Sometimes, no one will do the right things, because the right things will make people tired, hard and pay, but many people will do the wrong things, because these wrong things often appear comfortable, happy and simple on the surface.
Han Guo immediately wanted to describe something comfortable, happy and simple to the monk Zuo.
"The great monk, why haven't you ever thought of being independent?" Han Guo said softly, "After hiding someone's subordinates, you can't make decisions by yourself... This does not match the identity of Buddha... right? Why not establish a... Buddha's country?"
The monk Zuo swallowed a mouthful, but did not continue to correct Han Guo's problem in terms of title. Instead, he shook his head and said, "What?! Buddha's Kingdom? This...is unlikely."
"Why is it impossible?" Han Guo smiled, and the young face seemed to be just a question.
If Han Guo was an old Han man, the great monk would not have to subconsciously guard against Han Guo if he was "smart and conspiracy", but seeing Han Guo so young, the great monk would inevitably feel that the salt he had eaten was better than that...
『A country has many affairs…』 The great monk Zuo Heshi said, 『And all countries in the Western Regions can be Buddha's kingdom… As long as there is Buddha in your heart, where is it not a Buddha's kingdom?』
"That's it..." Han Guo nodded, as if he was very educated.
Han Guo understood the meaning of the great monk Zuo, but the great monk Zuo failed to understand Han Guo’s intention.
Although the great monks and assistant spoke very beautifully, in fact, if they really have no desires and no desires, why should the great monks and assistants accompany Han Guo to this trip?
If everything is the ultimate method, as long as there is a Buddha in your heart, then why is the great monk stressing that he is not the great monk?
If you don’t care about everything in the world, then what does it matter who is the king of Kucha? Why are you angry because the new king has not followed a blessing process?
Therefore, Han Guo nodded and said that he understood, while contempt for the monk Zuo's pretending.
The great monk Zuo failed to notice Han Guo's psychological activities. He also thought that what he said was very Buddhist and touched Han Guo's soul.
Han Guo's face was tender, so when Han Guo said the words of "Buddhist Kingdom", the first reaction of the monk was not that Han Guo was trying to sow discord, but that he explained patiently.
Isn’t it normal for young people to be ignorant?
The great monk Zuo’s concept is not wrong, it is actually in line with his own living and growing environment.
Because the inheritance of monks and other monks rely on the age and the accumulation of time, he felt that Han was too young, so he relaxed his vigilance. He did not realize that there were actually very different educational systems and cultural heritages in the Western Regions and the Han region.
The biggest difference is that China has initially established a teacher-teacher system and has begun to pay attention to the order of inheritance. Buddhism is still exploring, and the factions are in chaos and each is talking about his own words...
The current Buddhist knowledge education system in the Western Regions is as superficial as a kindergarten class, listening casually and speaking without caring about it. This is a big difference between the Chinese man who has already entered the primary school stage, 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 system of teaching of teachers, was created, but later it was destroyed by the word "sudden enlightenment".
Han Guo smiled, "The monk is right, please forgive me for being rude, do I think... these are impossible, some of them feel like they are ruling... It is actually very necessary to build a Buddhist country..."
"Why do you say that?" asked the great monk.
"Because of Kucha!" Han Guo said naturally.
"Kucha?" The great monk Zuo couldn't understand.
Han Guo nodded, "How many people in the Western Regions can establish the position of a monk like Kucha? But even so, Kucha can still not be regarded as a Buddha country... Is it a Buddha country? In fact, many things are different..."
The monk Zuo did not answer immediately, and he was also thinking about this question. In fact, the idea of establishing a Buddha's kingdom was not only proposed by Han Guo, but was found very early.
『The conditions for establishing a Buddha's kingdom before may not be suitable...』 Han Guo said earnestly, 『But now, is there a more suitable opportunity than now?』
"As the opportunity..." the monk Zuo repeated.
Han Guo nodded, "Or...the opportunity of Buddha?"
