Chapter 1737 How to go to Purdue
The three of them left the village and continued to head towards Chang'an City. Xuanzang was talking along the way, and Uchiha Xuan also continued a few words.
But Li Erlang didn't say anything, and seemed to be thinking in silence.
At night they were resting by the river, and at night they caught a few fish in the river, and they prepared to grill fish for food.
"Brother Li, come and have a delicious big fish." Xuanzang handed the first roasted fish to Li Erlang.
"Brother Li, why do you look unhappy? Do you have any worries?" Xuanzang asked curiously.
Li Erlang: "Brother Xuanzang, you are a monk. Do you also want to kill animals and eat meat?"
"This is the rule of all things in the world. If we really don't kill, we don't even eat plants in the world. For example, vegetables, they also have life. The land you step on is also life. The bed you sleep with, and the breath you breathe is also life...
So everything in this world has life. If you really don’t want to kill, I don’t want to live and commit suicide directly. Otherwise, wouldn’t you want to harm many creatures when you are alive?” Xuanzang said to Li Erlang with a smile.
After hearing Xuanzang's words, Li Erlang also smiled: "Master Xuanzang, your thoughts are different from most monks."
"That's because those of them are too rigid and too obsessed with ancient times. They believe that all living things in the world are all living animals, but they don't know that plants also have life, and everything in the world has a certain sound. It is precisely because of this that our colorful three realms are found.
If you don’t kill, then don’t eat anything, don’t breathe, don’t step on anything, let alone live in the three realms, because living here is a killing of some lives.” Xuanzang said with a smile again.
Li Erlang nodded, and what Xuanzang said made some sense.
Uchiha Xuan also smiled beside him: "Xuanzang, then according to what you said, what you Buddhism says saves sentient beings and does not kill, is it all empty words?"
Xuanzang shook his head: "It's not the case. What we Buddhism says about saving sentient beings and not killing is just a relative point of view. Our Buddhist Mahayana Buddhism emphasizes the universal saving of sentient beings. It not only relies on personal abilities to save others, but also teaches all living things in the world, the method of saving them, so that they can save themselves.
After all, if others come to save you, you will only have external forces, and you will be able to save your power. So I think the real method of universal salvation is to let all living things in the world save themselves. In this way, every living creature will save themselves. In this way, the entire Three Realms will undergo a kind of universal salvation, and there is no need for any powerful figures to come out to help the Three Realms, because the sentient beings in the Three Realms can help themselves."
Uchiha Xuan smiled. Xuanzang said very well. Before Xuanzang was reincarnated, he didn't think so. In the past, he thought that he was relying on one person or a group of people to save everyone. Now he was thinking about letting everyone save themselves.
It seems that his experience in the world is very good, and he has such an idea.
This is a progressive idea, because it is difficult for you to fully take care of yourself by relying on your personal abilities. Sometimes some chaos may occur. If everyone in the Three Realms lets you save yourself, it is also a good way.
"Master Xuanzang, I think it's not the best thing to make up for myself. I'm going to save myself and then I'll go to spread the people around me. Everyone can spread the word to each other. You have me, I have you, I have everyone, and everyone is for me." Li Erlang said from the side.
After hearing this, Xuanzang looked at Li Erlang again: "Brother Li, what you said makes sense. If you can't just save yourself tightly, you can easily fall into the limitations of Hinayana Buddhism. You not only save yourself, but also save the people around you. This method is very good."
There was a light flashing in Xuanzang's eyes, and he felt that he had a higher level of saving all living beings.
The three of them talk about the methods of saving all living beings here. They all have their own opinions and are in a very good mood.
"Brother Li, why do I still have some sorrow in my eyes when I look at you? What's going on?" Xuanzang suddenly asked again.
Li Erlang looked at Xuanzang, then looked at Uchiha Xuan, and said, "I have always had a question in my mind, but I have never gotten an answer."
"Brother Li said it, let's hear it."
Li Erlang: "You said, if someone harmed his brother and forced his father, what kind of person would he be?"
"That depends on what the purpose of this person does this." Xuanzang said.
Li Erlang: "This person does this for his own ideals, for the righteousness of the world, for the peace of the world, and for the creation of a prosperous era."
Uchiha Xuan looked at Li Erlang and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He should be able to confirm that Li Erlang should be Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.
"Brother Li, I don't understand this matter very well, because as I just said, everyone has their own opinions on this matter. You have to think about the good, this is a good thing, and thinking about the affection is a bad thing.
There is no way to achieve both worlds, and the past is gone. Brother Li doesn’t have to think too much. Everything is a cycle of cause and effect. I believe it will be solved in the end. That person harmed his brother and forced his father for his own ideals, some of the righteousness of the world, and to create a prosperous era. Then let go and do it, realize his ideals, and create a prosperous era. Only by not in vain are the sacrifices of his brothers.
If you sacrifice your brother and fail to do this, and keep enjoying yourself, that is the real mistake and the real sin."
After hearing Xuanzang's words, Li Erlang smiled on his face: "Master Xuanzang, you are really profound at a young age, I understand."
Li Erlang is in a much better mood now. After eating the fish in his hand, he found a place to lie down and sleep.
Xuanzang recited it for a while, and then fell asleep on the side.
Uchiha Xuan did not sleep. He usually slept very rarely. After looking at the sleeping Li Erlang, he did not expect that he would meet the legendary Tang King Li Shimin when he came to the lobby.
I just saw it in books before, but now I really saw it with my own eyes, which is really good.
