Chapter 0368: Buddha Tucheng
After sending Buddha Tucheng away, Ran Min found Ge Hong again.
Ge Hong has been developing gunpowder in the mountains for a year, tirelessly busy, this time the King of Wei called, Ge Hong did not dare to slack off, entered the Jianzhang Palace, after seeing Ran Min's face, after a conversation, Ran Min had a new insight into the native Taoism.
Of course, whether it is Buddhism advocated by Buddha Tucheng or Taoism advocated by Ge Hong, which religion should be designated as the state religion, Ran Min is still hesitant.
As the saying goes, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, the market is so big, the cake is so big, you have more, I will have less, who is willing to give in?
Back in the harem, Ran Min came to the Chenghuan Hall by himself, lay on the bed, and asked Shi Lan to massage herself, and Heloise and Judy's children beat their legs, which was really unhappy.
At this time, Shi Lan whispered in Ran Min's ear: "King, the concubine has heard an interesting thing in the market recently. β
"Oh? What is it? β
"Now there are rumors that the king wants to make Taoism the state religion of my Great Wei."
Hearing this, Ran Min glanced at Shi Lan and said nothing.
"My lord, is it true?"
"That's nonsense." Ran Min said lightly, "Concubine Ai, you tell the widow honestly, who are you listening to about this?" β
"Who told the concubine? This is all heard by the concubines when they go out. β
Shi Lan hurriedly leaned on Hai Ran Min's body and made a bird in the form of a human.
Although Ran Min did not set the rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but since ancient times, it has always been a taboo in the country to interfere in politics in the harem, no wonder Ran Min was so secretive about Shi Lan when he asked about it at this time.
Shi Lan is the princess of Changping of Zhao State, the daughter of Shi Hu, and she will inevitably be biased towards Zhao State in her heart.
Ran Min said: "Ai Fei, what about this matter, the widow doesn't know how to talk to you." But whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, the widow doesn't want to reuse it from the bottom of his heart, as for what state religion, is my Great Wei State a country? β
"This ......"
"In three days' time, the widow will hold a grand puja in Fengmen, if you are interested, go and have a look at it at that time."
Bongmen.
On the huge square, there is a sea of people at this time, and the gongs and drums are noisy. There were black pressed human heads everywhere.
However, among these heads, there are two forces that appear to be polarized and distinct. One is a bald monk, the other is a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe, the two stand opposite each other, almost becoming a saber rattling, if it were not for the stubborn soldiers on both sides to maintain order, they may all be on fire.
The controversy over Buddhism and Taoism has been going on for a long time.
Buddhism was introduced to Middle-earth and was rejected by the defenders of traditional culture. There are many reasons, basically four points.
One is that Buddhism comes from India, which is the religion of Yidi, and thinks that Yidi's culture is low and inferior to that of China, so it should not be believed.
The second is that the Huayi region is different, and it proves that the east is the wood in the preface of Laozi, which belongs to the yang and is the place where the Tao comes out; The west is gold, yin, and is born of the Buddha. Yang respects yin and inferiority, so Taoism is superior to Buddhism.
The three are based on the different races between the Chinese and the Yi, the Yi people originally believed in Buddhism, and the Chinese did not believe in Buddhism.
Fourth, the inflow of Buddhism into Middle-earth should not be believed because it leads to the decline and chaos of the country.
Since the beginning of Taoism, Buddhism came to the east, and there were many places to use each other in the early days, because the two marked the same purpose. At the beginning of the introduction of Buddhism, the translation of Zhu Chinese characters was based on Taoist literal meanings, and later Taoists also used Buddhist teachings.
However, Taoism clashed with the import of Buddhism to Middle-earth because of the increasing number of believers. The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism lasted through the Han, Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties until the Sui, Tang, Ming and Qing dynasties.
"Look! Master Buddha Tucheng is here! β
"Holy Monk!"
Seeing the arrival of Buddha Tucheng, the people who were watching outside suddenly boiled, some danced with their hands, and some knelt directly on the ground, just like treating the prince of the earth, kneeling reverently, and chanting words in their mouths.
