But the problem is, Fei Qian's half-knowledge is extremely shocking to people of this era.
Because most people nowadays are closed-minded, poorly informed, and don’t have many additional sources of information. Someone like Fei Qian, who knows a little bit about everything, naturally becomes an incredible existence.
Speaking of which, Fei Qian knows some knowledge about Buddhism, thanks to the comics of later generations of Japan and Japan. The original Chinese tadpole looking for its mother was also a phenomenon-level animation, but it's a pity...
If you don't occupy the position yourself, you can't blame others for occupying it.
It's like the Western Region.
Fei Qian smiled and said, "You yourselves can't tell what Buddha is. You have been arguing about the meaning of Buddhist scriptures for many years since it was passed down from the south to the north... How can you make decisions for the people of the Western Regions? Teach the false ones first and the wrong ones."
, and then change it, right? If this isn’t harmful, what else is it?”
Busen still didn't answer.
The muscles on the face were beating and trembling.
Because he couldn't answer either.
The issues raised by Fei Qian were held in several debate meetings in Buddhism at that time, but still no consensus could be reached. These issues and disputes have always existed and even become more and more intense in Buddhism. Even if the Mahayana sect attempts to integrate, they still cannot reach a consensus.
There are many Hinayana sects, or Tantras, etc. that reject and deny the teachings of the Mahayana sect.
The development of anything is not smooth sailing, even for the self-centered Buddha.
Buddhism claims to the outside world that it was Buddhism that conquered King Asoka, but the actual situation is exactly the opposite. King Ashoka needed Buddhism to reconcile the disharmony in various regions. Therefore, among the decrees issued by King Asoka, although many of them are the same as the teachings of Buddhism, such as
Equality and friendship, prohibition of killing evil, etc. However, the Buddha has always had a relatively ambiguous attitude towards Buddhism, neither saying that he is completely opposed to it, nor that he is completely complying with it.
To put it bluntly, royal power is still greater than divine power.
This will naturally cause dissatisfaction among Buddhists...
Just like when Bu Sen.
On the surface, they are respectful, but in fact, they are secretly making trouble.
The Mauryan Dynasty founded by King Asoka did not last long. Less than fifty years after his death, it was overturned by the Sunga Dynasty. What role Buddhism played in this is unknown due to few historical documents. However, the subsequent succession
This changed the original friendly attitude towards Buddhism and began to expel Buddhists.
Buddhism had to move from Central India to the south and north respectively. This is the so-called southern transmission and northern transmission. The one transmitted to the south is the Theravada, and the one transmitted to the north has become the Dharma. This is also a general division, and the specific
The situation of the branches of Buddhism in Buddhism is more complicated than that of Tianlong and Babu. Fei Qian only had a brief understanding of it and felt dizzy. However, this superficial understanding was enough for the moment.
The more you understand history, the clearer you can see human nature.
Greedy people are still greedy, kind people are still kind, trolls have gone from Dongguan Gang to Donglin, trolls have sprayed from the founding of the country to the destruction of the country...
In addition to changes in time and space, human nature shows consistency to a certain extent.
Fei Qian looked at Bu Sen, observing his subtle expressions, and his words were like knives, piercing his heart.
Shrimp and pork heart are still the best match.
"Great monk, you are still a human being after all... If you want to become an Arhat, you must have merit... So you feel like you are speaking for the people of the Western Regions and complaining about injustice in order to gain merit..." Fei Qian
He said slowly, "Unfortunately, you are wrong. You are in the wrong direction. Cultivation can only bring you wisdom, but it cannot make you transcend... Great monk, you should not have thrown yourself into this hell of flesh and blood, but you
Come...Are you really doing it for the people of the Western Region? No, you are still doing it for you, for your own practice, for your own selfish desires, not really for the Buddha..."
"No!" Busen gritted his teeth, "I'm not doing it for myself! I'd rather give up my life for the people of the Western Regions!"
"Dare to give up your life, does that mean you are not profiting for yourself?" Fei Qian laughed, stretched out his hand and drew a circle around him, "My subordinates around me can give up their lives on the battlefield, but at the same time, they are also doing it for themselves."
