The palace believes that Buddhist scriptures are not said by the Buddha, but are the products of the extinction of the Buddha. The Mahayana Sutra was not said by the Buddha, nor was the Mahayana Sutra said by the Buddha. Buddhist classics are forged, not true.

This is another masterpiece of Pastor Gong's study of Buddhist teachings, and he is complacent. He thinks this can completely deny Buddhism. Because of Buddhist beliefs, Buddhist classics are not based on Buddhism. Monks in China take the apocrypha seriously, but they are stubborn! Only in Japan did he "study" the Buddhist experience of non-Buddhism. Therefore, he repeatedly put the problems of "apocrypha" and "pseudograph" in his "research" (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 46, 47, 69, 73, 74, 75, 82, 88, 103,/kloc-.

(1) Isn't Mahayana what the Buddha said?

In Pastor Gong's imagination, it was found that Buddhist scriptures were not Buddhist words, but a sign of the collapse of Buddhism. In fact, he was wrong again. Because the slogan "Mahayana is not Buddhism" or "Mahayana is magic" originated from the attitude towards Mahayana within Buddhism and has a long history. Buddhism in China has long known this, but it has not been affected at all. Even in today's Japan, Agama who advocates Mahayana is not Buddhism, or even Hinayana, is not a Buddhist, nor a heresy, but a research achievement of Buddhists. However, this is not easy for Christians to understand. Why do Buddhists have a hard time with their beliefs and expose their cards! Pastor Gong said: "Most Japanese monks are followers of Mahayana non-Buddha theory. (Page 36) In fact, in China, many people are followers of Mahayana non-Buddha theory. As long as he respects historical knowledge and understands the development and changes of Buddhist thought, he will admit that this is a historical fact. Agama is not a Buddhist term. Although there is no clear censorship in China, such news is often revealed in articles published in Tide Sound. Even I myself have always thought that the Buddhist scriptures are not all said by the Buddha. Because the contents of Buddhist scriptures are described in five identities: Buddhism, Buddhism disciples, immortals, ghosts and changes, this is clearly expressed in Buddhist scriptures, and Pastor Gong also quoted the words of good guidance to illustrate this point (pages 69-70).

Buddhism is a religion that advocates rationality. I don't want you to blindly accept religious beliefs. Black is black and white is white. If you believe blindly, it is superstition. Therefore, both Japan and China know that Mahayana is not Buddhism, but Buddhists in Japan and China are followers of Mahayana Buddhism. They firmly believe in Mahayana and carry it forward. What is the reason? Pastor Gong may be confused.

The problem is that Pastor Gong only emphasizes the "non-Buddha" side and doesn't understand that "it is the other side of the Buddha". The spirit of "not relying on people according to law" advocated by Buddhism is something that Christians can never imagine. Buddhism believes that what is not said by Buddha is not necessarily Buddhism (as disciples say, etc. ), and Buddhism is not necessarily what the Buddha says (such as Buddha's opening the light, changing his heart, raising his hand, lifting his feet, taking care of the patient, etc.). Therefore, the life of the Buddha, the words and teachings of the Buddha, and the dialogue between disciples sealed by the Buddha have also become Buddhism, which can be seen everywhere in the Ministry of Law and the Ministry of Ahan.

(2) The Mahayana Sutra is said by the Buddha.

Generally speaking, Agama's lessons are still close to the original state, but because of the early Buddhist scriptures, most of them were passed down orally, and it was not until hundreds of years after the extinction of the Buddha that recorded classics appeared. Therefore, in the process of teacher-to-teacher transmission, the possibility of misinformation and loss is beyond doubt; Some even recorded the events after Agama destroyed the Buddha, and the beginning of the scripture was still in the form of "smelling like this", not the tone of Ananda. For example, the story of the Four Evil Kings recorded in Za agama Volume 25640 is because before Ashoka, Greek soldiers invaded India, and it was between tens and hundreds of years after the extinction of the Buddha, not the thousand years as mentioned. This is obviously not the theory of the Buddha, but the persistence of future generations. As for the biography of King Ashoka in Zaagama, it has long been verified that it was not all in Zaagama, but was inserted by later generations. Scriptures like this, of course, are not Buddhist, and we readily admit it. But on the whole, Agama, especially Zaagama, is the most credible Buddhist scripture. As for saying that it must be regarded as 100% Buddhist oral testimony, I believe it is unnecessary. Because, in the book of Agama, there are many stories told by disciples and records of the life of monks in Buddhist society. Why do you have to think that what Buddha says is Buddhism? Therefore, I think the spirit of Japanese scholars to recognize the truth is admirable; The results of their research with the method of historical evolution are also worthy of respect. As for Pastor Gong's view that it is not Buddhism but "apocryphal scripture", he deliberately distorted it.

