Chapter 159 Bodhisattva and Buddha are the Tao, understand ()
Yang Yu was almost speechless when asked by Bodhisattva Xinde, but he still bit the bullet and refuted.
After all, it’s not OK to not refute!
Not to mention that he also wanted to find a wife to live a marriage life, just talk about his style.
Now he has two knives in his head. If he shaves his hair again, Yang Yu can really play the legend of Nezha like an adult.
"Although I haven't registered, I still have this belief...so I don't plan to change my religious beliefs anymore..."
Seeing that Yang Yu refused him decisively, Bodhisattva Xinde was not angry but smiled and said, "Can you tell me what the donor believes in? We can discuss it..."
Yang Yu was a little annoyed by Xinde's repeated questions. In order to calm down, she took out a box of Magic Donkey brand cigarettes.
He handed him a skeleton to Bodhisattva Xinde, but he refused, then lit it himself and took a deep breath, slowly vomiting it out.
A dark green smoke spread in the cab. Yang Yu made a decision, since this Bodhisattva wants to talk, let’s talk!
"Bodhisattva...I believe in the Tao!"
"Dao... Is it something that is believed by those immortal cultivators or qi-cultivators?"
Bodhisattva Xinde asked curiously, after all, there are many religions in the source universe, and those practitioners who practice immortality and qi also have the beliefs of their own sects.
Yang Yu mentioned by Bodhisattva Xinde has also seen it on his tablet computer, but these are all religions from the source universe, such as the Heavenly Taoism and the Great Dao Sect, although they have the meaning of Tao.
However, they all transform the Tao into gods and demons, and processed it with the fantasy of life bodies, which is somewhat similar to the Buddhist beliefs.
However, Yang Yu shook his head. What he wanted to talk about was not religion, but Tao! It was just Tao!
"The way I talk about is not that way, the way I believe is the way!"
This incomparable explanation made Bodhisattva Xinde stunned. He seemed to have returned to the time when he asked Yang Yu what Buddha was.
But now, the offensive and defensive convergence has become Yang Yu asking!
Although he was just talking to himself, the Bodhisattva Xinde felt that he was asked questions for no reason.
"What is Tao?"
Yang Yu let out a loud voice, and then without waiting for the Bodhisattva Xinde to reply, he spoke in detail, "Tao, in my opinion, is the life body used for understanding nature for oneself, the trajectory or trajectory of all things, and the place for changes and movement of things."
"Everything is not something that makes oneself like this, just like the sun and the moon are not lit, but they emit light. The stars are not arranged, but they have their own order. The beasts are not made by man, but they are born. The wind is not fanned, but they flow, and the water is flowing... and so on, the endless things are all things that are originally like this."
"Because everything, all things, follow something without exception. That kind of thing is the foundation of change!"
"It is neither born nor destroyed, invisible and without images, no beginning or end, everything is included, its big is not outside, its small is not inside, it changes through mistakes, and it will never change forever!"
"We forced a name to add a name to this kind of thing that had no name to him - Dao!"
Bodhisattva Xinde was amazed by Yang Yu's words that pointed directly at the root and were full of philosophical words.
This is very different from the Buddha he has been in contact with. His curiosity was successfully mobilized, "So in your opinion, is there any representative figure of Taoism? Just like the various Buddhas I teach, are there any scriptures to read?"
Yang Yu shook his head, "If it were those various characters who were mythologically stolen by later generations, I hadn't learned about them in detail, because that was not my pursuit."
"Oh! If there is no clear guidance from the sages, how can you get started with the cultivation?"
Facing the question from the Bodhisattva Xinde, Yang Yu looked at him in surprise, "Why do you need to practice? What I pursue is only to understand the Tao itself, not to practice immortality and qi. I see that many practitioners put the cart before the horse, and the purpose of practicing is to understand the Tao!"
Bodhisattva Xinde nodded, "It is true. Our practice of Buddha is indeed the Buddha itself, and our strength is nothing more than a product."
After a pause, Bodhisattva Xinde asked a sharp question, "Then... according to what you see, which is better, Tao or Buddha. Or, is there any comparison between superiority and inferiority?"
