A room full of people stared at each other, and a sadness rose in King Mindong's heart, this is the prince and minister of Myanmar, the national disaster is at the head, don't look at what they say well, when they really need to go on their own, they turn off the fire.

Of course, the princes and ministers of Burma are not afraid to negotiate with the British, the British will not kill the envoys indiscriminately, it is nothing more than some humiliation, and the Chinese army is notorious, along the way, 100,000 Burmese people have died, tens of thousands of women have been plundered, and regardless of class, poor, rich, officials, and even monks are killed, so cruel, who dares to negotiate?

"Hey~~" King Mindong sighed again, according to the old habit, when he had any questions, he asked the national teacher, turned his head and asked, "Venerable, what do you think?" ”

"Huh?" Tatanaban was shocked, and inexplicably pulled himself up, wouldn't it be to let himself go?

Buddhism in Myanmar is different from that of China and Japan, which pursued Northern Buddhism, that is, Mahayana Buddhism, which pays attention to meditation and the Dharma, and takes the purification of sentient beings as a grand wish, while Myanmar and Southeast Asia are spread Theravada Buddhism, although it is known as Hinayana Buddhism, but in fact belongs to the category of Theravada Buddhism.

His goal of practice is to devote himself to the elimination of afflictions, liberation from birth and death, and enlightenment of nirvana, that is, to focus on personal practice, and at the same time to precept and wisdom as the practice stage, not to advocate epiphany, requiring step-by-step practice, with extremely cumbersome rules, what wine and meat through the intestines, the Buddha left in his heart, in Theravada Buddhism is a serious apostasy.

For example, at the end of the Tung Ghu Dynasty in Burma, there was a 75-year-long dispute over clothing, when monks entered the village to preach. Is it to spread the right shoulder, or to drape the shoulders? The two factions are also known as the Partitarians and the Pilgrims, respectively. Several Burmese kings were involved, and this was in Northern Buddhism. It is unthinkable to argue for seventy-five years about a person who does not show his right shoulder.

To borrow the words of Master Shenxiu: The body is a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, always wipe diligently, do not cause dust, and the expression of the practice idea is gradual enlightenment, which is also a good interpretation of the practice purpose of Southern Buddhism.

Correspondingly, in Southern Buddhism and Northern Buddhism, the status of monks is also different, in fact, no matter what religion. All have political attributes, in Chinese history, why did the three martial arts and one sect destroy the Buddha? Because Buddhism is too powerful, it endangers the ruling foundation of the secular regime.

It is entirely conceivable that if there were no three martial arts and one sect to destroy the Buddha, perhaps in today's China, every adult male would have to leave home once in his life, Buddhism has a supreme position, and the people are proud to donate gold and precious stones to Buddhism. Isn't it familiar that every temple is extremely luxurious, with countless wealth and land? That's right. This is the portrayal of the Buddhist countries in Southeast Asia.

In the beginning, Buddhism was not too mildly religious, and it was also very expansive and aggressive. But China has a strong and unified secular political base, and Buddhism has been attacked several times. To be honest, I chose to combine it with Chinese culture. It gradually integrated into China's political and ecological environment, and became the Buddhism we see today, with compassion and compassion for all sentient beings.

When Buddhism spread in Southeast Asia, there was a lack of unified and mature civilization, and Buddhist civilization was a high-level civilization compared to the local indigenous civilization, Buddhism needed to spread, and local rulers needed to consolidate their position through Buddhism.

When religion and political power are combined, no matter what religion it is, they will indulge in power and cannot be self-controlled, and they will enjoy the wonderful taste that comes from power, religious leaders may not be all greedy and mean, there are many people who are self-cultivation and discipline, strictly abide by the canons, and can be an example for a generation of grandmasters, but as the so-called big husband cannot be without power for a day, they absolutely cannot tolerate the loss of power, Tatanaban as the national teacher and religious leader of Myanmar, he does not want to go to the west to see Rulai so early!

What happened to the monk? The Chinese even kill monks!

Tatanaban made up his mind not to open his mind, but others would not let him go, and the Dead Dao Friends Immortal Poor Dao is not just a Chinese association, but a truth that is released all over the world!

King Jianang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Your Excellency, Your Holiness is a great and virtuous monk, and the Dharma is boundless, and it is most appropriate for His Holiness to go, maybe he can influence those Chinese." ”

Tatanaban's white beard trembled, and he cursed King Kasang no less than ten times in his heart, but he still had to make a virtuous monk on the surface, and his eyebrows were lowered, "Nan Wu Shakyamuni!" ", chanted the Buddha's horn, and said slowly: "The Chinese are brutal and inhumane, they have long fallen into the Asura Path, and the old monk's mana is shallow, how dare he take on such a heavy responsibility?" I'm afraid that if it doesn't work, it will ruin the king's major affairs, and I ask the king to choose another meritorious. ”

King Mindong felt an irrepressible anger rise from his chest, how could he not hear what Tatanaban meant? This is clearly not daring to go, Nuoda is a Burma, can't you find anyone who goes to talk to the Chinese about rebellion?

