Rise From the Humble

"I couldn't get any more angry, so I went to Baiyun Temple for the theory. They said that some bullshit eminent monk Manjusri was the one who set it up. What a bullshit eminent monk actually said that my uncle had already fallen into the trap of shouting about beatings and killings. "Devil's way"

When the little maid Baozi talked about it, her little face turned red with anger, her delicate body trembled, and she was so angry.

In fact, the signboard of Baiyun Temple was erected by the monks only last night.

Yesterday, the eminent monk Master Manjusri held a Buddhist Dharma meeting at Baiyun Temple. Many believers came and the Dharma meeting went smoothly. However, after the Dharma meeting ended, Master Wenshu and the abbot and deacon of Baiyun Temple were having fruit tea while discussing Buddhism. At that time, a deacon from Baiyun Temple said that a nearby Taoist temple had suddenly become more popular recently. Many people who swayed between Buddhism and Taoism and even some Buddhist believers also went to the Taoist temple to participate in their celebration of Master Cihang. The enlightened Hongdao Zhaijiao.

Speaking of this, one monk said that Zhu Ping'an's article "Kneeling before the Buddha for Three Thousand Years" was the cause of the trouble, which resonated with many monks.

This article suddenly spread in the capital in the past two days, especially in religious circles and literary circles.

But the eminent monk Master Manjusri didn't know that he had been in retreat to participate in Buddhist Dharma performances in preparation for this Buddhist Dharma Assembly a few days ago. This was the first time he had heard of Zhu Pingan's "Kneeling before the Buddha for Three Thousand Years".

The eminent monk Manjusri couldn't help but feel a little strange when the deacon of Baiyun Temple said that the peak of incense in the temple was caused by Zhu Ping'an's "kneeling in front of the Buddha for three thousand years".

"Amitabha... Kneel before the Buddha for Three Thousand Years... Judging from the name, this is a young man with a Buddha heart." The eminent monk Manjusri clasped his hands together, took the Buddha's name, and made a slightly confused comment.

How can Master Manjusri not be confused? The title of Zhu Ping'an's article is "Kneeling before the Buddha for three thousand years. Kneeling before the Buddha lasts for three thousand years. What a child with the heart and nature of the Buddha. Why do you still say that his article is a Taoist temple?" What is the source of trouble for the incense boom?

After listening to Master Manjusri's words, the monks in Baiyun Temple all looked as if they had swallowed flies in their throats and felt uncomfortable.

In the end, the abbot of Baiyun Temple clasped his hands and shook his head with a wry smile, "Amitabha, Master Manjusri doesn't know something. This article "Kneel before the Buddha for Three Thousand Years" is completely different in appearance and appearance. The old monk has been meditating for more than fifty years. Yes, but after reading this article, Bodhi Mirror can’t help but become dusty.”

"oh?"

When the eminent monk Master Manjusri heard this, he couldn't help but be even more puzzled. This article "Kneel before the Buddha for Three Thousand Years" actually made the master abbot in charge loose his Zen mind.

"Alas... Master will know as soon as he sees it." The abbot of Baiyun Temple smiled bitterly, took out a wrinkled rice paper from under the futon and handed it to Master Manjusri.

"Then let the poor monk see how sacred this "Kneel before the Buddha for Three Thousand Years" is." Master Manjusri reached out to take the rice paper handed over by the abbot of Baiyun Temple, straightened his body and said, he was very interested in Zhu Pingan's article. .

"I have knelt before the Buddha for three thousand years, but he has never felt pity for me. The Buddha's eyes are not covered by dust, it is because he has not offered incense or money. If the Buddha is not greedy, why does he want the world to worship him? If the Buddha does not love vanity, why does he want the world to kneel down and worship... "

Master Manjusri read aloud while watching. Master Manjusri has long been practiced in reciting Buddhist teachings, and his voice is full of magnetism and appeal.

When reading the first sentence, Master Manjusri's face showed a smile of equality for all beings. When he read the second sentence, the smile of lifelong equality on Master Wenshu's face disappeared. When he read further, Master Wenshu's voice became louder and louder. He is getting younger and younger, and his emotions are getting more and more excited, and there is even a trace of fear on his face.

Later, while reading, Master Manjusri shook his head and made an emotional comment, "In the years of troubled times, the Buddha: closed the mountain gate and did not care about worldly affairs. The Tao: led the people out of the mountain and hung pots to help the world. In the peaceful and prosperous times, the Buddha: universally saved all sentient beings. World people. Tao: Go back to the mountains and forests to understand the Taoism... Absurd, ridiculous, far-fetched..."

