Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

"Just him? Your Majesty will send him to Tianzhu?" Di Zhixun asked in surprise.

Now Di Zhixun didn't dare to be too presumptuous. Those who could get involved with the emperor were not ordinary people.

But he was not convinced, Di Zhixun murmured in a low voice, "If you go to a foreign country and read the Confucian scriptures for two days, you will become an eminent monk and mage? I don't think it is a mortal body. Even if the mud embryo is covered with a layer of gold paper, it is still a mud embryo."

After speaking, Di Zhixun turned and went upstairs, unwilling to see this annoying monk again.

However, Xuanzang was awakened by Di Zhixun's words, thought of a countermeasure, put his palms together and said: "Buddhist, Xuanzang has not practiced enough, and is still a mortal with a mortal body. He has not become a Buddha, so naturally he cannot accurately explain what a Buddha is.

And if you want to explain it accurately, it is correct to use Buddhism to explain Buddhism, because only the Buddha himself can explain what a Buddha is. "

Hearing this answer, Di Renjie was even more disdainful, "Monk, I overestimated you, a monk who speaks eloquently, like you, you are not qualified to enlighten the world.

Even if you are a layman yourself, if you are asked to preach the scriptures to others, it will only make the ignorant people more and more chaotic. You can go, the Tang Dynasty does not allow you to teach the Dharma. "

What? ? ?

Xuanzang turned pale with shock, how could this happen?You cut off my future path with one word?

After hesitating for a moment, Xuanzang said in a deep voice: "Buddhist, the Dharma shines in the world, and the poor monk vowed to let all the people in the world feel the compassion of my Buddha. The people of the Tang Dynasty should not cut off their path to Buddha with just one word from you.

The poor monk will not stop. "

"Okay, very good, then you can go out and try it. Now in the territory of Tang Dynasty, why don't you see a monk preaching? If you don't get beaten to death within three days, don't blame me for not reminding you." Di Renjie mocked.

"The road of teaching the Dharma is full of difficulties and dangers, so why be afraid of death?" Xuanzang insisted.

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, but he stopped after taking a step. He remembered the previous question and asked back, "Dare to ask Buddha, what do you understand as Buddha?"

"Buddha is what we say in Tang dialect. When you travel to Tianzhu Buddhist country, what do they call Buddha?" Di Renjie asked back.

This one

Xuanzang did not expect the other party to ask such a question. There is no need to ask if you are okay, but all Buddhist monks know that Buddha is Sanskrit, Buddha is an abbreviation, and Tang dialect is not a translation, but a transliteration.

Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Di Renjie didn't ask any more questions, and explained directly: "The Buddha is also a mortal. He has practiced and passed on the Dharma of practice, so he is revered as a Buddha, but he is still a mortal body after all.

Brahma Buddha, meaning the Enlightened One.

This is the Buddha, and the enlightened one is the Buddha.

That's all. "

This, how can this be explained like this?

Xuanzang couldn't accept it. This is simply a simple translated word. How can it be used to define Buddha?

"Buddha, just now you said that you don't play word games, how can you justify your statement now?" Xuanzang retorted.

Di Renjie spoke again: "Buddha is awareness, not human beings. Everyone has awareness, which does not mean awareness is human.

The appearance of a person can be destroyed, and the nature of awareness has no birth and no death. When it is awakened, it will appear, and when it is obstructed, it will be covered by dust. If there is no obstacle, it will not appear.

The Buddha of Awakening and Consummation is the Buddha of the Buddhist human form, and it stops when it is perfect, that is, it is not infinite.

If the Buddha has quantity, it is not Amitabha Buddha.

The Buddha Dharma is immeasurable, that is, the enlightenment is immeasurable, there is no perfection, no perfection, no fullness, no dissatisfaction, and nothing called ultimate perfection. "

Xuanzang was directly shocked by this explanation, and every word and every word hit his heart. At this moment, he even felt that the person in front of him was the Buddha himself, but when he remembered the previous situation, he felt that it was his own illusion.

what is the problem?

Di Renjie jokingly said, "Do you think this is the true interpretation of Buddha?"

Xuanzang nodded heavily, "The realm of the Buddha has already stepped into the threshold of my Buddha, and the poor monk admires it, and feels ashamed."

Di Renjie laughed suddenly and said: "Monk, you are wrong again, this is just an explanation, just an explanation you are willing to accept, so you like it, you believe this explanation.

