“How do you know that Rudra has no appearance?”
The voice of the divine monk Hui Jue rang out.
His scalp tingled at Xu Qingnian’s question, but what angered him most was not this, but the fact that Xu Qingnian was debating with Buddhist teachings.
As a member of the Buddhist sect, he should logically argue the Buddhist teachings himself, but what he did not expect was that Xu Qingnian would dare to debate the Buddhist teachings in front of him.
This had the effect of, “I didn’t bully you with Buddhist teachings, but instead you provoked me with Buddhist teachings?
On the contrary, what Xu Qingnian said about Buddhism was extremely profound, making him feel tricky, and he had suffered a big loss in the opening round.
Right now, he seized Xu Qingnian’s loophole and, with a voice like a bell, questioned Xu Qingnian.
The matter the two argued about was simple.
Is the Supreme Righteousness visible as Rulai?
Ru-lai, referring not to Buddha Ru-lai, but to the real Buddha, Buddha Ru-lai, is the one who ‘comes to the Righteous Enlightenment by the Way of Reality’.
The meaning is that the holy one who has mastered the Absolute Truth is Buddha Kṛṣṇa.
The Supreme Right Enlightenment is the enlightenment of all truths and the opening of all phases of wisdom in the Self.
The one who has attained Right Enlightenment is visible as the Buddha.
This is also a Buddhist scripture in the Western Continent, and can also be derived from the phrase, “If you do not see the Buddha, you will not attain righteousness.
According to the divine monk Hui Jue, one who has attained the Supreme Righteousness can see the Buddha.
But Xu Qingnian angrily rebuked his opponent.
The Buddha is nothingness, an incarnation of wisdom, a Buddha, and the Buddha has no appearance, for the Buddha transforms all things, and all things are Buddhas.
Naturally, how can one who has attained Supreme Enlightenment see the Buddha? If one can see the Buddha? That would be a false Buddha.
This was a description of Buddha’s supremacy, and the divine monk Hui Jue was dumbfounded; he could not refute Xu Qingnian, for to refute Xu Qingnian would mean that Buddha was not supreme.
It was as if you were a disciple of a saint, and someone praised the saint for having a heart as vast as heaven and earth, you could not possibly say that the saint’s heart was not so vast, could you?
But Divine Monk Hui Jue was no dummy, and he seized the loophole at the first opportunity to ask Xu Qingnian how you knew that Buddha was without a phase?
At this moment, he had already fallen for the trap.
Xu Qingnian was waiting for his opponent to ask such a question.
“All appearances are delusions, if you see all appearances and not appearances, you will see the Buddha.”
A flash of light.
Xu Qingnian’s voice rang out.
This was the fifth item of the Vajra Sutra, to see as one sees, as one answers from the Self.
The meaning is, if one sees all the phases and non-phases, that is, the real self, the true reality gives rise to the thought of seeing, that is, the delusional mind arises, not born and not seen realizing the true one, the mind gives birth to all things, the thought of the phase is extinguished, the phase has no body, the phase without the phase is the real one, the body without the body is the entity, there is no thought and no phase and all karmas rest.
In the simplest terms, the Buddha you can see, if he is manifested in his original form, is false, it is only the Buddha in your eyes.
If you think the Buddha is like this, then he is like this, born of your mind’s obsessions, not the real Buddha.
What you see is not what you really see.
This is what all appearances are not.
The words of the Vajra Sutra are full of supreme wisdom.
Only, just after Xu Qingnian uttered these words of the Buddha.
In an instant.
The heavens changed.
A boom.
Thunder rumbled, and on the vault of the sky, a golden beam of Buddha’s light cut through the sky and shone directly on Xu Qingnian.
A golden lotus was born beneath Xu Qingnian’s feet.
Above the golden lotus, nine lotus leaves were born, swirling with endless Buddha light.
“A ninth-grade Buddha lotus?”
“What is this?”
“How can it be a ninth-grade Buddha lotus?”
“Why did a nine-ranked golden lotus arise under Xu Qingnian’s feet?”
At this moment, the eight hundred scripture debating monks revealed their astonishment as they looked at Xu Qingnian, their eyes filled with shock.
The Golden Lotus.
It was a symbol of Buddhist perfection.
Only those with great wisdom could form the golden lotus beneath their feet.
The six golden lotuses beneath the feet of the divine monk Hui Jue were not because he had great wisdom, but because the divine monk Hui Jue had come to this place to debate the Dharma and discuss the path with his Buddhist qi.
The golden lotus beneath his feet is the Buddhist qi of the Tianzhu Temple, otherwise it would have been difficult for the divine monk to gather the golden lotus.
The golden lotus beneath the feet of the eight hundred scripture debating monks also means the same thing.
Moreover, the golden lotus has grades, one to twelve grades, three grades for sudden enlightenment, six grades for enlightenment, nine grades for complete enlightenment, and twelve grades for righteous enlightenment.
It is said that under the feet of the Bodhisattva is the lotus platform, and I, the Buddha, sit on the twelve platforms.
Under the feet of the Bodhisattva is the twelve-grade lotus platform, while under the feet of the True Buddha is the twelve-grade golden lotus platform.
