Two, five, six, strong
From the bottom of my heart, Xun Daozi does not have any prejudice against Buddhism. Buddhism can also be said to be a school of thought, which is not much different from other schools of thought.
Xun Dao Zi Xun Dao Zi only cares about some of the ideas and doctrines preached by Buddhism; none of which is the karma and retribution taught by Buddhism. This 'karma' is not bad to say, but when Buddhism promotes this 'karma', it pays more attention to one thing.
'News from another world'.
What does it mean? It means that everything in this life is the result of the previous life, the cause of this life, and the result of the next life. It means, 'The success of your life in this life is the result of your good deeds in the previous life; the suffering you have suffered in this life is the retribution for the evil and adultery in the previous life. This
If you endure humiliation and hardship in this life and do good deeds and accumulate virtue, you may be born into a good family and enjoy a good life in the next life; if you do evil and commit adultery in this life, you will be punished in the next life and may enter the realm of hungry ghosts, animals, or hell.
Or be reborn and suffer all kinds of suffering.'
You can say that this is also to guide people to do good and warn evil people. But who is your favorite in this propaganda?
Xun Daozi In his previous life, Buddhism became one of the three major religions in the world, with hundreds of millions of followers and a huge momentum. Why is it so prosperous?
Buddhism preaches this way, and those who like it most are rulers and those with vested interests. Why? What do you think when you are oppressed and persecuted? Could it be that the suffering you suffer as preached by Buddhism is due to your sins in previous lives?
Only those who do evil will suffer in this life, and everything is just the retribution of their own sins. In this life, accept the consequences, suffer, and repay the sins of the previous life. Have good thoughts in your heart, accumulate virtue and do good, and seek good rewards in the next life!
What a wonderful people! What a wonderful servant! Is there any better governed than this? Is there any better slave than this?
Don’t fight back when hit, don’t retaliate when scolded! You are obedient, can endure all sufferings, can bear all sins! Who can make a person who is known as the spirit of all things become such an excellent and obedient person? Who else but Buddha?
Vigorously promote. Those who vigorously advocate Buddhist teachings have been rulers throughout the history. The people have become devout Buddhists. Who will resist the tyrannical rule? Suffering is not because of the sins you committed in your previous life and the evil you did in this life.
Retribution? The reason why I rule you and conquer you is not because I have accumulated good deeds in my previous life and have given me good rewards in this life?
This propaganda of Buddhism is good! The rulers are satisfied, and the vested interests are satisfied! The suffering people have found the reason for their suffering, have dependence in their hearts, and have a little hope of the next life. It is good to have hope! There are more Buddhist believers
, has prospered and saved so many people, what a great merit!
Xun Daozi also heard a saying in his previous life: 'Monk Zhan, the famous mountain in the world!'
Can you think about how much information is contained in this sentence?
How many practicing monks in the world are engaged in production? Where do these monks get their food, drink, clothing, and clothing?
The huge temple property has also made many temples exploiters and the same vested interests.
Some people say that the Chinese civilization later became a castrated civilization. Starting from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the inherited culture began to be continuously dismembered, misinterpreted, and intentionally emasculated; the introduction of Buddhism gave a bloody blow to the people's minds.
.The blood of the Qin and Han Dynasties was castrated by this widely spread Buddhism.
Think about the Northern and Southern Dynasties! How many people and monks are there in the country? How many people are there in the Chinese nation? Is there a more absurd era than that?
It is precisely with this profound memory that Xundaozi has a cautious attitude towards Buddhism. As a family, your words are good, as a school of thought, you are good, and you have your own opinions. But your extremely deceptive opinions and teachings have made the entire clan
It is wrong to bear the disaster of nearly annihilating the entire clan, and you cannot pass the bottom line of Xun Daozi.
