Chapter 611 Visit, the battle between Taoism and Buddhism

However, it was also influenced by later generations' concepts, although many people have a big age gap.

But Shu An said that his values ​​are still very positive, so now he wants to ask Wu Shun what he thinks.

For him, Wu Shun's words to stay by his side are undoubtedly a waste of youth.

This is not the first time Shuan is interrogated, but it is destined not to be the last time.

"Master, Mingze will not go anywhere!"

Faced with his master's questioning, Wu Shun shook his head vigorously and said, with a hint of determination in his words.

At the same time, I had some small resentment about the arrival of the princess. If the princess had not mentioned this matter, then the master would not have talked about it.

After hearing Wu Shun's words, Shu An did not continue to speak because he knew his heart.

.........

The peaceful days were very satisfied for Shu'an, and things on the grassland began to progress gradually.

A large amount of money began to be invested in the grassland, and Shu'an didn't care about this matter.

"Master, Taoist Qingze wants to visit you."

However, there was a hint of extraordinaryness in the calmness. On this day, Lai Fu came to the academy, but Shu An did not bring any news.

Even Shu An was slightly surprised at the first time, as if he didn't understand why Qingze came to visit.

The first reaction was naturally that the Taoist priests who helped him study gunpowder. Could it be that Qingze came for them?

It should be impossible after thinking about it, after all, the result has already come out.

It only takes ten years, and in this case, there will be explanations for this emperor and others.

That's what happened recently.

"Lai Fu, do you know the reason?"

Of course, Shu'an asked about Lai Fu. You should know that Qingze is not that simple. Being able to become a representative of Taoism before means that he still has a lot of skills.

However, although Shu An had been in the Taoist sect for a while, he had already withdrawn.

He can only be considered a person from the Taoist sect, so he doesn't care about the Taoist sect's fight for power.

"Master, it is said that this time a monk from Tiantai Sect is coming to preach the Dharma."

Lai Fu immediately spoke out, obviously he had made sufficient preparations before coming, just for the possible inquiries from his master.

"Is it a dispute over Buddhism and Taoism?!"

Shu An's eyes flashed and murmured softly, even in this era, the two major schools of Zen and Taoism still influenced many people.

Of course, the influence of Zen is much greater than that of Taoism, of course it means it is among ordinary people.

Although judging from history will show that in this era, Taoist sect had some inaction, which led to the rapid growth of Zen sect.

But this is true, obviously not the case, or the routes taken by Zen and Taoist sects are different.

Among them, the Zen Sect took the route of the people and began to penetrate the powerful and powerful people. As for the Tao Sect, the route was the upper level.

This choice is not an independent choice, but is determined by the different doctrines of each.

The Zen sect itself is better, but for the Tang Dynasty, if many people become monks, then who will farm and who will join the army.

Speaking of which, this matter has a lot to do with him. Originally, the development of Taoism is still possible, and at least many of the upper-level powerful people who have enveloped Taoism, not Zenism.

However, the last time he revealed the poisonous alchemy for gunpowder.

This led to serious damage to the reputation of the Taoist sect, and many of the court officials were even more afraid of being too late and abandoned the Taoist sect directly.

The Taoist sect, which was originally on the weak side, is now even more suppressed by the Zen sect.

This time, the eminent monks of Tiantai Sect came to preach Buddhism, which made the Taoist sect nervous.

The Taoist sect had not yet recovered its previous influence in Chang'an, but the Zen sect wanted to intervene. How could it be tolerated?

"Let Qingze come to the academy."

After thinking about it, Shu An still spoke out, there is a cause and a result.

No matter whether it is the previous reason or because he came from a Taoist sect, this matter is destined to be impossible to ignore.

Moreover, Shu'an doesn't have much favoritism for Zen, and this is mainly because of the teachings of Zen.

Is it impossible to develop China by eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name?

"Yes, Master!"

Lai Fu said without hesitation, then turned around and left to make arrangements.

Shu An's eyes showed a glimmer of light when he saw Lai Fu leaving. You should know that the entire Tang Dynasty had hidden the shadow of the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism in history.

However, it is more appropriate to limit Zen, because the Taoist doctrine of inaction has led to not many believers.

This matter still needs to be planned carefully. I believe that Li Shimin in the palace should also be worried about this matter.

You should know that after the war between Liaodong and Grassland ended, it means that there is no threat outside the Tang Dynasty.

So when it is time to rectify the internal situation, Li Shimin must have thought so.

Among them, Zen sect is also the object of rectification. Of course, Li Shimin must also know that it is impossible to drive out.

But there will definitely be restrictions, that is, to support Taoism. For this reason, Shu An is not as anxious as he imagined.

Although Shu'an is not in a hurry, there are people like ants on a hot pan.

"Have you met An Xuan Gong!"

Qingze's respectful voice rang out, and after receiving the reply, he rushed over and did not dare to delay at all.

"Take tea!"

"I haven't seen you for a long time, how can you do it?"

Shu An showed a smile on his face and said, "He was considered a person without faith in his later generations, but he would still be closer to Taoism."

This has nothing to do with faith, mainly because he likes the Taoist teachings.

"Thank you for your greetings from An Xuan Gong."

"But Qingze has been unable to sleep at night recently and has been worried about the development of Taoist sect."

......

Qingze did not make many twists and turns, but instead described the recent situation in simple words.

Among them, Shu An had no plans, but listened to Qingze's simple statement. After all, he had been away from Taoist sect for many years.

I don’t know much about Taoism, but I still hear a lot of helplessness from Qingze’s words.

The Taoist sect is not a monolithic part, and not many people agree with the opposition to the Zen sect.

After all, Taoism pays more attention to the word "responsiveness" and they find more places to practice in the deep mountains, old forests, etc.

There are not many places where conflicts with Zen are imagined, but people like Qingze Taoist still have a deep sense of crisis in their hearts.

If one day everyone knows Zen but does not know Taoism, then even if you accept disciples, there may be no one.

It is precisely for this reason that Qingze has been uniting for the Taoist sect and fighting, but unfortunately some things have not achieved that much.
Chapter completed!
