Chapter 296 A New School of Thought

Chapter 296 A New School of Thought

The voice of Duo Yu Luohan, with his hands folded like a twilight drum and morning bell, rang out, “Having solved the troubles, the Buddha’s mind is clear.”

The monk in his frenzy looked like he had been knocked hard, his body appeared to stagnate, and then, slowly sat down to, sit cross-legged.

His face was still struggling, but not as crazy as it was a moment ago.

Duoyue Luohan withdrew his gaze, raised his head, and looked towards the Buddha Mountain Mystic Realm, and a rare expression of anger appeared on his furrowed face.

Worthy of the Bodhisattva’s chopped out obsession, he seemed to have realized something after I merely raised a concept!

The Buddhist sects in the Nine States seem to be more power and fruit oriented, followed by the Dharma which may be different from the Hinayana Dharma of my world, but definitely lower than the Mahayana Dharma.

At least they don’t have the concept of Mahayana Buddhism.

Seeing the old monk’s dumbfounded and seemingly enlightened demeanor, Xu Qi’an guessed that this level was secure.

“What happened just now? Why did that monk suddenly go crazy .”

“Could it be caused by the words of that silver gong just now?”

“Can a few words from the district have such power? Net nonsense.”

Ordinary people have no concept of “Mahayana Buddhism” and “Hinayana Buddhism”, so they were somewhat puzzled by the monk’s sudden madness.

Not everyone heard the monk’s words before he went berserk.

Just then, the old monk under the Bodhi Tree opened his eyes with a smile of great enlightenment, his body flowing with Buddhist rhythms, all natural.

“Many thanks for your explanation, poor monk has come to a great realization.” The old monk smiled slightly and folded his arms.

You actually had an epiphany? I didn’t think I’d have a day when I could make a monk realize his true nature with just a few words of nonsense. Xu Qi’an had mixed feelings.

Before he could open his mouth to respond, the old monk continued, “Back then, when Wen Yin was still a fourth-ranked ascetic, he had doubts as to why he couldn’t become a Buddha.

“This obsession was hidden within for countless years until his life span was about to expire and he came to the realization that there is only one Buddha in the world, and that over there is the Buddha. So he cut out the I and attained the Bodhisattva’s fruition.

“I’ve been sitting in this secret realm for many years, and I’ve never been able to figure out how to become a Buddha, much less why I can’t.”

The old monk gazed at Xu Qi’an, and as if he had passed through him, he saw himself in the far west, and finally, he folded his hands and said to himself:

“I am Buddha, Buddha is me, Amitabha!”

Man Yin is obsessed with transcending rank and becoming a figure alongside the Buddha.

And now, he finally had the epiphany that Buddha, has nothing to do with grade.

“Many thanks to the shih shi for pointing it out.”

“Master’s Buddhist teachings are exquisite, not my doing.” Xu Qi’an said sincerely.

His words were to the point of enlightenment and nudging, but to be able to have an epiphany was a result of this obsessive master’s own deep accumulation and openness to enlightenment.

Just as a few short sentences just now, ordinary people hear them in their ears and do not feel much, but Buddhist monks are like twilight drums and morning bells, because they understand the meaning at once, and even make an extension and realization in their minds.

Suddenly there was a wind in the secret realm, and the old monk turned into green smoke and dispersed, not knowing where he had gone.

Rustle.

The linden tree swayed and actually produced a green linden fruit that hung heavy on the branch.

The fruit exuded a crystalline green light, and at a glance, it was clear that it was not a mortal product.

The Buddha’s realm is silent, only the Bodhi tree “rustles”, but outside the Buddha’s territory there is a lot of activity.

Seeing this, the people of the capital were no longer stunned and shocked, they found it unbelievable.

If I heard correctly, if I saw correctly, it was this Lord Silver Gong who nudged the old monk under the tree to great enlightenment, and for that, the old monk thanked him gratefully.

A martial artist who nudged the high priest and brought him to great enlightenment?

Such an absurd and bizarre scene that the people in the capital forgot to cheer.

“What’s all this talk about?”

On top of the restaurant, Chu Yuanzhan asked Master Hengyuan beside him.

“Look at the flowers in the fog, look at the flowers in the fog Lord Xu said more clearly, said more clearly” Hengyuan ignored, just muttered.

Xu Ningyan’s words had such a strong impact on the Buddhist sect members? Chu Yuanzhan was stunned.

