"I heard that the emperor has the idea of putting down the throne and practicing in person," Luoyang City, in the prince's mansion, the current prince of the Han Dynasty is discussing things with his disciples and some confidant ministers.

"Congratulations to the prince, endure for two years, once the emperor abdicates, you can contact people who are dissatisfied with Buddhism in various places, and attack together, they have been mining and building roads over the years, and the monks have passed through the world, I don't know how many powerful families have been squeezed out of their livelihoods, and there are many complaints from all over the country, but the emperor has turned a deaf ear, and even suppressed it, and it has long been a grievance."

"Before my father's official Zen concession, these words were rarely spoken in front of people, and it must be said that the prince also reads Buddhist scriptures deeply on weekdays and understands Buddhist principles well," the prince picked up a Buddhist scripture written on a cloth.

This is naturally no longer the old scriptures in the past Buddhism, which comprehensively expounds Ling Chen's three major thoughts, which concentrates on what is true practice, the relationship between this life and the next life, and what is the real Buddha.

"However, if you want to refute each other, it will be even more difficult now," the prince unfolded the cloth and said, "This Zhikong is really a wise and far-reaching person, and he disdains to use some clay idols to fool ordinary people, you see, according to what he said, if you want to cultivate Buddhahood, you have to work hard to practice in this world, what is the practice of this world, this practice is a hundred times more difficult than the monks of the White Horse Temple in the past, it is not possible to eat fasting and chant Buddha, it is useless to burn incense and worship Buddha every day, only to clean up your own distracting thoughts, strive to do a good job in the present, and pursue the Buddha nature of all things, Only when all things come from can we achieve something in this life and accumulate good fortune for future lives."

"Then what is the fundamental difference between it and Confucianism's self-cultivation and Qi family's peace in the world?" A doorman was dismissive.

"Confucianism's claim of self-cultivation and self-cultivation is peaceful in the world, but there is no afterlife in the present life, no matter how good it is, it will only leave a clear name for all generations, and it will be empty after death, this Buddhism has grasped this point, claiming that as long as you practice for many lifetimes, you can accumulate in the world and achieve positive results in a certain future life," said another disciple who studied Buddhist scriptures deeply.

"Hmph, this is exactly where I am dissatisfied, relying on the afterlife and the present life such a ghost and god theory, to confuse the world, Zi said, worship ghosts and gods and stay away, and said, Zi Bu is strange and confused, with things that ordinary people can't see, to promote his teachings, is it the right way to govern the country, and what is the difference between those witches and goddesses" Prince Zhengse said.

Despite the surging undercurrent, Wang Hao's prestige for the current emperor, slaughtering tens of millions, and exterminating countless martial arts, can also deter the various forces in the country from daring to come forward, after all, they can still endure the past, from the root, the prosperity of Buddhism has directly affected the ruling interests of many classes, but it is not yet the moment of life and death, they still want to endure until the emperor is old and the prince ascends the throne.

Therefore, although there are many kinds of discussions among the rural people, and there are also all kinds of Confucian scholars appearing, and all families and factions either support or oppose them, but they have not formed a situation of armed conflict.

The Buddhism that pursues Ling Chen's new teachings is making progress little by little in a down-to-earth manner, learning from things, and seeking truth from facts, which are all ideas that the ancients had, combined with the teachings of Buddhism, bursting with strong vitality.

Popularize the original coal, find new mines, improve the original iron-making technology, produce a large number of cheap iron farming tools, supply farmers, rectify transportation, use the burning of charcoal to replace the original charcoal firewood and grass, integrate the surplus labor, organize them to trade, correct the road, all kinds of practical things, the government in the past often had an official document, relying on the persuasion of the village elders on weekdays, how can there be now Buddhism penetrated into every believer, and truly organized every village and every household.

"Is this still my big man's world? There are decades of hard work, I'm afraid it won't be a different name," a clan surnamed Liu saw this scene in the countryside, and did not hesitate to write a 10,000-character blood book and submit it.

But after it was submitted, there was no response, and the court saw that it was clear, waiting for the old emperor to give way, and the day the prince ascended the throne was the time to clean up the Buddhist gate.

Another year has passed, and instead of abdicating the throne, Emperor Han has practiced Buddhism, purified his heart and few desires, no longer pampered, and there is a lot less violence, and his physical condition is better day by day, and it seems that the emperor who sits for another ten years will not be a problem.

The prince is in a hurry, he has three Chinese New Year's Eve today, he sings and dances with the guests on weekdays, and often fishes, but he feels that his body is not as good as day by day, since the Han Dynasty, there are more than 30 powerful people who have died, but there are countless of them.

He began to gather the important ministers and clans who were usually dissatisfied with Buddhism, and secretly began to connect them.

…………

In a temple, Ling Chen was teaching the scriptures to several outstanding Buddhist up-and-comers.

"Wuchen, you have the most profound understanding qualifications, you tell the disciples about the current situation of Buddhism?"

The undercurrent was surging, of course Ling Chen could see it clearly, but these were all in his control, in this civilized world, the only thing that was out of his grasp was the previous ghost matter, but he could only wait until the third place to solve it. Fortunately, just like many plagues that were rampant for a while, the ghosts and monsters were only in chaos for a while, and they quickly disappeared in various places, and of course Ling Chen did not think that they had disappeared, but were hiding.

"Yes, today's Buddhism has spread out in the world, believers want to become monks, they need to go through the major temples to screen and recommend, prove that they know the meaning of the scriptures, understand the true Buddha's intentions, in order to report to the government, ask for a degree of disc, monks do not enjoy privileges, one should work no different from ordinary people, one should pay taxes as usual, but the practice in this world can accumulate in the next life, the blessings accumulated in this life can be left to enjoy in the next life, under the big waves and sands, many hypocrites can not help but be bitter, have withdrawn, and those who are left are those who have deep Buddha nature and great wisdom.

There are only 60,000 people in the world. They usually live in various temples to solve problems and educate local devotees. Every few years, he travels around to exchange ideas with other monks and share his practice.

The outer gate of Buddhism, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, is led by 3,000 monks, and there are hundreds of thousands of hired workers.

Wherever Buddhism flourishes, most of the local people are enlightened and clear, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the poor are asked, and the diseases are treated. But there are also a small number of temples, mixed by pseudo-monks, fake the name of the Buddha, in fact, to satisfy personal desires, not only occupy people's property, but also occupy people's wives and daughters, greatly damage the name of Buddhism, due to the long distance, the major temples patrol the world of the protector monks are difficult to take into account, resulting in a strict zhòng impact, for a long time, the Buddha will not be Buddha, only reduced to a place to hide dirt and dirt. ”

He gave his tongue without dust, and he traveled to all sides in the past few years, and had a lot of experience, which made the monks think it was true.

Ling Chen knew that what he said was true, even if there was a saying about cultivation in the afterlife in his teachings, but in fact, no one had really seen it, unlike the rising sun and the setting of the moon, everyone saw it was believing, so they never doubted the existence of the sun and the moon. When many people saw that Buddhism was prosperous, they learned from his new teachings, but in fact they continued to organize the fame and rights of the believers to seek personal gains.

If you want to clean up these dirts, you can't do it with a pure heart and few desires, you have to have angry eyes to do it.
