Luo Sang Danzhu looked at Richard and frowned invisibly, three days ago, Richard made him lose his temper with something that brought out the news of the three ancestral relics in Tantra from his mouth, so that he had not been able to take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations with Daoxin and was even sometimes in a passive situation. Now that Richard spoke again, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

He asked slowly, "What's wrong with the little master?" ”

Richard said lightly: "I understand the martial arts competition, and the monks will stop speaking with their strength when they reach the point, but this is compared to the Dharma, how should it be compared?" The Dharma is vast and profound, and there are so many things that can be compared, and if you take them all out, you don't know when you will compare them. ”

Luo Sang Danzhu had a plan in his heart, he smiled and said: "Naturally, it is impossible to compare all, I have already said, Buddhism and martial arts are each compared to three games, so comparing Buddhism, it should be a way to choose the best way to reflect Buddhism, I think Sanskrit, can best reflect the breadth and profundity of Buddhism." How about we compare this Sanskrit? ”

Hearing this, the faces of the four Daoxin people and Kongwen changed, although Buddhism and Sanskrit are inextricably linked, for example, the six-character mantra is transliterated from Sanskrit, but in recent hundreds of years, Buddhism in the Central Plains has been advocating to go to Sanskrit culture, advocating the use of its own words and languages to spread Buddhism. Therefore, their study of Sanskrit must not be as good as the Tantra of the Western Regions, and if they follow this comparison, they will definitely lose this Dharma competition!

Thinking of this, the five of them couldn't help but glance at Richard at the same time, and felt a little grateful in their hearts, if it wasn't for Richard to ask this crucial question, they really couldn't imagine that Tantra was really shameless to such a state.

Richard said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Master Luosang, the younger generation thinks that there are many ways to embody the Dharma, and it is too one-sided to use only one in Sanskrit. ”

Luo Sang Danzhu's brows furrowed even deeper when he heard this, and he couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, I knew that it would be okay for this guy to stand up! He squeezed out a smile and said to Richard, "What does the little master think?" ”

Richard smiled and said, "The younger generation thinks that it is also a good choice. ”

Luo Sang Danzhu's face immediately changed when he heard this, and he didn't look very good, and the four Daoxin and Kongwen were overjoyed when they heard Richard's words, and they looked at Richard with more and more appreciation.

Verses, also known as verses, are sentences that are attached to some Buddhist scriptures after reading or the understanding gained in the practice of practice. Because it is mostly composed of four sentences, it has both literary form and content, and it is catchy, although it is not the main content of the Buddhist scriptures, but some people consider the verses to be the foundation of Buddhism. If the Buddhist scriptures are the trunk of the tree and the green ke, then the verses are the fruits and flowers.

And more importantly, this verse is the strength of Buddhism in the Central Plains and the weakness of Tantra in the Western Regions. If you compare this verse, the four people of Daoxin, the abbot of Kongwen, and the empty, Shi Zhixuan can pull out one of the seven people who can completely destroy all the high monks of the Tantric Sect!

After thinking for a moment, Luo Sang Danzhu raised his head and said, "The little master is reasonable, how about the first and second games are better than Sanskrit, and the third is better than the words?" ”

Richard said-for-tat: "Then why not the first and second games, and the third in Sanskrit?" ”

Luo Sang Danzhu suddenly felt a headache, yesterday was like this today, always at the most critical time Richard jumped out and made a mess of his carefully designed plan, if it wasn't for the fact that the monks couldn't commit the murder ring, he would have the heart to kill Richard!

"Amitabha." Kongwen suddenly recited a Buddha name, and said with a smile: "How about this, the first is Sanskrit, the second is Sanskrit, and the third is Zen." ”

Hearing the last two words, both Luo Sang Danzhu and Daoxin's faces changed. If you want to say what best reflects the level of the Dharma, it is neither Sanskrit nor verses, but this treatise on Zen.

Zen is like a debate between two monks, and whoever can argue the other person and make the other person speechless will win. This is the way to really compete head-to-head against the Dharma of both sides!

