Build temples and grant tax exemptions to temples.

It also allows herders to be exempted from military service and taxes after becoming monks.

However, the emperor also required that monks must be pious in worshiping Buddha, and all monks must not marry or have children...

The emperor had strict management of Buddhism, Taoism and foreign religions in the Central Plains, but now he is so tolerant of the Mongolians' belief in the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism. The Mongolian princes are very satisfied. It has been a long time since the Mongols converted from shamans to Tibetan Buddhism.

The dispute between the Yellow Sect and the Mongolian princes also caused a fierce fight. Lin Dan Khan once forcefully asked the Mongols to convert to the Red Sect and abandon the Yellow Sect. As a result, they lost their hearts.

The princes thought that the emperor was lenient and appeasing to Mongolia, but they didn't know that Zhu Yihai wished that they all believed in the Yellow Sect, wished that every family would send a son to become a lama, and wished that these Mongolian princes often went to Tibet to make tea. On the Mongolian grasslands

Without a strong person to control the temple, it will inevitably be the same as in history.

It affects the national taxation. Many young men become monks, which reduces the country's labor force. The temples occupy a large amount of land and do not pay land taxes. The industries operated by the temples do not pay taxes. Many ordinary businessmen even name their properties to the temples to avoid taxes, which seriously affects the country.

Historically, the Manchus also intentionally encouraged and supported Mongolians to believe in Lamaism. In order to show their piety, these Mongolian nobles donated their land, livestock, gold and silver properties and subjects to the temples, and also exempted lamas from military service and taxes.

and other servants.

Temples occupied more and more land, livestock and subjects, forming temple territories. In the Qing Dynasty, there were once thousands of temples and hundreds of thousands of lamas.

Mongolian herdsmen live frugally and sacrifice most of their hard-earned income to temples, hoping to be protected by the gods, overcome the sea of ​​suffering, ascend to heaven after death, and find happiness in the next life.

Birth, old age, illness, death, weddings, festivals, etc. must be transcended by lamas chanting sutras, fortune telling, and liberation.

Even if the family has multiple children, one of their sons will be sent to a monastery to become a lama.

The fierce Mongols who once conquered the world and whose empire spanned Asia, Africa and Europe, since they believed in Buddhism, it can be said that they have completely transformed from lions into sheep. They really became Buddhas on the spot, and it is difficult to be strong again.

The Mongolians wanted to believe in Buddhism, build monasteries, and become monks. Zhu Yihai supported them with both hands. He even said that he would build a large lamasery in Duolun and then go to Tibet to invite a reincarnated living Buddha.

In the future, Duolun will not only be a place of alliance, but will also become an important prairie border market and a center of trade. There will also be a large lamasery here, and even a lama Buddhist academy supported by the emperor. In short, for Mongolians who believe in yellow religion

The emperor fully supports this matter.

Whether you go to Tibet to make tea, send aristocratic children to worship Buddha, or invite living Buddhas or great lamas to come, build Buddhist temples, donate land, livestock, people, money, or send children to become monks, we all support you.

Never interfere.
