"If there really is a Buddha, you What is lost?
There was a Chinese scholar many years ago. One day, he told people at a conference hall that there is absolutely no possibility that the Buddha could exist. When the audience felt that his words were reasonable, he challenged the Buddha loudly and said: "If you If you are really enlightened, please come down and kill me in front of the broad masses, and we will believe that you exist! He deliberately waited quietly for a few minutes, of course the Buddha did not come down to kill him. He looked around and said to the audience: "You have all seen it, the Buddha does not exist at all!" "How do you
know that there was a woman with a scarf wrapped around her head, stood up and said to him: "Sir, your theory is very good, you are a learned person." I'm just a rural woman and I can't argue with you. I just want you to answer a question in my heart: I have believed in the Buddha for many years, and I have the teachings of the Buddha in my heart, and I am very happy; my heart is full of the comfort that the Buddha gives me; because I believe Buddha, life has the greatest happiness. I would like to ask: If I find that everything the Buddha taught me does not exist when I die, what will I lose if I believe in the Buddha for the rest of my life? "The
scholar thought for a while, and the audience was silent. The audience also agreed with the rural woman's reasoning. Even the scholar marveled at the simple logic. He whispered: "Madam, I think you have not lost anything." "The
rural woman said to the scholar again: "Thank you for such a good answer." I still have a question in my mind: when you die, if you find that the teachings of the Buddha are absolutely true, there are also the existence of the six paths of reincarnation and the existence of beyond the six paths of Buddha, I would like to ask, what have you lost? "The scholar thought for a long time, but was speechless. "
So far, I still remember the shock when I first encountered this article, and the soft, warm light of wisdom that was moved by the peasant women's plain words.
Such a living, such a life, I don't know what Bill Macher would say.
