126 Disadvantages of Mahayana

Because of the relevant policies of the state, they will not be funded.

There is only one answer, the money comes from the believers.

Yuan Zhen let out a long sigh and said, "Why don't I want to devote myself to preaching the scriptures and teachings to benefit all sentient beings?" But now everyone is an ordinary person, Wanxing Temple can't be built, Buddhist colleges can't be built, nursing homes can't be built, and the project money of Guanyin Monastery still owes more than 20 million yuan......

"No money, no Taoism, a monk also needs food, clothing, housing and transportation, a monastery is also a team, it needs a lot of people to support the monastery, the laymen in the monastery, water, electricity and living expenses, all need to be paid, a monastery has a person who comes out to do business operations, there are ninety-nine people who are practicing, this ratio, what is not to do. I can't hide it, I don't know anything about profound Buddhism, and sitting in the position of abbot is also unworthy of virtue, but if Buddhism needs it, I am willing to be the person who bears the notoriety. ”

The yellow-clothed monk Hui Jue said, "Actually, this is not a complete deception, those people went up the mountain just to seek peace of mind." Suppose we don't want anything, they feel empty in their hearts, in their opinion, the Buddha and Bodhisattva in the temple are like the merchants in the world, they are not afraid of asking for more, they are afraid that they don't want it. For if he wants it, he will have the duty to bless and give blessings...... The more almsgiving, the greater the blessing, and one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, which is not considered coaxing. ”

This master and apprentice sang and harmonized, and it really made sense, and I was speechless for a while.

I thought about it for a while, and said that you don't have ticket income, fifty or sixty yuan per person, and the daily passenger flow is not hundreds of thousands, but tens of thousands, and dozens of dollars a day, how can you still be called poor?

Huijue shook his head and smiled bitterly, hey, you don't know something. Do you think that the ticket revenue goes to the temple? That's the relevant departments, such as the tourism bureau, the industry and commerce, and very few of them have fallen into our hands. It's just that the world is ignorant, and they still think that everyone who is a monk is rich, but in fact, we only know that we are suffering.

After listening to it, I was silent, although these two old monks did not have any profound Buddhism, it was indeed not easy to get the Shaolin Temple to its current magnificence in the government.

But I don't know if there are any masters in Shaolin like Wudang Mountain?

I reiterate that it was just a misunderstanding, and I hope that you will not see each other. emphasized that I just went up the mountain to play, and there was nothing to do, and I had the intention of cutting off people's money.

Monk Yuanzhen was overjoyed and said that he wanted to send a monk to be my tour guide, but I politely refused.

"This is very good, the donor really understands the righteousness, and I immediately commanded it to go down, but whoever is the donor is playing, they are not allowed to stop it. There is just one inconvenience. ”

"Oh?"

"Although the donor is a distinguished guest, but there are no rules and no circle, this Houshan Tallinn is a place for Shaolin monks to retreat, I don't like outsiders to disturb, please forgive me."

When I heard it, I thought there was a play.

He still grinned and responded, well, of course. But I made up my mind to go into Tallinn in the evening.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the cool breeze is gusting.

Next to many historic monasteries, there are clusters of ancient pagodas, densely packed like forests, known as Tallinn. These ancient pagodas are the tombs of the monks and monks of the past dynasties in this monastery, some several, some dozens, and even as many as hundreds. The older the monastery and the larger the scale, the larger the Tallinn and the greater the number of towers.

Shaolin Temple Tallinn is the tomb of the monks of the Shaolin Temple, after the death of the famous monks in the Buddhist world, put their ashes or bones into the underground palace, and build a tower on it to show merit. The height, size and number of floors of the tower are mainly determined by the depth of the monk's attainments in Buddhism, the level of prestige, and the size of the merit during his lifetime. The number of floors of the tower is different, generally one to seven levels, the height is about l5 meters or less, and the shape is square, hexagonal, octagonal; There are columns, vertebral bodies; There are straight and parabolic shapes; There are bottle body, trumpet, pavilion tower, dense eaves tower, pavilion tower, lama tower, building tower, tablet tower.

This is really a forbidden place, not a place for monks to cheat money, and there are signs at the entrance and exit gates that non-temple personnel are not allowed to enter.

I glanced at the sign and sneaked in.

Tallinn is dense, eroded by wind and sand, full of vicissitudes, walking in the middle is like a hundred times smaller body, walking on a chessboard dotted around.

Except for an ordinary tower of the Tang Dynasty, an ordinary tower of the Song Dynasty and an ordinary tower of unknown age, all the rest are individual towers. Among them, the Tang Dynasty "Fa Play Zen Master Tower" is the oldest brick tower in Tallinn, located in the northwest of Tallinn, built in 791 (Tang Zhenyuan seven years), the square single-storey single-eaves brick tower, 8 meters high, in addition to the tower gate, the tower sha and the tower inscription are carved with bluestone, the whole body is made of terrazzo bricks, the tower gate is carved with high relief, decorated with classical patterns such as flying and concubine.
