《楞嚴經 3》
直到玄奘大師（Xuanzang）赴印度求學之時，
知識性的辯論文化仍然盛行。
只要一首包含宗、因、喻的偈頌，
學者們便足以判斷一個論點是否嚴密、是否存在漏洞。
後來，佛教卻逐漸淪為粗暴地劃分「佛」與「魔」。
辯論的精神也隨之失落。
甚至連佛教徒自己，
都已無法分辨什麼才是真正的佛法。
取而代之的，
是謾罵與攻擊。

The Śūraṅgama Sūtra 3
By the time Master Xuanzang studied in India, intellectual debate was still alive.
A single verse containing thesis, reasoning, and example was enough for scholars to judge whether an argument was sound or flawed.
Later, Buddhism was reduced to crude divisions between “Buddha” and “demon.”
The art of debate was lost.
Even Buddhists could no longer tell what was truly Buddhadharma.
Argument was replaced by insults.
Master Banji
