Cheng Nian's coming to the stage made Master Yuanzheng, who had just been deflated, look forward to it and be a little disgusted.

What I was looking forward to was that I hoped that Cheng Nian would be able to fight for Buddhism, but what I was disgusted with was that Cheng Nian had practiced the Southern Transmission of Buddhism.

Since ancient times, the three major schools of Buddhism, Han, Tibet, and Southern Buddhism have not been at odds with each other, and the perennial friction and conflict have made Yuanzheng, who regards Han as orthodox, quite disgusted with the monks of the other two schools.

"Since ancient times, Buddhism has had an inescapable and close connection with society, and there are many monks in Buddhism who actively pay attention to current affairs from theory to practice. Fundamentally speaking, it is impossible for Buddhism to be born, and its value ideals may be born, but most of the monks who practice practice still have to live in the real society. With the development of the times, it is more and more difficult to hide in the mountains and forests, and it is an indisputable fact that modernization has turned the monks living alone into a part of the social group. Cheng Nian does not quote the scriptures and Buddhist words, but analyzes them from the perspective of modern people in a different way.

"Buddhism advocates the transformation of the world and the customs, which is its function and tradition of serving the society and the people, and when Buddhism is prosperous, it is the time when it is closely connected with the social group. Therefore, adapting to the society and serving the society is the premise for the development of Buddhism, and people in Buddhism cannot but pay attention to their "food and clothing". In the countryside, in the old days, monks once undertook the basic education of society, and in ordinary times became the moral and ethical guides of the people and the regulators of social relations. Since the beginning of modern society, Buddhism still plays the role of assisting grassroots administration, and Buddhist monks are still important organizers of cultural life. Cheng Nian said generously.

Many people criticize Buddhism for stretching out his hand too long, obviously as a monk but salty and eating radishes and worrying about it, in the name of Pudu sentient beings, in fact, he is greedy for gold and silver, and Buddhism's consistent practice is to use quite empty and vague words to perfunctory the past.

However, Cheng Nian did not shy away from talking about sensitive topics, and analyzed them bluntly and crisply, and stated the reasons and directions for them.

It may sound a little mundane and utilitarian, but I have to say that maybe the words of Cheng Nian are even more convincing!

Some of the young monks nodded thoughtfully, while a few old-fashioned old monks closed their eyes slightly, as if they were deaf to Cheng Nian's remarks.

"In all eras, the social activities of Buddhism, whether at the economic level or at the level of social and people's livelihood, there is an eternal responsibility and obligation: if Buddhism wants to survive and develop, it must adapt to the needs of the current society, and Buddhism provides services and education for the society, which is not only beneficial to the people, but also to Buddhism itself. In order to adapt to society, it is necessary to carry out changes according to the conditions of the time and place, so the reform of Buddhism itself should also keep pace with the times. Cheng Nian continued.

Ming Ye, who listened carefully, couldn't help but widen his eyes, and he leaned into Xuanwei's ear in surprise and asked, "Master, you said before that Hinayana Buddhism, that is, the Southern Transmission lineage, is the oldest and most conservative, but Master Chengnian has put forward an innovative proposition, isn't this contrary to the Buddhist teachings of the Southern Transmission Buddhism?"

"Reform is an important factor in the longevity and longevity of a denomination from ancient times to the present. The key to balancing the two lies in the strength and direction of innovation. In addition, innovation does not mean that it is worn out, and that tradition is completely abandoned, and the two are not in conflict. Xuanwei explained.

Mingye pondered for a moment, and muttered to himself: "If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be able to take the essence and remove the dross?

The corners of Xuanwei's mouth raised, and it seemed that Ming Ye had comprehended a lot of things from it.

Cheng Nian's view is very peculiar, and it is even very different from traditional Buddhism in the eyes of many people.

He advocated change and innovation, advocated learning from each other's strengths, advocated a balance between birth and accession to the WTO, and advocated cultivating oneself first and then crossing others.

And the most impressive thing is Cheng Nian's views and insights on utilitarianism.

Everyone in the world thinks that Buddhism has no desires and no desires, but Cheng Nian thinks that Buddhism is the most diligent, and it is diligent.

"Buddhism does not seek fame, profit, or merit, but seeks a hundred years of merit, a thousand years of benefit, and ten thousand years of merit!"

Does it sound utilitarian? Utilitarianism is blatant and even arrogant!

But after tasting it carefully, I found that its style has been detached from vulgarity, but is noble, not like those bewitching sluts!

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience.

Such a bold remark is simply a subversive collision of ideas!

"Although it is different from the position of Poor Dao, it is also a bit similar!" Xuan Wei was also quite emotional after listening to it, and he suddenly felt that Cheng Nian was actually very close to his thoughts on some concepts.

First of all, both of them have a larger pattern, standing taller than others, and seeing farther than others, so the goals they pursue are also more ambitious.

Secondly, they do not have the prejudice of stubbornness and antiquity, as long as it is useful, they will learn and absorb it, but their roots and roots have never wavered.

In the end, both of them, who are also young, advocate "change" and are committed to drastic innovation.

……

After Cheng Nian finished his discussion, several Buddhist bigwigs took turns to comment, Rao is that they have seen strong winds and waves, and at this moment they still have a feeling of receiving a hot potato.

There is no way, Cheng Nian's point of view is too controversial, and it is difficult to evaluate it, once the state is clearly expressed, Buddhism will inevitably usher in a change, and the impact will be too serious.

Yes, a few bigwigs said a few words like mud, and they were completely wrong with people, and they had no nutritional value.

When Master Yuanzheng finished commenting and signaled that Cheng Nian could step down, Cheng Nian actually picked up the microphone again and said: "If you can, the poor monk hopes that the Xuanwei Taoist of Heaven and Earth can properly comment and advise!"

Smack!

A few Buddhist bigwigs who just made the evaluation felt that their cheeks were red with pain, did you say that you think that an outsider from the Taoist sect is more qualified to comment than us old-timers? Or are you dissatisfied with our evaluation?

Xuanwei really sat and lay down, listening to the discussion in a good manner, but he didn't expect to be named by Cheng Nian on the stage.

The problem is such a sensitive timing and topic, Xuanwei said that it is very tricky!

If he didn't know that Cheng Nian had no malicious intent, Xuan Wei would definitely think that this was a well-prepared trap, in order to make Xuan Wei offend people and embarrassed!

"Master, microphone!" Mingye stuffed the passed microphone into Xuanwei's hand.

Xuan Wei stood up silently, then raised the microphone and said: "Commenting on the advice, Poor Dao is really ashamed! But since Master Chengnian has asked for this, Poor Dao will roughly say his personal opinion." ”

After a pause for a few seconds, Xuan Wei said bluntly without detaching himself from the water: "Poor Dao thinks that Master Chengnian's argument is very real!"

(PS: It will be May from tomorrow, and Ye Zi only wants to say four words: I!all!all!want!)
