Film and Television: The Great Feng Sword Immortal, starting with Lingyue's updo hairstyle

Therefore, the people of Dafeng are not very familiar with Buddhism.

Although they didn't understand what Mahayana Buddhism was, they could still read the monks' expressions and reactions.

It seems that Su Zhexian said something quite remarkable.

The dialogue between Su Nan and the old monk continues in the painting.

"Master, where do you come from, esteemed monk?"

"Western Regions."

Why do Buddhist monks practice?

"Attaining enlightenment and transcending the sea of ​​suffering."

"This is Theravada Buddhism. Practice is only for oneself, and the attainment of enlightenment is the same. It benefits oneself but not others."

The old monk was taken aback. This time, he pondered for a long time and did not get angry.

After a moment, he asked with a sincere expression, "You say this is Hinayana Buddhism, then what is Mahayana Buddhism?"

Su Nan sat up a little more upright before speaking:

“You are not just a high monk from the Western Regions, you are a high monk from all over the land, a high monk from all over the world.”

“The purpose of a monk’s practice should not be to free himself from suffering, but to help all sentient beings in the world to escape suffering.”

"Why did the Confucianists persecute Buddhism four hundred years ago? They did not persecute Buddhism itself, but the Buddhist community, specifically Theravada Buddhism."

"The Hinayana Buddhism is ultimately limited to one school or sect, while only the Mahayana Buddhism can universally save all sentient beings. So, what is the Mahayana Buddhism?"

The old monk's breathing became rapid, and his eyes were no longer indifferent and calm!

The truth behind the persecution of Buddhism four hundred years ago remains unknown to this day.

The old monk stared intently at Su Nan and said in a deep voice:

What is Mahayana Buddhism?

Outside the arena, the Buddhist monks stared intently at Su Nan, their breathing becoming rapid.

Why is there only one Buddha?

Southern Jiangsu Province issued a question!

All the monks, including the old monk, suddenly felt a tightness in their chests.

The Arhat Du'e suddenly stood up, as if he knew what Du'e was going to say.

Su Nan looked beyond the painting as if he were looking at the entire world.

"All sentient beings in the world are Buddhas; there are countless Buddhas throughout the three worlds and ten directions. This is the true meaning of Mahayana Buddhism..."

"Why should there only be one Buddha in the world!"

Like a bolt from the blue!

All sentient beings are Buddhas!

The old monk stood frozen in place, as if petrified.

All sentient beings are Buddhas, all sentient beings are Buddhas...

If it is Mahayana Buddhism, then all sentient beings are Buddhas. How could Confucianism then suppress Buddhism?

The eyes of the Western Region monks present all became somewhat dazed.

It's like life has been denied, and one's Buddhist heart has been greatly impacted.

"I practice Theravada Buddhism, I practice Theravada Buddhism!"

"So, so all sentient beings can become Buddhas! Yes, all sentient beings are Buddhas! This is the true Mahayana Buddhism!"

Suddenly, a monk went mad. He rushed into the crowd like a madman, his expression frantic.

The Buddha's heart is broken.

With his hands clasped together, the Arhat of Du'e spoke in a voice as clear as a morning bell and evening drum: "Having ended all afflictions, one's Buddha-heart is pure and clear."

The frenzied monk seemed to have been struck hard with a stick, and gradually calmed down.

His face still showed struggle, but he was no longer as frantic as before.

Du'e Luohan withdrew his gaze, looked up at the Foshan Secret Realm, and a rare look of anger appeared on his deeply lined face.

The old monk opposite Su Nan, after hearing these words, looked thoughtful, as if he had gained some insight.

In Kyushu, Buddhism prioritizes power and attainment, with Buddhist teachings being secondary.

Therefore, the concept of Mahayana Buddhism from Earth was a huge shock to them!

Seeing the old monk gradually enter a meditative state, Su Nan felt relieved.

We've passed this hurdle.

After a long while, the old monk who had been in meditation slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at Su Nan in front of him with a gentle smile, his whole body exuding a strong Buddhist aura!

"Thank you donor!"

"This humble monk has attained enlightenment!"

This old monk is the one whose obsession was severed by Manjushri Bodhisattva in the past.

Today, under the Mahayana Buddhism teachings in southern Jiangsu, he has achieved complete enlightenment.

"Back when Wen Yin was still a fourth-rank ascetic monk, I had a question: why couldn't he become a Buddha?"

"This obsession remained hidden in his heart for countless years until his lifespan was about to end. He then had a great awakening and realized that there was only one Buddha in the world, and that the Buddha was over there."

"So he cut me off and attained the status of a Bodhisattva."

"I have sat in this secluded place for many years, constantly thinking about how to become a Buddha, and why I am not a Buddha."

"Your words today have relieved me of my endless distress!"

"I am Buddha, Buddha is me, Amitabha!"

The old monk's voice gradually became ethereal.

His figure also slowly disappeared like a gentle breeze.

This old monk was not human, but rather an obsession left behind by Manjushri Bodhisattva.

Now that his obsession has faded, he naturally ceases to exist.

But the old monk did not completely disappear.

On the Bodhi tree beside him, a bright green fruit slowly began to grow.

The fruit radiates a crystal-clear green light, making it clear at a glance that it is no ordinary fruit.

……

The scene depicted in the painting shocked the people of the capital!

That old monk...has he passed away peacefully?!

With Su Zhexian's explanation, the old monk seemed to have resolved the doubts that had been troubling him for a long time, and then he had a great enlightenment!

"As expected of a banished immortal, not only is his poetic talent unparalleled, but he is also well-versed in Buddhism!"

"Hahaha, this is our Great Feng's banished immortal!"

"The old monk even thanked Su Zhe Xian before he left!"

"..."

Although they were completely confused, it didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the people in the capital.

The gloom that had previously been suppressed by the power of Buddhist images has now been completely swept away!

Su Zhexian battled against the Buddhist sect, passing through three trials in one go!

I ask you, who else could accomplish such a feat!

What is meant by the elegance of a banished immortal!

This is perfectly exemplified at this moment!

In the painting.

Su Nan also let out a soft breath.

Deceiving a Bodhisattva's obsession is quite stressful.

He only had a superficial understanding of Mahayana Buddhism.

This battle of wits must be over, right?

Su Nan looked towards the depths of the mountain peak.

Behind the Bodhi tree was a temple, which was the end of his journey!

The contest between the supervisor and Master Du'e involved wagering the Heavenly Secrets Plate and the Diamond Sutra, respectively.

If Su Nan wins, he can take this opportunity to learn the Diamond Sutra of Buddhism!

This is one of the reasons why he participated in the magical duel.

The divine power resided within him, and although it could change his physical body, it was ultimately too slow.

If he could learn the Diamond Sutra on his own and cultivate the invincible golden body of Buddhism, then his shortcomings would be made up!

Just as Su Nan was about to step onto the mountaintop, a voice suddenly reached his ears.

"donor!"

"What is Mahayana Buddhism, and what is Hinayana Buddhism? I hope you can explain it more clearly!"

That was the voice of Master Du'e!

Everyone stared at Master Du'e in astonishment, their expressions turning puzzled.

What are Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism?
