"You can't say that. There are also many great masters in Buddhism who practice hard to be good, regardless of honor and disgrace, personal gains and losses, spend their whole life translating scriptures, spreading scriptures, knowing the meaning of the text, explaining the profound meaning, and expounding their literary principles. It is worthy of admiration and worship of the world. However, there are too many monks wearing monk's clothes and doing tricks to seize things. Extravagance is better than kings and princes. That is the evil spirit of ghosts. The saints say that people can spread the Tao, but not the Tao spreads people. According to my opinion, it is not the bad law to harm others, but the bad people harm others!"

He Ru is too extreme in dealing with things, and those who don’t like them are often beaten to death with one stick, while Xu You is more rounder than him. He likes to analyze the crux of the problem dialectically. For example, the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have their own advantages and disadvantages from the perspective of doctrine alone. It is just that the same thing is to raise hundreds of people. There are many people in the teachings, and the good and bad are uneven. As for the same sentence, people can spread the Tao, but not the Tao, and any doctrine needs to be implemented, improved, promoted and sublimated. In this process, once the human hearts are deviated, the image of the sect that ultimately presents to the world will undergo great changes and differences from the origin.

Standing behind him, An Yao felt thoughtful. Xu You's words sounded ordinary at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, you always feel enlightened. Zuo Qi and An Yao felt the same, and admired him: "What your husband said is very true!"

Shanzong also nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice. He was not interested in Buddhist scriptures, but the words of Lord Huang were the truth. He must agree when it was time to agree.

Recently, I have made great progress in learning the natural classics jade recently, but I still hear things related to the principles and principles. My clear eyes flashed with dizzy little stars. I turned my head pitifully to look at Lu Shuang. Lu Shuang chuckled and leaned into her ear and whispered: "A few men have their own reasons for talking about Buddha. We just listen to it, don't worry about them!"

The winter solstice is not as sensible as Lushuang, and she knows some Buddhist allusions than the autumnal equinox. She makes a big face and tease He Ru, and laughs: "Your winged man, you come from the temple, but you are not as good as Xiao Lang, a person in the secular world, can see it thoroughly!"

"That may not be!" He Ru would not be angry. With Xu You as an example, Jingyuan's atmosphere was first and anyone could express his opinion. He smiled and said, "The Tathagata developed the world, and the original inaction was in the first place. Nothing was before the original transformation, and emptiness was the beginning of the form of many forms. This is the Buddhist doctrine that Zhu Daorong personally explained. However, among the many Buddhist scriptures unearthed, there are many magical records, but there is no source of the original inaction. Before this, there is no understanding. Who can prove that this is the original intention of Tathagata? Although people can spread the Tao, if even this "Tao" is false, the greater the power, the deeper the harm of people!"

If you argue about the authenticity, you will not understand it even after thirty years of argument. Xu You sighed: "You, as the saying goes, faith is spiritual. What the people want is only doctrines that meet their needs, rather than pursuing the authenticity of the doctrine. The original Wu Sect can dominate the Southern Buddhist Sect and suppress the other sects that are breathless, so there is naturally a reason for it!"

"Qilang, you are the theory of the winner, not the theory of the Tao!"

"The victory king defeats the enemy. Not only is history written by the victor, but it is also in the hands of the victor. Now the power of the Benwu Sect is great, and Zhu Daorong's doctrine represents the true meaning of Buddhism. When the power of the Benwu Sect is weak in the future and other sects will arise, their doctrine will replace the Puwu Sect. This is a trend and inevitable!"

In real time and space, after the Benwu Sect, the Three Treatises, the Dharma Xiang Sect, Tiantai Sect, Huayan Sect, Pure Land Sect, and Zen Sect each have been in the forefront. On the surface, it is the continuous development and change of Buddhist doctrines, but in essence it is the rise and fall of different sects within Buddhism. Whose doctrine is closer to the essence of Buddhism, and whose doctrine is more in line with the original intention of Sakyamuni? In fact, it is just one time and another, it depends on who has a great power, many beliefs, and widely spread.

A group of people chatted and walked. Although there were quite some arguments, Xu You and He Ru were both well-educated people, and An Yao’s talent was not much inferior. They often quoted classics and quoted widely, and joked from time to time, which made people not only not boring, but also enjoyed it, which was very interesting.

Suddenly, a few bells and chimes that cleansed their hearts sounded, and then they realized that they had arrived at the gate of the main hall. The dense believers came from all over the place to witness the grand occasion of the Buddha Bath Festival. Zuo Yu and others protected Xu You and others to squeeze in front and saw the monk wearing black nine-clothed ancestral robes standing in groups according to the east and west orders. The one in the center was Zhu Fayan, the prefect of Dade Temple.

After not seeing each other for many days, Zhu Fayan was thinner than when he was in the Qiantang Lake Yackeye. His eyes were dull and dark, and his body was old and weak. He seemed to fall to the ground when the wind blew.

But such a person is the most powerful monk in Jiangdong Buddhism under Zhu Daorong!

The bell rings again.

The monks bowed three times and walked out from the east and west. Two of them held the bell as a ritual. Two of them held the incense plate behind. Two of them stood around Zhu Fayan, and at the same time sang and chanted the statue of the birth of the prince, Sakyamuni Buddha, and invited the statue of the birth of the prince from the sutra tower to the main hall. Xu You watched the statue of the prince, and indeed pointed to the sky and the earth with one finger. He thought of the birth of the Buddha, and walked seven steps, pointed to the heaven and the earth, saying, "I am the only one in the sky and the earth." Nine dragons around him flew around and spit out water to bathe him. The scene was really magnificent, spectacular and gorgeous throughout the ages. There was no other one to compare.