"Hiss..." The monk Zuo took a breath of cold air.
What an opportunity!
this……
If you cannot follow the circumstances, wouldn’t it go against the Buddha’s will?
Some people say that Ashoka in ancient India was a Buddha's kingdom, and in later generations it was also a Buddha's kingdom, but in fact it was not. When establishing a country, it was not a Buddhist scripture, but a force was used. After establishing a country, it did not give up its royal power, but only respected the divine power on the surface. Just like China also used a certain religion as the state religion at a certain stage of some feudal dynasties, but it still could not be regarded as the country of this religion.
Buddhists who were driven from the south and north in ancient India were certainly unwilling to wander around like duckweed all day long, and they also wanted to be stable. Therefore, the establishment of the Buddha Kingdom was constantly thinking, narrating, and discussing. Even before the real Buddha Kingdom was established, a "Pully Land" was created...
But unfortunately, the Buddha's kingdom can never be established in the world.
The reason is very simple. There is a very troublesome aspect of Buddhism, which is "to go with the flow".
That's right, it is the "fate" of "opportunity" mentioned by Han Guo. Buddhism emphasizes this "fate", that is, "cause and effect", which is almost the foundation of the entire Buddhist doctrine and the most basic basis, and the result is the problem.
In order to explain the gap between the rich and the poor and the class difference, the Buddha said that each person has his own "destiny method". This is indeed a "perfect" explanation, which allows most poor people to be content with their own "destiny method", but it also leads to insufficient development momentum for the people.
Buddhist lying flat.
Will you collect taxes? Let the flow?
Can it develop and follow the circumstances?
It's really going with the flow, of course it's very Buddhist, but...
Everything is fate, everything is invisible. Of course, it sounds very good, but when facing external invasion, what should I use to protect the Buddha's kingdom? Do I use a bald sky spirit cover?
The construction and development of a country requires money, goals, and continuous efforts and continuous struggle, which is completely contrary to the word "to go with the flow". If the Buddha's country does not advocate "to go with the flow" anymore, it is contrary to the Dharma itself. For example, if a Buddhist takes a knives, whistles, or sticks, and forcibly collects taxes at the homes of the people, a group of bald heads surround him, "Donor, you don't want your wife to suffer..."
The picture is so beautiful that I really don't dare to watch it.
If the tax rate is not set and the state violent agency is used to force taxation, will the people pay the tax honestly?
hehe.
What?
A crazy believer?
The faith value generated by crazy believers is naturally very high, but crazy believers basically do not engage in production.
The most arduous production activities are only grassroots workers.
In the Western Regions, they are serfs.
If the serfs were asked to worship all day long and sat on the ridge of the field and recite Buddhist scriptures all year round, would Zhuanghe himself have grown up? Then he would not kill animals or eliminate insects, would those pests that ate Zhuanghe be inspired by Buddhism and crawl away by themselves?
What's more, even if the Buddha Kingdom is established, then the surrounding countries will only look at it and say nothing?
If the Buddha's kingdom is strong, other countries will be greedy. If the Buddha's kingdom is weak, other countries will be even more greedy. What should we rely on to resist the invasion of other countries at this time?
The power of human greed is far greater than that of human wisdom. Even the development of human beings itself is based on greedy desires. In order to invade more production and living materials, human beings have learned to launch wars. It is precisely because of the greedy nature of human beings that countries or organizations have laws and regulations to restrict them, and no one has ever made any laws to restrict wisdom...
Overall, among humans, there are definitely more greedy groups than those who pursue enlightenment and truth, which makes the Buddha's kingdom completely lose its foundation.
However, the great monk Zuo obviously did not understand these. He was just attracted by the glamorous word "Buddhist Kingdom". What he was considering was the possibility of establishing a Buddha's kingdom, and did not think about the future sustainability of the Buddha's kingdom.
Han Guo smiled, his smile was innocent like a simple teenager.
