The collective visit of the Japanese spiritual group immediately focused the attention of senior Chinese and Japanese people, and their nerves became highly tense.
In the decades since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Buddhist circles of China and Japan have often had large-scale visits to each other due to the same roots and a geographically separated relationship. In particular, in recent years, a series of large-scale pilgrimages conducted by Japanese Buddhist sects have been quite frequent.
Since 1984, almost every year, Japanese Shingon sect followers have visited China for Buddhist exchanges, tourism, or pilgrimages.
One of the more influential ones is that in 2004, a visiting group of about 350 people organized by the Shingon Sect of Japan visited Fujian and made a pilgrimage to Kaiyuan Temple in Fujian where Kobo Daishi once lived; in addition, in October 2010, Japan's Koyasan University and
The Hong Kong Chinese Esoteric Teaching Association jointly held a large-scale Buddhist exchange event, leading believers from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan to re-walk the pilgrimage to the Holy Land of the Tang Dynasty, which received great response. On April 9, 2o11, Koyasan Shingon Esoteric Sect Qingliangyuan
The abbot, Master Ciyuan, once again started the pilgrimage to "re-travel the path of Master Kobo to the Tang Dynasty", which attracted the attention of the Chinese and Japanese spiritual circles.
Not only the Shingon Sect, but also the Pure Land Sect, the Tendai Sect, the Lotus Sect, or other Japanese Buddhist sects, all have deep exchanges and contacts with the Chinese Buddhist practice community.
For senior Chinese and Japanese officials, this kind of activity is nothing more than a common occurrence.
However, it is the first time that various sects in the Japanese spiritual community have mixed together and traveled to China under the banner of friendly exchanges. Although the top leaders of China and Japan also believe that this group of spiritual practitioners will not bring about their own destruction and cause any earth-shaking
Something happened, but such a group of big practitioners running around arrogantly could not help but make them extremely nervous.
The Japanese spiritual practice world has penetrated deeply into the Japanese political arena, so the Japanese high-level officials were unable to organize this group of great spiritual practitioners to march aggressively into the hinterland of China. In desperation, they had no choice but to secretly say hello to the Chinese high-level officials: Boss, our spiritual practice here is
They are a bit naughty and want to come to your place to have some fun together. If they have any conflicts with your local practitioners, that is none of our business!
China has always adopted a strategy of overtly relaxing and covertly monitoring the spiritual world. Although they were wary in their hearts, they promised in a very courteous manner: "Don't worry, China and Japan have always been friendly neighbors to each other, and there will be no conflicts."
.Good neighborliness, harmony and stability are the main themes!”
But after putting down the phone, the Chinese top management issued an extremely strict order to never allow any form of friction between the two parties to occur. Otherwise, if something happens and destroys the current harmonious society and stable situation, you will bear the consequences!
This order has made a group of officials on the Chinese Religious Council very worried. They have maintained a very low-key posture over the years, lest they appear more in front of secular mortals, thus causing some unhappiness to the senior officials.
Necessary trouble.
But now it's better. These Japanese devils really took the wrong medicine. They came to China in a group regardless of sects or beliefs. How to receive this?
Although the scandal that broke out in the Japanese spiritual world a while ago was strictly controlled, some news reached the ears of these officials. At first, they were a little gloating about the misfortune, but soon the Japanese spiritual world went berserk.
It made them stop laughing.
In order to deal with this situation, the council held an emergency meeting, and representatives of the major spiritual sects gathered together to discuss how to deal with this difficulty.
Most of these representatives were once leaders of various sects in the spiritual world, and most of them were even direct relatives of various sects. They were originally vigorous practitioners, but after working as officials for a long time, they became tainted.
The atmosphere of bureaucracy was full of clichés and officialese. The meeting was full of lifelessness and sluggishness even after the meeting lasted all day, and no result could be reached from the discussions.
Discussions came and went. A group of bureaucrats in the spiritual world and practitioners in the officialdom stared at each other with no idea at all. Liu Chunping, the secretary-general of the council who presided over the meeting, suddenly became a little annoyed. He slammed the table and shouted:
"You are the ones who caused everything. How can we deal with it? Isn't there anything you can do about it?"
This Liu Chunping had a fat head, big ears, and a fat head. He looked like an out-and-out bureaucracy. He slapped his fat palm on the table, causing the teacups on the table to jump.
