Chapter 319: Faith and Religion

The Chinese people should not need to be told what to do, but to learn to know why they do it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And most of the existing religions are telling humans what you should do or you will be punished by God.

If God exists only for punishment, then what is the use of Him?

Therefore, most of the religions that are mixed with this view cannot be beliefs, but can only be some kind of divine stick institutions.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the closest place to the sky, and at the same time, it is also one of the harshest geographical environments, and the people who live in this land have to bear a lot more than people in other places.

Therefore, the primitive Bon religion derived from this land at the beginning has become people's beliefs, because the mountains, rivers, grass and trees, the sun, moon and stars are gods, watching and caring for them, letting them know that they are not an abandoned race, and giving them the desire to survive and continue.

And when the dynastic era came, the killing atmosphere brought by war made this desire for survival become diversified, war is a man-made disaster, man-made disasters can not be controlled by God, but people blame God, no longer believe in the natural mountains, rivers and plants.

During those years of lost faith, murder and bloodshed, the people of the snowy lands became lost and helpless, until another faith came, Buddhism from northern India.

The birthplace of Buddhism is no longer India, but on this plateau, because Shakyamuni's master was the Buddha of Yongzhong Bon.

And Yongzhong Bon is the product of the original Bon religion that baptized Zhangxiong with war.

Shakyamuni learned the Dharma from the Buddha Xinrao Miwo, and part of it was mixed with war.

Shakyamuni, on the other hand, filtered this part of the war when he became a Buddha, but he did not eliminate it, and then gradually his students understood and misinterpreted it.

When this part of the faith was brought back to the snowy region from the north, this part of the evil came.

It has been shrouded in snow for thousands of years, and it cannot be all day.

There is a paragraph in the movie "The Story of Deer and Ding", Chen Jinnan said to Wei Xiaobao.

"Xiaobao, you must know that most of the current servants have already become officials in the Qing court, so if we want to confront the Qing court, we can only use some stupid people, for those infections, we must not tell them the truth, we can only use the form of religion to hypnotize them, so that he feels that what he is doing is right, so the anti-Qing restoration is just a slogan, and it is actually the same as Amitabha Buddha. ”

The feudal system ended in China and was unified with Qin Shi Huang, but the people of the snowy region did not usher in Qin Shi Huang, and waited for almost 2,000 years to usher in the Red Army.

And for more than 2,000 years, the snowy region has been under slavery.

Most people have only had a glimpse of the slavery system from junior high school history textbooks, and they have no deep understanding, so they do not know how this system is different from the modern human rights social system.

The most straightforward explanation.

Slaves, not people.

Although he looks exactly like a human, as long as he is a slave, he is not a human being, a utre, a livestock, or a commodity, all of which are just words from the slave owner.

A slave has no right to speak, no right to procreate, no right to reputation, no right to any right, even though he looks like a 'human' and has no difference.

This is slavery.

The special geographical environment of the snowy region has created the dependence of the people of the snowy region on faith, and the war has disrupted the pure faith, but it has not disrupted this dependence, but only ushered in the wicked.

Because of the harshness of the land and the power of the surrounding countries, the rulers of the snowy region could only maintain the country in a way of currying favor and relying on foreign powers.

Because the value of this snowy region is not high, and foreign regimes are not willing to invest more energy, without foreign advanced culture and resources, the snowy region naturally cannot develop and progress, so the feudal system has lasted for nearly two thousand years, until the founding of the Dragon Kingdom and the Red Army saved this snowy region, which officially ended the slave society.

It's hard to imagine that half a century ago, there were slaves in this snowy region.

The black slaves of the Western American imperialists were emancipated in 1863.

After Songtsen Gampo conquered the same snowy region, he established a powerful Tibetan dynasty, and in order to promote development, he emulated the slave feudal system of the Central Plains in the past to achieve the goal of centralizing power.

There is a fundamental difference between the feudal system and the feudal system, that is, the premise of the feudal system is blood, and the territory is only divided into blood relatives and friends, which consolidates the aristocratic class.

And the canonization of the feudal system sometimes depends on merit.

Because of the terrain, the snow region is difficult to develop, the first need is productivity, and population is equal to productivity, slavery made slaves become working machines, with life in exchange for food and wealth, for slave owners to enjoy.

In serfdom, it is the most normal thing to punish slaves with criminal law, the death penalty is not necessarily the highest criminal law, there is a criminal law for slaves, similar to the ancient chariot split, and there is a curse not to be reincarnated.

