Ye Yu was silent when he saw that Qiu was silent, so he said: "What the senior brothers said is contaminated with the dust of the world, making the Taoist scriptures and meanings no longer pure. Then Senior Brother dares to ask Senior Brother Qiu, is the doctrine of this Quanzhen Sect really pure? ”

"What Senior Brother Ye said is reasonable, the so-called everything has a law, but everything cannot, everything is the rotation of yin and yang, and it is not immutable. It seems that in this matter, the poor road is too shackled......"

Qiu Chuji is an understanding person, and after listening to Ye Yu's words, he is slowly accepting Ye Yu's thoughts.

Ye Yu glanced at him and said, "Senior Brother Qiu, he is a person of great wisdom, if you want Taoism to prosper, Senior Brother has two opinions here......

"Please!"

"Senior brother should know that there is a foreign religion that has been on the rise among the people. This sect originated from Fanwai, and has been introduced to Middle-earth since the Eastern Han Dynasty, but after four missions, it was finally abolished in the previous dynasty Wuzong period, and has declined since then! ”

After hearing this, Qiu Chuji was puzzled at first, but then he suddenly woke up: "What the senior brother said is the Catholicism introduced from Fanbang?" ”

"Exactly!"

Ye Yu did not correct Qiu's mistakes, in fact, Catholicism is only the predecessor of Christianity. Because Qiu Chuji was able to have an impression of this Christianity, this was beyond Ye Yu's expectations.

Historically, Christianity was officially introduced to China in four main stages, and the folk can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Taizong believed that the teachings of Christianity were true, so he issued a special edict to allow the Assyrian Society to spread in the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time build a church in Yiningfang, Chang'an.

After Tang Gaozong Li Zhi ascended the throne, he honored Aroben as the great Dharma king of the town country, and the church reached the scale of "Ten Ways of the Dharma", "Temple Full of Hundred Cities", and 200,000 believers at its peak.

Therefore, while everyone only sees that Buddhism and Taoism are prevalent in the middle of the way, in fact, Christianity has slowly taken root in China and has reached the point of its prosperity.

However, in the late Tang Dynasty, after Tang Wuzong ascended the throne, Buddhism was abolished, and Christianity was also eradicated, and Christianity could not afford to fall from then on.

After many years of ups and downs, Buddhism was reborn in the midst of this catastrophe and revived again with the momentum of fire, but Christianity has since gone into decline.

It can be seen that the attitude of the ruling court played a crucial role in the prosperity and decline of religion.

Qiu Chuji's face was contemplative, and then he asked in a deep voice: "What does senior brother mean......"

"Why don't Senior Brother Qiu learn from each other's strengths and improve the doctrine? Christianity advocates helping the poor, raising orphans, and healing the people, all of which are worth learning. Although there are many people in my Taoist sect who hoe the strong and help the weak to solve the crisis and help the poor, they are too weak after all and cannot form an impact! ”

If we want to embody the many good deeds of Taoism, we must not learn the spirit of Lei Feng, otherwise this kind of good deeds can never be carried forward and can not be better publicized.

Lei Feng's spirit, doing good deeds without leaving a name, but has the style of ancient chivalry. While it is worthy of admiration and encouragement, it is only a personal act.

If the original intention of a religion is to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, then this kind of intentional propaganda can actually benefit more people.

After hearing this, Qiu Chuji still frowned. Ye Yu means that the Quanzhen Sect usually does more good deeds, which is not inappropriate, after all, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is also a kind of cultivation of cultivators.

But if a scale is really formed, not to mention the many difficulties involved, this is also contrary to the Taoist idea of Dao Wuwei.

Cultivators retreat to the mountains to practice in order to stay away from the hustle and bustle and seek the natural state of Taoism. But if you do what Ye Yu said, then the cultivator will be in the hustle and bustle.

Seeing Qiu's hesitant appearance, Ye Yu sighed and said, "Senior Brother Qiu, cultivators are still living in the earthly world before they become immortals and attain the Dao, and they still have to eat the fireworks of the world, so they should be bound by the earthly world." ”

"All human beings will have seven emotions and six desires, and they will definitely have what they want. However, the purpose of Taoism is to do nothing, that is, to believe that there is nothing left. If the common people do not get benefits, how can there be many people who believe in the end? ”

The sentence "This ......" can be said to hit the vital point, which made Qiu Chuji's face suddenly gloomy.

Because today is the time to leave, Ye Yu didn't want to be tactful at the moment, so he said bluntly: "This is also the reason why the pseudo-Taoism is more prosperous than the orthodox Taoism!" ”

The false Taoism that Ye Yu said is that those Taoist priests in various Taoist palaces are also using gods and monsters to pretend to deceive, but those are not the true meaning of Taoism, but will completely ruin the reputation of Taoism.

But even though these people are swaggering, there are still a large number of people who are devout.

Why is that?

Because these swaggering and deceitful bad Taoist priests promised the people those things that seem impossible, but are still blindly pursued!

Like all kinds of counterfeit products, the derivation of these things must have its own reason. Because those brand-name items are expensive and out of reach, there are many people who are willing to buy cheap knockoffs.

Taoism positions its thinking so high, in fact, it is also a symbol of philosophy. However, if scholarship and philosophy remain on the shelf, they will eventually be rejected by the world in the future.

Marxism can be said to be a philosophy, and the reason why it can be widely applied to practice and the core idea of the founding of the country is because this philosophical thought is very down-to-earth!

Down-to-earth is a symbol of civilianism, which gives people a kind of communist illusion with a good future, and it is unknown whether this can really be realized.

But it is undeniable that this kind of thinking has given intellectuals a promising pursuit. Just like the teachings in Buddhism, as long as you are dedicated to the Buddha, you will ascend to the world of bliss in the future, and you will not fall into the suffering of hell and sinking.

As for whether it can be or not, then the only way to ask the dead is to ask the dead!

"Senior Brother Qiu, why don't you recruit fellow Taoist friends and revise your morality, saying: Those who believe in Taoism and are pious, their bodies remain in the world, and their souls can enter the Nine Heavens Pure Land at ease; Those who do not believe in Taoism are not exempt from suffering in the six realms of reincarnation, and it is difficult to transcend the bitter sea and red dust! In this way, Taoism can be aggressive and can be carried forward! ”

Ye Yu's remarks are a synthesis of the strengths of Christianity and Buddhism, aiming to reform the Taoist idea of non-action, which can be more suitable to integrate into the hearts of the people of the world.

Qiu Chuji is also an extremely calm person, but after listening to Ye Yu's words, he was surprised that he didn't close his mouth for a long time.

In this way, can Taoism still be called Taoism?

"Senior Brother Qiu, wearing yarn in summer and cotton in winter, when the time is different, the strategy is also different. No matter what, only by keeping pace with the times can it prosper for a long time. It's like a cultivator who is quiet and inactive, but if there is no Chen Jiao ancestor to meet the ancestor of this dynasty and build momentum for the emperor, how will Taoism have today's bright situation? ”
