…………

Although both Zhuge Qingyun and Fakong had the ability to do something at the moment the shoe fell to the ground, they still chose to respect Qin Shushu's opinion and let the slipper drop to the ground and point at random.

By using the most fair and impartial way of throwing shoes, the candidate for the No.1 lecturer-Fakong monk was determined!
Zhuge Qingyun sat aside with a pale face, while Monk Fakong stood in front of the blackboard with a bright face.

This is the first time he stands on the podium, and it is also the first time he is a teacher.

When Fakong looked at Qin Shushu in the audience, there was an emotion called responsibility and obligation spreading in his heart, and he vowed to train Qin Shushu to become a Buddhist monk who surpassed himself.

Because in his opinion, Qin Shushu does have this potential!
"Just now, the little monk talked about the five precepts of Buddhism. These five precepts are the essence of Buddhism. If you abide by the five precepts, you can avoid suffering and terror in this world, and you can gain freedom, peace, harmony, and happiness in your body and mind. Evil way, get retribution from human beings and gods, and even become a Buddha."

After Monk Fakong came to the stage, there was no polite opening remarks at all, and he started to talk about dry goods immediately, which was definitely hard dry goods without any moisture!

Whether it was intentional or not, Fakong had already seduced Qin Shushu when he spoke the first paragraph.

For example, by adhering to the five precepts, one can avoid falling into the three evil ways, gain the retribution of beings and gods, and even become a Buddha.

This clearly means that after learning the Five Precepts, one will not enter the realm of animals, the realm of hungry ghosts, or the realm of hell. At worst, one can continue to be a human being, or even become a Buddha!
Before the class started to be formally taught, a huge stuffed pie had already been thrown out, which shows that Fakong's ability to fool people is definitely not weak!
"Buddhist five precepts, the first precept is abstaining from killing, no matter how big or small it is. Let the water boil, don't tilt the ground, and avoid the life of insects."

"Second commandment, accept the truth, never steal, want to harm others but benefit yourself, it's like stealing the same rule."

"The third commandment is to refrain from lust, don't be greedy for beauty, waste your soul, hurt your soul, and you can't escape from hell."

"The fourth commandment is to avoid lying, don't be superficial, speak faithfully, act conscientiously, be honest, and speak with sincerity."

"Fifth commandment, abstain from alcohol and meat, get rid of the bad taste. Alcohol leads to ignorance, irritability, and intestinal poison. You can't swallow living meat, and the injustice is hard to erase. Eat four taels and return half a catty. He still hates it." Less. Kill a life, give a life back, there is no mercy. A person who cultivates the heart, wears coarse clothes, is full of vegetarian food, clean and delicious, and looks so free and unrestrained."

When talking about this, Fakong looked at Qin Shushu a little apologetically.

"Benefactor Qin, if you have something you don't understand, tell the little monk directly. The little monk will try to translate it into words that are easier to understand and explain it to you."

Qin Shushu waved his hands indifferently.

"You speak like this, I sound very understandable, there is no problem at all. Master, you can continue."

I am a dignified college student in the philosophy department, can't understand?What a snakeskin joke!
Of course, if Fakong's speech is really incomprehensible, then it's fine. Qin Shushu hasn't thought about achieving the point where all the four elements are empty.

"Those who keep the precepts and clean can gain ten kinds of benefits: one is to satisfy omniscience; Seventh is Mu Le Nirvana medicine, eighth is attainment of no entanglement, ninth is triumphant samadhi, tenth is not lacking in faith and wealth."

"In addition, if we protect life without killing, we will naturally achieve health and longevity. If we don't steal but donate, we will naturally get rich and enjoy wealth. If we don't commit adultery and respect others' reputation, we will naturally have a harmonious family. If we don't lie but praise others, we will naturally be able to enjoy wealth and honor. Get a good reputation. Don't drink alcohol and stay away from the temptation of drugs, and you will naturally be healthy and wise."

"So, by keeping the five precepts, you can avoid suffering and terror in this world, and you can gain freedom, peace, harmony, and happiness in your body and mind. In the future, you can avoid falling into the three evil ways, get retribution from humans and gods, and even become a Buddha. Keeping the five precepts is like living in the world. If you sow seeds in the field of blessings, even if you don’t seek them, you will naturally gain many benefits, and you will naturally enjoy endless merit and good fruits.”

