Chapter 823 The Difference Between Buddhism and Taoism

In the end, Qin Feng did not choose to leave directly.

Since he was kindly invited, he has nothing to worry about. After thinking about it, he decided to stay for a while, to see the grand occasion of Buddhism, to see the magical powers of Buddhism, and by the way, he can ask these Buddhist masters about "Fudo Ming Wang" The practice method of Heart Sutra.

Regarding Qin Feng's willingness to ask them about Buddhist cultivation methods, Venerable Huijue and others were surprised at first, and then a little happy at random.

It seems that this Man of Destiny still has some fate with Buddhism!

Although they didn't dare to bring Qin Feng into Buddhism, it would be good to let a future golden fairy get close to Buddhism.

Although Qin Feng quickly stated that he was not practicing himself, but asking for the spirit beast under his command, Venerable Huijue and others didn't pay much attention to it, and even asked Qin Feng to summon the spirit beast to speak directly to them. more earnings.

In terms of the inheritance of exercises, Buddhism is different from Taoism's self-preservation. Buddhism is open to convenience and is willing to spread Buddhism all over the world, allowing the world to practice at will.

This is not because Buddhism is more magnanimous than Taoism, but for another reason.

The masters of Taoism attach great importance to the inheritance of their own exercises. After all, these exercises contain their years of hard work and insights, and they don't want to teach inhumane people, and they don't want to teach a murderer who will cause harm to the world.

Otherwise, even if the Taoist sect is far less concerned with cause and effect than the Buddhist sect, the master will be implicated in various ways because of the apprentice's evil deeds.

Therefore, the Taoist sect has always been very cautious about accepting disciples. First of all, fate is the most important thing, followed by character, and then root bones. After various inspections, they will be admitted to the sect.

This is still the practice of ordinary small sects and casual cultivators.

However, the sects with certain powers have a thorough investigation of the origins of the disciples. Before they enter the inner sect, they have passed many tests in the outer sect. Only those who have the opportunity to participate in the outer sect competition pass the assessment and enter the inner sect.

Even a large sect like the Beast Sect, even when entering the inner sect, will still go through all kinds of tests in the open and in the dark, to avoid some spies with evil personalities or concealing their identities.

And after entering the inner sect, whether they can be accepted by the elders of the inner sect, or just be given the title of inner sect disciple and be taught by the elders of the Dharma transmission hall, depends on their chances.

Once accepted by an elder, it will become a master-student relationship closer than that of father and son. The master will teach his disciples wholeheartedly and cultivate them into talents. If he can teach a fairy who can achieve the Dao of Longevity, it will be even more honorable. A sense of accomplishment.

Although this method of inheritance has many rules, it is the consistent style of Taoism from ancient times to the present, and it can avoid misleading children to the greatest extent!

Taoism is strict in accepting disciples because it is easier to practice Taoist exercises. Step by step, each stage is clearly marked, and each realm is clearly distinguished. Under the inheritance of various magical skills and secret methods, this has allowed countless geniuses to emerge in every generation of the Taoist sect!

But Buddhism is different.

The first priority of Buddhist exercises is comprehension!

Even before practicing formal Buddhist exercises, they have to recite Buddhist scriptures first, and comprehend a supernatural power from Buddhist scriptures before they can formally practice Buddhist exercises. Then switch to repair.

But after all, the transferees are not Buddhist disciples with strong roots. In addition, the foundation has been established, and the future potential is definitely not as good as that of Buddhist disciples who have truly cultivated from the bottom, so they are not on the right path!

Only one heart to Buddha,

Only those who are pure and intelligent can comprehend the true meaning of Buddhism early and step into practice!

It's just that there are many mediocre people in the world, and those who are born with extraordinary intelligence only account for a very small part. Therefore, it is very difficult for people to understand the true meaning of Buddhism with only a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures.

If one is enlightened, although it cannot be said to reach the sky in one step, it can be regarded as having truly entered the cultivation system of Buddhism.

