Chapter 24 The Profound Dharma

They saw that Lan Yudie first went up to ask Zen Master Nan Huikong, but now the little monk said that Huikong couldn't answer because his Dharma was not profound enough. Naturally, he thought that the three of them were a group, and they came here to challenge the White Horse Temple.

So I automatically gave way to the little monk, so that he could go up to discuss the Dharma with Huikong.

God is pitiful, what Xiao Fei said just now was indeed unintentional. He had just come down from the mountain, so he knew nothing about human relationships and the world, so he said whatever was on his mind. Because of this, Ye Zhen formed the situation where he challenged the White Horse Temple.

"Little monk, I didn't expect you to be so talented that you would dare to challenge the monk from the White Horse Temple!" Lan Yudie gave him a thumbs up.

"I didn't challenge them!" Xiao Fei said, "I just told the truth."

With Xiao Fei's words, Zen Master Huikong of the White Horse Temple changed his expression: You just said that my Dharma is not profound enough, and now you want to emphasize it again? This is simply to kick the hall. If the little monk cannot be convinced today, then the exhibition hall of the White Horse Temple will not need to be opened.

"Little monk, come up, the poor monk wants to debate Buddhism with you!" Hui Kong pointed to the little monk and said in a somewhat unfriendly tone.

"I won't debate Buddhism with you. According to the rules, Buddhist disciples need specific opportunities to debate Buddhism, and they can't argue for the sake of debate." Xiao Fei said. The debate on Buddhism is not about fighting for strength, but about mutual enlightenment and mutual enlightenment.

"Okay, okay, you don't have to debate Buddhism with me." Hui Kong said. "Didn't you just say that this little girl's problem is easy to solve, so you come up and solve it for everyone to see. If you don't show up today, I will not let you go at the White Horse Temple."

After speaking, three or four monks came to them and refused to let them leave.

"It seems that it is not so easy for us to leave today." Lin Xiaowu said.

"Little monk, what are you afraid of just going up? And I am willing to perform again." Lan Yudie said to him confidently, "I don't believe that you, a little monk, can easily solve these ancient problems. "

After finishing speaking, Lan Yudie unexpectedly jumped up again. But Xiao Fei had no choice but to walk up slowly.

Seeing the little monk go up, people were looking forward to seeing how the little monk would solve the problem.

"Little monk, listen to me." Lan Yudie said to Xiao Fei very proudly, "Let me ask you the first question. In this world, which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

"Eggs come first." Xiao Fei replied.

"You said the egg came first?" Lan Yudie said strangely, "Where did the egg come from? Did it grow out of the soil?"

"There is a saying in the Vedas: Brahma is also the sky of book making, Brahma sky, and pure sky. Brahma is born into a golden egg, and the golden egg turns into various parts. The golden egg is chaos, and it turns into all things. All conditioned dharmas should be made View it that way!" Xiao Fei said calmly.

"You actually understand the Vedas?" Several monks at the White Horse Temple were shocked. It is rumored that Tang Seng went to the West to learn scriptures and retrieved more than a thousand volumes of Mahayana Buddhism, and the "Vedas" is one of them. However, because of the long history, it has long been lost. Where did this little monk read the "Vedas"?

Xiao Fei is Sun Wukong's apprentice, and the Buddhist scriptures he has learned are of course the most authentic. Apart from the "Vedas", there are other Buddhist scriptures, which all belong to Mahayana Buddhism.

Is this question so easy to answer? Blue Yudie was surprised. Moreover, Xiao Fei used Buddhism to answer, and she didn't know how to refute it. Besides, the theory of chaos is also very reasonable. Before Pangu created the world, the universe was a mass of chaos, which was equivalent to an egg.

"Okay then, let me ask you a second question." Lan Yudie said: "If your wife and your mother fall into the water at the same time, neither of them can swim, and you can only save one of them, you Which one to choose to save? This time, you can't use the reason that monks can't marry wives to prevaricate me."

"I won't prevaricate you." Xiao Fei smiled slightly and said, "Once upon a time, before a Lord Buddha became a Buddha, he met an eagle chasing a sparrow at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. The sparrow hid in the Lord Buddha's arms, and let the Lord Buddha saved it. At this time, the eagle flew over and said to Lord Buddha, "If you save it, I will starve to death, but if you don't save it, it will die. No matter what choice you make , there is a life that dies'."

Xiao Fei said: "The question you asked about whether to save your mother or save your wife is the same problem that the Lord Buddha encountered at that time. Before the Buddha, all living beings are equal, and the Buddha loves all living beings just as he loves his wife and mother. "

"Then how did Lord Buddha choose?" Lan Yudie asked. At the same time, everyone was also attracted by the way the little monk answered. They've heard this puzzle before, but none of them have been able to solve it.

Unexpectedly, this little monk found the source with Buddhism. Once the source is found, there can be a complete answer.

"At that time, the Lord Buddha pondered for a moment, then took out a knife, cut a piece of flesh from his own heart, and put it on the balance. He wanted to cut a piece of flesh equal to the weight of a sparrow from himself, and feed it to the eagles." Xiao Xiao Fei said, "But what the Lord Buddha didn't expect was that this seemingly small sparrow was very heavy. No matter how much meat he put on it, it couldn't reach the weight of the sparrow. In the end, all the meat in the Lord Buddha's heart The balance was finally balanced when the cutting was over. At this moment, celestial music resounded in the sky, and the Lord Buddha finally attained enlightenment."

"The Buddha saved two lives with his own life?" Hearing Xiao Fei's story, Lan Yudie was moved, but she still said, "But what does your story have to do with my question?"

"It has a lot to do with it." Xiao Fei replied: "In the human world, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is often like an eagle and a sparrow, as if they are always natural enemies. And the man who is the son and husband is like It is Lord Buddha, because these two are his beloved people."

"A man can't just save one of them and sacrifice the other, so he has to sacrifice himself to be consummated." Xiao Fei said: "The best answer to this question is that he will save one of them first, and then use his life to go In exchange for another's survival."

Finally Xiao Fei said: "If the woman who asked this question really loved this man, I believe she would not want to see such a thing happen. After this, I believe she would not ask similar questions again. "

"And the weight of the sparrow requires all the heart, mouth and flesh of the Lord Buddha to balance it. This also shows the horror of women's jealousy. The root of all sins asking this question is because of women's jealousy."

Xiao Fei's answer is simple: "I can only save one, but I will accompany the other to die. Are you willing to watch me die? You ask this question because of your jealousy. kill me?"

"Papa papa!" Hearing the little monk's answer, the crowd suddenly burst into thunderous applause.

This little monk, the Dharma is so profound! People wondered.
