Chapter 139 Zen Forest(1/2)
The temple atrium that was specially cleaned was originally used as a judgment platform for convening unblocked conferences; after a quick knife to cut the mess, it became a special lecture venue. What else is more useful and effective than showing up on the spot in front of this environment?
"Did these be earned by these monks?..."
Zhou Huaian, who was standing on the stage, also made a generous speech.
"This Buddhist sect in Dongtu is like this world where the imperial court cannot live. It has already gone astray and dead."
“They will only compete to compete and create more luxurious buildings.”
"They will spare no expense on the clay-shaped wooden tires."
"They spent a huge amount of money on the dead, and spent a lot of extravagant rituals to talk about it."
"While having a peaceful mind, enjoying offerings and practicing with great care..."
"On the other hand, I don't even notice it, the disasters in the world are endless and starving."
"Let countless poor believers outside give up their whole body, and their families are struggling with hunger and cold."
"Even selling children and daughters, can you still say anything, monks don't care about common things."
"Is this the right way to pass on the Dharma of Buddha? Is it the way to salvation to mercy and educate sentient beings?"
"Didn't the clothes and food in the mouth of monks come from the hard-working crops in the world at first?"
"Isn't this high wall and huge beam created by the donation of the believers? "
"While speaking the truth makes believers calm down and happy to endure the suffering and injustice in the world,"
"On the other hand, he took the blood and sweat donated by believers, never tired of eating, no extravagant living, no expensive clothes."
"This is the evil heretics in the end of the world of Buddhism..."
"So, I set a rule and vow here..."
"All monks and Taoists under the rule of our rebel army must follow..."
"Don't do it for a day, don't eat for a day...
"All monks have to participate in the work... whether they are growing vegetables or rice and wheat..."
"Let your food and clothing come from your own hands and feet..."
"At that time, the Buddha's disciples passed on the Dharma were only one bowl of food and one collar of clothes at Bodhi Gaya."
"The heaven and earth are admired and the good way is peaceful and happy, and believers are competing to hear it..."
"The descendants set up statues to lay them down, worship them, and built houses to block the wind and rain... Then there was the beginning of the temple."
"But it is not to allow some monks to deceive fools and ordinary people into spending their money... and they are gathering all their money in the drums and trumpets."
"Come and practice some of the tall and fearful places, pile up gold and jade to show devotion. Exhausted extravagance to grow awe..."
"Although there is Jialan, it cannot be good at maintaining people's hearts, and although it is crafted by statues, it cannot relieve people's hunger and thirst... is it of use?"
"So, I will demolish the house and abandon the Chinese hall, and take the installation as a resource to help the poor..."
Finally, with Zhou Huaian's declaration, the soldiers of the rear camp were able to return with a full load and seized a large amount of money, grain and goods from here. They also dug up all kinds of gold and silver magic tools for worship. Even the gold-inlaid treasures and silk curtains on the clay and wooden timber were not easily let go, leaving only bare Buddha statues, murals and sculptures. They also burned all kinds of land, property deeds and debt books held by the temple in public, as a follow-up punishment and price for hiding the thieves.
During this process, the old monk Yixin also had an expression of "absorbing treatment completely". He led a group of monks who were excluded from their actions and had no obvious bad deeds or crimes in the corner. He chanted scriptures in a quiet and calm manner with an attitude of not arguing, not confrontation, and not proactive cooperation. Even when the rebels executed those monks who were reported with great evil deeds, they would comfort and comfort the monks who were either crying, grief or involuntarily, and were excited.
Zhou Huaian was a little bit more respectful to him. Obviously, there were some true believers and monks in the local Buddhist sects who were not entirely stealing names and deceived the world. At least they were quite experienced figures who knew the times and knew advancement and retreat. The previous Buddhist black materials that Zhou Huaian had been preparing to deal with him who might have talked about the Buddhist sects, such as the jokes that Emperor Wu of Liang, who worshipped Buddhism, was exhausted and was starved to death in Stone City, were not used in this way. After all, what people in Buddhism are best at distinguishing the principles of the Dharma and the skills of talking about the Dharma.