Prince Mingong, the eldest son of Min Dong, looked at his face and snorted at the moment: "His Holiness is the Buddha's messenger in the world, and I, Burma, is the Buddha's most sincere Buddha country in the world. ”

Prince Mikye also said, "Is His Holiness worried about his safety? This is not necessary, China also believes in Buddhism, but the tribes are different, he is the North Buddhism, and we are Theravada Buddhism, although there are different righteousness, but the same way, the Venerable is to go on behalf of the Buddha, do not respect the Venerable, is not respectful to the Buddha, unless China and the world of Buddhism break, otherwise do not dare to disrespect the Venerable. ”

"Yes, yes, non-Venerable ones can't make it! Please think for the Buddha, for the sake of the people of Burma, and no matter what! The room was full of chorus, and even King Mindong was full of anticipation.

"Nam no Shakyamuni!" The voice of the Tatana Pansong Buddha trembled a little, he hated these selfish royals, but did he have a choice? I had to force myself to calm down and said: "Okay, the old monk will go on a trip for the king." ”

A smile appeared on everyone's face, and King Mindong also asked hypocritically, "Do you want this king to send some forbidden troops to maintain His Holiness?" ”

Tatanaban secretly scolded in his heart, China's 200,000 troops, sending a few hundred forbidden troops, is not enough for people to be suspicious, and said lightly at the moment: "The old monk is not going to fight against the Chinese army, the king's heart The old monk has understood it, and it is enough to bring some disciples with him." ”

"That" for a long time, King Mindong nodded reluctantly: "Then there is Venerable Lao." ”

"Nam no Shakyamuni!" Tatanaban bowed deeply and turned away, but no one noticed, his face was slightly distorted.

When Tatanaban left the palace, he immediately gathered his disciples and monks, excused the Buddha's decree, and asked him to take his disciples to Lashio to chant the Buddha and dissolve China's anger, which can lead to great merit.

With Tatanabaan's call, nearly 5,000 people were recruited on the same day, and the next day they left Ava and headed for Lashio, where monks continued to join them along the way, and by the time they arrived on the outskirts of Lashio on September 20, the number had exceeded 10,000.

Although he was accompanied by 10,000 people, he had some confidence in his heart, but when he saw the dense grass green in the distance, Tatanaban still had the urge to turn around and leave.

"Venerable, we" The disciples showed obvious hesitation, and one of them turned his head to look at Tatanaba.

Tatanaban also wants to leave, but if he leaves now, his status, reputation and power will all be lost, not to mention that he can see the Chinese army, and the Chinese army will definitely be able to see him, and it will be too late to leave at this time.

"Nam no Shakyamuni!" Tatanaban recited the Buddha's horn and chanted: "Fearful things should be feared, and fears in the future should be guarded against.

Tatana Ban recited the Bunsen Sutra in the small scriptures, and with His Holiness taking the lead, all the disciples followed the recitation, and for a while, the chanting sound rose to the sky, as if it was really going to fear.

The main force of the NLD completed the complete encirclement of Lashio yesterday, and all the necessary ammunition and supplies were in place, and the Second and Eighth Armies besieged the city from three directions, leaving only the road to Ava.

After all, the dog will jump over the wall when he is in a hurry, leaving a way to live, leaving a glimmer of life for the Lashio army and civilians, so that he will not be so desperate, Wang Feng's request is to ask for land, as for whether the Burmese are killed, or flee to Bangladesh or Siam, he actually doesn't care too much, just like he did with Vietnam at the beginning, he is not worried about revenge and resentment by the people of these countries.

However, the Miao Mountain Division and the incorporated armed forces of the mountain people in northern Myanmar will not be the main force, but will participate in the follow-up work of entering the city and sweeping the tail.

The heavens and the earth were filled with a solemn atmosphere, and even the birds no longer chirped, except for the sound of the number of reports from the position.

"Gun position 1 is ready, gun position 2 is ready"

Seeing that the war was about to begin, a scout rushed to report: "Shi Shuai, Zhou Shuai, a group of monks are here." ”

Shi Dakai and Zhou Shunbo turned their heads to see that tens of thousands of monks were in a neat formation, walking slowly and unhurriedly, chanting the scriptures they couldn't understand in unison, and the leader was an old monk with white hair.

"Monk?" Shi Dakai and Zhou Shunbo came up with this idea at the same time, and looked at each other strangely.

"Humph!" Zhou Shunbo snorted coldly: "The Burmese are also out of recruitment, and even the monks have moved out, I want to see what the monks in the south have to do, can they ask the Buddha to retreat from us." ”

"Eh~~ It's better to say less of this kind of thing, the monks in the south and our monks worship the same Buddha." Shi Dakai is still a little taboo, and waved his hand to dissuade him, after all, killing a monk and insulting the Buddha are two different things, most monks of Theravada Buddhism can't be regarded as a monk in Shi Dakai's eyes, can you be called a monk if you eat meat and marry a wife? At most, he is a flower monk.

After looking in the direction where the monks came for a moment, Shi Dakai said again: "Suspend the siege of the city, let the old monk come over, and the rest of the people will be killed if they come close!" ”

"Yes!" A soldier hurried away. (To be continued.) )
