Everyone Kneeled to
Zen Buddha, This Was the Most Wonderful Part of the Temple Fair.
Amongst them was the contest between those who participated in Zen and those who participated in Buddhism.
There were some people in the world who only believed in Zen and not Buddhism.
At the same time, there was also a group of people who only believed in Buddhism and not Zen.
For thousands of years, the two sects of Zen and Buddhism had never stopped fighting each other.
The temple fair this time happened to bring together the annual contest between Zen and Buddhism. It could be said that between the two sects, Zen had basically won. Buddhism had never won once. This year, the representative of China was hailed as the most outstanding master in the past hundred years. Because of this, this time, it had become quite interesting.
When Tang Qing arrived at the scene, it was packed with people. Countless people were watching the debate between the Zen Buddha and the Buddha.
Due to their identities, they did not find a place to stand like the crowd. Instead, they sat by the side of the arena.
At this moment, the contest between the two factions had reached a white-hot stage, and many believers watched quietly. It was because the master who came this time was very powerful. It was as if he had memorized every word he said. Moreover, every sentence was reasonable, and the meaning behind it was very simple.
Buddhism was just a part of Zen. Understanding the principles of the human world and educating all living beings, what was the meaning of Buddha's words?
When the Shaolin masters heard this, they began to look bitter.
This was because the other party's question was not something he had thought of. From ancient times until now, countless mighty figures and virtuous people had asked this question.
"Since you believe in Buddhism, is there a Buddha in this world?”
This question was difficult to solve. It was very simple. You said there was Buddha, but where was Buddha?
It was as if the Saint Buddha was alive but had never seen him before. You said there was a paradise, so I asked where it was? If it was in the sky, why was there only a vast universe in the sky?
If you said it was in the extreme west, then sorry, the extreme west was still here because the earth was round.
Therefore, the only answer to this question was that there was no Buddha in the world at all. It was just some religious figures made up to increase their persuasiveness.
When the audience heard this, they all wanted to say something to refute it, but they really couldn't think of any rebuttal. Even the grandmasters could only look down and didn't dare to answer this question.
They knew that the questions they answered represented the Buddhist culture of China. If they said anything wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Abbot Buhui believed that he was gifted and knew more about Buddhism than he did.
However, he did not know what to say when faced with this problem. In fact, when he was seven years old, he had asked his master this question. Everyone was curious. When faced with a question, who wouldn't ask?
However, ever since he discovered this problem, he had never heard anyone explain it. Even though he had read countless Buddhist scriptures, he had never seen an explanation.
This was like an unsolved mystery of the world. It clearly existed, but it could not be explained no matter what.
After the Indian master saw that the Shaolin team was silent, he immediately laughed.
"So, there is no Buddha, only Zen. Life is a never-ending meditation. If you comprehend it, you will progress. If you don't, you will stop. It is time to announce the results of this Buddha Debate!”
In the past, every time he debated Buddhism, when this question was asked, it was basically the end of the meeting.
When the audience saw this, they shook their heads in disappointment. Following that, they all came over with hope, but in the end, they still lost.
In the live broadcast room, most of the people were here to watch the show. When they heard the other party's question, they all cursed at him for being shameless. Then, they started to push the blame to Master Buhui.
"Before the competition, you were in high spirits, but after the competition, you were in a sorry state
."”
"Master, I'm also very angry!!”
"The facts have proven that there is no Buddha!”
"Sigh, every year, we lose face. I really don't know why we have to hold such a meeting every time we lose face.”
"As for the national football team, Master has already done his best!”
"Believe in Jesus and you will have eternal life!"
"I believe in your MG tits!"
.......
The failure of the Buddhist culture team meant that it was not a dispute between Buddhism and Zen. It meant that the credibility of China's Buddhist culture. This was a battle that concerned the country's honor, but they lost every year. Even the Religious Affairs Bureau said that they would find a way to stop this kind of competition. After the previous years, they would cancel this kind of competition.
Shaolin Master Bu Hui shook his head. He put his hands together and prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded. When this voice sounded, the Indian master was stunned on the spot. Everyone present was extremely quiet.
"Bodhi is not a tree, and a mirror is not a platform.”
"Originally there was nothing, where did the dust come from?”
The buddha is the existence of a person who believes in buddha. He is willing to sacrifice himself to save a person. A Buddhist would rather starve himself to give the steamed bun in his hand to a child. A Buddhist would donate all his property to society after his death. The existence of Buddha was never visible to the naked eye, but whether Buddha existed in one's heart. If there was Buddha in one's heart, there would be Buddha everywhere in the world. If there was no Buddha in one's heart, how could there be Buddha?”
The voice came from Tang Qing's mouth. When these words slowly spread out, the entire place had long fallen silent.
All the Shaolin masters closed their eyes and began to understand Tang Qing's words. They seemed to have caught something, but they also felt that nothing had happened.
After the Indian master heard this, he immediately sat on the ground and entered a meditative state!
Everyone was stunned. They all looked at Tang Qing in shock.
In fact, when Tang Qing heard the other party's question during the Buddhist debate, he felt that this question was child's play. If it was in their world, this question would have been answered long ago.
However, China had lost!!
He couldn't understand this. Then, when he flipped through his phone and searched for information, he realized that Buddhism in this world was still at the bottom. The reason for this was due to historical issues. Countless mighty figures 'Buddhist scriptures were not passed down.
For this reason, he stood up and made a beautiful interpretation of this problem that had been entangled in Buddhism for thousands of years.
A few minutes later, the Indian master and the Shaolin master opened their eyes. Then, the Indian master did something shocking.
He quickly walked to the bottom of the platform and came in front of Tang Qing. Then, he immediately performed the greatest Buddhist etiquette and prostrated himself on the ground!
At the same time, the Buddhist masters also arrived in front of Tang Qing and performed the same etiquette.
Facing four or five masters prostrating themselves in front of him, Tang Qing couldn't keep his face. These people who were a circle older than him, what was the point of kneeling in front of him?
"The Zen Sect has lost. No, it should be said that the Zen Sect will never have a chance to win again in the future!”
After the Indian master finished kneeling, he said this slowly and left without looking back. He was mysterious, but the audience didn't care!!
What kind of concept was it to make a Zen master so certain with just a few words?
"Don't kneel, don't kneel!"
Tang Qing did not care about the Indian master's situation and immediately helped the Shaolin masters up.
"Benefactor Tang, there's no need to dissuade us. You deserve our respect!”
"All Shaolin monks, listen up and kneel in front of Master Tang!”
Master Bu Hui dissuaded Tang Qing from doing so and immediately shouted. Immediately after, the 137 monks of Shaolin put down the chores in their hands and knelt down one by one.
Tang Qing didn't know what he meant by that.
He answered a question that had been lingering around Buddhism for thousands of years. At the same time, he also explained the definition of Buddha. Buddha was in the heart, and everything was Buddha.
What Tang Qing didn't know was that if his words were to appear in the Tang Dynasty, the entire country would probably kneel down to him. Now, it was just a hundred monks kneeling down to thank him.
