Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Brands need to constantly advertise to maintain their popularity.  The same goes for teachings. You have to keep speaking, even if no one listens, because once you stop, you will be replaced.

    Brands, especially those in light industry, have a hard time surviving without advertising because they are so substitutable.  Without advertising, there is no popularity, and no popularity means death.

    The same is true for teachings, which are substitutable. If Tang Monk did not teach it, the Dharma of the Consciousness-only Sect would also disappear. If there is no chance, there will be no chance of turning over.  So even if there are few people listening, he still has to speak.

    Yunyao made 5,000 steamed buns, steamed them outside the Water and Land Conference, and asked people from the Prince Consort's Mansion to distribute them. As long as you go in and listen to a game, you can get two hot steamed buns, one for each person, while supplies last.

    The water and land conference suddenly became lively, with the number of people once again exceeding a thousand, and more and more people gathered to receive steamed buns. Most of them were elderly people. They had nothing to do at home anyway, so why not come over and save a meal for their families?

    There are also beggars, they also have time, but they don¡¯t recognize any of them, and they doze off after listening to them.

    However, Tang Seng didn¡¯t think there was a problem. The old man and the beggar were also sentient beings. As long as people came to listen, Tang Seng would speak very enthusiastically.

    "Master Xuanzang, you are so determined. You can talk to these illiterate beggars and even to people who are asleep. If these people can become Buddhas, how can you explain this?  Can you also become a Buddha?" A young monk stood up from behind the crowd. He was dressed simply and looked like he was just a novice monk, but his eyes were very bright and he knew he was a monk at a glance.

    Tang Monk did not expect that there would be provocations in the Water and Land Conference. There is no final conclusion on whether one can become a Buddha.

    " Just like when the ascetics discussed whether they could accept money for alms, some monks thought it was okay, and some monks thought it was not.  Therefore, differences in Western religions have always existed since the time of Samanas, and the philosophy of Black Lotus layman is actually one of the differences.

    There is also disagreement over whether Yichanti can become a Buddha. Yichanti is the most stubborn heretic. They do not believe that everyone can become a Buddha. They believe that only some people can become a Buddha.

    When Monk Tang saves all living beings, he naturally believes that everyone can become a Buddha. Then he has to face a question, which is what this young monk asked. Is Yichanti included among all the people?

    For a time, all the monks, even the sleepy ones, cheered up, saying that they would not be sleepy anymore.  The Consciousness-Only Buddhism is full of twists and turns, but once the question of whether one can become a Buddha is clarified, it becomes very simple. Can it or not?

    The young monk believed that Monk Tang should not preach to sleeping old men and beggars. He obviously believed that they were not qualified to become Buddhas at all. Obviously, he denied that everyone could become Buddhas and believed that only some people could become Buddhas.  From the perspective of Mahayana Buddhism, this young monk is just Chanti and cannot become a Buddha.

    The young monk believes that not everyone can become a Buddha. If he has this idea, he cannot become a Buddha in the eyes of Mahayana Buddhism.  But if one Chantika cannot become a Buddha, then Mahayana Buddhism¡¯s idea of ??everyone becoming a Buddha will be flawed, and Mahayana Buddhism itself will become a Chanthay.

    It can be said that I killed myself.

    Tang Seng is not an ordinary Mahayana Buddhist, so he said naturally: "One can naturally become a Buddha with one explanation. All living beings are equal. Although they did not understand my lecture today, they can sit here and become Buddhas with me."  Destined."

    "Master Xuanzang is such a great master. You can even save a sleeping person to the Western Heaven. In the future, I am afraid that even a stone can be saved by you and become a Buddha." The young monk said sarcastically.

    "Senior brother, is this little monk a monster?" Zhu Bajie asked his senior brother quietly.

    Sun Wukong had already seen the truth with his fiery eyes, shook his head and said: "It's either a monster or a human monk. He has a faint light of Buddha on his body. He should be a disciple of Hinayana Buddhism. We don't need to worry about it. As long as it is not a monster, our master can fight with him.  Wheel of Sutra." The Great Sage was right about this. Although Tang Monk was afraid of goblins, he was really not afraid of debates.