This barrier is considered to be broken? Xu Qi’an heart a joy, fondly looked at the green linden.

Better to go into the temple at the top of the hill and talk about it! He said in his heart.

Turning around, he was about to leave this place, when he suddenly heard a loud voice that resounded throughout the entire Buddha Mountain.

“What is Mahayana Buddhism and what is Hinayana Buddhism? Shih Shi Xu said it clearly before leaving.”

Outside, everyone was stunned as they looked toward Master Du Du, the hallowed Lohan actually interfered in the two men’s fight, which was something that the crowd hadn’t expected.

But at this moment, the face of Duyi Luohan was so serious, so serious that people thought that they were facing a great event like the collapse of the sky, and they did not dare to make a sound of scolding.

What’s this about Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism?

It’s completely incomprehensible.

The commoners didn’t understand it, but someone in the top echelons of power in the capital had a slight taste for it.

For example, Wei Yuan, for example, Wang Shoufu.

This is the voice of the Duyue Luohan. It’s true that the outside world can hear my voice and see my behavior, but what’s the deal with directly intervening in the fight?

Xu Qi’an frowned and grunted coldly, “May I ask Master, what is Buddha?”

“Before the Buddha, for seven hundred and twenty-three thousand three hundred and sixty-eight years, no one became a Buddha. After the Buddha, for three thousand four hundred and ninety-one years, no one became a Buddha.

“A Buddha is a Buddha, how can anyone become a Buddha!”

There was a questioning tone in Master Duo’s voice.

It turned out that the Buddhist sect in this world had existed for three thousand four hundred and ninety-one years, so why hadn’t there been a Mahayana Buddhist school of thought yet?

Xu Qi’an pondered for a moment and came to the conclusion that the world of Kyushu was honored by force and realm, whoever had the biggest fist was the big brother. Thus inhibiting the play of thoughts.

And in his world, where everyone was flesh and blood, it was instead a constant collision of ideological differences.

The environment is different and the direction of development is different.

Since this is the case, then I will have to have a good talk with you about what Mahayana Buddhism is, well, it is Mahayana Buddhism as I understand it myself Xu Qi An said in a deep voice:

“Therefore, in the eyes of the Buddhist disciples of the world, the Buddha is the Buddha, not the Buddha is the Buddha. In my opinion, this kind of thinking is simply ridiculous.”

The words were so awkwardly spoken that no one understood them except the Buddhist monks outside the field.

Monk Pure Dust couldn’t help but say, “Where is the ridiculousness, you must speak clearly.”

Grandmaster Du Du glanced at him without saying a word, moving his gaze away to look at Xu Qi’an again.

“Of course it’s ridiculous, take the warlocks of the Divine Superintendent as an example, the Superintendent is a first-rate warlock, but a first-rate warlock is not a Superintendent, this should become a consensus, right? But in the eyes of your Buddhist sect, the Buddha is the Buddha, isn’t this very ridiculous and strange?

“Shouldn’t a Buddha represent a supreme fruitfulness rather than a single person?”

This is a treacherous statement. The Buddha is the founding father of the Buddhist sect, the one and only Buddha, the being they are to worship.

Shouldn’t such an exalted immortal god-like figure be the only Buddha.

However, Xu Qi’an’s words did make sense, thus the Buddhist monks were unable to refute them for a moment.

Xu Qi’an continued, “So, there’s a question I’d like to ask the Master, what exactly is Buddha, a way to gain power, or an idea?”

Master Duo’s face remained serious, but his eyes were no longer annoyed; instead, he thought carefully for a moment and said, “Both.”

“That’s why I say that this makes the difference between Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism.” Xu Qi’an spoke with vigor.

The monks at the bottom looked at each other, scratching their hearts as if it was difficult, eager to hear Xu Qi’an’s theories in one breath.

Stargazer Building, Bagua Terrace, Supervisor is staring wide-eyed and muttering in a low voice: “This tortoise grandson, he dares to say anything, it’s over, it’s over.”

Emperor Yuan Jing looked back and asked, “Supervisor Zheng, what did you say?”

The Supervisor smiled, “Your Majesty, Xu Qi’an has given you a great gift.”

Emperor Yuan Jing frowned in disbelief.

But the superintendent did not answer him.

Wei Yuan slowly got up, his hands clenched into fists in his hanging sleeves as he seemed to have thought of something.

