Chapter 737: Missing a Boat and a Sail

In Buddhism, "a stubborn stone nodding" is equivalent to "becoming a Buddha and attaining enlightenment."

Becoming a Buddha and attaining enlightenment is the ultimate goal of great wisdom.

Therefore, under the extreme contrast of 'In the earth gate for a thousand years, no one has attained enlightenment; in the human world for a year, an iron spirit can become a Buddha', Great Wisdom was successfully convinced by Qiao Tathagata.

Lu Ping thought that such an argument was ridiculous.

'The stubborn stone nods' is just one of the standards for 'becoming a Buddha' in Buddhism.

Since Great Wisdom has made a great wish to save all mankind, to bring world peace, and to prove that the Earth Gate is a pure land on earth, then the standard should not be so narrow.

To take a step back, even if it is proven that one can attain enlightenment in this world, it cannot prove that one cannot become a Buddha on earth.

This is a very simple logic -

Just because the graduation rate has been zero for a thousand years does not mean that it will be zero in the next two thousand, three thousand, or ten thousand years!
"Come to think of it, I still don't know what to call the donor?"

"I'm Lu Ping."

Quezhou nodded and said, "Donor Lu, Quezhou is not interested in a simple martial arts competition."

"But if the donor is willing to debate and find out the mistakes of the Earth Gate, Quezhou welcomes it."

Lu Ping thought for two seconds and understood what Quezhou meant.

Direct hitting is not okay;

But you can debate first, and then start fighting when you can’t win the argument, that’s fine!

"Hey... As I said just now, I'm not completely against what the Earth Gate is doing, but since you said so, I'll have to change my stance and give it a try."

"Um...donor, please!"

Lu Ping had never participated in a debate, but he had seen others do so;
At the same time, he is also an old user of Tieba. Although he has never been a keyboard warrior, he has witnessed countless online arguments between people.

So when it comes to arguing and quarreling, he thinks he still has some tricks up his sleeve.

(1 point = 10 centimeters = 100 millimeters)
After thinking silently for a minute, Lu Ping spoke.

"Human nature is complicated. There are some people in this world who don't like peaceful and happy days."

"Some people just like to endure hardships without suffering, like to sacrifice themselves and be moved by themselves in an almost morbid environment in a life full of hardships, bitterness, and hatred. Only in this way can they achieve spiritual and physical redemption."

"That is determined by human nature and genes, and it is not something that can be changed by reshaping memory."

"And the environment these people need to attain enlightenment is bound to be contrary to that of the vast majority of people, and is also inconsistent with the pure land created by the Earth Gate."

“It can be seen that the practice of the Earth Sect is not comprehensive and cannot help everyone attain enlightenment.”

"The aspirations of great wisdom were impossible to achieve from the beginning."

Is there such a person in the world? !

Well...indeed, it seems that there really are such people in the world!

Quezhou was slightly stunned when he heard this and thought for a few breaths.

"People's character does have some innate elements, but it is obviously more influenced by acquired factors, such as the ancient story of Meng's mother moving three times."

"Wrong and dangerous mentalities and thoughts can and must be corrected with correct and powerful education. This is also what great wisdom must do to save people."

"What's more, correcting wrong or dangerous mentalities and thoughts is not something that only exists in the Earth Gate!"

"There are also many people doing it outside the ground gate!"

"At least most parents and teachers will teach their children and students what is right and what is wrong." Quezhou said, looking at Lu Ping strangely, as if to say: You just thought about it for so long, and finally said this? How disappointing!

Lu Ping looked embarrassed, but he said stubbornly: "Maybe the example I gave is not very appropriate, but you did not solve the two fundamental problems reflected in this example."

"That is, 'The Earth Gate is destined to be unable to help everyone attain enlightenment' and 'Humanity's contradictions and conflicts can never be eliminated'!"

After hearing this, Quezhou thought for a few seconds and said, "We cannot help everyone to attain enlightenment, and we cannot eliminate conflicts between people. That is only because we are incapable, not because our philosophy itself is wrong."

Lu Ping: “…”

You would say that now?
Then why didn't you mention it when facing Qiao Rulai's "Theory of the Black Fox"?

In my opinion, it is because of your lack of ability, not wrong ideas.

Lu Ping: "The Earth Gate only brings a false life."

Quezhou: "When everyone is under the management of the Earth Gate, there will be no false life, everything will be real."

Lu Ping: "Great wisdom wants to help people attain enlightenment, but people may not be willing to attain enlightenment."

Quezhou: "Among the countless living beings, who can really make decisions for themselves?"

Life is fake, it kills humanity, it cannot solve fundamental problems, and it is not the life people want...

Four or five consecutive questions had been raised in the original drama, and in the end, they were all denied by Quezhou with different answers.

But to Lu Ping, his answers sounded a bit like hooliganism.

Lu Ping raised his eyebrows, continued to ponder for a while, and said: "This practice will eliminate the possibility of human enlightenment and block other ways to achieve enlightenment."

Quezhou shook his head, still not agreeing with this answer: "Most people in the world live a mediocre and muddled life, and will never be able to attain enlightenment. But under the management of the Earth Gate, most people are one step closer to attaining enlightenment than before."

"If we sacrifice the best people to improve the overall quality, isn't it worth it?"

"Besides, those people may not all have died!"

“The selfless mantra only corrects the direction of the controlled person’s thoughts, but does not limit human creativity and imagination, just like controlling the rudder of a ship but does not stop the ship from moving forward.”

“The philosophy of great wisdom is always to help people save themselves!”

After several rounds of verbal confrontation, Quezhou's defense was as solid as a rock, leaving no loopholes.

"Great wisdom is also made up of the thoughts of human beings. Since we are human, we have flaws and can be affected."

“The strongest fortress is often destroyed from within.”

"If a 'Bo Xun disciple' appeared in a certain Heaven and Earth Gate and polluted the database of Great Wisdom with heresy and sophistry, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

Mara is the most famous demon Buddha in Buddhist scriptures, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, and an evil demon who is well versed in Buddhism.

According to the story, before his death, Po Xun predicted that one day an evil demon who would inherit his ideas would disguise himself as a Buddhist disciple and disrupt Buddhism and destroy Buddhist studies.

The disciples of Poxun mentioned by Lu Ping are the evil demons who "use Buddhism to destroy Buddhism".

In the original story, Dazhi's thoughts were polluted by King Yan, so that he finally gave up his thousand-year persistence and directly swallowed up Quezhou, the questioner.

This is actually understandable.

Although the Great Wisdom gathers the wisdom of 108 eminent monks, this wisdom ultimately has its limits.

When King Yan's consciousness entered and Great Wisdom confronted him, what took place was not a 108-to-1 battle;

Quezhou was silent for a long time: "This... is not the answer!"