But this is not Buddha.

Words are indecisive, and once you say it, you will be wrong. This is what the Buddha said, don't say it! "

After discussing the Tao for so long, I finally heard the Buddhist scriptures from the other party, and at the same time Xuanzang fell into deep thought.

Di Renjie spread his hands and said: "The Dao to Simplicity is such an intuitive thing. It is the complexity of the human heart that complicates the interpretation of the Dao. What is complicated is not Buddhism, but the human heart.

For various purposes, there are all kinds of complicated explanations, thus over-interpreting the Buddhadharma, which casts a layer of dust on the Buddhadharma.

Youdao is a word that is true and thousands of volumes of books.

Just think about it, if the teaching of the Buddha is an obscure way of enlightenment, a way that people may not be able to reach in a lifetime, why should it be passed down?Even if it is handed down, I am afraid that only the Buddha has become a Buddha throughout the ages. What is the significance of other people's practice? "

Xuanzang retorted: "Buddha is the supreme realm. Although we Buddhist monks practice all their lives, we may not be able to reach it, but we can get closer and closer. We can avoid evil results for ourselves, but we will suffer from troubles and hardships. In the world, it is too much. Doesn’t it make sense for one good person to believe in one ignorant ordinary person?”

Di Renjie replied: "No, the good and bad results are your judgment, whether there is one more good person or evil person, whether it is good or bad in the world, is your judgment, not the judgment of the world itself.

In response to that sentence, how can Zi Feiyu know the joy of fish?Adding your own views and speculations from your own perspective is not the original intention of Buddhism. "

Xuanzang asked back: "Since it is meaningless, why did the Buddha pass on the Dharma to liberate the world?"

"Liberation? Liberation is what you say. The Buddha taught the Dharma to enlighten the world, not to end the so-called suffering. The so-called suffering in Buddhism, such as greed, anger, ignorance, resentment, and hatred, are all outsiders' opinions, as far as people themselves are concerned. , vary from person to person, if someone does not feel that carrying these things is pain? Or even enjoy it?

In that case, you want to use Buddhism to let them get rid of these things, is it right or wrong? "

"How could there be such a person? It's obvious." Xuanzang was speechless. The idea of ​​the child in front of him is too deviant, and he thinks differently from everyone else. Isn't this irrational?

"Why is there no such person? There are tens of thousands of people in the world, all of whom are different, but one person can prove you wrong." Di Renjie shouted, directly interrupting Xuanzang's rebuttal.

I, I, Xuanzang, turned pale, couldn't help but took two steps back, and swayed a few times before regaining my footing.

This time, he didn't make excuses, nor did he argue with eloquence. Although he wanted to refute the other party and prove the other party was wrong, but the way of the wheel is to talk about the heart. Xuanzang can't say against his will that there is no such person in the world, walking in the world Over the past few decades, have you met tens of millions of people?

Seeing this scene, Di Renjie sighed: "The enlightened Brahma is a Buddha, why did he become a Buddha when he arrived in the Central Plains, and Buddhism? Need to be interpreted in various ways?

It has been hundreds of years since the Dharma preachers came out of Tianzhu, how many generations has the Dharma passed through, do you dare to say that there is no selfish purpose in this generation?

They are all distorted explanations based on their own selfish needs, and are used to fool the ignorant people. Today, you still want to spread it, and continue to let the Buddha Dharma be used by people with intentions to poison the people's thoughts. Monk, how vicious are your intentions? "

"No, no, I didn't. I just wanted to spread the Buddhadharma. I didn't want to harm people. How could Buddha harm people?" Xuanzang panicked.

"Okay, let me believe that you are not a vicious villain, but your muddle-headed teaching of the Dharma has once again reduced the Dharma to a means for people with intentions to poison the world. Go forward and say that you are insulting the Buddha and sages, and then say that you are They are acting as accomplices in poisoning the people.

This is what you do?

Monk, you do bad things with good intentions without knowing it. If you really let you do this, it is pathetic for the people in the world, and it is also my dereliction of duty. I have received the Buddhist inheritance of Shaolin Temple, so I cannot watch you ruin the reputation of Buddha like this.

You go, don't teach the Dharma if you are not enlightened, and don't teach it in the Tang Dynasty if you want to, I don't care about other places. "
