Chapter 334
But he chose to remain silent.

Seeing this, the old monk asked, "Where is the Buddha?"

Xuanjue looked around.

The old monk said: "You...I...what are you?"

Xuanjue hesitated for a moment, then stretched out two fingers.

The old monk was silent, bent down and said, "You are the Venerable."

Xuanjue smiled.

The old monk was about to leave.

Someone suddenly said: "Isn't this a monk from Dongdu Kingdom? They eat meat, what kind of monks are they!"

The old monk paused and left without saying anything.

Xuanjue also stepped down.

A monk came to the stage to preach the dangers of eating meat. He never mentioned the matter of the old monk.

The monk said: "Among all other crimes, the karma of killing is the most serious. No matter what you do, people and animals are the same. If you want to eat all living beings, first try cutting your body.

Death is a great suffering, who can not be afraid of it.But when you look at yourself, why eat other people's flesh.

Killing all living beings for profit, using money to net all flesh.Both have the karma of killing, and death is called prison. "

The monk said: "Everyone who loves sex and money is a shortcut to losing a person's life; drinking and eating meat every day is nothing but planting the deep roots of hell. People in the world are so ignorant that they don't know."

The ignorant people in the world walked faster when they heard this. No one thought that they could get involved even if they watched the excitement. Who would like to be said about themselves.

The monk also said: "There is no way for misfortune or good fortune, but people call for themselves; good and evil are rewarded like a shadow. The blood is dripping with taste, and the pain is hard to avenge. Put yourself in his place and think for him, who is willing to cut himself with a knife. Thousands of years Come to a bowl of soup, the grievance is as deep as the sea, and the hatred is hard to resolve. If you want to know the world's swords and soldiers, but listen to the sound of the butcher's door in the middle of the night. Who knows that the life of a group of people is small, and their flesh and blood are like skin. I advise you not to hit three spring birds, and the son looks at his mother in the nest. Return."

The more he talks, the less people like to listen.

Who doesn't eat meat?
These days, meat is a rarity.

If they are told not to eat meat, it is better to tell them to die.

A burly man couldn't help but come up and said: "So what if I eat meat? I don't see any retribution. I'm afraid you, a monk, are just talking nonsense to deceive all living beings."

The monk was also very talented, and he directly quoted the scriptures and said: "If people eat sheep, if sheep die, people will become people, and if people die, sheep will become sheep. If this is the case, and even ten lives, life and death will come and eat each other, evil karma will be born, and the future will be poor." Because of the cause and condition, after thousands of kalpas, they are always in birth and death."

That burly man probably went to a private school for several years, and he understood it. He just laughed loudly: "You monk is also interesting. What you say about the afterlife and this life is not a lie."

"All living beings are the relatives of the six relatives of the previous life. In the past, when the great master Hanshan traveled to the world, he saw a private house getting married, the gongs and drums blared, and a hundred tables were opened. He watched it with the eyes of the sky. He couldn't help crying and sighed: "Six paths of reincarnation are suffering, grandson Marry the grandmother, the cattle and sheep are the seat of honor, and the six relatives cook in the pot. "One word tells that all the sentient beings of the six realms of reincarnation are our relatives for countless kalpas. It is only because of the ignorance of all living beings that they cannot see." If you can't wish for it, it's better than him singing a one-man show alone, like a clown who makes people laugh.

Under the stage, Xuanjue listened for a while, then presided over the meeting: "Master, go back, it's nothing more."

The host said, "Let's go."

Knowing that the host is still remembering what Xuankong did just now, he plans to go back to the temple to punish him, so as not to be like the world, full of smog and intrigue.

Buddhism is a pure place, how could it be like this.

The two were about to leave when they heard the question from the soul of the burly man: "According to what you said, if you kill a pig and become a pig in your next life, and eat fish and become a fish in your next life, then why don't I just kill people and be a human in my next life?"

The field was quiet, and I didn't know how to answer.

If the answer is yes, wouldn’t it be encouraging him to kill someone? If the answer is no, wouldn’t it be saying that the saying that eating meat will lead to retribution is not valid? Wouldn’t it be saying that Buddhism is false and deceptive.

Almost all the monks present felt embarrassed.

And the people who were told by the monk that eating meat would go to hell all of a sudden surrounded him, as if they had exploded a frying pan.

They all said: "That's right, when you say that eating meat is bad, it's obviously..."

"Yes, if I commit many crimes, I will kill more people. In my next life, I will still be an adult. I see who else dares to stop me."

"I……"

……

All kinds of voices came in an instant.

The monk on the debate stage was stunned. When had he seen such a situation? Whenever he didn't say what the common people were called, how could they be like this today? For a while, he couldn't understand it.

The public voice is getting louder.

Seeing this, the host hesitated, and patted Xuanjue on the shoulder: "All this was caused by you, and you should end it."

Xuanjue wanted to deny it. He had already stepped down. It was the monk himself who stayed on the stage, so how could he say it was caused by him.

He almost blurted it out, and it didn't take long for him to realize how selfish, shallow and irresponsible he was.

If this matter is not resolved today, the common people will not believe in Buddhism, and they will have prejudices against Buddhists. In this way, how can the monks of Jinshan Temple who raised him have a better life.

Even if he doesn't spare his own life, how can he not care about those who are good to him.

Therefore, he had to go up and help.

He didn't know if he could solve it, yet, he had to.

He came to the stage: "Listen to me."

His voice was not loud and could not suppress the noisy scene at all.

The monk on the stage said in a low voice, sadly, "I'm the one who caused you trouble."

Xuanjue didn't answer, just sat in meditation and chanted Buddhist scriptures: "You bhikkhus! During the day, you should practice good dharma diligently, and don't miss the time. At the beginning of the night and after the night, don't let it go. Chanting the scriptures in the middle of the night is for self-information. With the cause of sleep, one's life will be empty, and there will be no gain. Think of the fire of impermanence, burning the world, and seek self-salvation early, and don't sleep. Thieves of afflictions, who often wait for murder, are more than enemies, sleep peacefully, and don't sleep Self-warning. Annoying poisonous snakes sleep in your heart, like black gnats sleeping in your room. Use the hook of precepts to get rid of them early. Once the sleeping snake comes out, you can sleep peacefully. Sleeping without coming out is a shameless person. The obedience of shame is the most important of all adornments. Shame is like an iron hook, which can restrain people from law-breaking. Therefore, we should always be ashamed, and there is no substitute for it. If we are away from shame, we will lose all merit. A good dharma; if one has no shame, he is no different from any other beast."

"You bhikkhus! If someone comes to you and cuts you off one by one, you should restrain your heart and not provoke hatred. You should also protect your mouth and don't speak evil words. If you indulge your hatred, you will hinder yourself and lose merit. Endure it. Those who are virtuous, keep precepts and practice asceticism, those who are beyond reach, and who can practice patience, can be called powerful adults. If they cannot happily endure the poison of abuse, like drinking nectar, they are not called wise people. So what, anger The harm is to destroy all good dharmas and destroy good reputation. People in this life and future generations do not like to see it. You should know that anger is worse than fierce fire, and you should always protect it so that no one can enter. Desires, non-walkers, cannot control themselves, and anger is still forgiven. It is very unacceptable for a person who has no desires to become a monk and practice the Tao. It is like a thunderbolt igniting a fire in a cold cloud, which is not what should be."
