People in Jiejiao, Plague God Lu Yue

Chapter 578 What is Taoism and What is Buddha

Cihang sat on the golden lotus with a nervous expression, looking at the great master Xuandu. As the only direct disciple of the Supreme Saint, he had to give him some face even if the saint himself was present.

His cultivation has reached the highest level, and he only needs an opportunity to reach the realm of Hunyuan.

"Brother, how are you?"

Cihang spoke first to comfort the aggrieved Tang Sanzang.

"Junior brother, there is no point in saying more. We still need you to show us the truth." The great master Xuandu sat on the clouds, his deep gaze falling in the direction of Kunlun Mountain, as if reminiscing about the days when he practiced Taoism in Kunlun Mountain.

Time passes.

Things are different and people are different!

Xuan Du asked: "The way of heaven is vague. The way of man is vast. What is heaven? What is the way? I dare to ask everyone in the world. What is the way? What is no way?"

Cihang replied: "The Tao is the Tao. If it is not in accordance with the Tao, there is no Tao. The Tao can be spoken, but it is not the real Tao. The Tao punishes the heaven, the heaven punishes people, people punish their hearts, and their hearts punish all things. Is the Tao of Heaven vague? Is the Tao of Man vague? What is the Tao? I am the Tao, and the Tao is me. Since I am the Tao, how can I say it is vague?"

Cihang asked in return: "What is the superior Buddhist Dharma, what is Buddha, what is the true scripture, and what is the Tao?"

Xuan Du remained silent and did not answer.

Cihang smiled and answered himself: "The superior Buddhist teachings are the equal methods of selflessness, great compassion, great mercy, and great giving. The highly enlightened person who is neither born nor destroyed is a Buddha. If there is no scripture, then it is the true scripture. Do it according to the equal wisdom method. To practice it is the Tao."

"Heavenly Way! What is Heaven, what is the Way, how can the two be unified?"

Xuandu looked calm and replied, "The way of man is vague, the way of heaven is vast; the way of ghosts is joyful, and it is the gate of life; the way of immortals values ​​life, and the way of ghosts values ​​death; the way of immortals is always auspicious, and the way of ghosts is always evil; the spirits are high and clear, and the sad songs are loud in the sky; I only wish that the way of heaven will be fulfilled, and I don't want the way of man to be impoverished; in the Quanmiao Mansion in Beidu, there are tens of thousands of ghosts, who want to stop people's calculations and cut off their lives; Ah Ren sings the cave chapter to subdue Beiluo Feng, restrain the demons and monsters, and kill the six ghosts. The weather is prosperous, and my way is prosperous day by day."

I asked casually, "What is the Tao? Where is the Tao?"

Cihang responded: "What is the Tao? Where is the Tao? The Tao of Heaven always exists. Who can resist the evil and go beyond the Tao of Heaven? The Tao abandons the world and leaves a clue to the Tao. The Tao is in the heart of the enlightened. If the Tao heart is not extinguished, it will last forever. However, everything in the world is the Tao, and everything in the world is also without the Tao. The Tao is the Tao. The Tao is not the Tao. The Tao comes from nothingness, and nothingness is the Tao! Do you understand?"

"Understand" fellow Taoists, why do we practice cultivation? Don't tell me that it is for the purpose of becoming an immortal, which is very slim! ! Cultivation is for the purpose of attaining the Tao, but cultivation is against the will of heaven. Cultivating Buddha, Taoism, demons, devils, and evil are all cultivation. Some people often "kill demons and eliminate evil" under the banner of "acting on behalf of heaven". Cultivation is against the will of heaven, and you still act on behalf of heaven? What logic is this? There is no right or wrong in cultivation, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit! Chaos gave birth to the world, the yin gave birth to the yang, and the yang gave birth to the yin, which is Tai Chi. Tai Chi is black and white, which can be regarded as one evil and one righteous. Right is yang, yin is evil, and yin and yang complement each other to form the world. Therefore, there is no distinction between good and evil in the world, and the way of heaven is fair. Even if you confuse black and white, it is useless when the heavenly calamity comes! So! Fellow Taoists, don't think about killing demons and eliminating demons! It's useless! What demons are only said by people, not by heaven!
Xuan Du smiled and listened to Ci Hang's response. He admired her in his heart and said, "Ci Hang, you are good at practicing both Buddhism and Taoism. It's a pity that Che Chi Kingdom is the country of my Taoist sect."