    Even the old man and the beggar stared wide-eyed. It was obvious that the quarrel was more interesting than the lecture. They both wanted to see who was more powerful, the holy monk who had returned from the Buddhist scriptures, or this little-known monk.

    "The holy monk must be powerful. This monk is so young, and he can tell what he is capable of at first sight." The beggars were chattering and discussing, wishing they had a fight between the two monks, and whoever wins the fight will be the right one.

    The next two monks began to quote scriptures and express their own opinions, Theravada Buddhism versus Mahayana Buddhism.  The young monk believes that it is impossible for everyone to become a Buddha. At most, everyone can become an Arhat. Those here can look up to them if they can become an Arhat, let alone a Buddha. Therefore, Monk Tang's lectures are just playing the harp to a cow, which is a waste of time.

    Tang Seng certainly thinks that oneIt is also possible to become a Buddha. In front of the Buddha, there are equal opportunities. Anyone can become a Buddha, whether he is an old man or a beggar, or even a Theravada monk.

    Everyone prefers to listen to Tang Seng¡¯s words. After all, Tang Seng¡¯s words include everyone.  The young monk excluded the old people and beggars present. Although they couldn't quite understand, they could tell from the young monk's contemptuous attitude that he looked down on them.

    "They are not here because they yearn for me, the Buddha, but because the princess made vegetable buns. In their hearts, my Buddha is not as attractive as the buns. It is impossible for such people to become Buddhas." The little monk said mockingly.

    If you are enlightened to Zen Buddhism, eating steamed buns is also a way of practicing Buddhism.

    Of course Tang Monk is not a Zen sect, so he said: "Everything in the world is false. What's the difference between a steamed bun and a Buddha? Today they pray for a steamed bun more than the Buddha. Tomorrow they can pray for the Buddha more than a steamed bun. Whether it's a Buddha or a steamed bun, everything is the same.  It¡¯s just an illusion created by Alaya consciousness.¡±

    The little monk obviously didn¡¯t expect that Tang Monk, who had met Tathagata, would say that Tathagata was just a steamed bun, so he should just replace all the Buddha statues in the temple with steamed buns.

    In fact, it is possible, because form is emptiness and emptiness is form. We are not attached to the Dharma nor to emptiness.

    Tang Monk directly said that Tathagata is a steamed bun, how can you say this?  The young monk believed that not everyone could become a Buddha, so he had an unparalleled respect for the Buddha in his heart.  He worships Buddha and has Buddha in his heart. Buddha is naturally not a bun. It can only be said that his current level is the same as that of Tang Monk who first entered Chang'an seventeen years ago. He maintains awe for Buddha statues.  But now, Tang Seng can say that "baozi is Buddha", which shows that his realm has reached a level where he can chat and laugh with Tathagata.

    The little monk was choked. He couldn't treat the Buddha as a bun because it was too disrespectful to the Buddha.  But if you insist on putting the Buddha on the bun, you are indeed persistent, and it will prove that you are not as good as Tang Seng.  Anyway, no one can compare with the gentle and calm monk in front of him, with a face like a moon disk.

    If you lose, the monk knows that he has lost. Since the bun and the Tathagata are the same, the same goes for the beggar, the old man, and the monk. Even with just one Chanti, anyone can become a Buddha.

    The gap between ordinary monks and Yichanti is definitely smaller than the gap between Baozi and Tathagata. Faced with Tang Monk's remarks, the young monk didn't know how to fight back.

    "Brother Monkey, if Master arranged the Buddha like this, will the Tathagata wear his shoes when he returns to the West?" Zhu Bajie was a little worried about his master.

    "Although Tathagata is unfaithful and likes to lie, he is not so narrow-minded." Sun Wukong still remembered that Tathagata had deceived him, but he did not think that a saint like Tathagata would embarrass his master because of this matter.

    The young monk knelt down to salute Tang Monk, admitted defeat, and said sincerely: "The poor monk Fahai has learned a lesson."