The nine golden lotuses beneath Xu Qingnian’s feet are not lotus platforms and are far from the true Buddha, but something like the Buddha is itself supreme, an existence of emptiness.
The nine golden lotuses were already superior to the divine monk Huijue, and to be more precise, they were superior to all the qi of the Buddhist sect.
Naturally, the eight hundred scripture-defending monks revealed a look of unparalleled shock.
But an even more shocking scene appeared.
As the nine golden lotuses emerged beneath Xu Qingnian’s feet, a Dharma image of Rudra also appeared behind Xu Qingnian.
A magnificent sound of Buddha resounded through the heavens and the earth.
The golden Buddha’s body, ten thousand feet in height, shone between heaven and earth, and the endless Buddha’s light bathed every inch of the rivers and mountains of Great Wei.
They were bathed in the Buddha’s light and received auspiciousness, their injuries and pains were reduced by half, and if they were not ill or suffering, they inexplicably felt invigorated.
This is a supreme great divine power.
It is also a Buddhist great auspiciousness.
Great Wei Kyoto.
In the restaurant, Huixin’s expression also became incomparably shocked as he looked at Xu Qingnian, folded his hands and bowed deeply towards Xu Qingnian, saying.
“Amitabha Buddha, good and benevolent, Master Xu has actually revealed the true meaning of Rudra in one word.”
He was incomparably shocked and looked at Xu Qingnian and said so.
This sentence of Xu Qingnian’s, if one sees all the phases and not the phases, one sees both the Buddha and the true meaning of the Buddha, revealing the true meaning of the Buddha.
Yet.
It did not end there.
At this moment.
The Buddha’s shadow behind Xu Qingnian began to chant the sutra.
“As I have heard. At one time the Buddha was in the Garden of Gion, in the Land of Shewei, with a great multitude of bhikkhus, one thousand two hundred and fifty people. Then His Holiness, clothed with a bowl at mealtime, went into the great city of Shiva to beg for food. And when he had begged in that city, he returned to his own place, and when he had finished eating, he put away his mantle, washed his feet, and sat down on his seat.”
The sound of the scripture slowly rang out from the capital of Great Wei, and then spread out to the dynasty of Great Wei, and then to the entire Central Continent.
Even at the end, it reached the entire Dust World.
In the middle of the West Continent.
The vast sound of the Buddha resounded, shaking the heavens and the earth, a terrifying sound that made the heavens and the earth change colour.
The West Continent.
It is mostly a barren place, with bare ground everywhere, but a single temple, towering over all of the Western Continent.
Thousands of years ago, when the Western Continent was even more barren and devoid of birds and animals, Buddhist monks arrived to pioneer Buddhism and establish temples here, leading the people of the Western Continent step by step.
After countless years of development, although the Western Continent is still barren, many parts of it have come to life.
And it is here that the power of Buddha was born and nurtured.
The Western Continent is a Buddhist country.
There may be no country, but there must be no temples. Here the power of the Buddha is greater than that of the king, and the people believe in the Buddha’s Way.
It is a fervent faith, engraved into their bones.
It was at this moment that the people believed in Buddhism to the very core of their being.
A golden cloud came from the Central Continent and covered the entire Western Continent.
With the appearance of this golden cloud.
A Buddha’s image appeared, the true body of the Great Sun Buddha, so magnificent that it surpa*sed all true Buddhas.
The Buddha’s light covers the sky and fills people with awe and shock.
The Buddha Kingdom of the Western Continent.
Countless people, looking at this terrifying sight, knelt on the ground in unison, sensing this glorious heavenly might, the Buddha’s light rushing into the sky, the true Buddha descending into the world, and were even more excited and shocked beyond measure.
“It’s the true Buddha.”
“The true Buddha has revealed himself.”
“This is the true Buddha, the real Buddha.”
“This Buddha is the true Buddha.”
“Come and worship the true Buddha.”
“What’s going on? Why has the true Buddha suddenly appeared in my Western Continent?”
“Where did the true Buddha come from?”
As the voices rang out, the believers of the Western Continent revealed an unparalleled look, their eyes filled with shock.
They didn’t know how such a terrifying shadow of Buddha had suddenly appeared?
But no matter what, the first thing they did was to kneel down on the ground and bow towards the Buddha, performing the great salute of prostration.
“All appearances are delusions, if you see all appearances and not appearances, you will see the Buddha.”
A magnificent and sacred voice resounded in the Western Continent.
The true Buddha’s imaginary shadow was reflected in all the lands of the Western Continent.
The faith of all beings also turned into an infinite amount of light at this moment, like an endless torrent, surging towards Xu Qingnian.
An ancient temple, too, erupted with golden light at this moment.
A shadow of Buddha appeared, a Buddha enshrined in each temple.
“Look, you guys, these Buddhas, they are worshipping this true Buddha.”
“This is the Buddha, the Buddha has revealed his spirit.”
“The Buddha has come out of the world.”
“It’s actually the Buddha?”
At this very moment, the shamans and monks in the temple suddenly opened their eyes wide as they watched the Buddha enshrined in their own temple, actually making a pilgrimage to this true Buddha.
