Chapter 162: Buddhism and Taoism
After many changes, the Buddhism that originally flourished in Hexi has now withered a lot. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Except for a few eminent monks and masters such as Kumarosh who still stayed in Hexi, many other eminent monks have already gone to Guanzhong.
Kumarosh chose to stay, in addition to being too old and reluctant to run around, he also wanted to see how Wei Shuo dealt with Buddhism.
Fortunately, although Hexi advocated restricting the Buddha, he would not really destroy the Buddha, which made him feel a little relieved.
Later, Wei Shuo offered to cooperate with Buddhism, asking Buddhism to come forward to appease some Hu leaders and nobles.
This once made Kumarosh see the hope of the revival of Buddhism, but who knew that everything that had happened recently made Buddhism suffer a blow to the head.
Cheng Gongxing and Kou Qian's master and apprentice are not secrets in Hexi, and after a little inquiry, Buddhism will know a lot.
Now the whole Buddhism is gone, thinking that most of the protection is too eccentric, and can't let the Buddhists do all the dirty work and tiring work, but in the end let the Taoists pick the fruit.
With Kumarosh's prestige, he could not suppress the fierce opposition from within, so he had no choice but to come forward and ask to see Wei Shuo.
Wei Shuo had anticipated Kumarosh's visit, and he had also thought of a countermeasure.
"The poor monk visits Dadu Hu."
"Excuse me, speaking of which, I have to thank the master, if it weren't for your proper training, I'm afraid Liu Bobo wouldn't be so honest."
Listening to Wei Shuo's words, Kumarosh couldn't help but secretly discuss to himself: "Since you also understand that Buddhism has paid a lot, why did you only let Taoism go to Shuofang to preach in the end, but only allowed Buddhism to go east." ”
However, he didn't dare to say this in front of Wei Shuo, so he could only say euphemistically: "I heard that most of the protectors of the capital are interested in sending Taoist people to Shuofang to preach, I don't know if I can also let the Buddha go there?" ”
"Alas, the master is not waiting to see the Buddha, you really disappointed me too much."
"Huh? Why did Dadu Hu say this? ”
"Does the master know why Shuo supports Taoism to go to Shuofang to preach?"
"I don't know, I'd like to hear about it."
"That's because Daoist Cheng Gongxing has fully accepted Shuo's proposal and decided to transform Taoism according to Shuo's intentions. On the contrary, you waited for the Buddhism to refuse my kindness several times, and now you still have the face to propose to go to Shuofang?! ”
"Let you go to Shuofang? Hmph, in a few years, the people of Shuofang will become as docile and bloodless as the people of the Western Regions. ”
"Unless you Buddhism is also willing to accept reform, it is destined to become a partial branch, not the mainstream."
Wei Shuo's words, listening to Kumarosh's ears, were like five thunderbolts, and the whole person was blown up.
"It turned out that most of the poor monks were allowed to absorb Liu Bobo, Fuqu Qu Congee, Fuqu Nancheng and other Hu generals and leaders as believers, in order to dissipate everyone's minds."
"The poor monk is still ...... Also to...... I thought that most of them wanted to reuse Buddhism. ”
Reuse the Buddha Gate? Hey, unless Wei Shuo's brain is funny, Buddhism will definitely be suppressed.
Kumarosh asked unwillingly, "Could it be that there is no other way out for the Buddha?" ”
Seeing that the time was almost up, Wei Shuo smiled and said: "You can't say that, if the Buddhism is ruthless and reforms the teachings according to the intention of the next one, Shuo Zi should be willing to be the protector of the Buddhism." ”
"Unless it's just a small repair, it's hard for a poor monk to convince others."
"I am afraid that Buddhism will never come out in Hexi, unless one day Hexi is defeated, and there happens to be a strong rise of forces supporting Buddhism, Buddhism will flourish again."
"This, this...... Alas. Kumarosh was silent.
"However, for the sake of the master's hard work for Hexi, Shuo is willing to point out another famous path for Buddhism."
Master Kumarosh, who was already desperate, suddenly became excited when he heard this, and asked questions again and again.
"Don't be in a hurry, and listen to Shuo slowly."
"In fact, the world is very big, not to mention the West, just the East has hundreds of forces. Even if Hexi unified China in the future, it would be impossible to incorporate them into the Chinese system one by one. ”
"For example, Tuyuhun is close at hand, and Rouran and Ele are far away in Mobei, even if Hexi dominates the world, these subsidiary forces will still exist alone."
"Since there is no room for the development of Buddhism in Hexi, why don't you set your sights on other forces such as Tuyuhun and Rouran?"
That's right! Wei Shuo fought the idea of letting Buddhism harm others, and in his religious layout, the improved Taoism would mainly spread in China, with the weak Buddhism during the period, so as to constitute the Chinese religious pattern.
