Chapter 1173 Talking and laughing with Maitreya
"It's so magnificent!"
Chen Zhao was amazed as he walked up.
After he walked up to the top, he saw the monk with a big belly sitting cross-legged with a smile on his face. When he saw him coming in, he slowly stood up, stood in front of his chest with one hand, and held a cloth bag in the other hand, and smiled: "I monk Changtingzi, pay homage to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please sit down."
The monk appeared in a bald head, with his ears hanging down his shoulders, his face full of smiles, and his smile was wide open. He was wearing a cassock, his chest exposed his abdomen, one pressed on a large pocket, and the other hand held a string of Buddhist beads. He looked at Chen Zhao happily, his eyes as bright as clear water, deep and unpredictable, and naturally had a leisurely and contentmental sense of leisure.
Chen Zhao shook his head and said, "I dare not sit, I can't sit!"
Changtingzi shook his head and smiled, "Your Majesty killed people and destroyed countless countries. Is there anything in the world that Your Majesty dare not do?"
Chen Zhao smiled and said, "Yes!"
He glanced at the walls of the copper tower on the top and sighed: "Although I massacre the city and destroyed the country and killed countless people, I am thinking of people's livelihood in my heart, and I am committed to improving the lives of the people. I do not object to them worshiping Buddha and seeking Taoism."
He looked at the shining copper plate floor under his feet and said with a pity: "But a gentleman loves money, takes it well, and uses it even more well. Even if I stay in this place for a moment, I can't stand it! The smell of copper here is too great, and it is the most shameful thing. Once you are contaminated by this smell, I am afraid that it will be useless if you bathe incense for a hundred years."
Changtingzi's swollen smile slowly faded away, but his face still had a smile on his face. He spoke to the topic, "Your Majesty, we monks have always been obedient to the public and law-abiding, and only seek peace. In the past ten years, everything has been fine, so why did Your Majesty deprive all the ancestors of our temple this time when he returned from the Tang Dynasty? The monks in our temple cannot even worship the indulgent oil in front of the Buddha. If this continues, I am afraid that I will starve to kill us."
Changtingzi sighed: "The donor was originally destined to be with my Buddhism, but why did his temperament suddenly change drastically? Is it because the devil possessed him and has a grudge against my Buddha?"
When Chen Zhao heard this, he looked at the monk deeply, "I have no grudges with the Buddha, and the Ming Dynasty has no grudges with the Buddha, but the millions of people in Zhuzi City have grudges with the Jinghuang Temple!"
"A monk must look like a monk!"
He suddenly turned around, pointed to the copper-cast arhat in the courtyard, and then patted the walls on the bronze hall beside him, "I am extremely extravagant and have no desires! I spend so much manpower and material resources just for the golden body of the Buddha statue!"
Chen Zhao looked at the young monk, "At that time, the Buddha preached the Dharma, wore ragged clothes, held a bowl barefoot, ate a hundred families of food, wore patchwork clothes, slept under trees, meditated in the forest, spring, summer, autumn and winter, without gold and silver, and without any extravagance."
"I heard that when you, Changtingzi, first arrived in Zhuzi City, had a frown and a big belly, and he was speechless, and he slept everywhere. He often used a stick to pick a cloth bag into the market, begging for things when he saw things, and put all the things offered by others into the cloth bag, but no one saw you pour out the things, and the cloth bag was empty again. If someone asked you about Buddhism, you put down the cloth bag. If you still don't understand what you mean, continue asking, he would immediately lift the cloth bag and leave without looking back. People still ignored his meaning, and he would laugh out loud."
Chen Zhao laughed and said, "But this Jinghuang Temple is good. It is dressed well and dressed well. It lives in gold and silver and eats in the temple. Not only does it not pay taxes, but it also does not care about the people without land to farm, and no one cares about lending and rent collection."
His voice shocked the entire pagoda, "Is it still the ancestor's property? This temple was after I broke into the Kingdom of Jisai and gave the relics to the Supreme King for appreciation. The Supreme King built this temple on a whim. In essence, this is a royal temple! Even the stones on the territory were given by the Supreme King. What's the matter with you? Even every grass and tree is given by the Royal King, so where is your property!"
He picked a little Buddha from the wall of the bronze wall, "But this exquisitely carved bronze Buddha is enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for more than two months."
"The people worship Buddha for a better life. However, the monks from Jinghuang Temple practiced Buddhahood and practiced a whole body of gold and silver, and were full of energy. They did not see the world and the people, but instead saw greed!"
Changtingzi laughed and said, "I never thought that the donor had entered the path of devils. I had to know that the Dharma was profound and only passed on to those who were destined to be destined. People in the world all wanted to become Buddhas, so they had to set standards and raise the threshold. You must know that the sutras should not be passed on lightly, and the Buddha should not be obtained lightly. I went down the mountain to the monks and monks at the time and recited this sutra with him at the house of Zhao, the elder Zhao, the country of Shravas, to ensure that the living in his family was safe and the deceased were transcendent and that he could only get back three buckets and three liters of rice and grains of gold. The Buddha also said that they were too cheap and taught their descendants and children to have no money to use it. Your Majesty should not be extreme and be deceived by Podian, and become the great devil who destroyed my Buddhism and will always fall into the boundless hell."
Chen Zhao stretched out his hand and a vacant cushion next to him was pulled into his hand by him. Then he placed it on the ground, sat cross-legged on it, and asked Changtingzi, "Monk, I ask you, is your Buddhist practice of Buddha, or name? Is it practicing money or status?"
Changtingzi said lightly: "Buddhist disciples need to eat and drink, and daily expenses are indispensable."
