Chapter 706

Gabriel: "If you don't believe in the Buddhist sect's doctrines, why not join Heaven?"

Aqua: "The doors of the Axis Order are always open; you are welcome to join."

Fa Hai: "..."

Su Xiao: "Laughing to death. One Heaven that produced a salted-fish angel and a fun-loving angel, and one sect that produced a brain-dead goddess—Master Fa Hai definitely wouldn't want to join."

Umaru: "Exactly, none of them are reliable. @Zhang Taixuan, Brother Taixuan, is this Buddha really not worth cultivating?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Although I belong to the Daoist sect, what I want to say is—why not?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Many of the Buddhist sect's doctrines are still quite good. It's just that the monks and practitioners have misread the scriptures."

Zhang Taixuan: "Of course, I also strongly disapprove of some Buddhist scriptures—in ancient times, sects often intimidated believers to spread their teachings, saying that if you don't believe in Buddha, you will go to the eighteen levels of hell."

Fa Hai: "Such words do indeed exist in the Buddhist scriptures. Sigh... I hadn't realized it before, but now that Master Jin Chan has said it, I understand that these sect classics have long been mixed with too many things that shouldn't be there. It seems that the Buddhist scriptures should be revised in the future, and those parts that intimidate others should be deleted."

Jin Chan: "Please don't call me Master, thank you! I am no longer a monk."

Zhang Taixuan: "Besides that, it is very difficult for a sect to flourish if it truly acts according to the doctrine of compassion. You have all heard the story of the three Bian Que brothers, right?"

Su Xiao: "I know, I know!"

Su Xiao: "The eldest brother of Bian Que had the best medical skills, preventing illness before the patient was sick, so his fame was not prominent; the second brother of Bian Que had secondary medical skills, curing patients when they just had minor ailments, so his fame was secondary; Bian Que himself had the worst medical skills among the three brothers, treating only patients with serious illnesses, so his fame spread far and wide."

Zhang Taixuan: "If Master Fa Hai were truly compassionate and killed demons as soon as they caused trouble, without fostering them to maintain his own importance, then the sect's reputation would be hard to build. Although you would actually save more people, the public would trust those sects that foster demons to maintain their importance more."

Ye Hei: "The logic is indeed like that. Without great disasters, how can incense and faith be firm!"

Fa Hai: "Amitabha, this poor monk has cultivated Buddha since childhood, for over five hundred years, and has always cherished a heart of compassion. If I were to disregard human life for the sake of incense and the development of the sect, then why would I bother cultivating Buddha!"
