Obviously, Jingxin heard the meaning of Yan Ning's words.

Yan Ning wanted to force him to admit that this mouse had "cause and effect".

After all, this mouse was frightened by the fact that he and Yan Ning were fighting the oil lamp in front of the Buddha. From the perspective of Buddhism, there has been cause and effect between this mouse and them.

However, Jingxin understood very well that if he said at this time, "This mouse has cause and effect," Yan Ning would definitely use the words he said before, "I am a Buddha" to ask him to transform this mouse.

How can a mouse pass?

This is a huge pit, so Zen Master Jingxin said bluntly, "The Buddha said: You cannot say it"!

But Yan Ning forced him to say it.

Jingxin can only say: "There is cause and effect in fate, but cause and effect may not necessarily be destined. Since this mouse has no fate, there will naturally be no cause and effect."

What this means is that I will not care whether there is cause and effect on this mouse. As long as it has no connection with the Buddha, then there will be no cause and effect on it.

It sounds a bit far-fetched, but it actually makes sense.

Simply put, although this mouse knocked over the oil lamp because of their defense, this cause and effect can be erased.

Because the ultimate fulfillment of the "fruit" is not in the mouse.

To put it bluntly...

The mouse knocked over the oil lamp, and the result was that the oil lamp was overturned. So, at this time, I just need to help the oil lamp up again, and everything will return to normal.

Therefore, although there is cause and effect, the "fruit" is on the lamp.

After seeing this through Jingxin, he used the sentence "Cause and effect may not necessarily lead to fate" with this mouse, so there will naturally be no problem.

"Okay, well argue!"

"There is cause and effect in fate. Without fate, there will naturally be no cause and effect. This is a wonderful saying!"

"yes!"

The masses immediately praised it.

However, Yan Ning shook his head at this time and sighed heavily.

"Oh, I thought the Zen master's heart was as calm as water, but in the end, the Zen master forced himself to say that "there is cause and effect may not be destined" for the sake of the victory or defeat of this Dharma. Isn't this contradictory to the Zen master's previous saying that "the cause and effect is cause and effect"?"

"The little marquis is shallow." Jingxin shook her head after hearing Yan Ning's words: "Although this mouse knocked over the oil lamp because of your and my defense, the consequence should not be on the mouse. I just need to lift the oil lamp up again, and everything will be restored to nature. Therefore, since the mouse and the Buddha have no fate, there will naturally be no cause and effect."

"What if I insist on saying that it has a destiny to be with the Buddha?" Yan Ning asked again.

"Where does the fate come from?" Jingxin asked.

"Because of the words of Zen master, it is destined to be." After Yan Ning said that, his finger pointed out to the temple.

"Swoosh!"

A 'sword energy' flew out.

The oil lamp that was originally knocked over was lit by this "sword energy", and the fall just so happened to cover the mouse.

"Squeak!"

The covered rat kept screaming.

The people around were all unaware of this, so they didn't quite understand why Yan Ning did this.

However, Jingxin's face suddenly changed, and there was no calm on his face, and even the eyes of Yan Ning changed.

"Little Marquis, you..." Jingxin obviously didn't expect Yan Ning to do this.

Because Yan Ning clearly was harming him.

He said that the mouse had no chance to be with the Buddha, so Yan Ning knocked over the oil lamp. Now the oil lamp traps the mouse, so it is naturally impossible to say that the fruit should be on the lamp.

Moreover, the most important thing is that this is due to him.

To put it bluntly, it is because of his words that the rat was punished and might even be trapped to death. This is a serious sin in Buddhism.

"Master Jingxin, does this mouse have cause and effect with you now?" Yan Ning's eyes narrowed.

"..."Calm your heart.

"It seems that the Zen master does not understand the real cause and effect. In fact, the mouse knocked over the oil lamp just now and had already suffered from the trap. You just need to admit that the mouse has cause and effect. However, you are worried about winning or losing in your heart and forcibly erase the cause and effect that has already occurred. Now the mouse is suffering from you and may be trapped in the oil lamp. May I ask Zen Master Jingxin, is this cause and effect big enough?" Yan Ning spoke again.

As soon as he said something, there was an uproar around him.

Everyone's eyes at Zen Master Jingxin almost changed.

