Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 489: Chen’s Book: The Buddhist School Splits

Wang Yan was tired of hearing this. How could he not know what Le Qi was thinking? He waved his sleeves and said, "Stop talking about these things. Will I be deceived by your words? Just call Su Liao over and ask." .”

Le Qi smiled and said no more, but he knew very well that his words were not to deceive everyone in front of him, but to induce them. Moreover, Wang Yan's suggestion was exactly what he wanted.

Zhao Yuan still wanted to speak, but King Jiangdu immediately ordered Su Liao to come over and answer.

Su Liao just had a few words with the man and knew that it was Chen Zhi who had obtained the news about Chen Zi, so he made arrangements (see Chapter 476 for details) and sent someone to deliver the cloth bag and told him what was inside. .

There are three books in this bag.

"I didn't expect that the Lord also knew about the Buddhist commentary and made arrangements."

It happened that King Jiangdu sent someone to call him over. Before Su Liao could think about it, he was called over. Facing King Jiangdu, Su Liao was not very nervous, even though he knew that the person sitting in front of him was now in charge of the situation. He took most of the power in Luoyang.

After Su Liao saluted, King Jiangdu asked: "I would like to ask you, Zhao Yuan said that Chen Zhi only wrote two books and sent someone to deliver them. So aren't the ones in this general outline all painting cakes? Is this what I want to ask you? Those who know Mr. Chen’s ability do not believe that he would come up with such a strategy. It is just a volume of the general outline of CNOOC Buddhism. There are many people in the world who talk about Buddhism, but some of the best among them are here at the moment. Could it be that Mr. Chen feels that his Buddhist attainments are , can it compare to a mage who has been immersed in it for decades?”

Su Liao just shook his head and said: "How accomplished the Lord is, I don't dare to lie."

"You refuse to speak up. This is a sign of your respect." King Jiangdu frowned, but still nodded in praise, "It's easy to compare. Isn't there Buddhist theory in the Tongdian? Since Chen Taishou has listed the outline , there must be a manuscript, even if it is not written into a book, but as long as I bring the manuscript for you to take a look, you will understand, and I will not embarrass you. After the Buddha comments..."

Su Liao heard the implication and said quickly: "The volume of Buddhist treatises written by my master has been written and is here. There is no need to trouble the king to send anyone."

King Jiangdu suddenly shut up and stared at Su Liao for a long time, then his eyes fell on the cloth bag in his hand.

Su Liao quickly untied the cloth bag, and the top one was the volume on Buddhism. He couldn't help but secretly thought that this seemingly coincidental thing was the result of intelligence and calculations. The Lord sent three volumes, probably I am not sure what the current Buddhist commentary will evolve into. However, I put this Buddhist treatise at the top because I probably feel that this book is more needed.

Noticing the gazes of several people around him, Su Liao did not have time to think carefully about why Chen Zhi was able to write three more books so quickly, so he presented the Buddhist treatise scroll to King Jiangdu.

"Here is the Buddhist treatise!"

The prince took the book, but couldn't help but glance at the other two books in the cloth bag, but he could only vaguely see the word "子", which was covered by Su Liao.

Su Liao's words were not only meant for King Jiangdu, but also for other people present. Wang Yan and others also heard it clearly, and immediately surrounded him.

At the same time, the five monks' expressions also changed slightly, and they came closer without caring about anything else.

This volume is about Buddhism.

"Is there really Floren?"

Le stood in the crowd and looked confused as he watched the people pass by.

In front of him, Monk Mingfa also looked stunned, looking at the figures walking past one by one, he didn't recover for a long time, but finally he shook his head and smiled.

Talking about the Buddha in front of the five monks, even if Chen Zhi can really write the wonderful meaning of Buddhism, it is useless, because the person who holds the authority to explain the Buddha's law is close in front of his eyes.

"This Buddhist treatise is different from the Dharma treatise. Firstly, it was transmitted from a foreign land. Secondly, it can be said to be profound. Thirdly, there are not many people who are proficient in it, so there is no way to judge it. If it is Chen Zhi's plan, I am afraid it will inevitably backfire."

After walking in, Wang Yan and others showed worried looks. They also felt that the timing of the appearance of the Buddhist treatise was too coincidental. As soon as it was mentioned over there, it appeared here, which inevitably made people feel that it had been there for a long time. Premeditated.

But no matter what everyone thinks, the focus at the moment still falls on the Buddhist treatise volume.

With the Dharma Treatise volume as a foundation, when they read this book again, their thoughts were no longer just for criticism, but also with a hint of expectation, wanting to know how Chen Zhi, this outstanding figure from China, would describe Buddhism.

Only Jiang Yi frowned, secretly thinking that Chen Zhi also wanted to support this Buddhism?
It was not that he was against Buddhism, he just felt that he should not use the power of the imperial court to promote foreign learning and disrupt the orthodox doctrine. Moreover, although the Buddhism was exquisite, the rules of Buddhism violated Chinese customs, which made Jiang Yi unhappy.

"Let's take a look first. If there is any omission, we will expose it on the spot!"

With this thought in mind, Jiang Yi also stepped forward.

King Jiangdu was also sensible. When he saw everyone gathered around and wanted to read it, he had an idea and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't be anxious. There are so many of you, but there is only one book. How can you read it separately? I have a proposal, how about you take a look?"

