Da Feng: From copying golden entries to becoming an immortal in the mortal world

"What right does a disciple of the Imperial Observatory have to discuss Buddhist magic!"

"This is clearly a deliberate fabrication intended to denigrate Buddhism."

"Grandmaster Uncle! This person has arbitrarily made decisions about the distinction between Mahayana and Hinayana Buddhism, thus deceiving our Buddhist community. He cannot be let off lightly."

The monks outside the Sumeru Mustard Seed angrily rebuked Luo Chen and begged the Arhat of Salvation to exert pressure once again!

Theravada Buddhism was an unfamiliar term to the monks, one they had never heard of before.

This angered the monk, but also aroused his curiosity.

Upon hearing this, the Arhat Du'e's face darkened.

The seal on his right hand was still intact, and besides, he had no reason to make a move.

……

The golden bowl is located in the tiny world of Sumeru within a mustard seed.

"Young benefactor, you should be careful what you say..."

The old monk clasped his hands together, his face showing anger, and under the Bodhi tree, it moved without wind.

"Why is the master so angry? The problems within Buddhism have always existed. Do you think that if I don't speak out, these problems will remain hidden forever?"

"Four hundred years ago, do you know why Emperor Wuzong joined Confucianism and Taoism in suppressing Buddhism?"

Luo Chen's words stirred up the obsessive thoughts of Bodhisattva Wenyin.

He then added, "What was destroyed in the Central Plains was not Buddhism itself, but Theravada Buddhism and Theravada Buddhist teachings."

"The Hinayana Buddhism is confined to one school or sect, solely for the purpose of self-liberation and attaining enlightenment... May I ask the Master, why has no one ever attained the supreme enlightenment?"

The old monk clasped his hands together and patiently said, "Before the Buddha, for 723,680 years, no one had attained Buddhahood."

"For 3,491 years after the Buddha, no one attained Buddhahood."

"The Buddha is the Buddha; the world has Buddhas. Those who attain enlightenment later cannot become Buddhas!"

Luo Chen, having attained enlightenment, sighed and said, "This is why the master could only attain the Bodhisattva level, but not the supreme level."

"A fourth-rank ascetic monk must make a great vow. The greater the vow, the higher the rank. He can directly ascend to the second rank of Arhat or the first rank of Bodhisattva, but his rank cannot be changed."

"Since I know that the practice of Hinayana Buddhism only allows the Buddha to attain Buddhahood."

"Master, what reasons do you have for wanting me to enter the Buddhist order? You say I have a Buddhist heart, but I cannot become a Buddha. What use is having a Buddhist heart then?"

Luo Chen slowly stood up, ceasing his conversation with the old monk; his words carried a hint of pity:

"Why not change the name of Buddhism to Vajra Dharma, Arhat Dharma, or Bodhisattva Dharma? The Hinayana Buddhism cannot lead to Buddhahood, so why arrogantly call it Buddhism?"

Upon hearing this, everyone inside and outside the small world, except for the monks, clapped and cheered!

"A method that cannot lead to Buddhahood, yet it dares to promote Buddhism so blatantly!"

"No wonder Emperor Wuzong joined forces with Confucianists to suppress Buddhism; it turns out that the so-called Buddhist teachings were nothing but a deception!"

"Buddhism is truly inferior to Confucianism and Taoism; at least everyone has the opportunity to become a saint!"

Sitting in the shaded pavilion, Lin'an felt that Luo Chen's conversation with the old monk was too mysterious.

She seemed to understand a little bit, her peach blossom eyes sparkling with innocent curiosity as she asked the Arhat Du'e not far away.

"Master, Master, are you practicing the Arhat Dharma?"

At this moment, the Arhat Du'e looked unpleasant and was somewhat annoyed.

However, since Lin'an was the princess of the Great Feng Dynasty, and the other party's eyes showed no malice, it was just a simple, innocent question.

Du'e Luohan suppressed his anger towards Luo Chen and maintained Buddhist etiquette towards Lin'an: "This humble monk practices Buddhism, not the methods of an Arhat."

"Within Buddhism, there is only the Dharma."

Upon hearing this, Lin'an She placed her jade-like finger on her pointed chin and nodded her head as if she understood.

"Master! Master! I understand!"

"Is it because the Buddha didn't teach you the true Dharma, so you could only attain the Arhat level?"

At this moment, Huaiqing's phoenix eyes fell on Lin'an, and a faint hint of appreciation appeared in his gaze.

