MTL - I Became the Ancestor of the Villain-Chapter 498 On Buddhism
Chapter 498 On Buddhism
Wang Riyue, Xu Xing'er, and the others all cast their gazes over, pretending to be listening.
They have roughly understood the current situation, although they can't understand why Mo Fan is obsessed with perfecting these two people.
But I am also very curious, what kind of story Mo Fan will use to convince this Buddha-minded Yichen.
Mo Fan said slowly: "Once upon a time, a young and beautiful girl saw a young and handsome man, and the girl thought that man was the one she was waiting for.
It's a pity that she couldn't walk to that man's side, and watched him disappear into the crowd. In the next few years, the girl looked for the man everywhere, but the man seemed to have evaporated and disappeared without a trace.
From then on, the girl prayed to the Buddha every day, hoping to see the man she admired again. Her sincerity moved the Buddha, and the Buddha appeared.
Buddha asked: Do you want to see that man again? The girl said yes, I just want to see him one more time.
The Buddha said that you have to practice five hundred years of Taoism before you can see him. Don't you regret it? The girl said no regrets.
So the girl turned into a big rock, lying in the wilderness, exposed to the wind and sun for more than 400 years, suffering unspeakably, but the girl felt nothing. She couldn't see a little hope, which made her almost collapse. In the last year, a quarrying team came and hewn her into a huge boulder, which was transported into the city, and the girl became the guardrail of the stone bridge.
On the first day the stone bridge was built, the girl saw the man she had been waiting for for five hundred years! But he was in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry, and quickly passed the middle of the stone bridge.
Buddha asks if you are satisfied? The girl said it would be nice if I could touch him. The Buddha said that you still have to practice for five hundred years.
So the girl turned into a big tree again, standing on an official road with people coming and going, day by day passed, and on the last day, the girl knew that he would come, he was still wearing his favorite white gown, his face was still the same. So handsome, he didn't rush past, because it was too hot, he walked to the foot of the big tree, leaned against the tree root, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The girl touched him, but she couldn't tell him the thousand years of lovesickness. She could only try her best to gather the shade of the trees to block the harsh sunlight for him.
The man just took a nap, then stood up and patted the dust on the gown. Before leaving, he looked up at the big tree, and stroked the trunk slightly, probably to thank the big tree for helping him. Bring coolness. Then, he left without looking back!
Then Buddha asked again, do you want to hug him? If you want to hug him, you have to become a snowflake and wait for a thousand years.
The girl still said yes.
So she turned into a snowflake on the top of the snow mountain, waiting alone for a thousand years.
In this life, the man is a ginseng picker. When he came to pick ginseng on the snow mountain, he suddenly encountered an avalanche.
The snowflake that the girl turned into rolled down with countless snow, and it was about to drown the man.
As long as he is submerged, the girl can hug him.
But at this time, the girl begged the Buddha: I don’t want to hug him anymore, please don’t let him die in the snow!
The Buddha asked her why, isn't it just to hug him after a thousand years of penance? Why did you give up when you were about to succeed?
The girl said that I love him and want to hug him, but I don't want him to suffer any suffering, and I don't want him to suffer any harm.
The Buddha said that the outcome of the matter cannot be changed. If you insist on saving him, you will die instead of him, and you will be thrown into Avici Hell forever and cannot be reborn forever.
The girl finally agreed, and she endured the suffering in **** with a smile on her face. The man never knew the existence of this girl, and he was still reincarnated, living every life according to the trajectory prescribed by the Buddha. "
Speaking of Mo Fan's story, all the women present were in tears, and even the men felt a little bit sore.
He is telling a Buddhist story. He added some miserable elements and removed some willing elements, just to arouse the resonance of Yichen.
Sure enough, Yichen's face was covered with tears, and the Buddha's light on his body became increasingly dim.
He began to doubt his beliefs.
Mo Fan asked while the iron was hot: "Yichen, you Buddhists all say that the Buddha saves the world, so why is he unwilling to help this infatuated woman?"
Yichen's throat was a little hoarse: "Maybe, because Buddhism prohibits love, the Buddha wants to put an end to evil fate for them."
"Really?" Mo Fan sneered. "In your opinion, is the Buddha all empty and should not have love?"
"That's natural. The Buddha knows the present and the future. He only knows about good and bad luck. The Buddha is omnipotent." Yichen said firmly, as if he was cheering himself up, and it seemed that he was really cheering up his belief.
"Buddha is omnipotent? Then let me ask you, can Buddha have children?"
"You!" Yichen scolded Mo Fan for blaspheming the Buddha upon hearing the words, "Buddhism prohibits lust, so naturally you cannot marry a wife and have children."
"Then this is omnipotent?" Mo Fan asked disdainfully.
"The grains of the world will naturally stain the golden body, and ordinary love will only affect the Buddha's heart, which is not advisable!" The more Yichen talked, the more energetic he seemed, as if he was intoxicated in his own world.
"Hehe, looking at your skills, it seems that you came from Tianxuan Jinshan Temple?" Mo Fan suddenly changed the subject.
Yichen was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and nodded after a while: "That's right."
"Are there any offerings on the incense table in your Jinshan Temple?" Mo Fan asked.
"Of course there are, three animals and five grains." Yichen nodded.
"Since the Buddha didn't eat five grains, why did he offer these?" Mo Fan asked again.
Yichen was speechless, as he talked, it seemed that Mo Fan walked in.
"Even if the Buddha doesn't eat, he needs something to offer." Mo Fan said.
"If the world believes in Buddha and no one cultivates it, what should be offered to Buddha?"
"If there is no one in the world to marry, who will serve the Buddha?"
"If everyone in the world believes in Buddhism, how many people can become Buddhas?"
"If no one can become a Buddha, the world will cut off reproduction, leaving only the group of Buddhas to guard the primordial universe?"
Every word Mo Fan said hit Yichen's heart like a heavy hammer.
Each hammer knocked out deep cracks in Yichen's faith, almost collapsing.
"However, not everyone should believe in Buddhism, and our Buddhist school did not force it." Yichen argued strongly.
"Since this is the case, Buddhism did not force you to believe in Buddhism, why are you so firm?" Mo Fan said again.
"I was brought up by Buddhism since I was a child. I believe in Buddhism since I was a child. I can't be sorry to Buddhism or Buddha." Yichen explained.
"It doesn't mean that you must believe in Buddhism if you were raised by a Buddhist sect. Before your Buddha became a Buddha, you were still a generation of princes. He was raised by the state. Why didn't he lead the people to prosperity, but instead became a Buddha?"
Every sentence of Mo Fan is related to Buddhism, and every sentence is against Buddhism, but Yichen can't find a reason to refute it.
With Mo Fan's way of debating, it is also difficult for people to find a point of counterattack, because Yichen's state of mind is no longer satisfactory.
