Chapter 241: Buddha?
As early as when Buddhism and Taoism were fighting for life and death in Chang'an, Xuan Shijing said that neither of the two was allowed to come to Zhuangzi in Zhuangzi in Dongshan County to make trouble, whether it was a festival or a dojo, Zhuangzi was not welcome!
Now the people of Fahua Temple ignored Xuan Shijing's words and didn't say anything, and they came to Zhuangzi with such an arrogant attitude, and even brought so many warrior monks over, what did they want to do? Missionary with a warrior monk?
Xuan Shijing thinks that this is Fahua Temple because of the relationship with Xuanzang, and he feels that he has floated, and he is quite high and far away.
What is Buddha? Buddha is the good thought in people's hearts, not a slogan on the lips all the time, in the name of Buddha with merit incense to look for the people.
Xuanzang is also a member of the Buddhist family, but he can go to Tianzhu for the Buddha in his heart, and bring back so many scriptures for the Tang Dynasty.
As for the blessing that the monk said, in front of the Buddha statue in the temple, isn't the ancient Buddha of the green lantern knocking on the wooden fish and chanting the scriptures? Spending so much manpower and material resources to build a platform outside, isn't it just a gesture for the people to see? In the end, it is not the people's money that is spent, and the people's money is used to fool the people into sending money.
While shouting that my Buddha is compassionate, I don't kill, I don't eat meat, I use vegetarian fasting, and the warrior monks don't eat meat and follow the monks in the temple to eat vegetarian and still be able to hold a stick? Can you still practice martial arts to get such a strong body?
In Chang'an City, most of the monks are just pseudo-Buddhas.
Xuan Shijing is not rejecting Buddhism, but just rejecting these monks in these temples in Chang'an City who act in the name of Buddhism.
The government soldiers stepped forward, took all the sticks in the hands of the warrior monks, and walked towards the county government of Dongshan County with these warrior monks.
Xuan Shijing personally came forward in this matter, and it was the government soldiers who sent people to the county office, these fifty boards, these warrior monks were decided, and even the county monarch couldn't save them.
"Don't be stunned, these things have all been dismantled, pack up and get ready to work." Xuan Shijing said.
"Yes." The craftsmen of the Faculty of Engineering responded one after another.
Maybe some of these people believed in Buddhism before, but after today's incident, the little pitiful belief in my heart is estimated to have almost been wiped out.
How did this come about? It is at the moment of crisis that I go to find a psychological comfort for myself, and at that time, most people will think of the Buddha in the temple, and in normal times, there is nothing to ask for, there is no guilt in the heart, there is nothing to do wrong, how many will think of the cold Buddha statue?
But Xuan Shijing's tough way to drive away the people of Fahua Temple in Zhuangzi still caused a lot of sensation in Zhuangzi.
"Did you hear that? Today, the master of Fahua Temple in Chang'an City came to Zhuangzi and wanted to hold a Dharma meeting to pray for the people on Zhuangzi, but was driven away by Hou Ye? I heard that even the government soldiers on Zhuangzi have passed over and arrested a lot of people. ”
"Really? Why is Hou Ye confused about this, this blessing ceremony, how good, Fahua Temple is quite famous in Chang'an City, please don't go to those small places, why do we Hou Ye still push people out. ”
"That is to say, I heard that it was because the master of Fahua Temple occupied the land where the Hou Ye wanted to build a house when he built the dojo, so he was driven away."
"What are you talking about here?! It's okay to be idle when you're full, right? As soon as Zhuangzi Li Zheng went out, he heard a lot of people standing under the wall of his house, all discussing the matter of Xuan Shijing driving away the monks of Fahua Temple.
"Uncle Wei, have you heard? Hou Ye drove away the monks of Fahua Temple. Seeing Li Zheng come out, the people who had just gathered to discuss it were silent for a while, and they all looked at Uncle Li Zheng Wei.
"Such a big thing, I naturally say it." Uncle Wei said: "It's just that this Dongshan County is Hou Ye's Dongshan County, what Hou Ye does, it's not our turn to arrange, so don't mention this matter again." ”
"Uncle Wei, this ...... Hou Ye's behavior like this, but he offended the master of Fahua Temple, if it is ...... in the future"
"What's in case?!" Li Zheng scolded: "A few monks have been fascinated by you, and you can't see your identity clearly, right?" They shout all day long that all beings are equal, you go out and take a look? Where is the equality? I'm not a generation older than you, and I don't have to salute when I see the old men of the government? If you have this tongue-chewing idle time, go home and take care of your mother-in-law and children, and don't cause trouble for yourself. ”
Everyone saw that Uncle Wei was really angry, and they were silent.
"Hurry up, now the Hou Ye is recruiting workers in Zhuangzi, and if you make a lot of efforts, your family can have a good year." Before entering the door, Uncle Wei said this to everyone.
"Forget it, let's go."
was reprimanded by Uncle Wei like this, and everyone didn't make any more arrangements for Xuan Shijing to drive away the monks of Fahua Temple.
As soon as Xuan Shijing returned to the house, he said that the Wang family was waiting for him in the courtyard.
Xuan Shijing hurriedly came to the Wang family's courtyard.
"Mother, listen to the next person, are you looking for a son?" Xuan Shijing came to Wang.
Wang nodded: "Well, I heard that you took the soldiers on Zhuangzi and drove away all the monks of Fahua Temple?" A lot of people were also arrested and sent to the county office? ”
"This matter is spreading really fast, and in just a while, it has reached your ears." Xuan Shijing smiled helplessly.
"Jing'er is reckless, although Jing'er doesn't like Chang'an Buddhism, but acting so radically, I'm afraid it will damage Jing'er's reputation." Wang said: "And let the government soldiers arrest people, if this matter spreads, I am afraid that the people of Chang'an Yushitai will not let go of this handle, and tomorrow morning, Jing'er will definitely be openly impeached." ”
"Mother, you don't know if you're not there, those monks from Fahua Temple said that they came to hold a Dharma meeting, but what did they do when they brought a group of warrior monks over to hold a Dharma meeting? These warrior monks are all armed with sticks, when the son took people to go, let people dismantle the platform, those warrior monks dare to point at those craftsmen with sticks, if the soldiers on the Zhuangzi did not go at that time, what happened, even the son knows, start to move, the loss is the son brought over the craftsmen, maybe, the son will be involved. ”
"Brought a warrior monk? How ...... it would be," Wang muttered: "It seems that the return of Master Xuanzang has indeed made the Buddhists in Chang'an City think very highly of themselves. ”
"That's what I'm talking about, my son clearly let it go, Dongshan County doesn't welcome these things, but now, they still come, why? Was it just a blessing puja? Anyway, the son didn't believe it. Xuan Shijing said.