Seeing that everyone stopped, he continued: "Today is a commentary on Buddhism, but there have been many troubles in my life. I think it just so happens that Chen Taishou's book is also on Buddhism. Why don't I let someone read it out to the stage?" Listen to me, everyone, so that they don’t have to come here in vain, and besides, if there is any beauty in the public reading, a few mages can also explain it, how about it?” I’m afraid that the explanation is false and the criticism is false. real!
Everyone could clearly see the thoughts of King Jiangdu, but they also felt that this proposal was more realistic, so they all agreed. However, Jiang Yi was unhappy because he felt that this move was suspected of promoting foreign learning, and he knew very well that Luoyang was Among them, Chen Zhi has many admirers. If there is Chen Zhixuan Buddha, then this group of people will follow suit, which may have a greater influence than the original Buddhist theory.

"It's a pity that it's hard to disobey what everyone thinks. I'm afraid it won't be useful if I say anything. Anyway, I'll listen, find some loopholes, publicize it, and reduce the impact."

On the other side, the prince immediately found a scholar with a loud voice, asked him to hold the Buddhist treatise scroll, stand on the high platform, and read it to everyone.

Wang Yan and others were sitting upright, wondering whether this Buddhist treatise was from the same path as the Buddhist scriptures. The five monks all looked calm, looking forward to hearing what Chen Zhi, a famous scholar, thought about Buddhism. manner.

But the next breath, when the scribe read out the first sentence, the faces of the five monks suddenly changed.

"Buddha means enlightenment. Buddha means Gautama. Siddhartha is also called Sakyamuni. He is a sage who belongs to the Sakyamuni clan. Muni is also called a sage."

Wang Yan and others were stunned when they heard this. We are waiting to hear the wonderful meaning of Buddhist scriptures. Why did you just open your mouth and say such a paragraph?But when they tasted it, they realized it.

"Is this Jomo or something the Buddha?"

A few people looked at each other in blank dismay, but the audience in the audience looked dumbfounded, feeling that this opening was a bit weird.

While they were thinking about it, the scholar continued to read: "...At that time, there was a dispute among the kingdoms of India. There was a small country named Kapilavastu, and the leader of the country was King Suddhodana, who had a son, Siddhartha..."

The literati thought about it and felt that something was wrong. What was going on?Isn't the Buddha a high-level god?Why is there a prince in Chen Zhi's book?He's also good at both civil and military skills, and he's looking for a teacher to ask questions. This isn't the right rhythm.

"How can we let this person say it? If people listen to it like this, they will no longer fear the Buddha!" ​​The Buddha supporter in charge of Shouguang Temple couldn't help but stepped forward to stop him, but was stopped by the bhikkhu leader next to him. Tuo stopped.

"Please note that there is no mistake in this statement. The Buddha is a human being, not a god. Before his nirvana, he also said: Follow the Dharma and do not rely on other places. He warned us to believe in his Dharma and not to worship his people."

Fo Zhizuo frowned when he heard the words, and was about to refute, but after seeing the situation, he endured it.

When Fotuchen saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh. He knew that people in China now regard the Buddha as one family, thinking that the Buddhist family is all one, but they don't know that there are differences within the Buddhist family, just like this Buddha supporter and monk. Tuo, I have some views on the Buddha's distinction between humans and gods. However, Buddhism has not yet flourished. All methods are twisted into one, all for the purpose of promoting Buddhism.

"But such a hidden danger will eventually break out one day. I just hope that by then I, the Buddha, will shine brightly in the Middle Earth!"

The few monks were thinking about it, and the literati read a few more words, and the other people secretly clicked their tongues. They thought it was a fabrication, but seeing the expressions of the five monks, they knew that it might be true. Dado was meditating on the grass, thinking hard, and finally realized the enlightenment of Bodhi, and felt something interesting.

Later, I heard that the "Three Dharma Seals", "Four Noble Truths", "Eightfold Path", "Twelve Causes and Conditions", "Five Aggregates" and other Buddhist teachings were mentioned in the book, and they were briefly introduced in just a few words. I couldn't help but Let everyone marvel.

"This Buddha by Supervisor Chen is really interesting. It is different from what I have heard in the past, but it seems that he really understands Buddhism. What you said is exactly the same."

Amidst the discussion among the crowd, Nafo Zhizuo and the others frowned slightly.

The young mage Zhu Faqian whispered: "These teachings are the foundation of Buddhism, but they are ancient words. They have been carried forward by various mage masters and have new interpretations. Unexpectedly, donor Chen learned ancient methods."

But Fotucheng felt a little uneasy. There seemed to be a voice whispering in his ear, giving him the urge to step forward and stop the man from continuing to read.

But the old monk's concentration was so high that these distracting thoughts were dispelled in the blink of an eye. But then, he listened to the scholar read:

"A hundred years after Sakyamuni's Nirvana, Buddhism had a fundamental split and split into two schools, one was Theravada and the other was Samajaya. Both schools have their own Dharma and they are competing for the distinction between Buddha, man and God!"

As soon as these words came out, Fo Tucheng's expression changed drastically!
Immediately afterwards, the old monk stood up, clasped his hands together and said, "Don't fight, don't fight, I don't want to do this Buddhist commentary, and the poor monk will go back after this, and recite Buddhism and study the Dharma. Please don't recite it."

Others were in an uproar, but the old monk pretended not to hear and looked at King Jiangdu with his hands clasped together.

"This..." King Jiangdu hesitated immediately.

"There is no need for this." Then Zhu Faqian also stood up and put his hands together, "Master, if you speak to others, the Buddha will be enlightened."

When I heard the Buddha's picture clearly, I felt as if I had lost it.

　Thank you "Shen Dan Yang" for your reward!
