I!The Many Treasures Tathagata

Chapter 82 Differences in Ideas

The demon heretics were all dumbfounded. Their dreams of becoming Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, Dapin Tianxian Jue, and Tian Yao Jue have all woken up at this moment.

Looking at the golden arhats all over the sky, they never thought that Shaolin Zen would be so powerful.

Hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals were defeated, and they were naturally even less likely to be opponents of Buddhism.

Escaping and unable to escape, one by one could only stay in place, bowing their heads and waiting to be dealt with, extremely docile.

The arrogance of setting fire to the temple before was completely gone.

Xiaobai and Xiaoqing were also stunned.

They didn't expect the situation to reverse so quickly, and they didn't even have time to escape.

Bai Suzhen put away the ten formation flags, and Fa Hai's embarrassed figure came out from the formation.

"Brother, kill all these demons and heretics!"

Fa Hai said to Bodhidharma angrily, his face was full of murderous intent.

When Duobao cultivated Fahai, he deliberately cultivated in this aspect.

Fa Hai has a very murderous nature. Basically, in front of his eyes, anyone who does not obey the Buddha's teachings, whether they are gods in heaven or ghosts in hell, can be killed.

After hearing Fa Hai's words, Bodhidharma looked hesitant.

He is not as murderous as Fa Hai.

"Namo Many Treasures Tathagata Buddha!"

"My Buddha is merciful, Shaolin didn't suffer much loss this time, why not give them another chance."

"Let the knife cut down and become a Buddha."

"As long as you practice Buddhism in my Shaolin retreat and do more good deeds, you can leave freely when the hostility in your chest is eliminated and your sins and karma are eliminated."

Bodhidharma recited a Buddha's name, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said.

"Brother, how can you let it go so easily."

"If you don't punish severely, then everyone will dare to violate Shaolin Chan sect in the future."

"It's better to kill them all as a punishment."

"The quiet place of Buddhism is not a place where filth is hidden, and not all evil spirits and heretics can come."

"Wrong is wrong, right is right."

"Only by doing good for ten or a hundred lives can one become a Buddha, but if one does evil, as long as one puts down the butcher's knife, one can immediately become a Buddha."

"What's the reason? Isn't everyone in the world going to do evil?"

Hearing this, Fa Hai frowned and said, feeling a little dissatisfied with Bodhidharma's pedantry.

Similarly, after listening to Fa Hai's words, Bodhidharma also disapproved of Fa Hai's strong murderous nature.

There is no right or wrong between the two of them, but their starting points are different.

One is to believe that human nature is inherently good, and to use benevolence to educate and guide all living beings.

One is that human nature is inherently evil, and they want to use the law to warn and restrain all living beings.

When Duobao taught them separately with avatars, he intentionally magnified their different personalities and ideas.

After all, there are eight schools of Buddhism, each with a different philosophy.

Bodhidharma is suitable for Zen Buddhism, while Fahai is for Vinaya Buddhism.

In the future, they will preach according to their own abilities. As long as there is no armed struggle, the competition in ideas is a good thing, and it will allow them to make progress together.

In the end, no matter who wins or loses, the benefits will all fall into Duobao's hands.

In addition to Bodhidharma and Fahai, Duobao's teachings on the Eighteen Arhats who subdue dragons and subdue tigers are also different.

Subduing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger were preparations for Tiantai Sect and Huayan Sect.

They didn't agree with Bodhidharma and Fahai's views, and felt that these two people were too biased and extreme, and they were not harmonious enough.

Duobao's method of teaching without discrimination is not only to prepare for the preaching of Buddhism, but also to gain experience in advance for the later Confucianism to establish and accept disciples.

Now it is the Spring and Autumn Period, and after a while, it will be time for Confucianism to be established.

There are three thousand disciples of Confucianism, and there are no distinctions in teaching, each of which is different.

In this respect, it is in the same continuous line as Jujiao.

Duobao secretly revived Jiejiao, and planned to start with Confucianism.

Just like there are eight sects of Buddhism, if you want to revive Jiejiao, you are not limited to the name of Jiejiao.

It is entirely possible to separate several branches under the Jiejiao sect.

Confucianism is one of them. It not only inherits some of the ideas that are cut off from religion, but also discards some of the ideas that are not recognized.

Duobao does not intend to completely copy the Confucianism of the previous life. He will combine the concept of cutting religion and the modern concept of the previous life to establish a brand new Confucianism.

Confucianism that truly "establishes the heart for the heaven and the earth, establishes the life for the living and the people, inherits the unique learning for the sages, and creates peace for all generations".

The benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust originally advocated by Confucianism are necessary, as are the concepts of "prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, and justice". , the legal system, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness" and other 24-character mantras.

In the end, a beautiful world of "everything is beautiful, beauty is beautiful, beauty is shared, and the world is united" will be formed.

Duobao himself is very interested in these concepts, has a lot of feelings, and integrates them. The theoretical framework of New Confucianism has generally been formed.

However, the establishment of Confucianism still needs an opportunity.

"Senior Brother Bodhidharma, Junior Brother Fahai, please stop arguing, lest outsiders see the joke."

"In my opinion, it's better to take a step back and punish the culprit. The rest will be imprisoned for self-reflection. What do you think?"

Jianglong said, he's not in harmony with each other, his Buddhist philosophy is like this, harmoniously integrated.

"Only punish the chief evil..."

Hearing this, Fa Hai frowned tightly. According to his original intention, he definitely didn't want to let it go. These sinful enemies should be killed.

It's just that he considered that this is Shaolin after all, and it's Bodhidharma's home field.

It's not good for him to be too anti-client, so after hearing Jiang Long's words, he finally nodded unwillingly in agreement.

"The culprit refers to..." Bodhidharma asked.

Hearing the words, Jianglong scanned all the demons and heretics, and everyone who was caught by his eyes tensed up.

"The culprit should be the three of them."

Jianglong pointed to Xiaobai, Xiaoqing and the tiger demon.

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were quite calm when they heard the words, but the tiger demon was so frightened that his crotch was wet.

The two groups trembled with trembling, and they were a little weak to stand up.

After all, there is only one demon life, and he is very aware of how many evil things he has done in order to practice on weekdays.

If the body dies, even if the soul is not scattered and enters the underworld, it is estimated that there will be no next life.

Upon hearing this, Bodhidharma looked at Bai Suzhen and the three of them.

It's just that the tiger demon was nothing more than that, his whole body was full of black energy. Obviously, he had committed many murders on weekdays, and he would not be wronged if he really wanted to kill him.

But those two snake demons were full of aura, without a trace of black energy karma, and even vaguely had the light of merit.

"These two female benefactors have never done anything evil in their daily lives, and they still have merits and virtues. I think there is some misunderstanding this time, so they stand on the opposite side of Shaolin."

"Buddhism is merciful and saves all living beings, so it's better not to do more evil."

Bodhidharma knew that his words offended Fahai and Jianglong, but he still rejected Jianglong's proposal considering that it was three demon lives after all.

"Haven't done any evil, and gained a little merit, can you do anything reckless against my Buddhist sect?"

"If Shizun didn't send people to support this time, Shaolin Zen would have been destroyed in their hands. Is this a misunderstanding that can be explained clearly?"

"If senior brother is worried that if he kills them, he will suffer the backlash of merit, then I will kill them!"

Fa Hai said coldly, looking at Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing with murderous eyes.

"No, people are good and evil, and monsters are good and bad, how can we kill them all at once," Bodhidharma said to Fa Hai sincerely, he really wanted to persuade Fa Hai with reason.

But Fahai is also a person with firm beliefs, so how could he be persuaded so easily.
