Chapter 3006: Who knows the core influence?
Sometimes, no one will do the right things, because the right things will make people tired, hard work, and sacrifice, 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 sect... This is inconsistent with the status of a Buddha... right? Why not establish a... Buddha
country?"
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?! A Buddhist country? This... this is impossible."
"Why is it impossible?" Han Guo smiled, and there seemed to be only doubt on his young face.
If Han Guo were an old Han Chinese, Senior Monk Zuo would subconsciously guard against whether Han Guo was "sophisticated", but seeing Han Guo 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 Buddha in the heart, where can it not be a Buddhist country?"
"That's it..." Han Guo nodded, as if he was being taught.
Han Guo understood what Senior Monk Zuo meant, but Senior Monk Zuo failed to understand Han Guo's intention.
Even though Monk Zuo's words were very beautiful, in fact, if he really had no desires or desires, then why did Monk Zuo accompany Han Guo on this trip?
If everything is a spiritual 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 didn't go through the blessing process?
Therefore, Han Guo nodded to show that he understood, while despising the pretentiousness of Senior Monk Zuo.
Monk Zuo failed to detect Han Guo's psychological activities. He 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 Da 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 system and cultural inheritance of the Western Regions and Han Dynasty,
In fact, there is a big difference.
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, with various factions saying their own things...
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 lectures. This is different from the Chinese Han Dynasty who have entered the state of primary school students, both in terms of the construction of the knowledge system and the knowledge itself.
In terms of teachings, there is a big difference. Of course, in the later development of Buddhism, a similar teacher-teacher system was also produced, but it was later destroyed by the word "sudden enlightenment".
Han Guo smiled and said, "Senior Monk 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 Qiuci!" Han Guo said naturally.
"Qiuci?" Senior Monk Zuo couldn't understand.
Han Guo nodded, "In the Western Region, how many of them can set up the position of great monk like the Kucha Kingdom? But even so, the Kucha Kingdom still cannot be regarded as a Buddhist country... Whether it is a Buddhist country or not, there are actually many things.
are different……"
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 raised 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?"
"The timing..." 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 we cannot follow the Dharma, 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 will also be a Buddhist country in later generations, but in fact it is not. When establishing a country, it was not the use of Buddhist scriptures, but the use of force. After the establishment of the country, he did not give up his royal power.
It only respects the divine authority on the surface. Just like China also adopted a certain religion as the state religion at a certain stage in certain feudal dynasties, but it still cannot be regarded as a country of this religion.
The Buddhists who were driven from ancient India to spread 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 it is a pity that 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".
Yes, it is the "fate" of "chance" that Han Guo said. Buddhism places too much emphasis on this "fate", 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
On this "fate".
In order to explain the gap between rich and poor and class differences, the 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 "condition"
, but it also led to a lack of motivation for development among the people.
The Buddhist type lies flat.
Whether to charge tax or not, it depends on fate?
Can it be developed and left to chance?
It's really random, of course it's very Buddhist, but...
Everything is conditioned, and everything is empty. Of course it sounds good, but when faced with external invasion, what can we do to protect the Buddhist kingdom? Should we use a bald heavenly spirit to cover it?
The construction and development of a country requires money, goals, continuous efforts and continuous struggle, which is completely contrary to the word "accommodating the fate". And if "accommodating the fate" is not advocated in the Buddhist country, it is contrary to the Buddhadharma itself.
It's contradictory. 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..."
The picture was so beautiful that I really didn’t dare to look at it.
If tax rates are not set and state violence is used to impose taxes, will people pay taxes honestly?
hehe.
What?
Fanatic believer?
The faith value generated by fanatic believers is naturally very high, but fanatic believers basically do not engage in production.
Only workers at the grassroots level are engaged in the heaviest production activities.
In the Western Regions, they were serfs.
If the serfs are allowed to worship all day long and sit on the field ridges to recite Buddhist scriptures all year round, will Zhuanghe grow? And then they will not kill animals or eliminate insects. Those pests that eat Zhuanghe will be inspired by Buddhism and crawl on their own.
Walk?
What's more, even if a Buddhist kingdom is established, the surrounding countries will just watch and say nothing?
If the Buddhist country is strong, other countries will be greedy. If the Buddhist 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 seize more means of production and living, humans have learned to wage wars, and it is precisely because of human greed
Nature, so countries or organizations have laws and regulations to restrict them, but no one has ever made any laws to restrict wisdom...
Generally speaking, among human beings, there are definitely more greedy groups than people who pursue enlightenment and truth, which makes the Buddhist Kingdom completely lose the soil for its establishment.