After thinking for a long time, Daoxin and Luosang Danzhu finally spoke at the same time: "I think this method is feasible. ”

The two immediately looked at each other, and their eyes were full of war. One of them is the four ancestors of Zen Buddhism, and the other is Tantric ****, no matter who has absolute confidence in their own Buddhist cultivation, since they can't win an absolutely favorable way of competition for themselves, it is better to follow the method proposed by Kongwen, on Zen, than hard power!

……………………………

In the evening of the same day, Buda Monastery announced that it would be closed for seven days. Early the next morning, Richard and his entourage went to the site of the Dharma competition, the Sansheng Hall, the largest side hall of Buda Temple.

By the time they arrived, there was already a sea of people inside and outside the Three Lives Hall, and every lama in the Buda Monastery had received the news that Tantra wanted to compare the level of Buddhism with the senior monks of the Central Plains, and they came here early in the morning.

Seeing Richard and others walking in, many people cast curious eyes, Buda Monastery is located in the depths of the Western Regions, for most of the lamas in the temple, they have never seen people from the Central Plains, let alone senior monks from the Central Plains.

Walking into the Hall of Three Lives, I saw Luo Sang Danzhu and many tantric monks standing on the left side of the Hall of Three Lives, and there were two tables in front of the Buddha statue in the center of the Hall of Three Lives. Seeing this, Daoxin led everyone to the right side of the Three Lives Hall and looked at the tantric people opposite.

After they had stood still, eight Glo Lamas suddenly walked in from outside the Hall of Three Lives, each of them holding a yellowed book in their hands, and after the eight of them entered the Hall of Three Lives, they divided into two groups and stood next to two tables.

Luo Sang Danzhu walked to the middle of the two tables and said, "The first scene is Sanskrit, and these eight people are holding in their hands the Sanskrit texts of my Tantra, a total of four copies, two copies of each book. You can rest assured that this eminent monk sent by our Tantric sect today has definitely not read these four texts. The four classics from left to right from easy to difficult, as long as the classics are read within the specified time, it is passed, if both sides have finished reading the four classics, then according to the total time to determine the winner, what do the four ancestors think? ”

Daoxin exchanged a look with Kong Wen beside him, and then nodded, "No problem." ”

Luosang Danzhu smiled and nodded, "Then our Tantric Sect sent out the first one today, and it is the Great Wisdom Dharma King of Zandan Temple." ”

As he spoke, a thin middle-aged man walked out of the tantric group on the left side of the Sansheng Palace, this person was wearing a purple monk's skirt, his appearance was ordinary, but his eyes were extremely deep, as if he contained a vast starry sky.

Daoxin turned his head to look at Jiaxiang, "Jiaxiang, you go." ”

Jiaxiang nodded, stood up and walked forward. As he walked past her, Richard smiled at her and made a cheering gesture.

Last night, I did a test in the room of the people, and it turned out that the highest Sanskrit attainment among all the people was actually Jiaxiang.

Jiaxiang came to the table and stood still, Luosang Danzhu glanced at her and King Dazhi, and said with a smile: "Which of the two will come first?" “

"The abbot is a guest from afar, so let her be behind me." The Great Wisdom King said with a smile, his expression full of confidence.

Luosang Danzhu nodded, then smiled and said the beginning. Before the words landed, I saw that the Great Wisdom King immediately took the book from the hands of the first Glo Lama and opened it.

"Aryava Roji Tisso, Bodhisattva Watta Gambiran, Pelachni, Abaramita Chari An, Charamano, Waiawa Roji Tisma......

One by one, the syllables spit out from his mouth, and the speed of the Great Wisdom King was not slow, but the pronunciation of each word was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears, and the classics were turned page by page, and after reading the entire book, Richard glanced at the system time, twenty-three minutes.

Luo Sang Danzhu looked at Jiaxiang with a smile, "Abbot of Sanlun, it's your turn." ”

Jiaxiang snorted coldly, took the book and held it in his hand. After Luo Sang Danzhu signaled to start, she immediately opened it and read it, and after she read a few pages, everyone was surprised to find that no matter how fluent and fast, Jiaxiang was no less than the Great Wisdom King opposite!
