Tan Zong personally stewed chicken for Du He. In order not to pollute the pots and stoves in the temple, he built an earthen stove in the yard.

Du He was gnawing on a big chicken leg, shook it in front of Tanzong, and asked, "Abbot of Tanzong, do you really want to eat it?"

Tan Zong shook his head with disgust.

Du He said while eating: "I know an eminent monk, whose level...how should I put it, is much higher than yours. The eminent monk said: wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha's heart will stay! You see, this thought is higher than yours. Several levels, right?"

Tan Zong was shocked when he heard the words: "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha will keep it in his heart! The words of truth and truth, but I am different from the eminent monk. When I was young, I was obsessed with ghosts and became a bandit in the mountains. I killed many creatures. Converting to Buddhism now is atonement, I just hope that in the future I can go to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss and not fall into hell."

Du He sneered and said, "It's nothing like bullshit. If you're like this, you're going to enter the Paradise of Elysium. Just dream!"

Tan Zong showed displeasure, and said: "The Buddha said, put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately. Everyone has Buddha nature. Why can't they enter the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss?"

Du He quickly finished eating a chicken leg, picked up a bowl of chicken soup, and asked with a smile: "Do you really believe in the saying that you can put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha instantly?"

Tan Zong nodded confidently.

Du He asked: "Then why do ordinary people keep cultivating for the rest of their lives? Why don't everyone become a butcher, and one day they don't want to be a butcher, just put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately?"

Tan Zong was stunned.

This is sophistry...but he couldn't refute it.

Du He asked again: "A school girl who became a prostitute, how do you evaluate the abbot?"

Tanzong thought for a while, and said seriously: "The world's morals are declining, and customs are corrupted!"

Du He chuckled, and continued to ask: "Which prostitute suddenly resigned and went to study?"

Tan Zong said: "Of course it is worthy of praise. I am not depraved when I am in prison."

Du He put down the bowl, touched his mouth, and finally asked: "Then what is the difference between these two women?"

Tanzong: "..."

The guy was speechless.

Du He stood up, patted Tan Zong on the shoulder, and said: "So, you can't become a Buddha, and you can't go to the Land of Ultimate Bliss, because Buddha doesn't exist, and the Land of Ultimate Bliss doesn't exist either!"

boom!

Tanzong seemed to be hit by a bolt from the blue.

So, does Buddha really not exist?

And the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss doesn't exist?

Is what he has believed in for many years... really an illusion?

Seeing Tan Zong's stupid look, Du He patted his buttocks and said, "Look, I have deceived you with a few words. It seems that your Buddha's heart is unstable. It seems that you have no reason to embarrass me. Now, I have a present for you."

Tan Zong hurriedly got up, bowed deeply, and said: "Please enlighten me, Mr. Du, I have practiced for many years, but I didn't expect that I can't speak as much as you, I am really ashamed!"

"Bring the pen and ink!"

Tan Zong hurriedly waited on him with pen and ink.

Under the moonlight, Du He swiped his brush and ink, and first wrote down the words "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra".

Tan Zong looked at it and asked curiously: "What Buddhist scripture is this? Why has the old monk never heard of it?"

Du He laughed and said, "Of course you haven't heard of it. This Heart Sutra is far away in India, thousands of miles away."

Historically, the "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra" was taken by monk Xuanzang on a westward trip and translated from Sanskrit.

But in this era, Du He had never heard of Xuanzang's name, nor did he know whether this person existed, so the "Heart Sutra" naturally did not exist.

It took more than 20 minutes, and Du He silently wrote down the 260-character "Heart Sutra".

When the original Du He was in school, he met a very strange teacher who asked everyone to copy the "Heart Sutra", and also asked the last question of the final exam to write the Heart Sutra silently. Du He has a super memory, so he naturally memorized it.

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, if you practice the deep Prajna Paramita for a long time, you will see that all five aggregates are empty, and you will overcome all hardships..."

As soon as Tan Zong read a few words, his eyes widened.

This Heart Sutra, just over 200 words, actually contains the supreme Buddhist principles!

Especially the sentence "No feeling, thinking, knowing, no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, colorless sound, fragrance and touch, no vision and even unconsciousness, no ignorance and no end of ignorance, no old age and death, no end of old age and death, no suffering. Collecting and destroying Tao, there is no wisdom and no gain." This solves the problem that Tanzong has not understood for many years of practice.

Holding the handwritten "Heart Sutra", Tan Zong was so excited that he grabbed Du He's sleeve and asked, "Young Master Du, may I ask if you really wrote this Heart Sutra yourself?"

Du He laughed and said: "I didn't write it? You go to Chang'an... No, you can find the second Heart Sutra in the whole Tang Dynasty, and I, Du Home, will immediately worship you as my teacher and shave my hair to practice!"

Tan Zong shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, you can't worship me as a teacher, I want to worship you as a teacher..."

Tanzong is not joking, just relying on this "Heart Sutra", Du He is qualified to be the leader of Buddhism in the world.Even today's most prestigious eminent monk may not be able to write scriptures containing such profound Buddhist principles.

Du He was taken aback: "Don't be kidding, I'm not interested in becoming a monk!"

Tanzong also knew that it was unrealistic for Du He to become a monk, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master Du, this Huguo Temple still lacks an honorary head. I intend to ask Young Master Du to be the head of the honorary class. What do you think?"

Du He looked confused: "What's a wrench for? Is it for turning screws?"

Tan Zong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No, no, the head of the class is to guide the monks in our temple to recite and practice. The honor of the head of the class is just to hang a name and answer questions when you have time."

"Is there any benefit?" Du He is determined not to do things that are worthless and work for nothing.

Tan Zong said: "The position of the class leader in the temple is second only to the abbot. If you become the honorary class leader of this temple, no matter which Buddhist temple you go to in the future, you will receive the highest standard of reception!"

"That's it, okay, then I agree!" Du He said nonchalantly.

Tan Zong was happy in his heart.

Without further ado, Tan Zong hurriedly arranged for someone to name Du He, and also issued a ancestral certificate, which is equivalent to a monk's ID card. It only needs to be recorded in the ancestral department saved by the Shangshu.

Then, Tanzong summoned a total of more than 30 monks from Huguo Temple to gather in the main hall, announcing that Du He was the honorary head of the temple.

Many people strongly opposed it at first, but when Tanzong took out the "Heart Sutra", everyone shut up.

All monks with a certain level of realm know the weight of the "Heart Sutra", but what they don't understand is that Du He, one of the four evils in Chang'an, who is endowed with Buddha nature, is able to write such a powerful classic. , it is incredible.

After meeting with everyone, Du He lazily returned to the room.At this time, he was no longer living in a guest room, but in the same yard as Tanzong, which was one of the highest-standard rooms in the temple.

Before going to bed, Du He turned on the super lottery system.
