The atrium of the temple, which was specially cleaned out, was originally used as a forum for the convening of an uncovered conference; after a sharp knife cut through the messy trials and executions, it became a special lecture venue. What could be more useful and effective than speaking out in front of this environment.
"Are these monks earning these from their labor..."
Zhou Huaian, who was standing on the stage, also made a generous speech.
"The Buddhism in the East, just like the imperial world where the imperial court makes people unable to live, has already gone astray and dead..."
"They will only compete to compare and build more luxurious buildings..."
"They will decorate the clay plastic wood tires at any cost."
"They spend a huge amount of money on the dead objects for worship...spending extravagant and mammoth rituals to talk empty talks."
"On the one hand, I feel at ease, enjoy worship and practice with great concentration..."
"On one side, but turning a blind eye to it, the disasters of the world are continuous and hungry everywhere..."
"Let the countless poor believers outside, give up all of their bodies, and the family members are suffering from hunger and cold..."
"Even sells children and sells daughters, but can still say something more and more, the monks do not ask about common things"
"Is this still the right way for the Buddha to teach the Dharma... or is it the way to save sentient beings with compassion and education..."
"Could it be that the clothes on the monks' clothes and the food in their mouths were not originally from the hard work of the world..."
"Isn't this huge wall and giant beam built by the donations of thousands of believers..."
"While talking about it, let the believers live in peace and happiness, endure the suffering and injustice in the world,"
"On one side, he is holding the blood and sweat donated by the believers. It is not tired of eating, not too extravagant, and clothes are not expensive..."
"This is the evil spirit in the last days of the Dharma..."
"So, I am here to make a rule and vow..."
"As long as we ruled by the rebel army, all the monks' ways must be followed..."
"Don't cook for a day, don't eat for a day...
"All monks have to participate in labor... Whether it is growing vegetables or growing rice and wheat..."
"Let your own food and clothing come from your own hands and feet..."
"Back then, the Buddha's disciples who taught the Dharma to Bodh Gaya were nothing more than a bowl of food and a collar..."
"Xi Tianmu is peaceful, happy and kind, and good believers compete to hear about it..."
"Later generations erected statues to lay them, worshipped them, and built houses to shield them from wind and rain... Then there was the beginning of the temple..."
"But it's not for some monks to confuse fools and ordinary people to do their best..."
"Come to specialize in some tall and fearful places, pile up gold and jade to show piety... Exhaust extravagant things to grow awe..."
"Although Jialan is tall and broad, it can't hold people's hearts well, and although it has sculptures, it can't relieve people's hunger and thirst... Is it useful?"
"Therefore, I will demolish the cottage and abandon the Huatang, and use the mounting as a means of helping the poor..."
Finally, following Zhou Huai’an’s declaration, the soldiers returned from the camp with a full load and checked away a large amount of money, food, and property. They also dug three feet of gold and silver for worship, and even the gold-clad treasures on the wooden tyres of clay, plastic, and wood. The silk and silk curtains were not easily let go, leaving only the bare Buddha statues, murals, and sculptures; and publicly burned the various fields and property leases and debts held by the monastery as a shelter for the thieves. Follow-up punishments and costs.
And in the process, the old monk Yixin also had an expression of "abandoning treatment completely", and with a group of monks who were excluded from the mutual accusation, there was no obvious evil or crime, staying in each corner. The group of people chanted in a low voice, with a certain attitude of not arguing, not confronting, and not actively cooperating, and calmly sat and watched all this happened; even the rebels executed the monks who had been accused of notorious deeds. At that time, he would also comfort and comfort those monks who were crying bitterly or in grief or involuntarily, and all kinds of emotionally excited monks.
It also made Zhou Huaian look at him a little bit higher. Obviously, there are some true believers and monks who are not completely deceived and deceived in the local Buddhism; at least they are also quite experienced figures who know the current affairs and know how to advance and retreat. , Let Zhou Huaian’s previous Buddhist black materials that he was going to use to deal with the possibility of arrogantly opening his mouth, such as the jokes of Emperor Liang Wu, who worshipped Buddhism, labored his people and suffered money until he was starved to death in the Stone City, but they didn’t come in handy. Opportunity now. After all, what the Buddhists are best at is the great principles and the art of speaking for the name of the Dharma.
But what is surprising is that after burning the deeds and debts held by these monks, hundreds of tenants and senders who were attached to the monastery said they wanted to join the rebels, even including A handful of local monks. This made Zhou Huaian a little confused; but after seeing the other party, he suddenly realized that these are the novice monks and Tutuo at the bottom of the temple;
Although Buddhism has always claimed that all beings are equal, the temple itself is not equal at all. Instead, it has a rather strict monk class and order; especially, such a grand ancestral temple with high standards and an overview of Lingnan monks. Many monks, monk masters, monk records, and monk commanders who have the titles of the imperial court are responsible for the leadership of the Zen forest, to the monastery supervisor, treasurer, ceremonial seat, and other principals and governor monks, from top to bottom, there are three or sixty-nine people who have different positions. Degree of privileges and resources.
As for the novice monks and Tutuo at the bottom, they are actually not much better than those tenant tenants who work as cattle and horses for the monastery. They are even worse in terms of treatment and conditions. Many of the stories about the black history of Buddhism in later generations should basically be in theirs. Body; So after the Rebels broke the psychological advantages and superficial beauty that those monks had always maintained, naturally some people were thinking hard to change.
