After Nangong Yan heard the reply, she snorted, her face was full of unhappiness, and her thoughts of debating the scriptures faded in her heart: "What a big shelf, you dare to let the prince and the princess go to his backyard!"

When the little Taoist priest saw it, he hurriedly said: "It's not the same thing, no one bothers in the back, and it looks clean." ”

The little Taoist priest could speak, and when Shen'er heard it, he immediately said: "Miss, the backyard is good, there are no idle people." ”

Shen'er is well-intentioned, since Nangong Yan offended the master, she thought of Mo Xian, and felt that only Mo Xian might be able to change Miss, she deliberately said good things.

The crown princess smiled: "Since we are here, let's go and have a look." ”

The prince didn't speak, he was also interested in this person who made Nangong Yan suffer, and the three of them came to the backyard with some guards, Mo Xian turned his back to the door, looking at the ancient locust tree.

Hearing someone coming in, Mo Xian turned his head and saluted and said, "Your Excellency has arrived, and outsiders are polite." ”

He didn't see the prince as usual, a secular person, in this situation, he should bow down, Mo Xian is just a trick, only kneel to the parents and teachers of heaven and earth, not to worship the king of the world, this is the demeanor that a cultivator should have.

Nangong Yan was obviously displeased, but Mo Xian would not look at her face, but the prince remained silent, looked at the ancient locust tree, and said, "This is the famous ancient locust tree?"

"Yes, Guhuai Guan got its name because of this, life is in the world, but Huangliang is a dream, please take a seat. Mo Xian made an invitation, everyone sat down, Wei Qing and Zi Chang went out for business, Zi Yuan and Xie Cao'er were present, and they also sat down, the Taoist priests poured tea, and the rest of the people stood behind the prince and others, Mo Xian could see that these people were armed with martial arts, and it was no wonder that the prince's safety came first.

Mo Xian took a sip of tea: "I don't know the prince, and Miss Nangong is here, what do you have to say?"

"I came to hear Miss Nangong say that you want to debate with her, so I am specially invited to testify. The prince said with a smile.

"Is it an argument or a Buddhist scripture?"

"Of course it's a Buddhist scripture, last time I fooled you and changed the subject, but this time it's not so easy. Nangong Yan said.

Mo Xian shook his head: "Miss Nangong, I'm not good at this, the Buddha's scriptures, small words, even if he is a high monk, I don't dare to say that he can be proficient in Buddhist scriptures, I am a person who practices morality, how dare I say that I debate Buddhist scriptures with Miss!"

"Mo Xian, don't you dare to say it, why do you want to talk to the little woman!" Nangong Yan was a little annoyed, no wonder, Mo Xian had something to say, which contained sarcasm.

The crown prince and the crown princess looked at the two of them with interest, but Ziyuan and Xie Cao'er were smiling, only Nangong Yan was a little annoyed and angry.

"The debate has to have a main purpose, whether it is on the Buddhist scriptures, or something else, I hope Miss will give advice. Mo Xian saw that it was almost over, he argued with Nangong Yan, the purpose was not on Nangong Yan, but the drunkard's intention was not to drink, if it wasn't for the prince to come, he would be ready to give Nangong Yan a closed door.

"As far as you said last time, the Buddhist scriptures are lying!" Nangong Yan angrily threw out the question.

"Miss Nangong, in the eyes of unbelievers, the Buddhist scriptures are lying, because people either see is believing, or listen to the description of others, the person described by others must be trustworthy people, or it is recorded in the history books, but there are inevitably lies, there are many absurd and unscriptural theories in the Buddhist scriptures, for the unbeliever, they are lying, and the believer is another matter, I did not say, the Buddhist scriptures are lying, the Buddha sees through everything, the world or the world, for him, what he sees in his eyes, what he hears in his ears, is indeed like the Pure Land of the West, because the Buddha has no malice, everything for us, negative things, do not exist in the Buddha。 Mo Xian said.

Indeed, for the description in the Buddhist scriptures, the world is divided into two kinds: unbelief and belief, for the unbeliever, everything goes without saying, and the unbelief is naturally incomprehensible, this is a commonly used sentence in the cultivation world, and for the believer, it can be divided into two kinds, one is faith, since the Buddha has great powers, of course everything is true, this is a kind of superstition, but superstition is not necessarily bad, and the other is the belief after enlightenment, as the Buddhist scriptures say: "If you come to be the true speaker, the truth speaker, such as the speaker, the one who does not speak, the one who does not speak!"

There's a story that illustrates the problem.

A general asked the Zen master, what is heaven and what is hell?

The Zen master said, "Get out of the way!" The general was furious and was about to take the knife and do it! The Zen master said, "This is hell!"

When the general heard this, he immediately put down the butcher's knife and was deeply ashamed; the Zen master slowly said, "This is heaven!"

In the eyes of an enlightened person, there is no bodhi anywhere! If there is no evil thought in the heart, there will be no evil in the eyes, because the Buddha said that everything is created by the mind.

"You agree with my point of view, the truth in the Buddhist scriptures is universal. Nangong Yan said that although she was not sure, she felt that she had won, and Mo Xian found a reason to round out what he had said before.

