Chapter 282 Borrowing Things From Heaven to Save People
Yan Qianlie's expression twitched when he heard this, and he didn't know how to describe this feeling.
From a philosophical and Buddhist perspective, the old monk’s words are certainly very meaningful.
But in reality, the Bodhi tree in your temple is a treasure from heaven. If you dig it up and give it to me, and plant another tree, is it also a treasure?
Then the treasure can be wholesaled.
He didn't say anything and watched the monk beside Dabei go out, waiting to see if he really dug the tree. If he didn't dig, how could the old monk be round? If he really dug, how could there be so many senior monks surrounding the hall? No comments?
Have you all attained the Tao and become a Buddha?
If it’s so cute, then I don’t want your wonderful Bodhi tree. Just give me the Earth Lotus Terrace. The quality is much lower.
As if Dabei knew what Yan Qianlie was thinking, he casually lit a stick of sandalwood and whispered the Buddha's name: "Amitabha. Donor, please wait. They are digging trees to take time."
Yan Qianlie: "..."
He couldn't hold it back anymore and asked, "You really just gave it to me for free? You don't ask for anything else?"
Dabei smiled and said: "The donor's heart towards the Buddha is the best exchange. If the donor one day becomes a Buddha, why should our temple cherish a mere tree?"
Yan Qianlie felt that it was too fake. Could there be some conspiracy behind this thief? Or maybe he simply saw that God was on his side and deliberately sold it well?
He asked deliberately: "You want to ferry me?"
"The donor has Buddha nature, and Buddha's crossing is predestined. Neither Lao Monkey nor Lao Monkey can cross the ferry." Dabei saluted with one palm, praying beads in the other hand, and whispered: "Idleness is also idle. Can the donor listen to a passage of Lao Monk's sutra?"
Yan Qianlie said: "Don't do this. Isn't it the greatest merit that you can bring people to bliss?"
"Amitabha." Great Compassion nodded and said, "It is naturally a great merit to help people become Buddhas. Whether it is the word 'most' or not is a matter of opinion."
"Wouldn't that person reach bliss early when he dies? Wouldn't it be immeasurable for me to kill people and help others and reach bliss early? Is this why you said that I have Buddha nature? Hahahaha...Buddha and demon are one, Buddha and demon are one, I am You know it!"
Chu Ge: "..."
Qiu Wuji: "..."
Even we want to beat you. It's really hard to be an accomplice with this guy. By the way, Qianqian did a pretty good job as a leverage player. Hearing this makes people want to roll up their sleeves and punch him. I guess he can become successful in forums in the future.
The old monks around him opened their eyes, each with an angry look on his face.
Sure enough, this big devil is here to cause trouble. Does he have the Buddha nature of a brat?
But seeing that Dabei's expression remained unchanged, he still responded calmly: "Without liberation, you will only fall into the sea of suffering after death. How can you talk about ultimate happiness?"
Yan Qianlie touched his chin: "I understand. A great monk like the master has a clear mind and nature, is free and liberated, and will return to bliss after death. If I kill you, will I have accomplished a great merit?"
Dabei: "?"
The old monks next to them finally couldn't help it anymore: "Abbott, what are you doing with such an incorrigible demon Luo Su? It's better to ask directly if he stole the Sutra of Great Joy and Bliss!"
Chu Ge: "..."
Qiu Wuji: "..."
Yan Qianlie laughed loudly: "It turned out that I was suspected of being a thief, and he was sneaking around."
Dabei waved his hand: "I have never doubted your Excellency. After all, it is known to the whole world that you are not a womanizer. You must look down on that kind of dual cultivation technique. What's more, there are many tonic techniques in the magic way. It is said that Yan The donor also practiced it in his early years, and even if he wants to pick it up again, he still doesn’t like this slow method of harmony and symbiosis.”
Yan Qianlie smiled and said: "You monks have such a thing in your temple, and you have the nerve to shout. If I go out and preach, you will lose your face."
Dabei shook his head: "Huanxi Zen is also a branch of Buddhism. It was annihilated many years ago, merged into the demonic way, and adapted from other methods. Although this temple is opposed to this way, as the ancestral home of Buddhism and Taoism, it still needs to collect all kinds of classics, including the so-called It’s a heresy. Even if outsiders know about it, there’s no shame in it.”
Yan Qianlie was stunned and did not attack this time.
I kept trying to bully others, but they didn't respond. I felt like I was using my energy in vain and felt weak all over.
