Can you live forever

Chapter 290 People's prejudices, at the foot of Five Fingers Mountain

"Wan Xing, Li Chao Guoshi 500 years ago?"

If Daming wants to manage Annan, it is impossible for Zhang Zhixiang not to know Annan's information in advance. He has read the information about Annan, and the name Wanxing is no stranger to him.

Even if there are discrepancies between the historical records and the reality, Wan Xing is still a pivotal figure in the history of Annan Buddhism.

Zhang Zhixiang even read the first poem of Wanxing.

The title of the poem is "Showing Disciples", and the poem says: "The body is like a movie, and there is nothing. Ten thousand trees bloom in spring and wither in autumn. There is no fear in the ups and downs of fortune, and the ups and downs are like dew grass."

It's just that I didn't know how open-minded I was in the past, but how much is left today.

After 500 years, it is difficult to say whether it has lived for 500 years or not, but the living soul must have stayed in the world for 500 years. Now it is embarrassing and ugly to be possessed by Zheng Jian.

"I've lived for 500 years without humans or ghosts. I'm afraid this Dharma is not enough to convince the public?"

"It's just a skin, if you can give it up, why don't I?"

Zheng Jian smiled, kicked the ball back, and immediately saw through Zhang Zhixiang's biggest secret. He said, he saw that you, Zhang Zhixiang, were also reincarnated.

However, Zhang Zhixiang was unmoved.

He just said, "I'm still me, and you're not you."

Zhang Zhixiang emphasized the difference between the two. As a human being in his second life, he experienced "creation". His parents conceived and gave him a body.

Rather than saying that he retained his memory, it is better to say that someone helped him open the seeds of his previous life.

"People live a lifetime, but they don't experience a lifetime."

"It's just the general public, the vast majority of the world, who only know this life, not the past, or the next life."

"The karma of a person's life should be cleansed after death and returned to the heaven and the earth. The results of the karma will be sealed in the alaya consciousness, and reincarnations will have their own retribution. The accumulation of generations will not be happy."

"I have the help of noble people, open the seed storage, get the seeds of the previous life, and bear the fruit of the present life."

"My origin is in line with the way of heaven, and I came into being as the times require, which is different from yours."

Wan Xing smiled and said: "It's a good one that came into being. You came here just to make Annan's life miserable. The kind and peaceful people were slaughtered, and the cruel and vicious people were unscrupulous."

"Your Excellency's so-called fate, isn't it a demon?"

"The demon talks about the Buddha's Dharma, which means... to deceive all living beings!"

Wan Xing directly debunked the discussion of identity, and put the blame for the war on Zhang Zhixiang's head, saying that he was the devil who started the war, and his teachings were all demonic.

If Zhang Zhixiang turned around at this time and entangled with his identity, Wan Xing could just keep silent and smile, and the public would vent their doubts on Zhang Zhixiang.

"Lost lives? Before June, when the main force of the Ming army was still in Annan, there was only peace. It was all caused by the massacre of your rebels!"

"If the Ming army didn't equalize the fields, if they didn't kill the gentry first, how could there be rebels?"

"A gentry eats people, he should kill himself!"

"In the world, every drink and peck has a definite number. As your Excellency said, reincarnation is not happy with retribution. Good and evil have their own rewards. Among the gentry, those who do evil will suffer in the next life. Among the people, those who think good and do good deeds will be rich in the next life. Your Excellency intervened in it and ruined the karma of all sentient beings, so why do you not repent?"

As soon as Wan Xing said this, many people looked at Zhang Zhixiang with hatred in their eyes.

This monk debates the Dharma, digs traps everywhere, and is used to making use of them. Why does the Dharma always prosper?It's what the rulers need.The theory of reincarnation and reincarnation is the cornerstone of a stable society and the only light for countless low-level people...

The biggest difference between the reincarnation preached by Buddhism and the real reincarnation is that it negates the current life.

Yes, there is no hope in this life, so we will look to the next life.

This is specially modified for feudal oppressive rule.

Zhang Zhixiang is very aware of the shortcomings of the opponent's theory, but the prejudice of the people is the most difficult thing to break. If he attacks this prejudice now, he will undoubtedly be suppressed by Wan Xing.

While Zhang Zhixiang was still thinking, Wan Xing continued to speak.

"Your Excellency, the blessings of all living beings are poor. If you have not practiced for many lifetimes, they will not be able to receive the blessings you give. There is an old saying in China that every man is innocent and he is guilty."

"People with poor fortune will suffer disaster if they take too many things."

"Even though you have good intentions to help the people of the world, you have never considered the people of the world... I can't handle it!"

This passage is aimed at Zhang Zhixiang. Wan Xing intends to kill people and punish his heart. If Zhang Zhixiang cannot firmly believe, as long as he doubts himself, there will be a flaw in his Taoism from then on.

Zhang Zhixiang's eyes suddenly turned sharp.

He looked at Wan Xing, this man kept talking about the Dharma, and the treasures he said were solemn, but everything he said was like the Five Fingers Mountain that the Tathagata Buddha pressed on Sun Wukong, making the world breathless!
This is your Dharma?
Demons in cassocks in the Dharma-ending Era!
Zhang Zhixiang suddenly became calm and full of oppression, so that the audience did not dare to make any mistakes, paused their questioning eyes, and listened to how he argued.

"You say that the blessings of all living beings are poor, and it is the cause and effect of me destroying all living beings, so that all living beings are so miserable?"

"Yes."

"But you are wrong."

"Where did it go wrong?"

"It's a big mistake if it doesn't fit the three seals."

Three seals?
When Zhang Zhixiang mentioned this, everyone began to think about it.

There are three Dharma seals in Buddhism, which are "all things are impermanent", "all dharmas have no self", and "Nirvana is still". The three Dharma seals are the foundation of all Buddhist teachings.

Only what conforms to the Three Dharma Seals is the Dharma, and what does not conform to the Three Dharma Seals, even if it comes from the mouth of the Buddha, is not Dharma.

Wan Xing's eyes became deep in an instant. He stared at Zhang Zhixiang, hesitating deep in his heart. He wondered whether he should take up the topic of Zhang Zhixiang. Zhang Zhixiang is a Taoist priest, so he can really argue against him in terms of Buddhism?

But the theory of the Three Dharma Seals cannot be avoided by any monk.

Otherwise it will look unreasonable...

Wan Xing drooped his eyelids, straightened his thoughts, and said, "Since your Excellency says I was wrong, then point out where I am wrong."

Zhang Zhixiang said: "Let me first talk about the Three Dharma Seals for the public to listen to."

Wan Xing's eyelids twitched, and he saw that the public was very interested. It's not that they don't know the Three Dharma Seals, but just like the four elements are empty, the Buddhists themselves say that these are covered by clouds and fog, and only Zhang Zhixiang explained clearly the four elements are empty.

They really wanted to hear Zhang Zhixiang explain the three seals clearly.

Half of the people in Annan are Buddhist believers. They have simple beliefs and a sincere desire to learn about Buddhism. This is also the key to Zhang Zhixiang's victory.

The law is not clear.

Wan Xing, since you want to use the prejudices of the human heart as the foundation of your Dharma, then I will directly start with the prejudices!All prejudices are nothing but shackles instilled by you foolish people!

Just watch me overthrow Wuzhishan in people's hearts!
