Song Siyuan noticed this, walked to the Buddha statue and guessed: "Could it be that this Buddha statue is fixed by something, and it can only rotate along something in the body?" ”

"Impossible."

Sun Daqiao stepped forward and carefully observed the flesh Buddha statue: "After the flesh Buddha takes out the internal organs, he will use the clay sculpture to restore the body, and then in order to show respect for the relics, it is not possible to move the knife on the body of the Buddha, and the Buddha statue cannot be fixed on the lotus platform, according to your meaning, if it is really fixed on the lotus platform, most of the flesh Buddha has an incision." ”

Sun Daqiao's words woke everyone up, and Yue Qingshan glanced at the Buddha statue around the Buddha statue: "Perhaps, this thing is not a Buddha statue at all, it's just a dead man who has been painted with gold paint, and he can't move left and right, so he can always move up and down." ”

Yue Guanchao comprehended, and several courtyards together to lift the body of the Buddha, as the Buddha statue was lifted into the air, a wrist-thick bronze pillar also appeared under the Buddha's body, like a bamboo shoot standing upward, about half a meter long, which also means that the body of the Buddha was pierced on it by the bronze spike in front of him.

After the flesh Buddha was lifted, Yue Guanchao and they put the seated Buddha statue on the ground, without the restraint of the bronze spire, the Buddha statue began to become crooked, and the wound at the root of the tail vertebrae was clearly visible.

"I said, it turned out that someone had skewered it."

Yue Guanchao looked near the wound, which was completely dry, not like Sun Daqiao said, it was completely a shell.

Sun Daqiao walked to the flesh Buddha Buddha, carefully observed the wound behind the tail vertebrae, and saw that the wound was obviously torn, and his clothes were also stained with thousands of years of blood because of the traces of struggle, and he suddenly realized in his heart: "It seems that I am still old, I have lost my eyes, I see that there are blood stains on my clothes, probably I was fixed on it before I was born." ”

"Alive?"

When everyone mentioned this, they took a deep breath, if they said that the physical body Buddha was molded after death, maybe they could not suffer anything, after all, they were fiddling with corpses, and they were living people before they were alive, which was equivalent to nailing a person to death on the lotus platform, and this alone was enough to give people goosebumps.

Sun Daqiao continued: "Yes, if it is molded into a physical Buddha after death, then there can be no traces of struggle, and there are traces of blood in the wound struggle, doesn't it mean that he struggled in his life? This cannot be disguised. ”

"Then, will Buddhism also use living people as physical Buddhas?"

Yue Erpao asked.

Sun Daqiao shook his head and said: "How is it possible, Buddhism is a flesh Buddha in order to preserve the remains of the monks, so that his remains can benefit more people, but not to torture the monks, most of them will start to do it after the monks pass away, and it is impossible to kill people when the monks are still alive." ”

He paused, and his tone became mysterious: "If it is generally speaking, letting a monk become a relic, is actually the final disposal of his corpse, which is a kind of conventional rule, which is like putting a person in a coffin and sealing the soil at the end of his life, which is basically another form of funeral custom." ”

"When a person is still alive, he is made into a physical Buddha, which is the same as being sealed in a coffin when he is still alive, it belongs to being buried alive and killed, and there is no good deed, if this is said, then this thing is not a physical Buddha, but is made into a physical Buddha to accompany the burial of the dead."

After Sun Daqiao finished guessing in his heart, Song Siyuan continued to add: "Since these are not physical Buddhas, it is very likely that they are just ordinary burials as he said, but why do you do this?" It also has to be covered in gold paint, which should at least make sense. ”

"Could it be that these people are not voluntarily becoming incarnate Buddhas, but monks who have been elected by the Jin people?"

Xu Xiake interjected and came in.

"Is this possible?"

Everyone asked.

"Indeed, this kind of thing happened in the Fayuan Temple in Xijing, Xijing used to be the capital of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the ancient temples of the Sui and Tang dynasties were all over the banks of the Fan River not far from Xijing, and some temples were good if the incense was strong, and the believers donated incense to add oil, and these monks could get by, if the temple incense was not good......"

If the temple incense is not good, the monks in the temple have to think of a way, since they are the sitting class, they are already out of production, they can't carry their shoulders and can't lift their hands, even if they can farm the land, the food in spring and autumn is not long, who can grow the rations for a few people.

Buddhist temples are not better than Taoist temples, Taoist people do not like believers to give alms, do not like believers to donate incense, more will plough the fields and grow vegetables for self-sufficiency, to do not trouble anyone for the original intention, never with the worldly more contaminated contact, if the Buddhist temple does not have the support of the people or believers, it will be very miserable, three days of starvation and nine meals are good, it is very likely, directly starved to death in the temple. 33

Some monks will deliberately create a lot of auspicious rays related to the Buddha in order to make incense to the believers, such as the lotus blooming overnight, or the lotus flower suddenly growing in the water tank, or the Buddha sheds tears, the Buddha statue is born, the backyard digs out the stone statue of the Buddha, and the eaves come out of the golden light...... In short, you must make your temple a little auspicious, so as to create the phenomenon of Buddha statues appearing, so as to attract believers and people to worship.