“Awesome.”

Chief Wang whispered.

Awesome? Miss Wang looked over in surprise, wanting to ask, seeing her father’s fully concentrated posture, she could only swallow her doubts back into her stomach.    ”In the current Buddhist sect, power is honored and rank is the root, and the goal of every person who cultivates Buddhism is to achieve a fruitful position, either as a luohan or a bodhisattva. To put it bluntly, it is to fulfill oneself. As for universalizing all sentient beings, it has to take a backseat, Master Duo, am I right?”

Master Duyue was silent for a long time and folded his hands.

That’s the default.

“Thus, with force as the honor, rank as the root, and Buddha as the Buddha, I call this the Hinayana Buddhism.” Xu Qi’an looked at the sky and spoke aloud:

“Master Tuo, all the Buddhist monks, am I right?”

A monk retorted, “If this is Hinayana Buddhism, then, what is Mahayana Buddhism? Is it your claim that all beings are Buddhas? This is simply absurd.”

“You will find it absurd, that’s because you are practicing Hinayana Buddhism, which essentially still honors the rank, which is self-serving. But what if it is honored by the heart?”

“The heart is honored?”

Master Duo Yu recited the Buddha’s name and clasped his hands together, “Please enlighten me, monks.”

“You think that there is only one Buddha in the world, that a Buddha is a Buddha, and that a human being cannot become a Buddha, but can only cultivate to the Bodhisattva or Lohan fruition. But, don’t forget, is a Buddha born as a Buddha?” Xu Qi’an spoke eloquently:

“I think that everyone has the Buddha nature, only to be mesmerized by the dirtiness of the mortal world, but after practicing and illuminating the self, everyone can become a Buddha.

“Master, seeing nature is both Buddha!”

Boom!

A shocking thunder suddenly struck through the sky, and if anything, a Sanskrit sound rang out.

The crowd was stunned to realize that Master Du Du’s body was covered in flashes of golden light, echoing the heaven and earth visions.

In Buddhism, it’s an epiphany.

Seeing nature is both Buddha and seeing nature is both Buddha . Master Duo was immersed in a marvelous state of being, as if in a state of ecstasy.

A voice cried out wildly in his heart: why is the Buddha a Buddha, why can’t I be a Buddha.

No, everyone can become a Buddha.

This Buddha is not the Buddha on the system of practice, but the Buddha within.

Xu Qi’an’s words might only seem to make some sense to outsiders, but to the ears of someone who had been practicing Buddhism for many years like Grandmaster Du Du, they were simply deafening.

Is it true that Buddha can only be honored by power?

Can a Buddha really only be a Buddha?

How narrow-minded is that.

If this is the case, then the Buddha’s light shining in the Nine States is an empty word. Only when everyone can become a Buddha can the Nine States be truly illumined by the Buddha’s light.

This is the real Dharma.

The Buddha represents the pinnacle of the Buddhist system, but Buddhism should not be limited to the Buddha.

The idea of Mahayana Buddhism emerged, and new schools of thought appeared .

The other monks did not have an epiphany, but had their own epiphanies, and even felt enlightened, glimpsing a different dharma and a new realm of thought.

Among them, Master Pure Dust was the most deeply touched and mesmerized.

In the area of the night watchmen, the gold gongs suddenly heard a low laugh, coming from Wei Yuan, who had stepped out of the pergola.

“A good epiphany, a good epiphany!” Wei Yuan said word for word.

“Wonderful, wonderful!” Chief Minister Wang stroked his beard and laughed.

What do you mean? What’s so funny about these two powerful ministers in the highest position? Is Master Doo-doo’s epiphany something to be happy about?

Although the Buddhist Sect and the Great Fathers are allies, but at the moment, the atmosphere of the sword is tense, and they are competing and fighting with each other, so they are also considered half enemies.

The civil and military officials did not find this something to be happy about.

Stargazer roof, Bagua Terrace.

Emperor Yuan Jing let out a laugh that had never been so joyful.

“Xu Qi’an put forward the idea of Mahayana Buddhism, and it would have been just as well if this Master Duo Er had not had an epiphany; since he had an epiphany, when he returns to the Western Regions in the future, he will surely preach Mahayana Buddhism.

“And this will inevitably result in a clash of concepts between large and small Buddhas, at which time, the argument will be light, and once a schism arises . Hahahahaha.”

