Chapter 39 Shaolin Practice
·
Wa Wa Nu
Although he didn't know what the realm of transformation meant, Liu Jiangtao knew that he hadn't reached the realm of transformation yet.
Although he is not necessarily worse than Li in terms of attributes, his moves are too rigid. All his moves are forcibly instilled by the system. Although he knows it, he can't be considered flexible.
Now in a contest with Li, there is a [-]% chance of losing, and the other [-]% is - losing badly!
Looking at Li going away, Liu Jiangtao turned his head to look at the monk who led the way and said:
"He is a master, I am not as good as him!"
"Amitabha, I'd better take the master to see the abbot first, little monk!"
"Excuse me!"
Along the way, I met many monks. Although these monks didn't show up in the movie, Liu Jiangtao could feel that these seemingly harmless monks were basically masters of one another. Li Cha.
On the martial arts arena, on both sides of the stone table, Liu Jiangtao and the abbot are sitting on both sides!
The conversation at the beginning was very happy. After all, Liu Jiangtao had obtained the knowledge of Hinayana Buddhism from the abbot of "Boxer" for forty years, so there was no obstacle to discussing Buddhism with the abbot!
As for the abbot, the more he talked, the more interested he became in Liu Jiangtao's Buddhist practice!
It is not easy for a young man in his 20s to have such a deep study of Buddhism!
The more interested the abbot was, the more interested he was in Liu Jiangtao's spiritual practice. There was no way, Liu Jiangtao was like a beautiful piece of jade to the abbot!
How could he let this piece of beautiful jade be so dusty? !
We've been chatting for almost an hour, why don't you ask? !
Finally, the abbot couldn't bear it anymore——
"Liu Layman, I don't know what problems you have encountered in your practice, can you let the poor monk know!"
what questions? !
Poor monk, bah bah, where do I have any problems in practice? !
I was just looking for an excuse to come to Shaolin Temple to compete with Li!
However, at this point, it is impossible not to say a few questions!
I just don't know if I will be blasted away after speaking out!
"Abbot, my question is very simple, but I still don't understand it. For example: My Buddha emphasizes abstinence from sex, but if everyone in the world believes in Buddhism and abstinence from sex, how can human beings reproduce?!"
"If human beings can't reproduce, then are human beings extinct?! Is it equivalent to killing life, killing human beings, or cutting grass and roots!"
Forehead? !
Going on to the first question, although the abbot is still smiling, there is no smile in the eyes looking at Liu Jiangtao, is this guy here to find fault? !
Take this kind of impossible question to ask? !
If it wasn't for the previous hour, the abbot had already confirmed that Liu Jiangtao was a practitioner of Hinayana Buddhism, and the abbot might really blow this fellow away!
"Lady, do you have any other questions?!"
"Yes! For example, Buddha pays attention to no desire and no pursuit, but why are there so many temples in the world?! So many golden Buddha bodies?! Why does he pay attention to accumulating merit and virtue, and go to the Western Paradise after death?!"
After this series of parallel questions, the abbot faintly felt that something was wrong. Could it be that this guy really came to find fault? !
Without waiting for the abbot to ask questions, Liu Jiangtao continued:
"Also - the Buddha is omnipotent, but why does the "Mahaparinirvana Sutra" record such a passage, "The World Honored One was fed by the forged son Cunda, and he became seriously ill from time to time, with red blood gushing out, and he was dying of severe pain." Would the Buddha be poisoned and die if he really had great powers?"
Forehead? !
Even the Buddha questioned it!
"Also - the implication of the Buddhist scriptures is that everything is illusory. Then, what about the Dharma and the Buddhist scriptures?! Are they also illusory?! If the Dharma and the Buddhist scriptures are both illusory, then what we practice is illusory, and the final outcome is also illusory , Why do we practice?! What is the difference between practicing and not practicing?!"
"Also, the Buddha pays attention to the equality of all living beings, but why is there a distinction between Buddha and Bodhisattva among the Buddha himself?! The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, so is the Buddha among all living beings? If so, why is the Buddha receiving incense from the world?! If Not among all living beings, detached from all living beings, this in itself is a kind of inequality!"
"and also……"
Before Liu Jiangtao could finish speaking, the abbot stood up and clasped his hands——
"Amitabha, Layman Liu, you have encountered a demon in your mind, please stay in our temple for a while and recite the Heart Sutra a lot, Amitabha!"
After finishing speaking, the abbot turned and left, leaving Liu Jiangtao with a magnificent back!
Seeing the abbot leaving, Liu Jiangtao opened his mouth, and finally popped out five large characters——
"You asked me to say it!"
If the abbot hadn't left, he would definitely have stepped on the ground and rubbed him——
What did I tell you to say? !
Did I ask you to say this? !
What are these problems? !
Are these problems in Buddhist practice? !
These are all slanders against Buddha by the world!
However, no matter how much the abbot doesn't want to see Liu Jiangtao now, this guy finally got his wish and stayed in Shaolin Temple!
In the first three days, this guy was quite honest, and under the arrangement of the abbot, he entered the scripture storage pavilion!
The abbot's arrangement was for this guy to recite the "Heart Sutra", but it took this guy three days to read the first few sentences, and the rest of the time was spent looking for the scriptures!
