Section 228 Response, Medium

The famous ancient temple is located in Hakukoma-ji Temple.

The officers and soldiers came suddenly, and as soon as they arrived, they immediately surrounded the temple.

When the welcoming monk in the temple saw so many officers and soldiers appearing violently and suddenly, he was shocked but not really afraid.

This is a thousand-year-old temple, talking about history than Tokyo Daxiangguo Temple is not much more let, the world is famous, in the eyes of the royal also has a lot of weight. Several elders and monks in the temple are highly respected, famous all over the world, and have close contacts with many dignitaries and nobles in the imperial court, and the local officials and officials who are good friends in the temple are more...... Only the manpower and force of this temple are not weak, and it is located in a stable area not too far from the capital, and there is no large number of bandits and robbers nearby.

Although the brutal officers and soldiers are terrible, they are lowly and lowly Qiu Ba, and they are reprimanded and restrained by the noble scholars, doctors, officials, and masters, and no matter how fierce they behave, it is nothing to look at them badly.

Are the officers and soldiers scared of the monks of my temple?

Putting on a vicious bluffing posture is trying to scare the temple so that he can extort some benefits from our temple under the pretext of being on a business trip?

Greedy and stupid ruffian!

Ignorant!

Amusing!

In the summer national disaster, the good men and women who worked hard for the tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land in the temple were gone, and they were willing to believe that the extremely evil, murderous and domineering pirate country was a fair, free and happy heaven on earth that was more full of infinite hope for a better future than the beautiful country described in the Buddhist scriptures. I don't feel at all that the temple has the mercy and kindness of letting them have land to grow and eat, free of taxes and even life-threatening labor, it is really a group of wolves and beasts, betraying Buddhism and offending the Buddha, and the sins are so heavy that they will go to hell and suffer forever.

It's just that, without the support and availability of these loyal and easy-to-use believers, the inferior monks who work in this temple have defected too much, and the population loss of the Great Song Dynasty in the national disaster is extremely serious, and now the labor is extremely scarce, and the fields of the temple are untended after the disaster, and the crops planted can only be left to grow in the barren wilderness, and the autumn harvest of this year is also a huge deficit, and it is even more worrying that the autumn harvest will come in a blink of an eye but no one can harvest it for the Mid-Autumn Festival in the temple, and there is food in the ground but can not be harvested back. Although the elders are actively colluding and negotiating with the government and some landlords, gentry and good believers, and the government and these good believers will come forward to initiate, there will be farmers who will honestly contribute to the temple, but they are afraid that there will be a lot of manpower, too many fields to be busy, and the monks below the elders of the temple will also have to join the hard work and accept the great sin.

Also, after the national disaster, the pompers who used to come to pray for incense and prayer like madmen at every turn are gone, for so long, there are almost only a handful of pilgrims, and there is no one who is willing to donate a lot of money, and there is no one who has money to hang out and spend.

Although this is a temporary desolate situation after the catastrophe has not stopped, and people have not had the heart to come to the temple for a while, I believe that after the situation is stabilized, everything will be fine, and the large high-rollers who are pious and enthusiastic donating will have, and the leisurely and sacred and decent fairy days can still be lived, but the current life of the temple is not very easy, and it is a fact that there are many troubles.

The welcoming monk thought about these bad things piled up in his heart, he was extremely unhappy, but he had nowhere to vent for a long time, and at this time, he saw that the lowly Qiu Ba also dared to come here to make trouble, and suddenly his heart was on fire, and he immediately raised his palm, and Amitabha Buddha stepped forward without fear, and went to block the way to ask about the intention.

On his face was the awe and trepidation of the leading general, but in his eyes was actually arrogance, contempt and ridicule, and the high posture of compassion and compassion that monks are accustomed to showing to all sentient beings.

The leading general has already obtained the secret plan of Lord Zhizhou, and he is not lacking in heart and eye, and he is very shrewd, otherwise he would not be the commander of the army.

He did not reveal the real malice here, but falsely claimed that he was ordered by the Holy Father to urgently pursue the felons of the imperial court who were personally ordered by the emperor, and found out that this criminal was hiding here, and wanted to enter the temple to search and arrest him.

"A court recidivist? Or the emperor himself? Are you still hiding this temple? ”

When he came back to his senses, he habitually put up the shelves of the famous ancient temples and the powerful officialdom network of the monks, scaring people to take advantage of the master's knowledge, knowing that he was powerful, and he wanted to be holy and mighty, and shouted sternly to stop the officers and soldiers from trespassing into the temple without authorization.

