Chapter 458: Playing "Careful Thinking" Before the Decisive Battle
Last time, it was said that the two warring sides each cast spells to summon the "gods" of the upper realm to participate in the war, but they were unable to do so because of too much involvement of all parties, and in the end they were scolded by Buddhism.
“でたらめ! 黙れ! 何がごちゃごちゃしているの? まったくでたらめだ? 同盟の主なものはこの戦いで勝つことで、shakehandsではない! あなたの、わかりますか? 一群のハゲロバ、ばかが迂闊で、人を惑わす、その心は殺せる! 消えろ! さっさと消えろ! 俺に見せないで! さもなくば、あなたの死んだ! Said angrily
"Nonsense! Shut up! What mess? Nonsense? The main thing of this alliance is to win this battle, not to shake hands and make peace! Yours, understand? A group of bald donkeys, bastards are pedantic, and their hearts can be punished! Get lost! Get out of here! Don't let Lao Tzu see it! Otherwise, yours are dead and dead! ”
"Amitabha, sin, Colloquial saying, '薬医不死病、仏度有縁人'という雲がある。 施主は私の仏に帰依したくないし、戦言和もやめたくない以上、私の仏家のdiscipleが身を伝えて教えるのに大きな不利は、実は私の仏とは縁がない! いわゆる'道は違って、互いに謀らない'。 無益と多く言って、貧僧は辞去する。 施主はよく自ずから。 Amitabha, good, good. The monks of the Wa Kingdom are concerned about their own "nun partners", which is to the effect:
"Amitabha, sin and sin. As the saying goes, 'medicine does not die of disease, and Buddha is destined for people'! Since the donor is neither willing to take refuge in my Buddha, nor willing to stop fighting and making peace, it is very disadvantageous for my Buddhist disciples to teach by word and deed, and they really have nothing to do with my Buddha! The so-called 'different ways do not conspire with each other'. It is useless to say more, and the poor monk takes his leave. The donor is self-conscious. Amitabha, good, good. The "monks" and "nuns" of the Wa Kingdom had already judged that the battle would be defeated through "his heart", so they left.
In fact, Buddhists are required to follow the "five precepts", namely, not to kill, not to steal, not to commit adultery, not to lie, and not to drink alcohol. Buddhism believes that this kind of immoral behavior should be strictly prohibited, otherwise it will increase karma and produce magic wands, which is not conducive to Buddhist practice, because cultivating Buddha is cultivating the mind, so it is called the "five precepts".
However, after Buddhism was introduced to Japan, it was made "unserious" due to the influence of the environment, and the initial reason was that the composition of the monk team was too complicated.
As early as the Sui Dynasty in China at the end of the 6th century, Buddhism had already spread from the Korean Peninsula to Japan with the sporadic "walking monks", and developed rapidly in a short period of time. The enthusiasm of the Japanese people to participate in Buddhism was quite high, not because they all had "wisdom roots", but because of the decision of the Japanese ruling at that time, because during the same period, the Japanese began to implement the "Dahua Reform", systematically learned from the Tang Dynasty, and implemented a tax system called "Bantian Collection and Granting Law".
The idea of a "Wa King" was good, but because the agricultural productivity of the Wa Kingdom at that time was not good, it would quickly become unbearable if the tax rate of the Tang Dynasty of China were directly copied to the Wa Kingdom, and the Buddha-worshipping "Wa Wang" (Emperor Suiko) decreed that "monks should be exempt from taxes". After such a move, those people who are not highly conscious want to become monks. As a result, the Japanese court paid a significant reduction in taxes, and the state apparatus did not function smoothly, so it could only rely on the army to maintain the situation.
As a result, the great generals who held military power took the opportunity to launch a "mutiny", ousted the "Wa King" from power, put himself and his staff in power, established the "Kamakura Shogunate", and "coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes". In the 8th century, when Goguryeo envoys visited the Wa Kingdom, they saw the spectacle of "monks and nuns half the world".
