Chapter 433 - 38 Gu Wen Buddhist Law_2
Qianfeng Steward took out a thick Yellow Book, Chi Yu Zi and Gu Wen scanned it with Divine Thought, the former looked through half of it with decreasing interest and retracted his divine senses.
Buddha Ancestor discoursed, "The slaughtering blade is the demon in the heart, only by putting it down can one become a Buddha."
It must be murderous and arsonous evil thoughts that give rise to the Buddha Heart capable of instant enlightenment.
Gu Wen found it quite interesting and started to read it intently, discovering similarities with the Daoist Sect’s techniques.
Daoist Sect emphasizes a clear and desireless heart, restraining worldly desires through behavior. This Buddhist scripture similarly discusses first generating evil thoughts and then eliminating them.
Ultimately, it is not for the sake of goodness but for the sake of cultivation.
"Master Jade Sword Buddha asked, ’If one commits all kinds of evil, can one still become a Buddha?’ Buddha Ancestor answered that it was still possible, and then Master Jade Sword Buddha killed the high monk possessed by Buddha Ancestor."
"In the future Buddha Meetings, Master Jade Sword Buddha will surely be there, repeatedly inquiring about the method of instant enlightenment upon abandoning the slaughtering blade. He killed ten Bodhisattvas, leading Sumeru Mountain to repeatedly accuse the Daoist Sect of crimes."
The Qianfeng Steward began listing various pieces of information gathered, there are no impervious walls under heaven, and the monks are not all Bodhisattvas or Buddhas.
Gossip is a common human trait, especially when the conflict involves monks from all small and large Buddhist Vehicles.
