Regarding the mission and responsibilities of the monks, Zhao Ran believes that the biggest problem of the monks is that they enjoy their rights, but they have not fulfilled their obligations, or they have only fulfilled part of their obligations.

"Do you have any good ideas?" asked Sima Tianshi.

"I went to Xixia for a year and a half, saw a lot, and felt a lot. After returning to the Ming Dynasty, I gradually came into contact with many architectural designs on the upper floor of my Daomen, learned about the relationship between the pavilion, the jungle of the Ten Directions and the government, and understood the most important credibility of my Daomen. In my opinion, the absorption of my Daming's credibility is far from enough, or it cannot be adapted to the size of my Daming's population. ”

"Taking the 20 years of Jiajing as an example, the annual credit absorption value recorded in the credibility book is 1.2 billion. I heard Wang Wusen, the Taoist chief of Longhu Mountain, say that the value of the trust absorption in Western Xia is about 220 million, and that in Tibet it is 180 million. I have preliminarily calculated that the population of the Ming Dynasty was about 110 million, which is equivalent to 11 gui per capita, the population of Western Xia was about 15 million, nearly 15 gui per capita, and the population of Tibet was 8 million, or nearly 22 gui per capita. ”

From this, it can be inferred that in fact, the credibility absorption value of Daming can still have a lot of room for improvement. What's the problem with this disparity? In my opinion, a big part of the reason is because of the difference in the evangelistic system. ”

Song Tianshi couldn't help but interject and asked, "What do you mean, is the preaching method of the Buddhist temple better?"

Zhao Ran smiled: "Song Tianshi wait a minute, I'll explain slowly." The main body of my sermon is the Ten Directions Jungle, but as I have just said, the laymen of the Ten Directions Jungle go out to preach, and there are more fake ones than they are real, and they are better spoken than sung, and I have made many false ones myself. Let me ask you, after many years, the common people know that the Daomen's Zhaijiao rituals are useless, so will he still believe you? Even if he believes on the surface, what about his heart? Therefore, in my opinion, the credibility of our Daomen is gradually losing ......"

Speaking of this, Zhao Ran gave everyone a moment to digest, and then gave an example: "How did the many inexplicable sects that plague us now, such as the Eight Immortals Sect and Manichaeism, appear? The position is there, and if we don't occupy it, we will inevitably be occupied by others!"

The true masters savored his words about the "position" and pondered carefully, while Zhao Ran continued: "On the other hand, in Western Xia and Tibet, there are a large number of practicing monks in their Buddhist temples. Their sadhana, not all, but at least one or two out of ten times will really solve the problem! That's enough!"

"Just now Song Tianshi asked me what I should do? My suggestion, in fact, this is very easy to do, a simple one, learn Buddhism!"

As soon as these words came out, several true masters were not very happy, and their brows furrowed slightly.

Zhao Ran explained: "Rest assured, the study I am talking about is not to take it all and copy it, let alone to break the existing preaching system of the pavilion and the Ten Directions Jungle, because there is no need to break it at all. The system we are currently implementing has been in operation for 600 years, ensuring that our Ming Dynasty has always been prosperous, and our Daomen has always been based in the Central Plains without defeat, which shows that this system has many advantages and is suitable on the whole. Therefore, what we need to do is just a small change, take out one of the Ten Directions Jungle Pavilion that seems to me to be a very weak Taoist position, and let the monks who are willing to come out to do things take it, and that is enough. ”

Song Tianshi of the Kyushu Pavilion asked: "Which Taoist position is it?" The Kyushu Pavilion is in charge of the credibility of the world, and he is extremely concerned about anything that improves the credibility value, and when he heard Zhao Ran talk about this issue at this moment, he couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Ran said with a smile: "It is the position of abbot that Xiaodao is holding now. ”

Obviously, Song Tianshi was very interested in this, and urged, "You go on. ”

Zhao Ran said: "Xiaodao, I have served as the Jing Lord, the Fang Lord, the Temple Zhu, the Governor and even the Abbot in Guyang County, and I have a deep feeling for the decision-making system of the Ten Directions Jungle. In my opinion, there is a big problem with this system, which is the lack of clarity of power and responsibility between the abbot and the prison. ”

"The Sandu Deliberation is the decision-making mechanism of the Ten Jungles, and the Prison Yuan leads the Sandu to jointly decide major matters, and if the decision cannot be passed, it will be submitted to the abbot for adjudication. In fact, when the prestige of the prison is not enough, it is difficult to discuss major matters, because the prison court plus three has a total of four votes, and it is easy to form a two-to-two confrontation, so that the abbot will decide with one word. In the case of a strong control of the prison court, the abbot often becomes an ornament, because everything is decided during the deliberations of the three capitals, and nothing needs to be decided by the abbot. It is precisely because of the existence of this system that in many of the Ten Directions Jungle Palace, the abbot and the prison are seriously incompatible, the infighting is very strong, and the internal friction is extremely serious. ”

"Therefore, my idea is to clarify the functions of the abbot and the prison court, give the abbot new responsibilities, and let the abbot lead the major fasting and Jiao rituals, maintain the sacred status of our Daomen in the hearts of the world, restore the people's faith in the Daomen, and thus increase the absorption of credibility. The rest of the secular affairs are still the responsibility of the prison. ”

At the same time, following the general example, the abbot is also counted in the deliberations of the three capitals, so that there are five votes, three to two, and it is easy to make a decision when encountering major events, and both the abbot and the prison can play a role in it. ”

After Zhao Ran finished talking, Song Tianshi nodded and demanded that this strategy be approved immediately in the True Master Hall.

Zhao Ran couldn't help but be embarrassed, and said in his heart that he had just said the general idea, and he must have to go through many links such as research, feedback, summary, consideration, drafting, etc., to form specific measures with operability, so that he could submit them to the True Master Hall for resolution, right?

Song Tianshi also came to his senses and understood that he was in a hurry, so he didn't say more.

After Zhao Ran finished speaking, the true masters of the True Master Hall pondered and carefully recalled.

After a while, Zhang Yunyi said: "Da Zhenren, what you mean by the old, we understand, Zhiran's thinking is very inspiring, we will think of a way to go back, and strive not to disappoint Da Zhenren." Regarding the culpability of Jing Zhimo, how to deal with it, please also ask the real person to show it. ”

Zhang Laodao waved his hand and said: "I haven't taken care of the affairs of the True Master Hall for almost a hundred years, what I said may not be right, if it is serious, please forgive me." Old Dao, I just spit out what I said just now, and forget what I said, as well as Zhang Yangming and Shen Yunjing, don't worry about the two of you, don't pick and don't do it at every turn. ”

The two hurriedly said: "Don't dare!

"Alright, put your hat on. I just complained, how did it become like this, I remember the old way when I quit back then, it wasn't like this, it's really uncomfortable. ”

"Yes, please forgive me!"

"How to deal with this matter of Jing Zhimo, and how to rectify the next view, it is up to you to decide in the end. Go back and discuss for yourselves what to do about this. Okay, let's carry the kid surnamed Jing out, and Zhao Zhiran, you also go out first, the two things in the True Master Hall have been discussed, and now it's my turn to do things. ”
