Chapter 37 The Accident of Cultivating the New Regulations
Chapter 37: The unexpected accident of practicing the new rules
What made Sun Ce the most headache now was the more than a thousand nuns brought back from the sect camp. The other monks, whether old or weak, were easy to arrange. As long as they were not the seventies and eighties could not crawl, they would be directly used as village households.
The bald man who doesn't do anything can't be asked, and he must return to secular life. After all, except for the so-called so-called encouragement of people to be good, basically no one is engaged in production. These people will start to think about it when they have free time except chanting scriptures and want to collect land and wealth.
When Buddhism flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, the largest landlords in the local area became temples. Buddhism completely became some people whose selfish desires were extremely expanding, and the most beneficial machine for making money. There was no trace of compassion at all.
And all the hosts in the temples are the smartest snobs in the world. Their eyes will only stare at the pilgrims' tribute and the gorgeousness of their clothes.
The hypocritical hosts chanted the Buddha's name, and the most discussed privately was that they received the amount of incense money donated by the pilgrims this year.
Moreover, if you donate too much money to the Buddha, you are a good man and a woman, even if you redeem the sins you committed. On the contrary, you do not believe in the Buddha enough, which will lead the Bodhisattvas to blame.
If you take something from the temple, you will have to pay it twice as much as possible in your next life.
It completely deviates from the original intention of Buddhism to teach people to cultivate their minds, cultivate their nature and be compassionate!
At this time when Lujiang is developing greatly and people are in urgent need of manpower everywhere, how could Sun Ce raise such a large number of idle people who eat hard food?
As for the existence of Buddhism, as long as the monk who can reliably reliably is a true practitioner, Sun Ce will never object.
After all, according to Buddhist teachings, it is still very beneficial to the cultivation of a person's state of mind. The rule set by Sun Ce for Buddhism is that the Futu Temple in Lujiang can be built, but no Futu Temple must occupy more than one acre of land.
The identity of monks is included in another volume in the prefect's mansion, and monks who are not included in the volume are not recognized in all parts of Lujiang.
Faith emphasizes sincerity and firmness. If everything can be bought with money, the richest emperors in the world will not be able to easily get everything they want.
With Qin Shihuang's great talent and strategy, he doesn't have to end up being as smelly as abalone.
In Sun Ce's eyes, true practitioners should insist on cultivating their will, rather than be defeated by all kinds of greed. Too much money and material belief in the Buddha will only defile the purity of the Buddha itself.
Just like people, people pay attention to courtesy and friendship. Even those who practice have already fallen into the eyes of money, it is difficult to believe that such practice will be beneficial to people's spiritual realm.
It is also stipulated that monks in temples are not allowed to accept large donations, and all violators will be sealed and the temple name will be cancelled. The monks who collect money will be sent to the military farm area for labor service depending on the severity of the circumstances.
After chanting the scriptures every day, monks must work in the fields every day. One is to cultivate themselves and the other is to provide their own food. The prefect's residence provides the lack of food and basic daily necessities. Only in this way can Buddhism return to true practice.
People! Only by controlling their own etiquette can one improve one's sentiment in poverty.
It would be strange if you only want to seek donations from others all day long, what benefits can such a monk do to Buddhism.
Zuo Ci, who was born in Taoism, is the biggest supporter of these rules against Buddhism.
At least Sun Ce has not made any rigid regulations on his Taoist sect yet. This is a kind of exchange between the two. After all, Taoist priests are the first priority to cultivate their minds, and they are not as easy to deteriorate as monks.
Most of the monks and nuns who escaped from the river with Zuo Rong were powerful young and strong. The young idle people who did not do things and only ate free rice could not be raised in Lujiang.
Finally, after hard thinking, Sun Ce gave a tough order, and the nun treated the same as a monk. He had to be self-reliant. Since he had chosen to practice, he would practice seriously and steadily according to the Buddhist rules and precepts.
Otherwise, if you do things like those who are careful in calculating merchants all day long, your six senses are not pure, and you will be the same as those of secular people. Why do you still practice Buddhism?
Of course, if the nuns choose to return to secular life, whether they get married or go home, the Jiangdong Army is more supportive. They can also give the opportunity to enter the medical camp to become nurses.
As soon as these conditions came out, most nuns chose to return to secular life after a little inquiry.
As a nun, he just couldn't survive, just to make a living. Now that he has the opportunity to enter the famous medical camp, that is the real gain of fame and fortune. Every military and civilian, including generals, will give full respect to the people in the medical camp.
Moreover, it is a job, a profession that can support one's own glory. It is much more respectful than the parasites that receive food from all day long.
Just when the Jiangdong Army captured the Surong Camp, the chaos in the city had reached its peak.
In the prefect's mansion, Zuo Rong was still seriously punishing the Han Buddhist sect, the first traitor. He was not worried about anyone opposing his opinion. He had made complete arrangements, and a total of five thousand elite monk soldiers sneaked into the city openly or secretly.
After killing Satori, he was preparing to acquire more than 20,000 troops in the city in one fell swoop and sit as the prefect. As for Fan Nengyu Mi, who had not attended the banquet, it was exactly what he wanted. It would be better if the two of them did not come, which would make it easier for him to act.
As for the 1,000 soldiers of Fan Nengyu and Mi, he didn't take them seriously at all. With 20,000 troops in hand, are you still afraid that they can turn to heaven? If you dare to be dissatisfied, just send them to the gift of accompaniment.
If no one makes trouble, Zuo Rong's plan will undoubtedly have a 90% chance of success. The army without the command of the prefect will most likely obey his orders when they see the prefect's seal. However, things will always be unexpected.
When Suli, the human stick, finally fell silently, Su Rong held the seal of the prefect who had just taken off Suli's body in one hand and looked at it carefully.
Looking at the blood beads that were still dripping on the official seal, Zu Rong suddenly burst into laughter, with an incomparable pride in his laughter. Just as he was laughing more and more happily, a bald junior brother who was on duty ran in from outside the door.
Seeing Zu Rong from afar, he shouted in panic: "Big, big, big guardian! Oh no, the military camp in the city seems a little unstable! A large number of soldiers wanted to leave the camp for some reason! My junior brother has already brought people up to intercept it!"
The smile that was at its highest point in laughter came to an abrupt end. The gentle smile on my face that seemed to be able to keep forever disappeared for the first time.
The eyes that became gloomy were glaring fiercely at the junior brother who came to report the news.
After a while of silence, he slowed down and said, "What a panic! Remember to call me the prefect and the great guardian!"