For a moment, they realised a possibility.
“Amitabha Buddha, this is a great vision of the Buddhist sect, where all the Buddhas are making a pilgrimage, and someone in the Central Continent is chanting out the true scriptures of the Buddha.”
An old monk spoke up, and he instantly understood what had happened, revealing an unparalleled look of shock.
“It’s the True Sutra of the Buddha, it’s the True Sutra of the Buddha.”
“Amitabha Buddha, it really is the True Sutra of the Buddha.”
“All appearances are not appearances, that is to see the Buddha, this is the sutra of observing the Buddha, the true sutra of the Buddha.”
Those old monks gradually reacted, their eyes widened as they all let out shocked sounds.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Also at that moment, in the Western Continent, in the Little Thunder Sound Temple, the sound of a Buddha’s trumpet rang out, shaking the heavens and the earth.
With the sound of the Buddha’s trumpet, a new voice also resounded in the Little Thunder Sound Temple.
“This is the True Sutra of the Buddha, a new true meaning of the Buddhist sect, which speaks of the true meaning of the Buddha, all the monks of the Western Continent, worship the Buddha.”
It was the great figure from the Little Thunder Sound Temple who spoke.
Let the Buddhist disciples of the Western Continent make a pilgrimage to worship the Buddha.
But the great figure of the Little Thunder Sound Temple did not know clearly what scriptures the Vajra Sutra was, and had only just listened to it, so how could he have an epiphany.
It was considered a new school of thought, a new kind of true meaning.
In the Tianzhu Temple.
The divine monk Garan was chanting the sutra, and after feeling this vast Buddhist power, the divine monk Garan could not help but speak.
“Good, good, a new school has emerged from my Buddhist school, this school of the mind is the true meaning of the Buddha.”
“Master Xu has the wisdom phase of my Buddhist school and is the reincarnation of the eight heavenly dragons of my Buddhist school; if Master Xu is willing to convert to my Buddha, I would like to offer Master Xu as the protector of the path of my Buddhist school, whose status is that of the first person of my Buddhist school.”
He agreed with Little Thunderbolt Temple.
Consider this a new learning.
The true meaning of the Buddha.
It is the supreme true scripture, there is no doubt about that, but it cannot challenge the current Buddhist school, it can only be said to have created a new learning, not to have overturned the Buddhist school.
The Buddhist school is still the Buddhist school, and the sutras they have learnt are still the first Buddhist sutras.
However, the divine monk of the Tianzhu Temple, Galan, also still believed that Xu Qingnian had a wisdom phase and was the reincarnation of the Eight Heavenly Dragons, and he even took the initiative to ask for it.
As long as Xu Qingnian converted to Buddhism, he was willing to worship Xu Qingnian as the protector of the Way, with a transcendent status as the number one Buddhist.
In other words, Xu Qingnian could enjoy the Buddha Sect’s qi.
When these words were spoken, among the Western Continent, there were no telling how many monks were shocked, each one moved.
Right now, the Buddhist Sect had come this far, and to put it bluntly, if the Buddhist Sect were to really flourish, the Qi luck at that time would be practically endless.
It would be better than all systems, and it might be possible to give birth to a superb Buddha.
This was the Buddha Sect’s effort of several thousand years, or even tens of thousands of years, so much qi luck that it was looking to pick the fruit, and now it was taking the initiative to give Xu Qingnian a share of the pie.
And it was still for Xu Qingnian to share a big piece of the pie, how could this make them willing to accept it willingly?
But looking at the true Buddha’s shadow appearing in the sky above the Western Continent, even though they were reluctant in their hearts, they still had to accept it, after all, Xu Qingnian recited the true scripture of the Buddha, which was too different in meaning.
At this moment, the monks of the Western Continent, including the people of the Western Continent, all made a pilgrimage towards the true Buddha’s shadow.
They were respectful.
The vast power of the chanting turned into a torrent, rolling up from the Western Continent and pouring into the Great Wei Dynasty.
The Great Wei Dynasty.
In the middle of Kyoto.
The people had been completely shocked, and the vast voice of the Garan divine monk rang out with extreme seriousness in its tone.
This shook the world, Xu Qingnian was now a Sage of the Martial Dao, a Half-Saint of the Confucian Dao, and a Jade Clear Realm of the Immortal Dao, and now he could enjoy the Buddhist qi?
This is too unbelievable, isn’t it?
How many years of effort has the Buddhist school expended in the struggle for qi? In the former case, there was the Little Thunder Sound Temple, and in the latter case, the Tianzhu Temple debated the Dharma, plus the Buddhist Sect went through thousands of years of hard work in the Western Continent.
So that the desolate land of the Western Continent has been given a new lease of life, which is the result of thousands, if not tens of thousands, of years of effort.
How great a price had been paid for everything? But now he was willing to let Xu Qingnian share the Buddha’s qi?
This is truly a great boon, it is like someone among the Immortal Sect arriving at the Super Grade and comprehending the true Immortal Dao.
This is like someone in the Immortal Sect who has reached the Super Grade and realized the true Immortal Dao, and is about to live forever, asking Xu Qingnian if she is willing to share in the Longevity Qi?