The middle-aged man closest to him made a lightning-fast move when the teacup was about to fall over, stabilized the teacup, and laughed softly: "Secretary-General Liu, don't worry, this matter actually has nothing to do with us, it's not us.
It was caused by that Li Yundong!"
After Liu Chunping's bridge project case a few years ago, he was assigned to a position on the "frontier of officialdom". Although he was not a big official, he could be regarded as a veteran in the officialdom. Naturally, he had already done this beforehand.
I have a thorough understanding of the whole incident, and of course I know who this Li Yundong is.
Although his position sounds bluffing, it is in name only. It is the poverty among the poor. The Qingshui Yamen among the Qingshui Yamen has even less power than the secretary-general of a county party committee, although it can be regarded as a Beijing official.
Son, who is behind Li Yundong?
Li Yuanbo, Zhou Keqiang!
These are all feudal officials!
Going back another two hundred years, these are all governors and governor-level figures who hold the power of life and death, and what about me? At best, he is just a small thing in the Ministry of Rites, not even a servant!
Besides, the officialdom is intricately intertwined and complicated. Who is standing behind Li Yuanbo and Zhou Keqiang? Liu Chunping is going into a cold war just thinking about it. Who is this character that he can provoke?
It's okay that the middle-aged man didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, he suddenly became more and more angry. He didn't ask this man to help him hold the teacup steady. He puffed up his eyes and shouted: "Nonsense, the main point of discussion now is
How to deal with it, how to solve it, what’s the use of pursuing the problem!”
What he said made the representatives of other sects look at each other, and secretly cursed in their hearts: Didn't you start the conversation just now? Huh, it's you at best, and you at worst!
But these representatives from various sects have been in the officialdom for a long time, and each one of them has become extremely slick. Although they are unhappy in their hearts, they have all calmly acted like cowards. No one is willing to do so.
This is a matter of hitting the first target.
Liu Chunping saw that everyone was like a sawed-off gourd and kept silent. He became more and more unhappy: "Why are they all mute? Aren't they usually very eloquent? Hey, Taoist Priest Qingyang! Weren't you old before?
Are you bragging to me about how your Quanzhen Dragon Sect is doing? Why are you refusing to come forward at this time?"
Taoist Priest Qingyang sitting next to him was the middle-aged man who helped him hold the teacup steady before. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Secretary-General Liu, this matter is too big. We alone can't afford it."
Daliang? How about you ask the Zhengyi Sect for their opinion?"
The representative of the Zhengyi Sect is the uncle of Zhang Ling, the real person of Dihuo, named Zhang Xiansheng. Although he is over eighty years old, he looks no different from a man in his forties. He has sharp ears and eyes, a strong body, and can walk as fast as flying.
When he heard Taoist Master Qingyang say this, he cursed in his heart and immediately pretended to be old-fashioned, as if his ears were deafened at that moment: "Ah? What did you just say?"
Practitioners from other sects were secretly amused when they saw him pretending to be deaf and mute. Liu Chunping was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas left his body. He became angry and said: "You don't say so, right? That's fine! Then I will make the decision myself."
Got it!"
Representatives from other sects breathed a sigh of relief and complimented one after another: "Secretary-General Liu, your idea must be a good one!"
Liu Chunping slapped the table and said angrily: "Fart, weren't you pretending to be deaf and dumb just now? Why do you know how to speak now? Do we still want to wield democratic centralism in our party? How can you wield democracy like this?
ah?"
A fat middle-aged monk next to him shouted a Buddhist chant: "Amitabha, Secretary-General Liu, the so-called democratic centralism means that no matter how democratic the front is, in the final analysis, centralization is still necessary.
!So, you make up your mind, and then we just do it."
Liu Chunping laughed out of anger: "Master Shi Jinneng, your words are very meaningful! Are you alluding to my dictatorship?"
Shi Jingneng said quickly: "Don't dare!"
Liu Chunping said angrily: "Every one of you brags about yourself and your sect to the heavens on weekdays, but today you all acted like a fool when faced with this situation! I don't know what you think you have in mind.
Isn't it? Aren't you just afraid of taking responsibility? So you threw all the responsibilities on me? Well, I will really take up this responsibility! No media is allowed to participate in this exchange event between the Chinese and Japanese spiritual circles.