As long as people come, more or less will be almsgiving, and then after a few old monks to eliminate disasters and disasters, alarmist and alarmist for a while, peace charms, disaster elimination magic weapons are sold, then even if there is food to eat, for pilgrims, come in to pray to God and worship Buddha and do not want to come out of things, then it is the same as white incense, come to the Buddhist temple without donating incense and oil, who will bless you.

For them, whoever is useful will worship whom, whoever is famous will worship whom, whoever is effective will worship whom, as for the gods and Buddhas who are nameless and useless and not effective, even if the grass does not grow in the temple, it is good, and even the platform can be picked up.

If the people don't worship you, no matter how beautiful the golden body is, it has to be overgrown with weeds and cobwebs, and there are many temples in the countryside where there are no eaves, and the houses are collapsed.

That being said, these Buddha statues are gods, monks are not gods, they are living people, since they need to eat, drink, Lazar, clothing, food, shelter and transportation, they know that the things that the common people worship are just their own desires and delusions, as long as they satisfy these spiritual sustenance, the temple will not be extinguished.

The common people like the gods and Buddhas, and the temple is of course willing to create all kinds of auspicious things to cater to the greedy desires of the world.

In any case, working on dead things is still pediatric, and the most terrifying thing is the creation of a flesh Buddha.

The source of the incarnate Buddha is the great monk, such a monk, generally speaking, is a monk who has cultivated the Dharma, and spends all day practicing the Dharma, studying the scriptures, holding puja meetings, and talking about the Buddha's path.

This also means that ordinary temples, there is no physical body of the Golden Buddha at all, in other words, which Buddhist temple has a golden body Buddha, it means that the temple has achieved the right fruit of the monks, to go to such a temple to worship, it is more useful than to go to any rural village temple.

In order to ask for incense, the temple will artificially create a physical Buddha, as long as it can achieve the golden body is not bad, even if it is a real body relic, even if he was a greedy demon monk during his lifetime, after being molded into gold, he will become the "true Buddha" of all living beings.

Anyway, the people didn't come to worship his Buddha heart to learn, but they just worshiped their inner desires through the Golden Buddha!

They want to artificially create a golden body Buddha, which means that someone must die, these monks are mortal in the flesh, they can't even see through eating, drinking and enjoyment, how can they be willing to forget life and death, they are not willing to sacrifice their lives to be made into Buddha statues.

So what to do?

Buddhist temples need a golden body of Buddha to decorate the façade, these monks are unwilling, so they can only hit the idea on others, the temple will often give food and porridge as bait, begging beggars along the street into the temple.

These beggars are poor and short-minded, and their spirits are still sluggish, and they can't walk when they see food, and they think that the temple is very kind after being fooled, and they know that the temple has ulterior motives, and they have taken a fancy to his body and bones, and after the wine and food are served, the beggar has become confused, and when he heard that the monk was going to give him clothes, he immediately jumped into the bathtub to wash off the filth on his body.

These drinks and dishes have been poisoned, and when the poison strikes, the beggar will die.

After the beggar dies, the monks in the temple wash the body, shave off the hair and perm the ring scar, and then hollow out the internal organs and stitch them together, as long as the yellow clay is pasted to shape the Buddha statue, and then apply gold lacquer, it will become a golden Buddha in the flesh.

There is a saying that people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and although the old beggar is obscene, he shaves his ordination and wears a robe, which is similar to the relics of a real monk, or in other words, no matter how mediocre a person is, he will be painted with gold sooner or later.

Relying on these means, Fayuan Temple has built an unknown number of golden-bodied Buddhas, and in this way, the temple that has been neglected has been run by tens of millions of believers.

When the most scenery, as long as you enter the Daxiong Treasure Hall, you can see a row of golden flesh Buddha treasures solemnly arranged on the lotus platform, being beaten by candles, bluffing the believers to cry dad and call mother, kneeling and bowing, only to be blessed by the Buddha.

These believers don't know that what they worship is nothing more than beggars that no one notices!

In the past, when they knelt at the feet of the old lady and the old lady, they might not be able to get half a penny, but now they are dead and corpses, but they have suffered many good words and prayers, and kowtow sincerely.

Fakes can't be real, real things don't fake, since the flesh Buddha is a fake, sooner or later there will be a day when the East Window incident will happen.

On this day, the believers saw that there was a fat Buddha with a fat head and big ears on the shrine, and immediately bowed sincerely and offered sesame oil, but unexpectedly the heat in the hall dissolved the fat on the corpse, and the skin of the corpse swelled, and the Buddha body was cracked on the spot.

When the clay statue fell off, blood also flowed out of the corpse, and the hall was full of rot and filth.

Some people died, but not completely......
