Chapter 1490 Tang Monk Contradicts Tathagata Buddha
"Master, let's go!" Zhu Gangxi said carelessly. After all, if Tang Seng didn't leave, they couldn't possibly walk in front of him.
Tang Monk nodded. He was also shocked by the scene of Lingshan. Of course, now he had turned around and walked in front. Sun Wukong and others walked behind him, climbing up to Lingshan, passing by many Bodhisattvas and Arhats. Palace, but never stayed.
Along the way, we also met many Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and even the Buddha from the East, the future Buddha. We chatted for a few words and then continued on our way.
Finally, we came to the Great Leiyin Temple and walked inside. The four guardian kings guarded the gate, and then the eight Vajras stood on both sides holding weapons. Before going, five hundred Arhats were sitting on the main hall, as well as hundreds of Bodhisattvas, and some Lord Buddha.
The Tathagata Buddha sat on the golden lotus of the ninth rank meritorious deeds. He was extremely majestic. He saw Tang Monk and his disciples entering the temple with a smile on his face and approval in his eyes. It was not easy to cross the continent and reach Lingshan Mountain with a mortal body after going through many hardships.
"Tang Xuanzang, a man from the Eastern Tang Dynasty who worshiped Buddha and sought scriptures, enters the hall." An Arhat's voice sounded, and all the Arhats and Bodhisattvas looked towards the door of the hall.
In an instant, Tang Seng felt that he had received the attention of everyone, but now Tang Seng could be considered to have experienced great storms, and he was not too timid in facing the attention of everyone, and walked directly to the seat of Tathagata Buddha.
"Disciple Xuanzang, in accordance with the decree of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the East, went to Baoshan Mountain to pray for the true scriptures in order to benefit all living beings. I hope that I, the Buddha, will be kind and grant me a return to my country as soon as possible." Tang Monk knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
Tathagata Buddha looked at Tang Seng. Although Tang Seng was the only one who knelt down, and Sun Wukong and others were standing, he was not angry. Although they were Tang Seng's disciples, they represented major powers. It would be inappropriate if they did not bow to him. It should.
"Your eastern land is Nanfanbuzhou. It's just because the sky is high and the sky is high, the things are vast and the people are dense. There is a lot of greed, a lot of killing, a lot of adultery, a lot of deceit, a lot of deception. You don't follow Buddhism, you don't pursue good deeds, you don't respect the three lights, and you don't value grains. .
Being unfaithful and unfilial, being unjust and unkind, hiding one's innermost feelings from one's own self, having a big fight with a small one, and killing animals. He has committed endless sins and is full of sins, causing disasters in hell. Therefore, he will fall into the netherworld forever, suffer the pain of being pounded and pounded by many hammers, and transform into an animal.
There are many shapes with hair and horns, paying debts with their bodies and feeding people with their meat. It is for this reason that he will always fall down to Abi and never be able to ascend.
Although Confucius established the teachings of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and wisdom, and the emperors successively punished those who were idle and hanged, how can they be like those who are ignorant and indulgent? Now I have the Tripitaka, which can transcend suffering and explain disasters.
Tripitaka: There is a Dharma and a storehouse for talking about heaven; there is a treatise for a storehouse for talking about the earth; there is a sutra for a storehouse for saving ghosts. There are thirty-five volumes in total, totaling fifteen thousand one hundred and forty-four volumes. It is truly the path to cultivation, the door to righteousness and goodness, and all the astronomy, geography, characters, birds and beasts, flowers and trees, utensils, and human affairs of the four major continents of the world are recorded. You have come from afar, and I want everything to be given to you and taken away. But the people there are stupid villagers who slander the truth and do not know the secret purpose of my ascetics. "
After Tathagata Buddha said something, Tang Monk's expression changed, and he said frankly: "If there is no Buddhist teaching in the world, and people don't know etiquette and filial piety, how can they be human beings? Therefore, I don't agree with the Buddha's words."
