Dominating the Otherworld Starting with a Snake

His voice reached Dong Chen's ears, and the latter looked at him.

Dong Chen slowly turned his head and looked at him, with a look of inquiry and doubt in his eyes, and asked softly: "I wonder...what do you think is wrong with Buddhism today?"

Luo Zhen's tone was somewhat sarcastic, "Isn't it obvious? There are too many."

He shook his head, a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes, "As you said, the current Buddhist community believes that only by believing in Buddha can one ascend to a higher realm. This is simply a one-man show! This approach is not only narrow-minded and hypocritical, but also extremely rogue.

Isn’t this typical Hinayana Buddhism? "

Dong Chen's expression suddenly became solemn. The smile on his lips seemed to be pinched by an invisible hand and froze in place, with surprise and confusion revealed between his brows.

"Hinayana? What kind of Buddhism is this?" These words seemed to stir up a huge wave in his heart.

The word "Hinayana" is simply unheard of, and the so-called Hinayana Buddhism is an entirely new concept.

In their eyes, Buddhism has been known for its profoundness and inclusiveness since ancient times, and it has stood in the fairy world for thousands of years. Some people even say that Buddha already existed when the fairy world was first opened, and Buddhism followed.

Although Dong Chen hated Buddhism, he had to admit that Buddhism was profound. But it was unbelievable that the man in front of him actually said that today's Buddhism was "Hinayana".

After noticing the confused looks from people around him, Luo Zhen couldn't help but be stunned.

"Don't you know what Hinayana Buddhism is?"

This question seems simple, and it is almost common sense and knowledge in the world he used to live in. The difference between the two could not be more obvious.

After looking around and finding that everyone looked confused, even Li Miaoer, who usually seemed confident, and Li Shier, who was taciturn but very perceptive, said they had never heard of it.

It seems that I need to take the time to explain it to them in detail, although he also "copied" this from Lang Shao, who started out selling abalone and then wrote about the emperor's uncle.

"Well, in that case... well, then I will briefly explain what Hinayana Buddhism is." Dong Chen was originally planning to continue on his way but was interrupted at this moment. After all, Dong Chen had obviously developed a strong interest and expressed his desire to learn more about this without any concealment.

"As for Buddha... According to what you said, the highest realm of Buddhism is to become a Buddha, but isn't this too monotonous? To summarize such a profound and elusive concept as Buddha into a so-called 'Buddha', and to believe that Buddha is Buddha and Buddha is Buddha, such logic sounds a bit far-fetched..." Luo Zhen spread his hands.

Donor, please continue!

There was a strange light flashing in Dong Chen's eyes, just like a playboy who often visited brothels and met his true love, his excitement was beyond words.

This look of yours makes people feel weird... Luo Zhen feels a little disgusted.

It was the first time that he had been stared at so passionately by someone other than the opposite sex.

So he cleared his throat and decided to continue his long speech: "Master Dong... May I ask, in your mind, what is the goal that Buddhist practitioners are pursuing at present?"

Of course, it is to follow the right path and eventually achieve Buddhahood!

"The Right Path to Buddhahood 1"

"Yes, you are pursuing the goal of becoming a Buddha through the right path, but in your eyes, the 'Buddha' mentioned here actually refers specifically to 'Buddha', right? But this is wrong."

Luo Zhen only listened to the general idea just now, and he realized that in this fairyland, Buddha is the most powerful and perfect form of existence in the entire Buddhist system.

At this moment, Dong Chen's eyes, which were hidden under his forehead that was almost reflective, narrowed slightly, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

But at this moment, he looked devout and asked for advice, "Please teach me, benefactor."

"But, benefactor, there is only Buddha on the top of the Buddha Peak now!" Dong Chen's eyes were full of shock. Although he was surprised by the other party's words, he still calmly pointed out the core of the problem.

Luo Zhen laughed upon hearing this, shook his head and sighed: "Oh, the so-called 'peak' you are talking about is Buddha? Your thinking is bound by your inherent ideas. In fact, to put it simply... Buddha cannot truly represent Buddhism. What can truly represent Buddhism is that all sentient beings under the heavens are Buddhas!"

These remarks were like thunder from the blue sky, and the hearts of everyone present exploded.

!!! ...

!!! ...

Dong Chen's expression became extremely strange, his eyes widened as big as copper bells, his mouth slightly open but unable to speak, his heart was in turmoil and he could not calm down.

Not only Dong Chen was greatly shocked, but even Li Twelve, who was originally standing aside wanting to watch the fun, Li Miaoer, who was usually innocent, lively and smiling, and Li Muyan, who always had a cold look and was serious, were all shocked.

"This, what this guy said is so absurd and outrageous..." Li Miaoer muttered softly, her tone containing both confusion and faint curiosity. She looked at the man with flickering eyes, as if trying to find some answers from him, but she also felt that what this guy said made sense.

Buddha is just a person, how can he represent Buddha?

That’s right, that’s right!

How can believing in one Buddha be called Mahayana Buddhism?
