Rebirth: Bringing the System to Find a Husband

Chapter 391 Debate
Yes, everything can only depend on himself, no matter how much Elder Kasyapa said, he can't listen to it, so what.

The man frowned and left.

Nie Shuangyan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Little master is really perfunctory."

She knew that he was Elder Kasyapa, but he didn't know that she knew it, and others didn't know that she knew it, so Nie Shuangyan only called him Little Master.

Elder Kasyapa said: "People who study Buddhism, it is best to have a pure heart. When the pure heart appears, all good and bad karma will become successful and become Dzogchen. With good karma, you can go to the three good ways to save sentient beings. Evil karma, you go to the three evil ways to save sentient beings, and you will be at ease in the six realms and nine dharma realms, and you will save all sentient beings. If you have a pure heart, you will have no sin karma from countless kalpas. If you have one mind, all sin karma will be eliminated. It's active again. If so, wait, it's innumerable."

Elder Kasyapa looked at her and said earnestly: "However, the world is like this. He has parents, wife and children, and the base encourages killing zombies. Can he really not be tempted? I can't change the rules of the base, I can only relieve him. Just some pressure."

Seeing him like this, Nie Shuangyan smiled and said, "I've heard before that Buddhism is the most powerful school. The stupid ones talk about karma, and the smart ones talk about reincarnation and detachment."

Elder Kasyapa said indifferently: "Confucians say that there is no distinction between teaching and medicine, and doctors say that the right medicine is the right medicine. The same is true for Buddhism. Everyone is different, with different personalities, family backgrounds, etc., so the problems they face are different, so how can we generalize them? .”

Nie Shuangyan laughed: "I can't say anything about you anyway."

Elder Kasyapa looked at her lovingly, his eyes were full of pity, but it didn't make people feel that he was underestimated, and Nie Shuangyan couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

Elder Kassapa lowered his head and continued to recite: "The world is really dangerous and fragile, and there is no solid prison. I can destroy it now, just like getting rid of evil diseases. This is the body that should be given up. The sinful things are falsely called the body, and they are not included in the sea of ​​old age, illness, life and death." , How can a wise man get rid of him, like killing a resentful thief, but not rejoice?"

……

Nie Shuangyan hesitated for a moment, then said: "I have aroused bodhicitta...however, I don't want to arouse bodhicitta...I am probably the most selfish person."

"The so-called bodhicitta is the heart that aspires to be a Buddha; the heart that aspires to be a Buddha is the heart to save all living beings. The heart to save all living beings is the heart to receive all living beings and be reborn in the lands of the Buddhas. Belief in and wishing to recite the Buddha is the supreme bodhicitta, great compassion, great wisdom and great vows are the bodhicitta, and seeking the Buddha’s way to transform all living beings is the bodhicitta. If you don’t want to arouse the bodhicitta, it’s probably because the time has not come. You must be devout, but you are asked to do good deeds, not to force people to believe. You don't need to worry."

Nie Shuangyan: I believe you are a ghost, you are a bad old man.

Nie Shuangyan said: "I don't really believe it. I read in the Buddhist scriptures that if you slander the Three Jewels, you will go to hell. If you say the Buddha's body and blood, you will also go to hell. Isn't this arbitrariness? People must believe it." No."

Elder Kasyapa calmly said: "Slander is talking behind the scenes, slander is public accusation. Slander refers to attacking or ridiculing with words to uglify, slander, and intentionally fabricate facts to slander and destroy the reputation of others. If you don't believe it, just don't listen. Do you want to slander and destroy the reputation of others? Is this what a gentleman does again? There are not a few people who shed the blood of the Buddha's body. If everyone can do it, there will be no safety for the monks."

Nie Shuangyan pressed him step by step: "Didn't the Buddha say that all living beings are equal? ​​If you kill someone, you will fall into hell, but if you don't kill, you will only shed the blood of the Buddha's body. Why should you go to hell. All living beings are originally Buddhas, and the Buddha's nature is impermanent and impermanent. Do not rely on the body, do not rely on the mind. Therefore, the body can be destroyed, the mind can be destroyed, and the Buddha-nature cannot be broken. If this is the case, what is so bad about shedding the blood of the Buddha's body?"

Nie Shuangyan is not a stalker, she is just really curious: "A Buddha who hurts her own heart with disgust. Does not respect or believe in the Buddha and even slanders the Buddha, or seeks from the Buddha out of greed for the five desires, or in name Hearing, benefiting, cultivating and practicing the method of giving is all the blood of the Buddha's body. The blood of the Buddha's body has the life of the body and the life of wisdom. Cut off, why go to endless hell."

Nie Shuangyan laughed a little and said: "See, disrespect and disbelief in the Buddha and even slandering the Buddha is the blood of the Buddha. Do you still dare to say that the Buddha does not force people to believe? This is going to hell."

Elder Kasyapa was disappointed: "The Buddha once incarnated as Gautama Siddhartha, the prince of the Sakyas, and abandoned his family background in order to seek salvation. The Buddha was compassionate to all living beings at that time. The Buddha is willing to save all living beings, but he does not use these to suppress all living beings, forcing all living beings to believe in him. In the past, there were those who did not respect the Buddha, did not believe in him, and even slandered him. The Buddha forgives their mistakes and saves them. The Buddha is great love, and How can you send them to hell for this?"

"The Buddha said, in the evil world of five turbidities, I teach and transform such strong beings, subdue their minds, abandon evil and return to righteousness. There are still evil habits in one or two out of ten. I also have thousands of billions of bodies, and set up expedients widely. Or beneficial roots, When you hear it, you believe it. There may be good results, and you will achieve success with diligent persuasion. Or you will be dull, and you will return after a long time. Or you will have heavy karma, but you will not be respected. Like all sentient beings of the same generation, each is different, and you can get rid of it."

Elder Kasyapa was disappointed: "Even if there are no people who admire him, the Buddha only wants to save them. The Buddha has not changed, and what has changed is not the Buddha."

Nie Shuangyan was speechless.

She remembered some of the novels she read back then: the gods never change, but his followers change.

God is the original intention, but his believers want to get something from him and change something, even if they pour dirty water on the god they believe in.

Nie Shuangyan suddenly felt sad.

Elder Kasyapa didn't know, but said: "However, if the cause and effect are the same, the Buddha can't interfere. For example, Moggallana, who was the first in supernatural powers and the first in filial piety, died under the rocks due to the misfortune of heretics. The Buddha knows, Even His Majesty knew about it, but he still endured it calmly. Each of us should bear everything for what we deserve.”

"Buddhism is never a way to make money, Buddhism is never a study that shackles people, and Buddhism is not a teaching that tolerates others." Elder Kasyapa calmly said.

Nie Shuangyan understood a little bit, but she didn't seem to understand. She just seemed to feel that some of her understanding of Buddhism back then was wrong.However, maybe it wasn't her who was wrong, but the Buddhism that had been changed beyond recognition.

When Nie Shuangyan thought of Confucianism, he felt that perhaps most things in the world were like this - no matter how pure and kind they were originally, but later, as time passed, they would be covered with layers of things that did not belong to them, until they were beyond recognition. , no longer recognized.

Elder Kasyapa knew the past and the future, so he didn't make things difficult for Nie Shuangyan. He just looked at her lovingly: "Put the green seedlings in the field with your hands, and you can see the water and the sky when you bow your head; the six clean roots are the way, and it turns out that you are going backwards." forward."