If Xu Qingnian was willing to join the Immortal Sect, she would share in the longevity qi luck.
The price was great.
It was also enough to prove one thing that the Buddha Sect really valued Xu Qingnian extremely highly and hoped that Xu Qingnian would join the Buddha Sect.
And inside Kyoto.
When Xu Qingnian recited the Vajra Sutra.
The nine golden lotuses were born beneath his feet, and the Buddha’s wisdom phase evolved.
The Seven Great Dasian Sects’ sect heads also revealed shocked expressions.
In the Tai Shang Immortal Palace, all the disciples of the Tai Shang Immortal Sect gathered here, and they looked at Xu Qingnian with shock in their eyes.
Even Daoist Wudu couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
“Who in the world is Xu Sheng? A half-saint in Confucianism, a saint in martial arts, an immortal in the Jade Clear Realm, and now a Buddhist in one? If so, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and Martial Arts, all four in one, have never been seen before in the past and present.”
Daoist Wuduan was shocked, his eyes full of shock and astonishment, unable to suppress this shock from his heart.
He had thought that Xu Qingnian was already a complete master of both literature and martial arts, as well as practising martial arts, but he had never expected that.
Xu Qingnian is now also proficient in Buddhism, which …….. This is incredible.
The Returning Yuan Formation Sect, the Zhantian Sword Sect, the Ruyi Weapon Sect, all these immortal sect leaders, also made shocked noises.
They looked at Xu Qingnian, and for a moment, they really didn’t know what to say.
All of Xu Qingnian’s achievements, if any of them were taken out, would be something that would shake the world, but when all of these things were concentrated on Xu Qingnian alone, it would seem extremely mythical.
In particular, after hearing the Buddha Sect offer this bargaining chip, Lin Lin Zhen Zhen could not help but transmit his divine sense.
“Gentlemen, what the poor dao said before must be well thought out, the fact that the Buddha Sect dares to do this is proof enough of how important Xu Qingnian is.”
“If we are still hesitant, we are only afraid that someone else will pick our qi when the time comes.”
Lin Lin Zhen Zhen spoke up as he hurriedly said, asking the crowd to think about what he had said before.
A complete entry into Great Wei was a way to completely stand in line and support Xu Qingnian.
After all, the Buddhist Sect was now fighting with them.
His voice rang out, and among the Immortal Sects, apart from the Seven Star Dao Sect, the other five great Immortal Sect heads all pondered, as they understood what Real Lin Zhen had said.
But this was the sort of thing that they really needed to ponder over as well.
And in the Heaven and Earth Palace.
Wang Chaoyang looked at all this, his eyes showing a look of reluctance and anger.
He was a bit reluctant, or to be more precise, he regretted that he had not taken the initiative to argue the Dharma, although he did not know the scriptures, he knew some Buddhist principles.
Whether he could win or not was one thing, but the main thing was that he could not see Xu Qingnian being so good.
He could not see Xu Qingnian doing so well. He had gathered the nine lotuses and given birth to the Buddha’s wisdom phase, so many benefits, all of which were taken away by Xu Qingnian.
This filled him with jealousy.
Right now, the thing he was most worried about was that Xu Qingnian had really agreed to enter the Buddha Sect.
If this was really the case, Xu Qingnian’s future achievements would be immeasurable, and the entire Buddhist Sect would be backing Xu Qingnian, which was no small thing.
The Buddha Sect has been in existence for too long.
Moreover, the Buddha Sect had hardly broken its lineage, and this group of people was hiding deep, even deeper than Confucianism, and the people behind him only feared that they did not want Xu Qingnian to agree.
It was also at that moment.
With the boundless flood of numinous power coming in, this was the power of faith of the beings of the Western Continent, and it was terrifying.
This numinous power was to be added to Xu Qingnian’s body.
Amongst the Buddhists, each of the eight hundred scripture debating monks revealed an unspeakable expression, their expressions were somewhat indistinct, after all, such a vast amount of numinous power, if it were to be imbued on them.
They could break through their current realm directly.
However, if it was imbued on Xu Qingnian, it would not be a good thing for them. There was jealousy, but more than that, there was envy.
It was envy that the divine monk Hui Jue was envious of, envious of this vast numinous power, especially the words spoken by the divine monk Garan of the Tianzhu Temple.
He was willing to allow Xu Qingnian to be the protector of the Buddha’s Way and enjoy the Buddha’s great qi.
He had worked so hard to come over to debate the Dharma, but he was only afraid that he would not be able to enjoy much qi luck by then, while Xu Qingnian only needed to nod his head and he could enjoy the supreme great qi luck of the Buddha Sect.
How could he bear this?
How could he be willing to do so?
But no matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to admit it, who had allowed Xu Qingnian to recite the Buddha’s ancient scriptures?
At the same time, he looked at these chanting powers, if they were given to him, not to say that he could become a First Grade Zhengjue, at least he could become half a First Grade.
It was also at that moment.
Xu Qingnian waved his hand, and instead of accepting the beings’ chanting power, he condensed the Great Wei Dragon Cauldron.