"Even if Master Qin is not a Buddhist now, he still needs to abide by the five precepts as a layman practicing at home. This will only benefit you and not harm you."

"The little monk has gone through three stages of practicing Buddhism, the first is renunciation, the second is bodhicitta, and the third is emptiness. In the first two stages, there is no difference between all Buddhist sects, and no sect will reject bodhicitta and renunciation. .Only when entering the final stage—the practice of emptiness—is it different, and the methods of each sect are not exactly the same.”

"The first stage is to establish renunciation. After renunciation is cultivated, we can rely on renunciation to cut off our greed for the world. Without renunciation, we will never be able to jump out of samsara. On the basis of not having renunciation Everything you do, whether it is cultivation, reciting the Buddha’s name, or doing other meritorious deeds, becomes the dharma of the world.”

"The practice of generating renunciation is to move forward in all directions. Specifically, it includes: the rare human body, the impermanence of life, the troubles of reincarnation, and the integrity of karma. If you can cultivate it well, you can cultivate the correct renunciation."

"The second stage is to have the bodhicitta of Mahayana Buddhism. If there is no bodhicitta, all practice will become the method of the Hinayana. To cultivate bodhicitta, you need to practice the five internal practices, including: taking refuge, Vajrasattva practice, offering mantras Chaluo and other series of practices."

"Because the renunciation and bodhicitta cultivated in the previous practice are indispensable conditions for liberation. Like a farmer planting crops, if one or two of the conditions such as seeds, soil, and water are missing, there will be no harvest. Or like a computer , if one or two of its system programs are deleted, it will not work normally."

"If there is no renunciation and bodhicitta, the fruit of Buddha will never come down from the sky. If there is no one, there will be nothing. Similarly, if there is no pre-practice, renunciation and bodhicitta will not arise naturally."

"The third stage is to realize emptiness. It is very important to be aware of emptiness, that is, self-manifestation, because when you think of emptiness or mention the word emptiness, you will think that there is nothing, nothing."

"Considering emptiness is definitely not observing nothing or seeing nothing. If you think of the state of nothingness, you are cultivating the view of cessation. Of course the mind is empty, but the emptiness of the mind is the ability to show, and it is endless. , The ability to change and get rid of poverty.”

"Therefore, when we are awakened, emptiness is fully revealed, not becoming an idiot, but infinite wisdom. The Buddha is not an idiot, the Buddha sees everything as it is, can accomplish infinite Buddhist deeds, and benefit all sentient beings. The Buddha has all the merits and virtues because Emptiness manifests itself."

At this time, Qin Shushu couldn't help asking in his inner doubts.

"Master Fakong, if emptiness manifests itself, that is, even if emptiness is realized, emptiness still continues to manifest, will emptiness continue to appear in the form of affliction and pain, the same as when there is no enlightenment now? "

Fakong smiled and shook his head, giving a negative answer.

"No. Once the true nature of manifestation is realized, which is the self-manifestation of emptiness, the manifestation is self-liberating and does not cause attachment. So the fourth realization is - self-manifestation is self-liberation. If you realize Once you realize the nature of thought, you will be liberated as soon as the thought arises, and will not bring about further attachment.”

"Although the nature of the mind is constant, the experience of meditation will change because of the accumulated habits from beginningless kalpas. Sometimes, even if you have not realized emptiness, you will feel that you have realized emptiness. Sometimes even if everything goes well If things go well, I feel that this incense sits very badly and is meaningless. In addition, I often look forward to or worry about whether the state of meditation will improve. I often hope that this incense will sit well and produce wonderful and lofty feelings. I'm also afraid that the fragrance will be very uncomfortable."

"Expectation and fear have nothing to do with meditation, because when observing the mind, there is no need to create any new realm, just try to take care of the original state as much as possible, so when taking care of it, you don't need to worry about what feelings will appear."

I have to say that Fakong is indeed a great eminent monk. At least he is extremely diligent in studying Buddhism, and the understanding he narrates is far beyond Qin Shushu's expectations. He can't help but make him a little more serious and respectful. A hint of banter and negligence.