Buddha Tucheng was wearing a robe as usual, with kind eyebrows and half-squinted eyes, reflecting a kind of light full of wisdom, sitting high on the step, and the monks nearby were like stars and moons, clustered around Buddha Tucheng.
From this scene, it can be seen that there are so many believers in Buddhism, and how much people respect Buddha Tucheng, almost like a god, almost like a real Buddha!
Some unknown scholars said indignantly: "How can this Buddha Tucheng have such a pomp? I don't know, I thought it was a real immortal! β
"Shhhh Brother, silence. β
A soldier next to him glanced around, and saw that no one noticed this, so he sweated for the gentleman and said, "Brother Tai doesn't know anything." Master Buddha Tucheng is indeed similar to the Buddha, at least in the eyes of Buddhist believers. β
"What do you mean by that?"
"Brother Tai shouldn't be the Central Plains clan, right? Even the famous Master Buddha Tucheng didn't know? β
"Uh...... Below is a native of Wuling County. β
"It turned out to be from the Southern Jin Dynasty, which is not surprising." The scholar shook his head and said, "Brother Tai, you must not say anything disrespectful to Master Fotucheng when you are in Yecheng, or in our Zhao Kingdom. β
"Oh? What is the origin of this Buddha Tucheng master? What is the ability to be worthy of the worship of so many people? β
"Master Fotucheng is a native of the Western Regions, and his surname is Baoshi. When he was a teenager, he became a monk and learned Taoism, and he could recite millions of words of scriptures and understand the meaning of the texts. Although Master Fotu Cheng did not read the history of Confucianism in Han China, but debated and questioned with the scholars Gaoshi, it was all in line with reason, and no one could stump him! β
"Isn't this just an enlightened monk?"
"Hey! If that's all, it's nothing, but Master Buddha Tucheng is different from ordinary enlightened monks! Master Buddha Tucheng came to Luoyang in Yongjia for four years and Zhihong Dafa. I have heard that there are often hundreds of followers of his disciples, and there are as many as 10,000 disciples before and after. The teaching is in full swing! β
The soldier's eyes widened in disbelief: "Wouldn't it? Tens of thousands of disciples? β
"That's right. Moreover, Master Buddha Tucheng not only has many disciples, but also has many outstanding disciples, such as Dharma Head, Fa Zuo, Fa Chang, Fa Zuo, Seng Hui, Dao Jin, etc. Aren't you from the Jin Kingdom? You should know Dao'an, a high monk of the Jin Kingdom, right? He is also a disciple of Master Buddha Tucheng! β
"Wow! I see! β
When Buddha Tucheng sat down, everyone quieted down, pricked up their ears and listened carefully to Buddha Tucheng's chanting there, although they didn't understand it very well, but there was still a feeling of enjoyment and ethereal.
And the appearance of Taoist priests was not so sensational.
"Look! It's Xu Mi real person! Yes! And Ge Hong is a real person! β
Ge Hong does not need to be repeated, he is the master of Taoism in the south and is very famous in Jiangnan. Although Xu Mi is slightly inferior, he can be regarded as a school of Taoism, the third generation of the Shangqing school.
Xu Mi was well-known at a young age, erudite and talented, elegant and pure, and had many contacts with Shi Xian. He was the master of Shaoshi County, selected and supplemented the doctor of Taixue, and was named Yuyao Ling, and then Shang Shulang, and the official was a regular attendant.
Although it is mixed with mundane affairs on the outside, it cultivates true learning inside, walks on the road, and then returns to the hidden Maoshan Mountain.
"Tsk, how could King Wei invite Xu Mi Zhenren here? You must know that Xu Mi Zhenren was born in a scholar family, and he was a member of the Jin Kingdom, and he was an official and a regular attendant, but I didn't expect King Wei to have such ability, and even Xu Mi Zhenren could be invited! β
"Bell! ~" The sound of a gong sounded in the distance, followed by a dull and solemn trumpet, which instantly brightened the entire dome!
Idlers avoid!
"The King of Wei has arrivedβ"