The Dragon Cauldron appeared.
Swallowing all of the numinous energy, the numinous energy turned into a tornado and was directly swallowed by the Great Wei Dragon Cauldron in its entirety.
“Rejecting Buddhist numinous power?”
“What is Xu Qingnian doing here?”
“Does he not want to have a connection with the Buddha Sect?”
“Hiss, to reject the Buddha Sect’s numinous power? What courage.”
People were shocked, and murmurs rang out.
No one had expected that Xu Qingnian would reject the Buddha Sect’s numinous power, a numinous power that was enough to make Xu Qingnian metamorphose, and now the Nine Golden Lotus was born under Xu Qingnian’s feet.
There was even a Buddhist wisdom phase, so if Xu Qingnian was willing, he could use this terrifying numinous power to practise Buddhism.
In this way, Xu Qingnian would have the possibility of the third grade of Buddhism.
But what was unexpected was that Xu Qingnian had refused.
The world was shocked, but secretly there were many forces who were relieved, they did not want to see that scene.
Right now, Xu Qingnian’s refusal was a good thing for them, a great thing.
No matter what Xu Qingnian’s reason for refusing was, the current Xu Qingnian was already an unstoppable presence to them, if Xu Qingnian agreed to enter the Buddhist Sect.
If Xu Qingnian agreed to join the Buddhist Sect, the Immortal Sect would not stand idly by, and with the support of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, martial arts and the Great Wei Dynasty, Xu Qingnian would no longer be a pawn.
Rather, he would be a chess player, and one with great power.
At this moment, the Great Wei Dragon Cauldron devoured the numinous power like crazy and received a new transformation.
Above the royal residence.
Stepping on the Nine Golden Lotus, Xu Qingnian quietly looked at the immense and incomparable numinous power.
To be honest, Xu Qingnian didn’t really want to get involved with the Buddhists, after all, the Buddhists had the saying of cause and effect, that when one received the numinous power of all beings, one had to feed back the benefits to all beings.
One takes, one gets.
It’s not really as good as one would think, and most of all, one is involved for no reason at all.
But the Great Wei Dragon Cauldron is different, this is the national fortune, representing that this is the Great Wei Dynasty.
They were originally beings, and getting the power of beings was naturally the icing on the cake.
Of course, the main reason was that Xu Qingnian wished to quickly condense the Dragon Cauldron of the Middle Continent.
If the Dragon Cauldron could be coalesced, then everything would be fine.
Roar.
The Great Wei Dragon Cauldron finished devouring the beliefs of all the beings in the Western Continent and evolved into a true dragon, hovering behind Xu Qingnian, a ten-thousand-foot true dragon that looked extremely terrifying and inexplicably awe-inspiring.
Inside the imperial palace.
The Empress felt this power, and the Great Wei Dragon Cauldron was once again transformed; if it continued like this, it might be possible to form the Zhongzhou Dragon Cauldron.
Her beautiful eyes revealed a look of joy.
Xu Qingnian was really the saviour of Great Wei, and a change that had never occurred in the Central Continent might be possible because of Xu Qingnian.
It was at this moment.
The voice of Divine Monk Hui Jue rang out.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
“Master Xu, who is the reincarnation of the Eight Heavenly Dragons, there are already signs of this matter, I wonder why Master Xu is unwilling to accept the power of the thoughts of all beings?”
Divine Monk Hui Jue looked at Xu Qingnian, his eyes filled with curiosity.
When this was said, Xu Qingnian looked at the other party with an indifferent expression.
“The third question, you have already lost.”
Xu Qingnian did not want to talk to Divine Monk Huijue about this topic.
Today was a debate on the law, so he would debate to the end.
What was the point of talking about anything else?
Looking at Xu Qingnian, the divine monk Hui Jue could not help but sigh, but soon he folded his hands and looked at Xu Qingnian and said.
“The third question, I have lost, but today I can see Master Xu’s phase of enlightened wisdom, I am still honoured despite my defeat. If I can guide Master Xu to the other side, even if I lose all today, I am still willing to do so.”
The divine monk Hui Jue spoke.
With a face full of compa*sion for the world, he looked at Xu Qingnian and said so, appearing compa*sionate and Amitabha Buddha.
Only, when this was said, it made people feel somewhat inexplicably nauseous.
Xu Qingnian recited the Vajra Sutra, although it was only a small section, it was still the true sutra of the Buddha. In theory, Xu Qingnian’s wisdom was unparalleled, and just by taking this section of the Vajra Sutra, Xu Qingnian said that he was the number one in the Buddhist sect.
There was nothing wrong with it either.
However, the divine monk Hui Jue had to stress that Xu Qingnian was the eight heavenly dragons of the Buddha Sect, which was really disgusting.
To really say that Xu Qingnian claimed to be the reincarnation of the Buddha was not too much to ask.
At the very least, the Vajra Sutra is a supreme true scripture in this world.
But this is the tactic of the West Continent Buddhism, if you can’t beat you, you will be disgusted, if you can beat you, you are a demon still not ambushed?
However, just at this moment, Xu Qingnian suddenly spoke.
