Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Ling Chen selected the essence of his own scriptures and wrote them into three volumes of a new treatise on Buddhism, expounding his ideas respectively, and setting up the specific practice method of monks, the core of which is three, one is that monks should be self-reliant and work personally; Second, while preaching the scriptures and teachings, we should also learn from things, study all things and things, explore the Buddha nature contained in them, and summarize and record them; Third, it is necessary to listen to the sufferings on a regular basis, solve the practical difficulties of the believers, and try their best to find real solutions, instead of just verbally explaining and empty-mouthed, as in the past, which can only calm the believers' hearts for a while, but cannot solve long-term problems.
Then he ordered these three to be carried out in the four major temples.
These things are easier said than done, and people have always been able to throw out seemingly perfect social theoretical plans, but very few of them are actually implemented, and the implementation is often out of shape.
But Ling Chen entered the battle world this time, bringing in 10,000 intelligent clones who were absolutely obedient to his orders, and only lent 500 people to Bora, most of which were still in his control. These people are naturally the best candidates to implement Ling Chen's theory.
He asked the monks to find these ways to seek practical solutions to the difficulties of the believers, rather than just saying that they believed in many Buddhas and worshipping the Buddha and offering more offerings to the Three Jewels.
In order to make the believers have enough food and clothing, he first selected a few people among the monks who had a background in agriculture, ordered them to sort out agricultural classics, arrange agricultural tools, seeds, fertilizers and other agricultural skills, ordered them to teach the believers in addition to preaching at night, and ordered these people to lead the people to reclaim the land and renovate the water conservancy during the day.
So the monks did as he said, helping the believers to reclaim wasteland during the day, leading them to build water conservancy, and leading the believers to pray and recite scriptures at night, calming their minds, and teaching farming and weaving skills by the way. Of course, there is some candle burning to pay for it, but it is also worth it.
The government has never gone to the countryside, unless it is to collect taxes and levy people's husbands, these people's daily affairs, I think it is clan management, and now Ling Chen is doing real yàn, and the dozens of villages attached to it have the property of his temple, and he has the right to do so.
Building water conservancy and revitalizing agriculture is fundamental, and Ling Chen did not come up with any high technology here, because he understands that the so-called technology can only be used for a while, and if it really lasts for a long time, it has to change people's hearts.
A wandering monk was puzzled and asked him in private, saying that if he acted like this, how different would he be from other peasant families, wouldn't he lose the majesty of Buddhism and our lofty mystical traditions?
Ling Chen replied like this: "The Buddha said that he should save all sentient beings, so is it the goodness of those who eat with a full stomach, or the goodness of starving?" The tongue blooms with a lotus flower, which is not as good as a bowl of white rice; The words of great virtue are not comparable to the place of the cone. Only when sentient beings no longer worry about food and clothing, can they have the strength to see their hearts, and they can become Buddhas, and in addition, they are all divergent paths."
Hungry ** chanting scriptures, two days a day, three days and five days wilting, ten days and eight days of death, this truth monks understand.
He also said, "If you are a Buddha, you only go to the rich and noble, and you don't have to care about their food and clothing; My Buddha, I have to save all the people, and I have to save their mouths and stomachs before I can renew their hearts."
After saying this, although those wandering monks felt that it was inappropriate, it was difficult for them to find solid arguments to hinder Ling Chen.
These three rules seem simple, but they are difficult to implement, but Ling Chen has the best execution, and the ten thousand intelligent clones will conscientiously implement his new practice method regardless of fatigue.
It took three months for this system to finally work, and the fields of the affiliated villages of the temple under its jurisdiction increased, although it was not much, but it was indeed convinced by the believers, thinking that worshipping the Buddha was indeed effective, and many simple people sent the increased grain and fruits to the temple, Ling Chen did not refuse, but ordered people to build granaries and reserve them, and those melons and fruits that were not stored for a long time were shared with others.
After finishing the field in his own territory, what Ling Chen had to do was to promote this model, he brought 10,000 people with him, sent them in batches, and also sent dozens of indigenous monks who had quite a comprehension, after all, he still had to leave this world, only these indigenous monks could truly comprehend and be aware
Ling Qi brought fifty people to Luoyang, which was the capital of the Han Dynasty at this time, with millions of people, and this was naturally the best place to promote the new Buddhism. But there is already an ancient temple here, called the White Horse Temple.
The task given to him by Ling Chen was simple, that is, to spread his new Dharma, build new temples, and win over new believers.
When the White Horse Temple was built with Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty, of course, this world is not real history, but just its background.
Ling Qi entered here twice, the first time he entered, he died of the civil strife of the farming people, according to the analysis of this time, it was probably the period when the Eastern Han Dynasty arose, but now the civil strife has long subsided, and Liu Hao, the new emperor of the Han Dynasty, began to use troops against the grassland.
After coming to Luoyang, Ling Qi checked the dishes and entered the city gate with the monks.
Along the way, I heard passers-by happy and discussed.
"A few months ago, the Son of Heaven personally conquered the grassland, led the march and rode 50,000, breaking the Huns alone to 300,000 people, and his martial arts were outstanding, far better than the previous generations," an old man was stroking his beard, his face was red, and he was talking to the people around him.
"Today is really mighty"
"The Son of Heaven is indeed mighty"
Ling Qi and the others didn't feel it, if they were normal people, they would definitely think at this time, this is just relying on the strength of our brothers, with the emperor's ability, it is okay to chase the Xiongnu from the north, but if they want to make such an amazing record, it is absolutely impossible, but they are not normal people, of course, no one is going to join in the fun.
According to Ling Chen's arrangement, they had to obtain the support of Emperor Han first, and Ling Chen left a hand and let Bao Lai go west, which strategically forced Wang Hao to unite with him, rather than exclude and attack, otherwise he would have to take a big risk, and Ling Chen might change from the current neutrality to a union with Baolai, so that Wang Hao would inevitably fail in the camp mission.
Ling Chen had anticipated the current situation when he was playing against the three parties earlier, and it was not in his current interests to help either side get rid of one side.
It took half a month to get through a series of complicated procedures, and they were received by Wang Hao in the side hall.
Don't look at the last time Wang Hao went in person, but now it is not easy to see him, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
"Why are you here?" Wang Hao sat on the throne and looked down at the dozens of monks below, of course he knew who these people were, but this kind of identity gap and tone of voice still made him feel sincerely happy.
"There are monks in Chongming Temple in the north courtyard of my Buddhism, who have become enlightened and written three volumes of the new treatise on Buddhism, and I am here to present it to His Majesty, so as to use it for the people" Ling Qi naturally didn't feel anything, and took out three volumes of scriptures written in cloth from his arms, and raised his hands high.
Wang Hao couldn't recognize this person he had given the partner contract, he opened his mouth and said, "Left and right, present it"
Soon, a eunuch took the cloth scripture in Ling Qi's hand, and then carefully examined it, and there were no special problems, before bending down and respectfully presenting it to the emperor.
Of course, Wang Hao didn't worry about what they were doing, and when these people came in, everything was strictly checked, whether it was poisonous or not, there were precautions, and he took those cloths.
There are dense small characters written on it, all of which are written in ancient Chinese, but it is not difficult for him, after a few glances, he is a modern person after all, knowing Ling Chen's central idea, strategically speaking, it has no conflict with him, but it is of great benefit.
