Su Wen ignored the public opinion on the Internet, and went down the mountain again three days after returning to the Pure Heart Temple.

This time it was for the establishment of the Lu Provincial Buddhist Association.

All the monasteries in Lu Province have already been personally visited, and the establishment of the Buddhist Association is a natural thing.

With the addition of the 98 temples of Jingshin Temple, it is not surprising that 81 came on the day of its establishment, and 17 did not come.

In other regions, there have been cases where people who do not abide by the precepts and are bent on enriching themselves have been elected as members of the local Buddhist associations. This is another struggle of those people after they failed to set up their own Buddhist associations.

But these people are still a minority after all, and all the struggles are also mantis arms as cars.

After the defeat again, these people did not waste any more energy on this matter, so they did not even attend the establishment of the regional Buddhist association.

Due to the exemplary role of the temple and the deterrence of the Jingxin Temple to everyone, many abbots of monasteries in Lu Province who are bent on accumulating wealth have been packing up their property and preparing to return to the world at any time.

It took only one day for the Lu Provincial Buddhist Association to be founded, and the members of the association were the abbots of five monasteries and three lay people.

This time, many lay people were also invited to participate, so that they could participate in the Buddhist Association.

After all, the Buddhist Association is not only related to the monks, but also to the monasteries where they practice at home.

A day later, Su Wen returned to the Pure Heart Monastery again, and Lu Province also began to move, registering and examining all the monasteries, and if they were persuaded to do so, if they did not listen, they would be excluded from the list.

The first thing to deal with is the problem of non-observance of the precepts and various fees.

Including high-priced incense, collecting money in the name of the puja, and all kinds of other chaos.

At the same time, it is a coordination with local people and grassroots authorities, such as tourism bureaus in some places. These people have been attached to the Buddha for a long time to suck blood, and it is time to shake these bugs off.

I have to say that there are people who are bold at all times.

After the establishment of the Buddhist Association, there were many people who did not buy it.

Caozhou, there are four temples in the jurisdiction of Ganquan Temple, Longting Temple, Dongshan Temple, and Fohai Temple, and the abbot of Dongshan Temple is also one of the members of the committee.

The four monasteries have always been influenced by the tourism bureau, and there are merit boxes in the temples, and there are fake monks in charge of personal unsigning at the mountain gate, which is something that several monasteries have always hated, but there is nothing to be done.

As soon as the Buddhist Association was established, the abbot of Dongshan Temple Zhizhi took his disciples to find the Caozhou Tourism Bureau.

"The Director is not here. The staff said coldly when they heard his intention.

"It's Monday, where is the donor director at this time, and when will he be in the bureau?" asked Smart Hopten.

"I'm just a grassroots person, how do I know where the director is? I may be dealing with attracting investment, or I may be dealing with other things. ”

"Then the poor monk will wait here for a while. Wisdom said, and then waited with his disciples on the side.

From morning to noon, and then to evening, the director was not seen.

"Master, the director hasn't been here for a day. He doesn't want to see us, does he?" the apprentice beside him looked bitter.

"Then come back tomorrow. Smart said.

"What if we don't see you tomorrow?"

"Then come back the day after tomorrow. "Smart deep voice. In the past, I dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, but now that the Buddhist Association has been established, there is a clear requirement that these blood-sucking insects must be swept away.

Smart has been waiting for the tourism bureau for two days, and on the third day, the director finally appeared.

I had already seen it on the photo of the staff of the tourist bureau before, and I recognized him as soon as he entered the door. He is not very tall, but he is very strong, with a Chinese face and a little dark skin.

"Director Gao! The poor monk is polite. ”

"Who are you?" asked Director Gao, looking at the two of them.

"The poor monk Dongshan Temple is intelligent, and now he is a member of the Lu Provincial Buddhist Association, and wants to talk to Director Gao about the affairs of several temples in Ganquan Si, Longquan Temple, Dongshan Temple and Fohai Temple. Smart Asteten said.

"Come to my office and talk about it. Director Gao looked at the two of them, threw down a sentence and went straight through.

After Director Gao entered the room, he boiled water to make himself a cup of tea, during which Zhizhi and his disciples stood beside him.

Director Gao looked up at the two of them after making tea: "Say, what's the matter?"

"Master Gao, now that Buddhism has established a Buddhist Association, it manages all monasteries, and prohibits the sale of high incense in the temple, unsigning, and other things, so we hope that the Tourism Administration can remove the merit box, high incense, and the 'fake monks' who unsign in front of the temple. ”

Director Gao knocked on the table twice: "What is the Buddhist Association? Why haven't I heard of it?"

When the intelligent disciple heard this, his face was slightly angry, but the intelligent person was not moved at all and said:

"The Buddhist Association was established just two months ago, and it has been registered with the Religious Affairs Bureau, and it has the responsibility of communicating and inspecting all monasteries. ”

Hearing that it was filed with the Religious Affairs Bureau, Director Gao changed the topic and said, "Is it your intention alone or someone else's meaning?"

This is the common wish of all Buddhist disciples. "Smart deep voice.

"Absolutely. Director Gao had a smile on his face, but his smile was a little cold.

"Put merit boxes in the temple, high incense, these are also to subsidize the tour guides under the tourism bureau, so that they can bring tourists to you as much as possible. You often talk about promoting the Dharma, but the problem is that someone has to go to promote it, and if no one goes, who do you promote it to? When the tour guide brings tourists to you, there will naturally be losses in other places, and this money is subsidized here.

Since you don't want to, then we'll withdraw the manpower and the like. Right?

But you have to think about it, after all, the policy can't be exchanged for you every day.

It's not easy to withdraw and ask for it back. ”

Director Gao said in a long voice, the meaning of which is self-evident.

"There is a Lao Gao donor, as long as he can withdraw. In that case, I won't bother. "Wisdom Harmony said goodbye and left with the disciples.

"Hmph!" After the two of them left, Director Gao snorted coldly. He naturally heard about the Buddhist Association. Removing the people and merit boxes is naturally no problem.

But when you come to me, I won't be so easy to talk to.

"Master, he wants to play with that hand again, drive everyone away, and then wait for us to have to agree. After the intelligent disciple came out, he said with some resentment: "But now that the Buddhist Association is behind them, there is no need to be afraid of them." It's a big deal to find Master Su of Jingxin Temple, I heard that he also saved the emperor, and he will definitely be able to speak, so that this surnamed Gao can't eat and go around. ”

Zhizhi shook his head and said, "You, don't always think about revenge on others. The monks should be calm, others will grudge against you, and you will grudge against him, and finally the two of them will sink into hell together. Anger hurts people's minds, you have to remember. ”

"Yes, master. ”

The tourist office moved quickly, and the next day someone came to take the merit box away, along with the high incense sticks in several monasteries, and the fortune teller at the door.