"This is a big cause and effect!"

"This mouse actually became a disaster because of one sentence?!"

"There was no cause and effect at first, but now it has it!"

There was a lot of discussion among the masses.

Yuan Ming, Jin Chanzi and others naturally reacted. Not only them, but the gazes of the 108 monks sitting around were also looking at Jingxin at this moment.

Only Xiaoqing looked confused.

"Master, what does sir mean? The oil lamp was clearly knocked out by the teacher, why did this mouse and the monk have a cause and effect?" Xiaoqing asked Qianshanxue obediently.

"The theory of cause and effect does not refer to whom, but to whom. The mouse originally just knocked over the oil lamp and was not trapped. However, because Jingxin was unwilling to admit the cause and effect, she was eventually trapped in the oil lamp. This cause and effect naturally lies with Jingxin." Qian Shanxue replied after thinking about it.

"So that's the case, I understand... But, this Buddhism is too perplexing, right?" Xiaoqing nodded, but seemed a little unhappy.

“…”

But Jingxin fell silent on the futon in the field.

It is obvious that Yan Ning dug a big hole for him, but the defense is like this. Everyone argues about the law, so naturally, you will be cheated and I will go back.

"Jingxin, I'll ask you again, does this mouse have cause and effect?" Yan Ning spoke again.

"Yes!" Jingxin finally spoke.

"Do you have a fate?" Yan Ning nodded.

"I'm destined to do it." Jingxin gritted her teeth.

"Very good. Since this mouse is destined to you and you call yourself a Buddha, then please ask Zen Master Jingxin to cross this mouse to become a Buddha on the spot!" Yan Ning's mouth raised.

"..."Calm your heart.

Sure enough, as he expected, Yan Ning's purpose was here.

He guessed Yan Ning's purpose...

However, there was no way to stop Yan Ning from implementing this goal, and Yan Ning forced the trapped fruit of the mouse on his head.

Fly or not?

How to cross a mouse?

"Why didn't Zen Master Jingxin say anything? Didn't you just say 'All sentient beings are Buddhas'? Since you are a Buddha, all sentient beings can become Buddhas, then please send this mouse to become Buddhas?" Yan Ning spoke again.

"Swish!"

Jingxin stood up from the futon.

Then, he walked towards the temple with great strides.

I soon arrived at the oil lamp.

"I am merciful." Jingxin's face was solemn, and then carefully picked up the oil lamp from the ground, first wrapped the mouse inside with her sleeve, wiped the sesame oil on the mouse's body clean, and then released the mouse from the oil lamp.

"Squeak!"

The mouse that escaped from the trap immediately rushed towards the Buddha.

After a while, he rushed to the top of the Buddha's head, stood in the highest position, staring at a pair of black black eyes, looking down at Jingxin and everyone.

"I have crossed it out of the sea of ​​suffering, are you satisfied?" Jingxin finally turned around and looked at Yan Ning again when she saw this scene.

"Didn't Zen Master Jingxin understand what I said? I didn't let you pass it out of the sea of ​​suffering, but let you pass it into a Buddha." Yan Ning shook his head.

"My little marquis, how can I pass it into a Buddha?" Jingxin spoke again.

"Let this mouse have Buddha nature in his heart and is willing to return to Buddhism. Even if it cannot become a Buddha today, it can become a Buddha in the future!" Yan Ning answered bluntly without being vague.

"..." Jingxin looked back at the mouse.

On the Buddha's head, the mouse grinned with her teeth and made a squeaking sound at him.

Jingxin shook her head and sighed.

If you have not enlightened your spiritual wisdom, you cannot be taught or educated. How can you have Buddha nature and be willing to return to Buddhism? This is simply impossible.

"The little marquis is no longer a debate, but is deliberately making things difficult, right?" Yuan Ming finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked Yan Ning.

"Haha." Yan Ning smiled softly, ignored Yuan Ming at all, but continued to ask Jingxin: "Zen Master Jingxin, may he be able to become a Buddha?"

Jingxin still doesn’t speak, just stands in place.

The people around him shook their heads one by one. Such a request was indeed a bit too much and did not conform to the normal Buddhist defense.

Because in Buddhism, the Dharma only argues.