Lin'an noticed Huaiqing's gaze, and her sweet and charming face instantly turned smug. (Set this as your homepage to get daily updates on works like "Da Feng: From Copying Golden Entries to Immortal in the Mortal World.") Her alluring red lips... .

She stood tall with her back straight, her chest heaving, and she was in a cheerful mood.

[Hmph! Huaiqing, you actually have a moment when you admire this princess!]

Lin'an was completely unaware that Du'e Luohan's expression had become even more unpleasant than before.

She, however, looked delighted and shared her opinion: "Master, Master, I've heard that the Buddha is a supreme expert, he's incredibly powerful!"

Upon hearing this, the Arhat Du'e's expression softened slightly.

Immediately afterward, Lin'an excitedly added, "Master! Master! I've heard that the Buddha's status in Buddhism is the same as that of the emperors in the Central Plains!"

Is it true?

Du'e Luohan nodded slightly: "Within Buddhism, the Buddha holds a transcendent position and possesses the power to suppress even the most powerful beings."

Upon hearing this, Lin'an stood up from his chair, put his hands on his hips, and said with a smile, "Master! I finally understand why you can't learn the true Dharma."

"The Buddha is like the emperor of Buddhism. If the emperor does not pass away, the crown prince cannot succeed to the throne."

"Therefore, if the Buddha had not died, no one in Buddhism could have become a Buddha."

Lin'an glanced smugly at Huaiqing with her peach-blossom eyes, then said, "Master, Master, don't you think this makes sense?"

Consort Chen, who was standing nearby, immediately grabbed Lin'an's arm and forcefully pulled him to sit down: "Do you know what you're saying?"

"Who gave you the courage to utter such blasphemous words?"

Lin'an was severely criticized by Consort Chen on the spot, and Huaiqing's cold voice rang in her ears.

Inside, she was angry, trembling, and cold!

Lin'an, looking aggrieved, threw herself into Consort Chen's arms and said coquettishly, "Mother! I was wrong."

In contrast, the Arhat Du'e fell silent upon hearing this.

"Could it be that the Buddhism he practices is really just the path to becoming an Arhat?"

"As the only true Buddha in this world, wouldn't the Buddha have harbored selfish motives?"

A series of questions arose in the mind of the Arhat Du'e, and he began to waver.

……

"May I ask, young benefactor, what is Mahayana Buddhism?"

The old monk's breathing became rapid, his eyes were no longer devoid of desire, and his voice trembled noticeably.

Outside the arena, the Buddhist monks stared intently at Luo Chen, their breathing becoming rapid.

Luo Chen looked down at the old monk sitting under the Bodhi tree. He took a deep breath, about to exhale.

Suddenly, all the monks, including the old monk, gasped for breath.

Du'e Luohan suddenly stood up, wanting to stop Luo Chen from continuing.

Luo Chen's gaze was firm, and he wanted to tell the outside world as well!

His voice was like thunder, and under the golden glow of the keyword effect, every word he uttered carried an air of impartiality:

"The great vow of Mahayana Buddhism is that all sentient beings are Buddhas, and the true Buddha universally saves all beings to Buddhahood!"

"It is better for everyone to become a Buddha than for me to become a Buddha!"

"It's better if everyone becomes a dragon than if I alone become a dragon!"

In an instant, it was as if a bolt from the blue struck everyone's heart!

The old monk stood frozen in place, as if petrified, muttering to himself, "All sentient beings are Buddhas; the great vow of Mahayana Buddhism is for all beings to attain Buddhahood..."

Monk Jingchen muttered to himself, as if his life had been negated and his Buddhist heart had been greatly impacted:

"All sentient beings are Buddhas; it is better for everyone to become a Buddha than for one person to become a Buddha!"

"If it is Mahayana Buddhism, where all sentient beings are Buddhas, how could Confucianism suppress Buddhism?"

Suddenly, a monk went mad and tore off his robe.

The Buddha's heart is broken.

He charged into the crowd like a madman, his expression frenzied, and roared to the sky:

"Ha, ha ha ha! I practice Theravada Buddhism, I practice Theravada Buddhism!"

"The Buddha has misled me! The Buddha's attainment was that of a Hinayana Buddha!"

"If the Buddha attained enlightenment as a Mahayana Buddha, why didn't he allow others to become Buddhas?"

"He is a Mahayana Buddha!"

"He is the supreme Buddha among men!"
