Chapter 1045 The way to liberation lies within

At that time, Xuanzang's answer was that although he had been a Buddha for ten lifetimes and knew everything, he didn't know what to do. Perhaps the answer lies in Mahayana Buddhism. As long as he retrieves that Buddhist scripture, all questions will be answered. .

That is the most exquisite Buddhist teaching in the world, containing thousands of truths.

Xuanzang told the monkey that as long as there is this Mahayana Buddhism, all living beings can truly be equal, Buddhism will no longer suppress the demon clan, the emperor and the common people will be the same, and the people of the world will be happy together.

The monkey looked at Xuanzang expectantly. He hoped that his master, who had already retrieved the Mahayana Buddhism, could explain his doubts.

"Monkey, I don't know either." Xuanzang shook his head slightly.

"Don't know?" The monkey's eyes widened, "Master, didn't you say that there is everything in Mahayana Buddhism!"

"You said that it is the only way of liberation in the world that can save everyone in the world."

"As long as we find that Buddha Dharma, no one in the world will suffer anymore."

"You said that as long as you get that book of Buddhism, all living beings in the world will be truly equal from now on!"

Xuanzang did not answer, but sighed: "Monkey, when I was a teacher, I wanted to learn Mahayana Buddhism."

"I think that Mahayana Buddhism is the most exquisite Buddhism after all. That Buddhism can tell me how to truly achieve equality for all living beings."

"I really think that this Buddhist scripture can save people in the world, even the demon clan suppressed by Buddhism. It can teach all living beings to be liberated and make the world free from difficulties."

"but……"

"Master," the monkey interrupted, "but Mahayana Buddhism is not subtle enough?"

Xuanzang sighed: "The Mahayana Buddhism is indeed so exquisite that it is unparalleled."

"However, no matter how exquisite the Buddhist scriptures are, they cannot save the world."

"Buddhist scriptures are Buddhist scriptures."

"How can a Buddhist scripture help all sentient beings to be liberated?"

The monkey still looked desperate.

Mahayana Buddhism was unable to resolve his confusion.

"Master, have you still failed..." Monkey smiled helplessly.

"It failed, but it is not a complete failure... Thousands of years later, my master seems to have found the answer." Xuanzang suddenly raised his head, smiled and lit a cigarette.

"Master, have you found the answer?" Monkey suddenly became excited, "Where is the answer?"

"It's quite interesting. I have spent my whole life pursuing my teacher, and for the true equality of all sentient beings, I have traveled thousands of miles westward to seek Buddhist scriptures, but it was of no use. I didn't expect..." Xuanzang said softly: "After being reincarnated for thousands of years, he will With these eyes, I saw that this land gradually became what I had imagined as a teacher."

He looked at the world.

Look at the cities and mountains and rivers.

I saw the bustling streets, the neon-lit cities, the rapidly changing towns, the students running on the playground, the workers sweating, and the villagers humming a ditty and looking at the fields like the sea.

He has gone through reincarnation, and although he has not yet awakened, he has seen how this land has risen step by step.

In one life, he was a farmer in the countryside, born into a farmer's family, and there was an emperor at that time.

In one life, he was a student who skipped classes to listen to ideas that transcended generations.

In one life, he was a warrior, shouting slogans, rushing toward the invaders' guns with his comrades, soaking the soil with his blood.

In one life, he was a worker, sweating for the rise of Daxia.

Later, in another life, he was born into a farmer's family, but he was no longer an emperor. He no longer continued to be a farmer like his father's generation. Instead, he worked hard to get into a good university. After graduation, he sat in an office and bought I have a clean and bright building, a gentle wife and a lovely daughter.

Although he was not rich and his mortgage was paid off only when he was fifty, when he was about to enter the next reincarnation, it was the first time he was so reluctant to leave.

Xuanzang said softly: "No matter how exquisite Mahayana Buddhism is, it is just a book of Buddhism and cannot liberate the world."

"This land today could not be created by gods, Buddha, or monsters. It was created by countless ordinary people on their own."

"It's ridiculous that I claimed that I traveled all the way to the West for the sake of all sentient beings in the world, went through all kinds of hardships, and learned the Mahayana Buddhism. But it only moved myself. All sentient beings in the world don't need Mahayana Buddhism at all, and even a mere Mahayana Buddhism cannot save all sentient beings in the world."

