Chapter 2487 The provocative fat monk
Xuanzang and his group had already sat down in this yard and talked about Buddhism to each other.
The abbot talked a few words at the beginning, and after chatting for a while, he sat aside and listened quietly to Xuanzang's words.
The king was sitting not far away, but he was not involved. He had a certain understanding of Buddhism, but he was not profound.
So I listened quietly just by the side.
The monks around him did respect Xuanzang very much at the beginning. The reason why they respected him so much was because of Xuanzang's reputation and the fact that Xuanzang saved them in Chechi Country this time.
But gradually they became more and more respectful to Xuanzang. It can be said that it is truly from the heart, and the feelings of respect have increased a lot.
So this is because they were impressed by Xuanzang's understanding of Buddhism.
Listening to Xuanzang's discussion on Buddha, they seemed to have opened up a new world. Unexpectedly, it was incredible and amazing that Buddhism could still say this.
I have heard that Xuanzang’s Buddhism is very profound before, but I didn’t expect it to be so profound, which is really amazing.
Uchiha Gong left the car, and Chi Guo went to Yunmengze afterwards. After he flew for a distance, he suddenly stopped. For some reason, he always felt something was wrong in some place.
What felt something was wrong was because of the Che Chi Guo incident this time. He always felt that something was wrong in this matter, but if you think about it carefully, you can't think of it.
This made Uchiha Gong feel a little strange. What was going on?
After thinking for a while, Uchiha Gong didn't expect it, and then continued to go towards Yunmengze, thinking about this while flying.
At Lingquan Temple, Xuanzang was still talking about Buddhism to everyone, and everyone was already very impressed by Xuanzang.
"Do you believe in Master Xuanzang?" The abbot of Lingquan Temple stood up and said to everyone with a smile.
Everyone was naturally convinced by Xuanzang.
"Master Xuanzang, let you ask you some questions in your heart. Is it OK?" Master Abbot looked at Xuanzang and asked.
"Can."
The abbot said a few words to everyone and sat down again, and the senior officials around him began to ask questions.
Some of the questions asked are normal, Xuanzang answered them one by one, you are indeed good.
"Master Xuanzang, this time you went from the Tang Dynasty in the East toward Lingshan in the West. Although you said you went to the West to seek scriptures, your real purpose was to go west to achieve enlightenment and defeat the Tathagata Venerable, right?" asked Xuanzang, who was looking at him.
Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this. They had heard of this, but they were not sure. Moreover, this question was a bit sensitive, so they did not dare to ask Xuanzang casually. Unexpectedly, this fat monk dared to ask directly.
Xuanzang smiled: "I went to Lingshan, Xitian, to seek scriptures. What I asked for was the real Buddhist scriptures, not that kind of false. This time, when I went to Lingshan, Xitian, the most important thing was not my arrival at Lingshan, but the process of my arrival at Lingshan. The scriptures I took were not the scriptures hidden in Buddhism. If I really wanted these scriptures, I could ask someone to bring them back for me. There is no need to go there so hard.
The true scriptures I want are on my way to the West, what I have experienced, what I have realized, the suffering and happiness of sentient beings I have seen... All of these are the true scriptures I want."
Everyone smiled when they heard Xuanzang's words. They said it well. The real Buddhist scriptures are not what the books say, but your experiences, your feelings, and your understanding of this world. That is the real Buddhist scriptures.
"As for you, I went to the West to defeat the Venerable Tathagata, I did not think about defeating the Venerable Tathagata. The Venerable Tathagata is the Buddha of our Buddhism. I did not think about defeating him. It's just that I think the way of living that the Buddha insisted on is not suitable for our current three realms. I just want to take a different path for the Buddhist temple to change the Buddhist teachings that our Buddhism is currently insisting on.
My doing this is also a testament to whether what I did is right. If I am really right, I think the Tathagata will definitely support me. If I am wrong, then I will naturally accept the punishment of the Tathagata." Xuanzang said to everyone with a smile.
Everyone nodded, and they were still very relaxed and did not feel embarrassed because of this problem.
The abbot also smiled and nodded. Xuanzang was indeed a monk. The question asked by the fat monk just now was very sensitive. If Xuanzang did not answer well, it would arouse dissatisfaction from many people and may also trigger some internal strife in Buddhism.
The fat monk frowned slightly and said, "Master Xuanzang, although you said it very well and said it is also very impressive, but we all understand that you go to the West this time to spread your Buddhism. If you really do it, then you will naturally be the leader of the Buddhism at that time. There is a saying that goes, one day the emperor and the other day the ministers,
When you become the leader of this Buddhist sect, you will definitely make drastic changes to the Buddhist sect. Now what monks have, such as status and interests, and the Buddhist teachings they own, will be affected. Your own people will rise to power, and those who support Tathagata and follow Tathagata will decline. This is also normal. There is a dynasty of interest in a dynasty. Although we Buddhists are practitioners, we cannot escape this law."
The monks around him frowned when they heard the fat monk's words and were obviously surprised.
This fat monk is so bold!
Although he said it was very presumptuous, it made sense. Now many monks in Buddhism have great power, and their interests are also the power of Buddhism.
They are vested interests now, so their group of people support Tathagata very much and the Hinayana Buddhism today. So when Xuanzang wanted to challenge Tathagata, many people were very angry because you challenged not only Tathagata, but also their big interest group.
Once you succeed, the benefits they have now will be damaged and may completely disappear and become a lower-level disciple.
Although Buddhism emphasizes that all four elements are empty, you are in these three realms and among all living things. How can you truly achieve all four elements?
Even the dignified Tathagata Venerable could not do this, let alone the monks below?...
