Bu Yan lowered his voice and said, "Donor Li, I have done my best."

Li Qingcha nodded.

"It's normal that there's no winner in a debate. Everybody knows that 'there's no first in literature and no second in martial arts'."

"Donor Li, are you ready to ask questions?"

"Well, I wanted to talk about the Seven Places of Conquest, but I wasn't really listening."

No words:  ̄□ ̄||

The Seven Places to Investigate the Mind is an allusion from the Shurangama Sutra. Only Li Qingcha could dare to ask without even listening.

He estimated that Jise might have died a miserable death.

Li Qingcha and another demon tribe member were waiting to ask questions, and they rushed to speak.

"Master, the beginning of the Shurangama Sutra has seven places to search for the mind. May I ask where the mind is?"

goo...

Jise swallowed his saliva.

He had been tormented by Li Qingcha yesterday, so he was naturally nervous at this moment, so he said, "Where is your heart? If you say it, you are wrong, but if you don't say it, you are also right."

This answer is very pleasing.

With this being the case, it would be impossible for a debate to determine the winner.

Li Qingcha was disdainful.

"Oh, the master really likes to talk about nothingness and wonders."

"This has nothing to do with 'talking about emptiness and wonders'. Buddhism is broad and profound. If the donor has the desire to seek the truth, he will not care about the appearance."

Jise just gave up immediately.

This is so meow...

It's pure hooliganism!

If you are interested, you may look for the story of the Seven Places to Search for the Mind and think for yourself whether the logic of Buddha's statement is rigorous.

Chapter 540 Biological Clock

The mind is inside the body, the mind is outside the body, the mind is latent in the roots, the mind is between light and darkness inside and outside, the mind is in whatever is combined, the mind is in the roots and dust, the mind is in the place where there is no attachment,

This is the seven places to search for the mind.

Of course, these seven views were all denied by the Buddha.

It seems mysterious and profound, but as long as you have a good foundation in classical Chinese, you will be able to understand the "Yan Leng Sutra".

At least the literal meaning is understandable.

Jise said, "Donor Li, you must not be attached to appearances."

Play badly, then blame others.

It's quite rogue.

No matter how powerful a predator is, it is impossible for it to attack a turtle that has shrunk into its shell, unless it smashes the shell to pieces.

Li Qingcha pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Master, you said that the Shurangama Sutra is the wisdom of the Buddha, which is beyond the learning and knowledge of the world today?"

Jise was startled and thought about whether there was anything wrong with this sentence.

But after all, it has been said, and it cannot be undone.

He nodded,

"Yes."

"How does it compare to the Taoist classics? How does it compare to the Book of Changes?"

"Donor Li, the Book of Changes is a classic about change, and the Taoist classics talk about the laws of heaven. All these changes and laws are manifested in the wonderful and bright true mind, and this wonderful and bright true mind that manifests everything..."

The implication is obvious.

The so-called "wonderful and bright true mind" is only mentioned in the "Lingyun Sutra".

Ha! I took the bait.

Li Qingcha couldn't help but sniff.

Yujun and Chi Weili had been paying attention to her, and of course they noticed the cunning flash in her eyes.

"Jise is going to be in trouble."

"Jise is going to be in trouble."

The two even muttered to themselves in unison.

They looked at each other, then looked away.

Li Qingcha said, "Master, Miaoming is really distressing... I have been troubled by this recently, even today, and it was very obvious when I got up."

The demon people were all confused.

What the hell is this guy talking about?

do not understand at all.

Li Qingcha smiled.

"You may not know that ever since I arrived in the Holy Land, getting up every day has been a torture, because when I wake up, the sky is still pitch black. So I came up with an idea that my heart guides me to get up, and it will not be determined by the time of daybreak outside. This is the heart in the body."

She talked about the jet lag issue that she had discussed with Gong Lianxue this morning.

As soon as the words fell, someone in the distance immediately echoed,

"Me too!"

