The three left the village and continued to head for Chang'an city. Xuanzang was talking all the way, and Yu Zhibo Xuan also added a few words.
But Li Er Lang did not speak all the time. He seemed to be thinking something in silence.
In the evening, they took a rest by the river. In the evening, they caught several fish in the river, and they prepared to roast the fish.
”Brother Li, come and eat a delicious fish.” Xuanzang handed the first fish to Li Erlang.
”Brother Li, how do you look unhappy? Is there something on your mind?” Xuanzang asked curiously.
Li Erlang: ”brother Xuanzang, you are a monk. Do you want to kill and eat meat?”
”This is the rule of all things in the world. If we really don't kill animals, we don't even eat plants in the world. For example, those vegetables are also alive. The land under foot also has life. The couch you sleep on also has life, and the breath you breathe has life
Therefore, all things in this world have life. If you really don't want to kill, I will not live and just commit suicide. Otherwise, do you want to kill many living creatures Xuanzang said to Li Erlang with a smile.
After hearing Xuanzang's words, Li Erlang also laughed: ”master Xuanzang, your ideas are different from most of the monks.”
”That's because they are too rigid and too archaic. They think that all living creatures in the world are living animals, but they don't know that plants also have life. Everything in the world has a certain voice. It is because of this that we have this rich and colorful three realms.
if you want to avoid killing life, then Don't eat any rice, don't breathe, don't step on anything, don't live in the three realms, because you live here is killing some lives Xuanzang said with a smile.
Li Er Lang nodded. Xuanzang's words were reasonable.
Yu Zhi Bo Xuan also laughed: ”Xuanzang, according to what you said, then what you said about Buddhism is to save all living beings and not to kill living beings, which is empty talk?”
Xuanzang shook his head and said, ”it's not so. What we Buddhists say is to save all living beings and not to kill them. Comparatively speaking, Mahayana Buddhism pays attention to the cultivation of all living beings. We should not only rely on personal ability to help others, but also teach all living beings in the world. Let them do their own self-determination.
when others come to Purdue, you are only outside Force, and there is no danger of it. So I think the real way of universal education is to let all living beings in the world help themselves. In this way, every living creature will go to purgatory. In this way, the whole three realms will carry out a kind of purgatory. No powerful figures are needed to help the three realms, because the sentient beings of the three realms can help themselves. ”
Yuzhi Boxuan laughed. Xuanzang said it was very good. Before Xuanzang was reincarnated, he didn't think so. In the past, he thought it was relying on one person or a group of people to help others. Now he wants everyone to help themselves.
It seems that his experience in the world is very good, with such an idea.
This is a progressive idea, because it is very difficult for you to fully take care of yourself when implementing the law of universal education. Sometimes there may be some troubles. If all the people in the three circles go to help themselves, it is also a good way.
”Master Xuanzang, I think it's not the best to make up for myself. It's not the best way to do it myself. Then I also go to the people around to help each other. Everyone helps each other. You have me. I have you in me. I'm for everyone. Everyone is for me.” Said Li Erlang.
