Who knows the core influence of Chapter 3006?
Sometimes, no one will do the right things, because the right things will make people tired, hard work, and dedication, but many people will do the wrong things, because these wrong things often appear to be invisible on the surface. Comfortable, happy and simple.
?Han Guo immediately wanted to describe a comfortable, happy and simple thing to the monk.
“Master Sengzheng, why haven’t you ever thought of becoming independent? Han Guo said softly, "You cannot make your own decisions if you live under someone else''s command... This is inconsistent with the status of a Buddha... right?" Why not establish a...Buddhist country? 』
??Grand Monk Zuo swallowed his saliva and did not continue to correct Han Guo''s problem with the title. Instead, he shook his head and said, "What?" ! Buddhist country? This...this is unlikely. 』
Why is it impossible? Han Guo smiled, and there seemed to be only doubts on his young face.
If Han Guo were an old Han, Senior Monk Zuo would subconsciously guard against whether Han Guo was "sophisticated". But looking at Han Guo being so young, Senior Monk Zuo would inevitably feel that the salt he had eaten was worse than that. What...
"A country has many affairs..." the great monk Zuo Heshi said, "and all countries in the Western Region can be Buddhist countries... As long as there is a Buddha in the heart, where can it not be a Buddhist country?" 』
"That''s it..." Han Guo nodded, as if he was being taught something.
?Han Guo understood what Senior Monk Zuo meant, but Senior Monk Zuo failed to understand Han Guo''s intention.
?Although Monk Zuo’s words are very beautiful, in fact, if he really has no desires and desires, then why did Monk Zuo accompany Han Guo on this trip?
??If everything is a mind-based method, as long as there is a Buddha in the heart, then why does the great monk emphasize that he is not a great monk yet?
??If you don’t care about anything secular, then what does it matter who becomes the king of Kucha? Why are you angry because the new king did not go through the blessing process?
?So Han Guo nodded to show that he understood, while despising the pretentiousness of the monk.
??Grand Monk Zuo failed to detect Han Guo''s psychological activities. He also thought that what he said was very Buddhist and touched Han Guo''s soul.
?Han Guo has a tender face, so when Han Guo said the words "Buddha Country", the first reaction of the monk was not that Han Guo was sowing discord, but to explain patiently.
Isn’t it normal for young people to be ignorant?
This concept of the Great Sengzuo is not wrong. In fact, it is in line with his own living and growing environment.
Because the inheritance of monks such as the great monk Zuo relies on the increase of age and the accumulation of time. He felt that Han was too young, so he relaxed his vigilance. He did not realize that the education systems and cultural inheritance of the Western Regions and the Han Dynasty were actually very different.
??The biggest difference is that China has initially established a teacher system and begun to pay attention to an orderly inheritance, while Buddhism is still in the process of groping, and the factions are chaotic and have different opinions...
??The current Buddhist knowledge education system in the Western Regions is as superficial as a kindergarten class. You listen casually and don''t care about the lectures. This is a big difference from the Chinese man who has already entered the state of primary school students, both in terms of the construction of the knowledge system and the teaching of the knowledge itself. Of course, in the later development of Buddhism, a similar teacher-teacher system was also created, but it was later destroyed by the word "sudden enlightenment".
?Han Guo smiled and said, "Master Zheng, please forgive me for being rude, do I think... these are impossible, some feel like shirk... establishing a Buddhist kingdom is actually very necessary..."
Why do you say that? ” asked the great monk Zuo.
Because of Kucha! ” Han Guo said naturally.
『Kiuchi? ” The great monk couldn’t understand.
?Han Guo nodded, "How many of the Western Regions can establish the position of great monk like the Qiuci Kingdom?" But even so, Kucha still cannot be regarded as a Buddhist country...Whether it is a Buddhist country or not, many things are actually different..."
??Grand Monk Zuo did not answer immediately, he was also thinking about this question. In fact, the idea of ??establishing a Buddhist kingdom was not just proposed by Han Guo at the moment, but had been proposed for a long time.
"The conditions for establishing a Buddhist kingdom may not have been suitable before..." Han Guo said sincerely, "But now, is there a more suitable time than now?" 』
‘What a good time…’ Senior Monk Zuo repeated.
