Chapter 689 Unification of Opposites
Western religions were flourishing, and this was the prosperity of Western religions. When Tang Monk held a water and land conference, there were not so many people gathered in Chang'an. However, when Master Huineng came, the believers in the south traveled thousands of miles to follow, which directly affected the prices of Chang'an. For a time, various incense and Buddhist instruments, as well as Buddha statues and Buddhist scriptures in Chang'an rose in prices.
The people of Chang'an have never seen such a scene before, which is even more noisy than the water and land conference thirty years ago.
Even monsters in the demon city formed a team to enter the city, just to hear how to suddenly become a Buddha. They suddenly became a Buddha after eating, drinking, and drinking tea. This sudden enlightenment became a Buddha is really touching.
"If there is such a convenient way to become a Buddha, I want to try it." Yunyao couldn't help but say. She knew very well that the sudden enlightenment of becoming a Buddha was to promote the popularity of everyone becoming a Buddha, so that everyone knew that they had the opportunity to become a Buddha, but they could not really become a Buddha immediately. After all, Western teachings still have barriers, and it is not easy to understand their Buddha nature.
"No wonder some people will call the four evils of exegesis, clarity, Zen, and hometown wishes in the future. This Zen Buddhism is so powerful that it attracts many believers. Although it does not oppose production or family, believers have their own understanding and behavior, and are not bound by traditional Western teachings. They can be said to be as free as they want." Although everyone has Buddha nature, and as long as they can enlighten themselves, they are not really so casual, so they have to be told some rules.
This time, Shenxiu invited his junior brother Huineng to be prosperous and lively to stabilize the status of Western religion. Although Shenxiu and Huineng have different ideas, monks must praise monks at this time. Everything is going well at present, and Zen Buddhism has become an unstoppable torrent.
This is the great rise of Western Buddhism. For a moment, Buddha light appeared over Chang'an, which made Yunyao stunned. She realized that this was the real great rise. Before, Tang Seng could only make Mahayana Buddhism official support, and it took another thirty years to truly let go of the bondage. Zen Buddhism completed the great rise of Western Buddhism in one fell swoop.
The Sanskrit sounds can be heard in the three realms. The Western religion's fortune overflowed from Lingshan, the golden lotus bloomed, and the saints congratulated each other. The colorful rays of light bloomed like fireworks, rising to the thirty-third heaven and down to the Nine Nether Yellow Springs. Two Western religions held the sky and shook the earth, and the creatures of all races bowed their heads, and even the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother had to bow to the west.
Yun Yao looked at the Buddha light in Chang'an silently, knowing that the fortune of Western religions had reached an unprecedented height, far beyond the time when the Jie Sect was prosperous. After all, the Jie Sect era did not say anything about the prosperity of Jie Sect, but the prosperity of Western religions was recognized by the way of heaven.
"The only thing I can do now is survive. It is impossible to compete with the Western Church." Yunyao sighed. Seeing the grand aura of the Western Church's prosperity, no one would consider fighting head-on with the Western Church, and could only avoid the edge for the time being.
Although it is not said to be frightened, it is still like a ray of light on its back and deeply feels the gap. Zhucheng has been developing for thousands of years and is still just a native chicken and tile in front of Western religions. Even the Heavenly Court is now able to give up the disadvantage and live a life with its tail tightening.
"Did you see it? This is the great rise of Western religions, and the way of heaven has no eyes." At this time, naturally, the complaints of Mr. Hei Lian are indispensable. He came to complain to Yun Yao. In his opinion, Western religions are indiscriminate and are not worthy of the way of heaven's care for this way, but the way of heaven still takes care of them. Isn't this the way of heaven's eyes without eyes or what?
Yunyao looked at everything that was fixed around him, thinking that Hei Lian layman really came out every time, and couldn't help but say, "I have been changing constantly since our first meeting, but you have not changed. I have to say it bluntly, I hope you don't get angry, that is, I understand more and more why Western religions can prosper, because they do not have the clear concept of good and evil right and wrong as you do."
Mr. Hei Lian stared at Yun Yao. Although they resumed cooperation, their ideas did not converge. They cooperated only because Western religion was their enemy.
Yun Yao continued: "Sometimes I think that morality is the way of alliance between human races, but morality is also a powerful tool to split society. Not only morality, aesthetics, knowledge, and other things pursued by creatures are used to establish small circles to split society. Buddhism does not have the concept of right and wrong, so can it be more tolerant? In fact, the "Tao Te Ching" handed down by the Emperor Taishang also contains the view that transcends good and evil. The world is not kind to treat all things as straw dogs, and the saints are not kind to the people as straw dogs. If the saints also have good and evil morals, then they will be able to stand in line and cannot treat all races in the three realms fairly."
Yun Yao is still making progress. After showing up with Mr. Hei Lian, she also considered many issues of right and wrong, and found that Taishang Laojun's views are actually the same as Western religions, and they are both downplaying right and wrong. However, Laojun did not establish a huge force, so everyone always thinks that only Western religions are like this.
Of course, although both are indifferent to black and white, their purpose is different. Western religion is to prove that everything is nothingness. Laojun is doing nothing but doing everything. It is precisely because the saint is not kind, that he loves the world equally. The saint's work is not to take care of everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation, but to maintain the operation of the entire system. He faces the way of heaven and the law, and is the node connecting the way of heaven and the three realms. Only when unkind can one not be disturbed.
"The Tongtian Sect Master will definitely not agree with you." "According to what you said, the three religions of the People's Education, the Ans Education, and the Jie Sect were divided because of morality. Because Yuanshi Tianzun and the Tongtian Sect Master had morality, they were divided? However, if the Taishang Laojun had no morality, why should he help Yuanshi Tianzun in the Zhuxian Formation?" Mr. Hei Lian said that Yun Yao would not be stupid in the cultivation of immortals and practiced, and he would not even distinguish between right and wrong.
Sure enough, Mr. Hei Lian still insisted on his own opinion, and Yun Yao was just thinking about it. After all, she is not a saint, and although she and the Western religion are not enemies, there are already many causes and effects, and sooner or later they will be liquidated.
"Only by understanding how the enemy develops, can we find their weaknesses. Layman, don't have a disgust mentality, thinking that whether it is evil or not to distinguish good or evil is evil is justice. Facts have proved that good and evil can also become a hazard to social division, but without moral stance, it can be included in all kinds of things. Therefore, the Tao Te Ching says: The highest good is like water, water benefits all things without fighting, and is almost like Tao. Is water good? Is water evil? None of them, water benefits all things, but there is a lot of filth in the water." "The great rise of Western religion is the most colorful stage since the prehistoric times. It can be said that it is the summary of an era and the opening of an era. If we do not face it in front of it, we cannot defeat it." Yun Yao was very calm and would not really join the other party just because he understood Western religion. The tolerance of Western religion is worth learning, but they think that everything is nothing, which is not acceptable to Yun Yao.
Fortunately, there is also the "Tao Te Ching". Although Yun Yao's realm is not very high, he will continue to study hard, and those who can fight against tolerance are also tolerance. Taishang Laojun has long buried a son. His strategic vision is at least 100,000 years longer than Mr. Hei Lian, and of course at least 1,000 years longer than Yun Yao.
