Volume 5 Tokyo Cold Chapter 425 [Reform Sparse]

This person will give birth to all kinds of diseases when he eats grains, and he will naturally give birth to a thousand thoughts, just like the moon is cloudy and sunny.

Of course, Huang Jie knows the reason why Lin Lingsu hates Buddhism so much, and he wants to put it to death when he has the opportunity, which is far from it, just say that since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, every time the Buddha is destroyed, once Buddhism is revived, there will inevitably be an extinction incident, but the inheritance of Buddhism is loose, and he loves to cultivate the monastery and is widely discipled, and he is not clean and destroyed, but Taoism has always been to choose disciples and accept them, depending on the cause and fate.

Therefore, even if Buddhism encounters the destruction of the Buddha, the Buddha's descendants and grandchildren are like cutting leeks, and it will not take long for another stubble to grow after cutting off a stubble, but once Taoism encounters the destruction of the Tao, the losses suffered are often very huge.

Therefore, whether this Lin Lingsu is to repay personal grievances or for the justice of Taoism, this kind of suppression of Buddhism is also something that Taoists in the world like to see, but such an act really needs to be thought about, it is really a sacrifice to the end, and the result is naturally more than worth the loss.

Regarding Huang Jie's repeated mention of "Please Allow Taoist Reform Shu", when Mr. Natong Medicine presented it to Zhao Guan's house, Lin Lingsu happened to be in power and was setting up Jiao lectures in Shenxiao Yuqing Wanshou Palace, so at that time, he just glanced at Na Shu twice, and then said ridiculous and discarded it.

Now, Lin Lingsu couldn't help but try to recall, but he remembered in a trance that the full text of "Please Allow Taoist Reform" was less than 1,000 words, and it roughly said five reform suggestions: one is to restrict the construction of new Taoist places, survey the existing Taoist temples in various places, and survey the historical sites for more than 200 years, and only allow maintenance and expansion in the future, and change the Taoist colleges, Taoist hospitals, and Futian Courtyard for civil use in less than 200 years; The second is for the government to recover all the blessed fields owned by the Taoist sects in the world (the fields owned by Taoist monasteries and the fields donated by Xinshan, that is, the merit fields); The third is to abolish the Taoism of the Jingshi, Biyong and Taoism, and the cultivation of Taoist priests is also handled by the local Taoist colleges themselves, so as to avoid students from all over the world going astray; The fourth is to lift the ban on religion and allow the people to freely believe in religion; The fifth is to open up the boundaries of the region and subsidize and encourage Taoist priests to migrate to the country to preach.

In Lin Lingsu's opinion at that time, these five were all nonsense!

First of all, no matter the Buddha, the Tao or what crooked ways, has always been to the big temple giant temple Hongzhong gold sculpture for the lifelong goal, especially the Buddhist monks, as long as there is a small success, often the first a grand wish is to walk the world to spread Buddhism, the latter ambition must be to find a beautiful mountain and clear water, within a radius of 50 miles there is no Buddhist temple to build a small temple, after the small temple is completed, and began to plan to expand the hall into ten zhang hall, ten zhang hall became, then think about the big male treasure hall.

When the hall was repaired, and felt that the wood carving Buddha statue in this hall was too small, it was necessary to replace it with a clay sculpture, and then felt that the clay sculpture was ugly and not magnificent, so it was necessary to paint, bronze casting, and gilding...... In this way, generations of soil have accumulated into mountains, sand into towers, and a descendant temple will become a big jungle in many years.

So, isn't it funny to restrict the construction of new Taoist places? Isn't this equivalent to giving away the living space to those monks in vain?

Think about it, how many years has it been since the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Longmen Mountain outside Luoyang City has called these monks all Buddha statues?

And what is this that makes the government take back the blessings of the world's Taoist sects, abolish Taoism, Biyong and Taoism, and even abolish religious membership, allowing the people to believe in religion freely, and what else does it take to open up the territory and encourage Taoist priests to preach in other countries, it is simply a whimsical race, Lin Lingsu of course scoffed.

