Yiyin returned the favor politely and hosted a Buddhist ceremony of such a standard as a nun.
Either he is liked by Odai, or he has a strong background, or both.
Although today, he is destined to part ways with Da Oitai on bad terms, but there is no need to be short on etiquette. The superficial harmony is still necessary.
"Master Tianhai has worked hard."
Tianhai didn't dare to say anything and turned around to lead the way.
"The Great Imperial Palace has asked you several times. I miss you very much. Please come with me."
Yiyin nodded and followed into the Buddhist hall.
"Trouble."
The Buddhist hall is not small, but you can also see a few noble men sitting in front of the Medicine Buddha, and you can vaguely see the back of the grand royal platform.
Worshiping the Buddha means worshiping the Buddha. The noble people listened solemnly to Master Tianhai's instructions and worshiped the Medicine Buddha without daring to slack off.
Most traditional Buddhist temples are filled with pharmacists, and Pure Land Buddhist temples are filled with Amitabha. They are both Buddhists but very different.
Yiyin patiently followed them in worshiping the Buddha, and Master Tianhai also patiently explained.
Her voice is not as sharp as that of a woman, but is slightly deep and magnetic. Her words of advice are gentle and gentle.
Even outsiders like Yiyin, who had no interest in worshiping the Buddha, did not feel irritated, but were somewhat interested in listening to her explanation.
No wonder, the Grand Imperial Office asked her to preside over it.
The Tiantai Sect's Buddhist teachings are profound, and if a Taoist monk who is obsessed with spiritual practice comes here, he may not be able to serve these men who know only a little about Buddhism.
After all, these nobles have different identities. If they get upset and lose their temper because of boring Buddhist principles, it will not be good for the Tiantai Sect.
Taking the upper class route and taking the husband route has been related to the rise and fall of Mount Hiei.
Japanese Buddhism has flourished in recent years since it was introduced to China.
At its peak, Master Yama of Mount Hiei and Master Nara of Kofukuji Temple were both known as the Northern and Southern Masters. They were protectors of Buddhism and had great arrogance.
However, with the decline of the imperial court and the rise of martial arts culture, the mage Wu Ni was far less skilled at fighting than the warrior Ji warriors of the Wu family, and gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Fortunately, the Ashikaga shogunate has a tacit understanding with various Buddhist sects. The secular world belongs to the secular world, and the religion belongs to the religious school. They fight among themselves and have nothing to do with each other.
However, the Miyoshi family started from the humblest and conquered the top, and they were eager to take Kyoto and go one step further, attacking the Buddhist kingdom of Yamato, which broke the tacit understanding between the samurai family and the sect.
Now, all sects and sects are facing a very troublesome new situation. It seems that the Ashikaga family no longer recognizes the previous tacit understanding.
The general is not stupid. He was stabbed in the weak by the Mihaoshi family once. If he doesn't make changes, he will be stabbed next time.
But next time, there may not be another Yoshigan Shiba who will step forward to turn the tide for the Ashikaga family.
After Kofukuji Temple fully supported Yishina Shiba, ensured the logistics of the shogunate army, and helped Ashikaga Yoshiteru win the recent wars, the Tendai Sect felt threatened.
In particular, after Ashikaga Yoshiteru forced Mount Hiei to acknowledge Kofukuji Temple's edict and declared Miyoshi Nagakei an enemy of Buddha, it was no longer possible for the sect to remain neutral in the disputes between the samurai.
In recent years, among the various Buddhist sects, the Tiantai Sect has enjoyed the most comfortable life with its backing to Kyoto and close proximity to the nobles of the shogunate.
However, Hieizan's Buddhism is so profound that it is difficult to compete with the Yixiang Sect for the people at the bottom of the class. It can only draw on its own merits and cannot expand its influence.
The Hosho Sect was declining day by day because it was too esoteric, so it had no choice but to merge into the Shingon Sect in order to survive, which led to the change of owners of Kofukuji Temple.
The new sect of the Shingon sect, Genlai Zhong, went to battle with the Miyoshi family this time. The old sect of the Shingon sect and Shiba Yoshigan allied to repulse the attack of the Miyoshi family.
There are already signs of joining forces in the sectarian disputes and the martial arts war, so where should the Tiantai Sect go from here?
Mount Hiei has no idea of a solution for the time being, so it is very important to maintain a close relationship with the nobles of the shogunate.
