Chapter 1196: Mahayana Buddhism

This old man, dressed in a gray cloth, was skinny and half-footed, as if he had stepped into the ground, he would die at any time.
The palm of the broom was trembling, but every time it shook it was very powerful.
"Zhiqing, are you right? This is an old man?"
Ye Fan glanced at the old man again, then turned his head and said to Lai Zhiqing.
"Ye Fan, what's the matter with you? This is obviously the little novice who opened the door to us earlier!"
The astonishment on Lai Zhiqing's face was even worse than Ye Fan's. Could that devilish energy still affect her thinking?
"Hehehe, the donor, everything that people see is the form, and the form follows the mental form. The female donor's mental form has not changed, but yours has changed!"
The old man smiled, his hands kept moving, and he continued to sweep the floor.
"Mentality? At this moment, even I can hardly understand myself. Whether it is good or evil, no one can tell!"
Ye Fan basically didn't understand these profound language, so he could only sneer, as if he was laughing at himself.
"Only I know the good and evil in my heart. At this moment, you are just like me. The female donor sees me as a child, but I am an old man. These are all your business. For me, what is there? What about the relationship? I just need to know that I'm still there, that's enough!"
The old man's face was full of gentle smiles, as if he had already realized it.
"Other people's vision is really unimportant, but it has an impact. I have a life-saving method in my body, but in the end I still have to rely on others. Even the Buddha is unwilling to save me." Ye Fan said helplessly.
"Everything in the world, what is a Buddha? And what is it for you? To save or not to save depends on personal will, not the wish of the Buddha, let alone what you think." The old man completely put down the broom in his hand and suddenly sat on the broom. Come down.
"brush……"
As the old man asked questions one after another, Ye Fan's body was shocked, his mind seemed to have suffered some kind of heavy blow, and the surrounding space changed rapidly.
The world of ice and snow is gone, here white lotus is in full bloom, with a touch of golden light, it seems pure and unwilling.
And on top of the white lotus, there is a little monk sitting right upside down, just the little novice monk from before.
"this is……"
Looking at the little novice monk, Ye Fan was completely shocked. All the changes seemed so natural but so strange.
The old man is gone now.
"Donor, your heart is finally calm at this moment. It seems that this quiet place of mine has some influence on you!"
The little novice monk suddenly spoke, showing an old smile.
"Senior, who are you?" Ye Fan was shocked at the moment, he had never seen such a peculiar sight.
A person actually has two completely different incarnations, and they will change.
"Who am I now? I don't even know myself. I appear in your eyes as a child and an old man. You should understand better than me!"
The little novice said with a faint smile.
Ye Fan fell silent when he heard this, vaguely as if he understood what the old man had said before.
Dhamma is the mental state. The mental state of others is related to one's own mental state and has nothing to do with others.
"Donor, you said earlier that the Buddha gave up on you? But do you know what a Buddha is?" After a while, the little novice monk suddenly asked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was almost confused by the heavy language, and shook his head subconsciously.
"Before you talked about Buddhism, I let you know what Buddha is from Buddhism?" The little novice said immediately and explained: "In Buddhism, Buddhism is divided into five vehicles, human, heaven, Sound and hearing, independent enlightenment, bodhisattva."
"Cultivating high-grade five precepts and ten virtuous benevolents, middle-grade five precepts and ten virtuous beings, combine the five precepts and ten virtuous ones, which is called the human heaven, that is, the human and heaven in Buddhism."
The five precepts and ten virtues, as Zen Master Jin Song mentioned earlier, these are the basic requirements for entering Buddhism, and they are still understandable.
After Ye Fan digested this content, he immediately asked: "What about the smell and solitude?"
"The Shengwen Vehicle is freed from life and death due to listening to the Dharma, and the Dujue Vehicle is free from life and death without the conscious awareness of listening to the Dharma. The two are collectively referred to as the Tao of Liberation; they are higher than the Tao of Man and Heaven."
The little novice monk explained very skillfully.
"Humanity! Freedom! What about the Bodhisattva?"
Ye Fan murmured. There should be three ways to calculate the five multiplications of Buddhism.
"The Bodhisattva Way is an incapable method that seeks to obtain the way of liberation without giving up the way of man and heaven. Therefore, the way of the Bodhisattva of the Mahayana is a combination of the way of liberation and the way of man and heaven."
After the little novice monk sternly explained, he suddenly asked, "Donor, now do you know what is Mahayana and what is Hinayana?"
"From the perspective of requirements and abilities, only the Bodhisattva path is Mahayana!"
Ye Fan said with some uncertainty. He understood the fundamentals of Buddhism and Tao for the first time, and he did not dare to make rash judgments.
"What you said is quite right. The Tao of Humanity and the Tao of Liberation are all Hinayana Buddhism. Only the Bodhisattva Tao is the Mahayana Buddhism. Now you should understand what a Buddha is!"
The little novice nodded and said with a smile.
"Is the Buddha Mahayana?" Ye Fan said subconsciously.
After all, only by combining the first two paths can the path of the Bodhisattva be achieved, that is, the Buddha.
"Not so. Mahayana and Hinayana are all Dharma and part of the Buddha. The Hinayana has given up on you, but Mahayana still exists." The little novice shook his head and corrected with a serious face.
"But Zen Master Jin Song finally said that I had fallen into a demon barrier. Even if I practiced the Mahayana Buddhism, I could not be saved."
Ye Fan frowned and said, Jin Song's words will not be forgotten in his life, this is awakening.
"The Hinayana only cares about getting free by taking advantage of the Dharma, and does not want to come back and save other sentient beings. Zen Master Jin Song has not practiced the Mahayana, how can he be sure about the Mahayana?"
The little novice asked with a smile.
"That's the case, no wonder he didn't want to save me, but instead longed for my reincarnation sooner!"
Ye Fan finally understood the reason why Zen Master Jin Song was so indifferent.
Only save yourself, not all beings.
"The real Mahayana Buddhism is to seek the supreme Buddha path and liberate yourself from life and death, and to lower the immeasurable sentient beings from the sea of ​​life and death. I will not give up on you. The Hinayana cannot save you, but Mahayana can save you!"
The little novice monk gave Ye Fan unlimited hope.
"Senior enlightened, Ye Fan is grateful, and hopes to be worshipped by younger generation!"
After Ye Fan said, he knelt on this lotus pond and performed a Buddhist ceremony of five-body throwing on the ground.
Needless to say, the person in front of him must be a practitioner of Mahayana Buddhism, otherwise it would be impossible to explain so much to Ye Fan.
At the moment of Ye Fan's enlightenment, the little novice monk changed again and gradually became a fat monk in a golden robe. He looked amiable and seemed to have unlimited vitality.
After Ye Fan's eyes condensed slightly, he already accepted it. Maybe this is what this senior really looks like.
Seeing Ye Fan's completion of the ceremony, a strong voice gradually came from this population: "Ye Fan, you have Mahayana Buddhism in your body. You do not belong to the Hinayana. The devil energy on your body is easy to remove, but the heart demon in the depths of the spiritual platform is difficult. Change."
