Chapter 532: Great Qin has Buddha Reincarnation(1/2)

After Asoka's death, Mahada inherited his father's legacy and sent monks to preach in other countries.

However, the Mauryan Dynasty at that time was in constant internal chaos.

Mahada and other Asoka's children no longer have enough control over the dynasty.

The quality of the monks they can send out varies greatly.

At that time, the Mauryan Dynasty did not know that beyond the snowy mountains to the north, there was a big country adjacent to it.

That's why monks like Sri Fang, whose professional qualifications were not very good, went to Daqin to preach.

Sri Fang's group of people were originally planning to go to the Western Regions to preach.

By chance, he entered Da Qin.

What happened next, Mishaka also found out clearly when he was in the Western Region.

After learning about Sri Lanka's pretense in Daqin, even though Misaka claimed to be a master of Buddhism, he still wanted to hack that guy to death!

The monks of the Mauryan Dynasty who succeeded in preaching in other countries would receive generous rewards.

For example, reward them with an area, build a temple, and preside over it.

It is precisely because of these interests that the monks' determination to preach to lay people was born.

However, we have to admit that the quality of monks is indeed uneven, which is worrying.

The Maurya dynasty was extremely powerful in South Asia.

Therefore, the monks have always been very successful in promoting Buddhism in the surrounding small countries.

During the Asoka period, basically all surrounding countries had converted to Buddhism.

The previous success made many lower-level monks start to feel restless.

So much so that they felt that they had the Maurya Dynasty as their backing.

When I am promoting Buddhism, as long as I show off in front of the people in power in other countries, they will definitely bow to me.

But what they don't know is.

This method can only be applied to countries that are not as powerful as the Mauryan Dynasty.

Not to mention a behemoth like Great Qin that was not weaker than its own country, even the several barbarian tribes in the northern part of Great Qin would not give the monks any face.

Sri Fang was trying to show off to the Xiongnu and wanted to trick Touman Shanyu into believing in Buddhism.

In the end, their group of people were killed directly by Touman Shanyu!

Missionary missionary work is, to put it bluntly, a cultural invasion.

The competition behind this is actually the strength of both parties.

Although all major religions seem to lead people to do good, their teachings seem to be extremely righteous.

However, in the history of the development of religion, which page is not stained with blood?

Those idiots in Sri Lanka did not understand these principles, so they died inexplicably.

But how could Mishaja not understand!

Because of Sri Lanka's previous manipulations, it is now extremely difficult for Buddhism to be promoted in the Qin Dynasty.

But Mishaka had a reason to do so.

This starts with the internal chaos of the Mauryan Dynasty.

After Asoka's death, many of his children were obsessed with preaching Dharma and preaching religion, and were not very interested in major affairs of the country.

Therefore, the Mauryan Dynasty almost reached the point of falling apart.

The Baiyan Dynasty in the south, which had been in a semi-independent state, directly declared independence under the leadership of Xumuga.

Other territories that were forcibly merged together by King Asoka also rebelled one after another.

It can be said that in the past twenty years so far, the Maurya Dynasty has been in constant turmoil, showing a trend of ups and downs.

This situation lasted for a long time, and the monks began to become anxious.

Religion, to put it bluntly, is a blood-sucking parasite attached to the country.

Therefore, the parasitized country began to weaken, which had a great impact on religion.

Buddhism was founded more than 400 years ago, and during the decades of King Ashoka's reign, its power expanded rapidly.

After tasting the sweetness of parasitism, no one is willing to let them live the miserable life they had before.

What the monks were thinking about was not how to use their own power to help the Maurya Dynasty get back on track.

Instead, they decided to replace the blood-sucking target with a new one.

I have received huge benefits from the Maurya Dynasty before.

When they are looking for the next target, they naturally don't want to be worse than the previous one.

However, there is a saying that the Mauryan Dynasty during Ashoka's reign was extremely powerful and quite capable of fighting.

Looking around, the surrounding countries, even the countries in the Western Regions, are all younger brothers.

Therefore, after Mishaka learned about the existence of Da Qin, he was ecstatic.

During the time in the Western Regions, even though he had not yet gone to Da Qin, he had already felt the power of Da Qin.

In order to preach in Daqin, he did not hesitate to spend half a year preparing.

As a result, the incident with Sri Lanka gave him a blow to the head.

Despite this, Mishaka still had the courage to come.

After careful planning for a long time, he finally decided to meet Ying Zheng.

Make inferences based on the analysis of the information collected by Mishaka.

He believed that after Ying Zheng saw him, he would immediately order him and others to be imprisoned.

Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng didn't take them seriously at all.

I don't even want to see them.

At this time, Mishaka could only do the next best thing and come to South Vietnam to find Zhao Kun, the prince of Qin.

Unexpectedly, after meeting Zhao Kun, Zhao Kun didn't say much to them and just placed them in a side room of the inn.

After a restless night, I was received by Zhao Kun again.

At this time, Misaka recited a line of Buddha's blessing in his heart and made a Buddha salute to Zhao Kun.

"My Buddha is merciful! Misaka is an outsider. He only kneels before the Buddha in his whole life. Please forgive me, Prince!"

"No problem!"

Zhao Kun waved his hand indifferently: "Are you a disciple of Motuo? I heard that he served the Buddha in the Lion Kingdom and has ignored secular affairs for a long time. What did you do when you came to Daqin?"

"!!!"

After hearing Zhao Kun's words, Misaka looked shocked.

I had long heard that the Prince of Qin knew it almost from birth, but I didn’t expect that he had even heard of the Lion Kingdom.

"Back to the Crown Prince. More than twenty years ago, my master was in a state of oblivion when he detected a Buddha's light filling the sky in the northwest, as if a Buddha had been born..."

"Um?"

As soon as Mishaka said this, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly.

Even the monks who accompanied him looked at Misaka in disbelief.

Buddha has the supreme status in Buddhism.

Today's Mauryan Dynasty has so many monks that there is no household without a monk.

But with such a huge number, none of the Buddhist monks can obtain the title of 'Buddha' while alive.

Even though the master of Misaka, as the recognized reincarnation of Brahma, converted to Buddhism, he only achieved the status of Arahant.

But Mishaka now says that the ‘Buddha’ is in Da Qin.

The people of Qin did not understand the meaning of this, but these monks did.

Once the reincarnated Buddha is recognized by Buddhism.

Then his appeal in Buddhism is unparalleled.

Even, under certain circumstances, today's monks have to listen to his call.

After saying this, Mishaka closed her eyes in pain.

In fact, he would never make such a heavy promise if it was not necessary.

Mishaka still remembers that when he left the Lion Kingdom and went north to preach, he communicated with his teacher Mahada all night long.

Motuo told him that if one day he went to Daqin, he would find that the country in the north was more powerful than they imagined.

So, no matter what method is used, Buddhism must be promoted to Da Qin.

As a Buddhist wise man who grew up in the royal family of the Mauryan Dynasty, Mahada also had a very high vision.

He could naturally see that the declining Mauryan Dynasty was already dying from internal strife.

If this continues, within ten years, the Mauryan Dynasty may cease to exist.
To be continued...
