Chapter Ninety-Nine: Argumentation is No Hindrance
I saw dozens of monks meditating cross-legged outside the door, praying and reciting scriptures, and a few of them were obviously injured.
I don't know why, the first concept that came to Qingshan's mind when he saw this scene was actually "non-violent non-cooperation", no wonder the director has a headache for this, who can not have a headache with these stalkers?
This drama manager, who was finally relieved, introduced to an old monk who took the lead: "Master Akeno, this is the director of our crew, Mr. Shin Hirano, and this is the script director we specially invited, Master Kosuke Aoyama, the abbot of Mt. Sumida Koboji Temple, if you have any questions, just tell them." ”
The old monk known as Akeno first folded his hands and shouted a Buddha name, and then said in a deep voice: "Director Hirano, we are not people who mess around and don't know right and wrong, it's just that the drama you filmed really affected and even slandered the image of our Buddhism, so we have to come here to petition, hoping that you can stop the filming of this drama." ”
Then he turned his head and said to Qingshan in a tone of hatred that iron is not steel: "Abbot Qingshan, if Director Hirano is an outsider who doesn't understand the rules of our Buddhism, the old man can still understand it to some extent, but as the abbot of a famous temple in the land of Buddhist relics, how can you do such a thing that aids and abets?"
Hearing the four words of help, Aoyama's face couldn't help but change, and he said coldly: "Master Akeno, what you said is serious, right? Which of the Buddhist precepts says that you can't shoot TV dramas?"
Ming Ye was suddenly choked by Qingshan's sentence, and only after a while did he continue to speak: "Buddhism is about seeing through the red dust, but Abbot Qingshan, you don't seem to have seen through it, but you have been contaminated too much, right?"
"The Buddha just let us see through the red dust, and didn't say that we should completely get rid of the red dust, otherwise how can we purify all sentient beings?"
This rebuttal made Akeno speechless, indeed, if you break away from the red dust and don't come into contact with sentient beings, then how can you purify sentient beings? But he still reacted quickly, and continued to ask: "Since Pudu sentient beings, then you have to have the appearance of Pudu sentient beings, right? I have also watched this drama you filmed in general, how can that Xingchuan Gaoling look like a monk?"
"Oh, then please teach me Master Akeno where there is no monk in Hoshikawa Kaolin?" Aoyama asked in a cold voice.
"I only know how to fall in love all day long, and I don't think about meditation and cultivation at all, if the Hitotsubashi Temple is really inherited by him, then even the century-old temple will eventually be destroyed!" Although Akeno was talking about Hoshikawa Kaolin in the TV series on the surface, he stared straight at Aoyama when he spoke, and it was obvious that this was referring to Sang and scolding Huai!
For such an accusation, Qingshan naturally couldn't accept it, so he immediately retorted: "The space of the TV series is limited, so naturally it is impossible to show all the life of Xingchuan Kaolin in all aspects.
Qingshan's words immediately amused the people around him, and Qingshan continued to ask: "And why can't monks fall in love?
The patriarch of Qinluan that Aoyama said is the patriarch of the RB Pure Land True Sect, and it can be said that the entire Pure Land True Sect has been openly eating meat and drinking wine, marrying wives and having children since he began. And the current RB monks, no matter which sect you belong to, are embarrassed to say that the old-timers from hundreds of years ago are not.
Speaking of this, Aoyama suddenly remembered a question, so he asked, "By the way, Master Akeno, may I ask which sect you belong to?"
"I, I'm from the Nichiren sect. ”
"But I remember that although the Nichiren patriarch of the Nichiren sect himself was abstinent, he did not advocate that his disciples abstain from alcohol and sexuality. And don't you know what the current situation of the RB Buddha world is? If it is really a full abstinence like China, I will never take the risk of making a big disapproval to participate in this TV series. ”
"Although this situation is widespread, it is not suitable for public publicity anyway. ”
"How can this be called public propaganda? This is called seeking truth from facts, if a monk can't even recognize himself, he doesn't dare to recognize himself, then how can he pursue the path of perfection?!"
"You, you, you!"
Seeing that the old monk Akeno had been questioned by Aoyama and was speechless, Hirano Shinzai suddenly asked in a flash of inspiration: "May I ask this Akeno master, are you here on behalf of the Buddhist Association?"
"No, no, I'm only representing our Maple Grove Temple. Monk Akeno replied with some stumbling.
"Then do you obey the command of the Buddhist Association?" Hirano asked.
"This, this is naturally to be followed, after all, the Buddhist Association is in charge of all the temples in the RB. ”
"That's it, our play has been approved by the Buddhist Association, I don't believe I can show you the approved documents, and even take you to Master Togo, the head of the Buddhist Association in Tokyo, right now, do you have time now?"
Monk Akeno pondered for a long time, and then sighed: "Hey, it seems that we people are really only suitable for penance. Then he turned to the monks who were meditating cross-legged and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the temple." ”
Seeing that these people were finally sent away, Hirano really couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then turned his head to Aoyama and said respectfully: "Master Aoyama is really eloquent, today is really thanks to you, otherwise these guys who are not afraid of pain, hardship, beating, or scolding are really difficult to deal with!"
But what he didn't expect was that Qingshan's face did not show the slightest joy, but sighed lightly: "It's okay to argue, it's just a strong argument!"
In fact, what Aoyama wants to say is that RB Buddhism has embarked on a crooked path, and Buddhism should be pure and far away from red dust, but RB monks are more of a profession than a belief, and the reason why Nichiren Buddhism has become the first major sect of RB Buddhism is actually related to advocating asceticism.
PS: I just saw a piece of news, Song Zhe was arrested, and I couldn't help but put my hands together and sighed with emotion, "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end", people still can't do things that have no conscience.
