Chapter 920 Xuanzang’s Broken Halberd
As soon as Bai Fan said it, the audience naturally stopped arguing about other issues, and Xuanzang would not lose his status for nothing and entangle a junior again.

"It's unfair for you to exterminate the Buddha and promote the Tao, just because there are some filthy and scumbags in Buddhism, it is unfair. May I ask if there are thousands of Taoism in the world, and there are no people who hide filth?
So the first question asked by the poor monk today is, what is a Buddha?What is Tao? "Xuanzang spoke first.

Hearing this question, Lingzhen laughed, isn't this a slap in the face?
"Most of the people present are not Buddhists and Taoists. If I use Buddhist and Taoist scriptures to explain what is Buddha and what is Tao, I am afraid that [-]% of them will not understand why. And if I use Buddhist and Taoist terms to explain, it will be a bit confusing. Explain your suspicions yourself.

The so-called Tao and Buddha should actually be the ultimate truths that adapt to all things in the world, and they should be able to explain to the world in the most simple and unpretentious language, otherwise it is nothing but empty talk.

I was born in Buddhism, and once again became a Taoist teacher at the age of 13. I have read Buddhist and Taoist classics over the years, but I understand a sentence-Buddha is Tao! "

What? ? ?The whole audience was in an uproar, this young man's tone was so loud, this is not a child's play, you put the whole school of others into it in one sentence, isn't it like scolding and swearing in the street?

"Zhuzi, Buddhism originated from Tianzhu in the Western Regions, and Taoism originated from the Central Plains. Buddhism and Taoism have different origins, but you are talking nonsense, where do you think this is?

Lan Tianhou, if your disciple is at this level, I think you should change, because fighting with a yellow-mouthed boy, even if you win, it will be boring. "A master from Mount Wutai said to Lingzhen and then to Bai Fanlang.

Most of the old monks have this attitude, thinking that the young people on the opposite side are messing around, but these words are heard by Xuanzang and Abbot Tanbei of Shaolin, but it is a stormy sea. A secret saying left by the Buddha is finally reappeared today .

And it reappears in the mouth of a young man who has read Buddhist and Taoist classics thoroughly. Could it be possible to unravel the secrets of Buddhism and Taoism today?
Xuanzang was faintly agitated at this time, but he also had an inexplicable fear. If unlocking this secret, would it be bad for himself and Buddhism?

After a long time, Xuanzang said, "Don't speak falsely in the battle of martial arts. Since you are also a monk, you should abide by the precepts. Monks don't tell lies. Everyone knows that Buddhism and Taoism are different. You say that Buddha is Tao, can you explain it?"

Lingzhen looked at Xuanzang for a while, then smiled and said: "You are really hypocritical, great monk. You clearly want to know the secret in your heart, but you just beat around the bush. It's okay to tell you, the Buddha is the way, not my nonsense.

I heard that you went west to learn Buddhist scriptures for many years. It should be because there is no original Mahayana Buddhist scriptures in the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty. , I have read all the Buddhist scriptures you have brought back this time, even the eminent monks’ translations.

Although I don't want to hit you like this, but the fact is, I'm afraid you have done a useless effort. "

Xuanzang was so excited by Lingzhen's words that he was about to vomit blood. This kid's mind is really powerful, but I don't believe it. Why do you have Mahayana Buddhist scriptures in your hands?Many Mahayana Buddhist scriptures are orphans. Could it be that you went to the Nalanda Temple in Tianzhu and stole the Buddhist collection?

"Why? Don't you believe me? You can choose a Buddhist scripture that Tang Dynasty doesn't have and try it out, and see if I can recite it?" Lingzhen said again.

"Master Xuanzang, Zhu Zi speaks nonsense, don't be deceived." Many old monks advised.

But the people around you don’t do it anymore, you ask others to answer the questions you ask, but now you dare not answer the questions you ask, and you still say you are talking nonsense?We see that this young man has a good way of speaking, and it doesn't look like a fake.

Xuanzang shook his head and said: "You don't need to say more, when I expose him, the truth will come to light."

Then he opened his mouth to Lingzhen and said, "My Buddha has handed down countless Mahayana sutras, so I will choose one "Amitabha Sutra" that I read in Nalanda Temple. I wonder if you know it?"

"Why is it so difficult? I finished reading it three years ago."

As he spoke, Lingzhen began to recite the Amitabha Sutra. What he recited was the translated version, while Xuanzang read Sanskrit. Of course, Xuanzang understood the meaning of the original work, and Xuanzang was the only one who could understand it. The more horrified I was, how could it be possible?What he memorized turned out to be an accurate translation?Even deeper than what I understand?
"How is it? I don't know if I have missed this Amitabha Sutra?" Lingzhen jokingly said, in his opinion, the master let him play to bully this monk. How many copies?I heard from the master that even some of them were lost in Tianzhu. To compete in this way is not to bully Xuanzang?

And knowing a lot of spiritual truths, I don’t want to study Sanskrit no matter what. Buddhism and Taoism belong to the same family.Maybe it is not as accurate as the Chinese version.

"You, what about the Shurangama Sutra on the Head of the Great Buddha? Have you read it?" Xuanzang gritted his teeth and published another copy.

Lingzhen smiled and quickly finished reciting.

"What about the "Sangha Zha Sutra" and "The Dawei Lighting Immortal Asking Questions Sutra"?"

Without exception, Lingzhen memorized them all.

Xuanzang and his breath became short of breath, anyone could see the monk's nervousness.

"The Tathagata's Majestic Wisdom and Brightness Entering the Realm of All Buddhas Sutra"!"

Lingzhen smiled, "What a great monk, you have studied extensively, no wonder these monks are headed by you."

"Why? Have you read this book too?" Xuanzang asked in surprise.

Then Ling Zhenzhen Lang Lang recited it, and Xuanzang stood on the spot blankly. This is a Buddhist scripture that has been lost in Tianzhu. With this supreme classic, he, how could he have read it?
As a disciple who has practiced Buddhism for decades, Xuanzang can naturally hear that the young man opposite him is not talking nonsense, but the Buddhist scriptures recited from his mouth are so full of great wisdom and wisdom, which makes people feel a sense of enlightenment. It's true, absolutely true.

The old monks around were also attracted by the scriptures of the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures in Lingzhen's mouth, and many people were fascinated by their admiration. For a while, a grand battle of martial arts turned into Lingzhen's one-man lecture on the scriptures Same.

Before Lingzhen finished reciting, Xuanzang suddenly stood up with a cry of surprise, and rushed towards Lingzhen like a madman.

"Say, how did you sneak into Tianzhu to steal the supreme treasure of Buddhism? You can't have so many classics. How did the last one, which was lost even in the Nalanda Temple in Tianzhu, come into your hands? It turned out that you stole it. Let's go, you thieves..."
