Chapter 356 Shortcomings(1/2)
Zhang Qingyun's face trembled, his face full of displeasure.
Pay homage...
This is treating poor people as dead people.
"puff..."
Yu Wenjian looked strange and couldn't help laughing: "Master, these two monks are scolding you."
Zhang Qingyun's face turned a little dark, and Pindao could tell.
Yanbian and Yanwu frowned, since when did we curse?
Yu Wenjian sneered: "Oh, these two monks are really interesting. They curse each other when they meet."
These two monks may have meant to compliment them, but they chose the wrong words.
Although the word "pay homage" means to admire, nowadays the word "pay homage" is mostly used to view the remains and to respect the dead.
Paying homage to the appearance is the final farewell.
Did these two monks do this on purpose or unintentionally?
They need to understand this themselves.
But the meaning to people is already obvious.
"Pindao is just sitting here. You have finished paying your respects. How about I lie down in the shrine and you guys pay your respects?"
Zhang Qingyun raised his eyelids, being treated as a dead person for no reason. Zhang Qingyun was also unhappy: "You can leave."
"Householder, this is not what I mean."
Yanbian's face changed, and he suddenly understood.
Is it okay to pay homage to express admiration? Is it okay to look up?
Why did it become a curse word?
But they also understand that this word is really not a good word... But in the past, when complimenting people like this, others were not happy...
Yes, this is not the first time they have used this word on a living person.
"Oh, you said it out loud and others understood it, so what else could you mean?"
Yu Wenjian curled his lips: "When we go to Songshan Mountain, how about we directly say that we want to pay homage to Tathagata? Or, can we go to pay homage to your abbot?"
Paying homage to the Tathagata...Thanks to Yu Wenjian for being able to say it.
"Why not?"
However, Yanwu smiled and said: "All conditions are over, all dharmas are empty, only the elements are pure and pure, there is no desire and love, and life and death are nothing more than a single thought."
What does it mean?
Yu Wenjian was a little confused. Is this a forced excuse?
The key is, I didn’t understand!
Yu Wenjian had never studied Buddhist scriptures. Even at that time when science was at the end and he began to study multidimensional space, he only read Taoist scriptures.
Sure enough, the explanation began.
The monks and Taoists who met here seemed to be still discussing Taoism, which instantly attracted a lot of people. Although many shopkeepers on the opposite side and pedestrians passing by did not approach, there were still many people watching.
And the more they gather, the more they gather.
"A poor Taoist cultivates Taoism, his bones are delicate, his spirit is the brightest, he has the aura of heaven and earth, and he has the essence of the sun and the moon."
Zhang Qingyun twitched his eyebrows: "That's why, even though a poor man may not live forever, he still has to cherish his life."
As soon as you meet me, you must look up to me. I tell you now that I cherish life.
I am angry.
Yanwu clasped his hands together and bent around: "As a monk, if the three realms are empty, all realms will be cured; if the six roots are calm, the thousand realms will be exhausted; if the mind is calm, the light will shine; if the mind is sincere, all realms will be empty."
Yu Wenjian understood, understood a little, and talked about Taoism. The monk wanted to divert his attention. After hearing these words, Yu Wenjian couldn't hold back: "Excuse me, are your six roots clean?"
Yanwu was stunned, and the sound suddenly stopped.
Yu Wenjian asked again: "The flood in the Central Plains has reached the foot of Songshan Mountain. Have you donated money?"
"Forehead..."
Yanbian and Yanwu were immediately speechless.
The key is, they didn't donate.
He keeps saying that Buddha loves the world, but when there are disasters in the world, as a disciple of Buddhism, he guards the mountain gate without any help or money.
Zhang Qingyun looked at Yu Wenjian with admiration. Could this guy be a roundworm in his stomach? This was what he wanted to ask in the first place.
Since Yu Wenjian opened his mouth, Zhang Qingyun didn't say much.
If it comes to discussing Taoism, Zhang Qingyun will naturally have a counterattack, but Yu Wenjian is straightforward and has the best effect.
"Excuse me, why did the three martial arts destroy the Buddha but not the Tao?"
"Excuse me, you keep saying that you should have a pure heart and few desires, keep your six roots pure, and be restrained by strict rules and regulations. Songshan is listed on the market..."
Yu Wenjian spoke sharply, and the two monks opened their eyes wide and looked at each other: "We discuss the Dharma and Tao, and we won't talk about this."
This directly removes their fig leaf, so how can they discuss the truth?
This routine is wrong, you are here to slap me in the face.
"Then just talk about your strengths and hide your weaknesses."
A young man wearing glasses muttered: "Although the monks say that the six sense organs are pure and the heart is pure, are they still trying to win everywhere? Look at it, as long as there are scenic spots, there are temples and monks. Well,
There is also a merit box, which cannot be entered without money. Your methods of collecting money are really clever..."
Yanbian and Yanwu looked at each other and said secretly: "It's broken..."
There was no need for Zhang Qingyun to argue fiercely with them. The people around him were speechless because of these questions.
Zhang Qingyun had a strange look on his face and discussed Taoism. Pindao was the protagonist. How did he manage to develop to this point?
Pindao hadn't shown off yet, no, hadn't started preaching yet. These two monks were defeated...
Pindao, do I need to say more?
No need, Yanwu and Yanbian are not fools, the current situation cannot continue.
Just run away.
"Lady Qingyunzi, I'll take my leave..."
They have aroused people's resentment, or what Buddhism has done in recent years has aroused resentment. In this era of advanced information, everyone is wise and is not so easy to fool.
Zhang Qingyun: "???"
The discussion on Taoism hasn't even started yet. Pindao just said a few words and then you withdrew?
Oh, it's a defeat.
"Master..."
The two monks left, and the onlookers around them dispersed with discussion. Yu Wenjian was overjoyed: "If in the past, the ignorant feudal dynasty, their tricks would have been useful, now let alone discussing Taoism with Taoist disciples, even if they are ordinary people,
Questions they couldn’t answer.”
Yes, they can no longer answer ordinary people's questions.
Others asked: "Do you still abide by the rules and regulations?"
"Don't you eat meat now? Can you also marry a wife?"
"Well, you all drive around in luxury cars to show off."
how to answer?
"Ah..."
Zhang Qingyun chuckled lightly and said that at this point, it was just a joke.
Is this a discussion of Taoism or a debate between Taoism and Buddhism?
"Don't underestimate them."
Zhang Qingyun stood up, took a futon, and entered the Taoist temple: "There are still eminent monks in Buddhism. These two monks are not cultivated enough, so they can't explain why. They don't have enough adaptability."
If you want to win an argument, you must first have a thick skin.
These two monks are not that thick-skinned.
There are too many people in Buddhism who are good at debating. In history, Buddhism and Taoism debated five times, and Taoism only won once.
Buddhist disciples cannot be underestimated, otherwise they are destined to fail.
The Buddhist scriptures are for debate, and those who read the scriptures are masters of debate.
Buddhist disciples, as soon as they start reading the scriptures, they lay the groundwork for debate.