. . . . . .
After it was confirmed that the rebels had really withdrawn and were going away, the remaining hundreds of monks in the monastery also loosened unevenly from the various compulsory states of composure, and brought with them the aftermath. Yu Sheng's expression babbled.
"Good, good, this generation of murderers has finally gone..."
"Finally escaped a step..."
"I thought it was another dilemma that caused the sky to spread."
Then, someone cried on the spot, but it was for those familiar monks who were taken away by the rebels or executed on the spot, sorrowful and heartbroken.
"Guangzhi, how much is left in the temple..."
The old monk in the crowd Yixin said slowly.
"I have checked it. Except for the defect of the mountain gate, there is no unnecessary damage and burns in the palace..."
A monk who looks a little honest and honest
"I even cleaned and washed the ground, cleaned up the clutter before leaving..."
"It's just that there is nothing left of all the niches in the temple..."
"Isn't it great to be so clean and innocent?"
The old monk Yixin has a calm face
"What about the robbed Buddha treasures"
Someone trembled unwillingly
"These offerings are just foreign objects made of gold and silver...
Yixin continued to speak wide.
"The true Buddha treasure is still in our hearts, and it is also the heart of the believers towards the Buddha. Ah."
"But what kind of arrogant means of the swordsman's wealth can't be taken away."
"And those deeds and debts..."
"It's all things outside of the body..."
Yixin sighed
"Someone in the Zen forest actually lends money for profit. It's okay to cut off chance and involvement..."
"As for those fields, even if the deed is burned, they can't be taken away. At most it will be hindered afterwards."
"Could it be that the little disciples and believers should leave with the grass thief..."
Some people continued to ask rhetorically.
"Let us explain how to reconcile in the future..."
"So what... It doesn't matter if you go or go... it's all popular..."
Yixin smiled slightly and slapped again.
"If your heart is toward me, then no matter where you are, what are the differences and obstacles?"
"Whoever goes may not be ungodly in his heart, but there is still confusion in his heart."
"But what is left now must be the unsullied perseverance seed in my heart..."
Then he also pointedly looked at Tianguangdao in the distance.
"This calamity of this temple, I know that it is Nirvana in the fire, the turbid mud grows lotus, and the mirror is the new energy of the dust..."
"Choose a few with strong legs, eat and drink enough first, and send it out to spread the letter."
Then he continued to tell
"It is said that there are also strangers among the grass thieves, especially the Buddhist allusions that are very good at Buddhism. It needs more attention and avoidance..."
"It's not good, the teacher..."
Another monk ran back from the direction of the back mountain.
"Did the kitchen stop cooking..."
Yixin asked calmly
"There are still some rice, melons and vegetables in the Zhaitang, and firewood is also present...you can start the fire in a moment."
The monk gasped.
"It's just that the grass thief also copied most of the ancient books and scrolls in the Tibetan scripture building."
"This.."
At this time, Monk Yixin could no longer maintain his composure and composure, so he shouted out immediately.
"Take me to check..."
. . . . . .
"I love to read books, my skin is good.... Wailing"
Zhou Huaian, who had collected a lot of books and was in a happy mood, was also in the carriage lightly humming the modified songs, looking at these thread-bound hand-copied ancient books, quickly scanning his database page by page. In the middle.
This Baolin Temple is worthy of being the ancestral courtyard of Southern Zen Buddhism and the largest temple in Lingnan. The collections of past dynasties can be described as extremely rich; in addition to the various Sanskrit and Chinese scriptures like those from the heavens, it also has a large collection of historical sub-collections to poems. Gefu then includes miscellaneous items such as medical, Taoist and Gongfu, covering all kinds of ancient and modern documents. When he finally left, he was able to pack more than three cars, almost as much as half of the books he had collected before.
With these ancient books accumulated gradually, he wanted to try to establish and implement a set of on-campus education system, and he was more fully prepared. After dealing with this series of time and aftermath work, Zhou Huaian, who turned around, heard another unexpected report.
There was a small accident and riot. It was that Huo Cun, the deputy lieutenant of the messenger who was temporarily left behind, wanted to take the opportunity to escape from the supervision. With the help of his sneaking companion, he killed the guard's soldier. Overturned dozens of soldiers who came to the rebel soldiers, and almost snatched his horse and ran away.
In the end, it was Sha Da and Sha Wujing who were directly under the fire chief, known as the "silly big guys", rushing up, and using brute force to put him on the ground with both men and horses, this was not succeeded.
. . . . . .
At the same time, in Chaoyang City, Wang Pan, who was chewing fried soybeans, also said to the young man in front of him.
"Little belly, it's time to come back to help now..."
"I don't think it's enough. I'm afraid that what I learned in Guantou is not as good as his one hundred one..."
The apprentice named Xiaoduer responded.
"That's all, it's rare that you have such a motivated mind... it's not easy to stop you."
"But from then on, you have nothing to do with me anymore, you have to follow others with all your heart..."
"Once you learn people's skills, you do things that are sorry for them,"
"Even if you call my uncle, you won't take it lightly..."
"Report to the general..."
At this time, suddenly there was a report from outside.
"Cantonese has an urgent letter coming..."
"Summon me to Xunzhou for discussion..."
Then Wang Pan muttered to himself.
"Is it necessary to announce the appointment of new ministries" (end of this chapter)