Feeling the changes in Qin Shushu's body, Fakong felt even more relieved, and gently called the Buddha's name.

"Amitabha. Trees without roots are hard to prosper. Let's start with the introduction of Buddhism for the donors in this first lesson."

Compared with Fakong, Zhuge Qingyun on the side was chewing tea leaves with an unhappy face, making extremely indecent noises, and at the same time mumbling something, and looking at his watch from time to time, hoping that he would If the class can end earlier, so as not to brainwash Qin Shushu again, then the Confucianism will be ashamed!

"About the origin of human beings, Buddhism has a specific answer. For example, some Buddhist scriptures record that the earliest human beings on Earth came from the sixth day of the Form Realm, the Light Sound Heaven, and they flew from the sky."

"Buddhism believes that all living beings are divided into four shapes, womb-born, transformation-born, wet-born, egg-born, and human beings belong to womb-born. Then, what are the reasons for the need to enter the womb? There are also corresponding answers in Buddhist scriptures."

"Life is an endless continuation. The journey of our life from birth to death is only a link, a segment in the continuation of life. Then, how is life transmitted? How to transfer from the past to the present, and then From this life to the next life? Buddhism tells us that the continuation of sentient life generally goes through four stages, namely: birth, original existence, death existence, and intermediate existence.”

"Birth does not refer to the moment when we fall from the mother's womb, but the moment when life begins to reincarnate. When a man and a woman have intercourse with love, the bardo body will intervene when the sperm and egg are combined, forming the beginning of a period of life. So far After completing the life of the bardo body, Buddhism calls it life.”

"Of course, human beings are only one of the six realms. In addition to the human realm, there are also the gods, asuras, animals, hungry ghosts, and hells. Hundreds of millions of creatures live in each realm."

"Among the six realms, the human realm is the most complicated. It is called the world of mortals. Many people choose to believe in religion if they want to escape from the world of mortals."

"The word religion contains the meaning of communication between man and gods or worship of gods. When it comes to religion, people will inevitably think of gods. However, Buddhism, one of the three major religions in the world, does not have a relationship with gods. If we say , religion must establish belief in God, so in this sense, Buddhism cannot be called a religion.”

"As the little monk said, the worship of gods is common in religions. However, the understanding of gods is different, so polytheism, ditheism, and monotheism have emerged."

"Polytheism is the belief that there are many gods in the universe. They each rule a part of the universe, such as the gods who rule the wind, rain, thunder, lightning, climate, forests, rivers, and oceans, and the gods of war, disease, death, and the underworld. Such as ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, ancient Rome, as well as Huaxia Taoism are polytheistic beliefs.""

Most of the gods believed in by polytheism are human-shaped gods. This kind of anthropomorphism appears in higher cultured societies.In Greece, gods and humans have the same appearance, and there are also human desires and human inferiority, and they even fall in love with people and are jealous. "

"The two gods believe that the universe is mainly controlled by two gods, namely, the benevolent good god and the fierce evil god. The good god uses kind, gentle, and lovely elves as his assistants to relieve suffering and give favors to others. The evil gods have cruel and violent elves who specialize in doing harm.""

"Many religions in the world have the characteristics of ditheism. For example, in ancient Egypt, the good god was Osiris, and the evil god was Saart. In ancient India, there were Indra, the god of the day, and Vedra, the god of night and evil. In Madagascar, the good god is Zhanhor, and the evil god is Nyal."

"Among religions, monotheism is considered to be a high-level religion with the largest number of believers. Monotheism establishes a master of the universe, such as Jehovah in Judaism and Christianity, Allah in Islam, and Brahma in Indian Brahmanism. The only god in the universe is omniscient, omnipotent and eternally existing. He created everything in the world and determines the fate of the world."

"Buddhism, which is also a religion, denies the existence of the dominant god. Compared with theistic religion, Buddhism may be called atheistic religion. Buddhism is Sakyamuni's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, witnessing the truth of the universe and life, and discovering the truth of the universe. All things are not determined by a sovereign god, they all rise and fall according to the law of cause and effect.”