In such a large group of monks, of course, there are many people who abuse the number of monks, and it is normal for a large number of "monks" with impure motives to drink and eat meat in the monastery. The so-called "full of warmth and lust", and "monks and nuns sleeping together, men and women are happy" is an unavoidable thing. Therefore, when the nuns of the Japanese kingdom conceived a child, they went home to give birth, and when the baby was finished, they came back to continue chanting Buddha (avoiding taxes). Except for shaving his head, this kind of monk does not look like a "monk" at all.
Among the monks of the "second generation of officials", the one who is the most out of the circle is the "Master Ichikyu Sojun" ("Ichishu Brother") in the "Kamakura Shogunate" era. This super "kawaii" (cute) little monk in the impression of later generations is not pure at all when he grows up, lingers in brothels and wine shops all day long, and writes a lot of fragrant poems (obscene poems) openly praising his love life with a blind girl, the content is numb and warm, which can be called "Little Yellow Book".
If you ask him why he dares to be so out of the circle? The answer is that the "wise Ikyu" was the prince of the "Emperor of Heaven", that is, the "Emperor Komatsu"), but because in the political struggle, after the Emperor of Japan ("Emperor of Japan") lost power, the whole family was driven to the temple by the shogun to practice.
And as a golden branch and jade leaf, the "Yixiu brother" was so miserable, from the "prince" was forced to become a "monk", and then used the "precepts" to require the "prince monk" to abide by all kinds of "pure heart and few desires" It doesn't seem to be very "humane", after all, "this life is happy, don't think about it", since it does not threaten the rule of the "shogunate", then it is just that.
In fact, whether ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, there are many strange things in this world. In Chinese society, it is estimated that since ancient times, it is estimated that there is no such thing as a "monk" or a "nun" deliberately marrying a "husband and wife", because this is a "taboo in Buddhism", and it is also completely inconsistent with the requirements of Buddhism in the secular world.
However, there is really such a wonderful country in the world - the Wa Kingdom, where the "monks" living here can not only marry the "nuns" and have children and inherit the family business, but also do not even have to pay the "poll tax". In this way, Buddhism in Japan became a completely secular "religion" and became an industrial organization.
So why can the Japanese do this? In fact, this has to start from the "Prohibition on Eating Meat and Wives" promulgated by the "Meiji New Government" of the Wa King in 1872, which clearly declared: "In the future, whether monks grow hair, marry wives, have children, or eat wine and meat, they will obey their own ......", but the only bad side is that the government will no longer give any subsidies to temples in various places.
The ban was ostensibly a decree to "liberate" the monks, but in fact, its real purpose was to break the "Danjia system" (i.e., "one family, one patriarchy") and completely dilute the influence of Buddhism among the people.
From then on, not only the "Pure Land Shinshu" but all monks in Japan were no longer required to obey the "prohibitions" of "not marrying wives" and "not eating meat". Up to now, although many monks can play with women, eat meat and drink wine, their work has not delayed anything. This is probably also related to the Japanese people's carefulness and steadfastness.
Of course, this may be because the Japanese government wants more people to recognize this view, because the Japanese nation itself is very respectful of nature and human nature, and does not want to be bound by this, so Buddhist children can marry wives, have children, and do business like normal people.
Therefore, it is normal for a "monk" to "marry a nun" and live a mortal married life. However, some people say that Japanese Buddhism deteriorated when it was introduced, despised the precepts, and emphasized convenience over principles, just like a fruit, once it began to rot, it will only get worse and worse.
According to the person in charge of the legal department of Japan's "Senju-in" in later generations, the monk Kume Chihui told reporters that there is no distance between Buddhism and ordinary people, and people gain peace and improvement of their hearts through Buddhist activities. "Monk" and "nun" are professions in Japan, it is a personal choice, because his father is a "monk" who runs a temple, and his mother is a "nun", he is also considered to be a "son inheriting his father's business" and will continue to marry a "nun" as his wife and practice in the same temple.