Some of the names of criminal laws, the punishment of amputation, the punishment of gouging out of the eyes, the punishment of flogging.

These criminal laws, which seem to be inhumane in modern times, existed in this snowy region half a century ago.

It is impossible to say how many resentful spirits and blood are buried in this beautiful snowy region.

But the view of history can not be viewed with modern values, converted to the ancient background, slavery for the ruling class, is indeed the best way to develop the country, because only labor can enhance the national strength, and the minimum input in exchange for the maximum benefit is their highest pursuit.

This is similar to the current capital market.

Combined with the level of human civilization at that time, slaves were indeed not human beings compared to nobles, but compared to beggars, they seemed to be better.

Although the distress of modern people is also a distress, the distress of not being able to eat may not be able to be understood by most people, and this distress may really be worth thinking about.

In the face of not being able to eat, is your distress really distressed?

Standing and talking will never hurt your back, and criticism only needs to move your mouth, not even your brain.

From a practical point of view, the law that human beings exchange labor for food has not been broken until now, so the destruction of slavery can only be said to be the backwardness of human civilization and science and technology.

But moral backwardness is a sin.

In such a slave society, the evil of slave owners is even more worthy of spurning, and there are some psychologically deformed slave owners who torture and kill slaves for fun, and use corpses to make various ritual weapons and human skin thangkas.

But these slave owners were not religious believers, they were only religious collaborators or oppressors, and their religion that originally drove the people of the snowy region to do good became a whip in their hands.

Not only physically enslaved, but also spiritually.

Destroying humanity, while grieving and indignant, you can also feel that these evil slave owners, they have no faith, because they have no fear, they can use anything to achieve their ulterior purposes.

This is barbarism.

If the strong do not exist to protect the weak, then the existence of the strong is meaningless.

This kind of barbaric slavery is evil after all, whether it is now or in the past.

The religion they control cannot be called a religion, but can only be said to be extremism like the fascists and Nazis, and has nothing to do with any religion.

Religion is to persuade people to do good, and if it fails to do this, then it has nothing to do with religion, and its followers will not be religious believers, but only some kind of tool.

The people of the Snowy Lands are willing to donate their life savings to the monastery, not because of the servility of the continuation of slavery, but out of gratitude for the faith that the Snowy Land gave them to nurture the land.

It is intolerable for slave owners to trample on this beautiful faith.

When the good faith is trampled to the core, there will be people who stand up and promote the evil faith, and when everyone wants to become the next slave owner society, then humanity can only destroy itself.

And art and knowledge are to tell human beings what is good and what is evil.

What moves you must be good, and what makes you disgusted and resist must be evil, which is the innate sensitivity of human perception.

Wang Yao has no prejudice against religion, because he does not participate, kowtows, and repaying his vows is a promise to himself, not how devout he is to the Buddha, but he feels that the legal texts of some religions are indeed very deep, otherwise most scholars in the world would not be researchers of a certain religious code.

For example, Mr. Qi Gong studied Buddhism, Mr. Chen Yinke also had a deep knowledge of religious subjects, and even Mr. Lu Xun also had a slight opinion on Buddhism.

Wang Yao likes to distinguish things from their essence, and he prefers to call religion such things as spiritual sustenance and strength.

Because he thinks that faith is a personal matter, and if you meet a confidant, you will confide in it, while religion is more like a collective, once something forms a collective, especially an idea, it is easy to form a doctrine.

Once the doctrine is formed, then it is likely to be exploited.

Wang Yao feels that it is better not to have a relationship of exploitation between people, or only a simple relationship of exploitation, because exploitation is likely to produce a desire for control and control, and then sublimate into slavery, so he is used to fundamentally eliminating the possibility of being used.

But he also knows that this is idealization, because human civilization has not yet evolved to such a noble level, but he is willing to work hard and wait for it.

Zheng Jingjing and the others, who were sleeping in the wild for the first time, were very excited, although they slept in the car, Wang Yao chatted with Xu Shoucheng and Qu Yuan until late at night before falling asleep, Wang Yao only slept for a while, then got up, and continued to kowtow along the position where he stopped yesterday until the sun rose.

The sun shone on the asphalt road, and the wind stirred the grass to bring a melodious chant of a young girl, the sound of which was distant and ethereal.

Wang Yao straightened up, looking at the sky that was still struggling with clouds and mist, and the figure of a girl was walking slowly, followed by several half-human-height giant beasts.