?Han Guo nodded, "Or maybe it''s... the Buddha''s chance?" 』
‘Hiss…’ Senior Monk Zuo took a breath of cold air.
What an opportunity!
this…
??If you cannot follow the law of chance, wouldn’t it be against the will of the Buddha?
Some people say that King Ashoka in ancient India was a Buddhist country, and that Thailand in later generations is also a Buddhist country, but in fact it is not. When establishing the country, they did not use Buddhist scriptures, but used force. After establishing the country, they did not give up their royal power, but only superficially respected the divine power. Just like China, at a certain stage in certain feudal dynasties, a certain religion was the state religion, but it still cannot be regarded as a country of this religion.
The Buddhists in ancient India who were driven from south to north, of course, were not willing to wander around like duckweeds all day long, and also wanted to be stable, so the establishment of a Buddhist country was constantly considered by these people. Narrating, studying, and even before the actual Buddhist kingdom was established, a "Bliss World" was created...
But unfortunately, the Buddhist kingdom can never be established in this world.
The reason is very simple. There is a very troublesome thing about Buddhism, which is "according to fate".
That''s right, it''s the "fate" of "chance" that Han Guo said. Buddhism places too much emphasis on this "condition", that is, "cause and effect". This is almost the foundation of the entire teaching of Buddhism, the most basic foundation. As a result, the problem lies in this "condition".
?In order to explain the gap between rich and poor and class differences, Buddha said that everyone has his own "condition". This is indeed a "perfect" explanation that allows most poor people to be content with their own "conditions", but it also leads to a lack of motivation for the people''s development.
Buddha lies flat.
Whether you want to charge taxes or not, it depends on circumstances?
Can we develop and let things happen?
It’s really just random, of course it’s very Buddhist, but...
Everything is conditional, and everything is empty. Of course it sounds very good, but when faced with external invasion, what can we do to protect the Buddhist country? Use the bald Tianling cover?
The construction and development of a country requires money, goals, continuous efforts and continuous struggle, which is completely contrary to the word "following the fate". And if we say that "according to fate" is no longer advocated in a Buddhist country, it goes against Buddhism itself. For example, if a Buddhist goes to people''s homes with swords, whistles, sticks, etc. to forcefully collect taxes, a group of bald heads will surround them and say, "Donor, you don''t want your wife to suffer..."
?That picture is so beautiful that I really dare not look at it.
??If tax rates are not set and state violence is used to impose taxes, will the people pay the taxes honestly?
hehe.
What?
Crazy believer?
The faith value generated by fanatic believers is naturally very high, but fanatic believers basically do not engage in production.
It is only workers at the grassroots level who are engaged in the heaviest production activities.
In the Western Regions, they were serfs.
??If all the serfs were allowed to go to worship all day long and sit on the ridges of the fields to recite Buddhist scriptures all year round, would Zhuang He himself be the leader? Then if we don’t kill animals or get rid of pests, will those pests eating crops be inspired by Buddhism and crawl away on their own?
What''s more, even if a Buddhist country is established, the surrounding countries will just watch and say nothing?
?If the Buddha country is strong, other countries will be greedy. If the Buddha country is weak, other countries will be more greedy. At this time, what can we rely on to resist the aggression of other countries?
The power of human greed is far greater than human wisdom. Even the development of human beings is based on greedy desires. In order to usurp more means of production and living, humans have learned to wage wars. It is precisely because of human beings'' greedy nature that countries or organizations have laws and regulations. To restrain, and no one will ever make any laws to restrain wisdom...
Generally speaking, among human beings, there are definitely more greedy groups than people who pursue enlightenment and truth. This completely loses the foundation for the establishment of the Buddhist Kingdom.
It''s just that the monk obviously didn''t understand this. He was just attracted by the bright word "Buddhist Kingdom". All he was thinking about was the possibility of establishing a Buddhist Kingdom, and he didn''t think about the future of the Buddhist Kingdom. Sustainability.
?Han Guo smiled as innocently as a simple teenager.
"There are so many believers in Qiuci now, and the royal power is in chaos..." Han Guo said slowly, "If the great monk were to go on stage and shout loudly at this moment...who would stop him?" Who can stop it? 』
The great monk Zuo Moran.