Chen Zhao sneered: "Does the Buddhist scriptures mean that you want to make a lot of money and annex the land?"
He looked at Changtingzi with a smile and said with a smile: "Whether Buddhism or Taoism is the only gods in the West, as long as it leads people to goodness, I will not restrict it. However, if some monks use the guise of respecting Buddha to accumulate money and annex land, causing people to live in poverty and the country's foundation to be unstable, I cannot ignore it as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"
"And since Buddhism spread in Xiniu Hezhou, it has deteriorated for thousands of years and has become a national cancer."
Chen Zhao stood up and walked with his hands on the top of the thirteenth floor tower. "Do you know the origin of the pawn industry? Hehe, 500 years ago, the chaos in Xiniu Hezhou was in chaos, but Buddhism was extremely prosperous. The Buddhist temple had more money than the national treasury. The country of Shravas and the country of Lion Camel were fighting, and both sides needed military pay, and they even had to borrow money from the Buddhist temple!"
Chen Zhao shook his head in the hall, "Once upon that time, the pawnshop industry emerged."
"As far as I know, the reason why the Lion Camel Kingdom was destroyed once was because I could not repay the bonds and had to have the idea of destroying the Buddha. So I was eaten by the great roc. Your Buddhism opened up a new industry and then destroyed a country!"
"A religion, the believers do not work for production, and they even control the country's money and lifeline, consume the national spirit, and even endanger the fate of the country. Which king can tolerate such believers? If you do not destroy the Buddha, you must destroy the country. Only by destroying the Buddha can you save the country. Who will be the one who is resentful to you? That's how Shakyamuni taught you the Dharma when he was preaching?"
Changtingzi was silent. His true identity was extraordinary. He was Maitreya Buddha. Although he had closed his supernatural powers now, it did not mean that his knowledge did not exist. With his status, he naturally knew the past of Buddhism and knew that what Chen Zhao said was true, and it was indeed difficult to answer the words Chen Zhao asked about.
After Changtingzi was silent for a long time, he replied: "All dharmas are born from causes and all dharmas are destroyed from causes and events in the past must have a reason. Right and wrong have been turned into dust. Who is right and wrong, and who can comment on it."
Chen Zhao said: "It may have been heard from five or six hundred years ago, but now I'm afraid you can't justify it."
He looked at Changtingzi, "The relic of Gong Fenghua in the first place was just a brick tower. Now that we have come to our country, we have replaced it with a copper tower, which is consumable and exhausted, and we are insatiable. You monks are all empty in all four elements, but why do you value things outside your body so much? You can't understand fame, wealth and wealth, so what's the use of practicing?"
Changtingzi lowered his head and sighed: "Your Majesty has a deep prejudice against me in Buddhism, and it is no longer possible to explain it clearly in a short while."
He smiled slightly: "But Your Majesty has a connection with my Buddha, so why don't you study the meaning of my Buddhist scriptures here with me. It only takes a year or two, and I believe there will be enlightenment."
Changtingzi smiled and said, "I have the Three Collections of Mahayana Sutras. Just recite them every day to understand your mind and nature and realize the true meaning of my Buddha's compassion."
Chen Zhao laughed and said, "The Buddha is in his heart, how is it in his mouth?"
He sighed: "At that time, the Buddha was preaching the Dharma in the Snow Mountains, holding a golden brahma flower in his hand, and his mind was peaceful and silent. All sentient beings were puzzled, so only Mahakasyapa Poyan smiled lightly. The Buddha immediately said that Kasyapa had obtained his true teachings, which shows that Buddhism emphasizes understanding the mind and seeing the nature, and using the mind to impress the mind, and once you can realize it, you will become a Buddha in your heart. But you are chanting the Tripitaka of the Mahayana Sutra here. What can you do to cultivate? Can you just smile at sentient beings with a big belly and let others know your true face?"
Changtingzi was shocked again, knowing that Chen Zhao had seen his background.
He is the successor of the Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha. In the future, he will be born and practiced in the Saha world and become the next Buddha in the Saha world. He is the fifth Buddha among the thousand Buddhas of the Kalpa of Virtue. He is often called "The Maitreya Buddha will be born next to you."
This time, he came to the mortal world as a mortal of Changtingzi, aiming to transform Chen Zhao, introduce him into Buddhism, and obtain the Buddhist fruit as soon as possible.
But now he found that the other party not only understood Buddhism, but also hated some of the disadvantages of Buddhist disciples, which was difficult for him to overcome.
After all, Kashyapa and Ananda, the two direct disciples of the World Honored Ones, still had the desire to be eliminated.
If all the Buddhas on Lingshan practice hard, wear patchwork clothes, drink less and eat less, and do not enjoy the desires of the ears and ears, who would have been willing to enter the Buddhist sect at that time?
This is true in the Holy Land of Lingshan, let alone many Buddhist monks in the world?
It is necessary to know that the more you are, the more you will be able to take it with the flow and never go against the four seasons of heaven. Others can break the appearance of the Buddha's son not being perfect and refuse to enter the Buddha. Even if he is your Maitreya Buddha, he cannot force himself to recruit people into the Buddha.
You should know that he is now a mortal body and cannot use magic power. Even if he is the true body of Maitreya Buddha and the quasi-saint body, he knows that the other party is also a quasi-saint. If he really wants to use the trick of "the donor is destined to be with my Buddha", he may not be able to succeed.
If you cannot pass Chen Zhao into Buddha, it only means that the other party has become deeply enchanted.
If he can't beat him, then he will be in the future position of Maitreya Buddha, but he will be afraid that he will not be good.
At this moment, Changtingzi sighed softly in his heart, and asked casually: "If you want to become a Buddha, how is it so empty?"
