Since the last time the enlightened monk preached, the incense of Lingguang Temple has become even more prosperous, and thousands of believers and tourists come here every day to worship from all directions.

Some of them come here to enjoy the beautiful and magnificent natural scenery here, some burn incense to worship the Buddha and pray for the Buddha's blessing, and some devout believers come here to worship the relics stupa and the contemporary Buddhist saint Enlightened Master.

This is another Buddhist saint in modern times after the old monk Xu Yun, the great virtue of Zen Buddhism, who is "one body and the five lineages", and it is a great honor and blessing to be able to listen to his Buddha voice and get his guidance.

Since the last time the enlightened master preached, after a marathon negotiation with the relevant government departments, Lingguang Temple has taken back the right to operate the temple tickets.

Of course, there is also a credit to Jin Haotian in this.

Originally, the relevant departments of the government were unwilling to return the right to operate to the temple, for them this Lingguang Temple is a cash cow, the annual ticket income is nearly 200 million, plus some other income around the 300 million a year, for this piece of fat related departments must be unwilling to give up.

However, after the enlightenment of the enlightened master, he became a spiritual leader in the Buddhist circles in China and even in the world, and his followers spread all over the world, and important figures from all walks of life in the world also became his loyal followers.

Over the years, Master Wudao has been advocating the removal of the commercialization of temples and the restoration of Buddhism to a pure land. Although his mention was supported by the vast majority of the believers. In particular, with the strong support of some of these important patriots at home and abroad, this matter finally came to the desk of the State Council.

This matter made the then Zaifu quite embarrassed, if this is opened, then other large and small temples in the country will follow suit, so the economic loss for the country is quite huge, but if you don't agree, it will offend those rich and rival the country's big tyrants, especially those patriots abroad who have made great contributions to the country's economic development, and the consequences caused by this are difficult for him to bear even as Zaifu.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Jin Haotian took a radical measure to break some self-evident unspoken rules in order to give an explanation to the authorities and everyone, and also to leave a way for the future development of his own family, Jin Haotian handed over all the business empire and the power of the dark world that he had worked so hard to build to the country.

Of course, the handing over of these industries and the power in his hands to the state is not gratuitous, but conditional. One of the conditions is that the authorities agree to the request of the enlightened master to return all the qiē of Lingguang Temple to Lingguang Temple, so that it will become a pure Buddhist holy place, a Buddhist realm.

Originally, there was a huge call and pressure on the top of the envoy Zaisuke, and after Jin Haotian proposed this, it could be regarded as taking over the siege for the envoy Zaifu, so he waved his pen and approved the request of the enlightened master, and said that if other temples also want to obtain the right to operate, they will do so, as long as someone can pay the price of Jin Haotian, they can get the same treatment, and it can be regarded as setting a benchmark for similar things.

Originally, the other temples thought that their spring was coming, but with this condition, those who were clamoring to return a piece of pure land to Buddhism suddenly stopped eating.

First of all, there must be a saint in your temple gate, and there must be a nationally recognized monk without a saint. However, it is difficult to produce a saint for hundreds of years, and it is not so easy for a nationally recognized monk to attain enlightenment. If you want others to recognize you, you are stronger than others in terms of conduct and Dharma cultivation, and you must be convincing, this difficulty can be imagined, they are all leaders in the industry, they are proud people, even if Buddhism pays attention to not angry, not arguing, not greedy, not bad, not impatient, but there are a few who can really do it, especially in such an impetuous society.

This is true for the general public, and the monks who were supposed to sit under the green lanterns, listen to the wooden fish drums, and recite the yellow rolls of the bay leaves.

Now the temple gate is not a place for practice, but a place to make a fortune, and a monk comes out at random, not a big money or a local tyrant.

In ancient times, there were 100,000 snowflakes of silver in the Qing Governor's Mansion for three years, so why should the current monks use it for three years?

Hehe, this topic is a bit far away.

Or the book is back to business.

It is said that after Lingguang Temple took back the right to operate, under the instruction of the enlightened master, Lingguang Temple began to open to tourists and believers for free, and no longer charged any admission fees.

At the same time, he also reformed the Lingguang Temple's Dharma Logistics Office, the implementation of civilian prices, those as high as thousands or even millions of sky-high incense has disappeared since then, in his words, the Buddha is needed a pious, benevolent heart, do not need to fight for wealth in exchange for a lot of gold and silver.

