Chapter 1254: The Confluence of Buddhism and Taoism
This layer of window paper was pierced by Wang Xiu, causing the silence of the monks who were filled with righteous indignation, and the disciples of Buddhism who could become well-known monks did not have a few fools and pedantic, on the contrary, they were extremely shrewd, and everyone understood that there was a good opportunity to make their Taoism famous in the world and spread to future generations.
"Zhenjun's intention is very obvious, not to humiliate my Buddhism, but to make Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism three-legged, and eliminate the living ghosts of the outer sects that do not go along with my Middle Earth, it is definitely a good time." Monk Dafeng emphasized Wang Xiu's intentions, hoping that everyone could see through, and he also believed that there were enough benefits to impress these monks, and no one would refuse.
Everyone was silent, but they were all excited in their hearts, which of their own ancestors was not a high monk, or traced back to the Han and Tang Dynasties, the five ancestors Hui Neng Shenxiu, which one could not become a Buddha and Bodhisattva, why did the golden lotus in the sky say someone else.
If your own patriarch can become a Buddha, won't you be able to get the Buddha's fruition? His own patriarch became a Buddha and Bodhisattva, and no matter how poor he was, he could mix with the Arhat fruit position, which is a great thing.
Wang Xiu's intention is very obvious, to re-clarify the immortal system, the Tao, Buddha, Confucianism are all included, completely cut off the connection between Buddhism and Tianzhu, and form the Heavenly Court immortal system of Middle Earth, this is a huge chess game, even if you hate Wang Xiu deeply, you can't help but be amazed, this piece of meat is so attractive, to the point that people know that it is a trap, but they have to support it.
Without it, the reason is very simple, anyone understands that the heavenly court is just the shaping of the human dynasty, and no sect can be independent of the imperial court, whether it is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, it is a matter of the size of the interests, it depends on whether you have the ability to fight for the greatest interests within the rules.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the true monarch is in charge of the worldly authority, and we are waiting for the authority to fall into our hands, I am afraid that he has already been prepared. Since the true monarch does not mean to cause harm, why don't we and the disciples of Buddhism push the boat with the current, which can not only eliminate the evil ways of the foreign sects, but also strive for a higher status, and make it convenient for others and themselves. ”
Monk Dafeng is also a fickle person, since he wants to avoid Wang Xiu's butcher's knife, then maximize the interests of Buddhism, and what does it matter if some meat is spit out to his mouth.
What he didn't say was that the Zen sect he was in was definitely a completely middle-earthized Buddhist sect, to put it bluntly, it was a branch that integrated the Taoist theory, and it was also the Buddhist sect closest to the Taoist sect, on the contrary, the Faxiang sect, the Three Treatises sect, the Tiantai sect, the Huayan sect, the Pure Land sect, the Shingon sect and other sects were more or less inclined to the original Tianzhu Buddhism, and some could even be said to be extremely deeply involved, and Zen Buddhism got the greatest benefits.
Wang Xiu co-opted some of the Buddhist sects and cracked down on some of the schemes, to put it bluntly, it was a conspiracy, he and those senior monks saw it clearly, but they were like moths throwing fire, knowing that there was a trap in front of them, but they had to pounce on it without hesitation.
This is not an ordinary doctrinal argument, but the orthodox status of the school, that is, since the heavenly court has been recognized by the people of the imperial court, it is the division of the interests of the sect in the heavenly court, and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who can enjoy the blessings are also the Dharma Protector Vajra.
Now, their local Buddhist patriarchs can also be crowned Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, which in itself makes them unable not to fight for it, others say that a good life is just a good life, but they are not the same in their eyes, and with the sect of Buddha and Bodhisattva, they can have the upper hand in doctrinal debates.
"Zhenjun admires the 36 ancestors of Buddhism Zen Buddhism, Hui Neng, and is the 。。。。。 of the Buddha of Middle Earth"
Those senior monks didn't care about Wang Xiu's plan at all, the monk Dafeng took the initiative, Wang Xiu mastered the heavy handle of the Great Song Dynasty, and sealed a Buddha in the name of the imperial court, not to mention that the Taoist theoretical framework is perfect, which will have a great impact on the people, if you don't fight for the Buddha and Bodhisattva, I am afraid that it will decline day by day.
Didn't you see that Zen Buddhism won over Patriarch Huineng and became the first Buddha in Middle-earth? If you don't fight for it at this time, wait until everyone is sealed, and then you lick your face and beg, those soups and water are not even enough for tooth sacrifices.
They recalled the monks outside the Xuande Gate one after another, and the Buddhist sect, which originally hated the same enemy and wanted the court to submit, suddenly collapsed, and everyone was thinking about how to fight for the interests of the sect, as for the Tantra and those monks who were involved, they had already been put aside.
However, they didn't realize that Wang Xiu proposed that the three major positions of Buddha, Bodhisattva, and Arhat must be recognized by the king of people and enjoy the incense of the world.
That is to say, you must be canonized by the imperial court in order to become a real Buddha, otherwise you will be a pseudo-Buddha and will not be recognized by local governments.
This grabbed the lifeline, the initiative was in the hands of the imperial court, and all the Taoist systems of Buddhism must be attached to the imperial court, which was stricter than the monitoring of the degree.
Although, some people saw this and proposed that if Wang Xiu used this as a handle, I am afraid that all the Taoist systems of Buddhism would be restricted, but they would not be able to form a dominant resistance. Without it, just like the monk Dafeng said, sooner or later the Taichu True Monarch will return to Da Luotian, and at that time, whether the Dao is long and the Buddha is in decline or the Buddha is in decline, everything depends on the fixed number, and they only need to set the framework.
All the monks agreed, Wang Xiu is just raising the status of the Daomen, whether he can fight for the Buddha Gate in his lifetime, or between the two theories, swallow this piece of fat first, and it will be his own when it comes to the stomach.
In just a few days, the wind of the debate on Buddhism and Taoism changed, and most of the sects of Buddhism suddenly supported Wang Xiu, oh, it should be said that they supported Taichu Zhenjun, and reprimanded the two major Buddhist temples of Tantra and collusion with the Jurchens as scum of the outer way, and the descendants of Moro who wore the skin of the Buddha.
It's ridiculous, it's incredible, it's the same as a child's house, but it's so realistic, every second counts, and there are huge benefits, no one wants to lag behind others, and their own interests are lost.
Even if the Daomen rises again, in the eyes of these great monks, it is just a normal thing, they have absolute confidence to maintain the faith of the people, and everyone suddenly becomes harmonious.
As the interrogation became clearer, the relationship between the great masters of Buddhism and the masters of Taoism became much more harmonious, the sharp contradictions between each other were smoothed out, and there were more flatteries to each other.
Just like Cai Yi said: "Buddha is the way", the leading monks have a black line, and the original true monarch said, it is facing Haotian Hongjun, you Cai Yizhi is a vulgar red man, and you dare to speak out, it is another public case.
Wang Xiu, as the true monarch of Taichu, appeared at the conference for the last time, and the atmosphere was harmonious, he changed his aggressive debate style, but praised the wisdom of Buddhism, and the great virtuous monks were able to prove that the great awakening golden immortal won the Buddha's fruition.
Even if there is a small dissatisfaction with the voice of dissidents, in its happy atmosphere, it is like a stone falling into a deep pool, and there is not much ripple.
Yun Hao real people sang for the first time, the Tao originated from Haotian, the vitality is Hao, it is for Hongjun, the world's Taoism is not created by the three disciples of Hongjun, and it should be a confluence of the family and the establishment of Taoism.
