"When~~~!" With a slight blow from the mallet, it makes a long and long sound, and it seems that the texture of this bowl is really good! Thinking about it, I turned my head and continued to look at the rest of the hall. The high ceilings and surrounding walls are depicted with delicate patterns that seem to have been created by famous artists. The floor is made of long wooden planks, showing a dark red color, indicating that the wood and workmanship are of the highest quality. The most conspicuous thing is the Buddha of Pilushe, who holds the Dharma seal on the lotus throne on the front and closes his eyes and smiles! Not to mention the gold, there are no less than 30 gemstones of various colors on the forehead and bun. I can't imagine it! In poor Kyoto, there are still temples with such luxury.

"Hurry up!" Seeing that I looked around disrespectfully, Xianzhi frowned and pulled me.

"Oh!" I knelt down beside her very unconsciously. In the past few days, Yoshida Sotada has been recuperating after his illness, and we just want to look around if we have nothing to do. Originally, I wanted to go out of the city to see the mountain scenery, but in the end, I followed Xianzhi to the temple to make incense! I didn't have much aversion to Buddhism (although I personally prefer Taoism!). But the Japanese monasteries are involved in secular disputes, not only marrying wives and having children, but also building cities and recruiting soldiers, as if they are local princes, how can there be a little bit of monks! There is an old Chinese saying: "There are many famous mountain monks in the world." When you arrive in Japan, it will be changed to "There are many monks in the world!" "That's it. But Xianzhi is very religious! I had no choice but to follow her. Today we are back at the famous Tofukuji Temple in Kyoto.

A few random salutes (I kowtowed, but it didn't touch the ground!) I stood up. Xianzhi solemnly recited it silently for a long time, and kowtowed respectfully three times. I think it's ridiculous, but it's not the right time to talk to her about materialism. "Forget it! The Party Central Committee also talks about freedom of religious belief...... "I was thinking nonsense. Finally Xianzhi stood up and set his eyes on me.

"What should come is always coming!" I gritted my teeth and took out 20 copper coins and handed them to the monk next to me. Seeing Xianzhi's relieved smiling face, I think it's worth the money!

"Amitabha! Thank you, donor. "The monks salute together." The host of the temple wants to meet the donor, don't you know the convenience? ”

"Then lead the way!" I guess being idle is idle anyway.

In the back meditation room, we met an old monk with a fat head and big ears. "The old man is called the mountain day, it's really presumptuous!" He introduced himself.

"Oh! It's been a long time. "My heart struck. He can be regarded as a famous figure in the Warring States culture, but I don't know what this extremely stubborn, conservative, **** religious maniac and fundamentalist is looking for me for?

"I heard from my disciple that the donor is from Owari, but I wonder what the situation in the East China Sea is now? Please let me know. His tone was gentle and polite.

"The master is so polite! Now ......" I thought as I spoke, "It turns out that he wants to know this, no wonder he asked for information about the daimyo in "The Legend of Taiko Ambition" and went to the temple!" It seems that the political influence of Japan's religious forces did not come out of thin air! ”

I listened very carefully to what I said about the morning mountain sunset, and asked a few questions from time to time. At the end he said to me, "I don't know what you think of what your lord and Lord Mikawa have done! ”

"Is this?" I thought for a moment and said, "Are you referring to the confiscation of the Sanmen Domain (monastic territory) and the deposition of the Confiscation of Yamamon Territory (Monastery Territory)?" Foolishness...... This is a great thing that has set a precedent for a hundred years and benefited the country and the people! And it's also a great thing for Buddhism! "I know what he thinks, but there's no need to compliment him.

"Why do you say that?" Asayama Hisakari obviously didn't expect me to be so direct.

I pretended not to see Xianzhi's eyes on my envoy and said, "Isn't it beneficial to the country to make the world stable as soon as possible?" Isn't lightening the burden of the people beneficial to the people? Isn't it a great blessing for Buddhism to get rid of those scum who use the name of the Buddha to fulfill their own selfish desires? ”

"Your Excellency is not exempt...... It's a mistake to be arbitrary! Asama Hitomori was choked by me and rolled his eyes for a while.

"Arbitrary? I don't think so. "I put on a smiling face that was so angry that I couldn't pay for my life." Isn't Master Yixiu's life of poverty also helping the world? Or have you seen Honganji Temple and Tsutsui Shunkei do any good things for Buddhism and the people? ”

"Then you can't blame Buddhism just because there are one or two black sheep, right?"

"Master, have you heard such a story?" I told him a story I saw from the manga Najizhong. "Someone took a Buddhist scripture and asked the sixth patriarch Huineng, and Huineng said, 'I can't read, you tell me what is written on it.'" The man wondered, 'If you can't read, how do you know the teachings above?' Hui Neng replied: 'I point to the moon, but my hand is not the moon.' Words and Buddhism are fundamentally two different things! 'Master, don't you think that letting the monks run the government is asking for words instead of Buddhism? ”

"Maybe!" Half an hour later, he said to the mountain day. "Then what do you think of the foreign religion?"

"If I had to decide......," I said after a deliberate pause, "I would let them preach, but they would not be allowed to own the land or interfere with the regime!" ”

"What did you say!" The mountain day ride was shocked. "You're going to allow those demons ......"

"Master, what do you think?" I saw that he was on the verge of a stroke and hurriedly stopped him.

"Then what else is there to say!" Asahyama Hinayana said as a matter of course: "Naturally, I will kill those evil demons and foreign paths, how can I let them defile my Pure Land?" ”

"Master, do you really think so?" I asked, surprised.

"Of course! What's so strange about that? He asked me rhetorically.

I said with a "solemn" face: "Master! I can't imagine that your cultivation is so profound, you can really be described as a living Buddha in the world! ”

"Star donor, why do you say that?" My words made him even more confused.

"O Master! Back then, King Jizo Bodhisattva once said, 'Hell is not empty, and you will not ascend to heaven!' '......," I said solemnly, "and he has not been able to do so so far." Master, you will destroy hell with one word! Hell is gone, and the souls, ghosts, bulls and horses in it...... Naturally, it's all gone! Is there still a need for crossing? So it seems...... Aren't you much more clever than the Jizo King Bodhisattva? What a Amitabha, good! Wonderful! "At this point, I put my hands together and made a Buddha salute.

"You!" Asagiyama stared at me angrily.

I still have a hippie smile on my face.

After a moment of silence, Asayama Hitomi slowly stretched his brows. "Hah! Ha! Ha! ......" He burst out laughing, leaning back and forth, laughing until tears flowed from his eyes. "The donor is so interesting! Aren't all the samurai of the Oda family like this? ”

"Mr. Kamisuke's opinion is similar to that of the contemptible, but ...... "I thought about it for a while and decided to tell the truth." His method of reasoning is with a knife! ”

"Adults have lofty vision, and the future must be limitless!" Hearing this, Asamayama became serious. "I hope that Lord Zhuxing, you will do your best to return to the Buddha Gate in the future!"

"Of course!" I replied without thinking. "Not only for Buddhist disciples, I don't want anyone to die senselessly!" There is another sentence that I haven't said, and that is that the premise is that I must first protect Xianzhi and myself.

"That's the luck of the world and the luck of Buddhism!" Asama Hitomo nodded with satisfaction.

In short, the meeting was conducted in a warm and friendly atmosphere in line with the principle of seeking common ground while reserving differences......