“Where is the other shore?”
The voice rang out, a query from Xu Qingnian.
But it was not Xu Qingnian who had asked the question.
The person who asked the question was still the divine monk Hui Jue.
He was willing to guide Xu Qingnian to the other shore, and that Xu Qingnian obediently spoke up and asked him to use the other shore as the question.
When this was said, the divine monk Huijue was stunned.
He did not expect Xu Qingnian to play this trick?
After only freezing, Divine Monk Hui Jue took a deep breath and looked at Xu Qingnian and said, “Extreme happiness is the other shore.”
This was his reply.
The world of extreme happiness was the other shore.
“Wrong.”
However, in the next moment, Xu Qingnian spoke out directly.
“What’s wrong with that?”
Divine Monk Hui Jue looked at Xu Qingnian.
“Extreme happiness is not the other shore, and the other shore is both extreme happiness.”
Xu Qingnian spoke up and gave his reply.
What the divine monk Hui Jue meant was that the world of bliss was the other shore.
However, Xu Qingnian did not think that the world of extreme bliss was the other shore, but that the other shore was of extreme bliss, but the world of extreme bliss, was not the other shore.
The two sound like they mean the same thing, except that the order is switched.
But the actual meaning is completely different.
According to the divine monk Hui Jue, the Western blissful world is the other shore, but Xu Qingnian believes that the other shore is blissful, but not the Western blissful world.
This is a new debate.
What is bliss.
The divine monk Hui Jue shook his head and looked at Xu Qingnian and said.
“Our Buddha has said that in the world of ultimate bliss, there are thousands of Dharma gates, endless Buddha light, golden lotuses on the earth, smallpoxes, Buddhist music to cleanse the heart, and Buddhist teachings to open up wisdom.”
“Waterfalls of the Milky Way, ancient trees in the sky, reaching the other shore, free from worry, free from disease, free from immortality, free from anger, free from the seven emotions, free from the six desires, protected by the Vajra, with divine beasts sitting on the ground, listening to the Buddha’s scriptures, enjoying eternal bliss.”
“This is the world of ultimate bliss.”
“It is also the other shore.”
The divine monk Hui Jue spoke up, denying Xu Qingnian’s view that the world of ultimate bliss, was the true other shore, where people did not have any worries or illnesses and could listen to the Buddha’s sutras and enjoy true ultimate bliss.
When people heard these remarks, they inexplicably became very interested in the world of bliss.
If there is no worry, no disease, no calamity, no immortality, no anger, no anger, it is desirable.
“Wrong.”
However, Xu Qingnian once again rejected the other party’s remarks.
“This realm is not the ultimate bliss.”
Xu Qingnian shook his head.
When this was said, the divine monk Hui Jue was somewhat annoyed, and not just him, but the eight hundred scripture debating monks were also somewhat annoyed.
The Buddhist world of ultimate bliss, this was their faith and the true meaning of Buddhism, and all Buddhist disciples hoped that one day, they would be able to be born in ultimate bliss.
Enjoying no worries and the bliss of ultimate happiness.
Otherwise, what is the purpose of their suffering in the human world?
Xu Qingnian’s repeated denial of the ultimate bliss is a way of shaking their Buddha essence and their Buddha heart.
They were extremely displeased.
For a moment, Divine Monk Hui Jue looked at Xu Qingnian and slowly spoke.
“Then dare I ask Master Xu, where is the ultimate bliss?”
Divine Monk Hui Jue did not hasten to deny it, but wanted to listen to Xu Qingnian’s answer.
If you say that the world of ultimate bliss is not ultimate bliss, then what place is ultimate bliss?
“Earth is the ultimate bliss.”
Xu Qingnian replied, without any hesitation.
But once this was said, the eight hundred scripture debating monks could not help but reveal a snort of laughter, and the divine monk Hui Jue even let out a long sigh.
The immortal clans within Kyoto, as well as the people, could not help but fall silent after hearing this answer again.
Although they didn’t understand Buddhism, they also knew that what ultimate bliss was earthly?
“Amitabha Buddha.”
“Master Xu, you’re still caught up in the world.”
“As a half-saint of Confucianism, and a prince of the Great Wei, and a saint of the martial arts, it can be said that anything you have in your possession, taken alone, is something that ordinary people cannot ask for in their lifetime.”
“To you, earth is the ultimate bliss because you cannot see the sorrow and suffering of the human world, you are blinded by power, you are obscured by worldliness and your wisdom.”
“The human world is the sea of suffering, the world is struggling in the sea of suffering, the world of bliss is the other shore, the physical body imprisons the world’s Buddha mind.”
“Only when one is free from the physical body and understands wisdom can one achieve righteousness, step onto the bridge to the other shore, enter the Elysium, and reach the other shore.”
The divine monk Hui Jue gives his answer, which is the fundamental of Buddhism, the most famous saying of the Sea of Suffering.
If this were to be overthrown, it would be tantamount to overthrowing the root of everything in Buddhism.
Since ancient times, there have been many attempts to overthrow the fundamentals of Buddhism, but all of them have failed. This theory of Buddhism has been refined over countless years, rounding itself up to form a truly insoluble problem.