?Han Guo did not continue speaking, because for the moment, it was enough, and continuing to speak would be a bit forced or instigating.
Although what Han Guo was doing right now was instigating. The actions of General Hussars in Shanshan made many people suddenly realize.
At first I couldn’t find an idea, but then I found an example in front of me…
?The Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, and the Western Regions!
??Qiuci is like the Kingdom of Jin.
??During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Jin established three armies: the upper, middle and lower armies. Each army had two officers, a total of six. These officials serve as generals and prime ministers, mount their horses to lead troops, and dismount their horses to govern the people. They have great power. There are also similar official positions in Qiuci, which are very powerful. Similar to the Jin Dynasty at that time, official positions were hereditary and irreplaceable. There are ministers in the Jin Kingdom who have great achievements, and there are also lords in the Qiuci Kingdom who can support a new monarch with one hand.
??Although the last Western Region Allied Forces did not really hit Xihai City, that was because the Hussars General arrived in time.
What about next time?
So the best strategy is to split.
Shanshan is one kind of division, and Qiuci is another kind.
The secular should be returned to the secular, and the gods and Buddhas should be returned to the gods and Buddhas.
When the divine power and the royal power are separated, and the royal power can no longer be blessed by the divine power, that is the beginning of the collapse of faith.
??Coupled with Busen''s side, hey, in this way, if the Western Regions want to unite into an army again, the difficulty will basically go up...
?Han Guo specially brought the chief monk here with him in order to cause a split in the royal and divine power in Qiuci. He described the Buddhist country in order to seduce the monk''s pursuit of power. When the monk fell into the desire for power, his mind would be occupied by desire and his mind would be dazzled.
"This time in the Kingdom of Kucha, many Buddha statues were destroyed..." Han Guo said earnestly, "This is a mistake... Our Hussar General also said that we will make up for this mistake... We will allocate charity funds to rebuild some in the future. The Buddha statue reproduces the glory of the Buddha...』
The great monk clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha''s name. He was obviously very happy.
“But I’m thinking about it, there is a problem...” Han Guo whispered, “I wonder if the monk has discovered it? 』
What’s the problem? ” asked the great monk Zuo.
Han Guo pointed his hand.
??Grand Monk Zuo raised his head and looked in the direction pointed by Han Guo.
On the side of the mountain where they were temporarily stationed, there was a Buddha statue that was sketched by someone who didn’t know when. The outline of the Buddha statue is very simple, and it is not filled with complicated colors of gold and silver, but it shows desolation and has a simple and elegant beauty.
??There are many such Buddha statues in the Western Regions, large and small, and of all kinds.
??The great monk clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha''s name again. Then he seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Han Guo.
“Look, why were the Buddha statues in Pilang City in Qizi destroyed...” Han Guo smiled and said a seemingly irrefutable question, “But the Buddha statues here can be intact? Is the previous destruction of Buddha statues in Pilang City really the Han people''s disrespect for Buddha? Actually no... If it was really disrespectful, why didn''t the Buddha statues here also be destroyed? 』
This is a fact.
The facts before us.
Not only were the Buddhist statues where they were currently stationed not destroyed, but the Han army also did not deliberately destroy the Buddhist statues that were mostly painted on stone walls and earth slopes by devout Buddhists in the Western Regions.
Because the Han nation itself is a nation that is tolerant, tolerant, and even willing to accept many new things. This fine tradition inherited from the Yanhuang people has made the Han nation very tolerant of religions. Even if the feudal dynasty occasionally exterminates Buddhism or Taoism, the people can always tolerate these. Religion makes it possible to survive in the end.
? Buddhism, like most other religions, encourages people to do good, so there is no problem with "Buddha" itself. The problem is "Buddhists" and "people", so the problem that Han Guo pointed out at the moment is also the same.
So I have an immature idea... Was the destruction of the Buddha statue this time actually caused by Kucha? "The conclusion that Han Guo came to was naturally placed in front of the great monk, "If there was a completely independent Buddhist kingdom... wouldn''t it be affected by these mundane problems? Just like these Buddha statues..."