As for the Tathagata Buddha's other words that disparaged the Tang Dynasty in Nanzhan Province, Tang Seng didn't say anything anymore, but it was not okay to talk about Confucianism in this way. In any case, although Tang Seng was a Buddhist, Confucianism was also better than Confucianism. He just To be fair.
Without Confucianism, how can people determine human relations? If we continued to follow the human relations established by the ancient sage emperor Xuanjun and the ancient Fuxi family, I am afraid that the human race would have been in chaos long ago. That's why Tang Monk refuted the words of Tathagata Buddha, belittled other teachings, and praised his own teachings. In fact, Why is it wrong!
"Buddhist Monk, how dare you act so arrogantly in the main hall!" Fuhu Arhat shouted loudly and glared at Tang Monk, tightly grasping the Demon Subduing Pestle in his hand.
"I think you are so impudent. If you dare to speak like this to my master again, your soul will be driven to pieces unless you never leave the Great Thunder Sound Temple for the rest of your life." Sun Wukong immediately took a step towards Crouching Tiger Arhat, with fire in his eyes.
"That's right, if you dare to say another disrespectful word, my nine-tooth rake will not care who you are!" Zhu Gang glared at the Crouching Tiger Arhat.
Although Sha Wujing didn't speak, he and Xiao Bailong looked at the Fuhu Arhat in front of them coldly. If they dared to say another disrespectful word, then don't blame them for taking action in the main hall.
Tang Seng saw that all his disciples had stood up, and he was very pleased. In this hall, not a single disciple was timid, they were all protecting him.
"Wukong, you are not allowed to be rude in front of Buddha, please step back." Tang Monk said to Sun Wukong and others, asking them to retreat behind him. In this case, this is a Buddhist holy land, and it is not suitable to be too ugly.
"Wukong and the others were just rude and asked the Buddha to forgive me, but there is something wrong with what the Buddha said. If the Tripitaka Sutra teaches people to be unfilial, to respect teachings and to put their parents first, then the young monk may not take this sutra!" Tang Monk He bowed again to Tathagata Buddha.
In the heart of the Tathagata Buddha at this time, that was the real overturning of the five-flavor bottle. It was not the same taste! He just said some decent words about Buddhism, but Tang Monk caught the inappropriateness in it. If the Confucian saint Kong Xuan knew about this, it would be another turmoil.
"There is no such meaning in the scriptures. You can rest assured. If you send the Tripitaka scriptures to the Eastern Tang Dynasty, you can return to Daleiyin Temple and accept the title." Tathagata Buddha did not want to say more at this time. I have already done one wrong thing first, how can I say more.
"Little monk, I obey." Tang Monk said respectfully, without any disrespectful behavior. This is the Great Thunder Sound Temple, and the person in front of him is the ancestor of ten thousand Buddhas.
"Ananda Kassapa, you take Tang Monk to the Sutra Pavilion to receive the Tripitaka Sutra. Don't make things difficult." Tathagata Buddha said solemnly.
The two venerable Ananda Kassapa came out and made a gesture of invitation to Tang Monk. Then Tang Monk saluted Tathagata Buddha, and then left the main hall and followed Ananda Kasyapa to the Sutra Pavilion. .
When he arrived at the door of the Sutra Pavilion, Ananda Kasyapa stopped, turned around and looked at Tang Monk. He did not speak, but just made gestures, rubbing his index and middle fingers with his thumb.
Seeing this scene, Tang Seng was a little confused. He didn't understand this gesture. Sun Wukong, Sha Wujing and others behind him also didn't understand it. The only one who understood it, Zhu Bajie, had a dark expression on his face.
"Master, they are looking for personnel for you." Zhu Gangxi said directly and loudly.
"Personnel affairs? Huh, we have worked so hard to learn from this, but you two bald donkeys dare to ask us for personnel affairs. Are you going to beat us?" Sun Wukong shouted loudly, and a golden cudgel appeared in his hand.
