The dispute over Buddhism and Taoism has been around for a long time.

The two families have always been in a state of struggle for their respective rise and fall.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, it was basically determined that Taoism was the national religion.

But most emperors will not deny all Buddhism.

Emperor Hongzhi's father, Xianzong, particularly praised Buddhism.

During his reign, countless Dharma kings and monks were granted the title of countless Dharma kings and great monks.

When Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne.

Although he cleared up a lot of this chaos and re-established the status of Taoism.

But in recent years, his love for Buddhism has gradually deepened.

From time to time, monks would come to the palace to perform rituals or preach to the emperor.

The emperor gave these monks great courtesy and treatment.

These monks were invited to the palace today to preach to the emperor and the prince, and all the monks came.

After these eminent monks arrived, the emperor also arrived.

But when the emperor arrived, the prince brought a Yongxibo and was late?

I just came late, but it was better to learn Taoism from this uncle?

Isn’t this a naked provocation?

If these big monks can look at you in a friendly manner, there will be ghosts.

Although Zhu Houzhao is not very old, she likes Buddhism quite a lot.

Feeling the eyes of everyone present and the disagreement in his father's eyes, Zhu Houzhao also knew that he had said the wrong thing.

He could only bite the bullet and said, "Father, I'm sorry..."

Emperor Hongzhi didn't want to say much, so he waved his hand directly.

"Go back and sit."

He paused and looked at Zhao Ce with a calm expression.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't know what to say.

I could only let Zhao Ce go to his seat and prepare to listen to the master's lecture.

Originally, letting Zhao Ce stay with him to accompany the master to preach the scriptures today was also a gift from the emperor.

After all, not everyone has this honor.

But Emperor Hongzhi could not have imagined why Zhao Ce was so unreliable today.

Zhao Ce walked to his futon and sat down on his knees.

Zhu Houzhao, who was beside him, dared not look around anymore and waited honestly to listen.

The monk in the middle bowed to Emperor Hongzhi and said, "Amitabha."

Open the scriptures on the table in front of me, lowered my eyes, and began to speak slowly.

"I heard this. For a moment, the Buddha was in the Kingdom of Shravas..."

“…”

A scripture will be spoken.

Those who understand it, with a hint of piety or follow the monk's words, think about something.

People who don't understand...

Zhao Ce only felt that it was drowsy than when several leaders took turns to speak at the Lu Ming Banquet before.

He forced himself to look at a small area not far ahead, thinking about how to change the musket he had just obtained.

"The leads are exposed and it is easy to be silenced in rainy weather. You have to put a piece of flint on it. You need to put a one-hit anvil next to the fire transmission hole, and change it to a flintlock rifle..."

"I haven't seen the sight of the sight and the life gate now, so I need to study this..."

"I wonder if there are any famous craftsmen nowadays. If only I could find someone to study with me..."

Zhao Ce listened to the scriptures in his ears while immersing himself in his thoughts.

Suddenly, the scriptures cease.

Zhao Ce subconsciously raised his head.

Then I saw the kind-hearted monk sitting in the middle, looking at him.

Zhao Ce looked away and thought to himself whether he could refuse the reward of Emperor Hongzhi next time...

He really has no research on Buddhism.

Just as he was thinking, he heard the monk say, "Your Majesty, I have a question and I would like to ask you to answer."

Emperor Hongzhi calmed down a little, and smiled at the monk, saying, "Master's Buddhism is profound, just ask."

The monk nodded and said slowly: "The wind blows the banner, is it the wind moving, or is the banner moving?"

This is a sentence full of Buddhism by the Sixth Patriarch Huineng.

Of course the answer is already there.

Now that the master asked, he probably wanted to comment on this sentence.

Zhu Houzhao also admired Buddhism quite well and started thinking about it now.

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it seriously and said, "The wind did not move, the banner did not move."

"It's the heart of the kind person."

The monk seemed very happy with Emperor Hongzhi's wisdom, and finally smiled on his fat face.

"Your Majesty is right."

He turned to ask, "What does Your Highness think?"

Zhu Houzhao also knew this allusion.

He nodded and agreed: "What the Father said is right, it was the heart of the benevolent."

The monk turned his gaze to Zhao Ce behind Zhu Houzhao.

Zhao Ce looked back at him and frowned slightly.

The monk continued to ask, "What does this adult think?"

When everyone heard this, they turned their eyes from Zhu Houzhao who had just answered to Zhao Ce.

Zhao Ce looked at the monks next to the monk, with a little hostility in his eyes.

I thought to myself, the incident just now probably didn't pass so soon.

I just wanted to help Emperor Hongzhi strengthen his body, but made these monks think that they were sent by Taoism to save their face.

Things have been done, and there is no way.

I can only deal with it with it with a tough time.

Zhao Ce said: "Only when the wind blows and the banners move, the heart will move with it."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Hongzhi and others looked at Zhao Ce curiously.

Everyone present had a little more or less basic.

Zhao Ce was a layman, and when they watched him, he could only smile calmly.

Religion isn't it?

He is the authentic socialist successor, and if you really want to talk about it, it won’t be vain.

The great monk said lightly: "The donor saw the wind move, the banner moves, and his heart moves."

"It means that if the donor is disconnected from the heart, he will not know what to do."

"The enlightened one says that everything arises from the heart. If the heart does not arise, everything will not arise. If the heart does not move, everything will not move."

Emperor Hongzhi and others, listening to this explanation, nodded in agreement.

It turns out that the master really wants to reinterpret this Buddhist teaching, and he talks about the Buddhist principles. He is a person with profound practice when he hears it.

Zhu Houzhao also looked at Zhao Ce with some jokingness.

Both father and son thought:

——It turns out that they think that Yongxibo, who has great supernatural powers, will also suffer a defeat.

Although Zhao Ce had no wisdom, he also heard what the master said that he had no understanding.

Zhao Ce smiled and looked up at the master.

"It is the wind moving, the banner moving, and the hearts of those who are kind."