"In the three dharma seals of the fundamental teachings of Buddhism, all dharmas without self are put forward on the basis of the idea of ​​karma, cause and effect. From the perspective of the universe, I refer to the God who has eternity and dominates the world. Eternal, sovereign soul. Usually religions recognize a sovereign God, a sovereign soul."

"Buddhism looks at the world from the perspective of cause and effect, but does not see the eternal or dominant god or soul. Therefore, it is proposed that all dharmas have no self and no self. This is the fundamental difference between Buddhism and other religions."

Qin Shushu was amazed at Fakong's profound knowledge.

A monk or a monk can name so many other sects and conduct rational analysis of other sects. This is definitely not something that old monks can do.

In other words, the monk Fakong standing in front of him can definitely be regarded as an outlier in Shaolin. Otherwise, how could he devote so much energy to looking at the world?
Many eminent Buddhist monks have spent their whole lives studying Buddhism, and they disdain the behavior of distracting themselves from studying other sects, or think that they are going astray.

Monk Fakong is completely different. It can be seen that his words are quite intended to annex the world.

Qin Shushu questioned what Fakong said again.

"Just like Master Fakong mentioned the Six Realms just now, and in many scriptures and treatises of Buddhism, there are also records of gods? For example, the ghost way in the Six Realms recognizes the existence of ghosts and gods. The heavens of the Three Realms recognize the existence of gods. Since So, how can Buddhism be called atheism?"

It seemed that Fakong was ready to answer Qin Shushu's question, and he answered his doubts in a dignified manner.

"Buddhism does not deny the existence of ghosts and gods in addition to humanity, but the ghosts and gods mentioned in Buddhism are different from the gods of other religions. Buddhism believes that ghosts and gods are only a type of sentient beings, and they do not have eternity. , the meaning of domination.”

"The atheism of Buddhism is also different from the atheism of materialism. The atheism of materialism belongs to the theory of annihilation. They don't believe that there are ghosts and gods besides the human world, and they don't think that after death, there are sentient beings. It can continue. Although Buddhism denies the eternal and dominant god or soul, life in the universe is governed by the law of cause and effect, which is continuous and irregular, similar to continuous."

Don't be afraid of monks reading scriptures, but be afraid of monks learning culture!

Qin Shushu understood that he and Fakong really had something in common.

Qin Shushu is a top student in the Department of Philosophy. He has a deep understanding of philosophy, and his extracurricular interests are extremely extensive. He will study the theories of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. He also reads various official and unofficial histories.

On the other hand, what about the Fakong monk?
This monk himself should have read all kinds of scriptures in Shaolin, but besides reading scriptures, he also learned scientific and cultural knowledge, and also learned religious beliefs from all over the world. It was like a grocery store in his stomach!

No wonder he and Zhuge Qingyun debated endlessly, these two buddies have a lot of money in their stomachs!

Now such a comparison, he seems to be inferior!

But that's okay, who made him a student now?

As long as you can learn the skills, it is more important than anything else.

Although there are three books in my mustard bag, the Yijinjing, the marrow-washing sutra, and the Haoran Zhengqi Jue, after all, self-study is still not as fast as the teacher's hand-in-hand teaching!

"The reason why all religions worship gods is mainly because gods play a pivotal role in the world or human beings. For example, all major religions use gods to create the world, such as Christianity. Allah created the heaven and the earth in six days, and divided the sky into seven layers in two days. Indian Brahmanism used Brahman to give birth to all things in the world. Brahma. Sikhism also believes that there is an absolute god who created the world.”

"Gods also rule over the world's good and evil and human misfortune. From polytheism to monotheism, it is generally believed that gods have the ability to dominate the world and human beings. In polytheism, many gods dominate the world. For example, there are wind gods in the wind, and fire in the fire. God, there is a sun god for the sun, and there is an Eros god for love, and each performs its duties."

"To monotheism, an omniscient and omnipotent God is established to rule over the misfortunes and blessings of the world. For example, the God of Christianity created human beings. He found that human beings are too hateful, and in a fit of anger, a flood wiped out human beings. He thought Noah's family was very kind, so he left Noah behind. family."