The officers and soldiers of the brigade and the bandits were already rushing into it with their swords, spears, crossbows, and bows.

"You, you...... How dare you offend the Buddha and the gods by desecrating the holy land of Buddhism in such a way? ”

"My family elder is the best friend of the local noble Nanping County King and the eldest princess of Hede, and there are many noble friends in Beijing, including the royal family, and the local governor, Tongju and other adults are also in this temple...... How dare you Qiu Ba come here without permission? You will not be afraid...... The poor monk advises you...... Get into a jam. ”

The welcoming monk was furious and still did not know how to be afraid, and he still pointed at several generals with a high posture and scolded and blamed loudly, but he didn't want to be slapped in the face by a pro-soldier with a cruel smile, and the round half of the white face that enjoyed the happiness of being like a noble lady with fine skin and tender flesh suddenly had a clear slap print, and it was purple and swollen in a blink of an eye.

The welcoming monks of the famous temple are like the generals of the palace gates, and there are a lot of convenient fat differences, and there is more divine brilliance than the guards of the palace.

Ever since he became the head of the monk and did this errand, he had never encountered anyone who dared to treat him rudely and unreasonably, let alone beat him.

The people who come here, whether they are pilgrims or passers-by, whether they are fierce and arrogant and noble, are not polite and respectful, but at least gentle, polite and respectful.

"You, you dare to beat me, a pious son of a Buddha like me?"

"Aren't you afraid that the Buddha will offend your whole clan?"

The welcoming monk's eyes were full of disbelief, covering his hot and painful face and shouting and cursing and threatening, but the pro-soldier glared at him and slapped his backhand again, this time the blow was even harder and heavier, and the welcoming monk fell to the ground, and the other half of his face instantly rose purple and was even more painful.

In the welcoming monk hissing and staring at him with frightened anger and hatred of cannibalism, the beating soldier looked at his ugly face that was swollen into a pig's head, and sneered and scolded: "How can our general be a shameless monk who eats white food but has no country and nationality in his eyes, and even ignores the rise and fall of the Great Song Dynasty, and can wantonly point and threaten and scold?" ”

His scolding did not make the welcoming monks really afraid, nor did he wake up the welcoming monks' shameful introspection for today's Buddhism who only cares about the interests of their own religion and ignores the honor and disgrace of the country and the nation.

All beings are equal. Man and animal life can still be equated, not to mention the necessary differences between nations and nation-states. Foreign countries and aliens can also be the followers of the Buddha, how can the children of Buddhism be hostile to them? What do worldly disputes have to do with monks who have stepped out of the world? Buddhism also wants to spread its religion to other countries and races, and if it is confined to the interests of its own country, hostile to hostile foreign countries, or even helping the country and its own people to do cruel things, if this is spread to a distant place to make those people vigilant, how can they glorify this religion?

At the beginning, Patriarch Bodhidharma did not treat Chinese as foreign people differently when he came to China, but still devoted himself to teaching Buddhism and practicing compassion. How can the younger disciples of Buddhism be narrow-minded? You vulgar and ignorant lowly people who only know how to murder and murder, how do you know that my Buddha is compassionate and broad-minded to all sentient beings......

This is the psychology of the welcoming monk at this time.

The monks of this era were not monks whose ideas had changed with the times when the Japanese invaded China, and there were some monks who had positive changes in the concept of the country and the ethnic group, and it was rare for them to attach importance to safeguarding the interests of their own country. The overall concept of Buddhism is that feng shui takes turns, and rivers and mountains take turns to sit. The changes of dynasties are too common and frequent, but Buddhism is an eternal existence, and it is normal for foreign races to occupy China and rule the Han people, which has happened many times in history, and there is nothing unacceptable. Whoever becomes the ruler is the same, as long as he respects Buddhism and allows the monks to have a good life, it is very similar to whoever becomes the emperor, as long as I can still be an official and enjoy the glory and wealth of the "scholars of my generation".

Under this ideology and the extreme resentment at the moment, the welcoming monk naturally still stared at the pro-soldier with extreme hatred.

It's just that he doesn't have the ability, and I'm really afraid that this person will be completely angered and lose his mind, regardless of cutting him first, otherwise he will pounce on him and take revenge on this cheap martial artist.

