The ascetic monk sighed heavily,"Everyone traveling westward, you should know that it is not easy for us monks to practice. Now in the west of our Buddhist sect, the Chechi Kingdom actually neglected the Buddhist sect, which is why we have fallen here.……"

"Master's words are wrong"

"The Buddhist monks of Chechi Kingdom only focused on their own practice and never prayed for rain or a good harvest for Chechi Kingdom. However, they enjoyed the incense and worship offered by the people. The people still lived in misery. Buddhism was gradually removed from Chechi Kingdom. How can you blame the people for being neglected?"

Tang Xuanzang strongly disagreed with the ascetic's words. Taoist

Cihang, who transformed into an ascetic, couldn't help but feel shocked. He couldn't imagine that these words came from the mouth of Tang Xuanzang, who was at the head of the Buddhist scripture-seeking team!

If Tang Xuanzang had not thought about it for a long time, Buddhism is ahead of the idea of ​​respecting all things. Even if he obtains Buddhist scriptures and attains fruition status, he will not be able to turn his heart to Buddhism!

The ascetic stubbornly retorted:"No! It was obviously the three immortals of Chechi who played a little trick to confuse the people and the king and make them hate Buddhism. That is why we have fallen here. If we don’t expel those three immortals, the country of Chechi will never have peace."

"What the master said is even more wrong. Although these three great immortals of Xuanmen are not from my Buddhist sect, they have at least benefited the people of Chechi and made them rich and stable. It is natural for them to pay homage to them."

"If Buddhism wants to re-enshrine Chechi Kingdom, why not also pray for rain to protect the people and win the love of the people?"

Tang Xuanzang still retorted.

The ascetic frowned, and after a moment he slowly said:"Asking for rain and protection is just a small favor. Buddhism does not bother to use it. It is the duty of Buddhism to save all things and educate all living beings. People do not understand the way of heaven. , are extremely ignorant. Don’t you know that only by turning your heart to Buddhism can you achieve the path of bliss? Indulging in material desires for survival is nothing more than suffering from which all living beings cannot be liberated."

"If you don’t sweep one house, how can you sweep the world? The people are ignorant, but living and farming, drinking and pecking are all natural cycles. How can the people not even be able to save their lives, but still believe in Buddhism? If Buddhism doesn’t even have the compassion to show small favors, then it’s okay if the people don’t pay tribute!"

Tang Xuanzang's eyes were determined, and every word he spoke greatly exceeded the ascetic's expectations!

"Master is right! Old monk, I, Old Sun, see that you are incapable of benefiting the people and are expelled because you are no better than Xuanmen. Do you feel resentful in your heart?"

"If you want people to worship you, you have to show favors that others cannot give you. If you can't even do this, how can you talk about preaching and practicing Buddhism?……"

Sun Wukong yawned and said with disdain

"You... are all fallacies! Fortunately, you are still Buddhists, but your words and deeds are so disrespectful to Buddhism!"

The ascetic monk scolded with a heartbroken look,"Even the Buddhist disciples in the sect don't show mercy, how can we talk about obtaining sutras to save all sentient beings!"

"The disciples of the Buddha are small, but all living beings are big. There is also a saying in Buddhism about cutting meat to feed eagles and killing one's body to feed tigers. Why can't Buddhist disciples give up themselves to protect all living beings, but instead, they have to take care of all living beings in advance? What’s the point of practicing like this! Tang

Xuanzang shook his head repeatedly and said in a deep voice:"From the perspective of this poor monk, what Master said is heresy and abandons compassion!""

"you……"

The ascetic was sullen, and he found that he could not say a word to refute.

Every word of Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty was the most upheld teaching in the Buddhist scriptures, but it was himself who contradicted it.
