Chapter 42: The Dharma is Deep

They saw that Lan Yudie first went up to ask Zen Master Nan Huikong, and now the little monk said that Huikong couldn't answer because his Dharma was not profound enough. Naturally, they thought that the three of them were a group and had come specifically to challenge the White Horse Temple.

So I automatically gave way to make it convenient for this little monk so that he could go up and debate the Dharma with Huikong.

God is pitiful, Xiao Fei's words just now are indeed unintentional. He had just come down from the mountain, and he knew nothing about human affairs, and he would say whatever he wanted in his heart. It was also because of this that he challenged the White Horse Temple.

"Little monk, I didn't expect you to be so kind that you would dare to challenge the monks of the White Horse Temple!" Blue Rain Butterfly gave him a thumbs up.

"I didn't challenge them!" Xiao Fei said, "I'm just telling the truth. ”

Xiao Fei's words, the face of the Huikong Zen Master of the White Horse Temple changed: You just said that my Buddhism is not profound enough, and now you have to emphasize it again? This is simply a clear kick in the hall, if you can't convince the little monk today, then the exhibition hall of the White Horse Temple doesn't need to be opened.

"Little monk, come up, the poor monk wants to debate the Dharma with you!" Huikong pointed at the little monk and said in a somewhat unkind tone.

"I don't debate the Dharma with you, according to the rules, debating the Dharma between Buddhist disciples requires a specific opportunity, and you can't debate for the sake of debating." Xiao Fei said. The debate of Buddhism is not about winning a battle but about enlightening each other and enlightening each other.

"Okay, okay, it's okay if you don't debate the Dharma with me." Huikong said. "Didn't you just say that this little girl's problem is easy to solve, then you can come up and solve it for everyone to see. If you don't show up today, my White Horse Temple won't let you go. ”

After saying that, three or four warrior monks came to them and didn't let them leave.

"It doesn't look like it's going to be so easy for us to leave today." Lin Xiaowu said.

"Little monk, what are you afraid of when you go up? And I'm willing to perform again. Lan Yudie said to him confidently, "I don't believe that you, a little monk, can easily solve these eternal problems." ”

After saying that, Lan Yudie actually jumped up again. And Xiao Fei was helpless, so he had to walk up slowly.

Seeing the little monk go up, people were very looking forward to it and wanted to see how the little monk solved it.

"Little monk, you listen to me." Lan Yudie said to Xiao Fei very proudly, "Let me ask you the first question first, in this world, there are chickens or eggs first?" ”

"The eggs came first." Xiao Fei replied.

"You said there were eggs first?" Blue Rain Butterfly said strangely, "Where did that egg come from, did it grow out of the soil?" ”

"The Vedas say: Brahma is also the heaven of bookmaking, the Brahma, and the pure heaven. Brahma is born into a golden egg, and the golden egg becomes the parts. The golden egg is chaos, turning into all things. Everything has a way of doing things, and it should be viewed as such! Xiao Fei said calmly.

"You actually know the Vedas?" Several monks of the White Horse Temple were shocked. It is rumored that Tang Seng went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures and retrieved more than 1,000 volumes of Mahayana Buddhism, and the Vedas Sutra is one of them. However, because of its age, it has long been lost, where did this little monk read the Vedas?

Xiao Fei is the apprentice of Sun Wukong, and the Buddhist scriptures he learned are of course the most authentic, in addition to the Vedas, there are other Buddhist scriptures, all of which belong to Mahayana Buddhism.

This question, so easy to answer? Blue Rain Butterfly was surprised. And Xiao Fei used Buddhism to answer, and she didn't know how to refute it. Moreover, the theory of chaos is also very reasonable, before Pangu opened the world, the universe was a mess of chaos, which was equivalent to an egg.

"Alright, I'll ask you a second question." Lan Yudie said: "If your wife and your mother fall into the water at the same time, neither of them can swim, and you can only save one of them, which one do you choose to save?" This time, you can't prevaricate me with the reason that a monk can't marry a wife. ”

"I won't prevaricate you." Xiao Fei smiled slightly and said, "In the past, before a Buddha became a Buddha, he encountered an eagle chasing a sparrow at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. The sparrow hid in the arms of the Buddha Lord and asked the Buddha Lord to save it. At this time, the eagle flew over and said to the Buddha, 'If you save it, I will starve to death, but if you don't save it, it will die.' No matter which choice you make, there is a life that will die'. ”

Xiao Fei said: "The question you asked about saving your mother or your wife is the same problem that the Buddha encountered at that time. In front of the Buddha, all beings are equal, and the Buddha loves all beings as much as his wife and mother. ”

"Then how did the Buddha choose at that time?" Lan Yudie asked. At the same time, everyone was also attracted by the little monk's answer. They had heard the puzzle before, but none of them could solve it.

Unexpectedly, this little monk used Buddhism to find the source. Once the source is found, there is a satisfactory answer.

The Buddha pondered for a moment, then took out a knife, cut off a piece of flesh from his heart, and placed it on the scales. He was to cut off meat from himself that weighed as much as a sparrow and fed it to the eagle. Xiao Fei said, "But what the Buddha didn't expect was that this seemingly small sparrow was very heavy, and no matter how much meat he put on it, it couldn't reach the weight of the sparrow." In the end, all the flesh in the heart of the Buddha was cut, and the balance was finally balanced. At this moment, fairy music resounded in the sky, and the Buddha Lord finally attained enlightenment. ”

"The Buddha saved two lives with his own life?" Hearing Xiao Fei's story, Lan Yudie was moved, but still said: "But what does this story of yours have to do with my problem?" ”

"It has a lot to do with it." Xiao Fei replied: "In the world, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is often like that between an eagle and a sparrow, as if they are always natural enemies. And the man who is the son and the husband is like the Buddha, because these two are his beloved. ”

"A man can't save one and sacrifice the other, so he has to sacrifice himself to be perfect." Xiao Fei said: "The best answer to this question is that he will save one of them first, and then exchange his life for the survival of the other." ”

In the end, Xiao Fei said: "If the woman who asked this question really loves this man, I believe she will not want to see such a thing happen." After this, I believe she will not ask similar questions. ”

"And the weight of the sparrow needs all the flesh of the Buddha's heart and mouth to balance it. It also shows the terrible jealousy of women. The root of all the sins that ask this question is because of the jealousy of women. ”

Xiao Fei's answer is very simple: "I can only save one, but I will accompany the other one to die, are you willing to watch me die?" You ask this question because of your jealousy, and you want to kill me because of your jealousy? ”

"Bang Bang!" Hearing the little monk's answer, the crowd suddenly burst into thunderous applause.

This little monk, the Dharma is so profound! People thought.
