Chapter 702: Day 1
Su Wen's lecture lasted for a full hour, and he talked about what the Buddhist Association can do, what it is ready to do, and all these aspects.
Let everyone have a clearer understanding of the Buddhist Association in their hearts.
At this point, no matter whether others agree or not, they cannot stop the establishment of the Buddhist Association, and even if there is opposition, it will be excluded from the Buddhist Association that will be established.
After Su Wen finished speaking, he got up and saluted everyone, and then there was a round of applause.
For what Su Wen said, most people are still very much looking forward to it.
Next, Jing Zhen stepped forward to speak, and it was the next arrangement.
The first is the formation of the National Standing Committee of the Buddhist Association, in which each of the eight sects that promote this matter will have one place, and the other monks will elect the remaining four places.
After the election of the Standing Committee, the official establishment of the Buddhist Association can be announced.
After the establishment of the Buddhist Association, there are still a lot of things, such as reporting, and all monasteries have to report to the Buddhist Association.
Some of these ineligibility will be excluded.
These excluded are monasteries that employ a few fake monks, or are completely controlled by local personnel, and the purpose is no longer to propagate the Dharma, but to collect money.
After Jingzhen finished speaking, it was already twelve o'clock, and seeing that many people below couldn't sit still, he asked everyone to dismiss and rest first. It was the hottest time of the year, and it was a sunny day, and many of the disciples were soaked with clothes.
Many disciples of the southern monasteries lamented that the weather in the north was hotter than in the south. At this time, it was already raining during the day in the south, and it was raining at night, and I shivered under the heavy rain every day.
I didn't expect to experience such hot dog weather in the north.
Not only the disciples, but also many mages were a little overwhelmed.
Seeing that everyone scattered to find a shady place, a few good believers carried in two large buckets, which were full of mung bean soup, specially designed to relieve the heat.
This was arranged by Fang Daoyan because the weather was too hot.
There are also a lot of ice cubes in the mung bean soup, and the water temperature is cool.
"Master, it's too hot. I used to think it was cold in the north. Haining wiped the sweat from his head, hid in the shade and watched those people go to make mung bean soup, ready to go over when there were fewer people.
"Everything is vain, just look at how the heart ......," Ruo said lightly, sitting in the shadows.
A few disciples who had beaten mung bean soup and hid nearby to drink it were greatly admired. In such a hot weather, there is such a good concentration, and he can still teach his disciples. I don't know if it's the mage of that monastery.
If it was said for a long time, Haining summed up: "It means that the mind is calm and naturally cool, right?"
If he smiled slightly, he said to Haining: "Apprentice, you really understand." ”
"Poof!" a few disciples next to him almost squirted.
After saying a lot of words, the Buddhist scriptures were all about a dozen sentences, so this was what they meant?
After waiting for a long time, Ruo wiped his bald head and sighed: "Why are there so many people?"
After waiting for twenty minutes, there were still a lot of people around the place where the mung bean soup was distributed.
"Master, the heart is calm and naturally cool. Haining said quietly.
"How can there be cold mung bean soup with ice when the heart is calm. Good apprentice, go get me a bowl. ”
As soon as the words were finished, several monks next to him looked at the if with admiring expressions, this one was too undisciplined.
What you just said, you were eaten by yourself so quickly?
Even if ordinary people resist, they won't hit themselves in the face, right? Even if they want to fight, they won't be so fast, right?
"Hey, Haiping's old bald apprentices are there!" Ruo, who was looking at the crowd, suddenly shouted, and then pushed Haining: "What you do is better than Haiping's apprentices, and this matter can't be left behind them, go, go." ”
Haining glanced at his master with resentment.
On such a hot day, I have to squeeze there to take mung bean soup, I feel hot when I think about it.
But he still reluctantly got up and walked towards the crowd.
Su Wen, who was in the distance, looked at the scene here and said to Dao Yan: "The sun is more poisonous in the afternoon, prepare more iced mineral water for a while, and then prepare more mung bean soup." ”
In the afternoon, it was time to vote, and everyone voted for four people to be the first standing committee members of the Standing Committee of the Buddhist Association.
After Jingzhen finished explaining the rules, everyone was given a pen and paper. Then he stood in front with six disciples, ready to count the votes.
There was no scene of people talking to each other and discussing with each other. It can be said that most monks are relatively strong-willed and have their own opinions, otherwise it would be impossible to abandon everything and become monks.
They are all people with great determination.
Therefore, this matter naturally has its own considerations.
As the monks stepped forward to place the notes on the table, the six disciples began to count the votes quickly, and marked the orthography behind the names.
The largest number of monks who came today were from the Pure Land Sect, and Su Wen also thought that the abbot of the Pure Land Sect was more likely to be elected to the Standing Committee. If there are two of the four people and three are disciples in the Pure Land, it is not surprising at all.
And don't care. Everything has to be done by people, no matter who it is, as long as it is done well.
Buddhism doesn't pay attention to what is balanced, checks and balances, this set of things.
I want people who can do things.
However, when the vote came out, the results were somewhat unexpected.
The first vote, Su Wen originally thought that he would be a disciple of the Pure Land Sect, but he didn't expect it to be the abbot of the Temple of Sorrow, Yuanji, who received almost a quarter of the votes.
You must know that this time it is not about choosing a few people to vote, but voting for anyone, as long as it is someone in the field.
There are at least about 300 abbots in the temple, and Yuanji alone gets a quarter of the votes, which shows how terrifying it is.
When Jing Zhen shouted out Yuanji's votes, even Yuanji was shocked, he didn't expect so many people to vote for him.
Many of the monks turned their heads and smiled gently at Yuanji.
Although Yuanji has always been located in the north, his twenty years of ascetic practice have allowed his reputation to spread to the ears of his disciples in the southern dojos.
Many people feel that such a person, as a standing committee member of the Buddhist Association, can do things better.
With the nervous counting of votes, soon the second, third, and fourth people were also elected.
The second of them was Master Huai, the abbot of Tianmen Mountain Monastery. It got 150 votes, almost a tenth of the votes.
The third person was Master Changming, the abbot of Luyuan Temple, who received 135 votes.
The fourth person is Master Guangquan, the abbot of Yunlin Temple, who got 11 votes.
Among them, Tianmen Mountain Temple and Luyuan Temple are both Pure Land Sect dojos, and Yunlin Temple is the dojo of Huayan Sect.
Not much different from what Su Wen had expected.
The Dharma teachers and disciples voted for the standing committee members of the Buddhist Association, the people who influenced their future, and the Dharma teachers who were extremely capable and famous.
Su Wen is not worried about what these people will not apply.
After all, the Buddhist Association also has a set of rules and regulations, and it also has personnel to deal with various things, as long as it ensures that the selected people can be fair in all aspects and have no selfish motives.
At present, it is only the first session, and now it will be fine, and it will gradually mature after the second session.