"Tsk, what kind of eyes do you have as a little monk? Well? ”

"Aren't you Buddhists paying attention to the emptiness of the four majors, being ruthless and desireless, abstaining from anger and anger, not moving nameless fires, not having grudges, not having fierce thoughts, and not having fierce hearts? Thou art like a demon in the world, and what is thy mercy? What about your generosity towards sentient beings? What about the broad Buddha realm and the forgiving mind you are seeking? ”

In the midst of the resentment of the welcoming monk but was speechless for a while, another soldier mocked: "What kind of compassionate monk, the six roots are not pure, and the mouth is pure to fool people." ”

When encountering such a soldier, the stomach is full of Buddhist reasoning and can't be explained, and the welcoming monk is resentful and helpless, so he can only glared at his own soldiers, and said in his heart that you will be rampant and proud, and you will wait for the poor monk. Angry got up, threw off the monk's robe, turned around and hurried to the temple to inform the elders and tell the grievances and grievances.

The actions of the officers and soldiers have already alarmed the monks in the temple.

After a while, the presiding abbot, accompanied by several elders of the great monks and the leaders of the backbone monks, came to the front yard majestically and stopped the main general who led the team.

"Amitabha. The pure place of Buddhism is not stained with dust and filth. Why did the general come here to harass my temple practice? ”

The tone is gentle, but the attitude is very tough, and the confidence is very strong.

There are high-ranking officials and nobles and officials in this temple, not to mention ordinary grass people, even officers and soldiers have to be honest.

The lord still concealed his true intentions, but explained majestically and gently: "This place is not too far from the capital, and the elders must have heard some rumors of the Great Xiangguo Temple. There are traitors and evil monks of Daxiangguo Temple who took advantage of the chaos to flee the capital, and it is said that they fled here to hide and avoid trouble. Ben was ordered to rush to hunt down, and if he was offended, he asked the elders to forgive him. “

"But please be clear, elders. Our army is here, it is imperative, and not being able to catch the fugitive is a felony of bullying the king, and the general and his brothers cannot afford to bear it. If you are not careful, the general's head may not be saved. The elder is a wise and sensible monk, and it is best to cooperate with the actions of my army. Otherwise......"

On that day, the monks of Daxiangguo Temple committed murder and made such a big disturbance, which can be called shocking. The presiding officer and the elders had vaguely heard about it and knew its seriousness, but they thought it was the business of the Great Xiangguo Temple itself, and it had nothing to do with other temples, including this temple, but now when they heard the officers and soldiers say this, they couldn't help but feel sad.

Is this the emperor's anger and wanting to engage in retribution?

Or is the imperial court frightened by the incident of the Great Xiangguo Temple, and is jealous, and wants to clean up and rectify the Buddhism to reduce the occurrence of dangerous things like the Great Xiangguo Temple?

......

The incident was in a hurry, and I couldn't judge it for a while.

But under the siege of the army, the temple does not really want to create a rebellion against the imperial court, and the hard work will definitely not be able to do the officers and soldiers equipped with a lot of bows and crossbows, which will only make the temple implement the crime of rebellion and complete destruction, the monks present are afraid that one will not want to live, and the abbot will take the lead and cooperate honestly after weighing it. Hearing the news, hundreds of warrior monks and hundreds of monks who were strong enough to fight twice in this temple had no choice but to restrain their fierce appearances, put down their swords and sticks, and were arrested and guarded by officers and soldiers for identification.

This one was coaxed and tied up, and it was over.

The monks of this monastery were quickly captured, but not all.

There are the senior monks and backbone monks who put down the butcher's knife and are hidden in the Buddhist sect know that they are guilty of a deep sin, and they are afraid of being found out of the truth, and they are vigilant when they hear that the officers and soldiers came to arrest the murderer, and they did not show up with the other elders.

Their killing and escape proved the reason why the officers and soldiers came here. The abbot and others secretly complained, regretting that they should not have taken in those powerful evils in the first place. Those people are too composed, otherwise how can they be so easily recognized? Without any concentration, it was really in vain to recite so many scriptures and practice the Buddha for so long, harming the monks of the temple.

The rest of the monks in the monastery were naturally all arrested and imprisoned on the charge of harboring.

This similar method of destroying Buddhas is staged all over the country.

It is as easy as playing this kind of thing for the governors who are full of power and scheming.

Buddhist elders do not lack wisdom and scheming, but they are not the opponents of bureaucrats when the information is asymmetrical and the situation is more passive.

At this moment when ability and loyalty are tested, and must be proved and shown to the emperor, the scholars and doctors in various places refuse to reveal that they are incompetent and inferior to their peers in terms of wisdom and ability, and they have fallen behind at a critical time, which has affected the future, and they dare not suppress the temple and fall into the serious crime of fornicating with the monks and are full of bad luck.