His move was praised by those who were in his heart. Everyone stretched out their thumbs one after another, and praised from the bottom of their hearts, this is the real pure land of Buddhism.

Of course, it was not all smooth sailing for him to carry out this initiative, including people inside the temple were also worried that if this was the case, the temple might be difficult to function.

But in fact, when they took this measure, the temple did not reduce the amount of incense oil, but increased a lot.

This qiē is attributed to the large amount of merit donated by the believers of the local tyrants, and these merits are so abundant that everyone is blushing.

In order to enable the monks to keep their nature and overcome their greed in the face of these rich merits, the enlightened monks strengthened the teaching of profound and subtle Buddhism to the monks, purified and sublimated their spiritual world, and at the same time formulated strict precepts, so that even if those monks were very moved, they did not dare to take any action.

In addition, in order to give full play to the merits of these merits, on the one hand, they expand the Zen monastery to promote Buddhism, on the other hand, they are also deeply involved in social charity activities, they are committed to the construction of dilapidated monasteries in the remote mountainous areas of the northwest, circulating scriptures, calligraphy treasures, promoting the Dharma and the sound of the Dharma, helping out-of-school teenagers in remote mountainous areas to go out of the mountainous areas to continue to complete their studies and master vocational skills to change their lives and benefit the society. And regularly publish the information of those funding, so that the financial disclosure, so that all people are very clear to understand the specific flow of their donations.

Monks do worldly things, and truly achieve universal sentient beings, with compassion.

This qiē and qiē won the unanimous praise of the believers.

Under this series of actions and initiatives, the status and prestige of this Lingguang Temple not only in the Buddhist community, but also in the general society are getting higher and higher.

So much so that for a time, the people preferred to donate their money to Lingguang Temple rather than donate it to a certain cross society with this government background but whose finances were unknown.

This move by the people made a certain cross society disgraced, which made the higher authorities very angry, and dealt with a large number of incompetent and even illegal officials to save the reputation of a certain cross society with the anger of the people.

But there is a way that Rome was not built in a day, but it took less than a day to destroy miè.

Due to the accumulation of bad senses over time, it is not that they can redeem their luck and restore the public's confidence in them through a few vigorous anti-corruption and anti-corruption actions.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake for ten years, I am afraid of the well rope.

Because the entrance fee has been cancelled and you can enter and leave the temple freely, a large number of tourists and devotees come here every day.

The people who came far exceeded the reception range that Lingguang Temple could bear. Therefore, for the sake of safety and the monks' practice, Lingguang Temple adopted a method of limiting the number of people, and when the number of people in the temple exceeded the acceptable number of people within the specified time, they did not let any believers and tourists in.

Of course, this information is also the first LED screen next to the gate of the temple to be displayed in real time to inform everyone.

After several patient explanations, the tourists and devotees also expressed their understanding and gratitude for this move of Lingguang Temple, after all, it is also for their safety.

At noon on this day, the LED display screen outside the temple gate has clearly informed everyone that the number of tourists and believers in the temple has reached the limit, and at the same time, the little monks who are responsible for guarding the temple gate have also begun to refuse those tourists and believers to enter.

Seeing the resolute little monk, everyone had to shake their heads helplessly, and they kept regretting that they were a few minutes late.

Just as they were about to go back, they suddenly found that the little monks who had resolutely refused to let them in just now had allowed a pair of young men and women to enter unimpeded.

But don't treat it, this can't help but make those who were blocked out of the door start to be unhappy, so they all surrounded one by one, and expressed strong condemnation to the little monks guarding the door, and they were very excited.

"Why, if he can go in, we can't?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be calm."

"Don't be impatient, if you don't explain it clearly today, Lao Tzu will be polite to you today."

"Donor, Buddhism is pure, please accumulate virtue in your mouth, otherwise the Buddha will blame."

"Hmph, if you want to blame, the first thing to blame is you, these little monks who bend the law for personal gain and abolish the public with their own interests."

"It's just why we treat it differently, we need an explanation."

"That is, at this time, we must give an explanation, if we absolutely do not agree."

…… For a while, those who were blocked began to get excited.

This is an old monk who rushed to hear the news, and after asking the reason, he said lightly: "Donors, please be calm and don't be impatient, listen to the old monk and I have a few words." ”