"In the past, Jie Yin and Zhunti were disciples in Zixiao Palace. After becoming saints, they set up their own schools. What do you think?"

Cihang felt a chill in his heart, and he was blaming someone else. He was originally a disciple of the Chan Sect, and finally worshipped Buddhism. He explained helplessly: "The great way comes first, Brother Xuandu, why do you have to embarrass me?"

If he had a choice, he would not betray the Chan sect and join Buddhism. Isn't this the only choice?
Monks practice the way of heaven in order to achieve transcendence.

Would he really be left on the Investiture of the Gods his whole life, muddled and unable to make any progress in his cultivation, watching the juniors of the past surpass him one by one? Cihang thought that he could not do it.

Xuandu's expression turned cold.

"This is not an excuse for you to betray Xuanmen."

"The three immortals of Chechi Kingdom were killed by Sun Wukong. What do you think should be done?"

this.?

Cihang's expression tensed, knowing that Xuandu did not necessarily have to stop the team of pilgrims. This was the trend of Heaven, and the Supreme Sage would not touch it easily. Now he was going to tear off all his face.

Showdown with him directly.

"As the saying goes: Buddha saves those who are destined to be saved. I wonder if you, Cihang, can save this poor monk."

Xuandu took a step forward and came directly to Cihang's side. Cihang's expression tensed up and he quickly explained, "Brother, the saint will make compensation. I hope Brother Xuandu will forgive me."

Xuan Du was silent for a moment. He pointed to the location of Tushita Palace in the sky and said, "Then let my master see the sincerity of the two saints."

Turn around and step onto the clouds.

He smiled and said, "You are a good candidate for cultivation. What a pity."

Then he transformed and left.

Cihang was sweating profusely and helplessly urged Tang Sanzang and others to leave Chechi Kingdom as soon as possible. The reason why he was able to win was not because of his profound Buddhist teachings, but his understanding of Taoism.

Understanding of heaven and earth.

This is the case of the winner being the king and the loser being the bandit.

This was also the reason why he was able to impress Xuan Du. The prosperity of the West was promised by the Xuanmen saint himself, so he naturally could not go back on his word. Xuan Du had no choice but to leave.

Tushita Palace!
Xuandu stood beside the alchemy furnace with an indifferent expression, gently waving a palm-leaf fan. He sneered at Taoist Cihang's choice and belittled the Chan sect as worthless, which was so unwise.

The theory of good and evil.

Become the king and defeat the enemy.

Could it be that he forgot that the teachings of the Chan sect established by Yuanshi Tianzun were meant to explain the great principles of heaven and earth?

For the purpose of practicing?

Can we ignore the heaven, earth, the emperor, parents and teachers?
The foundation of Buddhism comes from Jie Yin and Zhunti. Their cultivation level ranks at the bottom among the Seven Saints. They may be good at bewitching people.

Magical techniques of immortals.

Relics of the golden body.

They are all under the Xuanmen, and the reason they set up their own sects is to get rid of the control of Hongjun Daozu.

Don’t you know?

Their every move was under the surveillance of Xuanmen and was tacitly approved by Hongjun Daozu. Although it was to suppress the Three Pure Ones of Xuanmen, isn't it enough to prove that the strength of the Three Pure Ones is above that of the Two Saints of the West?

Lost the watermelon and picked up sesame seeds.

This discussion of the Dao was just his way of deliberately creating a rift in the group of people seeking the scriptures.

Make Jin Chanzi confused.

His so-called Buddhism is nothing but a dirt chicken and a tile ditch in front of Taoism, which is inferior to Xuanmen.

Let Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha know who are their own people.

"Xuandu, your heart is in turmoil."

Taishang Laojun looked at the burnt alchemy furnace, moved the dust in his hand slightly, and threw the waste pills directly into the purple gold gourd.

Xuan Du was silent for a moment and said, "Master, the difficulty in Chechi Kingdom only offended the two saints from the West and planted a foreshadowing in the hearts of the pilgrims, but it did not make the two saints from the West bleed. It was a bit anticlimactic."

snort!
Tai Shang smiled and said, "Let him be arrogant for a while. Turn around and look again. He is just a salted fish on the chopping board. Wasn't it the same when my Xuanmen was prosperous before?"