! In addition, each of your sects should say hello to their disciples. Please take it easy this time and don’t let anything happen. Otherwise, huh, if it makes a big fuss, you will be ready to wipe your own butts.
Bar!"
When the representatives from various sects heard this, they looked at each other and thought to themselves: Take it easy? Isn't this a weird idea? Isn't this too vague?
After Liu Chunping finished speaking, something suddenly moved in his heart, and he laughed proudly. He thought to himself: Huh, if the boss throws such a hot potato to me, won't I throw it to others?
Thinking of this, he said loudly: "In addition, let the provincial leaders of the local religious circles be responsible for the reception. Anyway, wherever these Japanese go, let the local religious people accompany them and serve them carefully!"
Taoist priest Qingyang on the side said cautiously: "Secretary-General Liu, this... take it easy, what exactly does it mean? What does it mean to take it easy?"
Liu Chunping was furious: "Take it easy, just take it easy, don't you understand this? Humph!" After saying that, he slapped the table, which scared the representatives of various sects to scratch their heads and scratch their heads, frowning.
Not long after, another Taoist asked in a low voice: "Secretary-General Liu, do you want us to fight... No, do you want to put some water in when we compete?"
Liu Chunping glanced at him and smiled: "It's still Qingcheng Mountain's Xujing Taoist Priest Lingto!"
When the practitioners from other sects heard this, they were immediately shocked. Taoist Master Qingyang said: "Secretary-General Liu, there are many talented people in the Japanese practice world. If the two sides compete seriously, whether we can win is not a matter of secondary importance, but if we let go
If..."
Liu Chunping immediately looked at him displeased: "Who said you were allowed to win? Who allowed you to win?"
Practitioners from various sects were immediately stunned, and each one could hardly believe their ears. Shi Jingneng said with a smile: "Secretary-General Liu, do you mean...that we cannot win a single game?"
Liu Chunping snorted: "If you people take action, what if someone is killed? What if you injure or maim a Japanese friend? How do you want me to explain? Do you want to cause conflicts and disputes between the two countries?"
Please, the relationship between the two countries is already so complicated now, can you not cause more chaos to the country?"
Representatives of each faction said in shock and anger: "But, can we only be beaten? What if our people are injured, disabled, or even killed?"
Liu Chunping was furious and thought: You guys have always been accustomed to being lawless. If we go back forty years, we will all be beaten into ghosts and snake gods. It will be your turn to yell here?
But he knew that these words were not allowed to be said, and there would be disaster if he said them. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, showed a smile on his face, and said in a gentle voice: "That's not what I meant.
What I mean is, you can just show off! Don’t fight for real, just act it out! It’s not like this has never been done before? No matter if both sides are injured, it’s not a good thing! You also know that now the country has finally relaxed its rules
You don’t want anything to happen at this time to force the country to tighten its policies, right?"
The representatives of various sects suddenly fell silent. They all knew that it was the "End of Dharma Era" right now. The world of spiritual practice was in dire decline and was unsustainable. Almost every sect was working hard to develop and develop.
There is no one who understands better than them the meaning of "the people should not fight against the officials, and the religious forces should not fight against the imperial forces."
After a while, Taoist Master Qingyang said in a low voice: "Secretary-General Liu, it doesn't seem right if we don't win a match. What if word gets out? How will other people see us?"
Liu Chunping sneered: "Spread it? Who will spread it? Who will report it? Please, with such a strict ban, who can spread this kind of news? Don't worry, no one will know! No one in this world knows
Doesn’t it mean that the matter didn’t happen? Well, let’s leave it like that, who told you not to make up your mind? You all listen carefully, if there is really any discussion in this sorority, you are allowed to lose but not win!”
====================================
Note: China’s management of the spiritual world, that is, the management of the religious world, is the State Administration of Religious Affairs and other institutions, and the subordinate organization is the China Religious Association. In order to avoid suspicion, this article changed it to the Council, so readers do not need to go into details, thank you~~
In addition, if some readers think this chapter is fake, how could there be such an idiotic official? Before trolling people, please pay attention to various relevant insider information of the National Sports Commission. You will find that the lower limit of idiotism is only lower, not the lowest.
As the saying goes, meat eaters are despicable, that’s what it means~
