Chapter 318 The True Truth of Buddha, the East Land is Far Away

When he heard Huo Yuanzhen say something wrong, Ayuga frowned and said without saying anything. The Vajra Dharma King said, "I remembered it too. The Buddha became a Buddha and came to the world. He said this sentence. What was wrong?"

Huo Yuanzhen said: "This sentence is not wrong. I am saying that you understand it wrongly. (Download. Building)"

"Hmph, what else is wrong? It is obvious that the Buddha in the world is the greatest and the Buddha is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is the most one."

"It's not only wrong, but also outrageously wrong."

Huo Yuanzhen glanced at the Vajra Dharma King, turned around to the Sala King and the ministers who had been listening to, and said, "The true meaning of this Buddha's words is mainly reflected in the word "I". The word "I" does not only refer to the Buddha himself, but to everyone in all human beings. The correct explanation of this sentence should be: People are upright in the universe, and each person is his own master, determining his own destiny, and not obeying anyone or any god beyond humanity. All enlightenment, achievements, and attainments are entirely attributed to people's own efforts and talents."

After saying this, Huo Yuanzhen turned to look at the Vajra Dharma King: "If you believe in Buddha, you will definitely go to heaven, nor if you don't believe in Buddha, you will definitely go to hell. A person's good and bad fortune, success or failure, honor and disgrace determines whether his behavior is good or evil, and whether he is hardworking. No one can promote you to heaven, and no one can push you into hell. Where you go in the end depends entirely on what you do."

The Vajra Dharma King was stunned when he heard this, but he still argued: "The Buddha has supreme wisdom and is unique between heaven and earth. How can he not be the only one in me?"

"The Dharma King's words are even more wrong. Didn't you hear that all sentient beings have Buddha nature and that all sentient beings can become Buddhas. There are some orders of hearing the Tao. Will there be no other person or creature who become Buddhas after the Buddha becomes Buddha?"

"No, what you said is lightweight. According to your statement, I, Vajra Dharma King, can become a Buddha?"

Huo Yuanzhen smiled and said, "The Buddha only pointed out the path to becoming a Buddha, but this path requires you to complete it with perseverance, wisdom and perseverance. If you do not have enough perseverance and compassion and wishes, how can you achieve the great way?"

As he spoke, Huo Yuanzhen turned around and said to the people around him: "Buddha is not a unique Buddha. Everyone can become a Buddha everywhere, and there can be Buddhas everywhere, not only in this world there are Buddhas."

After saying that, Huo Yuanzhen paused: "The starry sky outside is vast, and one star is another world. Countless starry sky forms the universe, and there can be Buddhas on countless planets in the universe. Although the Buddha has boundless magic power, he is not a god, but a state of mind. The Buddha does not admit that there is a real god."

After saying this, King Sala, who was sitting on the throne, finally became interested.

Originally, he was dissatisfied with the new prince consort who broke into the palace without authorization, but he himself was also a Buddhist and had research on Buddhist knowledge. However, Buddhist scriptures are scarce now, and he himself was not very familiar with many things. When he heard the prince consort talk about it below, he finally couldn't help but ask.

"Then why don't anyone else become a Buddha?"

Huo Yuanzhen looked at King Sala on the throne and smiled: "I still said the same thing. The Buddha has pointed out the way. How to go on is with people themselves. There is no shortcut to becoming a Buddha. Practice is a little skill. Without a cold, how can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms?"

"Okay! What a cold without experiencing the bones, how can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms!"

As soon as Huo Yuanzhen finished speaking, Ayuga next to him shouted loudly and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "Monk, you are right. Although I, Ayuga, do not believe in Buddha, I agree with your last sentence."

Huo Yuanzhen smiled at Ayuga and signaled that although this person had bloody hands, he was not distorted.

The more Huo Yuanzhen said this, the ugly look of the Vajra Dharma King would be, but he still insisted on himself: "I don't think so. The Buddha said, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground. Isn't that saying that as long as you can repent, you can become a Buddha."

Huo Yuanzhen looked at the Vajra Dharma King with some pity: "The saying of putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha is correct, but it does not mean that you can become a Buddha immediately, but that you have the heart to be kind and the most basic conditions for becoming a Buddha. If you can become a Buddha with just a heart to be kind, I don't have to practice."

When King Sala on the throne nodded frequently when he heard Huo Yuanzhen's words, he had a great understanding of the monk's Taoism. After hearing him say for a while, he felt enlightened.

Only Princess Nivea looked a little pale. The princess she chose was so outstanding, but will such an outstanding person really belong to her?

King Sala even said excitedly: "I have been thinking a lot after hearing what the prince consort said. It seems that after Nivea gets married, I should find an opportunity to pass the throne to Ayuga, and then find a quiet and uninhabited mountain alone to comprehend the Dharma, so as to strive to go to the Pure Land in the future."

Huo Yuanzhen glanced at King Sala. The king had not given up on the idea of ​​letting him be a prince consort. He was really persistent, but it didn't matter. He would let him give up.

He said to King Sala: "Your Majesty, I want to remind you that if you go to the deep mountains to practice alone, you may not be able to go to the Pure Land, let alone become a Buddha."

