Chapter 530: Buddhist and Taoist Initiates
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but Si Ming's writing level has made great progress. Lianhua said,
A few years ago, Si Ming felt that the fortune book he wrote was becoming less and less innovative, so he studied with Wenquxing for some years, and he still made a lot of progress, and he learned a lot of words with Wenquxing. Cangwu said,
"After all, the document announcing the Six Realms is a formal document, so it is okay to write it that way. That Wenqu Xing has always been literary and old-fashioned, if Si Ming learned from him to write even the fortune book like this, it would really be no fun at all. Lianhua said that when she didn't know what love was, she read a lot of fortune books written by Si Ming to relieve her boredom.
"When he came back from Wenqu Xing, I went to the south of Yuanchi to adjust the silence of Miaoyi, and I don't know how his current fortune book is written? Cangwu said,
"Let's talk about it later, now that the kids are around, there is no time to check his homework. We've been out for almost two hours, and it's time for the kids to wake up and go back. Lianhua said,
"Yes. "Heavenly Pleiades Mountain. Cangwu and Lianhua returned to the bedroom, seeing that Qing'er was still asleep, Luo'er had woken up, sat quietly, looked at the Buddhist scriptures that Cangwu put on the side of the bed, gently turned the pages, and did not make a sound, for fear of waking up Qing'er's good dreams.
Cangwu waved his sleeves to close the enchantment, and when Luo'er saw that the enchantment disappeared, he put the scripture back to its original place, got out of bed gently, and threw himself into Cangwu's arms.
Cangwu and Lianhua exchanged glances, and Cangwu left the bedroom with Luo'er in her arms. Lianhua was also very tired, took off her shoes and gently lay down beside Qing'er, hugged her baby daughter into her arms, and fell asleep together.
Cangwu carried Luo'er outside, and the father and son sat on the cloud couch.
"Luo'er, do you know what book you just read?" Cang Wu asked,
"I don't know, Luo'er has never read a book like that, but I feel that there is a deep meaning between the lines. Luo Er said, just now he woke up, saw that his father and mother were not around, the bedroom was protected by the enchantment, he couldn't leave the bedroom, so he sat next to Qing'er and guarded his sister, and accidentally saw the book next to the bed, which was a book that his father often read, and he was idle around him, so he took it to see what kind of book it was, this book was not the same as the book he saw in Yuanxu, whether it was words or sentences, he had never seen it, but it seemed that the truth told in some aspects was the same.
"The book just now is called the Dafang Guangfo Huayan Sutra, which is an important classic of Mahayana Buddhism, the founding sutra of the Huayan sect. Cangwu said,
"Father, what is Buddhism?" asked Luo'er.
"Heaven and earth are divided into six realms, gods, demons, fairies, demons, and ghosts. The place where the gods and the fairy world live becomes the heavenly realm, but the heavenly realm is vast, and the dwelling is not only the immortals, in the west of the heavenly realm, the pure land, called the West Heavenly Brahma Realm, also known as the West Heaven Elysium, the god who lives is the Buddha, and the Dharma practiced by the Buddhists is Buddhism. Although Buddhism and Taoism practice differently, they have the same goal, and all they seek is to be quiet and inactive, in order to protect the safety of the common people in the world, so the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism are equally divided in the Six Realms. Cangwu explained.
"But father, why hasn't Luo'er seen such a book as a Buddhist scripture in Yuanxu? My mother said that Yuanxu has the richest collection of books in the Six Realms, but why is there no book about Buddhism?"
"Buddhism and Taoism are two sects, and the Yuanxu collection is only a collection of Taoist books, and the collection of books of the Buddhists is in the Da Lei Yin Temple in the West Heaven Brahma Realm. Although the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism pursue the same philosophy, they have never been compatible with each other in their practice. Taoism is the legislative sect of the two worlds of immortals, and Buddhism is the legislative sect of the Venerable Venerable of the Western Heavenly Brahma Realm, the two cannot be connected, and the people who cultivate immortals can only rest the law of their own sect, and they cannot practice other sects at the same time, which is the primary method of cultivating immortals. However, Father Jun is the only deity of the Six Realms who is a fellow practitioner of Buddhism. Cangwu said,
"But Father, you just said that the two are not interconnected, and people who cultivate immortals cannot practice Buddhism at the same time, so why can Father be a fellow practitioner of Buddhism?"