Therefore, the divine monk Hui Jue did not believe that Xu Qingnian could overturn the theory of the Buddha’s root.
In the fourth debate, the Buddhists had also finally pulled off a victory.
Not only did the Buddhist disciples think so, but in fact, all the forces concerned had already decided that Xu Qingnian would only lose this debate.
The human world is a sea of suffering.
Not only did the Buddhists think this way, but the Immortals’ reasoning was also the same.
However, the Buddhist school is the sea of suffering, while the immortal school is the red dust.
It is only when one is free from the sea of suffering and the red dust that one can attain the Way.
Xu Qingnian, however, said that the human world was the ultimate bliss, which was completely against the truth of both.
But at that very moment.
Xu Qingnian’s voice rang out.
“The world is a sea of suffering and red dust; reach the other shore, transcend yourself and enjoy the ultimate bliss on earth.”
“But what is bliss? Is the ultimate happiness the absence of the seven pa*sions and six desires? Is the ultimate happiness to be free from worries and cares? Is the Buddha’s chanting of scriptures the ultimate bliss?”
“Between heaven and earth, yin and yang coexist, and only when there is yang can there be yin. If there is no love, how can we know suffering? If there is no love, how can we know joy?”
“There are eight sufferings in this world: old age, sickness and death, love and separation, long-lasting grievances, inability to seek, and the burning of the five yin.”
“This is the sea of suffering and red dust, but one can understand clearly that if the eight sufferings become happiness, then it is the ultimate happiness, and the other shore is at one’s feet.”
Xu Qingnian spoke, he did not think that being carefree is the ultimate happiness, the stone is also carefree and has no emotions, is this happiness?
Is a person still human without the seven emotions and six desires?
Transcending everything, without humanity, this is Buddha, not joy, this existence is to cut down the world’s worries.
Buddha does not need much.
Buddha is a spirit, not a belief. Buddha clears away the world’s worries, not makes the world all Buddhist.
If that were the case, there would be no need for this world to exist.
It was only this that was said.
Divine Monk Hui Jue laughed and looked at Xu Qingnian and said.
“If, according to what Master Xu said, the eight sufferings become eight pleasures, and earth is both the ultimate bliss and the other shore beneath your feet, how can this be done?”
Divine Monk Hui Jue spoke.
There was no problem with this theory that Xu Qingnian said, and in fact it had been put forward.
Without the seven emotions and six desires, what kind of bliss is it?
But the problem is, raise the issue, you have to solve the problem.
You can’t just say that it’s okay to raise it?
You say that the seven pa*sions and six desires are pleasurable, that’s fine, but how can you solve the eight sufferings?
You can’t solve the problem of birth, old age, sickness and death.
You can solve them, but you can’t have the seven pa*sions and six desires.
There is loss and there is gain.
It is also in line with heavenly principles.
In this way, the divine monk Hui Jue had taken Xu Qingnian to his knees.
When Xu Qingnian raised this question, he did not care, and when he spoke this truth, he did not feel anything either.
Solving problems is the core of dialectics.
If you can’t solve it yourself, then what are you talking about? The Buddhists have a method of solution, a method of transcendence.
So this debate, no matter what, he could win.
But just then.
Xu Qingnian fell silent.
He looked at the vault of heaven and pondered something.
There are eight sufferings in life.
One suffering is the suffering of birth.
The world is an ocean of suffering, when will life and death ever end? The origin of suffering is living, so when a person is born, it is bawling, not joy.
The second suffering is that of old age.
All that is good gradually withers away, all that is good will eventually grow old, every day grows old, yesterday is gone, today is a new birth.
The third suffering is the suffering of sickness.
Sickness and pain are unbearable.
The fourth suffering is the suffering of death.
Death does not bring suffering, but mental torture is far better than pain.
Just ask yourself, have you ever wondered, in the dead of night, what the world will be like after death?
If there is a netherworld, it is a good thing, but if there is no netherworld, if there is no talk of reincarnation, if everything disappears completely after you die, this is still a good thing.
If you die and your consciousness is still there, but there is darkness between heaven and earth, and you cannot speak to anyone, only your consciousness lasts for countless years, that is the real fear.
The suffering of love and separation, the suffering of not being able to seek, the suffering of resentment and hatred, the suffering of the five blazing netherworlds.
These sufferings, which converge like an ocean, cause one to struggle constantly.
Under the eight sufferings, all beings wail.
How can they be broken?
The answer given by Buddhism is the world of bliss, reaching the other shore.
Forget all worries.
Forget all things.
Without the seven emotions, without humanity, then everything, everything, will be empty.
Like a stone that has remained unchanged for ages, there is no pain for it, because he has nothing left.
But just at that moment.
Xu Qingnian slowly stretched out his hand.
He squeezed out a magic seal.
Monk Hui Jue looked at Xu Qingnian with some curiosity in his eyes, wondering what Xu Qingnian was doing.
The eight hundred scripture debating monks were also very curious, not understanding what Xu Qingnian was doing.
They were not the only ones, the whole of the Great Wei capital.
The empress in the imperial palace, the six ministers, and all the civil servants of the court were all curious.