"Why is this?" King Sala said strangely.

"Didn't you hear the Buddhist scriptures say: Buddhism is in the world, and it is not separated from the world's awakening, and seeking Bodhi from the world is just like finding a rabbit's horn."

Huo Yuanzhen said a Buddhist scripture, and then said: "This means that practice must be in the human world, and enlightenment must also be in the human world. Every person who has the will to the Tao cannot dislike this world, escape from humans in this world, and cultivate to achieve the right result by keeping one's own body. Such a right result does not exist."

"Oh! So that's it, not because I heard from the master... I thought that I would be in the deep mountains when I heard from the prince consort."

Huo Yuanzhen smiled and said, "If there is a Pure Land, don't hate the world. The Pure Land of the Western Pure Land, the Eastern Glazed World, the Central Posa World and other Pure Land are used to yearn for. Only by transforming the human world into a Pure Land and turning the hell into a Pure Land is the ultimate wish and purpose of my Buddha."

King Sala was solemnly listening to his deafening words. When Huo Yuanzhen finished his last few words, he had already stood up and wanted to salute Huo Yuanzhen, but the other party was the prince consort chosen by his daughter. If he didn't salute, he wanted to do so. It was really a dilemma.

When the Vajra Dharma King heard this next to him, he finally realized that he had absolutely no chance to defeat the monk in front of him in terms of Buddhist teachings. This person is the person who has understood the true meaning of Buddhism, and he doesn't even understand the superficiality. Everything he said now is just something someone taught him.

After looking around, the disciples behind him were all incompetent and could not help him. The Vajra Dharma King had the idea of ​​leaving temporarily, but he could not find a suitable excuse for a while.

The scene was a brief cold scene, and Huo Yuanzhen looked at the people in the venue with bright eyes. At this moment, Ayuga seemed to be in deep thought. Obviously, his words also touched him.

If this Mauryan Dynasty's greatest future king can understand Buddhism in advance, it will be considered a merit.

After a while, King Sala finally asked again: "Will this world be confused by my heart if you don't practice in the deep mountains?"

"The only one who can mess with your heart is yourself, not these three thousand worlds."

Huo Yuanzhen secretly applauded in his heart that King Sala was really cooperative, so he had already reached the point.

Continuing, "It is not impossible for a person to practice and understand, but even in the end, such practice will only benefit you and at most you can attain the Arhat fruit. This is Hinayana Buddhism, which is the Buddhist teachings learned in India now."

Speaking of this issue, the Vajra Dharma King, who was already desperate, suddenly found Huo Yuan's real flaw and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? Now there is only Hinayana Buddhism, and there are not all the scriptures of Hinayana Buddhism. If you don't learn this, who will you learn?"

As soon as he said that, the people next to him nodded. Although the monk said it well, he finally came back to the fundamental problem. Without Buddhist scriptures, how can you learn Buddhism?

Finally, the most critical issue was mentioned. Huo Yuanzhen was also in a state of great emotion. He looked around and said, "The world is so great, not only India has Buddhist scriptures."

The Vajra Dharma King sneered, "There are no Buddhist scriptures in India. Could it be that there were Buddhist scriptures in the prosperous Tang Dynasty?"

"good!"

Huo Yuanzhen took a step forward, and his voice became louder unconsciously: "There are not only Buddhist scriptures in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but also Mahayana Buddhism."

“Mahayana Buddhism!”

King Sala was excited: "Now the only scriptures I have in India are just a few Hinayana teachings. I wonder if what the prince consort said seriously?"

Huo Yuanzhen was quite helpless about King Sala who was stubbornly called his son-in-law, but now he was very worried. He walked to the center of the hall and said, "Yes, I have the Three Collections of Mahayana Buddhism, which can transcend the dead and ascend to heaven, can overcome difficult people and escape suffering, can resolve the knots of hundreds of grievances, and can eliminate the disasters without any falsehood."

When King Sala heard Huo Yuanzhen confirming that he had Mahayana Buddhism, he finally couldn't help but walk down from the throne and said to Huo Yuanzhen: "But I don't know where your Mahayana Buddhism is?"

Huo Yuanzhen turned around and faced King Sala and said solemnly: "The Mahayana teachings are now in Henan Province, the prosperous Tang Dynasty, at the Shaolin Temple of Songshan, I am a monk!"

King Sala was even more excited when he heard this and said to the Vajra Dharma King beside him: "National Master, you are from the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and your son-in-law is also from the prosperous Tang Dynasty. I guess this prosperous Tang Dynasty is not very far from my Tianzhu."

Seeing that King Sala was getting better and better towards Huo Yuan, he felt a little uncomfortable and said coldly: "It's really not far away. You can walk through mountains and rivers, and you will guarantee that you will not go astray. It will probably take two years to walk."

"Two years!"

King Sala said in surprise: "How far is it?"

"It's not far, it's probably only 108,000 miles."

After hearing the Vajra Dharma King say it, Huo Yuanzhen almost laughed out loud. The Vajra Dharma King actually cooperated so much that he really made a hundred and eight thousand miles away.

But this is good. See if King Sala of India has the confidence to go to Shaolin to obtain his own scriptures.

The matter of Tianzhu is now at the real critical moment!
