The history of Xuegong Library is longer than that of the entire Yu Dynasty. Walking in the corridor formed by towering bookshelves, one can clearly smell the smell of ancient wood and old books.

"Detailed Research on the Inheritance of Medieval Zen and Existing Alienated Objects" is here.

Li Ang pushed the ladder with pulleys to the bookshelf, and then boarded the step ladder.

Zangshuge collects books from all over the world. These books span a huge time span and are rich in variety and all-encompassing. From the investigation of local dialects to the habits of a certain insect,

From the fairy tales told to children by the locals in the Far West, to the practice experience written down by the monks in the Candle Sky Realm before their death.

The Academy has specially trained several teams with different divisions of labor, some of whom regularly repair and maintain ancient books;

Some went to collect books from all over the world and brought them back to Zangshu Pavilion;

There are specialists who certify management books—identifying which ones are outdated and too wrong to be worthwhile. Which books are valuable and can be read by students. Which books are of great value but are too dangerous to be permanently sealed.

The high-risk books between the positions of "banned books" and "non-banned books" are all locked by iron locks and chains in Zangshuge, and keys can be used to open them.

Li Ang took out a heavy brass key from his pocket, opened the iron lock, and with the low sound of the chain slipping, took out the ancient book and walked down the long ladder.

Thanks to the constant dust sweeping effect on each bookshelf, there is not much dust inside and outside the ancient books.

Li Ang held several books including "Middle Ancient Zen" and sat down at the desk by the window, flipping through the pages.

[Buddhas are not Buddhas, Buddhas are all human beings,]

Li Ang raised his eyebrows at the beginning of the book. The author of "Middle Ancient Zen" is Lin Liangce, the sage of Yuchu's school. The interviews, as well as Zen historical objects, lead to the conclusion that -

Buddhas are all human beings.

[Siddhartha is a member of the Sakya clan, born in Kapilavatthu, his father's name is Shoutudana, which means pure rice, and he claims to be the King of Pure Rice, a descendant of immortals. His mother is Mahamaya, the eldest daughter of King Shanjue of the neighboring Tianarm City. Mahamaya died seven days after Siddhartha was born, and Siddhartha was raised by his aunt Gotama.]

The book describes in detail the experience of the Buddha's birth, seeking the way, asceticism, enlightenment, etc., and believes that Siddhartha, like other so-called sages and sages, is an ordinary person. It was due to the fate of the day after tomorrow that he embarked on the road of practice and had disciples to spread his ideas. This is how Buddhism in India and the subsequent history of Buddhism being introduced to the Central Plains came into being.

Li Ang continued to turn the page noncommittally. The idea that all saints are all humans is not without market in the academy. Some doctors believe that those deified saints are essentially powerful practitioners.

Including Lao Tzu who was considered as an ancestor by Li Yu's royal family, the first head teacher of Haotian Daomen (the so-called first envoy sent by Haotian to the world), and Yanhuang who was the ancestor of China, etc.

Since everyone is on the path of practice, there is no need to devote themselves to absolute worship, as long as they have respect for the predecessors.

Of course, those doctors thought so in their hearts, and when they came to the academy to hold the Haotian Sacrifice, they would still wear formal clothes to participate.

"If the great monks of the White Horse Temple read the contents of this book, I'm afraid they will be so angry that their brains bleed."

Li Ang shook his head and continued to read.

【. After Siddhartha's death, his disciples spread his ideas all over Tianzhu. However, the disciples have different understandings of the original Zen teachings such as "Four Noble Truths", "Eight Noble Path" and "Twelve Causes and Conditions", and gradually evolved into various sects. To this day, the differences between the various factions are huge, and it is difficult to tell which one is absolutely orthodox. But the relatively most orthodox one, which is said to have inherited the most essence of Siddhartha's thoughts, is still after Siddhartha's death, five hundred arhats jointly compiled the Buddha's teachings in the Qiye Cave in Rajagha City. Namely "Agama Sutra\