"There are so many believers in Kucha now, and the royal power is in chaos again..." Han Guo said slowly, "If the great monk came on stage and shouted...Who would stop it? Who could stop it?"
The great monk Zuo Moran.
Han Guo did not continue to talk about it because it was enough to talk about the current situation. If you continue to talk about it, it would be a bit forced or a bit instigated.
Although what Han Guo did now is to instigate him.
The actions of the General of the Cavalry in Shanshan made many people suddenly realize.
I couldn't find the idea at first, but there was an example in front of me...
Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States Period, Western Regions!
Kucha is like Jin State.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Jin established three armies, the upper, middle and lower armies, each army established two chiefs, a total of six. These chiefs were generals and prime ministers, horses and soldiers, and horses were on horseback to govern the people. They had great power. There were similar official positions in Kucha, all with great power, and similar to that in Jin, the official positions were hereditary. The ministers who had made great contributions in Jin State were also in the same way, and there were lords who could help a new king with one hand.
Although the last time the Western Regions coalition did not really reach Xihai City, it was because the General of the Cavalry arrived in time.
So what about the next time?
So the best strategy is to split.
Shanshan is a kind of split, while Kucha is another.
The worldly things return to the secular world, and gods and Buddhas belong to 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, it is the beginning of the collapse of faith.
In addition to Busen, hehe, if you want to unite the Western Regions again, the difficulty will basically increase as if they are somersaults...
Han Guo came here with the great monk Zuo, with the purpose of breaking up the royal power and divine power in Kucha. He described the Buddha's country and seduced the great monk Zuo's pursuit of power. When the great monk Zuo was trapped in the desire for power, his mind would be occupied by desire and his mind was lost.
『This time, many Buddha statues were destroyed in Kucha Kingdom...』 Han Guochen said, "This is a mistake... Our General of the Cavalry also said that he will make up for this mistake... In the future, he will allocate funds to rebuild some Buddha statues and recreate the Buddha's glory...』
The great monk Zuo put his hands together and recited the Buddha's name with his mouth, which was obviously very happy.
『But I was thinking, there was one problem...』 Han Guo whispered, "I wonder if the monk is discovering it?"
"What's the problem?" asked the great monk.
Han Guo pointed his hand.
The great monk Zuo looked up and looked in the direction Han Guo pointed.
On the mountain on the side of the temporary residence, there was a Buddha statue drawn by someone who didn't know when. The outline of the Buddha statue was very simple, and it was not filled with complex colors of gold and silver, but it showed desolation and a simple and atmospheric beauty.
There are many such Buddha statues in the Western Regions, large and small, and all kinds of.
The great monk Zuo put his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name again, and then seemed to think of something, and turned to look at Han Guo.
"Look, why are the Buddha statues in Pilang City in Kucha?..." Han Guo smiled and said a question that seemed irrefutable, "And the Buddha statues here can be intact? The previous destruction of Buddha statues in Pilang City is really the disrespect of the Han people to Buddha? Actually, it is not... If you really disrespect, why are the Buddha statues here not also destroyed?"
This is a fact.
The facts before your eyes.
Not only did the Buddha statues where they are currently stationed have not been destroyed, but the Han army did not deliberately destroy those Buddha statues outlined by devout Buddhists in the Western Regions on stone walls and on earth slopes.
Because the Han people themselves are a tolerant, inclusive and even willing to accept many new things. This fine tradition inherited from Yanhuang makes the Han people very tolerant of religion. Even if the autocratic feudal dynasty occasionally destroys Buddhism or Taoism, the people can always accommodate these religions, which can eventually be preserved.
Buddhism, like most other religions, encourages people to be good, so there is no problem with "Buddha" itself. The one with the problem is "Buddhist", which is "people", so the same is true of the problems Han Guo pointed out at the moment.
