"So Buddhism is a very terrifying force. Once they are allowed to stand firm, they will instantly develop and grow in a very short period of time." The old soul is extremely jealous of Buddhism.
Ye Chen agreed and said: "It is true. If the small Leiyin Temple is used as the center to expand outward, then the Northern Territory will come in the near future, and half of it will definitely become a pure land of Buddhism, fighting against Taoism."
"That's why the Southern Territory is going to be a monolithic one." Old Soul said: "If Buddhism is allowed to enter the Southern Territory, then the influence of Buddhism will soon shake the foundation of Daomen in the Southern Territory. "
"I think Buddhism shouldn’t do everything right! Among the four realms of the human world, the Western Region is the Holy Land of Buddhism, and the Southern Region is the Holy Land of Daomen. Only the northern and eastern areas are relatively weak. Buddhism is easy to gain a firm foothold. Certainly it will not completely turn these two realms into the pure land of Buddhism, otherwise, Daoism will definitely break out at that time, and a war between Buddhism and Daoism will definitely be inevitable."
After thinking about it, Ye Chen began to analyze it.
The old soul nodded in agreement, and said: "This is indeed possible. Buddhism will occupy half of the Eastern Region and Northern Region at most."
Hum!
As he was speaking, he heard a bell from the Xiaoleiyin Temple, and then a young monk appeared at the foot of the mountain and saluted everyone, saying: "My benefactors, the Dharma Conference is about to begin, please go up the mountain."
After the young monk finished speaking, he walked up the mountain with light steps, and the monks waiting at the foot of the mountain followed quickly up the mountain.
"I want to see what this Dharma conference is talking about, to see how powerful these bald donkeys are, and how can they still spit out lotus flowers?"
"Knowing ourselves and knowing the enemy is the only way to survive all battles. We don't know much about Buddhism. It's good to come over and listen. At least people who meet Buddhism in the future will know how to deal with it."
"I heard that the most powerful thing about these bald donkeys is to unknowingly transform people into crossroads. Everyone should be careful not to speak."
Some monks who went up the mountain to watch the excitement went up the mountain and talked with each other.
Ye Chen couldn't help but smile indifferently when he heard these words, and he didn't mean to belittle them. He just felt that if Buddhism wanted to transform them, with their strength, even if they were careful, it wouldn't have any effect.
"Brother Ye Chen!"
Ye Chen had just walked a few steps when he heard someone calling him from behind. He looked back and found that it was quicksand as he had guessed.
Liusha walked forward with a smile and said, "Let's go up together."
Ye Chen nodded and smiled: "Brother Liusha is planning to fight the monks of Xiaoleiyin Temple today?"
"Fighting can't be said, it's just to say what you think, they agree and agree, what else can I do if I don't agree? Persuade them to follow me, drink and eat meat?" Liusha smiled knowingly.
"No matter what, I support you." Ye Chen smiled, with a feeling that watching the excitement is not too much of a problem.
But Quicksand said seriously: "If Ye Chen brothers support me, then I will be full of confidence."
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. The two of them talked and laughed and climbed the steps, all the way to Xiaoleiyin Temple.
In front of the main hall of the Xiaoleiyin Temple, there is a huge square with a pulpit. It is obvious that this time the Dharma Conference was held on this square.
The monks who came to the Xiaoleiyin Temple to participate in the Dharma Assembly one after another came to the square, and then gathered in groups of three to five and began to discuss the Dharma Assembly.
At this time, the Dharma Conference had not yet begun. Around the square, there were many monks standing with their hands folded. They lowered their heads and ignored the monks present.
More and more monks came to the square, the square was full of voices, all kinds of discussions filled with it, it seemed that everyone was noisy.
Buddhism clean land is generally a relatively quiet place. In addition to the sound of chanting, there are rarely loud voices. At this time, the square is no longer a clean land, but a vegetable market.
Ye Chen and Quicksand came to the square. It was not the first time that Ye Chen had come to Xiaoleiyin Temple. He looked around and there was no change in the layout, but the entire Xiaoleiyin Temple's Buddhism was even more profound.
Quicksand looked at the magnificent main hall, feeling a little surging, and muttered, "This is a good place for cultivation."
Ye Chen said, "Then why don't you come to the temple to practice?"
Quicksand shook his head and said: "I am a guest from the red dust, not a man in the temple, so even if it is the pure land of Buddha's grace, it is not my destination. My destination is the whole world.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Yeah, if you want to see through Hongchen, you still have to see Hongchen. How can you know what Hongchen is like without looking at it? How can it be called seeing through Hongchen
When Liu Sha heard Ye Chen's words, his eyes lit up, and he immediately admired: "Brother Ye's words are really reasonable!"