“Buddhist country...” This time, the monk didn’t say anything to refuse, but seemed to start thinking seriously.
Obviously, what Han Guo said does make sense.
?The Buddha statues in Kuchapilang City were destroyed, but the Buddha statues on both sides of the road were still intact. If we say that the Han people disobeyed the Buddha and destroyed the Buddha, then why are these Buddha statues left behind? The Han people respect and respect Buddha, but why were the Buddha statues in Pilang City in Kucha destroyed?
A three-inch boy jumped out and shouted, "There is only one truth!" 』
Buddha country, is it natural?
A pure, pure, pure place with the supreme glory of the Buddha, flowers blooming, honey flowing, countless believers and monks carefree, free from illness and disaster, they only need to sing praises to the Buddha and recite scriptures every day...
?Ah, just thinking about it, how beautiful it is!
??And the great monk who promoted this matter and finally established the Buddhist kingdom, can he obtain supreme merit and immediately become a spokesman for the Buddha even more respected than Busen?
??Grand Monk Zuo thought, his cheeks flushed slightly. He needed to take a long breath to barely suppress his surging heartbeat.
"Ahem..." Senior Monk Zuo hesitated a little, and looked at Han Guo expectantly, "Is this... is this what you mean, or is it Han Chinese... No, I''m not saying that your suggestion is not good, but if Really... I mean really..."
The great monk was slightly incoherent.
??Grand Monk Zuo knows that he alone is obviously not enough, but if he is supported by the most powerful Han people at the moment, then it is impossible to say that he can really do it!
The Buddhist Kingdom may not need a large place. It only needs to set aside a city in Qiuci. Perhaps Baiya City near Tianshan Mountain is a very good place.
Baiya City is at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, and there is a river formed by the snow in the sky passing by. Perhaps a temple belonging to the Buddha can be built on the mountain of Tianshan Mountain. The walls are painted with chalk to represent purity and white clouds, and the monks who practice inside Of course, it is equally pure, and above the white clouds...
The more eager you are, the more eager you will be, and the more you will worry about gains and losses.
Han Guo understood what Senior Monk Zuo meant, and he nodded, "I don''t think this matter is difficult... After all, our Cavalry General, so far, has never personally damaged a Buddha statue... Don''t worry, there should be no problem... 』
If it were Bu Sen in front of Han Guo, it is impossible to say that this old monk would be able to detect Han Guo''s trap, but he was just a senior monk from Qiuci Kingdom, and he did not realize that this beautiful pie contained of poison.
??In fact, the great monk may not be aware of the danger, but...
This is so tempting!
?Indeed, a country that is separated from the mundane world and belongs entirely to the Buddha naturally avoids being implicated by other countries. As a free and neutral country, it cannot be said to have a transcendent status. It is beautiful to think about.
Han Guo looked at the senior monk and smiled, his smile as pure as the snow on the Tianshan Mountains. "This time when we go to Pilang City, as long as the senior monk is willing to join us and advance and retreat together, we will definitely be able to make the senior monk right." Get what you want and establish a Buddhist kingdom! 』
??The great monk clasped his hands together and chanted the name of the Buddha, "But listen to the benefactor''s instructions..."
Buddha country!
The two of them laughed together.
Establishing a Buddhist kingdom is indeed not too difficult, but it only goes so far...
The Buddha can eat no earthly things, drink a sip of the northwest wind and sip the incense of faith, and he can be satisfied, but what about humans?
It turns out that these royal powers in the Western Regions used divine power to rule the people and maintain class. After all, nobles are born as nobles, which is the blessing of the nobles in their previous lives. Untouchables are born as untouchables, which are the sins of the untouchables in their previous lives. This concept is very popular among noble gentlemen. The welcome of the untouchables can also block the complaints of the untouchables, but really the divine power has begun to encroach on the royal power. If they want to sit side by side with the royal power and eat fruit, oh, no, when eating the untouchables, will other royal powers happily sing praises?
What is the final result?
It must be like the Zhou Dynasty, "rituals and music collapsed".
And all of this, at the very beginning, might just be because of the bowl of tea in front of you, a conversation, a portrait of Buddha, and a good wish...