But what was surprising was that after burning down the body deeds and debt bills held by these monks, there were hundreds of tenants attached to the temple's name. The consignors expressed their intention to join the rebel army, including a small group of local monks. This made Zhou Huaian a little confused; but after seeing the other party, he suddenly realized that these were all the novice monks and the tou Tuo at the bottom of the temple;
Although Buddhism has always claimed that all beings are equal, the temple itself is not equal at all, but has a very strict monk class and order; especially the ancestral temples of Lingnan monks with high standards and high standards, which have many monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, monks, etc. who have the titles of the court, have different degrees of privilege and resources.
As for the lowest level of novice monks and toutuo, they are actually not much better than those tenants who make cattle and horses for temples, and they are even worse in terms of treatment and situation. Many jokes about the dark history of Buddhism in later generations should basically be on them. Therefore, after the rebel army broke the psychological advantages and superficial scenery that the monks had always maintained, people naturally thought about change.
......
After confirming that the rebel army had truly retreated and was leaving, the hundreds of monks left in the temple also relaxed from various forced calm states, and said with a lingering expression of the disaster.
"Good, good, this kind of murderer finally left..."
"I finally escaped the first level..."
"I thought it was another dilemma to splash the sky."
Then, someone started crying on the spot, but was sad and sad for the familiar monks who were taken away by the rebels or executed on the spot.
"Guangzhi, how much can the upper and lower temples save..."
The old monk Yixin in the crowd spoke slowly.
"I have already checked it. Apart from the defects of the mountain gate, there is no unnecessary damage or burning of the palace..."
A monk who looks a little honest and honest
"I even cleaned and rinsed the ground and packed up the mess before leaving."
"It's just that all the Buddhist niches are empty."
"Isn't it great to be so clean and innocent?"
The old monk Yixin has a calm Tao
"What should I do if those stolen Buddha treasures"
Someone said in a trembling voice unwillingly
"These offerings are just external things made of gold and silver... and come and go."
Yixin continued to speak loudly.
"The true Buddha treasure is still in your hearts and my heart, and it is also the innocent heart of believers toward Buddha."
"But it is a means of force and robbing money and goods, and it cannot be taken away."
"And those documents and debt bills..."
"It's all outside of your body..."
Yixin sighed
"There are actually people in the Zen Forest who lend money to make profits, so it's better to cut off opportunities and involvement..."
"As for the land, even if the deeds are burned, they cannot be taken away. At most, there will be some hinderment afterwards."
"Are you just let those little disciples and trustees leave with the thief?"
Someone continued to ask back.
"It's good to let us explain how to explain the future..."
"So what... whether you leave or go... it's all about people's hearts."
Yoshinori smiled slightly and called out again.
"If your heart is on my Buddha, then no matter where you are, what is the difference or obstacle?"
"What you go may not be because you are ungodly in your heart, but you are still confused."
"But what is left now must be the seeds of perseverance in my heart..."
Then he also looked at the skylight in the distance with some point.
"What is wrong with this disaster in this temple? Nirvana in the fire, lotus produced by turbid mud, and the new energy of the whisk on the mirror platform... "
"Pick a few people with strength out, and give them enough food and drink first, and send them out to send them to send a message."
Then he continued to command
"Just say that there are also strange people among the thieves, especially those who are good at Buddhist principles and have a lot of Buddhist allusions. We need to pay more attention and avoid it."
"Not good, the teacher..."
Another monk ran back from the back mountain.
"Is it because the kitchen stopped cooking?"
Yixin asked calmly
"There are still some rice, grain, melons and vegetables in the vegetarian hall, and firewood is also there... and it will be fired in a moment."
The monk gasped.
"It's just that the thief also confiscated most of the ancient books and books in the Sutra Library."
"this.."
Now Monk Yixin could no longer remain calm and calm, so he immediately shouted.
"Take me to check it out quickly."
......
"I love reading and my skin is good...ah"
Zhou Huaian, who was in a little happy mood, also hummed the magical songs in the carriage, looked at these hand-written ancient books and books, and quickly scanned them through pages of their own database.
This Baolin Temple is worthy of being the ancestral courtyard of the Southern Zen Buddhism and the largest temple in Lingnan. Its collections in history are extremely rich. In addition to the various Sanskrit and Han scriptures like heavenly books, it also contains a large collection of ancient and modern documents including classics, history, poetry, songs, and medical arts, and divination. When he finally left, he had more than three carts, which was almost as high as most of the books he collected before.
With these gradually accumulated ancient books, he wanted to try to establish and implement a set of education system on the go-to education system, so he was even more prepared. After dealing with this series of time and aftermath, Zhou Huaian, who came back, heard an unexpected report.
