Chapter 37: "Lively" Buddhism Gate (2) (Completion of Monthly Pass Plus Update)
As long as we casually calculate the thousands of years of history of the rise and fall of Buddhism, we can know how fierce the struggle within Buddhism is.
Zen Buddhism is divided into five schools and seven sects, and if there is no infighting in the middle of the term, no one will believe it.
The Faxiang Wisdom Sect was divided into the Earth Theory Sect, the Regency Sect, and the Faxiang Sect, and the Faxiang Sect turned around and annexed the Regency Sect. And the Earth Theory Sect was fused by the Huayan Sect.
There is also the Nirvana Sect that was merged into the Three Treatises Sect, and the Three Treatises Sect was not preserved, and was divided between the Tiantai Sect and the Zen Sect.
Coupled with the variety of other sects, and then talk about it in a little detail, it is almost possible to write a wonderful and rich Buddhist sect tear-force romance.
When the dream world was born, the world began to change, the dreamer and the Buddhist cultivator stepped onto the stage of history, and the pattern of Buddhism changed dramatically again.
The Pure Land Buddhism, Zen Buddhism, Tantric Buddhism, and Theravada Buddhism, which once annexed a large number of Buddhist sects and ruled Chinese Buddhism, have encountered some very tricky and embarrassing things.
One of them is the great transformation of real and false monks.
The abbot of Yongzenji Temple, who is now in the meditation room, is a typical example.
The former Buddhist monk suddenly became a "pseudo-monk" full of moisture, and he was almost labeled as a liar.
And those Buddhist disciples who were originally unknown in Buddhism, ridiculed and could only read Buddhist scriptures, and did not know how to change the meaning of Buddhist scriptures, have become real Taoist monks, that is, those who dream of Buddha cultivation.
It's a game-changer!
No, this is subversion!
The disputes within Buddhism, secular forces, money, power, force, and Buddhist scriptures caused by this subversion are really dizzying.
And that's just one of them.
The second is the controversy that arises. It also made the entire Buddhism surging, directly changing the pattern of the entire Buddhism.
The second is that the original will either be destroyed or annexed. Or the declining Buddhist sect suddenly trembled. The once glorious sects were challenged again and again, and finally had to cut their flesh again and again, dividing into new sects one by one, either new or old.
The direct cause of all this is that a large number of Buddhist dreamers have been inherited from different sects in the dream world. By the time they returned from the dream world, their Buddhist philosophy was very different from the Buddhist concept of the world.
The temperament of the dreamer who admits death, as well as the human nature of "people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves", and "rather be the head of the chicken." Not for the phoenix tail", the above situation will occur, and it is natural.
Thereupon. Buddhism began to be reorganized in civil strife.
During that time, Buddhism was really lively beyond imagination.
You must know that the battle between beliefs and ideas is the most tragic. A lot of them don't die.
I heard about the people who died of internal friction in this "lively". There are quite a few, Buddhist disciples, secular people, are implicated, and even the Buddha dreamers have unfortunately died, but in the end they are all suppressed by the victors.
Fortunately, the situation was similar at that time.
The situation of the Daomen is not much different from that of the Buddhism, and the chaos is no less than that of the Buddhism, and it is also mired in endless internal strife. Can't help yourself.
And Shinto, who needed the power of faith to restore their abilities, was too weak at that time. There is neither the ability nor the time to interfere with the Buddha and the Dao.
As for the dreamers outside of Shinto, Taoism, and Buddhism, they naturally have nothing to do with themselves. Some people who don't hear outside the window don't even know about it.
They're so busy with their own business, where do they care about all this.
Moreover, they may also doubt whether their small arms and legs are qualified to participate in such a big dispute. Don't be a bad one, put yourself in.
No matter how chaotic Shinto, Taoism, and Buddhism are, they are not something that anyone can bully, and the Dream Giver and the Dream Giver organization don't want to touch this hard stubble.
There are too many benefits in the outside world waiting for them to take it, and it is effortless, so why should they touch the profound and long-standing Shinto, Taoism, and Buddhism?
Now, more than half a year has passed, and a new pattern of Buddhism after the dispute has once again taken shape, and the various sects of Mahayana Buddhism have barely completed the unification.
Each sect has divided its spheres of influence—though still a little tangled, but at least not dead or alive—and has run it with its own heart.
At the same time, the various sects also began to seek the prosperity of Buddhism as a whole. Only by making the situation bigger can the various sects in the bureau get more benefits.
As a result, there are related plans such as "Buddha's Light Shines".
It's just that not long after this plan began, the Weizhi Sect, which was cooperating with the military of Shanshui Province, suffered an unexpected blow. The "King Kong Demon Circle" they used to subdue demons was snatched away by Pang Shiyuan of the Martial Arts.
There has always been only Buddhism that has a fate, when will Buddhism be "fateful"?
It's a naked slap in the face!
So the Weizhi Sect contacted the Zen sect in Xiwu Province, wanting to give martial arts a good look.
But they don't want Zen Buddhism to have a bigger mind than the Enlightenment Sect, they not only want to give martial arts a good look, but also take this opportunity to win martial arts, so that Buddhism can rise on the corpse of martial arts, one of China's largest dream-giving organizations.
After discussing it like this, they found that if they had a mental calculation or not, this thing could really be done, but with the strength of their two sects, it was still a little worse.
As a result, representatives of various nearby sects gathered in Shanshui Province to discuss important matters.
Nowadays, the traffic situation is very unfavorable, and it really took a lot of time for these people to gather in Shanshui Province. And further afield, they can only send representatives.
Originally, this was just a matter of Mahayana Buddhism.
And even Mahayana Buddhism is also complicated because of history and previous disputes, and it is difficult to say about enmity and hatred. Theravada Buddhism, which did not want to be involved in Mahayana Buddhism, also sent representatives to participate, and things became even more complicated.
It's just a place to be held, and it's hard to give birth because all the denominations want to take advantage of the home field.
Shanshui Province is now the territory of the Wisdom Sect, but other sects also have Buddhist temples left in the Shan Shui Province, but they cannot be compared with the Wisdom Sect in terms of power.
The same is true of the territory of other Buddhist sects.
Seeing that the various sects were really arguing, he could only accompany the last seat, but Ben Ren, who had obtained a qualification to participate, saw an opportunity, and he proposed that the "most positionless" Yongzenji Temple should be the venue.
In the past, Yongzenji Temple was a typical commercial Buddhist temple and was revered by countless people. But it is precisely because the business is doing so well that the Buddhism of Yongshan Temple is not worth mentioning at all.
If it weren't for his reputation, he wouldn't be eligible to participate in this Buddhist event.
However, it is precisely because Eizenji Temple is not worth mentioning in Buddhism, but it has no position at all, so it has become the most suitable place to hold it.
Originally, Benren was just a foolish try, but anyway, it didn't make it a loss, at least it was his intention.
But I don't want to, after these sects think about it, this thing is really done. (To be continued......)