"So I have an immature idea... Is the destruction of the Buddha statue actually involved because of Kucha?" Han Guo's conclusion came naturally in front of the great monk Zuo. "If there is a completely independent Buddhist country... wouldn't it be affected by these mortal world problems? Just like these Buddha statues..."
"Buddhist Kingdom..." This time, the monk did not say anything to refuse again, but seemed to have begun to think seriously.
Obviously, what Han Guo said does make some sense.
The Buddha statues in Pilang City in Kucha were destroyed, but the Buddha statues on both sides of the road were still intact. If the Han people disobeyed the Buddha and destroyed the Buddha, why did these Buddha statues still be left? If the Han people respected the Buddha, why did the Buddha statues in Pilang City in Kucha be destroyed?
A three-inch dick jumped out and shouted, "There is only one truth!"
Is it natural for the Buddha Kingdom?
A pure, pure, pure place with the supreme glory of the Buddha, flowers blooming, honey water flowing, countless believers and monks are carefree, sick and disaster-free, and they only need to sing praises to the Buddha and recite scriptures every day...
Ah, just thinking about it makes you so beautiful!
And after promoting this matter, can the great monk who finally established the Buddha's kingdom be able to obtain supreme merits and immediately turn over and become the spokesperson of Buddha who is even more respectable than Bu Sen?
The monk Zuo thought, his cheeks flushed slightly. He needed a long breath to barely suppress his surging heartbeat.
『Ahem...』 The monk Zuo hesitated a little, and looked at Han Guo with some expectations, 『This is... what you mean, or the Han people... No, I'm not saying that your suggestions are not good, but if it is... I mean it is..."
The great monk Zuo was a little incoherent.
The great monk Zuo knew that it was obviously not enough to rely on himself, but if he had the most powerful Han people at the moment as support, he might have really succeeded!
The Buddha Kingdom may not need a very big place, but only a city is needed in Kucha. 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 snow water in the sky. Perhaps a Buddha temple can be built on the mountain of Tianshan Mountain, and the walls are covered with chalk, representing purity and white clouds. The monks practicing inside are of course equally pure, and above the white clouds...
The more you desire, the more anxious you are, the more you are, the more you are worried about gains and losses.
Han Guo understood the meaning of the monk Zuo, and he nodded, "I don't think this matter is difficult... After all, we General Cavalry has not personally damaged a Buddha statue so far... Don't worry, there should be no problem..."
If Bu Sen was in front of Han Guo, this old monk would have been able to see through Han Guo’s trap, but he was just a great monk from Kucha and would not have realized the poison contained in this beautiful pancake.
The great monk may not have not noticed the danger, but...
This is really tempting!
Indeed, a country that is separated from the earthly world and belongs entirely to the Buddha will naturally avoid being implicated by other countries. As a free and neutral country, it is impossible to say that it has a transcendent status, which is beautiful to think about.
Han Guo looked at the great monk and smiled. His smile was as pure as the snow on the Tianshan Mountain. "This time, when you go to Pilang City, as long as the great monk is willing to unite with me, advance and retreat together, you will definitely be able to get what you want and establish a Buddha's kingdom!"
The great monk clasped his hands together and pronounced the Buddha's name, "But listen to the donor's orders..."
Buddha's Kingdom!
The two of them laughed together.
It is indeed not too difficult to establish a Buddha Kingdom, but it is limited to this...
Buddha can avoid eating mortal things, take a sip of the northwest wind and take a sip of the incense of faith, and you can be full, but what about people?
Originally, these royal powers in the Western Regions used the divine power to rule the people and maintain the class. After all, the nobles were born as nobles, which was the blessing of the nobles in their previous life. The untouchables were born as untouchables, which was the evil of the untouchables in their previous life. This concept was very popular among the nobles and could also block the complaints of the untouchables. However, the divine power really began to get involved in the royal power, and they had to sit side by side with the royal power and eat fruits. 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 are broken."
And at the beginning, all this may be just because of the bowl of tea in front of you, a speech, a portrait of Buddha, and a beautiful wish...