Ye Chen didn't expect that this sentence would make Quicksand so excited, and smiled: "Just talk about it casually."
"How much of my comprehension is due to the sudden emergence of inspiration, and the most real and incisive thing is the realization in that instant." Liu Sha said more and more excited.
When Ye Chen wanted to say something modestly, he heard a voice from above the pulpit: "Donors, the Dharma Conference will begin immediately. Please sit down and wait for a while, Buddhism, please Don't make noise."
The voice of these words sounded very soft, but it covered up all the voices. The square suddenly became quiet, and everyone turned their eyes to the pulpit.
There is a middle-aged monk on the forum. The monk puts his hands together with a smile, giving people a very close feeling.
The monks present were also very obedient and sat down. After all, this is the chassis of others. If you anger the other party, then no one can say anything.
After everyone sat down, they closed their eyes and calmed down, and stopped talking.
Ye Chen and Quicksand sat next to each other. Quicksand kept looking at the main hall door. Looking inward from the main hall door, he could see the huge Buddha statue in the main hall.
What is enshrined in the main hall is not Amitabha, but Shakyamuni Buddha.
When the quicksand was stunned to see the gods, a young monk wearing a purple robes and holding a golden Zen stick walked out of the main hall. Many monks followed behind the young monk.
The monk in the purple robe is naturally Mahagaye, the abbot of Xiaoleiyin Temple.
When Ye Chen saw Mahaka Ye come out, his gaze fell on him, and everyone's eyes were also like this, because the breath of Dharma exuding from Mahaka Ye was really eye-catching.
Mahakaya went to the pulpit. He did not sit down, but stood aside, then put one hand on his chest and said: "Welcome to all the donors, my little Leiyin Temple is brilliant."
Maha Gaya was polite first, and then said: "The poor monk Xiaoleiyin Temple presides over Maha Gaya, and the Shakyamuni Buddha sat down with his disciples. This Dharma conference is also hosted by a poor monk."
"The purpose of holding this Dharma Conference is twofold. One is to spread my Buddhism, hoping to save all living beings, save people and let all living beings get out of the sea of suffering. The second is to invite many Taoist friends to come, I also want to discuss Buddhism and Taoism together so that the relationship between Buddhism and Taoism will be closer and tolerant of each other."
Hearing Mahakaya's words, the monks sitting in the square were immediately talking, with disdain and sneer. In short, no one would believe Mahakaya's words.
Mahagaye didn’t seem to care either. Everything was expected. He calmly said, “The speaker at this Dharma Conference is the Cihang Bodhisattva under the seat of the Buddha of the Western Regions. Now, I invite the Cihang Bodhisattva to be yours. Teach the Fa."
Mahakaya finished speaking, stepped back a few steps, and then gave a few steps aside.
Ye Chen can see from the actions of Maha Gaya that the Cihang Bodhisattva who is about to appear is definitely not an ordinary person in the Western Regions Buddhism. Its status is below the Buddha, but it is definitely above the Maha Gaya.
Afterwards, everyone saw three people walking out of the main hall. Among them was a beautiful woman walking right in front. The woman did not shave her hair, was not a nun, and did not have any Buddhist ornaments on her body. Holding the bottle of willow branches, pinch the orchid with his right hand.
Behind the delicate woman were two little boys. These two boys were handsome in appearance, about twelve or thirteen years old, and they were extremely agile.
When the monks on the scene saw these three people appear, there was another commotion. What's the situation
The delicate and beautiful woman came from the main hall, with green lotus blooming at every step, as if she did not attract dust.
After the delicate woman stepped onto the pulpit, a lotus platform automatically appeared at her feet. She sat on the lotus platform and glanced at the crowd. Her eyes were as clear as promised, solemn and extremely sacred.
Everyone was shocked by the woman's appearance and demeanor. There is such a woman in the Buddhist school
"I am Cihang Bodhisattva, the main speaker of this Dharma Conference." The delicate and beautiful woman spoke, her voice soft and fascinating.
Ye Chen was also a little dazed. This was a little different from the Buddhism he imagined. Aren’t the female disciples in Buddhism all nuns? Why is this Cihang Bodhisattva so different
"Women?" The quicksand on the side was also taken aback.
Ye Chen thinks that it should not be. This Cihang Bodhisattva has a higher status than Mahgaya, how could he be a practitioner
Cihang Bodhisattva didn't seem to see the doubts and surprises in the eyes of the people. She said to herself: "All donors, today I open a forum to teach the Dharma, just to let you know what the real Buddhism and Dharma are."
"In your hearts, there are too many prejudices against Buddhism, thinking that Buddhism is a means of harming people, that is, turning people into puppets. In fact, this is a big mistake." Cihang Bodhisattva's words are still soft, like Let's talk about it like a story.