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 goes on stage at this moment and shouts... who will stop him? Who can stop him?"
The great monk Zuo Moran.
Han Guo did not continue speaking, because it was enough for the moment, and continuing to speak would be a bit coercive or instigating.
Although what Han Guo was doing right now was just instigating.
The actions of General Hussar in Shanshan made many people suddenly realize.
I couldn't find any ideas at first, but 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, six in total. These officers served as generals and ministers, led troops on horseback, and governed the people. They had great power, and there were similar official positions in Qiuci.
They all had great authority, and similar to the Jin state at that time, official positions were hereditary and irreplaceable. In the Jin state, there were ministers who had great achievements in shaking the lord, and in the Qiuci state, there were also lords who could 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.
So what about next time?
So the best strategy is to split.
Shanshan is one kind of split, and Qiuci is another kind.
The secular should return to the secular, and the gods and Buddhas should return to the gods and Buddhas.
When divine authority and royal authority are separated, and royal authority can no longer be blessed by divine authority, 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 senior monk here with the purpose of causing a split in the royal and divine authority in Qiuci. He described the Buddhist kingdom in order to seduce the senior monk’s pursuit of power, and when the senior monk fell into
When one is thirsty for power, his mind will be taken over by desire and his mind will be dazzled.
"This time, many Buddha statues were destroyed in the Kingdom of Qiuci..." Han Guo said earnestly, "This is a mistake... Our Hussar General also said that he will make up for this mistake... and he will make up for it in the future.
Make money to rebuild some Buddha statues and reproduce the glory of the Buddha..."
The great monk clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name, 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.
Han Guo pointed his hand.
Senior Monk Zuo raised his head and looked in the direction pointed by Han Guo.
On the mountain side of the place where they were temporarily stationed, there was a Buddha statue drawn by someone who did not know when. The outline of the Buddha statue was very simple, and it was not filled with any complicated colors of gold and silver, but it showed desolation.
It has a simple and elegant beauty.
There are many such Buddha statues in the Western Regions, large and small, and of all kinds.
The senior 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? In Pilang City before,
Is the destruction of Buddha statues in the city really disrespectful to Buddha by the Han people? In fact, it is not the case... If it is really disrespectful, why are the Buddha statues here not also destroyed?"
This is a fact.
The facts before our eyes.
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 soil 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 Yan and Huang people makes the Han nation very tolerant of religions, even if it occasionally occurs
The tyranny of the feudal dynasty destroyed Buddhism or Taoism, but the people were always able to accommodate these religions, so that they survived in the end.
Buddhism, like most other religions, encourages people to do good, so there is nothing wrong 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 the involvement of Kucha?" The conclusion Han Guo came to was naturally placed in front of the monk, "If
If there is a completely independent Buddhist country... wouldn't it be unaffected by these mundane problems? Just like these Buddha statues..."
"Buddha country..." This time, the monk didn't say any words of rejection again, but seemed to start thinking seriously.
Obviously, what Han Guo said does make sense.
The Buddha statues in Pilang City in Kucha were destroyed, but the Buddha statues on both sides of the road are still intact. If we say that the Han people disobeyed the Buddha and destroyed the Buddha, then why are these Buddha statues left? We should say that the Han people respect the Buddha.
We respect the Buddha, but why were the Buddha statues in Pilang City, Kucha, destroyed?
A three-inch man jumped out and shouted, "There is only one truth!"
Is it natural for a Buddhist country?
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, could he obtain supreme merit and immediately become a more respected spokesman for the Buddha than Busen?
Monk Zuo's cheeks turned slightly red as he thought about it. 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 it’s true… I mean it…”
Senior Monk Zuo was slightly incoherent.
Monk Zuo knows that he alone is not enough, but if he has the support of the most powerful Han people at the moment, then it is impossible to say that he can really succeed!
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 it's difficult to do this... After all, our Cavalry General, so far, has never personally damaged a Buddha statue... Don't worry, this shouldn't happen."
question……"
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 even realize that this beautiful pie contained
of poison.
In fact, Monk Zuo 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 that it has a transcendent status. It is very beautiful to think about it.
Han Guo looked at the senior monk and laughed, his smile as pure as the snow on the Tianshan Mountains. "When we go to Pilang City this time, 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 laughed together.
It is indeed not too difficult to establish a Buddhist kingdom, but it only goes so far...
A 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 if the divine power really starts to encroach on the royal power and wants 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 is inevitable that just 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 beautiful wish...
