Chapter one hundred and sixty-six monk mouse tail juice
Monk Kongkong chatted with Wang Yongchang about Confucian scriptures, and also added Buddhist teachings from time to time. If it weren't for the cassock on his body and his bald head, it would be impossible to tell that he was a monk, but more like a great Confucian.
In this era, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have begun to show signs of integration. The main reason is that the cultural atmosphere of this era is quite open.
All three schools are full of wisdom, and human nature is also to pursue wisdom, so ordinary readers will not reject the classics of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.
There are also many people who are familiar with the three classics. For example, Monk Kongkong is one of them. He can almost get Confucian classics, Buddhist scriptures, and Taoist classics at his fingertips. At this time, Ye An realized that this great monk was not as stupid as he seemed.
.
Seeing Wang Yuan and Ye An appear, Monk Kongkong immediately stood up with a smile and stepped forward: "Amitabha! Mr. Yuanbo is well. I haven't seen you for a long time. This poor monk misses the scene of discussing scriptures with Mr. under the moon. He is quite emotional! Today
This time Fellow Daoist Ye came to visit, and the poor monk realized that he was Mr. Yuanbo's disciple!"
Wang Yuan knew what Monk Kongkong was going to do as soon as he spoke. He ignored the trap in his words and waved his hand and said: "Changsheng is my student, and he is not considered my student. He wants to enter the palace and the official family."
Read along, half of them are considered disciples of the emperor!"
As soon as the words of knocking came out, Monk Kongkong's expression changed. He looked at Ye An in surprise and said: "I never thought that you, a little Yangcheng Yelang, would be so lucky to be favored by the Holy Family. I'm so happy and congratulated. I'm so happy.
Congratulations! So Mr. Yuanbo is going to give lectures in the palace?"
Wang Yong whispered from the side: "My uncle has been appointed by the saint as the Yishan of Zishantang, and he will teach the Four Books and Five Classics to the officials."
Monk Kongkong sighed: "It is indeed Mr. Yuanbo. Only a man with outstanding knowledge like Mr. can be admired by the saints, and only a scholar as talented as Mr. Ye can become an official's attendant!"
Monk Kongkong's words made Wang Yuan very uncomfortable, and he slowly said: "Where are the words from fellow Taoists? Changsheng is a student of my Confucian literature and art. I'm afraid what the great monk said is inappropriate!"
Monk Kongkong frowned slightly and looked at Ye Andao: "Longevity? Such a word is too arrogant. Aren't you a Taoist? Why did you become a student of Confucianism again?"
Ye An shrugged his shoulders: "No way, my master gave it to me, and Ye An also thought it was quite catchy. The key is that it's easy to remember. I'm afraid I won't forget it if I call it once.
As for whether I am a Taoist priest or not, it seems to have nothing to do with the great monk. Who said that if you become a Taoist priest, you cannot study Confucian classics? Aren't you also involved in the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism?"
Monk Kongkong shook his head: "You are really in a good mood. Monk can't say that to you. I wonder, Mr. Yuanbo, what do you think of this student?"
Wang Yuan laughed loudly and said: "You can list the ten evils of Buddhism at the door of my Wang family. Great monk, where can I find such a student?!"
Monk Kongkong laughed loudly: "Okay, okay! So it turns out that the poor monk is in trouble!"
Wang Yuan smiled slyly: "I have never been a pedantic Confucian. Although the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is not what I want as a Confucian general, Buddhism has indeed gone too far over the years. If it is not a threat to the country, I will not go to war with Buddhism.
As you said, your Buddhism is destroying the foundation of the country, and your evil is no less serious than the enemy’s foreign invasion!”
Monk Kongkong was shocked: "How come Mr. Yuanbo also wants to suppress our Buddhist sect?"
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Then it depends on how you behave in Buddhism. Most of the ten evil people in Buddhism in the world are among the ten evil people. Even your Daxiangguo Temple is also distributing longevity money and longevity money. Do you really think that the Gonggun princes in the court are doing it?"