Zhu Fayan burned incense, displayed his tools, and bowed. After three bows, a novice monk stood on the steps and signaled the believers in front of the palace to kneel down. Xu You and the others stood in front, and it seemed too eye-catching. He Ru's cold temperament said that what if he didn't kneel down, Xu You pulled him and whispered: "Kneeling on the heaven and earth, not kneeling on the Tathagata, and endure it, you must not cause trouble today!"

Just kidding, if there is a conflict with Dade Temple during the Buddha Bath Festival, from now on, it will be a mortal enemy with the entire Jiangdong Buddhist sect, and no one can afford the price.

He Ru understood the importance of this. He just tried his best and was not stubborn in his heart. He knelt down with Xu You in disappointment. Xu You was really ridiculous. He Ru knelt down many times when he was a monk in the Northern Wei Dynasty. But when he came to Chu, his resistance to Buddhism was so great, which was an exception!

Since the two of them knelt, the others would not have any objections. They shouted and roared in front of the statue of Prince Sakyamuni. The shining sang from the hall: "Come on your head and take refuge in the Great Awakening Lord, the supreme and benevolence, and see all living beings..."

It was obviously not the first time the believers outside the hall participated in the Buddha Bathing Festival, and they sang: "The palace has descended to the palace, and the snowy ridge is cultivated. The magpie nest top, three layers of trunks, and six years of asceticism. If a person converts to the Great Awakening Lord, he will not fall into despair."

The tone of the Brahma singing is different from usual speaking, with heavier bass and stronger nasal sounds, but it is full of penetration and infectiousness. Even though Xu You and others do not believe in Buddhism, they are also moved by the sincerity and respect from the heart of these thousands of believers.

This shows how powerful the influence of the Palm Church on people!

After the third singing, Zhu Fayan placed the statue of the prince on the bathing bed in the Lotus Golden Basin seat specially made in the middle of the hall, and recited the bathing mantra:

Oz, the bottom sand, the bottom sand, the bottom sand, the bottom sand, the Sangha, then hold a golden spoon in hand, pour in fragrant soup, and bathe in the prince's body.

Xu You smelled the fragrance in his nose and whispered: "What kind of soup is this? It's so fragrant?"

Speaking of Buddhist things, He Ru is most proficient in it, saying: "Use ox-headed sandalwood, white sandalwood, red sandalwood, Shenshui, Xunlu, Longnaoxiang, Lingling, and Huoxiang on the stone to grind it into incense mud, brew it with water and pour it into a golden basin, commonly known as Tianxiang Soup."

"Tianxiang Tang...a good name!"

After nine baths, Zhu Fayan sang another verse, and returned to his original position after wandering around the prince's statue for several weeks, and the ritual of bathing Buddha was basically over. For those believers who came from afar, the following activity was the real meaning of participating in the Bathing Buddha Festival. Before Xu You had time to get up, he was almost fallen by the crowd behind him. He relied on Zuo Qi and others to protect him. He moved to the pavilion pillar beside him with difficulty. Looking at the almost crazy crowd in front of him, he looked at the autumnal equinox and said, "What's wrong with them... what's wrong with them?"

"In order to ask for a drink of Buddha water, it is said that bathing Buddha water can eliminate all diseases and be carefree!" He Ru's eyes were filled with disdain and contempt, and said, "The Buddha really has such supernatural powers. Where can there be disasters and diseases in the world? It's just that fooling people and themselves are tempting people's hearts."

Before he finished speaking, four novice monks carried the golden plate to the corridor. Eighteen monks stood in a ball, and took a few spoons into the basin. To be precise, there were only a few drops in number and placed them in the palm of the believers in succession. Anyone who was lucky enough to receive the Tianxiang Soup immediately came to his mouth and stuck out his tongue to add it, fearing that he would miss the ground and affect his blessings. After licking, he knelt down again, and his pious posture seemed to have even given his soul to the Buddha. And those who had not received the Tianxiang Soup were all like a loss of their parents, lying on the ground and crying, which was even more sad than falling into the Avici Hell.

Xu You was a little shocked and speechless for a long time. Lu Shuang whispered: "Xiaolang, let's go. Stay here. I feel cold and uncomfortable!"

Zuo Qi couldn't help but say, "It's just a pot of spice-filled potion, why is it?"

He Ru did his best to mock his sarcasm and said, "For them, this is not an ordinary potion. The "Sutra of Bathing Buddha's Merits" records the Buddha's Dharma instructions in detail: If the person who receives soup can make the people of the human and heavenly being rich and happy, without illness and prolong life; if he wants to do everything, he will be satisfied; all relatives and friends will be at peace; if he has gone through the eight difficulties, he will always be suffering; if he does not receive a woman's body, he will quickly achieve enlightenment. Such good things do not have to suffer, nor do he have to practice hard. Just drink a sip of water, and he will be able to achieve enlightenment by one person, and he will not try his best to rob. How can he be worthy of the grace of today's Bathing Buddha Festival?"

The Winter Solstice was shocked and said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have never imagined that Buddhism has magical powers that make people lose their rationality. I'm afraid the Taoist Tao of Heavenly Master is not as good as..."