These so-called reform policies seem to be aimed at the prosperity of Taoism, and the fundamental purpose is to abolish Taoism and allow others to slaughter it.

But...... Since inquiring about what Huang Jie said, this battle for interpretation is really a battle for believers, and the victory or defeat is not to see who has the upper hand for a while, but to see who can win the hearts of the people in the world, Lin Lingsu was shocked.

Yes, now that I think about it, this "three martial arts and one sect" destroyed the Buddha, and there were fewer monks killed at that time? When did you burn fewer scriptures?

But why can't Buddhism be extinguished, it can always be resurrected and reborn, and now it seems that Buddhism has won the hearts of the people!

And to compete with Buddhism for the hearts of the people, just relying on the emperor's holy edict, obviously not enough, this needs to use your brains to come up with a practical way, this is not Huang Jie said, Buddhism's tricks, but to persuade goodness and accumulate wealth, promote goodness and conform to the principles of heaven, accumulate wealth can cope with all kinds of disasters, do these two things well, it is not difficult to capture people's hearts.

Therefore, in retrospect, the five suggestions put forward in "Please Allow Taoist Reform" are really interesting.

For example, this restricts the construction of new Taoist places and the government's recovery of Futian, and if Taoism is self-disciplined by this, then the imperial court will naturally have to level the bowl of water, and Buddhism must also obey it. If it is really to be implemented, then the loss of Buddhism is obviously greater than that of Taoism, an ancient temple that has lasted more than 200 years is designated as a historic site, only allowed to repair and not expanded, less than 200 years must be changed to colleges, hospitals and Futian Temple, this alone does not know how many Buddhist temples will be destroyed.

You must know that the "three martial arts and one sect" of the Later Zhou Shizong destroyed the Buddha only more than 160 years ago, when the Later Zhou Shizong ordered the destruction of Buddhism, prohibiting private monkhood, and abolishing more than 30,000 monasteries without a quota. Now the Buddhist temples in the Great Song Dynasty are slowly rebuilt after the death of Zhou Shizong, if the true Taoist gate is innovated in this way, the Buddhist gate will naturally follow the food hanging, after all, the total number of palaces and temples of the Taoist gate is much less than the temples that bloom everywhere, and nine out of ten are more than hundreds of years old, and Taoism has always been to do not respect the disciples and grandchildren to make any grand wishes to go to the temple.

Lin Lingsu also knows that today's Buddhism is repeating the mistakes of the previous dynasty, opening the door of convenience widely, and accepting the Futian donated by Xinshan, just the Tokyo Daxiangguo Temple, now holding at least 30,000 hectares of Ueda inside and outside Tokyo.

However, Daomen does not like to do such laborious things, because this Futian has to be managed when it is in his hands, and he has to hire people to work, and he has to sow and harvest according to the season, so Daomen does not have many Futian in his hands.

I think that when Tang Wuzong would destroy the Buddha, he only demolished more than 4,600 temples and returned 260,500 lay monks and nuns, so he collected tens of millions of hectares of ointment and farmland, and collected slaves and maids for 150,000 tax households.

As for the other three, Lin Lingsu couldn't figure out for a while what was the beauty of abolishing Taoism, lifting the ban on teaching, and encouraging Taoist priests to preach abroad, but Huang Jie dared to bring it up like this, so he must have been confident.

However, Rao is Lin Lingsu thought a lot, but when the waiter took the rare book and a piece of Chen, Huang Jie just told him to take it back and study it carefully, so he didn't talk about it at all, but talked about the renovation of the roads in Tokyo City and the construction of canals and sewers.

Lin Lingsu naturally didn't know the details of the corner ball shop yesterday, and when he heard the details of the construction at this time, he was naturally surprised, and he was fascinated by it unconsciously. (To be continued.) )
