First Empress Merchant

Chapter 227: Master Xuanji (2)
Lu Lishi led Master Xuanji to sit in a gazebo not far away, and waited until he poured him a cup of tea before he said: "Master, the scriptures you lectured today advocated Hinayana Buddhism? Believers vaguely remember Some time ago, when I went to your monastery to invite the master, the master taught the Lotus Sutra. The believers knew that the Lotus Sutra used the Hinayana as an example to promote the Mahayana. Therefore, the believers thought that the master practiced Mahayana Buddhism. Now the believers are really a little bit Confused."

Master Xuanji smiled slightly, "The little benefactor is right. What the poor monk is talking about today is indeed Hinayana Buddhism. When he talked about Mahayana Buddhism and Theravada Buddha, what does the little benefactor think is the difference between the two?"

Lu Lishi replied: "Believers believe that the purpose of practicing Hinayana Buddhism is to become an arhat, attain nirvana without residue, and reincarnate in life and death; Mahayana Buddhism is to practice becoming a Buddha, and after becoming a Buddha, you can save sentient beings in the future. In short In other words, the Hinayana crosses oneself, and the Mahayana crosses others."

Master Xuanji laughed again: "'Hinayana crosses oneself, Mahayana crosses people', these words are very appropriate, the little benefactor is indeed a person with wisdom roots. It is true that the poor monk is practicing Mahayana Buddhism, but the reason why he can teach Hinayana Buddhism today , because the poor monk believes that although the Mahayana Buddhism is the sublimation of the Hinayana Buddhism, and there would be no Mahayana without the Hinayana, all living beings are equal, and we cannot blindly promote it just because the poor monk practices the Mahayana. Furthermore, the Dharma It is always to teach believers to practice through the "six perfections" of bodhisattvas, that is, giving, keeping precepts, patience, diligence, meditation, and wisdom, so that they can achieve great enlightenment. What does the benefactor think?"

Lu Lishi clasped his hands together, "The mage is a wise man with great compassion. Listening to the mage's words, believers will benefit a lot."

Master Xuanji glanced at her and said, "Did the little benefactor really understand, or did he just say it casually?"

Lu Lishi was stunned when she heard this, and looked back at him for a long time before asking, "Why did the mage say that? Please speak bluntly, the mage."

She has seen someone who speaks directly, but she has never seen such a direct one. She can understand what he said, but she thinks he must mean something else, right?It's just that she really didn't react for a while.

Master Xuanji said: "That day the little benefactor came to ask the poor monk a question, but now he has found the answer?"

Lu Lishi was stunned, opened her lips slightly, hesitated for a moment before smiling a little bit ashamedly, "To tell you the truth, these days, Xinnv can't sleep all night, just thinking about this problem, but still can't find it." For the answer, I hope the mage will not hesitate to mention one or two points."

Recalling the scene that day, she drove for a long time to ask the master to give a lecture, and happened to meet him explaining the scriptures to the believers. She was fascinated by listening to it. To be honest, on the way from the capital to the northwest , whenever she sees a temple, no matter how urgent or difficult she is, she will get up early to listen to the masters' morning lectures. Go, they won't drive you out no matter whether you add sesame oil or not, and some will even give you two steamed buns, a bowl of porridge or something.

So for these masters she met, um, or met at this predestined time, she went again the day after Daoming's request was rejected, and unexpectedly reported the problems she and Zhou Yang were facing to him. He asked for advice, and his answer at that time was that emotional matters cannot be explained clearly in a few words, and it can be explained clearly. Apart from himself, even people who have been watching beside him can't appreciate the various tastes in it. So what to do, she has to figure it out by herself.

Hey, if it weren't for the problem, she wouldn't be asking the gods to ask the Buddha if it wasn't?The fact is that she hasn't been able to find the best answer until now. Although she should be busy during the day, but at night... Hey, when I think of the little things between her and Zhou Yang, I think of the relationship between them. In Chi Guoguo's reality, she didn't know how many nights she had suffered from insomnia.

Master Xuanji looked at her expression, and asked again: "Does the little benefactor believe in fate?"

Lu Lishi nodded, "Of course I believe it. Parents, siblings, husbands and wives, children and grandchildren, Buddhism has something to say, being able to get acquainted, and getting to know each other are all predestined, but this predestined relationship also has evil predestined relationship, isn't it?"

In fact, it does not specifically refer to her and Zhou Yang, such as Bai Lianwei and the Bai family, such as Liu Shi and Adie, such as her and Yuan Zeyu, how can it not be regarded as a kind of evil relationship?
Master Xuanji shook his head and chuckled, "Since the little benefactor believes in fate, he must believe in the causal cycle of the three realms of sentient beings. Whether this fate is good or bad, the little benefactor can calm down and think about it. Anything without a cause has no effect. According to my Buddha If you don't take that step, will it really turn into the evil fate that the little benefactor said in the end?"

Hearing this, Lu Lishi fell silent.

Who said otherwise? If Bai Lianwei hadn't insisted on marrying Father, she and Bai Lianrui might not have been treated like that by the Bai family; if Liu hadn't insisted on continuing to marry Father, they wouldn't have ended up where they are today. If that Lu Lishi married Yuan Zeyu back then, or if she hadn't resolutely left Yuan's house, then nothing would happen to her.Hey, the so-called origin and extinction really go back to the day when we first met.

But she and Zhou Yang...maybe really answered the sentence that the bystander is clear and the person involved is confused. She just can't make a decision, whether it is to separate or continue to be together, she still can't pass her own test, because if it was before She can act as if nothing happened to the Lu Lishi in front of her, but the problem is that when he did that, "Lu Lishi" was already her, so how could she face a person who almost killed her indirectly, as if nothing had happened?

That's right, what was mentioned in Shibo's letter was exactly about Zhou Yang finding a reason to send him back to his hometown when he was in Lu's mansion that day when Shibo planned to stand up for her, so if she hadn't ordered her to Big and ruthless, he was either smeared by that stinky alchemist, or played to death by Liu Shi, and what are the possible consequences of the two?She thought that as long as her thoughts were not firm at all, she would definitely follow in Lu Lishi's footsteps again, right?

Although... Afterwards, he was the one who asked their family to come here, he was the one who gave them the house, he was the one who gave her money to do business, and then he captured her heart step by step, but now she is not sure what he is Did he really like her, or was it for some other purpose, such as the real reason that led to the downfall of the Lu family.

She didn't believe that he didn't know that Uncle Shi wrote a letter to tell her what happened. Even if he really didn't know, Situ would definitely tell him about her abnormality after reading the letter. Can't find something?And he wrote a letter to her the next day, but there was no mention of this matter in those letters, and he didn't even ask a question. This is enough to prove that he actually understands everything, and at the same time, he is letting her choose. their future.

Hey, it’s not that she doesn’t have that self-confidence, but she doesn’t dare to bet, as she thought after reading the letter, if she gives up, she may never find a man who understands her better than him; if she continues, she is worried about what he has done Everything is just to get what he wants, so she is doomed to be a loser, and she loses completely.