Fight for yourself, fight for the Han people, fight for your own future, fight for the future of the Han people... This is actually not a conflict, and there is nothing to be ashamed of... Just admit it..."
"No, no no!" Busen shook his head, "No...that's not it..."
Busen cannot admit his desire.
Because of being an Arhat, one must be free from worries and eliminate desires.
But the problem is that Buddhism’s own definition of Arahant is contradictory and conflicting.
The split in Buddhism and the split in Confucianism are actually similar in terms of scriptures and meanings, but it is a pity that Buddhism does not have the soil that is as close as Confucianism and royal power, so after it spread from the south to the north, due to their respective reasons
Declined.
In fact, there are also Theravada believers in the Northern Tradition, and because North India is the only route for foreign invasions, with the introduction of new ideas and the need for foreign rule, the more inclusive and diverse Mahayana thoughts have gradually come to the fore. There are also popular sects in the Southern Tradition.
The reason why believers are moving more and more south is that the Kandara and Gupta dynasties were more inclined to Brahmanism and did not openly persecute Buddhists. There was a trend of persecution, so the Buddhism spread to the south fled to Southeast Asia...
This is generally the process of Buddhism spreading outward.
In fact, it is very similar to the process of the spread of Chinese Confucianism to the outside world, and it is a "passive" spread.
Most of the time in China, whether the dynasty was at its peak or the dynasty was in decline, everyone held a positive attitude on whether to spread Chinese civilization and whether to educate the world, but most of them stayed at the words of Gang Jing.
On the surface, not much was actually done. There was no plan, no tracking process, and no test results.
After the Three Kingdoms, during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Buddhism suddenly became popular. On the one hand, the worry about the subjugation of the country and the subjugation of the species made many people fall into pain and escape by breaking five stones. On the other hand, the ensuing wars made life very painful.
People are more looking forward to peace after death. During this period, a large number of Buddhist cultural relics were faked. The purpose of the fakery was that Buddhists tried to prove that King Asoka had visited China before the Western Zhou Dynasty, or spread to China and built stupas.
The impetus for this fraud stems from the fact that the Confucian and Taoist families use local ancestral eldest fathers to talk about matters, forcing Buddhists to look forward to make amends. This can be regarded as a fraud caused by a defensive mentality.
It's understandable, but not supported.
Just like Fei Qian can understand Busen now, but it is impossible to support Busen.
Isn’t this kind of fraud that is produced for the purpose of defending religion considered fraud?
As Buddhist fraud becomes more and more serious, Taoism also follows suit...
Confucianism looked at it with wide eyes, and then secretly thought about it, because the characteristics of Confucius's era were too obvious, and it was really difficult to go back further, so they found another way and started to create saints. They were not older than the era, but there were more saints.
Buddha is no longer a human being.
As soon as I was born, the sky and the earth were filled with light, and I was the only one with a boom...
That's a nuclear warhead.
I am no longer a human being.
Simply transform into the three pure beings in one breath and travel through the atmosphere. Incarnated into thousands of people, no one can explain it clearly.
Confucius is no longer a human being.
There is even a hole in your head... Confucian disciples, are you serious? Are you implying that there is no hole in your head and you cannot fall into Confucianism?
If you are not a human being, why do you need people to practice?
It's like asking ants to do human things. Can it be done?
That's definitely impossible. If it were to be done, it would already be a monster.
So many practitioners know clearly in their hearts that if they want to attain enlightenment, they must first stop being human.
The wave of comparing fakes and saints to see who can lie better and who can brag better, who is worse and who has no bottom line is coming in a surging pace.
So as a time traveler, isn’t it to promote these more interesting things? Is it possible that just like what those Shandong gangsters said, just go defeat Cao Cao and unify China and be done with it?
Fei Qian knew that there were two paths for Buddhism to spread to China.
The southern route moved very slowly because sea transportation was not expanding at present, so the northern route was the focus. Until the Tang Dynasty, most Buddhism was still introduced from the Western Regions, and many of the scriptures were reprinted or translated from the Western Regions.
Version.
