Li Zhonghua grew up in New China, grew up under the red flag, and can treat Buddhism or Taoism rationally, and will not blindly believe in it.

Buddhism's original intention of guiding people to be good is good, but it is inevitable that some monks will recite the scriptures crookedly.

The same is true for the Daomen, the crooked door ramp, and the left side door are also undesirable.

There is nothing wrong with Buddhism and Taoism, what is wrong is that it was used by people with intentions.

Buddhism, as a foreign sect, was at a disadvantage from the beginning and was not valued by the local sect.

However, the speed of Buddhism's development was too fast, so that the local sect Daomen felt a crisis, and began to be blocked by the local sect Daomen.

The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism began in the Han Dynasty, although the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is a religious conflict, but the rise and fall of the two are not separated from the emperor's love and hatred, and the result is that the powerful one is easier to win, and the loser will suffer the doom of destruction.

The dispute between Taoism and Buddhism was first seen in the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Gaze Moten argued with the Taoist priests. During the Three Kingdoms era, Cao Zhi made a 'dialectical theory' to criticize the deceitfulness of the gods. During the Western Jin Dynasty, there was also a dispute between Bo Yuan and Taoist priest Wang Fu, and Wang Fu was made 'Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing', which was an important material for later generations.

However, the controversy became fierce after the Northern and Southern Dynasties, when Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Kou Qianzhi opened up the Tao of the New Heavenly Master, and made it a state religion, and established a religious order of Taoism.

The introduction of Buddhism into Middle-earth, the defenders of traditional culture are the focus of debate, the first point, Lao Jun saw the form of Middle-earth, and taught the West. The Tao is born of the Buddha, the Tao is the Buddha, the Buddha is the trace, and the Tao is small.

The second point is that the Huayi region is different, and it proves that the east is the wood in the Laozi order, which belongs to the yang and is the place of the "Tao"; The West is gold, yin, and is born of the "Buddha". Yang respects yin and inferiority, so Taoism is superior to Buddhism.

The third point is that Buddhism comes from India, which is the religion of Yidi, and the culture of the Yidihu people is low and inferior to that of China, so they should not be believed.

The fourth point is that between the Chinese and the Yi, the races are different, and the hearts of those who are not of our race will be different, and the Yi people have believed in Buddhism, and the Chinese should not believe in it.

Fifth, the influx of Buddhism into Middle-earth has led to the decline and chaos of the country, so it should not be believed.

Since the beginning of Taoism, Buddhism came to the east, and there were many places to use each other in the early days, because the two marked the same purpose.

At the beginning of the introduction of Buddhism, the translation of Tianzhu into Chinese characters, the Taoist literal meaning was used, and later Taoism also used Buddhist teachings.

However, Taoism clashed with the import of Buddhism to Middle-earth because of the increasing number of believers. The dispute between Taoism and Buddhism lasted from the Han, Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang dynasties, and there was a tendency to become more and more intense.

The Sui Dynasty unified the north and the south, and the Tang Zuo Dynasty prospered, with the surname Li of Laozi and the Tang Dynasty, giving special courtesy to Taoism.

Li Shimin even made it clear that Taoism was above Buddhism, and the Tao was set before the Buddha, which became the consistent policy of the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan, and Taoism has flourished.

In the fourth year of Wude, Taoist priest Fu Yi played the eleven articles of Shatai monks and nuns, Fa Lin of Jifa Temple wrote "Breaking the Evil Theory" on the vanity of Taoism, and Li Zhongqing wrote "Ten Differences and Nine Mystery Theory" on Taoism, and Liu Jinxi wrote "The Theory of Manifestation", criticizing Buddhism and fiercely arguing about the priority of Buddhism and Taoism.

In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin personally issued an edict and set the order of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism, and Buddhism was at the bottom.

However, since the eighth year of Zhenguan, Empress Changsun accompanied Li Shimin and became seriously ill during the summer vacation in Jiucheng Palace.

The crown prince asked for amnesty and enlightenment, and Tang Taizong, who was worried about his wife's health, immediately agreed, but was firmly opposed by the eldest grandson empress.

In desperation, Tang Taizong had no choice but to ask the master of Puguang Temple to enter the palace to pray for his wife's blessing, or due to the sincerity of the Son of Heaven, the eldest grandson Empress was ill and recovered.

In the ninth year of Zhenguan, the crown prince Li Chengqian accepted the concubine Su, but the joy was followed by sadness, and then the death of his biological mother, Mrs. Zhao Guotai, and the death of the emperor Li Yuan, dealt another heavy blow to the husband and wife of Empress Changsun and Li Shimin.

The grief of the double mourning period induced the Qi disease that Empress Changsun suffered from in her early years and often flareed up, and the following year, the illness worsened, and the medicine stone was ineffective.

In the early years, Taizong was fortunate to be in Taiyuan, and the eldest grandson queen was sick, and he personally went to Shibi Temple to pay homage to the Zen master, and explained the treasures and treasures, and offered vows for his wife. So Taizong decided to turn to Buddhism again.

