Chapter 908: The Dispute of Buddhism and Taoism

Ye Xiang didn't know that Yue Qiluo had thought so much, but looked at the mountain gate and pinched his fingers, and shouted softly: "Hidden!"

I saw that the mountain gate slowly disappeared in front of me, and the hidden mountain array of the mountain gate also played a role, only to see with the naked eye, from the place of the mountain gate to the top of the disappear, which is equivalent to the mountain directly missing seventy or eighty meters, simply this mountain is not coming, otherwise such a thing may attract the attention of the state.

Seeing this, Ye Xiang nodded with satisfaction and said, "In this way, no one will easily enter the sect." ”

Yue Qiluo also nodded, she didn't expect that this mountain gate would have such a role, this is equivalent to giving the sect an insurance, think about it, her own sect caused trouble outside, came to the sect and hid, and the other party chased here but couldn't find it, it feels cool to think about it.

But I'm afraid that such a situation will not appear, with Ye Xiang such a grandmaster, plus Yue Qiluo, an old demon girl who has lived for a hundred years, I'm afraid that everything on the earth can be settled!

Ye Xiang did not release the main hall of the sect, but put it in the system space, and the rest will be done slowly later, today is just a ceremony, and the Xuantian Sect has been established, as for the rest, he is not in a hurry.

didn't stay on the mountain anymore, Ye Xiang went home with Yue Qiluo directly.

Although it is a religious conflict, the rise and fall of the two are inseparable from the emperor's love and hatred, and the result is that the powerful one is easier to win, and the loser will suffer the doom of destruction. The dispute between the Taoist and the Buddha was first seen in the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Taoist priests discussed the difficulties; in the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Zhi made a 'argument on Taoism' to criticize the deceit of the immortals; in the Western Jin Dynasty, there was also a dispute between the Taoist priest Wang Fu, and Wang Funai made the "Lao Tzu Hu Jing", which was an important material for the debate in later generations; however, the white-hot controversy was after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, when Kou Qianzhi of the Taiwu Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty opened up the new Heavenly Master Dao, and made it a national religion, and established the religious order of Taoism.

In the first three years of Emperor Tai of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty, the Taoist priest Gu Huan wrote the Yixia Theory, which led the Ming monk Shao to write the Theory of Zhengerjiao and Huitong to refute the Taoist Yixia Theory to refute it

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Lu Xiujing and Liang Tao Hongjing systematized the teaching and the collation of Taoist classics, and their influence on society was relatively increased, which was enough to compete with Buddhism. Huitong refuted the Taoist Yixia theory to refute it, and Zhang Rong wrote the door law, advocating that Taoism and Buddhism are consistent, and Taoism is the foundation, Buddhism is the trace, and advocates the theory of the original trace, but in terms of the advantages and disadvantages of the two, Taoism is the first.

In the Northern Dynasty, in the first year of Emperor Zhengguang of Xiaoming, there was also a dispute between Taoism and Buddhism in the palace, that is, Jiang Bin, a Taoist priest of the Qing Taoist Temple, and Shamen Tan Wuzhi of Rongjue Temple, with the birth of Lao Tzu and the Buddha as the theme of the dialogue. Prior to this, Zhen Luanzhi's "Treatise on Laughter" and Dao'an's "Theory of the Two Teachings" were important treatises on the debate on the merits of Taoism and Buddhism at that time, and both of these books vigorously discussed the nobility of the teachings with strong arguments.

However, in the Northern Dynasties, the struggle of the Taoist Buddha was not only a dispute between the two sides, but also the policy oppression of the authorities, that is, in the famous 'Three Martial Powers to Destroy the Buddha' in history, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Buddhism, with heavy casualties and burned out of scriptures.

The three martial arts to destroy the Buddha refers to the Northern Wei Dynasty Taiwu Emperor to obtain the Taoist priest Kou Qian's way of pure and quiet immortalization, and the instigation of Situ Cui Hao, which is to edict the states, pit the sand gate, and destroy the Buddha statues. Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty wanted to be in the world with his fate, listened to the words of Taoist priests Zhang Bin and Yuan Song, and was determined to destroy the Buddha. Tang Wuzong favored the Taoist priest Zhao Guizhen, demolished more than 4,600 Buddhist temples, forced 260,500 monks and nuns to return to the world, and collected two tax households. It is the great catastrophe of Buddhists in history.

