Chapter 265: Heaven and Earth
Director Song was still in a meeting, and Su Ming had already taken over the power of the head here.
Less than two days after exercising his power, Su Ming encountered his first problem.
This is a problem that all leading cadres will encounter.
Looking at the few bottles of good wine, a few good cigarettes, and a thick brown paper envelope in front of him, Su Ming knew that the time had come to test his party spirit.
"I said uncle, what are you doing here!" Su Ming was a little speechless and said to Su Desheng, the eldest uncle sitting opposite.
After contracting the project from Sister Tong, this uncle came to Su Ming as soon as possible.
"Su Ming, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else." Uncle waved his hand vigorously and said a little crampedly: "I don't thank you for giving me the project." You are now a leader, and the company, the family has a big business, and the expenses are also large, you take care of the family, and the family also tries to repay you, as much as you can help. ”
"My uncle, you led the team and did the project well, which is the greatest help to me. It's not that I refute your face, you bring these things and money back, it's not that I don't know your situation, the engineering team was organized, and the project money has not been paid, and your side must be tight. These cigarettes and alcohol, if they can be returned, they will be returned, and if they can't be returned, they will be distributed to your co-workers. ”
knew that the uncle had good intentions, but Su Ming definitely couldn't accept it. First, he is a relative of the uncle, and Su Ming doesn't want to be too vulgar; Second, a private boss like Su Ming actually doesn't like to receive gifts.
To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to taking his money and giving it to him.
Seeing what the uncle was going to say, Su Ming straightened his face slightly, half-jokingly, half-seriously: "Uncle, besides, you just made me make a mistake, I'm a party member!" ”
"It's not just me, it's what the workers discussed. In the past, in the county, there was less life and less money. Now that you have given you a chance, everyone wanted to thank you in person, but they were afraid of disturbing your work, so I was asked to be a representative. Bring these with you. Uncle said.
"I received the kindness, I must not accept things, and the party has to discipline it on the head." Su Ming said with a smile.
After rejecting the uncle's gift, Su Ming was actually quite happy in his heart.
It's not just intrigues and corruption that make people happy, sometimes sticking to principles improves moral cultivation. There is also a sense of satisfaction.
The key to knowing etiquette is that you have money, and it is true that economic development is the first priority. If people who can't afford to eat talk about morality, it's not boring, it's shameless.
"It seems that it is necessary to set up a high prize moral model award in the zoo in the future!" Su Ming pondered in his heart while surfing the Internet.
The number of followers on Weibo has surged geometrically, and it is now close to 30,000 and still growing.
The videos that were retweeted made a big difference. The way the web spreads is explosive, as long as there is enough engaging content. Don't worry about fans at all.
There are too many messages, Su Ming now lacks an operation team, and he can't manage this Weibo account alone, so he can't take care of it, and it is impossible to reply to all the messages one by one, so he can only glance at it in a hurry and know it in his heart.
One of the comments caught his attention. This message is relatively low in popularity and has been drowned, but the content in it. But it's worth pondering.
A netizen called 'Toad Living in the Desert' proposed that 'although the project of the big-eared fox fairy is interesting, it will not be characterized as a feudal superstitious activity, and I hope the zoo will be careful.' Don't suddenly 404 one day......
Judging from the content of the message itself, it doesn't really matter.
Su Ming had thought about this problem before, don't waste the boss's strength to develop the project of the big-eared fox fairy, and end up pitting himself.
To this end, he also specially consulted Wang Jianjian.
Feudal superstition, folk customs, entertainment, and religion overlap with these concepts. Sometimes it's hard to tell the line.
For example, welcoming the God of Wealth during the New Year and sending the king of the stove is a custom, which is also related to religion and is also a kind of entertainment, but in the final analysis, it comes from feudal superstition.
There are also going to the temple to pray for blessings, doing things, and donating incense oil, how can this be counted?
Wang Jianshe consulted another leader in charge of religion in the city, and finally explained to Su Ming that those who are registered with the relevant state departments and approved by the state are legal religions and are protected; Those with religious overtones, which can contribute to economic prosperity, the happiness of the people's lives, and the maintenance of social stability and unity, can be regarded as folk customs and entertainment activities, and are permitted; As for those who cloaked themselves in the cloak of religion and aimed at accumulating wealth, they engaged in personality cults, spread fallacies and heresies, and caused social turmoil and losses to the people's lives and property.
In addition, some traditional bad habits, such as dancing gods, with yin marriage, etc., although they are stored by default, they are not supported, and once there is a violation, they must also be cracked down.
From this point of view, the big-eared fox fairy project is naturally legitimate.
Su Ming thought deeper and further. He had previously considered that if the big-eared fox fairy project could be stained with a little religious aura, it would be more conducive to future development.
But now, since even ordinary netizens are aware that this is risky, it is best not to touch this line, so as not to be self-defeating.
Now that reservoirs, entertainment companies, and zoos are developing steadily, there is no need to take risks, and the big-eared fox fairy is positioned as the most suitable and safest entertainment project.
"Well, you are right in this way, now that you are in a stage of steady development, stability is the first priority." After listening to Su Ming's plan, Zhao Yun nodded in agreement.