Conquering the Western Regions requires not only conquering the castles on the land, but also defeating the castles in the hearts of the people in the Western Regions.
According to the CEO who only knows how to fall in love in some dramas, not only the body of the Western Region is needed, but also the soul of the Western Region.
President Fei, well, Fei Qian smiled as he looked at Busen's gradually distorted face, the pain that could not be concealed.
In the process of the spread of Buddhism, it is similar to the Confucian scriptures. It has a foundation. The foundation of Buddhism is the Theravada and the Dharma. There are schools first, and then there are sects. This is probably the process.
Busen, there is a high possibility that he is a certain sect under the Popular Department of Bei Chuan...
However, Fei Qian didn't want to investigate Busen's heel in detail, he just wanted to use Busen to achieve another goal in the Western Region.
Bu Sen lowered his head and lowered his eyelids. Under his eyelids, his eyeballs were constantly trembling.
In addition to being shocked, Busen felt even more terrified.
This kind of fear is like a girl being stripped naked and thrown into a busy city, or a boy holding a piece of soap and standing in a gay bathhouse...
To be honest, Busen has been spreading Buddhism in the Western Regions for so many years, and he must have had some doubts in the process, but no one can explain it to him. He can only find the answer himself. If he can't find the answer, he can only...
Hidden deep in his heart. Now that these doubts have been raised by Fei Qian, contradictions that are not limited to the Buddhist scriptures mentioned by Fei Qian are tumbling in his heart.
However, due to his loyal belief in Buddhism, Busen could not speak ill of Buddhism, let alone express his agreement with Fei Qian's words. However, he could not find any strong evidence to refute.
Busen knew that for ordinary people, he would try to deceive them with falsehoods, but for people like Fei Qian, if he could not explain it with actual things, then it would be impossible to convince Fei Qian.
Did you say that Fei lurked in the Western Regions and committed crimes?
Feiqian won't care, and Ashoka is the biggest bug in the foundation of Buddhist scriptures. How many people did Feiqian kill? How many people did Ashoka kill? Ashoka could become a Buddha immediately when he put down his butcher knife. No matter how bad things are, there is still Buddhism
The disciples called it the black and white Ashoka, and cut it in time and space for Ashoka...
Oh, I killed someone yesterday. I admitted that I was guilty yesterday, but I didn’t kill someone today, so I am not guilty today? So I can’t be arrested, and I can still enjoy peace and joy?
Is this still possible?
Idealistic religions will always have loopholes.
Fei Qian looked at Bu Sen, but he also knew that Bu Sen would not admit these problems.
"We Han people have a very great thinker, just like the Buddha you believe in. His name is Kong Zhongni. You may have heard of his name..." Fei Qian said with a smile, "Kong Zhongni also convened that year.
Disciples, impart knowledge, explore the world, and pursue the first and final secrets in life... He is great, and his disciples are also great..."
Bu Sen slowly raised his head and looked at Fei Qian.
"But it's a pity that Kong Zhongni is a human, not a Buddha..." Fei Qian smiled, "So he can't remember everything he said... When people get old, they will inevitably say some upside-down words, inconsistencies and so on.
...Then his disciples were afraid that someone would discover this, so after his death, they gathered almost all his disciples and compiled a scripture...called the Analects...all the disciples who did not agree with the Analects were beaten.
Kill... At that time, it was the Warring States period of the Han people... that is, there were battlefields everywhere. How many people died was nothing? Right? From then on, Kong Zhongni was no longer a human, but a saint... Great monk, you
Do you think you are familiar with this matter?"
Bu Sen's expression changed again. First he moved his eyes to the side, then lowered his head and chanted the Buddha's name.
Can this be admitted?
It’s also impossible to admit it!
Can some things be treated as non-existent if they are not acknowledged?
"Does the great monk know that there was a great emperor before the Han people, and he also killed many people..." Fei Qian said with a smile, "When he was alive, no one dared to say anything, but after he died,
Later...some people said that he was able to establish a country because he was blessed by Confucian scriptures, and that his downfall was because he killed Confucian disciples...Does the great monk also find this story familiar?"