The Sui Dynasty unified the north and the south, the Tang Zuo Dynasty Xing, with the surname Li of Laozi and the Tang Dynasty, gave Taoism a special courtesy, Taizong made it clear that Taoism lived above Buddhism, and the seat of the Tao first Buddha became the consistent policy of the Tang Dynasty, and Taoism had to flourish. In the fourth year of Wude, Taoist priest Fu Yi played 11 articles of Shatai monks and nuns, Fa Lin of Jifa Temple wrote "Breaking the Evil Theory" on the vanity of Taoism, and Li Zhongqing wrote "Ten Differences and Nine Mystery Theory" and Liu Jinxi wrote "Theory of Manifesting Righteousness" in Taoism, criticizing Buddhism and fiercely arguing about the priority of Buddhism and Taoism. Eight years, Dingdao, Confucianism, and Buddha's order.

Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty convened the monks and Taoists to discuss in the inner hall three times in the third year; in the fifth year, the monk Jingtai and the Taoist priest Li Rong again sparked a controversy over the transformation of Laozi into the Hu Sutra; until the second or third year of Longshuo, the controversy still did not end. As a result of these Buddhist and Taoist debates, the Taoist side took the teachings of the Buddhist scriptures and produced various scriptures to counter Buddhism, and Buddhism also absorbed a large number of Taoist teachings and fabricated scriptures to confront each other.

During the Tang Dynasty, Luo Gong, the senior disciple of Taishang Laojun, saw Tang Xuanzong, and Tang Xuanzong wanted Luo Gongyuan to fight with Master Vajra Sanzang, the first ancestor of Buddhist Tantra, and test the mana with King Kong Sanzang in the imperial court, and Luo Gongyuan's mana was far better than Master Sanzang, and Sanzang admired Luo Gongyuan, which was more friendly this time.

Taoism was active in the Song Dynasty, and Wang Chongyang founded the Quanzhen Sect, making Taoism an elite school and nationalizing italism. Taoist priest Lin Lingsu and monk fighting law, Lin Lingsu to Song Hui: Zong "Interpretation of the Tao is harmful, although it is indestructible today, it is combined and corrected, the Buddha temple is changed to Gongguan, Shakya is changed to Tianzun, Bodhisattva is changed to Dashi, Arhat is changed to Venerable, and the monk is a monk, all of whom keep their hair and crown and carry out Jane."

Huizong relied on the music, in the first month of the first year of Xuanhe, issued an edict, changed the Buddha to the Tao, changed the clothes, called the surname; Soon after, the nun was changed to a female virtue. The crown prince went to the palace to fight, so that Hu monk Lizang and other twelve people and Wutai monks, Dao Jian and other Lin Lingsu fighting, the monks failed, willing to wear a crown and hold Jane, many monks committed suicide in shame.

In the Yuan period, Qiu Chuji stopped killing the move, Taoism influenced Genghis Khan, Taoism as the state religion, and then Qiu Chuji's fifth generation of disciples Li Zhichang occupied the Buddhist temple, destroyed the Buddha statue, and the 'Taishang mixed Yuan Shangde Emperor Ming Weihua Hu Cheng Buddhist scriptures' and 'Lao Tzu eighty-one map', rigidly published, Shaolin Temple Fuyu reprimanded its hypocrisy, Xianzong five years to make the two of them argue, the Yuan Dynasty because it was the Hu regime, deliberately favored Buddhism, resulting in the defeat of the will. Emperor Yuan then ordered the ban on the Tao Te Ching, except for the scriptures such as Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing and Lao Tzu Eighty-one Hua Tu; after that, the two religions fought openly and secretly, and the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown by Liu Bowen, a Taoist priest of Emperor Hongwu.

Liu Ji said: Yuan monk Xiangmai and others, jealous of the classics of Chinese Taoism, all the books of Tianzhang Longwen, the canon of Langhan Yuji, the Confucianism of the times, the Shi Shi returned to the Tao seven or eight out of ten, Xiangmai is on the Hu lord Kublai Khan, burned all the Chinese Taoist scriptures, and his order said: Those who dare to receive only words on a piece of paper will not be pardoned.

