Chapter 474
474 Mahayana Buddhism (4)
“Are you going to admit defeat …” Someone said worriedly.
The Buddhist cultivators frowned slightly, not knowing why Xu Qi ‘an was laughing so loudly.
Under the pergola, the officials, the women, and the Imperial Army all revealed expressions of shock.
Those who were familiar with Xu Qi ‘an were worried that he had been triggered by something, which was why he was acting so abnormally.
Emperor Yuan jing stood beside the supervisor and raised his head slightly. He looked at Xu Qi ‘an’s laughing posture in the painting and frowned. He turned to look at the supervisor and found that he was not drinking anymore. He was looking at Xu Qi’ an with a serious face.
Wei Yuan tapped his fingers unconsciously and looked at the Buddha Mountain without saying a word.
………..
“Almsgiver, what are you laughing at?”
Under the Bodhi tree, the old monk asked everyone’s question.
Xu Qi ‘an clutched her stomach and stopped laughing with difficulty. She said arrogantly,”I’m laughing at the narrow-minded and hypocritical Buddhas.”
Arrogant!
The old monk was furious, and the Bodhi tree swayed even though there was no wind.
Outside the arena, Arhat du ‘e, who had been emotionless all this while, finally had a dark expression on his face.
If du ‘e was like this, then the monks of the Buddhist sect were even more so.
However, Xu Qi ‘an’s words stopped the old monk’s anger under the Bodhi tree.
“Master, I thought you didn’t know about the Supreme realm of Buddhism? then, let me tell you!” His voice was sonorous and powerful.
The old monk’s eyes shot out golden light.
“I thought that the Dharma was profound and that all Arhats and bodhisattvas were compassionate people. Now I know that they are just selfish people. So Buddhism cultivates Hinayana Buddhism.” Xu Qi ‘an shouted.
Hinayana Buddhist technique?
It was a strange word that he had never heard of before. This made the monks outside angry and curious. Since there was Hinayana Buddhism, was there also Mahayana Buddhism?
Hmph, what Hinayana Dharma? he’s clearly talking nonsense to belittle Buddhism.
“What does a martial artist know about Buddhism? he even made his own decision to classify it into the Mahayana realm and the Hinayana realm? Martial granduncle, this person bullied the Buddhist sect. We can’t let him off easily.”
Of course, they would not admit it. The monks scolded Xu Qi ‘an.
…………
“Master, where did this eminent monk come from?”
“The Western regions,”
“Why do Buddhist monks cultivate?”
“Attain the fruit plane, and transcend the sea of suffering.”
“This is Hinayana Buddhism. Cultivation is for oneself, and it is the same for the fruits. It benefits oneself and not others.” Xu Qi ‘an said.
The old monk was stunned. This time, he pondered for a long time and did not get angry. He asked, “”Almsgiver, you said that this is the Hinayana Dharma. Then, what is the Mahayana Dharma?”
“You’re not an eminent monk from the Western regions, you’re an eminent monk from the nine prefectures, an eminent monk from the world. A monk’s cultivation should not be to free himself from the sea of suffering, but to help the people of the world to free themselves from it.
“Why did the Confucians want to destroy Buddhism 400 years ago? It’s not the Buddha that was destroyed, but the Buddhism sect and the Hinayana Buddhism.”
“Hinayana Buddhism is limited to one sect. Only Mahayana Buddhism can save all living beings. Then, what is Mahayana Buddhism?”
The old monk’s breathing became rapid. His eyes were no longer emotionless and calm. There was an obvious fluctuation in his voice.
“What is the Mahayana Dharma?”
Outside the arena, all the Buddhist monks stared at Xu Qi ‘an, and their breathing became rapid.
“Why is there only one Buddha?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
All the monks, including the old monk, held their breaths.
Arhat du ‘e stood up as if he knew what he was going to say.
Xu Qi ‘an took a deep breath and said slowly, “”All living beings in the world are Buddhas, and there are countless Buddhas in the three worlds and ten directions. This is Mahayana Buddhism. Why is there only one Buddha in the world?”
It was like a bolt from the blue!
All living beings are Buddhas … The old monk was dumbstruck and petrified.
“All living beings in the world are Buddhas, all living beings in the world are Buddhas … Mahayana Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism … If it’s Mahayana Buddhism and all living beings are Buddhas, can the Confucians still destroy Buddhism?” Monk Jing Chen mumbled to himself as if he had encountered a life of denial. His Buddhist heart was greatly impacted.
“I’m cultivating the Hinayana Buddhism, I’m cultivating the Hinayana Buddhism, ha, hahaha … It turns out that all living beings can become Buddhas. Yes, all living beings are Buddhas. This is Mahayana Buddhism …”
Suddenly, a monk went mad. He rushed towards the crowd like a madman, his expression deranged.
His Buddhist heart was shattered.
………..
Firstly: : would like to thank the leader of the: reminiscence of the broken sword: for the reward.
Two, it took a long time to find this chapter’s information, so it was very difficult to write it. There are many differences between the Mahayana Dharma and the Hinayana Dharma. I’m just going to briefly talk about some of the core differences.
In order to be able to tell the story slowly, I wrote and deleted this part of the manuscript, deleted and wrote again and again, looked at the information repeatedly, and thought about it … He was indeed exhausted.
There’s still one chapter left, let’s continue.
[ I only have one request today. Can you put your heart on Xu Qi ‘an’s chest? he shouldn’t be riding on a Mount. ]