The one who spoke was a member of the demon delegation.

Then someone refuted,

"No, no, it should be that the mind is outside the body. Think about it, when we first arrived in the human capital, was it already bright when we got up every day?"

"Doesn't this just prove that the heart is within the body?"

"Listen to me! Think about it, have we adapted to the outside world? If we can adapt to the outside world, it means our mind is outside the body."

"But now that we're back in Bulun, why are the waking hours becoming weird again?"

"This……"

……

A bunch of people joined the discussion. At first they were speaking Chinese, but later they even switched to the demon language.

The sudden change made Jise a little confused.

what's the situation! ?

Miaojue nodded slowly.

"Mr. Li's example is indeed interesting, but as long as you have a thorough understanding of the Seven Places of Conquering the Mind, you will realize that the question just now is not difficult to answer."

indeed,

When the Buddha denied the seven-point mind search, he gave a lot of counter-examples.

If there are counter-examples, it can naturally be proved that the heart is not in those seven places, so that in the end it is impossible to give the answer to "Where is the heart?", which is infinitely close to nihilism.

Li Qingcha chuckled.

"That's why I don't like to talk about these mysterious things, because I have to use analogies and examples frequently, and these two things never have a causal necessity in the debate."

Wonderful contemplation,

"What is meant by 'causal necessity'?"

"If you know the cause, you will definitely get the result. This is the inevitability of cause and effect."

"Donor Li said that citing counterexamples cannot provide causal necessity for negation? This statement... hehe... is shocking."

"Then I would like to ask Master Miaojue, does the existence of inevitability mean persuasiveness, and does the absence of inevitability mean no persuasiveness?"

Miaojue was stunned for a moment, and then beads of sweat shone on his bald forehead.

He understood what Li Qingcha wanted to say.

Persuasion is a psychological effect.

If cause and effect are inevitable, they are often convincing, but not 100%.

goo...

Miaojue swallowed his saliva.

Li Qingcha's remarks are equivalent to tearing down the foundations of countless Buddhist scriptures.

For example, the "Yan Leng Sutra" contains so many analogies and examples that I am afraid the whole book will be ruined.

Everyone around was lost in thought.

Li Qingcha sighed.

"I often feel out of tune with you because of my very precise way of thinking."

Chi Weili rolled his eyes at her.

"Go! What's there to be proud of?"

"I mean what I said."

"..."

cheeky!

The girl was too lazy to complain anymore.

Li Qingcha chuckled and looked at Ji Se on the platform.

At this time, Jise had regained his composure, and still based on the story of the seven places to search for the mind, he said: "Donors, don't the examples you cited just show that the mind is neither inside the body nor outside the body?"

Everyone suddenly realized,

"Yes, this just proves the correctness of the Shurangama Sutra."

"Tsk... I almost got fooled."

"The human race is indeed cunning, especially Li Qingcha."

……

In Jise's view, things are gradually getting back on track.

Logically speaking, he should strike while the iron is hot and ask Li Qingcha, "Does Mr. Li understand?"

But he just couldn't say it.

After several rounds of fighting, I'm already scared.

Li Qingcha certainly would not give him a chance to escape, and said: "So, Master Jise, where is your heart?"

Jise was suddenly overwhelmed.

He gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Li?"

"Me? I don't even know what the 'heart' in the Śūraṅgama Sutra is talking about, because when the Buddha answered, he sometimes compared it to vision, and sometimes to touch. The analogies were inconsistent, and he kept changing the subject. How could I know what it was?"

In a word, it gets to the heart of the matter.

Ji Se's face changed drastically, because Li Qingcha was going to tear down the entire Buddhist sect.

"Master Li, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Hey... don't get excited. I'm just expressing my own thoughts. The more we debate, the clearer it becomes. You have to allow me to speak, right?"

"Let's go back to the question just now. Where do you think the heart is, Mr. Li?"

When Ji Se asked this question, Li Qingcha knew that the other party had lost his composure.