Mo Xian smiled: "You still don't understand, okay, Diamond Sutra Cloud: The Buddha really has no way to say, if the Buddha has a saying, it is slanderous to the Buddha, the Buddha has no self, people, sentient beings, and longevity." ”

Mo Xian's meaning is very clear, Buddhism is only a road to self-detachment, there is no kind of truth is universal, Buddhism is a kind of internal seeking method, twelve causes, the cycle of life and death, from ignorance, action, knowledge, fame, six into, touch, receive, love, take, have, birth to old age and death, this is the flow of the door, ignorance and action are the cause of the past, the feeling of the present effect, the knowledge, the fame, the six into and the receiving are the present effect, love, taking, and having are the present cause, feeling the future effect, and life and old age and death are the future effect. The twelve links are mutually causal and mutually reinforcing, and are mutually reciprocating conditions for birth and death, which is the general causal cycle chain involving the past, present and future three lifetimes.

Note that all this is based on idealistic consciousness, and the reverse view and extinction of the door is to start with old age and death, and reverse the cause until the ignorance is extinguished, everything is not pretended, only to realize this, Buddhism is the method of personal liberation, although Mahayana Buddhism is said to be broad to sentient beings, but also to realize themselves.

There is nothing wrong with saying that Buddhism is the truth, but it is not possible to say that it is applicable everywhere, orange is born in Huainan is orange, born in Huaibei is orange, there is no truth in the world can be like this, to say that there is, probably only from the point of view of movement, the change of things is eternal.

"You paraphrase the words of the Diamond Sutra, doesn't it prove my point?" Nangong Yan said.

Mo Xian smiled dumbly: "The Buddhist scriptures you are talking about are not the Buddhist scriptures spoken by the Buddha, although the words are the same, but there is a difference of 108,000 miles inside." ”

"You talk nonsense, the Buddhist scriptures say precepts, you misinterpret the Buddhist scriptures, and you are not afraid of going to hell?"

"Going to hell is not necessarily a bad thing, the king of the earth said, I don't go to hell, who goes to hell, the hell that the Buddha talked about is not controlled by the Buddha, nor by the Bodhisattva Arhats, but by the self-ignorant mind, or greedy heart, or hatred, and creates evil deeds, and they feel evil and get evil retribution. In a word, hell is only in your heart, and the Pure Land is also in your heart. Mo Xian said.

Mo Xian's words are closer to Zen Buddhism, Zen Buddhism advocates not to stand the word, to the heart to transmit the heart, because it does not stand the word, so it is undefeated, in Zen Buddhism, there is even the so-called crazy Zen, Danxia naturally said: "Buddha a word, never like to hear...... There is no way to repair here, and there is no way to prove it. Drink and peck, each has its own share, no doubt. "And he used to take the wooden Buddha to bake the fire. They believe that the ordinary mind is the Buddha's mind, and everyone should be the protagonist of themselves, and be the only one who is not deceived by the outside world.

Obviously, Mo Xian's statement was not recognized by Nangong Yan, and her voice changed: "Buddha and Tao, the Tao is only cultivated into a heavenly being, and it is still in the six realms of reincarnation, you cultivate the Tao, pursue immortality, even if you have immortality, the blessings are exhausted, or you will be transferred to reincarnation." ”

"I'm a cultivator, a true Buddhist person, maybe not like you said, the Tao only talks about this life, not the next life, the cultivator, wandering in the world, long-term vision, since ancient times, Buddhism and Taoism slander each other, these things, not you can understand. Mo Xian said indifferently, a mortal woman, but in vain about the Buddha and the Tao, really does not know the height of the sky.

Needless to say, Mo Xian, Xie Cao'er and Ziyuan also frowned, since ancient times, the Buddha and the Tao have been in dispute, since hundreds of years ago, the Buddha and the Tao learn from each other, the relationship is no longer the grudge of the past, but the dispute between the Buddha and the Tao, has a long history, the Taoist said that the Buddhism is only sexual work, only the cultivation of the ancestors and not the cultivation of life, only the Yin spirit is strong, but the Buddha is said that the family is attached to me, I can't go, how has it become a road.

Buddha and Tao hundreds of years ago, there were people who advocated the unity of the three religions, although the roots are different, but they are absorbing some ideas of the other party, metaphysical Buddhism, and even Zen Buddhism and emptiness are the Tao of Taoism are proof.

In Buddhism, there is still a difference between the heavenly man and the Taoist immortals, the celestial man, one of the fruits of the six reincarnations, is born as a celestial person, but most of the Taoist immortals are cultivated by themselves.

"You can say that the Buddhist scriptures are lies, and I think the Taoist scriptures are also absurd, how can the immortals make a place smooth. Nangong Yan said again, "People are human beings, unless they are intentional, how can they unintentionally affect the surroundings?"

Mo Xian knew that she had said Zhuangzi, which was a fable in Zhuangzi, there were immortals on the mountain of the Cunn Shot, with extraordinary appearance, sucking wind and drinking dew, swimming outside the four seas, and its spirit was condensed, so that things were not flawed and ripe.

Mo Xian glanced at Nangong Yan and saw that the crown prince and the crown princess beside her were looking at her with a smile, and suddenly calmed down: "Zhuangzi Bendo fables, using fables to speak of reason, for ordinary people, it is not true, but for us cultivators, it is true. ”

Nangong Yan said that the scriptures were absurd, but Mo Xian said in a fable, this is a well-known thing in the world, the prince is a smart person, seeing Nangong Yan several reproaches, Mo Xian took it calmly, just this bearing, Nangong Yan has lost, but Nangong Yan is a friend of the crown princess, and the only daughter of the general Nangong He, and Nangong He is not to deal with it, otherwise, with Nangong He's support for the six princes, the prince will feel uncomfortable.