"Then you still brought me to burn incense?" Su Ming inserted a stick of incense in his hand into the incense burner in front of him, and rolled his eyes at Zhao Yun a little angrily.
"Hehe, if you don't engage in feudal superstition, it doesn't mean that you can't ask God to worship Buddha. You are now a businessman, big or small, how can there be a businessman who does not worship the Bodhisattva? ”
Su Ming and Zhao Yun, the two are now incense in the largest temple in Yangchuan City, Deyuan Temple.
Deyuan Temple is not far from the zoo, one is in the east of the back mountain, the other is in the west, it is considered to be across the mountain, and it takes less than 20 minutes to drive along the foot of the mountain.
Deyuan Temple has a pivotal position in Yangchuan City, and even in the Buddhist community of the province.
To be precise, Deyuan Temple is a large building complex, but also a famous tourist attraction in Yangchuan City, covering an area of hundreds of acres, the main hall, dozens of side halls, pavilions and pavilions, carved corridors and paintings, release ponds, lotus swings, large and small landscapes 7749 places, the environment is beautiful and the scenery is pleasant.
Most of the so-called forty-nine scenic spots, of course, are suspicious of making up the numbers, but the carving of a huge white marble at the gate is extremely rare, vividly depicting the grand occasion when Shakyamuni came into the world.
At that time, the world was born as a baby, there were two dragons spitting water to purify the body, a dragon spitting hot springs, a dragon spitting ice springs, the world-honored volleys took seven steps forward, each step out, the feet gave birth to a brilliant golden lotus, seven steps to complete, the world-honored one pointed to the sky, one finger to the ground, said: heaven and earth, I am the only one.
On that white marble wall, such a scene is carved.
The phrase "the world is underground, only I am the only one" is often misunderstood, but in fact, this is not a declaration of dragon arrogance.
In Buddhism, this 'me' refers to 'my knowledge', that is, 'one's own heart'. What the Buddha really meant by this sentence is that there is nothing more important in the world than maintaining one's self, and at no time should one forget one's own true heart.
"I am a Buddha" also means this, and the mind is the Buddha. As long as you understand your heart and follow your heart, everyone is your own Buddha. Each person is the master of his or her own life, and does not have to be at the mercy of anyone else or a God who is above anyone.
The monk said that the wine and meat passed through the intestines, and the Buddha sat in his heart, which is the same meaning.
"In a sense, the origin of Buddhism is actually philosophy, and to study the teachings of Buddhism is to study the principles of life. Of all the world's religions, Buddhism is the only one that does not claim to be a godhead or engage in a cult of personality, but rather inspires its followers to discover their own potential. This is very similar to Marlows's humanistic psychology. ”
Zhao Yun, a middle-aged and old man, really knows a lot, and he walked all the way, introducing Buddhism to Su Ming all the way.
However, Su Ming noticed a very interesting detail: the gate of Deyuan Temple, the white marble statue, and the center line of the entire Deyuan Temple are on the same line, if you look down from the sky, they are just aimed at the Yangchuan City Government Building more than ten kilometers away.
Why bother with these details? Disciples of Buddhism also ask for survival and development, if even the monks can't eat enough, what are they talking about purifying sentient beings? Do you know the origin of this Deokyuan Temple? ”
"I don't know." Su Ming shrugged, a year ago, he was still a dead college student who was worried about tuition and living expenses, how could he have the kung fu to take care of Deyuan Temple.
Deyuan Temple existed in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, until the invasion of devils in World War II, a fire razed to the ground. Twenty years ago, there was only a small land temple at the entrance of Deyuan Temple, and there was not even a temple blessing, which was simply a wasteland.
Later, a great monk of Huineng came, made a great wish to repair Deyuan Temple, he spent almost ten years, traveled all over half of China, all sides of the run, contact appeal...... Or rather, pull investment sponsorship.
Today's Deyuan Temple is his hard-nosed 'fate'.
Monk Huineng naturally became the presiding officer of Deyuan Temple. Unlike the monks who only know how to eat fasting and chant Buddha, Huineng is actually quite business-minded, and people are also open, and in just a few years, Deyuan Temple has been carried forward and expanded, becoming the largest temple in Yangchuan City, and he himself has served as the vice chairman of the CPPCC and the vice president of the Yangchuan Religious Association. In terms of speaking, he is a pivotal figure in the city.
Just as he was saying this to Zhao Yun, he looked at a side hall not far away, and a fat monk in a dark yellow monk's robe came out, the monk looked like he was in his fifties, but his body was extremely strong, if he wasn't too fat, he would be like a warrior monk in Shaolin Temple.
When the fat monk saw Zhao Yun from afar, he greeted him with a smile, "Amitabha, Zhao Jushi, you are here." Huhu ......, "That's good, I haven't walked a few steps, and the fat monk is tired and panting."
This smile is like Maitreya Buddha, and the flesh on his face is pouting.
The old monk must have eaten meat secretly! Su Ming thought to himself.
"Great Monk Huineng, you are getting fatter and fatter now." (To be continued.) )
