Chapter 1493: Discuss the Tao before the Buddha! (25)
The first point is to preach to the villagers of Hantu Village and instill a correct concept of belief instead of being like the cultists before.
The second point... is the attitude of waiting for Buddhists.
This is also Ning Chenxin’s purpose. Since the other party cares so much about the power of faith, Ning Chenxin only needs to change the faith of one village during the investigation, and perhaps the Buddhist sect will be alerted to take action.
Once Buddhism takes action, it means that the other party's approach is the same as what he guessed.
Now, the direction of speculation is indeed correct.
Ning Chenxin has arrived at the center of Hantu Village, looking at the Buddha statue quietly with an expressionless face.
The surrounding villagers have returned to their homes and looked outside through the windows with nervous expressions on their faces.
At this time.
"Everything is human-made, so what you Buddhists are doing now, isn't it disturbing the order?" Ning Chenxin glanced at Dabei slightly and said calmly: "Freedom of belief? From what I see, it is more like brainwashing and coercion. "
“Amitabha, the young monk is very compassionate and comes here to ask for an explanation.”
Feeling this breath of Buddhism, Ning Chen's heart condensed slightly.
Having said that, the Buddhist aura around Dabei was released. When the villagers in Hantu Village looked at Dabei, they seemed to have seen a giant Buddha!
“If Buddhism had not restricted the magical beasts, these ordinary people would not have been able to survive here. How can it be said to be a coercion? It is just a natural iteration of the biological chain.”
“Oh? Where does the coercion come from?” Dabei’s face was expressionless.
“Leaving the monsters outside the village did not expel them. If someone does not cooperate and attracts the monsters, and you come out to deal with them in a timely manner, isn’t this considered coercion in disguise?”
As he spoke, Dabei took out a futon and sat cross-legged under the Buddha statue.
Dabei did not release his spiritual realm, but the Buddhist aura he released and the huge power of faith were able to completely suppress the Confucian Taoist aura in Ning Chenxin.
Dabei shook his head: "Everything has its destiny, and the destiny is all man-made. Since it is the benefactor who disturbs the order, I will naturally ask for it from you."
Without waiting for Ning Chenxin to speak, Dabei continued to argue: "What's more, you said that Buddhism disrupts order. Where does this point of view come from?"
A solemn man in cloth suddenly appeared next to Ning Chenxin. Just by appearing, the golden light on his body was connected with the Buddha statue, and a sacred Buddhist aura suddenly filled the Hantu Village.
Dabei shook his head and said: "This forest is the home of monsters, why should we expel them?"
The remaining belief in Buddhism in their hearts made them unable to help but want to kneel down and worship Dabei.
Ning Chenxin did not turn his head. He still looked at the Buddha statue and said calmly: "An explanation? I think it is you Buddhists who need to give an explanation to those who believe in you, instead of asking me for an explanation."
“Since it’s about discussing Tao, let’s get started.”
It is conceivable that Dabei's attainments in Buddhism are so profound. Coupled with his amazing power of faith, if divided according to the realm of cultivation, Dabei's attainments in Buddhism may reach the realm of gods.
Ning Chen also had a suspicion. Could it be that such a terrifying power of faith was exerted on him?
If it were other people, they might be directly overwhelmed by the power of belief in Great Compassion and the aura of Buddhism, and become believers of the other person. However, Ning Chenxin’s Confucianism and Taoism were not weak, and his years of latent cultivation also came into play at this moment.
The moment Ning Chenxin took out the Taoist Sutra, an awe-inspiring righteousness swirled around Ning Chenxin, which to a great extent withstood the impact of this power of faith.
And in the soul, Lu Changsheng’s restriction also prevented the power of Buddhist and Taoist beliefs from invading.
This also made Dabei look puzzled, and then he nodded slightly: "No wonder the donor came to me to discuss Buddhism."
Ning Chenxin waved his hand and a long table fell in front of him. He immediately sat down at the long table and laid out the Taoist scriptures on the table.
“I just have one question, and if you can convince me on this one, then maybe you’re doing the right thing.”
When he heard the words, Dabei, who was surrounded by the power of Buddhist faith, closed his eyes, smiled, clasped his hands and said, "I am willing to clear up the benefactor's doubts."
“Buddhism believes that if a Bodhisattva has the appearance of me, the appearance of a person, the appearance of living beings, or the appearance of a person with a long life, then it is not a Bodhisattva.”
The reason is very simple. When others do good deeds, they often ask for rewards. There is no Buddhist law. If you do it, you just do it. You should forget it like "things are like a spring dream without a trace."
"But now, let alone whether Buddhism has done this or not, what is the purpose of doing whatever it takes for the power of faith? Is it to become stronger and educate this world of the jungle, or is it just to become the top strong person? Is it the top of the biological chain in this world where the weak and the strong eat each other?”
This is also the question that Ning Chenxin wants to apply for.
Is it correct to rely on strength to educate the world after oneself becomes stronger? Will it be like Buddhism, which only uses strength to shock?
When he heard Ning Chenxin's Buddhist words, Dabei couldn't help but be slightly startled, and said it again, "Bodhisattva has my appearance...even if he is not a Bodhisattva, I didn't expect that the donor is proficient in Buddhism and has such profound attainments..."
“But the donor may have been wrong from the beginning. You have a preconceived notion that Buddhism is selfish, so naturally you will be full of prejudice when looking at the subsequent issues.”
"As for the last question..." Dabei shook his head and said, "I am also looking for this answer."
Ning Chen thought to himself: "Selfishness? Wherever I look, wherever I go, everything I say is filled with words."
“Buddha talks about cause and effect, Tao talks about commitment.”
DaBei clasped his hands together and said, "But Buddhism has indeed provided shelter for the mortals around it, and it has indeed done something, hasn't it?"
Ning Chen asked in his heart: "A Bodhisattva should dwell in the Dharma and practice giving without ceasing. It is said that giving without ceasing to show color, and giving without ceasing to sound, smell, smell or touch the Dharma. And our way also has similar words, great virtues... But your Buddhist sect attaches these things to By the mouth, isn’t it already there?”
Speaking of which.
In the Tao Sutra, Haoran's righteous energy turned into white light that reached the sky, and actually gathered behind Ning Chenxin into an old man wearing a Taoist robe with white hair and a long beard!
The old man holds the scroll in his hand, and the transcendent aura he emits makes people feel like they are seeing the vast ocean, boundless at a glance!
For a time, the compassionate golden light of Buddhism was suppressed by this awe-inspiring white light!
DaBei was also slightly startled.
He never expected that the person in front of him was not a Buddhist, but he had such a profound understanding of Buddhism that he even surpassed some abbots!
These words have never been said by anyone in their Buddhist sect.
But how did he know that after Ning Chenxin set foot in the wild realm of Foshan, he had asked Lu Changsheng about Buddhism.
Lu Changsheng copied a book on Buddhism and threw it to him.
These words are all from that book.