Facing Xun Daozi: "'People in Nanzhanbuzhou are greedy for sexual pleasure and enjoy misfortunes, killing and committing many crimes. As the saying goes, there is a murderous place of words and a sea of right and wrong.' Is this really so? Or is it an excuse for the Buddha to go to Nanzhanbuzhou to preach?
In the eyes of the Buddha, what is 'good', 'evil', 'right', and 'wrong'? And how should you help people to be good? What is the content of your Tripitaka Sutra about talking about heaven, earth, and saving ghosts?
"Buddha, can you please speak to me?" Maitreya Buddha really didn't know how to answer the question.
After pondering for a long time, Maitreya Buddha had no choice but to say: "What does the Heavenly Lord want from my Buddhist school's 'Eastern Transmission of Buddhism'? Please tell the Heavenly Lord!"
Xun Daozi looked at Maitreya Buddha and said, "Can Buddha make the decision?" His eyes were quite serious, which made Maitreya Buddha feel a little panicked.
Maitreya Buddha hesitated for a moment and then said: "I would like to ask the Heavenly Lord to tell you his true intention first. If the poor monk can make the decision, he will reply to the Heavenly Lord. Even if the poor monk cannot make the decision, the poor monk will repay my Buddhism and give the Heavenly Lord an answer. The Heavenly Lord wishes.
How about next?"
Xundaozi thought for a while and said: "It seems difficult for Buddha to make the decision on this matter. Why don't Buddha go back to Lingshan first and let the person who can make the decision come and talk to Pindao!"
Hearing Xun Daozi's words, Maitreya Buddha's smiling face changed, showing a hint of gloom, and there was a hint of jealousy in it. He said in a deep voice: "What do you mean, the Heavenly Lord hasn't come out yet? How do you know that a poor monk can't do it?"
Lord? Heavenly Lord should tell you what the request is and let the poor monk judge whether he can make the decision!"
Xun Daozi smiled slightly and said: "Since Lord Buddha has such confidence, I will tell you what I want to ask to see if the Buddha can do it!" After a pause, Xun Daozi continued: "My request is simple, and Buddhism wants to
'Buddha's teachings are spread to the east'. The Buddhist teachings and teachings must be recognized by our Taoist sect and approved by our Taoist sect before they can be preached to the mortal world and preached! Can the Buddha answer this point for poor Taoists?" After saying this, Xun Daozi looked at it calmly.
With Maitreya Buddha.
As soon as Maitreya Buddha heard Xun Daozi's request, his eyes were already flashing with anger, and his heart was even more shocked. How could he agree to such a teaching? Immediately after Xun Daozi finished speaking, Maitreya Buddha said in a cold voice: "I'm sorry for this rude request, Lord Heaven."
It's hard for this poor monk to agree! My Buddhist sect's "Buddhist Dharma Transmission to the East" has been personally approved by the Taoist Patriarch, how could the Heavenly Lord make such a rude request?" His face was already as pale as water.
Xun Daozi was unmoved and just smiled and said: "Pin Dao also said that Buddha cannot be the master, so I don't want Buddha to agree. Buddha only needs to go back to Lingshan to bring Pin Dao's request to the person who can make the decision."
That's it. Someone who can make the decision will come and discuss with me! Buddha, please come back!" Then the eviction order was issued.
Maitreya Buddha stared at Xun Daozi and said, "Aren't you afraid that Master Dao will blame you for doing such a reckless thing?"
Xun Daozi laughed and said: "Pindao is acting in accordance with the instructions of the Taoist ancestors. How can the Taoist ancestors blame him?"
When Maitreya Buddha heard Xun Daozi's unscrupulous laughter and words, he was unsure. Could it be that Daozu really had some instructions for Xun Daozi? Otherwise, how could he have the confidence to act so unscrupulously?
The undecided Maitreya Buddha said: "As the Heavenly Lord wishes, the poor monk will take it back to Lingshan Mountain. What's your reply? I, the Buddhist disciple, will negotiate with the Heavenly Lord again! Farewell!" After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and left.
