Chapter 709: A Month and a Half
Coming out of the palace, Su Wen was pulled back to the mansion by Li Zongping, and at the same time introduced some wealthy businessmen in the imperial capital.
After dinner, I returned to Jiming Mountain.
On the second day, he left with all the disciples, and did not return to the Jingxin Temple, but directly visited all the monasteries in Lu Province one by one.
There are a total of 97 temples, and with the addition of the Pure Heart Temple, there are 98 temples.
Su Wen went to every monastery. Usually you go to a monastery in the morning and then go to a nearby monastery in the afternoon.
When I only walked a few temples, I arrived at Xiangguang Temple one day, and the abbot heard that Su Wen and others had arrived at the bottom of the mountain and hurriedly greeted them.
Su Wen recognized this person at a glance as one of the more than twenty people last time, and this glance also made the abbot of Xiangguang Temple a little uneasy.
"I don't know why Master Su Wen is here?"
"As you know, after the establishment of the Buddhist Association, the Buddhist Associations in various regions will be established, and I will communicate with them in Lu Province this time to see what everyone thinks. Su Wen said with a smile, not mentioning what happened in Jiming Temple.
After hesitating for a long time, he lowered his head and asked Su, "Master Su knows it. The people who went to Jiming Temple that day were already preparing to set up a local Buddhist association to fight against you. ”
I thought Su Wen would be surprised when he heard the news, but I didn't expect Su Wen to react. I looked at him and asked, "Do you still want to practice Buddhism?"
"I don't want to, I don't have any talent, and my heart is full of distractions. Ascension shook his head. He didn't think that he would tell the story and the plan, he just wanted to wait and see.
But after seeing Su Wen, he couldn't hide the words in his heart, and couldn't help but say it to him.
At the same time, I also made up my mind to be an ordinary person.
This is also the relationship between Su Wen and the pressure on him. The monks in other places are fine, but in Lu Province, the prestige of the Jingxin Temple is really too great, and in any way, it is not comparable to other monasteries.
Xiangguang Temple is not far from the Pure Heart Temple, and he can hear almost anything about the Pure Heart Temple.
At first he was a little disdainful, then it turned into envy, jealousy, and finally awe.
That's why it's like this after meeting Su Wen.
Su Wen seemed to see the idea of ascending, and sighed slightly: "It's okay to be an ordinary person." It's just a fate with Buddhism, and I don't know how long it will take to practice again. It's a pity. ”
"It's not a pity, you are all people with great perseverance, and you are seeking the method of detachment, but how many people have been detached since ancient times? I don't want to pursue it all my life and get nothing in the end. It's better to let me live happily in the world for the rest of my life, and that's it. After ascending to the throne and speaking out his heart, his mind was much more open-minded at this time, and he could now figure out things that he hadn't figured out before.
For Su Wen, there is no fear.
"You can read the Buddhist scriptures if you have nothing to do, you don't have to go to the temple to practice, you can also do it at home. Su Wen said softly.
"Thank you, I will. In the next few days, I will prepare to return to the world, and none of the disciples in the temple will be able to complete the instrument, or those who can be made will not stay here. The disciples in the temple are all similar to me, they don't have much to cultivate, and their minds are all outside. Su asked the abbot, you arranged for someone to take over here. Watch them stay, and if they really have the heart to cultivate, they will stay. After all, I wore them in the past, and I can't blame them. ”
Ascension said to Su Wen from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay, if there are ordinary people, I can help with the contact work. As for the future, it will be up to them to be created. Su Wen nodded.
"I used to let go of those thoughts, but now it's much easier. Ascension stretched out his arms and faced Xiangguang Temple, as if to hug.
"After everything has been said, I will not delay asking the abbot, let people come in three days, and I will hand over the position of abbot. After saying that, he asked Su to fold the ten, and then went up the mountain without looking back.
Su Wen shook his head slightly, everyone has their own ambitions, and since their minds are not in cultivation, they can't be forced to stay.
The ascension was so calm, but it made Su Wen appreciate him very much. If he had such an attitude before, it is estimated that he would have been able to achieve some results in his cultivation, so why did he have to come to this point.
"Let's go, go to the next temple. Su Wen turned his head to the precepts.
Ninety-seven monasteries in Lu Province took Suwen a month and a half to complete.
There are 97 monasteries, of which there are more than 20 monasteries that are lax in discipline and are focused on accumulating wealth.
Almost a quarter of the proportion, which made Su Wen a little surprised.
Although it has long been known that there are many monasteries whose precepts are nothing, they look like Buddhism on the surface, but behind the scenes, they are like ordinary people. Some monks even work in monasteries for their salaries.
I didn't expect it to be so many.
Su Wen thought of Kuanyana's words again: "In the era of the end of the Dharma, the demon is clothed in a robe", Su Wen really agreed.
In the past month and a half, not only in Lu Province, but also in all parts of the country, Buddhism has moved.
One provincial association after another was established, and eight provincial Buddhist associations were established in a month and a half, and the situation seems to be very good.
Ke Suwen knew from what he saw in Lu Province that there might be an undercurrent under the great good.
In addition to the Buddhist associations of these eight provinces, the Buddhist associations of four other provinces were established first and hugged together.
These are the people who are said to be on the throne, one step ahead.
After Su Wen learned about this situation, he knew that he couldn't let them continue in tandem. Otherwise, if they become the climate, I'm afraid there will be a bit of trouble.
directly used a method of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle.
Ask the Religious Affairs Bureau to come forward.
Those people can get through to the local religious administration, but they can't get through to the national religious administration.
After the decree in the Religious Affairs Administration that "the National Buddhist Association and its subordinate institutions are recognized by the state" was handed down, the Buddhist associations in the four provinces were immediately declared null and void.
Although they still want to struggle, it is no longer in the sense of the big picture.
A month and a half turned the time from mid-July to September.
During this period, Zen Master Hongren led people to take over Xiangguang Temple, and most of the monks in it chose to leave, and only two monks remained, still wanting to embark on the path of cultivation.
A dragon, a tiger, and a bear, a harrier and others who entered the temple last year also left one after another.
Yilong and Yihu went back to the military academy directly to avenge the fact that they were almost disabled last year.
In just a few days, the news came back that the two of them practiced in the temple this time, and directly overturned six people, shocking many people in the military academy.
The man who injured Yilong last year was taken home after Yilong broke an arm this time and was taken home within a few days in the hospital. The military academy wanted to deal with a dragon and a tiger, but Zhu Yanming found someone to suppress the matter.
And Yixiong and others participated in this year's competition and won the first, third, and fourth rankings, which allowed Zhu Yanming to earn enough face.
Then the three of them were also recommended to the military academy, and two more soldiers were sent to the Pure Heart Temple to learn martial arts.