Some people may have guessed it, this guy is looking for the legendary Yijinjing and Xiuijingjing!
But it was never found!
Three days later, this guy couldn't take it anymore, he secretly ran down the mountain, found a hotel, and after eating and drinking, he also filled the different dimension space with meat!
After that, the Shaolin Temple was not at peace, especially the sweeping monks often inadvertently found some leftover chicken bones, duck bones, etc. in some corners, and even found a large piece of pig bones again!
There is no need to investigate this matter. Shaolin Temple has been fine for such a long time, and now this kind of thing happened not long after Liu Jiangtao came to the temple. As for who is the culprit, do you even need to ask? !
It must be Liu Jiangtao!
Finally, on the tenth day, the abbot couldn't stand this guy anymore, so he came to ask Liu Jiangtao what was going on, but the guy said directly——
"The poor monk practices the Hinayana Buddhism in Thailand, and there is nothing in the precepts that says you can't eat meat!"
Even this guy even uttered a very shameless sentence——
"Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha keeps it in his heart, and the poor monk cultivates his mind but not his body!"
Two sentences sent the abbot away!
Until now, the abbot finally figured it out, this guy is a fake monk, living in Shaolin Temple in the name of asking for help to find fault!
However, he couldn't easily drive this guy away. First of all, this guy said that he practiced Theravada Buddhism in Thailand. Although the abbot had never been abroad, he knew monks there, and there was no such thing as abstaining from meat!
Secondly, this guy has no shaved degree at all, no matter how advanced his Buddhist practice is, he is just a lay disciple, just like Li and other outside disciples!
Although you can't eat meat in temples, there is nothing wrong with people eating meat. You don't have to be ordained to receive precepts. Logically speaking, you don't need to abide by these precepts!
It's not justified to drive him away, after all, when Liu Jiangtao was doing well in the first three days, he directly donated [-] incense money, and famously said that he would live in the temple for three months!
And the abbot agreed!
Monks don't tell lies, let alone break their promises, so the abbot can only endure it!
It has to be said that this abbot is worthy of being an eminent monk, if he were an ordinary person, he would have kicked this guy out a long time ago!
Soon, Liu Jiangtao became a celebrity in the temple, um, a person with a low reputation!
However, the lay disciples who mainly practice martial arts have a good sense of Liu Jiangtao, especially Li, as the No. 1 lay disciple, although he is very strict, he often goes down the mountain secretly to fight teeth.
Now that Liu Jiangtao is here, especially after being arranged in the big courtyard where lay disciples live, these people don't even need to sneak around. With Liu Jiangtao as the leader, Li followed and escorted, and the rest of the group followed and went down the mountain!
After a few times, Liu Jiangtao became familiar with this group of people, especially under the special operation, Li also slowly accepted Liu Jiangtao, a lay monk from outside!
Of course, a large part of it is because of the induction between each other, the induction between the strong when they first met!
On the night of No.14 when Liu Jiangtao lived in the Shaolin Temple, a group of people who were full of food and drink returned to the temple, and Liu Jiangtao and Li secretly came to the martial arts arena!
This time, it was the first time Liu Jiangtao and Li fought against each other. Li's Jeet Kune Do was flexible and varied, and his attack power was astonishing; The strength was stacked to a height of 35 points!
Therefore, when the first head-to-head confrontation was made, Li unexpectedly suffered a little loss.
But soon Li discovered that although Liu Jiangtao had amazing physical fitness and good moves, he was very rigid and couldn't master these moves flexibly!
Therefore, the first contest between the two only lasted for 1 minute, and Liu Jiangtao was overthrown!
From day No. 15, Liu Jiangtao stopped going down the mountain, and directly threw [-] Hong Kong dollars to other people, asking them to bring food when they came back, and then this guy pestered Li to point out his shortcomings in martial arts!
After getting acquainted with Li, Li is still very talkative, and the fight with Liu Jiangtao is also very pleasant, so he readily agreed!
That night, the two started their second contest. This time, Liu Jiangtao lasted for a minute and a half before being beaten!
For the rest of the time, Li pointed out Liu Jiangtao's deficiencies in martial arts.
Although the two practice different skills, one is muay thai, the other is Jeet Kune Do and fighting, but the truth is understandable. To put it bluntly, there are only two words-one is attacking and the other is defending!
Between offense and defense is fighting kung fu!
One taught with heart, one studied with heart, plus Liu Jiangtao's strong physical fitness, in just ten days, Liu Jiangtao was able to walk 10 minutes under Li's hands without being defeated!
In the next five days, Liu Jiangtao and Li even got in touch with each other.
Seeing Liu Jiangtao's progress, even Li has to admit that this man who looks like a woman is really abnormal in physical fitness!
Although he is not necessarily worse than Li in terms of attributes, his moves are too rigid. All his moves are forcibly instilled by the system. Although he knows it, he can't be considered flexible.
Now in a contest with Li, there is a [-]% chance of losing, and the other [-]% is - losing badly!
Looking at Li going away, Liu Jiangtao turned his head to look at the monk who led the way and said:
"He is a master, I am not as good as him!"
