Chapter 1288: He Transforms Into the Great Freedom Heaven Demon King Poxun

"What do good consequences and bad consequences, blessings and evil consequences have to do with reincarnated people?"

Chang Wei's voice sounded again, with a bit of questioning and a bit of compassion.

"Why should people who have forgotten the past life suffer hardships at birth, have their families broken up, and be born with disabilities? How can they be called the evil retribution of the past life?"

Chang Wei's words are full of accusations of unfair fate.

His words were like a raging wave, hitting Ji Dian's inner defense again and again.

"Do you know how many people in this world have endured the sins of their previous lives in ignorance? Why are they struggling in suffering when they are supposed to be innocent children? And some children of those powerful families have been born with Despite all the glory and wealth, we often don’t know how to cherish it and do evil things. Is this the so-called blessing?”

Chang Wei's words are like sharp swords, pointing directly at the absurdity of reincarnation and cause and effect.

Chang Wei's words were like a demonic sound that penetrated his ears, making Ji Dian feel dizzy. He closed his eyes and tried to calm his inner turmoil.

Those questions about reincarnation and cause and effect are like candles in the darkness. Although they are weak, they are enough to illuminate the chaos and make the long-held belief in Buddhism begin to waver.

"I am an Arhat who has subdued the dragon. I have gone through thousands of calamities and hardships to achieve the status of Arhat. I should have a calm mind and be detached from everything else. However, today's debate made my mind agitated, as if I was in a strong wind and huge waves, and it was difficult to control myself."

Ji Dian thought to himself. He closed his eyes and clasped his hands together, trying to use the power of Buddhism to calm his inner turmoil.

However, Chang Wei's words were like a spell. Once heard, it was difficult to get rid of them. They circled and echoed in his mind, as if there were invisible threads, connecting the fears and doubts deep in his heart.

"Reincarnation of cause and effect will only create more evil people, because those innocent people who had no fault in their previous lives have to endure endless suffering in this life. And those who have done many evil deeds will receive retribution in reincarnation, but their evil deeds will not be punished. Passed on in every life, it affects more people.”

Chang Wei continued.

His voice became higher and higher, full of passion and power. Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Ji Dian's heart, making him unable to ignore or escape.

"Only retribution in this world can alert the world. Let everyone understand that good deeds and evil deeds will be rewarded. It is not that they will not be repaid because the time has not yet come. Only in this way can the world understand the importance of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, and enable them to cherish the present and work hard to practice. "

"Only in this way can people always remember the consequences of their actions when facing temptation and choose the right path."

This is Chang Wei's point of view, but he feels that this is reasonable. Only retribution in this world can make more people realize the importance of practicing virtue and doing good deeds.

He continued: "Furthermore, after reincarnation, there is no connection between the past and present lives. Since Meng Po Tang has washed away the past, why should the reincarnated person bear the cause and effect of the previous life? This is not fair, but cruel. "True fairness should allow everyone to be responsible for their own actions in this life, rather than carrying the shackles of their previous lives."

Ji Dian didn't know what to say for a moment, because what Chang Wei said made so much sense.

Ji Dian felt an indescribable irritability and uneasiness in his heart.

He understood that what Chang Wei said was not groundless, but contained profound thoughts and insights.

However, as a Buddhist practitioner, his belief in the reincarnation of cause and effect is like a deep-rooted tree that is difficult to shake.

"The reincarnation of cause and effect is one of the oldest and most profound laws in the universe. It ensures the continuity of life and the order of the universe."

Ji Dian finally spoke, his voice trembling, obviously trying to maintain his belief.

"The six paths of reincarnation are the transformation of life between different forms. It is both punishment and redemption. The causes of the past life and the consequences of the future life are all determined and no one can escape."

He tried to use his own beliefs to refute Chang Wei's views, but found that his words seemed so pale and weak in front of Chang Wei's powerful logic and persuasion.

Chang Wei heard the words and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "But karma, isn't this the teaching of Buddhism? Since you preach karma, why do you postpone retribution to reincarnation? Why can't you let people see it in this world? The consequences of good and evil?”

he asked rhetorically. These words were like a sharp dagger piercing Ji Dian's heart. Ji Dian suddenly felt a sharp pain, as if something was breaking in his heart.

He couldn't deny what Chang Wei said.

Karma is indeed one of the core teachings of Buddhism and a guideline that practitioners must follow. However, at this moment, under Chang Wei's questioning, he felt that his faith had become so fragile and vulnerable.

He realized that Chang Wei's question touched on the fundamental differences between Buddhism and other religions and philosophies.

It is true that the theory of reincarnation and karma plays an important role in Buddhism, but for other belief systems, these concepts may not apply or even be regarded as nonsense.

This made Ji Ding start to reflect, what is the universality of Buddhism?

Can it really explain everything in the world and answer everyone's questions?

Chang Wei's doubts are not unfounded, but directly attack the weakness of the theory of causal reincarnation.

Indeed, under the framework of reincarnation, individual independence seems to be weakened. Everyone is trying to atone for their previous lives or enjoy blessings. This is undoubtedly a certain restriction on individual free will.

Jidian's face turned pale, and he felt that his heart was experiencing an unprecedented storm.

He tried to grasp a clue to save his faith, but found that everything became so vague and confusing.

At this moment, Chang Wei's words rang again: "Buddhism emphasizes compassion and salvation of all living beings. However, if reincarnation and cause and effect are really as fair and selfless as you preach, then why are there so many sufferings and injustices in the world? Why do those innocent people have to bear the sins of others? Is this what you call compassion and justice?"

Dense beads of sweat began to seep out of Ji Dian's forehead.

He felt that his faith was facing an unprecedented challenge. He tried to refute with words, but Chang Wei's words came like a tidal wave, making him unable to resist.

"Bo Xun, you are Bo Xun, right?"

Jidian finally couldn't help it and blurted it out. Bo Xun, who is regarded as a demon king in Buddhism, has now become a synonym for Chang Wei in his heart.

Although Chang Wei's words were sharp, there was an indescribable magic hidden behind them, a magic that made him feel fear and uneasy.
