Section 468 Religious Affairs

When the sky was dark on December 7, the first year of Tang Gaozong's dew (679 AD), a brigade of Tang troops, engineers, and people appeared on the streets of Luoqicheng!

They divided their routes, and the largest group rushed to the Yongzhong Honjiao Temple in the city center, and the rest rushed to the various Honkyo temples. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This was a unified big operation, in the big places on the plateau, Maduo, Qingshuihe, Yushu, Nangqian, Liuwuqi, Dingqing, Baqing, Nagqu, Dangxiong and other places where Tang troops were stationed, all of them went out and rushed to the temples of the Sect.

There are two major types of religion in Tibet, one is the Bon religion, which is divided into the original religion and the Yongzhong religion, and the other is the Buddhism brought in by Princess Wencheng.

The primitive religion is also known as the Sparten, that is, the primitive belief, the doctrine believes that all things have spirits, and the objects of worship include the heavens, earth, the sun, the moon, the stars, thunder and lightning, hail, mountains, rivers, earth and stones, plants, birds and beasts and other natural objects, collectively known as the polytheistic worship of the primitive religion, similar to shamanism, that is, primitive witchcraft.

For example, they believe that a mountain and a lake have divinity, so they do not kill, do not move the place of grass and trees, etc., and their sorcerers relieve the people of calamities, get rid of diseases and evils, and have a large number of believers.

Yongzhong Buddhism is the Buddhism passed on by the Buddha of Xingrao Miwo, which originated in the area of the "Gangdis Mountain" in the ancient Zhangxiong Ali region, and is based on the theory of manifestation, tantra and great perfection, and has a wide range of beliefs in the upper strata of Tibet.

This religion was widely spread on the snowy plateau long before Indian Buddhism (led by Princess Wencheng) to Tibet, and was suppressed by Drikung Zampu, and then revived and had a huge influence.

Yongzhong Benjiao Temple is the largest temple in Tibet, the area is vast, the buildings are all golden, there are three floors high, the statues of the gods stand in layers, the same mud gold, it looks brilliant!

But today the temple ushered in an uninvited guest, and when an old wizard saw a large group of Tang troops rushing into the temple roughly, he couldn't help but blurt out: "The law is difficult!" ”

The last martyrdom was during the reign of the 8th Drikung Tsangpo (545-505 B.C.), when the Tibetan ministers believed that the religion had usurped their rights too much, and forced the Drikung Tsangpo to declare that the rest of the Christians must leave Tibet, except for a few who continued to serve the royal family directly in the four rituals of the Raben Council.

In the same way, the Tang army did the same, this time more completely, all the wizards of the Sect were forced to leave the Tang occupied area, and the people who were willing to go with the wizards could also go with them, and they were all exiled to Nepal.

This religion is widely spread in Central Asia and South Asia, for example, when Drikung Tsampu invited three masters from Kashmir to come to Buji, in Nepal at that time, there were also many temples of this religion, and driving them there was a way to live.

In fact, in Wei Xi's heart, what he wanted was to kill all those wizards and sect members of his own sect, and he would be a hundred.

It's a pity that this very tempting idea was opposed by his generals, on the grounds that ----- those lives are nothing, and if you don't kill people, you have to pray for a child, and Princess Taiping, the wife of the general Wei Xi, is about to give birth to a child!"

Therefore, the believers of this religion were lucky to escape their lives, but it was an additional opportunity, because the vast snowy road was a severe test for them.

Directly into the temple, Tang Jun, who faced the statue and the wizard, was actually frightened in his heart!

The more ignorant they are, the more they are afraid of gods and ghosts, and they rely on the military order issued by their general: "In the future, except for the Buddhism preached by Princess Wencheng on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, no other religion will be allowed to spread!" ”

There are still Confucianism and Taoism in the Central Plains, but Wei Xi didn't want to think about it for such a long time, so he would first get Buddhism in the right place.

The soldiers of the Tang army brutally drove the wizards in the temple out of the temple, even if the wizards were reluctant, then forcibly dragged them away, if they resisted, if they took out their weapons, they would be killed, and if they used their fists and feet, then they would be full of old fists and leather whips!

There are also bloody Tubo people who took out scimitars, but immediately cut down the Tang army, who were armed to the teeth, and fell in a pool of blood, and then their direct relatives were all reduced to slaves!

The weather is freezing cold, and a large number of wizards and people are driven into the streets and driven into the wilderness!

This is the second martyrdom in the history of this religion, and this martyrdom has completely destroyed this religion and cannot rise again.

In the end, the struggle between the old and new forces intensified, causing the king of Zao to be killed, the prince exiled, and the queen mother was relegated to commoner grazing.

But this sect has no chance this time, because Wei Xi's strategy is extremely right!

First of all, the first step is to follow the example of Drikung Zampu and drive all the wizards away.

The second step is what Zhigong Zampu does not have, that is, to let Buddhism rise, Buddhism refers to the Buddhism brought in by Princess Wencheng, and Princess Wencheng brought many Buddhist scriptures into Tibet and important Buddhist supplies such as the 12-year-old statue of Sakyamuni.

The third step is the separation of church and state, which is the true nature of the Han regime, and in China, there has never been a religion that can dictate to the regime!

There will be no Dharma king to interfere in politics, the Central Plains Dynasty has always been the supremacy of the emperor, or the power of the ministers, the appearance of the Southern Dynasty 480 temples is an extremely rare case.

Believers can enter the temple to burn incense, and do whatever they need to do after leaving the temple, so that Buddhism is not allowed to interfere in political affairs.

……

The old man cried, the new man laughed, and three days later, a grand Buddhist puja was held in the Jokhang Temple!

Jokhang Temple is the first hall of many halls, the main hall is as high as four floors, gilded copper tile roof, brilliant and magnificent, was built in the 21st year of Tang Zhenguan (647 AD), built by the cadres of the Tibetan King Songtsen, originally enshrined the statue of Sakyamuni brought by the princess of Nepal (the princess is another wife of the Songtsan cadre, married before Princess Wencheng), and in the other place of the Jokhang Temple enshrined the statue of Sakyamuni brought by Princess Wencheng, the status of the two princesses can be imagined!

When Princess Shizai, Princess Wencheng and Songtsan cadres were together, it was the ruler on the left, Wencheng on the right, and the left on the left.

Tang Jun here, of course, could not tolerate this kind of thing to happen, so the statue of Sakyamuni in the Jokhang Temple was exchanged, and the things related to the Buddha in the Jokhang Temple were brought in by Princess Wencheng, and the Xiaozhao Temple put the things of the princess.

According to Wei Xi's thoughts, he wanted to completely erase the existence of Princess Qizun, but was blocked by Princess Wencheng!

The virtuous Princess Wencheng, damn feudal etiquette thoughts, Princess Wencheng actually didn't let Wei Xi kill the existence of Princess Qizun!

No, no, no way, it's always okay to change which is big or small, Wei Xi then dialed the existence of Princess Gao Wencheng.

The incense on the Jokhang Temple is vigorous, the lamas are vigorously chanting the scriptures and knocking on the rock, and the Tubo nobles of the naturalized Tang Dynasty are here, plus many Tubo people participate.

All the Tang Dynasty generals came out and invited Princess Wencheng.

In the sound of muttering Buddhist scriptures, everyone is pious.

Pray for those who died in the war, and pray that they will reach the other side smoothly.

Blessings for the future of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, praying for the safety of people and animals, and good weather and wind! (To be continued.) )