The Da Yutai Institute, which was keen on worshiping Buddha, was the one the Tiantai Sect had to please.
To this end, the Tiantai Sect sent Master Ni Zheng Tianhai, whom Da Yutai favored, to preside over the ceremony and accepted an embarrassing request.
The worship of the Buddha was solemn and solemn, and the nobles did not dare to whisper to each other.
It wasn't until after the journey was completed that the waiters took him to a side hall to rest, and the atmosphere became relaxed and cheerful.
Sitting on the top of the Grand Imperial Platform is Master Tianhai, while Yiyin's seat is at the bottom and on the left, which is the most honorable position.
Sitting next to him were the husband of the Hosokawa family and his uncle Mibuchi's husband.
The Wu family values respect and inferiority. Even in the brotherhood, the seats are sorted according to the bloodline, family status and strength of each family without making any mistakes.
According to logic, the position of the Hosokawa family should be in front of Yoshigan.
But he is a real family governor, a real male warrior, and it is true that he is the most expensive among the Grand Imperial Palace.
After sipping tea and chatting for a while, Da Yutai looked at Master Tianhai.
Her heart tightened and she smiled helplessly at Yiyin.
"When Lord Qianxin entered Taoism, I heard that the word Qianxin was chosen by the master of Xingfu Temple?"
Yiyin nodded.
"Exactly."
Tianhai praised.
"I have long heard that Master Changkue of the Shingon Sect has a profound understanding of Buddhist principles, which is indeed extraordinary.
I wonder if Lord Qianxin is the name of the Dharma or the name of the Dharma?"
Yiyin sneered in his heart, it turned out that it started with Ni Zheng of Tiantai Sect, what Ootai did was really stable.
Japanese martial arts have a tradition of becoming a monk.
Because many sects prohibit marriages, and the martial arts family, which has been killing people for half their lives, also likes the motto of putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately, there are many converts.
But there are still differences between becoming a monk and becoming a monk.
Those who enter Taoism and become lay Buddhists are just secular believers who obtain the name of Dharma.
To become a nun is to transcend the mundane world and to obtain the Dharma title.
Shingon Buddhism is a line of esoteric Buddhism, and it is the most profound branch of Japanese Buddhism, even worse than Tendai Buddhism.
The original dispute between the new and old schools was also due to differences in understanding of Buddhism. It can be called a scholarly school in Buddhism.
Although the sect is not powerful, its core is stable and its believers are loyal.
Although the Tendai Sect also claims to have profound Buddhist teachings, it is obsessed with following the path of the upper echelons of the shogunate. Compared with the old scholars of Mount Koya, it has fewer devout believers.
Therefore, even if Koyasan branched off from the Wakayama branch, it could still merge with the Hosō Sect and go back and forth with the Ichiko Sect, which was taking the lower-level route.
Because those nuns who are poor Buddhist monks really study Buddhism deeply, people have to respect them.
While the Tiantai Sect thinks highly of itself, it flatters the nobles in the secular world, and has long been strong on the outside but on the inside.
The old sect of the Shingon sect named Yi Ginrudo, and he naturally belongs to the followers of the sect of the Shingon sect.
The Shingon sect is the most strict school of esoteric Buddhism and prohibits marriage.
If Yiyin takes a Dharma name, he has not become a monk and can still get married.
If it is a Dharma name, it means becoming a monk, cutting off the roots of the world, and will not marry again.
This Tianhai was the person appointed by Da Yutai to initiate the marriage, but she brought along some private goods.
Although the Tiantai Sect once prohibited marriage, today's Tiantai Sect claims to be an integration of the four sects and embraces all rivers.
In fact, He Xini, for the favor of the upper class nobles, broke many stereotypes, including marriage.
What Odaisho is obviously concerned about is whether Yoshigami is willing to marry the Ashikaga family.
Tianhai, however, thinks that the Tiantai Sect is more open-minded than the Shingon Sect, so that it can facilitate marriage, and he smashes the Shingon Sect's black bricks behind his back.
As long as Yiyin takes over, she will definitely explain the different attitudes of the two sects to marriage to the nobles present, and then attract the nobles to favor the Tiantai Sect.
This is not a front-line test for the great emperor.
It's basically a way for salespeople to praise their own products and undermine others. It doesn't show any trace, which is really clever.
