The head of urban peach blossom

Chapter 1034 The scriptures are not written like this...

"This……"

"It is impossible for them, and they will never be able to reach your level. There are so many monks in the world, only you have the belief to go to the west to learn scriptures.

And they killed you, they escaped into Buddhism, and sincerely turned to Buddha, but would they go to the west to learn scriptures?Or, do you think they can retrieve the scriptures? "

"This one……"

It was difficult for Tang Seng to answer.

"To take another simple example, a person who has made great contributions to the country, a powerful person who can make the people of the world live a stable life, walked to the river, and a drunkard who had nothing to do fell into the river.

So the powerful man jumped into the river without hesitation to save the alcoholic. In the end, the alcoholic was rescued, and he continued to drink and do nothing all day long.

But this mighty one sacrificed himself to save others and drowned himself.

Then, Brother Seng, if this incident can happen again, from your point of view, should this alcoholic be rescued? "

This is Hua Xiaolou playing tricks on Tang Seng.

Because he has already guessed Tang Seng's answer, and based on the idea of ​​my Buddha's compassion, he will definitely say——

"Amitabha, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Although the other party is just a drunkard, it is still a life. How can you refuse to save it?"

"Haha, I guessed you would say that."

Hua Xiaolou laughed out loud.

Then he lowered his face and said: "But Brother Seng, what I said just now is that the incident will happen again, that is to say, you clearly knew that this mighty man would drown if he went to the river to save the alcoholic, so what happened?
As a result, you ignored his life, and only noticed a parasite-like tablet, your so-called life..."

When Chang'e heard these words, she secretly laughed at Hua Xiaolou's thoughts, but at the same time, she realized something from this seemingly deliberately distorted case.

In fact, this is not Hua Xiaolou's sentiment, but some jokes that were played badly by netizens before.

However, such a joke made Tang Seng break out in cold sweat and opened his mouth, not knowing how to argue.

"This...this face, let the poor monk take a look, read the scriptures..."

Tang Seng really started to read the scriptures, trying to find answers.

He was indeed fooled by Hua Xiaolou.

This answer really made it difficult for him to answer.To save a drunkard is to disregard the life of the Almighty.

Wouldn't it be contrary to the philosophy of Buddhism to not save people and see death but not save them?

"Okay, Brother Seng, you will never find such an answer in the Buddhist scriptures. In fact, the truth is very simple. Life is equal, which is true.

However, you exaggerate it infinitely and ignore other things.

That is the value of life.

In your eyes, or in your life, your thoughts have actually been imprisoned. All your words and deeds, world outlook, and attitudes towards others are all derived from your so-called scriptures.

It's not that the scriptures are wrong, but you are a monk and a human being, and you must know how to adapt.

If our ancestors didn't know how to change things, they still live in the jungle, take food from the mouth of wild animals, and wear bark.

By the way, even words have not been created... Then, where do you get scriptures to read?
This is derived from the progress of thought, the flexibility and development of ideas.You stubbornly hold on to your ideas, and look at the world with your eyes, or the ideas of the scriptures.

You say that all living beings are equal, but are all living beings equal?Perhaps, you will say, this is the reason why you want to learn the truth, you want to make life equal.

But is the world really equal? "

Tang Seng was unable to answer the question, and stared at Hua Xiaolou dumbfounded.

No one has ever talked to him about these great principles.

He was unknown before, and no one talked to him.

He became an eminent monk, and no one talked to him.

But now, Hua Xiaolou said it. These remarks had a huge impact on Tang Seng.

"Is my mind really imprisoned? I just want the world to be peaceful and everyone is good. Is there something wrong? But... But why do I always feel that something is wrong when I hear these words?"

Tang Seng's thoughts were a little confused.

"Brother Seng, just now I mentioned the values, which is actually the story of the powerful person I mentioned earlier, who went to save an alcoholic.

This case is a good illustration of values.

A powerful person, he can benefit the common people in the world and let countless people live a stable and peaceful life.

In the end, just to save a guy like a parasite, he died.

As a result, countless people fell into dire straits again... Do you think his death is meaningful?Is it valuable?

You only want to influence people, maybe you spent your whole life influencing a person and persuading him to be kind.

But you can actually save more people, but you waste time on one person.

Do you think your life like this is worthwhile?

In other words, if you don't like it, in the eyes of the world, you will also become a worthless person, a person who is wasting time.

Who cares what you do?

Of course, Brother Seng, you are also aware of this problem, so you go to get the scriptures and want to convert everyone.

However, your goal is to learn the truth, but you are on the way halfway, and sometimes you want to save this one, and then you want to save that one, so may I ask, does this mean that your will is not firm at all?

You don't care about getting the truth at all? "

"No, that's not the case..."

Tang Seng hurriedly said: "The poor monk has infinite piety and expectations for traveling west to learn Buddhist scriptures, but..."

"But at the same time, you feel like if you see someone in distress and you can't help them, what's the point of taking the truth? Right?

You clearly know that a villain whose existence threatens the lives of 1000 people, 1 people, or even more people, you still hope that he lives because you hope that he will be good.

Let's put it this way, even if this wicked person, after your conversion, he becomes good.But in the process, he killed hundreds more people, so may I ask, are you also responsible for half of the lives of these hundreds of people? "

"Poor monk..."

Tang Seng was speechless.

"This is what you can't explain. A wicked person, if you kill him in time, you can save thousands of lives. But in the end, because of you, your so-called compassion, let him live.

As a result, he continued to kill people... Then these people who died innocently later, you, Brother Seng, are the accomplices! "

"It's not like that, the scriptures don't write like this..."

Tang Seng flipped through the scriptures hastily.

"Look, I said that you have been imprisoned by the scriptures. In fact, the scriptures can only be a fishing net. You have it, but it doesn't mean you have everything. You have to learn to cast your own net to fish.

Besides, all living beings are equal.For example, if you see a tiger eating a sheep, you will definitely sympathize with the sheep.

But have you ever thought about the tiger?If it doesn't eat sheep or meat, it will starve to death.Then who will sympathize with its death?
The way of heaven is actually fair, all things are born and restrained by each other, if you want to forcibly break this rule, then the world will be in chaos..."
