent, these words with a sense of doubt immediately made Daoyue curious.

"Oh? Your Highness might as well say it directly, the poor monk is willing to try his best to answer."

"The Buddha said that all living beings are equal," Li You asked. "So all living beings can become Buddhas? In this way, do cats and dogs have Buddha-nature?"

Daoyue laughed after hearing this, what kind of problem is this? Li You's question is very simple for any monk who has attained Taoism.

"What's so difficult about this? Of course, all living beings have Buddha-nature. Not only cats have Buddha-nature, but dogs also have Buddha-nature, even fish have Buddha-nature, and birds have Buddha-nature... As long as anyone wants to have Buddha-nature, then whoever wants to have Buddha-nature. Everyone can have Buddha-nature!"

"No!" Li You suddenly and decisively interrupted Daoyue, "Cats and dogs have no Buddha nature!"

Daoyue frowned and retorted: "Why did Your Highness say this? How can cats and dogs not have Buddha nature?"

Li You let out a sigh of relief, and asked back, "What does it mean to have? What does it mean to have nothing?"

Daoyue just wanted to open his mouth to say something, but suddenly froze, his brows tightened even more, and he pondered deeply on the spot.

Time passed minute by minute, and when everyone was impatient, Daoyue showed a sudden look.

"I understand!"

The common people, who had been waiting very boringly, suddenly widened their eyes.

What do you know!

This time, even Li Shimin had a hard time understanding the Zen machine behind it. This advanced level of machine learning about Zen is sometimes like playing a riddle.

He couldn't help but look at Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu and the others, and this group of civil servants also thought hard for a long time, and they even discussed with each other while Daoyue was in a daze.

Therefore, Fang Xuanling was able to answer Li Shimin's doubtful eyes as a representative at this time: "Your Majesty, according to the views of the ministers and others, His Highness the Prince's meaning is estimated to be no door, Buddha is not Buddha, ancestor is not ancestor, nothing more than nothing."

"If you talk about whether a dog has Buddha-nature or not, you don't understand the difference between existence and non-existence. It doesn't matter whether a dog has Buddha-nature or not, the difference between existence and non-existence is the key."

"I see."

Li Shimin nodded with a "you're right" expression. In fact, he still seems to understand a little bit, but as long as Daoyue understands and has nothing to say, that's enough!

Daoyue, who really understood at this moment, looked at Li You with a look of admiration on his face.

"His Royal Highness is really smart. He has learned the Buddha nature at a young age. It's a pity not to enter Buddhism!"

In Daoyue's point of view, if Li You, who has such a Buddha nature, does not become a monk, it is simply a tyrannical thing. If His Royal Highness the Prince can follow Buddhism, it will become a great thing in time!

"What nonsense is this old monk talking about!"

"How could His Royal Highness become a monk?!"

The surrounding ordinary people showed dissatisfied expressions when they heard the words, and even many of the host abbots felt a little ashamed and speechless about Daoyue at this time.

Master Daoyue is in the process of arguing about Buddhism and Dharma with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Has he developed a love for talent?

"Master, please focus on the overall situation!"

Seeing this, Huiming could only helplessly remind him, Daoyue shook his head and took a deep breath, knowing that his mission was so important that he couldn't control his temper.