Inside the Palace of Heaven and Earth, Wang Chaoyang could not help but frown, he was also very curious about what Xu Qingnian was doing.
The disciples of the Seven Great Daxian Sects looked at Xu Qingnian in unison.
The people of Kyoto were also very puzzled.
Only in the tavern.
Monk Hui Xin, looking at Xu Qingnian, inexplicably thought of something.
“The eight sufferings in the world are transformed into an ocean of suffering.”
“Today I am pa*sing on the Dharma of the other shore, for the world to transcend the other shore.”
Xu Qingnian slowly spoke, his Dharma seal dignified, his appearance sacred, and his voice also slowly sounded.
“Take your own mind, realize that you are trapped by illusionary existence, that illusionary existence involves the mind, that there is birth and death, that birth and death continue with ignorance, that ignorance becomes the world, and that all dharmas appear only in the mind.”
“All the living things are like a dream and a bubble; like dew and like lightning, one should see it as such.”
Xu Qingnian’s voice gradually boomed.
This was the Vajra Sutra again.
But it was the most profound sentence in the Vajra Sutra.
Everything is a dream and a bubble, everything in this world is a cloud of smoke and must not be clung to.
No matter how beautiful or sad, they all pa*s away in a flash, as the saying goes.
Don’t pursue it too much, and don’t cling to it too much.
In a flash.
An unmistakable voice rang out.
This voice did not come from Xu Qingnian.
Rather, it was the Dharma phase behind Xu Qingnian that coalesced out.
“The elements are impermanent.”
“All dharmas have no self.”
“Nirvana is silent.”
An ancient voice rang out, the voice of a true Buddha.
This voice was heard throughout the entire Middle Continent.
The Buddha figure behind Xu Qingnian even transformed into a real ancient Buddha completely and utterly at this moment.
Boom boom boom.
At this moment.
Throughout the entire Western Continent, all the temples instantly erupted with terrifying Buddhist light, and the vast and incomparable sound of the Buddha’s voice resounded throughout everything in the entire Western Continent.
“This can’t be.”
“This can’t be.”
“This is the True Buddha Dharma Seal, this is the True Buddha Dharma Seal.”
In the middle of the Western Continent, an unparalleled voice resounded.
It was an old monk who had been sitting here withered for a hundred years and was regarded by the monks of the Western Continent as a Buddha who was about to attain the Dao.
His status was extremely high and his Dharma profound, and in a sense he was even higher than the divine monk of the Tianzhu Temple Garan.
But what he did not expect was that in this instant, his eyes opened, and an unparalleled look of shock was revealed among his cloudy gaze.
This was the Three Dharma Seals.
The supreme Dharma Seal of the Buddhist sect, the only criteria for identifying true Buddhas from false Buddhas.
All actions are impermanent, all dharmas are egoless, and silent nirvana.
They represent the three realms.
The only one who has reached these three realms is the true Buddha, and if he has not reached these three realms, he is a false Buddha.
Xu Qingnian squeezes the three Dharma Seals and speaks the true meaning of Buddhism.
The true Buddha was invoked to reveal himself and bless him with immeasurable Buddha Dharma.
“All living dharma is like a dream and a bubble; like dew and like lightning, one should see it as such.”
This is Xu Qingnian’s solution to the eight sufferings.
Everything is but a dream and a bubble, and should not be pursued excessively.
The world should understand that all dharmas are impermanent, and one can be free from the sea of suffering, and the other shore is under one’s feet.
At this moment.
An even more shocking voice rang out.
“Look.”
“Look, you guys.”
“Behind Xu Qingnian’s head, the Buddha’s Wheel of Wisdom has appeared.”
As this voice rang out.
In an instant, countless gazes looked over.
It was indeed true.
The Buddhist Wisdom Wheel had actually appeared behind Xu Qingnian’s head.
Like a rainbow, also like gold, it was incomparably radiant, one after another, with a full nine wisdom wheels.
“This.”
“This.”
“This can’t be.”
The body of the divine monk Hui Jue trembled as this scene caused him to feel an unparalleled shock, more shocking than the appearance of a true Buddha.
The Buddha’s wisdom wheel.
This represented wisdom.
One weight of wisdom was a heavy heaven.
The four great divine monks were only six heavies of the Buddha Wheel, and the Garan divine monk was seven heavies.
Xu Qingnian had a ninth weight.
But what was truly terrifying was not this.
Rather, Xu Qingnian was not a Buddhist cultivator.
There was not a single bit of Buddha Dharma in him.
They were practising the Dharma of the Buddhist sect and condensed out, Xu Qingnian’s wisdom Buddha Wheel.
The difference between the two was a hundred thousand miles.
Moreover, the nine heavens represented that it was the Righteous Enlightenment.
Xu Qingnian was the Buddha’s Righteous Enlightenment.
This moment.
In the capital of Great Wei, a golden lotus, gushing out from the ground, a flower, sprinkled down from the vault of heaven.
In the middle of the Western Continent.
The divine monk Garan was utterly frozen, not because of this Wisdom Buddha Wheel, but the Three Dharma Seals.
