The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 773 Debate?

Hearing this, Yang Qingyuan just smiled slightly, and tapped his palm with the closed folding fan.

"Masters! Yang has always had a question, and I can see you today, I hope you can answer it."

"How can an ordinary person practice and become a Buddha?!"

Liaofan was innocent and naive. Although he didn't know what Yang Qingyuan meant, he still answered him honestly, "In order to practice and become a Buddha, you should arouse the supreme bodhicitta, and in order to save all parents and sentient beings, you must swear to practice and become a Buddha. Buddhism and Taoism must be diligently listened to, contemplated and practiced carefully..."

Yang Qingyuan smiled inexplicably, "The Buddha said that all sentient beings will be saved, why do good people practice hard for one life or ten lives, but they can't go to the spiritual mountain or attain the Buddhahood. Why is that?"

"For those who have a heart for Buddha, there are spiritual mountains everywhere. If you practice with all your heart, you will eventually become a Buddha." Qin Mengyao said.

"What this girl said is very reasonable! But I don't know, how can a villain like me, who is full of blood and murderous without counting, become a Buddha?"

"..."

All the people present were practicing Buddhism, so how could they not know the meaning of Yang Qingyuan's words.

Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot.

To become a Buddha, a good person has to cultivate his own body and go through disasters; but to become a Buddha, a wicked person only needs to put down the butcher knife.

Is this encouraging everyone to be villains? !
When all the monks were at a loss for words, Shi Feixuan said, "Then ask Marquis Yang, is it difficult for a good person to persevere in cultivation, or is it difficult for a wicked person to lay down his butcher knife?!"

"You are quite quick-witted, so Buddhism means that becoming a Buddha depends on the difficulty?!"

Someone Yang continued to secretly change concepts.

When Yang Qingyuan was in Blue Star, he was the debate team leader of the Southeast Northwest University of Finance, Politics and Law, and he was young and frivolous at the time. He didn't like the steady and steady Qizong argument school, but his favorite was the sword sect's skill school. Lose this Buddhist striker.

Yang Qingyuan's rhetorical question made Concubine Shi Xuan wonder how to answer? !
Becoming a Buddha is not an exam, it is more difficult to compare who is more difficult, what Yang Qingyuan said seems to have some truth.

Immediately, Yang Qingyuan didn't give the monks time to think, and continued to ask, "Dare to ask the monks, the monks, what is a Buddha?!"

All present are people who have practiced Buddhism for many years, so they still have some theoretical knowledge.

Qin Mengyao replied aloud, "Buddha is wisdom, virtue, and compassion. You are Buddha, I am Buddha, and all living beings are Buddhas. Buddhas are everywhere, omniscient, and omnipotent."

With the debate between the two sides, more and more disciples of the Jing Nian Zen sect surrounded here.

But Jing Nian Zen didn't open his mouth after five years, but asked Qin Mengyao and Shi Feixuan to answer.

This became a test for the two of them.

Cihang Jingzhai’s human walk not only represents Cihang Jingzhai, but also represents the Zen Buddhism of Jingnian.

Things like this are bound to happen in the future.

Cihang Jingzhai's walk in the world requires not only superior force, but also extraordinary wisdom.

Yang Qingyuan's knowledge of Dugu Nine Swords' swordsmanship was also in the room, and he immediately discovered the flaws in Qin Mengyao's answer.

"Buddhas are everywhere?" Yang Qingyuan asked suddenly.

"Buddhas are everywhere." Qin Mengyao didn't understand what Yang Qingyuan meant, but she still answered

"The Buddha knows everything?"

"Buddha knows everything!"

"Buddha is omnipotent?" Yang Qingyuan asked again.

"Buddha is omnipotent." Qin Mengyao replied again.

All the monks had a bad premonition, but they didn't know what Yang Qingyuan wanted to do.

Facts have proved that their hunch is quite accurate.

"In this case..." Yang Qingyuan opened the folding fan in his hand, with a slight smile on his face, "Can the Buddha create a stone that he can't even move?"

Qin Mengyao was about to speak subconsciously, but suddenly froze. She wanted to open her lips several times in a row, but she didn't make a sound like a fish spitting bubbles.

The concubine Xuan who was at the side also frowned deeply, and seemed to be in deep thought, leaving only a group of monks who were confused.

"Is this question difficult?! Why are the two senior sisters silent!"

"Is there a profound Buddhist teaching in this question?"

"Brother, can the Buddha create a stone that he cannot move?"

"Of course I can, my Buddha is omnipotent, has great wisdom, has great supernatural powers, what can't be done?!"

Hearing his senior's answer, the little novice hesitated for a moment, then touched his shaved bald head, "But since the Buddha is omnipotent, why can't he even lift a stone?"

"Ah this?!" The brother was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to round it up.

Suddenly someone in the crowd clapped their hands, "I understand, the Buddha couldn't create stones that he couldn't move."

The little novice glanced at the person who spoke, "Brother Guangxin, this is wrong! Buddha is omniscient and omnipotent, why can't he create a rock that he can't move?!"

The senior brother named Guangxin lowered his clenched fists when he saw the young novice's innocent appearance.

Because of this issue, there was a lot of discussion among the monks.

Jing Nian Zen sect also showed surprise on his face, and when he looked at Yang Qingyuan again, he was already full of fear.

Just a simple question has shaken the hearts of many disciples in the Jingnian Zen School. This child is really terrifying, and he must not stay!

How did he come up with this question?This is simply the way of not giving Shi Feixuan and Qin Mengyao any answer.

Because whatever they say is wrong, unless Qin Mengyao can take back what she just said and admit that Buddha is not omniscient and omnipotent.

The question "Can Buddha create a stone that he himself cannot move?" is adapted from a well-known paradox in Blue Star, called "God Paradox".

God's paradox means "God is not omnipotent". Blue Star's Holy See published a book, which used the most popular mathematical deduction at that time to derive "God is omnipotent".

A wise man asked tit for tat: "Can God create a stone that he cannot move?" If the Holy See replied yes, then God could not move the stone he created, so God is not omnipotent.If the Holy See replies that it cannot, then God cannot create a rock that He cannot lift, so God is not omnipotent.From this the wise man derived "God is not omnipotent".

As for the ending of this wise man, one can imagine that sometimes being too smart is not a good thing

……

The reason why a paradox is a paradox is that it can never have an answer unless the original assumption is overthrown.

But the Buddha is everywhere, omniscient, and omnipotent. This is one of the basic teachings of Buddhism and cannot be shaken.

Therefore, for a long period of time in the future, the monks of Jingnian Temple will be deeply trapped in this paradox and cannot extricate themselves.

Of course, the God paradox is not just a trick for debate, but also a problem in political science.

If an institution is required to have omnipotent legal power, then that institution cannot restrain itself; if an institution is required to be able to bind itself, then it cannot have omnipotent legal power.

It seems, therefore, that either there can only be a government agency which lacks self-regulation, but which has always been able to adjust the law to suit reality in the long course of history; It cannot be flexibly adjusted according to reality.

These two types of government agencies are also far away from each other on the Blue Star of later generations, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