"Egyptian Pharaoh had a hard time with God's chosen people, the Israelites. God sent ten natural disasters on Egypt in a fit of anger, which made Pharaoh succumb. King Solomon ruled the country wisely, and God appreciated him, so he gave him wisdom, wealth, and respect. Rong. The Bible is full of such examples."

"Similarly, Allah, the Allah of Islam, has the same ability. The Qur'an says that Allah is the Lord who governs all things and has supreme authority over heaven, earth and human beings. He also said, Allah, the Lord who holds great power! Can you Give authority to those who are willing, you can take authority away from those who are willing, you can make honorable and glorious to those who are willing, you can make those who are willing be humble and humiliated, and all benefits are in your hands. You are indeed omnipotent in Everything. It also said that Allah can make people poor and rich. This all shows that people's fate is in the hands of God and is determined by God."

At this moment, Qin Shushu felt that Fakong was a fake monk.

Because he has never seen any monk preaching the Bible, and even the Quran!
And to see what Monk Kong meant, the other divine scriptures he knew were far more limited to this, maybe what he said just now was just a small test!

It's really hard for Qin Shushu to understand, how did Shaolin Temple allow such an outlier like Monk Fakong to live till now?Instead of putting him in the 18 Bronze Man formation and beating him to death.

It's just that today I have talked about so many other gods' knowledge, even the Buddha will be angry when he hears it! ?
After Fakong talked about it again, he finally returned to the narration of Buddhism.

"Buddhism does not recognize the existence of a sovereign god in the world. So what does the world depend on? Buddhism talks about cause and effect. It is said in the "Buddhist Scriptures" that there are causes and fates that gather in the world, and there are causes and fates that gather in the world. The world is destroyed because of the relationship, and the world is destroyed because of the relationship. It is also said that there is no law that does not arise from the cause and condition. The cause and condition are the conditions, and the cause is the condition of affinity, a special condition. The condition is the condition of separation, the general condition. All things in the world come together by karma. Disintegration of karma leads to the decay of things, and extinction comes from dispersal of karma.”

"The core of cause and effect is karma. Karma is the behavior of human beings. From an ethical point of view, it can be divided into three types: good, evil, and indeterminate. There are common karma and non-common karma. Karma, the common behavior of human beings determines the quality of the common living environment of human beings. Individual behavior determines the fate of personal life.

"Buddhism believes that the rise and fall of the world, and the fortunes and misfortunes of life, are mainly determined by karma. Apart from karma, there is no external god that can control the fate of human beings.

"The gods determine people's misfortunes and blessings with gods. The theory of karma determines the misfortunes and blessings based on people's good and evil karma. The gods create people with gods, and there are inherent differences, such as dividing God's chosen people and non-God's chosen people. The reborn race is not the regenerated race. The theory of karma holds that everyone is equal, and there are differences in life only because of different karma. The gods believe that one period of life ends, and they will go to heaven or go to hell forever. The land is only a process, not an end."

"The gods rule the world with gods, and gods determine the good and bad in the world. This is an obvious idea of ​​other forces. Since everything in the world is determined by other forces, then human beings also rely on other forces if they want to be saved. This other force Religion mainly revolves around God’s redemption of man and man’s belief in God.”

"Just like Christianity, Christianity says that God loves the world. The central idea of ​​the Bible is the redemption of Christ. The Old Testament is the prophecy and promise of redemption. The Gospel is the promise of redemption fulfilled in Jesus Christ. "Acts of the Apostles" and the Epistles of the Apostles clarify that salvation is spread throughout the world through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. "Apocalypse" predicts that Christ will come again after completing the great cause of redemption, so that mankind will enter a new heaven and new earth. Cooperating with Christ's redemption is the human beings' respect for Christ. faith."

Qin Shushu: ()?

Monk Fakong is poisonous!
Why does it feel that when he talks about other sects, the brilliance in his eyes is different! ?
How many books other than Buddhism has he mastered!

Does the master who taught him the Dharma live in the ICU now, or has passed away and returned to the embrace of the Buddha?
It's very weird to see him being so upright now, with a bald head and a bald head talking about the "Bible" doctrine, isn't it very weird! ?
Qin Shushu sneakily took out the phone, and then turned on the recording function.