Many people in the international community have complained about this system, but some people think that it is acceptable, after all, it is a civilized society now, and it is not surprising that Japanese people are very open. However, there are also some people who believe that this situation is insulting to the majesty of Buddhism, and that it is contrary to the "six purities" and "four emptiness" upheld by the "monks".
Therefore, the "Oriental monk" imagined by later generations is definitely different, because it is difficult to guarantee that he will not wear a robe and pedal straw shoes to pick up girls with a smile.
"Oriental monks" are divided into various types, such as "Shinkyau", "Buddhism", "Zen Christianity", and so on. It is said that there were about 112 million followers of Shinkyo (Fuso Shintoism), 27 million Buddhists, 9 million Zen believers, and 1.4 million Christians. In other words, almost all Japanese people are religious!
The Japanese people adopt a tolerant attitude towards religious beliefs, and there are many people who practice more than two religions. In many "shrines", "temples", "churches", "temples of worship", and even in families, "shrines", "Buddhist altars", "statues", "crosses" and so on will be enshrined side by side, similar to China's "three religions in one".
After all, the "fake monks" of the Oriental island countries are different from the "real monks" of the "Chinese Shangbang", but it is not excluded that some "lay disciples" who are not firm in their beliefs will secretly violate the precepts, for example, there are rumors on the Internet that the monks of the "Dengfeng Shaolin Temple" have eaten a large bowl of meat and drank, while some other so-called "traveling monks" also took photos and found hiding in the box while eating "dog meat hot pot" and singing karaoke. In addition to drinking alcohol and eating meat, Oriental monks can also marry and buy real estate.
In contrast, it was revealed on the Internet that the "Shaolin Temple" was also registered as a "corporate legal person" by the abbot, and brought it "global attention" and "huge benefits" that have not been seen for thousands of years, and even the American news media called him "the most astute CEO", and many "marketing magazines" even called the "Shaolin Temple" "a temple marketing miracle", but the abbot said: "I am not commercializing the Shaolin Temple, I am using commercialization to prevent the Shaolin Temple from being commercialized." ”
Because most of the monasteries in the Waguo Kingdom are managed and inherited by the "family", there are many monks who simply stay at home and "take local materials", so they form a couple with the "nuns" to live and fly together, while cultivating yin and yang and reproducing offspring, while inheriting the family business and promoting Buddhism, it is really a career and love!
If in China and some Southeast Asian countries, if there are bald monks in robes and delicate beauties in the moon, then it is not strange that netizens complain about taking pictures of "bald donkeys", searching for human flesh, and being scolded by the public for being bloody, and even scolded to the point that "one Buddha is born, and two Buddhas are nirvana"?
However, Japanese monks advocate "pragmatism", "naturalism", "freedom of individuality" and "emancipation of human nature", after all, "cultivating Buddhism" is "cultivating the mind", so there is nothing wrong with "wine and meat passing through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart". This is different from the abstinence of Chinese monks and Indian ascetics, and it is not easy to talk about it.
Even in the years when their livelihoods were struggling and their livelihoods were exhausted, people generally did not have enough to eat, and in order to survive, monks and nuns had to huddle together to keep warm, and it was understandable that there was a "marriage". Consult the ancient Japanese poems and learn: "The female hungry ghost in the temple is as thin as firewood." The great god is a hungry ghost, and he is worthy of giving birth to a child. ”
Of course, Japanese "monks" are also divided into two types: "home" and "monk", which is similar to the degree of temple shaving and home practice of Chinese "monks". In addition to personal religious beliefs, chanting morning classes, and promoting Buddhism, ordinary daily activities such as eating, living, and accompanying family members are qualitatively not much different from the "laity" who "fall into the red dust", because only by devoting themselves to the "red dust" can they become enlightened in the "red dust".
