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

They couldn't understand a word of it.

But judging from Master Du'e's expression, this Mahayana Buddhism seems to be very powerful.

Ordinary people didn't understand, but some people at the top of the power structure in the capital had a slight understanding of it.

For example, Wei Yuan.

Upon hearing the voice, Su Nan stopped and asked, "Master, is there anything you're wondering about?"

Master Du'e sat upright, his face solemn, and said in a deep voice:

"Before the Buddha, for 723,680 years, no one attained Buddhahood. After the Buddha, for 3,491 years, no one attained Buddhahood!"

"The Buddha is the Buddha; how can everyone become a Buddha?"

Master Du'e's voice carried a questioning tone.

Seeing Master Du'e's serious expression, Su Nan feared that if he didn't explain things clearly, the matter wouldn't end today.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke:

"In the eyes of Buddhist disciples, Buddha is Buddha, not Buddha is Buddha."

"In my opinion, this idea is simply ridiculous."

This sentence was so difficult to understand that, apart from the Buddhist monks outside the venue, no one else could comprehend it.

Master Du'e asked solemnly, "What's so funny?"

Su Nan gave an example.

"Just like the Directorate of Astronomy, the Director is a first-rank sorcerer, but a first-rank sorcerer is not necessarily the Director of the Directorate."

"Shouldn't Buddha represent a supreme state, rather than referring to a single person?"

This statement is utterly treasonous. The Buddha is the founder of Buddhism, the only Buddha, and the one they should worship.

Shouldn't such a high and mighty deity be the only Buddha?

However, the Buddhist monks were unable to refute this at the moment.

Su Nan asked again, "Master, is Buddhism a state of mind or a state of cultivation?"

Master Du'e's expression remained serious, but there was no anger in his eyes. Instead, he pondered for a moment and said, "Both are true."

"In Buddhism today, power is revered and rank is the foundation!"

"The goal of every Buddhist practitioner is to attain enlightenment, whether as an Arhat or a Bodhisattva. To put it simply, it is about self-liberation."

"As for saving all sentient beings, that comes later, Master Du'e, am I right?"

Master Du'e remained silent for a long time, then clasped his hands together in prayer.

This is the default.

"Therefore, valuing power above all else, taking rank as the foundation, and regarding the Buddha as the Buddha, I call this Theravada Buddhism."

"Mahayana Buddhism advocates that all sentient beings are Buddhas."

"The Hinayana Buddhism liberates oneself, while the Mahayana Buddhism liberates all sentient beings!"

"May I ask, Master, which Buddhist teaching is more profound?"

After Su Nan said these words, the entire room fell silent.

The monks from the Western Regions, including Master Du'e, remained silent.

They couldn't refute it!

Master Du'e chanted a Buddhist prayer and put his hands together in prayer: "Please enlighten me, benefactor."

Su Nan laughed and said, "Even the Buddha wasn't born a Buddha."

"In my view, everyone has Buddha-nature, but they are confused by the filth of the mundane world. However, after cultivation, they can see themselves clearly and become Buddhas."

"Master, to see one's true nature is to become a Buddha!"

Boom!

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the sky, followed by what seemed like a cacophony of Buddhist chants.

To everyone's astonishment, Master Du'e was radiating golden light, echoing the extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth.

In Buddhism, this is called sudden enlightenment.

Seeing one's true nature is to become a Buddha; seeing one's true nature is to become a Buddha!

Master Du'e was immersed in a wondrous state, completely absorbed.

Why is the Buddha a Buddha?

Why can't I be a Buddha?!

No, everyone can become a Buddha.

This Buddha is not the Buddha of spiritual attainment, but the Buddha of the heart.

For Master Du'e, Su Nan's words were like the clouds parting to reveal the light!

The doubts that had been troubling Master Du'e were instantly dispelled, as if he were bathed in a sky full of Buddha's light!

According to the principles of Theravada Buddhism, the idea of ​​spreading the Buddha's light throughout the land is just empty talk!

Because there is only one Buddha in the world!

However, in Mahayana Buddhism, everyone can become a Buddha!

Only then will the Buddha's light truly shine upon Kyushu.

This is the true Dharma!

Even if Buddhism is destroyed, so what? Everyone is a Buddha, so how can it be destroyed?!

Master Du'e was deeply shaken!

……

In the watchman's area, the gong players suddenly heard a low laugh coming from Wei Yuan, who had stepped out of the shade.

"A sudden realization is wonderful, a sudden realization is wonderful indeed!"

Wei Yuan spoke each word clearly, a smile on his face.

Everyone looked puzzled upon seeing this.

Although Buddhism and the Great Feng are allies, they are also half enemies.

Master Du'e's sudden enlightenment might lead to some improvement in his cultivation, but the civil and military officials did not see this as something to be happy about.

The top of the Star Gazing Tower, the Bagua Platform.

Emperor Yuanjing burst into laughter, experiencing a joy he had never felt before.

“Su Nan put forward the concept of Mahayana Buddhism. It’s fine if Master Du’e didn’t have an epiphany… But since he did have an epiphany, he will surely spread Mahayana Buddhism when he returns to the Western Regions.”

"This will inevitably cause a conflict between the concepts of Buddhism and Buddhism, and at that time, endless arguments will be the least of it. Once a split occurs, hahaha."

Emperor Yuanjing hadn't laughed so heartily in many years.

Only when forces are evenly matched can they become allies. When one side grows stronger while the other weakens, they will inevitably drift apart.

This is the current state of Dafeng and Buddhism!

Over the past twenty years, the Great Feng Dynasty has gradually weakened, while Buddhism has grown stronger!

This is a huge hidden danger.

If Buddhism were to split, it would certainly be good news for Dafeng.

Both sides would strive to win over the Great Feng in order to eliminate the other.

This is a golden opportunity for the Great Feng Dynasty.

Emperor Yuanjing had initially harbored some resentment towards Su Nan for concealing his cultivation level, but this resentment vanished completely at this moment.

Compared to the division within the entire Buddhist community, concealing a third-rank cultivation level is truly insignificant!

Even if there were twenty Rank 3 Transcendent beings, they couldn't do this!

Southern Jiangsu is truly my lucky star!

The supervisor looked at the overjoyed Emperor Yuanjing and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The concept of Mahayana Buddhism proposed by Su Nan was something he hadn't expected.

This was an unexpected surprise.

This kid... not only mastered the power of all living beings, but also caused division within Buddhism.

As expected of the person I chose.

Chapter 99: Feeling the Power of All Living Beings Once Again!

Mahayana Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism

On the rooftop of the restaurant, the monk Hengyuan, standing beside Chu Yuanzhen, looked shocked.

"I too can become a Buddha, martial monks can become Buddhas, everyone in the world can become a Buddha. To save all sentient beings, to understand one's true nature is to become a Buddha!"

Hengyuan seemed to see his future path ahead.

Ever since leaving Qinglong Temple, Hengyuan has felt that the future is uncertain.

Practicing Buddhism...

With the world already in this state, what's the point of practicing Buddhism?!

However, the emergence of Mahayana Buddhism gave Hengyuan a renewed faith.

If everyone could be a Buddha, would the world still be like this?!

"What exactly did Mr. Su mean by that?!"

Biao Biao stared wide-eyed at the painting.

She heard everything Su Nan said.

I didn't understand a single word.