Don’t you know the harm?!”
Monk Kongkong's face fell instantly: "There are so many monks and monks in the Daxiangguo Temple. We still have to maintain the expenses of repairing the temple and gilding the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas. There is nothing we can do."
Wang Yuan looked at Monk Kongkong's appearance and said coldly: "Don't think that everyone in the world is a fool. Your Daxiangguo Temple is so rich that even Monk Kongkong can eat like this. Are there any thin people among those monks in Xiangguo Temple?
?I heard that the monks in your Xiangguo Temple even have a layer of oil floating on the night incense!"
Monk Kongkong stopped talking. He found that after Ye An listed the ten evils, Wang Yuan's attitude became extremely bad. It was not just because he lost, but because Confucianism had grasped a key point of Buddhism, greed.
This is an issue that Monk Kongkong did not pay attention to before. The monks in Daxiangguo Temple have no worries about eating and drinking, so naturally it is not greedy, but the two things of longevity money and longevity treasury can be considered fatal.
Monk Kongkong has been in the secular world for a long time, and he is very clear about what secular people hate. The most disgusting thing in the world is injustice.
Buddhist monks eat like gangsters, while ordinary people can only look at it with greed. This is unfair.
The temple does not need to pay taxes, but the people still need to rent fertile land from the temple. This is unfair!
Ye An's ten evils hit the point, and now Wang Yuan can easily use them to criticize Buddhism. Only by changing can Buddhism be reborn, but Monk Kongkong knows that as Ye An said, it is too difficult for Buddhism to change...
…
While speaking, he saw Ye An sitting in his seat, holding up the teacup in his hand and saluting him from afar. Seeing this scene, Monk Kong Kong almost couldn't help but beat up this cunning boy.
He just made a start, and more people will join in the fight against Buddhism. This is a very painful thing. Monk Kongkong knows the reason and how to do it, but he can't do it!
Slowly walked towards Ye An and said: "My friend, do you have any solution to this problem?"
Ye An put down the teacup, looked at Monk Kongkong's fat face and said: "Master, you have asked the right person, of course there is!"
Just when Monk Kongkong looked happy, Ye An said with a smile: "I will tell you if you become your teacher!"
Not to mention Monk Kongkong, even Wang Yong and Wang Yuan who were standing beside him couldn't help but stumble. What he said was really arrogant.
No matter how you say it, Monk Kongkong is still an eminent monk in the Daxiangguo Temple. Even if you give a lecture, thousands of people come to receive his teachings and worship Ye An as their teacher? Why?!
Unexpectedly, Monk Kongkong was not angry. After a slight surprise, he smiled and said: "As long as my friend can help me return to Buddhism, it is not a bad idea to become my teacher, but..."
Ye An stood up with a smile, patted Monk Kong Kong's broad shoulder and said: "Since I can list the ten evils of Buddhism, and you can also find the ten benefits from them, I must be able to show you the way, great monk, Mouse Tail Juice
!”
After Ye An finished speaking, he didn't wait for his answer, but looked at Wang Yuan and said: "Sir, the student has gained the spirit of literature today and has some insights in his heart, so he doesn't dare to nag. Wang Shibo, thank you for your hospitality!"
Wang Yuan looked at the helpless monk Kong Kong beside him, and said with emotion: "You are the only scholar I have seen in these years who can be regarded as a scholar. If you keep improving in the future, you can achieve great achievements!"
Ye An smiled and shook his head: "Students don't covet those things. Students just want to live a stable and wealthy life. There is no other reason for this!"
Wang Yuan snorted: "If you are good at learning, you will become an official! You have to think about it even if you don't want to, otherwise you will be sorry for the sage's book you read! Wang Mo uses my car to drive him back!"
Ye An originally planned to refuse Wang Yuan's kindness, but when he saw his meaningful eyes, he agreed: "Student's bullock cart... It is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"