Xun Daozi said coldly: "No!" He let Maitreya Buddha go out of the pavilion, but Su Xin took a few steps to let Zi Ling send Maitreya Buddha out of the cave, open the gate of the mountain guarding formation, and let him leave.
Maitreya Buddha left angrily. Su Xin returned to the bamboo pavilion, refilled the tea for Xun Daozi, and asked softly: "Brother, is what I said before really the Dao Patriarch's instruction?"
Xun Daozi picked up the tea cup, took a sip, looked at Su Xin's slightly worried expression, smiled and said: "Sister Su Xin, I know what you are worried about! You don't need to worry, why would I speak randomly!"
Su Xin's face softened, she took a spiritual fruit for Xun Daozi, and said, "Brother, I know it, so Su Xin can rest assured!" The bright face made Xun Daozi feel calm in his heart.
Maitreya Buddha was furious in his heart and immersed himself in his journey. He just wanted to rush back to Lingshan Mountain as soon as possible to discuss a way. If Xun Daozi really got some instructions from the Taoist ancestors and was serious about messing up the "Eastern transmission of Buddhism", then Buddhism would be in trouble.
There is really no chance of success.
Hurrying slowly, Maitreya Buddha finally hurried back to Lingshan. He walked straight into Leiyin Temple without stopping and rushed into the Main Hall. He ignored the surprised eyes of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats and bhikkhus, and walked straight to the seat of the Great Sun Tathagata with his hands clasped together.
He gave a salute and said: "Seeing the Great Sun Tathagata, the poor monk went to the Xundao Mountain to meet the Xundao Heavenly Lord, and came back to me, Buddha, to report the results of the discussion!"
The Great Sun Tathagata is sitting on the lotus throne, with thousands of golden lights behind him, with a warm smile on his face, and one hand in the shape of a flower. Listening to Maitreya Buddha's reply, he smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Maitreya Buddha! I wonder what the Buddha will do to discuss here? What about the discussion?"
Dao Tianzun, can you promise that the Taoist sect will cooperate with my Buddhist sect to carry out the "Eastern Spread of Buddhism"?" His eyes were shining with hope, and there was a hint of excitement.
Previously, Buddhism relied on Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's vows to obtain limited support from the underworld for Buddhism's "Eastern Spread of Buddhism"; and after many negotiations with God Haotian, God Haotian finally agreed to provide necessary cooperation from Heaven for Buddhism's "Eastern Spread of Buddhism"; along the way, Buddhism was spread
Plans for testing and setting up disasters have begun to be deployed, and initial results have been achieved. But now as long as the Taoist sect agrees to cooperate, the 'Eastern Spread of Buddhism' can be launched. Once the Great Sun Tathagata thinks of the 'Eastern Spread of Buddhism', once it is successfully completed, Buddhism will definitely flourish.
, I have made a great contribution in this process, I will definitely gain great merits, enjoy the great fortune of Buddhism, and my Taoism will definitely make a great progress. Maybe then I will not be afraid to seek the Taoist disciples, and I will be a little uncontrollably excited.
The Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Bhikkhus who were sitting on both sides of the hall and listening to the Great Sun Tathagata were also looking at Maitreya Buddha who was standing in front of the Great Sun Tathagata's throne with wide eyes, hoping to hear Maitreya Buddha say that Xun Daozi had promised to cooperate with the Taoist sect.
Buddhism's "Buddha's Dharma spreads eastwards", after all, is also related to their vital interests.
Maitreya Buddha smiled bitterly and replied: "Xundao Tianzun did not agree to cooperate with our Buddhist sect in the "Eastern Spread of Buddhism", but requested that the Buddhist sect's "Buddha's Dharma" spread to the East" and the teachings must be recognized by our Taoist sect.
Only with the permission of my Taoist sect can we preach and preach to the mortal world!'. This was what the Xundao Tianzun said personally at that time!"
