Chapter 4118 Great Sun Venerable
"right!"
Li Yun was afraid that he would be entangled, so he explained directly: "At the beginning of the founding of Buddhism... I mean it is based on myths and legends, not real myths and history, old monk, do you understand?"
"That's natural." Venerable Da Ri looked at the statues, "I also know that the legends in ancient times are very different from what happened in the ancient times. The benefactor can say that I have been here for a long time to search for my Buddha. A little bit of trace, but always get some specious results."
"Most of the people here don't believe in Buddhism!"
Venerable Da Ri added another sentence.
Li Yun smiled and said: "This is natural. Buddhism has long been close to extinction in the Three Kingdoms, and it has been ruled by the state religion of the Three Kingdoms, which is the sect with the three main gods, Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu. A sect is . . . an unspeakable religion."
"Brahma..."
Venerable Da Ri pondered, "I have vaguely heard similar words, but I have not gone abroad. Where did I hear this? Is it the enlightenment given to me by my Buddha?"
"Hehe, let's not talk about it for now, let's go back to the topic just now."
Li Yun said: "The posture I drew just now is very similar to the Buddha holding a flower and smiling, and some Buddha seal postures in Buddhism. That's because, at the beginning of Buddhism's founding, the Brahma Sect in the Three Kingdoms already existed.
Inevitably, Buddhism has been greatly influenced, from meditation postures, to handprints, and some legends, all of which are closely related to Brahma. "
Wan Qingya was not very interested at first, but since Li Yun said it, she reluctantly listened to it and asked, "Then what is the relationship between this Brahma religion and Buddhism?"
"I don't know what the relationship is, but there must be a great connection!"
Li Yun pointed to Brahma with three faces and four hands, and said, "He is Brahma, and in the concept of Buddhism, there is also the existence of this god.
In Buddhism, Brahma is known as the Lord of the First Zen Heaven in the Form Realm. "
"puff!"
Wan Qingya couldn't help laughing out loud, "Sex Realm? What do you mean this Brahma is very feminine?"
Wan Nishang glared at her, and her elder sister Concubine Wan Qing was more direct, and directly stretched out her slender fingers to tap Wan Qingya's forehead forcefully.
"Amitabha."
The old monk explained: "Female benefactor, what the Buddha said about form is not form in the traditional sense, but what we see and hear. All external things are called form. Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, and clouds. Form is not different from emptiness, and emptiness is not different from form."
Ordinary people would be stunned when they heard this color, emptiness, yes, no, and the typical ones were Wan Nishang and Concubine Wan Qing.
They have learned to practice, but there is no such repeated repetition in the practice books.
But Wan Qingya blinked her eyes, "Then I close my eyes, let go of my consciousness, and don't think about anything. Is it lust or emptiness?"
The old monk replied firmly: "It is empty."
"Then when I open my eyes and see things reflected into my heart and disturb my heart, is it form or emptiness?"
"It's... color."
"Then when I open my eyes and close them again, my heart is sometimes occupied by form, and sometimes my mind is empty. Is that what you said, form is emptiness, and emptiness is form? Repeatedly?"
"This..." The old monk couldn't answer.
Wan Qingya said again: "Form is not different from emptiness, and emptiness is not different from form. Does it mean that when I close my eyes and my mind is empty, I vaguely visualize some obsessions, but if I can't let go, the form will disappear. Doesn't that mean it's empty?"