But if you don't understand it thoroughly, then even if you spend your whole life in the blue lantern ancient Buddha, you will not achieve any achievements in cultivation, and you will only be turned into a handful of loess in the end, and your soul will return to the underworld!

If the heart towards the Buddha is firm enough, and after decades of hard work, he has cultivated a little bit of Buddhist supernatural powers, but because he is old and unable to achieve any more achievements in this life, after the end of his life, he may be killed by someone else. A ray of Buddha's light protects their souls and leads them to reincarnate through the pagoda, live a new life, and continue to practice hard.

There are many eminent Buddhist monks who have been reincarnated again and again, and then they have accumulated a lot of money in a certain life, comprehending the true meaning of Buddhism in one fell swoop, becoming eminent monks and great virtues, and even directly cultivating into a golden body is not impossible!

It is because the Dharma is too difficult to comprehend, so the Buddhists will open the door of convenience, allowing the Buddhist exercises to spread outside, and even they will take the initiative to spread it, in order to attract more people to practice.

Even if they don't enter a temple, they build a Buddhist hall at home and recite Buddhist scriptures, as long as they have cultivated Buddhist supernatural powers, these people are considered Buddhist disciples.

The cultivation of Buddhist skills has always been related to the heart of the Buddha. After tasting the sweetness, if you want to continue to study, you can only continue to study Buddhist scriptures, and gradually fall into it, unable to extricate yourself, and eventually become a member of Buddhism !

Buddhism opens the door of convenience and accepts people from all directions.

Even non-human existence is accepted!

For example, those monster races, if they have a heart for Buddha, they can also enter the eight guardian dragons and practice Buddhist supernatural powers!

Another reason why it is so different from Taoism is that there is only one supreme being in Buddhism: Amitabha!

Although there are countless strong Buddhists and Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have their own believers, the ultimate spiritual belief is Amitabha!

Therefore, no matter how many temples the Buddhism spreads out, or how many Bodhisattvas and Buddhas’ dojos, they are like a forked palm. When scattered, the five fingers stretch out in different directions, but when they are closed, they can condense into a powerful fist.

But Taoism is different, although everyone is chanting the immeasurable celestial being, but there is more than one celestial being in Taoism!

Tracing back to the source, many Taoist sects inherit the exercises from different patriarchs.

Even apart from the few Heavenly Venerables who established the religion, there are countless great powers, ancestors, and even immortals from all walks of life who have passed down countless methods.

This is also the reason why Taoism, apart from those orthodox traditions, has three thousand sects and eight hundred heresies!

Unlike Buddhism, at most it can be divided into Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism.

But from another point of view, this also shows the strength of Daomen!

It is because it is too powerful that it is so scattered that the Taoist sects can never be unified and condensed into a rope.

But they don't need to be twisted into one strand, they can be twisted into many strands, otherwise the rope may not be easy to use if it is too thick!

Venerable Huijue is an orthodox Buddhist practitioner, so he doesn't mind at all if outsiders want to practice Buddhism. As long as they don't steal the core inheritance of their Daguangming Temple, then there is no problem.

So not only was he willing to explain Buddhism to Qin Feng, but he even took the initiative to ask Qin Feng to summon the Bright Dragon to listen to him, which would be good for the dragon's future cultivation.

Now that people have already said so, how could Qin Feng be polite, and directly summoned Bailong.

Bailong turned into a human form, and after saluting Venerable Huijue and several other Buddhist masters, he carefully sat behind Qin Feng.

It doesn't matter if you're not careful, it's only in the demigod realm, and which one of the existences in the temple isn't stronger than it?

Even among the few young monks waiting outside the hall, two of them are not weaker than it, how dare it play tricks here?

So early on, he withdrew his dragon prestige and turned into a tall woman with a pure aura, sitting cross-legged like Qin Feng with a cute and respectful face.

After some explanations, Bailong really benefited a lot.

"Fudo Mingwang Heart Sutra" can be regarded as the top-level inheritance even among the various cultivation methods of Buddhism. If you put your whole body and mind into it, you may have the opportunity to cultivate to the Bodhisattva realm in the future.