"Buddha's crossing is not as good as self-crossing. They can cross by themselves. Buddha and Buddhism are just a joke in front of this land today and in front of the achievements of 140,000,000 Daxia people."

"Master, you mean, this land now..." The monkey suddenly seemed to understand something.

"Monkey, put aside your hatred first and look carefully at the land in front of you." Xuanzang looked at the vibrant mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and said softly: "Now, in this land, Buddhism no longer oppresses the demon clan, and the emperor no longer By oppressing the common people, the Taoist gods will no longer be high in the clouds.”

"Thieves have nowhere to escape, and good guys are no longer destined to die."

"Children from farmers can sit in offices, children from poor families can live a prosperous life, and top students can go to the fields. Officials' salaries are not necessarily higher than those of ordinary people."

"Although family background is still important, as long as you work hard, everyone can have the destiny of their own choice."

"Even the demon race can become a lawyer and defend the human race."

"Monkey, let me ask you, isn't this a world where all living beings are equal? ​​Isn't that what you really want?"

The monkey stared blankly at the land in front of him. He looked at the monsters chatting and singing with the warriors, and at the Taoist priests who were arm-in-arm with the monsters.

His golden eyes swept across the rivers, looking at the perseverance in the eyes of the soldiers, the smiles on the faces of the students, the reunions of the workers with their families after get off work, and the barbecue gatherings of friends on the street.

The pair of blazing golden eyes that could see hundreds of miles suddenly became blurry, and the monkey rubbed the red corners of his eyes.

The monkey looked at the illusory figure and smiled bitterly: "Master, what I want to overthrow now is actually what I once wanted?"

"But, no matter what, Buddhism has suppressed our demon clan for thousands of years..."

He was still a little unwilling.

Suppressed for thousands of years!

Now, this account will not be counted?

"Monkey, hatred will only cover your eyes." Xuanzang said softly: "If you take revenge, I will help you."

"But, do you really want the equality of all living beings if the demon clan dominates?"

"Can you demon clan create such a prosperous world?"

"Isn't this prosperous age what you want?"

"These monsters have all given up. Monkey, it's time for you to give up too. It's time for you to go in and experience the prosperous age you want."

Those demon clansmen who had started a bonfire barbecue with the Taoist disciples all shouted loudly: "Great Sage, put it down!"

"We all accept it!"

"To be honest, we were no better than you at that time! I know you were wronged, but we were chased and beaten by you, and we were even more wronged than you were!"

"That's right, Great Sage, if you really want to take revenge, which monster here has not killed a few of its ancestors by you?"

"Great Sage, it's all over, let's not mention it anymore! We just think it's pretty good now! Those Taoist brothers who used to slay demons and defend the Tao at every turn were actually quite easy to talk to."

"Great Sage, if you really start fighting with Buddhism again, this prosperous world will no longer exist. At that time, the demon clan will dominate, and then the Buddhist clan will take revenge, and then the demon clan will take revenge... We and our children and grandchildren can't even think about it. Good times have passed! The demon race, the human race and the Buddhist sect have entered into an infinite reincarnation of war again! We have to live in fear every day!"

"We really can't defeat the key!"

The monkey was silent for a long time, then looked at Xuanzang: "Master, have these human races found a real way to save people?"

Xuanzang nodded and said: "The real method of saving people... is not found in Mahayana Buddhism. I have searched all over it and still can't find it, but I also know that there is a method that can save the world."

"What method?" Monkey suddenly asked.

Xuanzang chuckled and said, "The laws of Daxia."

"Before this law, all living beings are equal!"

"I don't care about you monsters and humans, I don't care about your Buddhas and gods, this method is the real equality of all living beings!"

As soon as these words came out, the monkey's whole body was shocked!

"As for the true way to liberation, the true equality of all living beings..." Xuanzang looked at the Great Steel Wall.

To be precise, it is the red flag that stands on the ground and flutters in the sea breeze.

Xuanzang said softly: "It's among them."

The monkey stared blankly at the red flag.

Suddenly he burst into tears.
