Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 448 The meaning of extension! 2 things!

After hearing the abbot's words, all the monks' eyes immediately fell on Lin Ran, looking at this distinguished guest from the Central Plains with interest.

After receiving Ouzhu's invitation, Lin Ran was not afraid of the stage. He immediately stood up and started talking about his opinions.

"Sakyamuni said: One flower and one world, one leaf and one Bodhi."

"Everyone sees the world differently, and what the two masters just said makes sense."

"Law and morality are complementary to each other to a certain extent."

"It is true that the world tends to protect the weak because we have a humane caring mentality. Once this mentality is lost, a large number of people will appear to use their rights for their own selfish desires."

"For all kinds of issues, morality must be higher than the law."

"And the law is just a supplement to morality."

"We cannot blindly walk on the edge of the law without caring about moral cultivation."

"This is the case in legislation, and the rules should be more humane."

When talking about this, the other monks were still dissatisfied. They felt that Lin Ran was just repeating other people's opinions without adding his own.

Master Mila smiled and said: "It seems that he is not a disciple of Buddhism, and his enlightenment is not enough!"

Tenzin Ouzhu, however, looked enigmatic. He knew that what Lin Ran said just now was just an introduction. Judging from his confident appearance, the sutra discussion was just the beginning.

Sure enough, Lin Ran was already standing in the center of the Buddhist temple as he spoke.

"Although I am not a Buddhist, I understand that Buddhism has always had the value orientation of forbidding evil and promoting good."

"The goodness of Buddhism has many meanings when extended outwards, one of which is compassion."

Lin Ran looked at the monks and said, "This is the so-called selflessness, altruism, and salvation of all sentient beings."

Tenzin Odup and Mira both nodded. This is the core value orientation contained in Tibetan Buddhism.

In their realm of cultivation, saving all sentient beings is the highest realm in the minds of monks!

"Master Tsongkhapa, the founder of Sera Monastery, once said: Just like I fell into the sea of ​​suffering of the three existences, all living beings have their eyes of wisdom to distinguish between choices and rejections tightly closed, so you cannot move towards the realm of bliss far away from the sea of ​​suffering."

"This sentence is just right for today's Bible debate conference."

Before he finished speaking, not only Master Mila's men, but also Tenzin Ouzhu and his party looked at Lin Ran with dumbfounded eyes.

How can anyone who is not a member of this temple know their ancestral teachings!

"The benevolent sees benevolence, the wise see wisdom. This sentence will naturally have different interpretations in everyone's mind." Lin Ran smiled and said, "Here, I will boldly explain it. If there is any deficiencies, please ask two masters. Replenish."

"Please." The wrinkles on Tenzin Ouzhu's face were stacked together, and he was very interested.

When they were in the capital before, they had talked about their understanding of Tibetan Buddhism.

At that time, he was impressed by Lin Ran's knowledge!

I thought I would never have the chance to see Benefactor Lin again, but I didn’t expect that this would be fate in the world.

Donor Lin unexpectedly came to Xuewei Village, and by chance, saved countless villagers.

If it weren't for Lin Ran's appearance, Tenzin Ouzhu would not have helped them pray.

The villagers would work individually, and by the time they discovered the avalanche, it would be too late.

Now, Lin Ran actually called out their master's name and even had to interpret it.

Of course Tenzin Odup would not refuse.

But Mira was very surprised and asked: "Does your temple still have lay disciples?"

"No, I'm just an old friend of Master Ouzhu." Lin Ran said politely. In fact, he also knew that the Bible Debate Conference looked tense, but in fact it was just a way of communication between strangers.

"Okay, then I want to hear what you, a layman, know about Buddhism." Mira looked like she was listening attentively.

"The meaning of these words is that if you want to become a Mahayana person, you should further consider that you want to leave the three realms entirely because you have confirmed that there is no real place to settle down in the entire world of life and death. All sentient beings are just like me."

"If you have the idea of ​​​​excusing yourself and others, you will only suffer pain anytime and anywhere, and you will not be able to obtain happiness."

"Only when you have this understanding, great compassion will arise in your heart, and then you can save all sentient beings, escape the sea of ​​suffering with mortals, and share the fruit of Buddhahood."

After Lin Ran finished speaking, he clasped his hands together like other monks with a pious expression.

Mira and Tenzin Ozu both nodded, very satisfied with their understanding of him.

However, Mira still asked: "Donor Lin's understanding of Tibetan Buddhism is indeed far superior to that of other lay people, but it seems to go against our agenda today."

"This Buddhist philosophy refers to the highest level of morality, a spirit of altruism without expecting anything in return." Lin Ran took a deep breath and continued, "Returning to the identification of sect rules and morality, the stipulations No matter whether it is morality or morality, the true attainment of the Tao is the unity of regulations and morality, which is the Mahayana."

"Therefore, I think we should be lenient to others and strict to ourselves. Use the law to formulate rules instead of using morality to interrogate the law. When formulating the law, you can consider morality. And when doing it, you should Follow the standards of the law.”

"This way you won't be confused. Morality has many dimensions. Everyone's perspective is different and it's impossible to take everything into consideration."

"Only by enacting strict laws can people be kind in their hearts!"

Lin Ran finished his theory, looked around, and then sat back down in his seat with a smile.

The monks were in an uproar, but for a moment no one stood up to refute.

The old monk knocked on the gong and the place became quiet.

He looked at Mira's side calmly and asked: "Master Mira, does your religion have any other opinions?"

Mira looked convinced and said with a smile: "The Sera Monastery has a profound foundation. This time, I lost."

As he announced that there would be no more debates, the crowd behind Tenzin Ozu burst into cheers.

The monks, who usually had few mood swings, were actually hugging each other excitedly at this moment.

Lin Ran couldn't help but think of the college debate. The group of innocent students behaved in the same way after winning the competition.

The old monk recorded Lin Ran's words, then stood up and announced that Sera Monastery had won the debate.

"Donor Lin, what you said is really good." Gesang patted Lin Ran's shoulder gently, "It seems that you have already realized the consciousness of becoming a monk. Are you interested in coming to this temple?"

"It's better to skip it." Lin Ran replied awkwardly.

At the end of the sutra debate meeting, Tenzin Odup personally sent everyone out of Sera Monastery and made an appointment to debate again next year.

Afterwards, the monks in the temple all looked at Lin Ran with admiration and even called him senior brother with such enthusiasm that Lin Ran felt embarrassed.

"Donor Lin, why did you come to see me today?" Tenzin Ouzhu said goodbye to Mila and his party, and returned to the Buddhist temple. "Presumably Donor Lin did not come here specifically to discuss Buddhism with me."

Lin Ran smiled: "Of course not, I came here mainly for two things!"
