Jingwen has been busy for several months, and finally successfully upgraded Mengjin County to Mengzhou, and he should take a good leisure. And although it has been very close to Luoyang in the past few months, it has not been able to have the opportunity to visit Luoyang at all, which has to be said to be a regrettable thing. Therefore, once Jingwen was free, he immediately brought the two beauties to Luoyang to play. And Jingwen is alone with two beauties, which really makes many people envious, jealous and hateful. After all, the two beauties are very beautiful, and their temperament is not an ordinary woman. After all, Liu Qing is also a boss anyway, and Cui Ying has always been the daughter of the Cui family with the fifth surname of the Seven Sects, and her natural temperament is much higher than that of ordinary women. And Jingwen can be accompanied by two such beauties all of a sudden, which of course envy everyone.

And Jingwen and the two beauties wandered casually, and they came to the famous White Horse Temple in Luoyang. The White Horse Temple is very populated, and there are people everywhere here, obviously they all come to the White Horse Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha. But Jingwen wanted to leave immediately, after all, he had no interest in burning incense and worshipping Buddha, he was a person from the next generation, and he would not believe in any immortal Buddhism at all.

"Husband, let's go to the White Horse Temple to have a look!" Liu Qing said.

"White Horse Temple, is it the White Horse Temple, the first temple in my Central Plains?" Jingwen said.

And Cui Ying took the initiative to explain: "Yes, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, because Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty dreamed of the Jin people at night, and that is, the Buddha of the West. After that, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty also sent envoys to the west, and then invited Hu monks from Tianzhu in the West. Since then, Buddhism has taken root in the Central Plains and has developed since then. Buddhism has also expanded from the original White Horse Temple to the current temples everywhere in the world, and it has become very prosperous. So, Buddhism is still very suitable for me in the Central Plains, because it can guide people to goodness. ”

Jingwen scoffed at this statement, because in this part of the Central Plains, it is difficult for any religion to really develop. If there is no official support. It is impossible to develop. Buddhism has gained a lot of official support, because Buddhism pays attention to the law of reincarnation, saying that if you accumulate virtue and do good deeds in this life, you will be able to be reincarnated in the family of a rich and noble person in the next life. And this statement is very much in line with the idea of the emperor of the Central Plains, that is, he hopes that the people can be exploited well, and then suffer alive without resisting, and then look forward to the "next life" to be able to take refuge in the rich and noble family to live.

But who knows if there is such an afterlife? Anyway, this is right, as long as the people can not resist, so that the emperors can sit back and relax. Not afraid of the rebellion of the people. Therefore, the official promotion of Buddhism is also very much in line with the ideas of which emperors. As for Taoism, it is only in recent times that it has been able to truly re-emerge.

Taoism is about improving one's self-cultivation and then striving to achieve what is called the ascension of the day. And this Taoism focuses on working hard in this life, and then realizing one's life ideals. This kind of religious thinking is very capable of promoting people's self-motivation and ambition, and he doesn't want Buddhism to look forward to that illusory future life, he expects to be able to work hard to achieve the goal in this life. So this kind of thinking is a certain rebellious thinking. Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties were not very supportive. So this is also suppressed, except that now it has to be involved with the Li Tang royal family, so it can rise again. Buddhism has also been supported by successive dynasties, and has gradually overwhelmed Taoism. It became the first religion of the Central Plains. This has to be said to be a tragedy, after all, it is all used to fool the people.

"Husband, let's go in and have a look, I heard that incense is offered in the White Horse Temple. It works. Let's go in and burn a few sticks of incense, and then ask for a great future for my husband! Liu Qing said.

But Jingwen shook his head and said, "Ask the Buddha to bless you?" This is simply nonsense. Don't you hear that you don't burn incense on weekdays, and you are cramming Buddha's feet temporarily? I don't burn incense on weekdays. How could the Buddha bless me? Moreover, the respect for the Buddha is not reflected in how much incense can be burned, and how many heads can be deducted from the Buddha. And the true respect for the Buddha is in the heart. As long as there is a Buddha in our hearts, then why do we care about whether we burn incense or not, and whether we give the Buddha a buckle? And burning this kind of incense with fireworks is not the best incense. And the best incense is a sincere heart to the Buddha, a stick of heart incense. ”

"The donor is really a good state, he can not be confused by external objects, and his understanding of my Buddha is really profound!" An old monk said.

And Jingwen found out that an old monk actually walked towards him and spoke to himself.

"Who are you?" Jingwen asked.

"Old Man Huijing!" The old monk said.

"Huijing? This Buddha name is also rotten on the street! Jing Wen complained in his heart, because this kind of Huijing Buddha name is also rotten in later generations, and many novels have it.

"You are Master Huijing, the abbot of the White Horse Temple?" Liu Qing asked.

"The benefactor has also heard of the old man?" Hui Jing asked.

"Hmm!" Liu Qing replied.

"Stick!" Jingwen scolded in his heart.

However, Hui Jing was obviously not very enthusiastic about Liu Qing, but looked at Jingwen and said, "Donor, I heard what you said just now, it seems that I know a lot about my Buddha. It's a pity that everyone in the world wants to ask for the blessing of my Buddha, get fame and fame, and have children and grandchildren. But I don't know anything about my Buddha's teachings, and it's just for the sake of the desires of the laity. Hope, sad, sigh! ”

Jingwen certainly knows that the vast majority of Chinese are a group of "pseudo-believers". They believe in Buddhism, but in fact, they don't want to rely on these gods to bless themselves and obtain worldly benefits. For example, what high-ranking officials are generous, what wives and concubines are in groups, and what children and grandchildren are full. Actually, these are some secular interests, not really a religion. In fact, what they believe in is profit, and what they believe in is that they want to get something for nothing. How many of them have an understanding of Buddhism? I'm afraid there is not one in a hundred. They just want to get something for nothing, so of course Jingwen thinks they are all hypocrites.

This old monk Huijing seems to be a person who really knows this situation, so he sighs that the world is looking forward to some benefits and does not understand the things of Buddhism. In fact, Buddhism is also a philosophy, a philosophy of doing things and doing things, not all religions. Many religions are philosophical, but then they are used for less. In this process, it may be that some missionaries deliberately distort and pretend to be gods in order to attract believers, or it may be another act of the government. (To be continued......)