As for Buddhism, which has always had the effect of dissipating the mind, he was sent far away to the snowy plateau and the Mobei grassland, so that the Buddhist masters could play their tricks and deceive people, and all the minds of Hu Lu were consumed.
Interspersed with economic, political and other means, Wei Shuo is confident that he will completely eradicate the plague that has been a disaster for hundreds of years.
After all, this is a very effective tool that has been proven by history.
After listening to Wei Shuo's suggestion, Kumarosh couldn't help but be disappointed.
He thought that the Dadu Protector would have some good ideas, but he didn't expect that it would just be to 'exile' Buddhism outside the territory.
In this way, what is the significance of Buddhism spreading Buddhism to the East for hundreds of years?
But if you don't agree to the proposal of the Metropolitan Protector, Buddhism will not get its support.
Even if Hexi does not destroy the Buddha, what future will Buddhism have in the future?
What to do? Kumarosh was undecided.
At this time, he had some admiration for Cheng Gongxing, and those who dared to take this step were either madmen or geniuses.
If he succeeds, Cheng Gongxing is likely to make a name for himself in history with Wei Shuo and become the greatest reformer of Daomen.
Once it fails, Cheng Gongxing will definitely be doomed.
Those who do not have great perseverance and courage do not dare to take this step.
"This matter is very important, and the poor monk needs to think about it."
"It's okay, the master just thinks about it."
However, Shuo would like to remind him that the Enlightenment Master is about to complete the reform and will be going to Shuofang to preach next month. If Buddhism can't come up with effective countermeasures for a long time, I'm afraid the future will be worrying. ”
……
Different from the gloomy clouds on the Buddhist side, Chenggongxing master and apprentice can be described as a spring breeze.
With the support of Wei Shuo, in just a few months, with the solid theoretical knowledge of the two people, the rectification of Taoism was completed.
In order to adapt to the historical trend, the two carried out a relatively thorough reform of the Taoism of the Heavenly Master, enriched, developed and perfected the ideological system and the ritual of Zhaijiao of Taoism, so that Taoism got rid of the crude and shallow style of primitive religion
Since then, Taoism and Hexi have cooperated with each other, and eventually became the largest religion in the world, and Cheng Gongxing's master and apprentice have also become a generation of grandmasters.
On this day, Wei Shuo was discussing things with Song Xuan, Zhang Zhan and others, especially when the wedding date was approaching, and many miscellaneous matters needed to be dealt with, when he suddenly saw Cheng Gongxing's master and apprentice coming in with a stack of papers.
Wei Shuo's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stopped the discussion, looked at Cheng Gongxing and asked, "Sorted out?" ”
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my mission, and the poor Dao and the apprentice were humble, and it took several months to finally sort out the Taoist theory, and today I specially brought it to ask the capital to take a look."
Regarding the matter of the Reformation, Wei Shuo had privately discussed in detail with Song Xuan, Cui Hao, Zhang Zhan and other confidants, so others were not surprised to see this scene.
Regarding the use of Taoism to naturalize Hulu, although Song Xuan, Cui Hao and others did not agree very much, because they could not come up with other effective methods, they had to agree with Wei Shuo to take Shuo Fang a try.
Anyway, the unification of the world cannot be completed overnight, and there are so many Hulu in the world!
Therefore, taking Shuofang as an experiment, everyone can afford to wait.
"Most of the protectors, please see, this is the theory of the Heavenly Master Dao after the reorganization of the Poor Dao, in order to distinguish it from the Southern Heavenly Master Dao, the Poor Dao named it the New Heavenly Master Dao."
Wei Shuo took it and opened it, only to see that it was written: "...... When the chaos was not opened, the Yuan Shi Tianzun opened the world with supreme mana, and incarnated into all things in the world in the flesh, and then the Great Tianzun Yuan Shen returned to the universe and lived in the ...... of chaos."
The New Heavenly Master Tao leads the way of exhorting people to be kind, preaching that good people have good rewards, and encouraging people in the world to live with a positive attitude, praising all those who change their lives through labor.
In addition, the new Heavenly Master Dao abandoned the previous Taoist tradition of worshipping multiple gods, and stipulated that Yuan Shi Tianzun was the sole main god of believers.
Of course, this point was raised by Wei Shuo, because history has proven that there is no way out of the polytheistic system, and only God alone is the truth.
"Well, yes, that's great!" Wei Shuo looked at the side, and was very satisfied with what Cheng Gongxing's master and apprentice had sorted out.
"I think we can start to promote Protestantism, and try it out in Hexi and Shuofang first, what do you think?"
Of course, Cheng Gongxing would not have an opinion, but the implementation of Protestantism was by no means inseparable from the support of the government, so he set his sights on Song Xuan.