What's more, the branch of Buddhism in Japan, "Tantra", does not abstain from lust, and the basis of belief in China's "Tibetan Buddhism" in the treatment of "dual cultivation of men and women" is also highly consistent, because they all absorb the "great happiness" ideas and practices of the Hindu "sexual power school", so Buddhism in Japan has moved from abstinence to indulgence.
In fact, whether in India or in China, many "tantric" "Zen rooms" are enshrined in the little-known "Joy Buddha" twin clay sculpture stone sculptures, and it is no secret that various mating poses of human beings are spread naked, and it is no secret that Japanese "shrine maidens" have introduced them into their own "totem worship".
Chinese Buddhism requires disciples to "three abstinences", but there are many examples of Japanese "monks" and "nuns" talking about marriage and being romantic, including "smart monks" who are also very suave, and have savored the private feelings of men and women. Say goodbye to pillows, children's knees, and the clouds and rain in the middle of the night are about three lives. Even, Ikyu's master "Master Engo" has a lot of "lovers".
Those Japanese women have come to visit the "Master of Yuanwu" many years later, wanting to relive the dream of the former mandarin mandarin, but after all, the master is old and physically exhausted, so he is helplessly forced, to be honest: "Thirty years ago, there was a total of one head, and one head talked about romance every night." Now the old man is useless, and the gentleman's magnanimity is my softness. ”
How did Japanese monks and nuns fall in love in later generations? That's a good question. Many Japanese monks work part-time and serve in various jobs in society, such as mechanical engineers, film directors, business owners, experts and scholars, university professors, animation painters, and writers.
Of course, Japanese monks and nuns also go to "shrines" and "temples" to spend their time at "shrines" and "temples" during anniversaries such as public memorials, New Year's ceremonies, weddings, 100 days of childbirth, and even drivers' licenses. For example, some "monks" and "nuns" will go to TV stations to be hosts, give lectures or hold exhibitions as male and female partners, and so on.
In the eyes of the Japanese, of course, this is "promoting Buddhism," but there is no rigid teaching in the form. If those young monks with strong blood and vigor have an admiration for a certain young beauty, they may use mobile phone text messages, emails, and MSN to express their admiration.
However, in the eyes of the Chinese Buddhist community, the Japanese monk's move is tantamount to breaking the third precept of Buddhism at the time of "shaving", that is, "lewdness". For 2,000 years, the precepts generally followed by Chinese Buddhism are "one is not to kill, two is not to steal, three is not to commit adultery, four is not to lie, and five is not to drink alcohol".
These "five precepts" should be observed by both "traveling monks" and "abbot monks". Although there is a saying on the Internet: "Mrs. Shi, you just leave my old man today." Otherwise, where did the little monk come from! Can you hold it? Obviously, this situation is more suitable for the Japanese Buddhist community, after all, there is a difference between China and other countries.
No wonder someone once asserted: "Which man is not in love, and which girl is not pregnant with spring?" What teenager doesn't bother? Actually, it's all human nature.
From ancient times to the present, Japanese monks have married and had children, I wonder if they are allowed by the spirit of the Buddha in the sky? Presumably, if my Buddha comes to "be compassionate and compassionate", he will definitely be able to achieve the good of others; And the smiling Maitreya Buddha has a big belly that can tolerate the things that the world cannot tolerate, and it should not be counted compared to Japanese monks and nuns.
Therefore, if we carefully scrutinize, perhaps the third rule in the "Five Precepts for Monks", "not to commit sexual immorality", should be interpreted separately in order to justify itself in Japanese Buddhist circles: the word "evil" is usually interpreted as "evil and crooked", while "lewdness" is "excessive pursuit". Therefore, Japanese monks oppose adultery between men and women, but occasional cheating does not count.
This is why, in the second blockade, the "Buddha Cultivator" of the Wa Kingdom saw that the situation was not good, and immediately slipped away, after all, he still had a family business, and his wife and concubine couldn't give up!