It's a pity that Bailong's talent is bright, and he has already cultivated to the state of demigod. In addition, Qin Feng still needs him to comprehend the more advanced law of light, so of course he is not allowed to completely switch to Buddhist exercises.

It is precisely because of his concurrent cultivation, and the concurrent cultivation of the Fudo Ming Wang Xinhuo supernatural power, that Bailong does not need to have a thorough understanding of Buddhism.

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for a giant dragon from another world to comprehend the profound meaning of Buddhism that is difficult for many monks to comprehend.

Now it is relatively easy to just learn from the Buddhist practice of "Fudo Mingwang Heart Sutra" and integrate one of its magical powers.

Under the narration of Venerable Huijue, and in the explanation of Qin Feng's use of the Chance Curse to perform the art of mind transmission, the two-pronged approach soon allowed Bailong to comprehend the essence of it, and understood the principle of cultivating the immovable king's heart fire supernatural power. trick.

According to Venerable Huijue's narration, a bit of enlightenment slowly rose in my heart, and my body unconsciously began to operate according to the method of Fudo Ming Wang's heart-fire supernatural power.

Then there was a soft sound, and a wave of vigorous heat radiated from it.

It was originally a bright dragon, and its bright magic power was very strong. Coupled with the several evolutions of its natal holy flame, it was already quite powerful. At this moment, it was operating with the method of Fudo Ming Wang's heart fire supernatural power, and immediately made the pure world holy flame appear on his body. It's changed a bit.

The world-cleaning holy flame, which was originally capable of burning all unclean things in the world, is still pure and domineering at this moment and cannot tolerate any other elements, but it is completely different from the past. Not only has it become more fiery, it has also become violent, and the whole person seems to be It has become like a volcano that may erupt at any time!

Qin Feng, who was sitting in front of Bailong, felt the most about this. He only felt that the flames on Bailong's body suddenly became emotional, full of endless anger, and wanted to burn everything in the world!

In order not to affect Bailong's comprehension, he did not use his defensive powers to resist the hot flames on Bailong's body. He stretched out his hand and swiped in the void, causing the space outside him to distort.

He distorted the space with the power of the law of space. Although his figure did not move, the distance between the two was thousands of miles away in an instant. Unless those flames could break through the space, they would not be able to burn him at all!

Qin Feng turned his head and took a look, only to see that the woman transformed by the white dragon was covered with holy flames all over her body, setting her off like a holy goddess.

Although she is not a goddess yet, the gap is not far away. After refining the heart of an angel, it will be enough for her to advance to the dragon god!

What's more, besides the angel's heart, there are other resources. As long as this white dragon no longer sleeps all day long like it did in the early years, I believe it will soon be able to catch up with the other spirit beasts.

Venerable Huijue also didn't stop talking, but he didn't explain the method of "Fudo Ming Wang Heart Sutra", but recited a section of Buddhist scriptures, the voice was neither high nor low, but it was transmitted to Bailong's heart, and gradually calmed down. It was so angry that the flames on its body gradually subsided!

The flames on Bailong's body converged, his eyes were still closed, digesting what he got!

Through the connection between mind and spirit, Qin Feng found out whether it would wake up for a while, so he ignored it, and discussed with Venerable Huijue and others about the difference between Buddhist exercises and supernatural powers and Taoism.

Several people talked about it, and by the way, they also brought up Confucianism and magic methods for discussion. The more they talked, the further they went, and the last few Buddhist monks actually brought in the Guangming God Clan they met in the previous battle.

They also saw Bailong again, and remembered the methods of those powerful people in the bright world, so they analyzed the strength comparison between the power of the light department and the practice world by the way.

While talking, the old monk Huijue said that it was inevitable that he would have to fight the bright world in the future, and he was afraid that he would have to prepare early in the future.

When Qin Feng heard this, he immediately thought of something, and said with a smile: "Several masters don't need to worry. Speaking of which, the younger generation has seen a deadly enemy of the Angel God Race a few years ago. If he can win over, maybe he can become my Bi Luo's partner." A big helping hand!"
