Chapter 170: Crime of Trafficking
Human beings are so smart.
Smart enough to think one day, who am I? Where does it come from? Where to go? What should I do?
These questions cannot circumvent the concept of "I" in any case.
Buddhist thought, like Taoist thought, is the philosophical exploration of heaven and earth and "I" by wise people in ancient times.
Why does "I" think? How does "I" think? "who I am? Who am I"?
It can be said to be an initial form of philosophy.
But Taoism and Buddhism are not, or religions are not.
The purpose of religion is to continue the interests of religion and the religious upper class!
Theravada Buddhism aims at "self-improvement and liberation", which is a way of practice. If there were no Mahayana Buddhism, Hinayana Buddhism would probably be a secret sect that plays with itself behind closed doors.
Relatively speaking, Theravada Buddhism also has entry barriers, such as being able to read, think, ask questions, and summarize. The most important thing is to have time to think about these every day.
There are very few such people.
Mahayana Buddhism advocates helping all sentient beings achieve liberation and happiness through the Bodhisattva path and compassion and wisdom.
It was precisely because of Mahayana Buddhism that Buddhism flourished in the Central Plains.
Because life is difficult for everyone, especially for people at the bottom.
They need constant mental comfort to numb their thoughts.
The red cloud travels throughout the world, and the Buddha's kingdom does not exist. Naturally, it is not found that the Buddha can help all sentient beings to escape suffering.
In the more than a thousand years since the birth of Buddhism, all sentient beings are still suffering, and nothing has changed.
It is one thing to have the ability to shout to save sentient beings but not to do it. It is even more stupid to cry out to save all sentient beings without the ability.
He came to this conclusion from the history and reality he saw.
Mahayana Buddhism is a lie.
"Based on the above, the old monk said that Mahayana Buddhism is a lie. It's just that those senior monks are better off eating this bowl of rice." Zen Master Hongyun said sarcastically.
In the team channel.
Wang Jinjue: "Damn it, Zichen, is this monk a bad guy?"
Zhang Zichen: "It feels like a fanatic who goes crazy and becomes a demon after his faith is shattered."
Wang Jinjue: "This world is so special..."
Zhang Zichen added: "Crazy Biduo."
"Old monk has been going west, but has he ever been to Europe? Everyone there believes in Western religion." Tang Yan asked.
"I've seen it before."
"Has the old monk ever seen Western scriptures?" Tang Yan asked again.
"I've seen it before."
"I've seen the indulgence as well."
"certainly."
"Does the old monk know what is the most profitable thing to sell in the world?"
"Buy low, sell high, you can make money with anything, but rare things make more money. Wait, could it be..." Hong Yun suddenly thought of something, put down her chopsticks and said:
"crime?"
"Yes. The most profitable people in the world are those who traffic in sin. This is true of Western religions, the same is true of Buddhism, the same is true of Taoism, and the same is true of most other sects."
"Ha... hahaha~ It's really a thin layer of window paper, thank you Tan Yue for your advice." Hongyun first laughed softly, then laughed loudly, and finally laughed with tears coming out, and then said:
"You are guilty, so naturally you have to pay to wash away your sins. How wonderful!"
Wang Jinjue and Zhang Zichen were confused after hearing this. They had also learned about the indulgences. How could it be related to Buddhism and Taoism? When such a devil met Captain Dian Lao, he felt like he was going to be infected by him, making him crazy and crazy.
This is actually the underlying logic of religion.
Suppose there is a person whose parents died of illness, his wife and children died of illness, and he is left alone. At this time, someone told him that this was the result of his sins in his previous life.
So does he believe it or not?
He probably believed it because he was tortured by the suffering and sorrow of life and lost his ability to judge.
Because he would rather die and suffer than his family to suffer.
This is the initial missionary work, which only uses other people's tragic past and their desire to save themselves.
Unfortunately, this will only get deeper and deeper, because it will not solve the problem, it will only deceive and paralyze yourself.
Spend the rest of your life ignorantly and numbly.
When your heart is numb, you will naturally not feel the pain!
Western religion preaches that man is sinful, and that’s it. In the 21st century, it is essentially a crime to promote others' lack of democracy and freedom.
"Monks don't tell lies, but they turn out to be lies everywhere! Wonderful, really wonderful!" Hongyun seemed to have an epiphany, beaming with joy. He took a bite of chicken intestines, and the dipping sauce dripped on his beard, but he didn't care.
"The confused person turns to the Lotus, and the enlightened person turns to the Lotus. The old monk cannot eat your vegetarian meal in vain. If there is anything you need help with, the young monk is still capable and can do it easily."
"Seriously?" Tang Yan looked him over.
"really!"
"I'm going to cause trouble for Zhu Houcong. Are you here to help?"
"Who is Zhu Houcong? He sounds like he is a relative of the emperor."
"It's Jiajing."
"Ahem..." Hongyun choked on her food.
"Why are you looking for him?" Hongyun asked.
"This world is difficult, and it has much to do with him."
"Jiajing Jiajing, every house is clean. Tan Yue is braver!" Hongyun sighed with emotion at first, and then asked: "Does Tan Yue have a plan?"
"Go in through the front door and blow him up."
"..." Hongyun looked at Tang Yan carefully to make sure that Tang Yan was not joking, and then said: "Tan Yue is so courageous and can do so much!"
"A monk like you, are you scared?"
"It's ridiculous. What is there for me to fear? Even if the gods and Buddhas are in front of me, I will ask."
"Is there a possibility that the gods and Buddhas will beat you to death when they see you?"
"..." Hongyun was choked.
After a while, he said, "That's because I haven't practiced enough and didn't beat them to death!"
Tang Yu and his friends were eating hot pot, while Zuo Qianhu was waiting to see the emperor.
Jinyiwei is the emperor's personal guard, which can be said to be the emperor's direct military force. He used to be the commander of Jinyiwei and could meet the emperor at any time.
At that time, Emperor Jiajing had just ascended the throne, and he looked ambitious, which made him see the hope of the Ming Dynasty's revival.
As a result... the emperor did not attend court and was always cultivating immortals.
He was demoted to Qianhu after many twists and turns.
He once thought that these Taoists had bewitched the emperor and made his wise emperor disappear. But he had experienced so much and had long understood that the emperor had changed his mind.
"Zuo Qianhu, you'd better go back. The emperor is practicing and won't see outsiders." Eunuch Liu said to Zuo Qianhu expressionlessly.
Zuo Qianhu naturally knew what Jiajing was practicing. It was nothing more than some dual cultivation techniques such as "taking yin to replenish yang, climbing bows and stepping on crossbows, rubbing the navel to pass the qi, using prescriptions to prepare, burning grass and beating cauldrons, adding red lead, refining autumn stone, and taking women's milk."
And he finally became an outsider, and most things in the world are like this.
I originally wanted to shine my heart on Mingyue, but Mingyue didn't pay any attention to you at all.
He walked out of the palace lonely, only feeling that the palace was full of luxury, but it was very dark.
Really dark.
Selling crimes makes the most money, but I can't make that money, I'm jealous and sour.
