Chapter 252 [Buddha and Taoism struggle! 】

The current situation is that what Han Shuo said is getting more and more outrageous, but at the same time, he has listed more and more evidence. Although netizens want to deny him, in the face of so much evidence, they are It's hard to deny!
Han Shuo naturally knew what the netizens were thinking. After all, he interpreted the strange things in his world. Netizens who had never heard of these remarks in this world were astonished when they first heard it. But I knew, so I made a brief summary: "Actually, no matter whether it is the Bodhisattva secretly using a doll to study the matter of immortality, or the Antarctic old birthday star, in the final analysis, it is the trouble caused by the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism. If the Jade Emperor does not try to If we had deprived ourselves of those flat peaches, the Western Buddhas would not have been forced into this situation, trying every means to prolong their lives, even at the cost of ruining their lives."

Conflict between Buddhism and Taoism?

Seeing that Han Shuo came up with another noun, netizens couldn't help but look at each other. Could it be that this guy is trying to make some astonishing remarks?Does he still think he's not making enough noise?

Of course, Han Shuo would not stop posting the following remarks because of the opposition from netizens. As a moral and upright literati, he has defied the pressure of the outside world and has the courage to express his true views!
So, he picked up the coffee that Sun Xiaodie thoughtfully sent, took a small sip, let the mellow coffee dance on the tip of his tongue, and finally flowed into his throat. Type a paragraph of text on the Internet and send it through Weibo:
"Talking about the struggle between Buddhism and Taoism, we must first talk about the distribution of many gods and Buddhas in Buddhism and Taoism.

Let’s talk about family first. The gods of Taoism all live in the sky, and when these gods gather together, they will inevitably form a social circle, and the leader of this circle is the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor lives in the sky, which has 33 heavens.In the 8th chapter of Journey to the West, when Guanyin Bodhisattva lamented that Sun Wukong was making trouble in the heavenly palace, he wrote a poem "Invincible among a hundred thousand troops, there is majesty in the ninth heaven." From this we can know that the Jade Emperor lives in the ninth heaven.

The Jade Emperor lives in the Jinqueyun Palace in the Nine Heavens. He is the ruler of all gods and the only one called "Zhen" among all the gods. His office is called Lingxiao Palace.

Therefore, the Lingxiao Palace is also the imperial court of the Immortal Realm.The civil and military ministers in the imperial court are all senior managers among the gods, with prominent positions.Those heavenly soldiers and generals with low status, in fact, all came up from the mortals on the ground to become fairy queens.

The Jade Emperor is in charge of all the gods in the "three realms" of heaven, earth, and underground.

Among the gods in the sky, the highest status is Sanqing.

Sanqing is Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Daode Tianzun. The third Daode Tianzun in this row is Taishang Laojun, the head of the Taoist school, and is called "Taozu". Most Taoist gods are his disciples and grandchildren.

He lives on the top floor of the sky, 33 heavens, Lihentian.His office is called Tusita Palace.There is a gossip furnace in Tushita Palace, which not only produces pills, but also makes weapons.

It can be said that the Taishang Laojun is the teacher of the gods, and the Jade Emperor is the leader of the gods.When the Taishang Laojun came to the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor would personally run out to greet him.Therefore, the status of Taishang Laojun in the fairy world is very important. "

When Han Shuo finished speaking, he paused.

Netizens were also able to react because of this pause.

"I'm going, here."

"I'm drunk too. I thought the highest representative of Taoism was the Jade Emperor. I dared to quarrel for a long time. It's the Supreme Lord!"

"Pfft world view collapsed again, it turns out that this wretched little old man is a giant of Taoism!"

"I took a sedative again and again, haha, Teacher Han Shuo is always so unexpected, anyway, I will never speculate on Teacher Han Shuo's psychology again, because this is simply nonsense Let’s talk!”

While the netizens were having fun chatting, Han Shuo sat down and continued to make his astonishing remarks:
"The next thing I'm going to talk about is Buddhism. Let me ask first, what do you think of the sphere of influence of Buddhism? Compared with Taoism, which one is stronger or weaker?"

Netizens responded quickly.

"There are so many Buddhas in the West, they shouldn't be more successful than Taoism!"

"That's right, even if you can't surpass the Taoists in terms of strength, you may not be much weaker!"

"Everything upstairs is right, and I agree with it!"

Han Shuo saw that the answers given by the netizens were almost all wrong, and smiled slightly, "Actually, the power of Buddhism is far inferior to that of Taoism! Listen to my next explanation."

This guy didn't give everyone time to react, so he sent out a large paragraph of text:
"The influence of Taoism is distributed in the sky, and among all the gods on the earth, Tathagata Buddha should have the greatest mana power. He recruited many students and taught them the Dharma, so he is called "Buddha". He His office is called Leiyin Temple, which is on the top of Lingshan Mountain in Tianzhu Kingdom in Hezhou, Xiniu.

In the entire "Journey to the West", there is not a single Buddhist deity who lives in the sky.But Taoist gods exist in the sky and on the earth.Therefore, Tathagata Buddha is not the leader of all gods on the earth, he is just the leader of all Buddhist gods or monks on the earth.

So, in the entire world of immortals, what is the position of the Tathagata Buddha?

1. Chapter 7 of "Journey to the West" said that the Tathagata Buddha went to the sky "by hearing the edict".An edict is a document issued by the emperor to his ministers.Without the "edict", you can't just run up there casually.Therefore, Tathagata Buddha should be a subordinate of the Jade Emperor.

2. For the Heavenly Court, the ninth heaven is the political center of the immortal world, the 33rd heaven is the metropolis, the rest of the heavens are small cities, and the ground is the most remote area.Therefore, Tathagata Buddha can only be regarded as the princes and gods in remote areas at best, and his influence in the heaven is not very great.

3. Even on the ground, the Tathagata's influence is only a quarter, only Xiniu Hezhou.Even in Xiniu Hezhou, not all the gods are under his jurisdiction.There are also many who disagree with him.Therefore, the Tathagata's territory is actually very small.

Therefore, although the Tathagata Buddha has great magic power, he is only a god on the ground in the "lower realm", not a god in the heavenly palace in the "upper realm".The status is not high, the site is small, and it is far away from the central area of ​​the fairyland.Therefore, compared with his "Buddha" and "Taoist", he is really one on earth and one in heaven.

If you want to expand your influence and increase your worth, you have to come up with some methods.Moreover, the method must be kept secret.Otherwise, there will be conflicts with the Jade Emperor and the Taishang Laojun.

As a result, Tathagata implemented a series of plans and secretly competed with Taoist gods.The story of the struggle between Buddhism and Taoism began from then on. "