The problem of the Bodhisattva Xinde made Yang Yu feel a little headache. He should not say this randomly. If it is not done properly, it will cause the Bodhisattva to be dissatisfied and he will not be punished.
After thinking about it, Yang Yu still spoke, after all, it was a little scarier than being shaved her head.
"In fact, in my opinion, Tao and Buddha are both living beings' understanding of everything in the world, but their respective focus is different."
"What the Buddha emphasizes is to save all sentient beings from the inside, from the inside out, and to drive changes in others from the inside, and finally achieve the result of cognitive changes in the world."
"The Tao is different. You can directly abandon yourself, directly understand the growth and development rules of all things in the world, and pursue the essence of all things. From the outside to the inside, through exploration, you can naturally sublimate yourself in the process!"
"So, Buddha nature precepts, Tao follows nature. According to my nature, I think Tao is more suitable for me."
"...Buddha nature precepts, Tao follows nature." Bodhisattva Xinde whispered this sentence, and his thoughts were impacted.
This is something he had never thought about before, because Buddhism emphasizes saving oneself and others, and the Tao Yang Yu said gave him the feeling that everything has its own natural laws.
Birth, old age, sickness and death, love, hate and separation, do not need to intervene too much, let it develop, just let it go.
However, this will bring about another problem, that is, if this thing develops in a bad direction, do you want to stop it?
Bodhisattva Xinde rubbed his forehead that was a little painful and asked this question.
Yang Yu glanced at the Bodhisattva Xinde who was thinking hard, and his mouth raised slightly, "Stop it? Why should I stop it, why not stop it?"
"Don't think too much about everything, just do it naturally, just let it go. If you want to stop it, stop it, and if you don't want to, just let it go."
"Because protecting one thing will inevitably hurt another thing, even gods and Buddhas, it is impossible to solve things perfectly. Otherwise, there would be no story of feeding eagles with one's body."
Bodhisattva Xinde was a little dazed. He had also heard of this story. In order to save a pigeon under the eagle's claws, the Buddha voluntarily replaced the pigeon to feed the eagle with his body.
Now that I think about it, the Buddha has no other way. If he wants to save the pigeon, he will inevitably leave the eagle without food, and the eagle will kill if it dies.
If you don't save it, the pigeon will die.
In order to save both sides, the Buddha chose to replace the pigeon with himself. This spirit is of course valuable and can be said to be fearless.
There is a lot of the atmosphere of who will go to hell if I don’t go to hell, but is that right?
If the Buddha killed himself, isn’t this killing?
Bodhisattva Xinde suddenly felt that he had entered a vicious circle of thinking logic, as if he had entered the circle of Maibius.
There is no beginning and no end, and there is never a way out.
Seeing the Xinde Bodhisattva who kept rubbing his head and could grab a lot of hair if he had hair, Yang Yu sighed.
Who says that Bodhisattvas do not have obsessions? Saving all sentient beings is their greatest obsession!
Otherwise, the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha back then would not have made a great wish to go to hell to vow not to become a Buddha without empty space.
The size of this obsession can shake the world...
Seeing the Bodhisattva Xinde was in a state of confusion and pain, Yang Yu felt a little reluctant. Was it because he was too aggressive to apply medicine?
If this Bodhisattva gets into obscene because of this philosophical problem, it is estimated that the believers of Buddhist religious organizations will not give them good looks.
So he decided to make a joke, "That... Actually, you don't have to worry too much about these. There is a saying in my hometown: Tao is also Buddha, Buddha is also Tao, Buddha is originally a family of Tao..."
Hearing Yang Yu's voice, Bodhisattva Xinde suddenly stopped rubbing his head and whispered to himself, "Buddha Tao is a family, Tao is also Buddha, Buddha is also Tao... Buddha is originally Tao..."
"Boom--" It seemed as if a thunderclap exploded in the head of Bodhisattva Xinde, and his eyes became brighter.
"Buddha is the Tao...Buddha is the Tao..."
Listening to him muttering to himself, Yang Yu's face looked even worse than crying. Mamadi, he had never said this!
This brain circuit...
How did he realize it!
