Chapter 27: On the Buddha
In the main hall of Linyin Temple, Bai Qianren is working hard to promote the teachings and beliefs of the Tuluo God he believes in, and tells the most attractive stories and some story meanings in the holy scriptures to everyone present, so that these tourists, pilgrims and Buddhists who originally came to join in the fun began to have a certain understanding of the Tuluo God.
It is undoubtedly the most attractive for a god to spread his faith, to spread his own teachings, to erect himself as a glorious image of righteousness, and it is also crucial for a god to have any benefit to a believer. Every believer hopes that he or she can benefit from the gods he believes in, and that the priesthood of the gods he believes in can be in line with him.
Therefore, a priesthood who adapts to the public can often obtain more power of faith, so as to quickly improve their level.
The gods who master the fate, which attracts is quite powerful, in everyone's eyes fate is incomprehensible, the most mysterious thing, a person's fortune belongs to fate, for mortals they have no way to resist fate, and a god who masters fate This is a strong attraction for everyone, believe in this god, you can live a haode life. Although it may not be realized, there is hope in such a competitive society.
Bai Qianren saw that everyone was fascinated by what he heard, and his eyes were full of joy. This speed was indeed faster than he imagined, and he even thought that if he went to every temple in Wudong City and destroyed their Buddha statues, and then promoted the teachings and beliefs of the god Tuluo that he believed in, he would be able to rename the entire temple in Wudong City as a temple.
Of course, he can only think about this, because this method is really unrealistic, every temple has been in business for hundreds or thousands of years, and that one has no background. In hundreds of thousands of years, as long as it is not too unlucky, a sow can become a tree.
Bai Qianren saw that the time was ripe, so he stopped and asked the abbot of Lin Yin Temple: "Abbot as I said, I am only here to promote faith, if the abbot can tell me what the Buddha fell to the ground, and the answer can satisfy me, I will leave." ”
Bai Qianren's move was undoubtedly recognized and favored by everyone present, as a believer of other churches to promote Buddhism and faith, this is undoubtedly a job grab, but this society is like this, the law of the jungle can never disappear, so there is nothing wrong with coming to Lin Yin Temple to snatch faith.
And now the pastor is also politely asking the abbot of Lin Yin Temple what is the so-called Buddha falling to the ground? This is a very good action in the eyes of everyone, even if you control the home field, it is not as arrogant and unreasonable as the bandits.
And because Bai Qianren had already questioned it once just now, coupled with the mysterious collapse of the Buddha statue, all this shows one thing, that is, there are too many things in this world that they don't know, just like no one in the Z country has been able to deny the existence of God for more than 5,000 years, and even now, there are still many people who believe in gods and Buddhas.
The host of Lin Yin Temple subconsciously replied: "The ontology of the Buddha is wisdom, the role is enlightenment, and the ontology is wisdom, and there are three kinds of wisdom, the first is 'all wisdom', understanding the origin of the universe." The second is ......"
Bai Qianren pursed his lips, "Abbot, what I asked is not this, but another person who can perceive and realize this truth according to what you said is a Buddha, so do you want to believe?" ”
"This?" The host of Lin Yin Temple hesitated, and secretly said in his heart that the other party was not easy to deal with, although his understanding of Buddhism was profound, he did not study too much about the so-called beliefs, because Buddhism in country Z is like this, although he also believes in Buddha, but it is more about how to pursue Buddha.
"Donor, we pray for the blessing of the Buddha, experience the meaning of the Buddha under the light of the Buddha, and thus become a Buddha!" The presiding officer of Lin Yin Temple bowed to Bai Qianren with one hand and shouted the Buddha's name, and then glanced at the mark at Bai Qianren's feet, which was the mark left by the perennial Buddha statue on the ground.
The host felt bitter in his heart, that Buddha statue was a gilded Buddha statue that he had spent hundreds of years of wealth accumulated in Lin Yin Temple, and now it disappeared inexplicably, although he suspected that it was the ghost of the priest in front of him, he knew that there were many strange people on this shijie, and before the Qing Dynasty, Lin Yin Temple also had a monk with strange abilities, and it was with that monk Lin Yin Temple that he was able to be in Wudong City.
Although he wasn't sure if the other party had that kind of liliang, he was sure that he couldn't get rid of the other party.
Bai Qianren sneered, snapped and closed the open holy book in his hand, and then daxiao.
"Abbot, let me ask you, if the Buddha you believe in really exists, and you often say that the Buddha is omnipotent and compassionate in the universe, then so many people have died throughout the ages and there is no Buddha to save them? Could it be that your so-called Buddha's temples in the mortal world only collect money and do nothing? ”
The abbot was at a loss for what to do with this question.
There is no problem with this question, not only Buddha, but almost all Taoism in country Z throughout the ages, Buddhism in YD or Rome and Islam in the West, have not appeared to save the world, and most of the so-called miracles are shown by people with special abilities, not real gods.
The tourists and pilgrims in the main hall were frightened by these words, and the audience was in an uproar and expressed their approval.
"That's right! These Buddhist temples have received so many donations, and there are no Buddha apparitions! ”
"That's right! If you don't say it, we all ignore this problem, these temples only take money to build the main hall, and so many poor people outside can't even afford to eat, this is simply ridiculous! ”
This question immediately aroused everyone's anger, although most of the people here did not donate much money at a time, but there are dozens of times in a year, and each time they have to donate a different amount of money, this sum of money can be huge.
There are only a few people with identity in the main hall, most of them are ordinary people, and they often pray for the blessing of the Buddha, and now after saying this, they instantly woke up, and their feelings were pitted by this so-called Buddha, and they donated money to raise such a large group of people who only eat and do nothing.
Bai Qianren indifferently looked at the more and more "lively" halls, and now he only needs to add such a fire to be able to point the finger at these temples.
There were not only tourists and pilgrims present, but also because today was the birthday of the abbot of Linyin Temple, many citizens of Wudong City were very watching, so there were also news reporters. That is to say, now the local news channel in Wudong City is broadcasting live, and after the trouble just now, it can be said that the whole Wudong City has set its sights on Lin Yin Temple.
Now you only need to push it yourself, you can push all the Buddhist temples in Wudong City into the abyss, and then the entire Wudong City will be taken down by yourself, and most of the tasks will be completed, and you only need the church to harvest. As for being like Rome, you don't need to look at it, Rome was suppressed by Buddhism in Wudong City to the point that it couldn't die.
The abbot of Lin Yin Temple saw this scene, his heart immediately panicked, of course he understood the power of this, there is no industry in a temple like himself, relying on his own small peasant economy, plus tourists visit, pilgrims' donations can develop step by step, if there is no pilgrims and tourists donate this most important source of money, Lin Yin Temple hundreds of people simply cannot rely on the small peasant economy to survive, sooner or later Lin Yin Temple will be removed from this world like those temples that are buried in history.
But he is the abbot after all, and he has a deep foundation, how can he just let others slaughter him.
"Hui Neng, you let people go and invite those people in the temple out, today is related to the life and death of the temple!" The abbot whispered to Hui Neng in the prison beside him, and now he can only solve this big trouble by asking those few people to come out.
Seeing the look on the abbot's face, the prison couldn't help but tremble, he didn't expect such a seemingly simple matter to be so complicated, just when he saw a Buddha statue somehow collapsed out of thin air and disappeared, but he didn't think much about it, because in his opinion, how could the family of Lin Yin Temple be hit by such a small priest, but now he had to get serious.
Once something happens to Lin Yin Temple, it will be a disaster for him, everything he does is based on Lin Yin Temple, once this layer of identity is missing, the people on the white road will definitely not let him go.