After this video is recorded, it will definitely become a powerful weapon to threaten France and Kong in the future.

As long as Fakong has any bad thoughts about him in the future, and scares him with some Vajra Dharma, he will edit the video and send it to Shaolin Temple, and see how Shaolin will deal with him then?
"Hehehe..."

Fakong was in high spirits when he saw Qin Shushu secretly take out his mobile phone to record the video. He thought it was because he planned to review it after class. convenient.

Recalling that when he was studying Buddhism, it was good enough to be able to use a pen to record. Usually, he had to rely on his brain to memorize.

Now that technology is taking off, how helpful it is to people!

With the help of science and technology, coupled with Qin's benefactor's hard work, the time to join Buddhism is not far away!
Fakong, who had no idea that he had been calculated, was still talking freely.

"It is mentioned in the Bible that God sent his Son into the world not to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Those who believe in him will not be condemned, and those who do not believe have already been condemned. He also said that those who believe in the Son will have eternal life, but those who do not believe in the Son will not have eternal life. This all explains the principle of salvation through faith.”

"Islam also places special emphasis on faith. The "Koran" proposes that the basic principles that believers should have are six beliefs. That is, believe in Allah, believe in Allah's Messenger, believe in angels, and believe in the "Koran" of the apocalypse, believe in the pre-determined, and believe in the end Judgment, Islam believes that Allah is the most merciful and merciful, but judging from his attitude towards unbelievers, he is not magnanimous. See what the Qur'an says."

"Those who believe in Allah and His Messenger are pious and witnesses to the Lord, and they will have their reward and light. It is also said that whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger will be punished by Hell and dwell in it forever He also said that those who depart from the will of Allah will indeed be severely chained."

"From this point of view, Allah's benevolence is limited to those who believe in religion. As for those who do not believe, deviant and those who do not obey the command of Allah, they will be sent to hell to suffer and will never be forgiven."

"Corresponding to faith are praise, prayer, and sacrifice. In the "Old Testament Poetry", most of them are psalms of praise and prayer, as can be seen from the title of the poem. Such as the prayer of morning revival, ask the Lord to forgive him I pray that the Lord will save the wicked, ask the Lord to rise up against the enemy, the glory of the Lord, the dignity of man, the righteousness of the Lord, and the rest of the psalms are generally the same. Similarly, the beginning of each chapter of the "Koran" is about Allah praise."

Taking advantage of Fakong's inattention, Qin Shushu curled his lips secretly.

Monk Fakong is now stepping on several other sects to promote the benevolence of Buddhism!

Doesn't Buddhism give praise?

If you don't praise, why is Amitabha Buddha or my Buddha merciful?

Bah, bah, bah, so hypocritical!
Listening to Fakong's explanation now, you must listen with discernment, and you must not listen to everything and believe it all. You must have your own opinions, otherwise you will really be brainwashed by him!
"Sacrifice is also very important in divine religion. Whether it is primitive religion, polytheism or even monotheism, it attaches great importance to sacrifice. In primitive religion, priests are responsible for sacrifices, and sacrifice animals or even humans for gods. The three basic ideas of Indian Brahmanism Among them, there is one item that is omnipotent for sacrifice."

"There are many records of offering sacrifices to God in the Old Testament. For example, the book of Leviticus introduces in detail the sacrificial rituals, the duties of the priests, and the rules for distinguishing between clean and unclean. Of course, the sacrifices were mainly animals."

"However, in the Bible, there are also people who make sacrifices to God. For example, Abraham wanted to kill his own son to sacrifice to Jehovah. Jephthah really killed his own daughter to sacrifice to Jehovah. The sacrifice not only expresses people's respect for God, At the same time, it also shows gratitude and reward to God, and I hope God will not get angry casually and bless us from time to time.”

"On this point, Buddhism is completely different. The behavior of harming life will create karma itself. If you sacrifice to gods by manufacturing power, then the gods are definitely evil spirits!"