"Foreign pagan religions corrupt people's hearts and trap money and food. They should be killed! You don't see the Buddha delivering people, you only see the Buddha plated with gold. You should be destroyed! You don't see the monks eating fast and chanting sutras, but you only see bald donkeys wearing gold and silver. You should be killed! Ugh! You bald donkey. You still dare to confuse the public with your lies and spread the evil methods of foreign pagans in the Taoist temple. Do you really think that I have no one in China? Look at the Taoist demolishing your temple and smashing the golden body! Give me a bright future in China!"

By the time he saw the last part, Master Manjusri could no longer recite it, and he could only read the last part with a serious and indignant face.

"Amitabha... Heaven is merciless, all living beings suffer, and I am willing to rise and fall with the six desires of the mortal world! Zhu Pingan 'killed' one by one, and 'destroyed' another. He also threatened to push down temples and smash golden bodies. Such cruelty shows that he has become a demon. It is difficult to extricate oneself. In order to avoid deepening this demonic karma, and to prevent the monks and believers in our temples from encountering any accidents, the poor monk suggested that all temples should not welcome Zhu Ping'an. If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell, Amitabha, and so on Let the poor monk alone bear the bad reputation."

The eminent monk Master Manjusri took up a Buddha's name and said it with a precious look on his face, and his words were peaceful and uncontested.

"It's so good, so good... Master Manjusri's move is comparable to that of Buddha feeding an eagle." The abbot of Baiyun Temple praised.

The abbot of Baiyun Temple highly praised Master Manjusri's actions. In just a few days, Zhu Ping'an's article had revealed its negative impact on Buddhism. In just a few days, the incense in the Taoist temple opposite had increased by 30%. There are many more believers.

Although the impact on Baiyun Temple is not obvious yet, the abbot has a long-term view. This article has only been circulated for a few days and is limited to the capital. If this article spreads widely for a long time, what impact will it have on the entire Buddhism? But it’s big.

If left alone, I am afraid the result will be worse, with the loss of believers, and it may even affect the fate of Buddhism.

This kind of passionate fan-like article is most likely to mislead the masses who have little ability to discern.

As for the consequences of doing so?

I heard that Zhu Ping'an is a scholar and a sixth-grade official. He must have many scruples and will not do anything like the gangsters in the market.

At most, send a message or argue aggressively.

But it would be best if Zhu Ping'an could come to debate Buddhism and Taoism.

When it comes to debate, Buddhism has never been afraid of anyone. Buddhism attaches great importance to debate, and many of the mysteries of Buddhism can be understood through mutual debate. Didn’t the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, which lasted for thousands of years, end with the complete defeat of Taoism in the previous dynasty? Taoism was disgusted with Taoism and was defeated in two debates in the 8th year of Xianzong's reign and the 18th year of Zhiyuan Dynasty, causing the imperial court to order the burning of Taoist scriptures twice. From then on, Taoism gradually declined and Buddhism flourished.

If Zhu Pingan came to argue, the influence of Zhu Pingan's article could be wiped out and add fuel to the prosperity of Buddhism.

Good, good.

As a result, there was a sign in front of the gate of Baiyun Temple saying "Zhu Pingan and dogs are not allowed to enter!"

The abbot of Baiyun Temple and others thought carefully, but he ignored that Zhu Pingan was a man and a scholar, but some people were not.

After listening to Baozi's little maid's narration, Li Shu raised her eyebrows and her dark eyes were as clear as autumn water. She covered her cherry mouth with her slender hand and giggled, but there was no warmth in her voice. Instead, it was chilly. Like a red plum blooming in the wind and snow, "Gruck. What a great eminent monk, what a painter of Baiyun Temple. Go and tell Wang Xiaoer to bring more people and smash the gate of Baiyun Temple in Laoshizi." Then paint this poem on the Mahavira Palace."

With that said, Li Shu took pen and ink and wrote a poem on rice paper: The dragon in the shrine goes to the east end, and the time fades to the west. Jingwen is not here now, and the gravel has fallen into the quicksand.

"Miss, do you really want to break down the door? Why should we find a reason? It won't cause trouble for my uncle, right?" asked Baozi's little maid.

"I'm not happy. Isn't this a good reason?" Li Shu's cherry mouth raised in a beautiful arc.

"Will that cause trouble for my uncle?" the little maid Baozi asked again.

"Cause trouble? Geez, maybe if I hit you, your uncle will be promoted." Li Shu's dark eyes were shining with luster...

The little maid Baozi looked confused, this is not causing trouble, how can she be promoted? The young lady must be angry.

"Then what should I do with this scripture? How can I pray for blessings if I smashed the door of someone else's temple?" The little maid Baozi thought of something else.

"Instead of copying Buddhist scriptures, I will copy the Tao Te Ching and send it to the Taoist temple to pray for blessings." Li Shu smiled coquettishly and coquettishly.
