Chapter 199: Return the money
Hearing his younger brother's question, Xiao Rui pondered for a moment, and then said seriously: "If the Buddha is a wise man and sage who has cultivated to a high level and attained Taoism, then I believe that he exists. But if the Buddha is an immortal deity, omniscient and omnipotent, watching us from the heavens, and needing the people to worship the idol of faith, then I don't believe it. ”
Xiao Yue asked, "What is the explanation of karma?" ”
Xiao Rui smiled, "There is no way to do good or bad, only to recruit yourself." Are the things in the world really cause and effect, and the retribution is unpleasant? Not necessarily, as the saying goes: good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years. This sentence is not groundless, is it? ”
"If there really is such a fair and just god, then there should be no such saying."
Seeing his younger brother's confused expression, Xiao Rui put forward a point of view: "According to the Buddhist scriptures, the Buddha said that all beings are equal. Since all living beings are equal, then human beings like you and me, and even all human races, should be equal in the eyes of the Buddha like other living beings in the world. Whether it is animals or plants, such as pigs, dogs, cows, sheep, grains, flowers and plants, etc. ”
But the prevailing view of right and wrong in the world today is nothing more than that harming others is evil, and helping others is good. But have you ever thought about it, this is just an evaluation standard within human beings, not necessarily the Buddha's. ”
Xiao Yue seemed to have some understanding, "Oh...... It's like two dogs biting and fighting for food, one bites the other, in the eyes of dogs it is evil, in the eyes of us humans, two dogs don't care about good or evil, both are for survival? ”
Xiao Rui patted his younger brother's brain: "It's finally enlightened." That's right, the god of man is God, but what about the god of God? Is it still a god? ”
God's God? Xiao Yue pondered this sentence.
Xiao Rui gave his younger brother a chestnut suddenly, "Don't take a dog as an example next time." Although many people in the world are no different from dogs......"
Xiao Yue stuck out his tongue and said, "Brother, what did you say just now that all living beings are equal, and now you claim to be human beings and look down on dogs, which is really hypocritical." ”
Xiao Rui laughed, "All beings are equal, that's what the Buddha said." Your brother and I can't cultivate the realm of the Buddha, so I'm still a layman. ”
"What about the little beggar? I saw his mother get better. Isn't it the manifestation of the Buddha? Xiao Yue asked the doubts in his heart.
Xiao Rui sneered: "You stupid, don't you know how to use your brain? The monks of the Great Xingshan Temple, taking advantage of the little beggar's worship of the Buddha, secretly sent someone to treat the mother and feed him a life-sustaining pill. It's all a trick they use to protect their reputation, do you think it's really the Buddha's apparition? If so, then why not just let the mother's illness disappear and be alive? Isn't it still lingering? ”
"Huh? Really? ”
"Of course it's true, I've sent someone to keep an eye on it from the beginning. Although the monks were hot and hidden, they could not escape the eyes and ears of the imperial court. I also diagnosed my mother, and I continued to live for a month, but in the end I couldn't save it. ”
"Huh? In this way, the little brother still has to be an orphan, so pitiful. ”
Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Yes, it's so pitiful." So like him, we who were born with fine clothes and food, and both parents are very content. In the future, you can honor your parents more. ”
Xiao Yue glanced at him and sneered: "Brother, what do you still say, why did you hide it from your father this time against Daxingshan Temple?" Aren't you afraid that your father will be angry if he finds out? This is a great unfilial piety......"
"You kid, what nonsense? I'm helping my dad get out of the pit, he burns incense and worships the Buddha all day long, it's the same as being deceived into reselling, I'm saving him......"
The two brothers fought all the way back to the Song State Mansion.
In Chang'an City, countless people are paying attention to the verdict in Chang'an County today, not because of the rarity of the Yamen's ascension, but because Xiao Rui participated. How many times has the experience let people know that whenever Xiao Rui participates in things, there are no small things.
"Did you hear that? The little beggar who worshiped the Buddha in Daxingshan Temple really succeeded in influencing the Buddha's manifestation, and his mother was cured by the Buddha......"
"Really? Constantly kowtowing to the Buddha, than seeing a doctor and taking medicine in Turin? ”
"Of course it's true, many people have seen it with their own eyes,"
was discussing it here, and someone next to him sneered, "Pull it down, what worship Buddha and ask God, all are liars." Chang'an County has just tried a fraud case, and the Yuandeng Temple and Shanlian Temple have joined forces to defraud all the family property of the rich man Liu. It is said that if you sincerely worship the Buddha, you can cure the disease by donating your family property. In the end, the rich man Liu had nothing left, and the others also died, but the scholar was miserable. ”
"Really? You're talking about Round Lantern Temple and Zenryonji Temple, and we're talking about Daheungseonji Temple, which is the largest royal temple and is said to be the most effective. ”
"Whew! You don't know yet, the host of the Yuandeng Temple is the personal disciple of the abbot of the Daxingshan Temple, the host of the Shanlian Temple, and also born in the Daxingshan Temple, and is the disciple of the previous abbot of the Daxingshan Temple, and the younger generation of the contemporary abbot. And they admitted in court that ninety percent of the money they had defrauded was handed over to Daxingshan Temple. ”
What???
"So, the little beggar's thing is a deliberate ghost of Daxingshan Temple? Knowing that the case of Yuandeng Temple and Shanlian Temple broke out, he was afraid that it would affect his reputation, so he deliberately made this one out to save his reputation? ”
"Needless to say? Definitely! ”
"Bah, what a special mother is despicable!"
"By the way, Chang'an County ruled the case, copied the Yuandeng Temple and Shanlian Temple, and ordered the return of all the scholar's family property. also posted a notice to let people claim the incense money that had been deceived before, saying that the funds were limited, first come, first served, until the end of the confession. ”
"What? Not earlier, Lao Tzu also donated a lot of money to Shanlian Temple yesterday to ask for a child......"
"Let's go, I donated five cents last year......"
……
For a time, the news of Chang'an County's distribution of money to the people spread throughout the city, and countless people flocked to the yamen to claim it.
Is Chang'an County busy? Is there that much money? Don't know about the confiscation of stolen money?
Of course not, this is Xiao Rui's poisonous plan, if you want the people of the whole city to actively participate in this public opinion, it is obviously not enough to fight a war of words with just one case. The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Direct payment of money can best mobilize the enthusiasm of the people, as long as the people support the recovery of the sesame oil money, then it will be much easier to destroy other temples next.
Because every time a temple is destroyed, a wave of money can be distributed, even if it is a penny for a common person? That's enough to buy two flax cakes.
What's even more vicious is that, as the hollow monk of Yuandeng Temple said, ninety percent of the money he collected was taken away by Daxingshan Temple, so this time Chang'an County copied not much, and the people couldn't share much. What should I do if I can't get a score later? Will it be resentful? To whom should the resentment be directed against? Is it Chang'an County?
Of course not, whoever takes his money resents him. Therefore, without the guidance and command of Chang'an County, many people spontaneously found Daxingshan Temple: Your mother, return the money!