However, Dabei responded to the previous topic: "If the donor had killed me, I might have been able to reach the ultimate bliss, but that was not the donor's merit, but my own. On the contrary, the donor would be more entangled in cause and effect, and would not be able to escape."
Yan Qianlie sneered: "I have killed many people, who are you? Why can't you be freed?"
Dabei smiled slightly: "Because I was giving you something just now, and I was already outside the door."
Yan Qianlie turned around and saw two monks carrying a jade tree to the door. They both saluted: "Abbott, the tree has arrived."
Dabei nodded: "Very good, go and rest."
The monk bowed and left.
Yan Qianlie stared at the jade tree at the door in stunned silence, feeling the mysterious meaning of heaven and the unparalleled aura of power in it. There was no need to cheat, it couldn't be hidden from anyone. This is definitely the Bodhi Tree, the most precious treasure of Hongfa Temple. It is said to be planted from the branches of the tree of heaven. Thousands of Buddhist teachings come from it. It is the foundation of Hongfa Temple.
Just dig it out and place it in front of the temple. The soil on the roots of the tree is still fresh.
Yan Qianlie half-opened his mouth and glanced at the old monks in the temple. This time he finally saw many people looking unhappy, but they just suppressed them with force.
Is this great compassion to suppress the dissatisfaction in the temple and give the foundation of the temple to a big devil who visits the mountain gate at night?
Yan Qianlie, who wanted to cause trouble, was completely confused and didn't know what to say.
Dabei slowly said: "If the benefactor came to my door and killed me to seize the tree, it might seem very calm to the benefactor, and it would even become a boast of his military achievements. But I gave it to you myself, and the benefactor will still kill me. Looking back ten thousand years from now , is there no hesitation in my heart? This is the inner demon, which has been haunted for thousands of years, with no way to escape, and will fall into the sea of suffering forever."
Yan Qianlie's heart skipped a beat.
Doesn't this mean that I want to resurrect Master?
Chu Geqiu's boundless gaze also became a little sharp.
This old monk...has something.
Yan Qianlie took a deep breath and said indifferently: "I don't know if you are crazy and want to go astray... You will send trees to the temple today and to the temple tomorrow. Looking back, the devil has arrived again. The old monk is really Don’t you understand people’s hearts?”
Dabei smiled: "The donor knows this is different."
Yan Qianlie sneered: "Then I'll start to push further and see if it's the same."
Dabei said: "What else does the donor want?"
"Earth Fire Lotus Platform."
Dabei nodded: "The donor also knows that it is impossible for me to send a tree today and deliver it to the temple tomorrow, so the donor can give me something in exchange for the fire lotus platform."
Yan Qianlie secretly thought that if you had said this earlier, I would have thought it was normal. That was all nonsense before, so he asked, "What do you want?"
Dabei smiled slightly: "Just exchange it for the wonderful Bodhi tree you just obtained."
Yan Qianlie: "???"
Dabei looked around and smiled warmly: "Look, the faces of all the monks are much better. All the monks are happy. The donor is satisfied with what he asked for. Isn't it true that everyone is happy?"
Yan Qianlie looked blankly at the old monks with strange expressions around him. He knew that his expressions were even stranger than theirs.
Everyone was confused by this old monk.
"Then...what do you want?" Yan Qianlie never believed that such a thing could really happen. He did not dare to collect the tree or the lotus platform. Instead, he became even more wary: "Speak clearly and stop trying to meditate with me."
"The lotus platform is made of meat, and the donor is an eagle. If the Buddha did it, I can do it too." Dabei said calmly: "Does the donor know what the difference is between this and bribing the devil with things as the donor just said?"
Yan Qianlie said solemnly: "I don't know, I would like to hear the details."
"The donor wants the lotus platform to save people, not to kill people." Dabei pinched the beads and whispered the Buddha's name: "Buddha feeds eagles for the lives of living beings, and so does I. Even if I have this thought, I may be saving people. Thousands of them. This is the crossing."
Yan Qianlie's hair stood on end: "Why do you know that I am here to save people?"
Dabei's eyes finally fell on Chu Geqiu Wuji, and he smiled slightly: "I have already said the first sentence... Yan Donor came to the door, and it was like seeing Prajna. God has the virtue of good life, and I am very happy. No matter the tree in the heaven , or the lotus of earth and fire, it is a natural thing, it is a thing of heaven, not a thing of Lao Na. I am ashamed and ashamed to borrow a thing of heaven to save people."
