Four hundred and thirty-two chapters did not write scriptures for the people
Facing Zong's salute, Lao Zhu, who knew what was going on with Zong's situation, smiled and shook his head and sighed: "This is not my great blessing, but your own blessing."
Zong Long did not continue to argue with Lao Zhu. He smiled and told Lao Zhu exactly what he wanted to do today and what happened with Han Du.
After hearing this, Lao Zhu ordered without hesitation: "Come here and announce that Handu has entered the palace!"
Han Du came to the imperial study room, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw monk Zong Li sitting opposite Lao Zhu, chatting and laughing with Lao Zhu.
Hey! What's going on with this monk? How come he has aged so much after not seeing him for two days? You can't be angry with yourself, right?
In particular, Lao Zhu was still chatting and laughing with Zong Li. When he saw him coming in, his face suddenly darkened and he stared at him as cold as water. Han Du felt that he was really angry with him? Otherwise, Lao Zhu would give him a look.
do what.
"Han Du, a humble minister, pays homage to the emperor."
"Hmph, look at the good thing you did." Lao Zhu rarely let Han Du stand down, but just made him kneel down and directly scolded him sternly.
Me? What did I do?
Although when Han Du saw today's formation, the matter must be related to Zong Lai. But Han Du felt that he could still struggle. After all, although what he did was not a good thing for Buddhism, it was definitely a great good thing for the Ming Dynasty.
ah.
I have a clear conscience.
"Please make it clear, Your Majesty." Han Du stared at Zong Lai, as if he was the villain who was telling the truth behind his back.
Zong Ai smiled and said: "Look at what the poor monk is doing, and the poor monk has not complained to you in front of the emperor. Your Majesty, Shengming Zhuzhao, do you think the emperor doesn't know about the things you have done?"
Kneeling on the ground only lasted for a moment, but Han Du felt too much pain. In such a short period of time, Han Du felt as if a dozen needles were pricking his knees at the same time.
Taking this opportunity, he got off the slope and Han Du climbed up from the ground.
When Lao Zhu saw Han Du getting up from the ground without his instructions, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He didn't say anything more and acquiesced to the matter.
Han Du glanced at Lao Zhu from the corner of his eye, and saw that he didn't say anything, and he was relieved. He rolled his eyes, looked at Zong Ai and said with a smile: "Master, has he figured it out in just two days? In fact, if the master hasn't already
To think clearly, you can still give the master a few more days to think about it slowly."
Lao Zhu was obviously very dissatisfied with Han Du just now, but now as soon as Han Du's words came out, he stood quietly aside and kept silent.
Since that day, Zong Long's whole person seems to have undergone a huge change. Originally, he was always cautious in front of Lao Zhu. But now, his words and deeds in front of Lao Zhu are much more casual.
"If you want to abolish the world's temples, then show your ability and let the poor monk see if you have this ability."
When Lao Zhu heard this, his body immediately tensed up, and his right hand was hidden inside his sleeve and he pinched again and again. Just now, Zong Mingming had his back to Lao Zhu, but when Zong Lao said those words, Lao Zhu felt that Zong Lai seemed
It was like looking back at him. But when I thought about it carefully, I felt that it was an illusion.
Han Du was surprised by Zong Lai's straightforwardness. He circled around him twice and still didn't understand why his attitude had changed so much.
Maybe it's because people are getting older and their brains are no longer functioning well.
Han Du was too lazy to think about this. He clapped his hands and said to Zong Lai: "Although Buddhism is full of talented people and the world's monasteries are dotted in countless numbers, you also have a fatal flaw."
"What's the flaw?" Zong Lai looked at Han Du with interest and asked.
I dare to say that Buddhism has flaws. If it were anyone else, Han Du would have been called out by his big mouth.
As a foreign sect, Buddhism was able to rise in a short period of time, and then quickly swept the world. Now Buddhism has completely marginalized the local Taoism. Even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has a deep connection with their Buddhism.
What other flaws does this kind of Buddhism have?
Han Du looked at Zong Lai with a smile and said to the point: "Buddhism is indeed well-known to every household, and there are many believers among the people. But have you noticed a problem, that is, people almost only pray to God when they enter the temple?
Buddhism is only talked about when worshiping Buddha. Ordinary people hardly talk about Buddhism. Do you know what this means?"
Zong Long didn't pay much attention to Han Du's words at first. He didn't know how many times he had seen this method of first suppressing and then promoting. Han Du's tricks were naturally not surprising to Zong Long. But after Han Du's words,
Zong Lai couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
It is indeed like what Han Du said. Although Tianjie Temple is very popular with incense, there are countless pilgrims who enter Tianjie Temple to offer incense every day. But Zongli has almost never heard people talking about Buddhism. Even if they are offering incense, ordinary people
Pilgrims would leave right away without any hesitation, let alone talk about Buddhism.
Only those high-ranking officials would go to the Zen room to talk with monks they knew well and discuss some scriptures.
"Why is this?" I asked if I didn't understand. Zong Lai's words and deeds now seemed to be arbitrary.
Han Du glanced at Lao Zhu out of the corner of his eye and saw that he was looking directly at him. Then he looked back at Zong Long. He thought to himself that he still took the bait.
"The reason is very simple, that is, although Buddhism has many scriptures, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a vast number, but these are all for monks like you. From the beginning to the end, you do not have a scripture for the common people to listen to.
.You have not sincerely entered into the hearts of the people, so how can the people take you to heart?"
If you don’t sincerely enter the hearts of the people, how can the people take Buddhism into their hearts?
As if a thunderbolt flashed through Zong's mind, he looked at Han Du blankly and murmured to himself: "If you haven't entered the hearts of the people, is this what you said, to mold the golden body into the hearts of the people?"
reason?"
Shaping a golden body into the hearts of the people? What the hell is this? Lao Zhu looked at Han Du in surprise, wondering how this kid had such a big brain and how he could come up with so many novel ideas?
After Zong Yi thought for a long time, he looked up at Han Du and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "But it is so difficult to write a sutra that can make people happy to hear Taoism. A poor monk can't do it anyway.
The road is blocked." Zong Lai's meaning was obvious. Although Han Du's words were very reasonable, they were simply impossible to implement and naturally of no use.
Since it is of no use, Han Du's idea of wanting Buddhism to give up the temple field will naturally not be agreed to by him.