He hadn’t laughed so freely in years.

Allies are only allies when they are evenly matched, and when one side is getting stronger and the other weaker, they are bound to be separated from each other.

This is the state of affairs between the Dafeng and the Buddhist Sect right now, with the Dafeng border suffering from the nuisance of the barbarians in the north and south, and the Buddhist Sect standing idly by.

If a schism arose in the Buddhist Sect in the future, then both sides of the schism would enlist the Great Founder to support them, and the Great Founder would be able to improve his status as well as be profitable.

“Supervisor Zheng is right, it is indeed a great gift, very good, this great gift from Xu Qi’an, I am very satisfied.”

In the pergola, quite a few nobles raised their heads in dismay and looked at the roof of the Szechenwald building.

“Is that His Majesty’s laughter?!”

“What is Your Majesty laughing at, what is there to laugh at, strange, Duke Wei and Chief Minister Wang are so perverse, and so is Your Majesty.”

“Mahayana Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism”

Monk Hengyuan was mesmerized and muttered, “I can also become a Buddha, a martial monk can also become a Buddha, and everyone in the world can become a Buddha. Universalizing all sentient beings, knowing nature is both Buddha.”

“What did the dog slave say?”

Framed looked at Huaiqing with wide eyes, she knew it was powerful, but she just didn’t understand it, so she could only ask the knowledgeable Huaiqing.

“I don’t know what he said, but what will happen, I do know.” Wyking said.

“Consequences?” Framed blinked his peach eyes.

“From now on, the Buddhist sect will be divided into Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism.” Huaiqing revealed a smirk.

At the same time, Erlang Xu explained to the golden gongs, “From now on, Buddhism will be divided into Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism.”

The golden gongs instantly widened their eyes, without needing to say too much, they already knew the meaning contained in Xu New Year’s words.

It’s also clear why Wei Gong made a chuckle.

Jiang Lunzhong was pleasantly surprised, his voice was low, with a tremor, a tremor of excitement: ”This, this, the Buddhist Sect is in trouble, what has Xu Ningyan done? What has he done? Hahahahaha.”

In a few words, he divided Buddhism into Mahayana and Hinayana Xu Ningyan did something extraordinary. Duke Wei, did you expect all this.

The eyes of the ordinary woman with an ordinary posture glowed, she hated the Buddhist Sect, incomparably. That’s why she purposely sent a Sixth Grade martial artist to compete with Monk Jingshi.

The purpose is to suppress the Buddhist flame.

Unfortunately, the people under his hand were not up to the task, and instead of accomplishing any of it, he became a stepping stone for the other side.

Today, mixing in the area of the night watchers to watch the fight, hilarity is one aspect, she is more interested in watching the Buddhist Sect’s people suffer and see them fail in the fight.

Xu Qi’an hadn’t won yet, but this surprise was enough for the woman to go home and roll around happily in her bed.

He’s really something woman thought to herself.

And at this moment, among the nobles, some people slowly chewed out the mystery, and one of them stared wide-eyed, like seeing a stunning beauty stripped naked and waiting on the bed.

The amazement and ecstasy was hard to hide.

When the civil and military officials look at Xu Qi’an again, their eyes are different, although this person is a castrate party, and called people hate, but have to admit, he can always bring surprises.

It was surprisingly reassuring to have him in everything.

PS: These chapters are really slow, don’t scold me, you can all see how liver I am. The slow writing is a problem of my ability, not a problem of my attitude. I’ve been working so hard every day, so hard, enough to see the sincerity of it.

You can call out a genius for not thinking ahead and having fun all day, but you can’t call out someone with mediocre talent who works hard and yards all night.

My slow code is not I have no sincerity, I swell, really my personal ability problem, I personally is not really good at writing this kind of big scene pretending, I am good at writing daily.

I’m trying to transition this one, so a lot of the writing style is unfamiliar, plus I don’t know much about Buddhism either, and I’m afraid of creating big holes in the logic, so I’m being very careful with it, and I’m writing it in a very, very stuck-up way, really.

And, starting with this episode of the fight, in three days, I wrote 27,000 words, which averages out to 9,000 words a day, which isn’t a lot, and it feels like it blows away most full-time authors.

So I’m actually kind of sad to see the comment section spamming updates every day. Because I really put my best foot forward and tried my hardest

All right, take a shower, take a nap. I have to go to work.