"Buddhism believes that the fate of human beings depends on their own behavior, karma. If people want to get rid of suffering and reach the other side of Nirvana, they must naturally work hard. When the Buddha died, many disciples who did not realize the Tao felt at a loss. How to cultivate the Tao in the future. At this time, the Buddha said to Ananda, rely on yourself and rely on the Dharma."

"Self-dependence means that we must rely on ourselves in the practice of liberation, and we cannot rely on any one person. Dharma-dependence is to act according to the law, because we do not have the ability to know the truth, and we do not know how to be the way to liberation, so we must rely on Law."

"Then what is Dharma? To put it simply, it is entering the right way. Right view, knowing the reality of the universe and life as it really is. Right thinking, thinking about everything with correct concepts. Right speech, true language or language that is beneficial to the public. Right action , correct thinking and behavior. Right effort, right effort. Right livelihood, right way of earning a living. Right mind, right state of mind and thought. Right concentration, right meditation. , Virtue is not an external force."

"The leader of Buddhism, Sakyamuni, is also different from the gods of other religions. He is omnipotent and can even give people blessings and misfortunes at will. Buddhism takes Sakyamuni as its main teacher, and this teacher is the most fundamental teacher, because he taught me to know the truth , tell me how to get rid of the pain of life."

"Buddhism also pays attention to faith, but faith is different from Confucian faith. It is only the foundation of learning Buddhism. Learning Buddhism is based on faith as one's ability to enter, and wisdom as one's ability to save. To get rid of troubles and realize Nirvana. It depends on one's own awareness. Wisdom, not just staying on faith."

"Monotheism believes that everything in the world and human beings revolves around gods and exists. Natural gods are more important than human beings. Because God is the creator and human beings are creatures. God is the master and human beings are slaves. The human world is only a temporary illusion. Heaven is the eternal destination."

"Therefore, the purpose of life should be to believe in God, act according to God's will, and finally return to God. From this point of view, monotheism is a god-based outlook on life."

"Buddhism believes that everything about a person is determined by the person himself, and naturally emphasizes the importance of the person. The so-called human body is rare. The leader of Buddhism, Sakyamuni, became a Buddha from a human being, which reflects the superiority of human beings in the six realms. The Buddhist scriptures say that all the Buddhas and World Honored Ones come from the human world and are not obtained from the heavens. The Buddha is the enlightened one in the human world, not in the sky. There are no enlightened beings in the sky, but there are gods, Brahma, gods, gods and their messengers."

"In addition, the World Honored One is a human being, not a god in the sky, and he did not pretend to be the son and messenger of God to preach to mankind. And Buddhist scriptures are also different from divine scriptures. Divine scriptures such as "Veda", "Old and New Testaments", The "Koran", etc., all appear as revelations from God. Buddhist classics are the outpouring of the Buddha's sea of ​​wisdom and the enlightenment of the enlightened beings in the world."

"The gods also believe that heaven is clean, bright, and joyful. However, the world is full of sin, darkness, and pain. Therefore, human beings naturally yearn for heaven and hate the world."

"Buddhism believes that although the enjoyment in heaven is better than that of human beings, it is only vulgar and selfish. If you are intoxicated with pleasure and happiness, you often don't think about progress, let alone seek the truth. Once the blessings are exhausted, you will inevitably fall. "

"On the contrary, although there are sufferings and joys in the world, human beings will continue to explore the truth in order to improve their own environment and seek happiness. Therefore, the right enlightenment of reason and the freedom of liberation are not in the world. The heavens are good places. It can be seen that Buddhism is a humanist."

"As I mentioned above, the religion establishes a sovereign god, and bases the fate, liberation, and hope of human beings on the foundation of gods. Buddhism denies gods, and believes that everything about people is their own thoughts and behaviors. Caused."

"The liberation of human suffering is to purify oneself and perfect oneself from the cause and effect of all dharmas with correct thoughts and actions. This is also the uniqueness of Buddhism."

After Fakong's speech, Qin Shushu had a new realization and understanding of Buddhism. It seemed that his previous understanding was still biased.

However, just as he had thought in his heart before, what Fakong said could not be taken as the truth to learn.

As the saying goes, there are three thousand ways, everyone's understanding of the way has deviations, and each way is not necessarily wrong. Only by sorting out the way in your heart is your own way!
