After the monk taught Liu Yizhen the advanced concepts of later generations of Buddhism, he went to retreat to study Buddhism hard.

Now it just so happens that Liu Yizhen suddenly left seclusion because he wanted to clean up Buddhism. If there was no contact, even the monk and guide Liu Yizhen would not believe it.

But now that he has arrived, Liu Yizhen will not let the other party be rejected, but still welcomes him into the house.

"Grandmaster."

"Master."

After the two people bowed in a very funny manner, they came to a sitting hall.

"Master, I have understood most of the Buddhist principles, but I still have some questions that I hope Master can correct me on."

"Master, just say it doesn't matter."

The monk clasped his hands together.

"Master, how do you think Buddhism can exist in the Central Plains of Kyushu?"

"Be close to the court and stay away from the court."

The monk guide's eyebrows gradually became sad: "What do you mean? The monk guide is stupid, please ask master to speak clearly."

"Being close to the imperial court means that Buddhism should comply with the imperial court at all times. It should not have the intention of forming a party for selfish purposes, and it should not be aloof. At the same time, believers should be encouraged to contribute to the imperial court."

"Stay away from the court, that is, do not interfere in the political affairs of the court, let alone harm the court officials."

"Buddhas are not found only when there are people, but Buddhas are found only when there is a country. Remember that."

The sad look on the monk's face became even stronger.

He asked again: "Master, if a Buddha cannot see the light, is he still a Buddha?"

"When Sakyamuni Buddha was born, there was no prosperity in Tianzhu. Confucius traveled around the world, and it coincided with the turbulent times of the Spring and Autumn Period."

"But can you say that Sakyamuni is not a Buddha? Confucius is not a saint?"

"The existence of Buddha and saints is not defined by the fact that one person can conquer all enemies in the world. In that case, the concept of saints is not a person like Confucius, but an emperor like the First Emperor of Qin and Emperor Wu of Han."

"The significance of their existence is more important than a prosperous age, because they represent a higher pursuit. Everyone becomes a Buddha and everyone becomes a saint. It is not necessary for the people to set a benchmark for the Three Immortals, but to pursue themselves.

value, guide them to explore their own wisdom, enlighten the people's wisdom, educate people without distinction, this is the meaning of pursuing the Buddha nature in their hearts."

Liu Yizhen does not want to turn Buddhism into a false and empty shell. There are positive things in Buddhist concepts. Otherwise Liu Yizhen would not waste his words to guide monks and guides.

He also hopes that Buddhism can become a tool that can spontaneously improve people's quality in the future.

Some things are actually not convenient for the government to do, nor are they easy to do.

Family, squire, businessman, religion...

Only when these forces are unified, coordinated and coordinated with each other can we move towards a truly prosperous age.

It won't be easy, but it will happen one day.

The monk was prostrate on the ground, his robe rolled up so that he looked like an ancient rock.

"Master...mercy."

Liu Yizhen should be the first person to propose that "everyone in the world should be enlightened".

This concept is too advanced for today's people, and it sounds even more unreliable than the "Three Generations of Rule" proposed by Confucius and others.

But Liu Yi is really confident.

Because he has seen that era.

The monk knelt down on the ground in shame: "Master, I'm telling you the truth. The reason why I suddenly left seclusion was because a former disciple came to see me, so I took advantage of the situation and came to find Master. I concealed Master before, and it was a sin."

"It doesn't matter."

Liu Yizhen was suddenly curious: "The person who came to find you didn't say why he let you out?"

The monk chanted the name of the Buddha: "He said it was because Master hated Buddhist disciples, so he went around arresting them."

"ridiculous."

Liu Yizhen sneered, and the monk leader also lowered his head.

He knew that Liu Yizhen really hated the previous Buddhism, but based on what Liu Yizhen said just now, he also believed that Liu Yizhen was not someone who arrested monks because of his personal preferences.

"It seems they didn't say that I was assassinated by a monk in Baqiao."

Assassination!

The kneeling monk felt that his blood was a little coagulated.

Assassinate Liu Yizhen?

In the eyes of the monk, the current Liu Yizhen is the future of Buddhism. Among contemporary saints, whoever dares to assassinate Liu Yizhen will definitely fight him to the death.

At this time, the monk guide wanted those monks to die even more than Liu Yizhen did.

But for others, Director Seng feels that they should still be given a chance.

Liu Yizhen also agreed to this.

If word spreads about killing those monks, Liu Yizhen's reputation will be damaged.

At this moment, Liu Yizhen still needs to cherish his feathers.

"In three days I will build a Buddhist platform at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. The master can sit on the platform and debate Buddhist principles with other monks."

"If you agree with the master, you should be exempted from guilt and follow the master to learn Buddhism."

"If you don't agree but decide to withdraw from Buddhism and organize the people into household registration, you can naturally ignore the past grievances."

"But if you don't agree and still plan to fight, master, you can't blame me for being cruel."

The conditions given by Liu Yizhen were thought to be loose, even benevolent, and the monk immediately agreed.

"In addition, a master also needs an identity."

"identity?"

"Confucianism can be divided into eight divisions, and Mohism can also be divided into three divisions. There is no reason why Buddhism cannot be divided into sects."

The goal of doing this is not only to allow Liu Yizhen to "distinguish between friends and foes" more clearly in the future, but also to invisibly divide Buddhism.

It can only be said that Liu Yizhen is now used to digging holes and has developed an instinct.

"The master's sect should be different from the previous Buddhism and can stand on its own with Zen Buddhism."

"Zen."

Zen Buddhism focuses on one mind and realizes the nature of one's own mind. It is most in line with the teachings of the current "New Buddhism".

The monk clasped his hands together and remained silent, apparently assuming the identity of the founder of Zen Buddhism.

The news that the monk founded Zen Buddhism and wanted to argue with the monks all over the world spread throughout Guanzhong in an instant.

Some people accuse the monks and guides of being traitors and willing to be the lackeys of the imperial court.

Some have already planned to become martyrs and argue with monks.

There are also those who are eager to try and gain the upper hand by stepping on the monk guide.

For a time, both the captured monks in Guanzhong and those who were not captured became excited.

At this time, at the construction site of Xin Chang'an, a group of monks were chatting together.

"Watch me kill the monk and guide in three days and leave no trace behind!"

"Oh, monks and teachers are nothing but vain people. I think Duke Chang'an is the chief culprit! I have been eating fast and chanting Buddha's name in the monastery since I was a child. When did I ever do such hard work? It's really abominable!"

"Ahem, let's just talk about the monk guide, just talk about the monk guide."

"..."

At this time, a young man came closer and said, "Do you have the confidence to convince that monk? He is a disciple of Kumarajiva."

"So what about Kumarajiva? My master is still Master Faxian!"

The monk who answered the call was quite dissatisfied with being looked down upon. When he looked at the young man, he was a little strange: "All the people imprisoned here are monks. How come you, a commoner, are here?"

The young man untied his crown in a chic way, revealing the half-length hair inside.

"I used to be a recluse, with the Buddhist name Fa Jing. Although I have returned to secular life, I came to Guanzhong after hearing about Master Seng Dao. Unexpectedly, I was arrested as soon as I arrived. It's really bad luck."

Hearing that the young man had returned to secular life, the monk obviously lost interest in the conversation. He dealt with it hastily and discussed with other "senior monks" how to argue with the monk leader three days later.

The young man didn't mind either, but after tying up his hair again, his eyes were full of ridicule.

"Silly bald donkey."

It seems that there will be no APP recommendations next week. This book officially starts streaking. A brave captain is not afraid of difficulties, and he will be finished if he is reckless.
Chapter completed!