In April of the tenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin issued an edict to repair 392 ancient temples of famous places in the world to pray for the queen, and the famous Shanshan Temple, Xiuding Temple is among them.

Li Shimin expects that the well-being of the Buddhist family can bring good luck to Empress Changsun again, and this time it is indeed good luck to Empress Changsun, because of the appearance of Li Zhonghua, Empress Changsun escaped a catastrophe.

After asking the Buddha several times to get his wish, the status of Buddhism was gradually raised by Li Shimin, which once again made Daomen feel the crisis.

The appearance of the stone monkey is written by the emperor's beloved daughter Princess Jinyang, which undoubtedly makes the eyes of the people in the Daomen brighten, and their hearts are invigorated, thinking in their hearts, the royal family is still more optimistic about the Daomen, this stone monkey is not the best proof?

Buddhism is also uncertain, what is the idea of Emperor Li Shimin, all of a sudden he treats the Buddha as a treasure, holds it in the palm of his hand, and suddenly holds the Taoist Gate higher, the emperor's mind is really too difficult to figure out.

Li Shimin soon received a reply from his daughter Princess Jinyang, carefully pondering the mantra of "Buddha is the Tao".

The more I think about it, the more I think these four words are very interesting.

With Princess Jinyang's character of stalking people who do not pay for their lives, Li Zhonghua wanted to simply say, "Buddha is the Tao", the four words "Buddha is the Tao", obviously there is no way to get by.

Therefore, he had to take the trouble to explain to Princess Jinyang what "Buddha is the Tao." ”

Princess Jinyang replied to her father, Emperor Li Shimin, and she would not let Li Shimin bother to think about it, and explained it in the letter with all her annoyance. But those are actually Princess Jinyang, forcing Li Zhonghua to say it, Princess Jinyang just relayed it.

Heaven is impermanent, there is no good and no evil, nothing is right and nothing more, and they are all striving for that vitality. The immortal road is the way, the demon road is the way, the demon road is the way, and the Buddha is the way.

The Tao is the source of everything, so everything is the Tao to the extreme, so only the Tao is the last and only.

Buddhism preaches the path of Bodhi. What the Taoist sect preaches is the way of eternal life, and what officials should cultivate is the way of government.

One preaches the equality of all beings, the cycle of cause and effect, the reward of good and evil, and the crossing of people to good, the other is the infinite avenue, the rule of inaction, and the pursuit of the way of immortality, and the way that officials want to learn is the way for the people.

There is nothing wrong with pursuing the path of immortality, and there is nothing wrong with crossing people to goodness. There is nothing wrong with working for the benefit of the people.

There is a Tao in the Buddha, there is a Buddha in the Tao, and the Buddha is the Tao. Everyone's

The Buddhist scriptures and the Taoist scriptures overlap with each other, borrow from each other, interpret each other, and decide how to choose between them, all according to the preferences of those in power and the needs of politics.

Although Li Shimin and Empress Changsun do not reject Buddhism, Laozi, the patriarch of Taoism, is the ancestor of the Tang royal family, at least Li Shimin thinks so, so Taoism is still the state religion of the Tang Dynasty, ranking before Buddhism, which is an indisputable fact.

After figuring out this truth, Li Shimin's mood also relaxed a lot.

Recently, there have been several eminent monks who have attained Taoism, euphemistically mentioned to him that they were suppressed by the Daomen, and asked whether the stone monkey book written by Princess Jinyang was instructed by His Majesty? Does the imperial court plan to suppress Buddhism again?

The implication is nothing more than that the imperial court arbitrarily interferes in the legitimate competition between Buddhism and Taoism, and favors people in the Taoist sect, which is really unfair and unconvincing to Buddhism.

Li Shimin didn't know how to reply to these monks, but now he can use the words "Buddha is the way" to block the mouth of Buddhism.

Li Shimin is actually very helpless, Buddhism is developing rapidly, although Taoism is regarded as the state religion, but after all, there are only a few people who learn Taoism.

The Taoist scriptures are very profound and obscure, and not everyone can enter the Tao, learn the Tao, and comprehend the road of immortality.

Moreover, there are many sects in Taoism, the concept of the sect is very strong, and the Taoism is secret, even if you are a very talented person, you are not a person in the sect, and you will not be taught the profound Taoism.

The threshold for entering Buddhism is very low, Buddhism purifies all sentient beings, so everyone can join Buddhism, eat fasting and chant Buddha at home, recite scriptures, and accumulate virtue and do good.

Therefore, the speed at which Buddhism developed its followers was very fast, and the Taoism fell into the inferior vehicle.

For Buddhism, Li Shimin could not suppress it excessively, so as not to cause dissatisfaction among Buddhist believers and bring instability to the rule of the imperial court, so while suppressing it, he also carried out necessary pacification.

On the other hand, Buddhism, after two large-scale campaigns to destroy Buddhism, not only has it not been destroyed, but it is getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more believers who believe in Buddhism.

In the treatment of Buddhism, even the imperial court has to be cautious, since it cannot be destroyed, it can only be controlled as much as possible and used to make use of it.