Since the beginning of the Chinese Taoist scriptures, when the Song Dynasty was overturned, Hu Lu chaotic Hua, away from the Ming and obscure, the yin invaded the yang, so also. Since Jingkang Hui Qinbei Hunting, when the day of the Jin Rebellion, Qiang Hu Naizuo, the book of destroying the Chinese Dao, to the question of Hu Yuan in 272 years, the demon book of 90 volumes, counterfeiting the Tang Dao Xuan, Daoshi, Xuanji, Zhisheng, Fa Lin, etc., and destroying the way of China, its argument and pseudo-record said: The soul of the Da Luo Jade Emperor was frightened in the Nine Heavens, the Yuan Shi Tianzun dared to fall on the three Qings, the Ten Thousand Heavens Sect Master was ashamed and embarrassed, and the Jiufu Cave Immortals were ashamed and landless, destroying the Emperor of Heaven, destroying Kong Lao, blinking the evil of the Yellow Emperor, and the words could not be exhausted. Gai Huangdi is the ancestor of Tianliji, Lao Tzu is the ancestor of Tang, and the ancestor of the people of the time destroyed themselves, and the way of the Chinese to destroy China, the people of Jinhu Yuan of Shiliao.

Emperor Lizong sighed and said: Hundreds of thousands of volumes, only in terms of the way of Chinese Yidi, its superiority is not to be debated and can be known. Therefore, the title of the book of destroying the Tao and demons is on the left: four volumes of "The Record of Buddhism and Taoism", one volume of "Continuation of Buddhism and Taoism", three volumes of "Zhen Zheng", eight volumes of "Justification and Righteousness", two volumes of "Breaking Evil Theory", fourteen volumes of "Hongming Collection", thirty volumes of "Guang Hongming Collection", fifty-five volumes of "Fayuan Zhulin", five volumes of "Zhiyuan Argument Pseudo-Record", and twenty-two volumes of "Buddha Tongzai".

History: Master Xiangmai slandered God, burned the "Daozang", destroyed the Chinese Dao, and was killed by thunder!

During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, there was another fighting incident, Emperor Yongzheng believed in Taoism, and the eight princes who fought with him, Achina, believed in Tibetan Buddhism and asked the lama to rectify Yongzheng, and was later killed by Emperor Yongzheng by asking Taoist priests to use Taoism five thunder law.

The struggle between the two religions is nothing more than a view of the door, and the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism has moved towards integration so far. When the saints of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism gather together, the boundaries between the three religions have been confused, and the reflection is particularly obvious in the folk ancestral temples.

However, when it comes to the dispute between Dao and Buddha, the Daomen side is full of tears.

I have to admit that whether it is the Southern or Northern Dynasties, the government of all dynasties has destroyed the Buddha several times, destroyed the Buddhist temple, and forced the monks to return to the world, but as long as the Buddhist temple still does not pay taxes and there are still people who believe, the destruction of the Buddha is only temporary.

Buddhism has taken root in the Central Plains for so many years, so Buddhism is just silent for a while, and it will soon rebound. After all, the mass base of the people is really high, the common people don't understand any big truths, most of the people are illiterate these days, and the reincarnation theory of fate is particularly marketable.

In this life, as long as you accumulate merit and do good, you will be able to reincarnate in the next life, which is the most simple wish of the people at the bottom.

Although Buddhism's move did make a great contribution to correctly guiding the atmosphere of the world, it also provided a theoretical basis for the ruling class to exploit the common people.

Ya, you created sins in your previous life, and you are so miserable in this life, this is what you should atone for, or be honest as a cow and a horse.

And the teachings of the Taoist sect are high and low in the spring and white snow, and the common people don't understand it at all, and they can't even understand it without a certain cultural literacy. You can't say anything to an illiterate person, twelve-story building, swallowing a golden pill in the belly, my life is up to me, right?

And the cost of cultivation is too high, at least you have to read and write, and you have to be able to alchemy and draw talismans or something, as for becoming an immortal, it may not be successful. On the contrary, the threshold of Buddhism is very low, people don't talk about becoming a Buddha, and they don't care about your life, just draw a piece of cake for you, accumulate virtue and do good deeds in this life, suffer and suffer, and you can be reincarnated into a rich and noble family to enjoy a rich life in the next life.

Even if it's a psychological comfort, it can make people feel a lot better, and if you are usually bullied, you can comfort yourself, don't look at you in this life, you don't know what to reincarnate in the next life!

Therefore, in this way, Buddhism has accumulated over the years, and in the eyes of people of insight, it is a decisive force that can almost influence the situation in the world.

However, seventy or eighty years ago, the struggle between the two families of Buddhism and Taoism began to ease, of course, it is not that there is no contradiction between the two families, but that the two families have no time to contradict.
