The Bitter Realm's Beacon Fires: The Strange Buddha

No wonder the circle is so small. On one hand, they feel that no one is writing, and on the other hand, they keep expressing their own opinions and criticizing what others write. It's no wonder that there are fewer and fewer of them.

It's more realistic for everyone to become a Buddha than for those shady Buddhists. Buddhist sects in the suffering realm only sacrifice the people. Those with different ideas are excluded, such as those who ask Bodhi and those who discuss Buddhist swordsmanship. Nowadays, people don't need to believe in these people at all. They only care about those schizophrenic laws and don't care about the people's livelihood. Buddhism should have enlightened itself long ago.

Let me ask another question. What about ordinary people who die in the war between the Desire Realm and Buddhism? What about ordinary monks? Necessary sacrifices? Then is what you did different from what the Buddhas of Heaven did?

Just keep him in line and don't try to follow in the footsteps of the grandmasters.

The most disgusting thing about Buddhism and Confucianism is that they control the right of interpretation and then start applying double standards. For example, "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot!" This is a very clear statement; it can be interpreted as putting down the butcher's knife in one's heart, etc.

I thought it would be another good Pili novel, but after taking a look, it turns out to be a book of subtle satire and arbitrary misinterpretations. The protagonist is a monk, yet he doesn't even seem to understand basic Zen principles. It feels like he's just focusing on other people's faults while ignoring their merits. His foundation is weak, so he needs to work on it.

Here are some personal thoughts, take them with a grain of salt. I feel the author wrote this book because he liked Ji Wuxia, which is why the protagonist starts with Buddhism, then tries to exonerate Mara, and then connects with other Buddhist sects. Actually, it's not easy to write about Buddhism in Pili fanfiction. Pili's Buddhism has various concepts, but the actual content is contradictory.

A self-indulgent novel that has completely abandoned its basic premise; perhaps it would be better to step outside the realm of Pili Puppet Theater and see how it fares.

"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot; the innocent are not innocent." Understand the meaning of this phrase before writing; such sophistry is disgusting.

I've given up; it's pointless. You've completely misunderstood the concept of Buddhism. Even if the Buddhist teachings in the Bitter Realm are biased, they're not as biased as yours. Calling you Mara is almost an understatement. As a classic Buddhist saying goes, you're making my demonic offspring learn and corrupt Buddhism.