Bu Sen raised his head sharply, stared at Fei Qian, then quickly closed his eyes and praised the Buddha's name again and again.
Not angry or angry.
So many years of practice cannot be destroyed in one day!
However, Bu Sen's rapid breathing and chaotic heart rate made it difficult for him to maintain a seemingly stable aura.
Just as Buddhism arranges King Asoka, Confucianism also arranges Qin Shihuang.
Although they are in different regions, at different times, facing different people, they are surprisingly similar. In the Buddhist narrative of "The Life of King Ashoka", King Ashoka is a model of karma. Buddhists say that when King Ashoka was in his previous life,
He vowed to donate his land to the Buddha, so Asoka became king and unified ancient India. After becoming king, he converted to Buddhism as a matter of course. However, after his death, his successors destroyed the Buddha, so he perished.
Does it make sense?
On the one hand, Buddhists are strengthening cause and effect, while downplaying Asoka's own actions, turning his process of becoming a king into the blessing of Buddhism. On the other hand, through the story of the collapse of the dynasty, they are warning or threatening other rulers to destroy Buddhism.
The consequences require rulers to be more careful and honest, and listen obediently to the Buddha's words.
When Fei lurks in the Western Regions, he not only has to compete for the royal power of various states, but also has to compete with the theocratic power in the Western Regions for position.
Because words similar to those of King Asoka have begun to spread in Qiuci Kingdom and more remote places such as Shule...
It's just that the previous protagonist changed from Ashoka to Lu Bu, and now he has become Fei Qian.
Therefore, in the stories of various religions, there is always a template that can replace any king. The key point is to believe in religion, and then win the country because of belief, and improve the status of religion.
, in order to highlight the sanctity of religious power that is greater than royal power.
The First Emperor of Qin cheated Confucians, just like the powder in Xiao Liuzi's belly.
Whether Fei Qian was massacring the city right now, it would be like that bowl of noodles...
And Tong Geluojia is undoubtedly the owner of that jelly shop.
"So, great monk..." Fei Qian glanced in the direction of the Shanshan Palace, "What were you angry about just now? Are you angry because Tong Grojia surrendered? Are you angry because of Tong Grojia's cowardice?"
Is it because Tong Geluojia is not dead, so you can't prove that I am evil? Can't you explain to the people in the Western Regions that the Han people are evil? Can't you make the people in the Western Regions believe that the Han people only cause killing?"
Busen could no longer remain calm. He rolled up his eyelids and glared at Fei Qian. His original kind-hearted appearance turned into a pair of triangular eyes. The corners of his mouth were lowered and closed tightly. He didn't know when his hands came together.
It became twisted in one place and the veins were exposed.
Fei Qian chuckled, "Do you know why I keep you with me all the time? Because there are many people here, not just Han people, but also Shanshan people, Ruoqiang people, Semu people... They all saw you alive! Good job
You are alive! Haha, do you understand? Great monk, if you live, your Buddha will die... But you can't commit suicide. If you commit suicide, your life's practice will be gone. Without the great monk who practices, you can still
Can you become an Arahant in the Western Region... Chanda has the Buddha as his witness, so he is an Arahant, but what about you? Who will prove it for you?"
"So you want to be killed by me, you would rather be killed by me..." Fei Qian smiled, "Just like you also hope that Tong Grojia will be killed by the Han... As long as you are killed by me, or...
Those who were killed by the Han people, these sins, and these karma are all mine, all belong to the Han people, and you will become Buddhas..."
"Do you know why I am talking to you at this time? Because now is the most critical time..." Fei Qian smiled, like a devil's smile, "Tong Grojia surrendered, he was afraid to death, he must
He won’t mind proving that you are the culprit who caused the war in the Western Regions! He will prove that it was you who summoned the believers in the Western Regions, who sent the believers to their death, who took advantage of the Western Regions believers’ trust in Buddha, and who left
If you enter the wrong path and abandon the way of an Arhat... then you will not have any merit at all! All that is left is endless karma waiting for you!"
"Great monk, do you believe it or not?"
"..." The blood drained from Bu Sen's face, he was silent for a long time, and finally said in a hoarse voice, "What exactly do you want to do?"