Speaking of Mahayana classics, there is no doubt that Mahayana classics became the spread of words, but only after the Buddha died 500 years ago. So, I don't believe in Mahayana Buddhist scriptures? On the contrary, I attach great importance to the worship of Mahayana Sutra. I recite the Huayan Sutra every day and worship the northern territory during my seclusion, which Christians will not understand.

This should discuss the form and content of Mahayana Sutra. Judging from the form of Mahayana Sutra, it is undoubtedly the product of the second period of Indian Buddhism (the second 500 years), but the works produced in the second period are not necessarily the elements of the second period. Just like Qin Zhou's story was written in today's style, it can't be said that this style is modern, and Qin Zhou's story is also made up by modern people! Therefore, there is no doubt that the original materials of Mahayana classics are from the Buddha's heart. The spread of Mahayana classics must have been handed down from master to apprentice in the early days, and even some highly dedicated Buddhist disciples sat on the mountain for hundreds of years, and then when someone asked for Dharma, they memorized the classics they knew. Legend has it that the dragon tree entered the snow-capped mountains and got Mahayana scriptures from the old monk, which can illustrate this point.

Of course, the first stage of Indian Buddhism (500 years after the Buddha) was under the control of Hinayana monks, and their thoughts were free. They advocated that the Mahayana Sutra of the spirit of bodhisattva at home would not be welcomed by Hinayana monks. Therefore, the master of modern Taixu called it the period of "small behavior and great concealment". Mahayana classics may therefore be hidden outside the monk group and passed down orally by family members. What is passed down by word of mouth will never remain the same. There is no doubt that the content of Mahayana Sutra contains the elements of future generations' participation and the thoughts of the times. However, if Mahayana is not credible because of this, it is all wet. I want to ask: When your mother gave birth to you, were you still the same as now? Or is there someone else? Is it the same? Still different? Your mother loves you. What about you? If you were not insane, of course you would say: You were born to your mother when you were a child, but you are stronger, smarter and more useful when you grow up; However, your lineage will never become another person when you grow up.

Mahayana Buddhism is more respectable and lovely than Hinayana Buddhism because it is mature and respectable. Especially after the great achievements of Longshu, Wuwu and China, it has been enriched and enriched, and will continue to be enriched and enriched until today and forever. This is the spirit of Mahayana Buddhism, and this is the other side of Mahayana non-Buddha theory.

(3) Buddhism and non-Buddhism

Buddhism and non-Buddhism, not the concern of Buddhism; What Buddhism stresses is: Does it conform to the principles of Buddhism? As long as it conforms to Buddhism, it doesn't matter whether the Buddha said it or not. Buddhism was not created from Buddha's mouth because of his theory. Buddhism spreads all over San Ji. As long as it can be found, it is Buddhism. The Buddha encouraged his disciples to explain (Za Agama, Volume 38, Sutra 1069, Volume 41, Sutra 1 138; Add Agama, Volume 23, Volume 100, etc. ), the disciple said that it is not just chanting Buddha language; If you tell everyone what you really know, it is also Buddhism. So the Buddha said, "What I said is like dust on my paws, and what I didn't say is like dirt. It can be seen that Buddhism has solved the problems of Buddhism and non-Buddhism from the beginning. Now Pastor Gong wants to use this question to deny Buddhism. Didn't you live in vain? He thought it was a weakness of Buddhism, but he didn't know it was a strength of Buddhism. Buddhism does not regard this problem as a castle, but he has tried his best to attack it. Isn't that ridiculous?

Master Yin Shun is very insightful on the question that Mahayana Buddhism is not Buddhism. Readers may wish to refer to the book Mahayana is Buddhism published by Zheng Wen Institution 19501February, which is a special study. This article is only aimed at Pastor Gong's opinion.

In fact, the value of a book or an idea can never be judged by the concept of "idol". If you want to explore the roots of life in the universe, you might as well cut off the kudzu vine that you know everything alone. China's Zen Buddhism has such charm. Buddha or demon, everything is common. Of course, we only explain the value and position of Buddhist scriptures from historical clues, which is the universal truth in the world rather than the first meaning of truth.

Speaking of "fake books", there are many fake books in the world, such as China's Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, Greek Homer's epic, and even British Shakespeare's works. Because the life experiences of their authors are hard to find. In fact, despite the author's historical status, the value of those works is still intact.

However, Pastor Gong never imagined that the most controversial fake book in the world was the Christian Bible.
