On the first day of December, Zhao Ran came to the meeting hall of Baimayuan to participate in the first meeting of the three capitals after he became the abbot.
Supervisor Yuan Hao led everyone to wait outside the meeting hall, personally welcomed Zhao Ran into the meeting hall, and then took their seats.
The meeting hall is not big, that is, it is usually two feet square. Zhao Ran and Yuan Hao sit on the left and right, and sit at the top. Below are the three capitals, as well as the three deacons Zhike, Gao Gong and Xunzhao who are attending the meeting.
As for the participants in the Sandu discussion, among the seven, only Yuan Hao, the supervisor, and Lei Shan, the chef, were from the government, which shows the dominant position of the Taoist sect among them.
Yuan Hao was the first to laugh and said: "When the abbot arrived in Hongyuan, he immersed himself in documents and archives, and went to the countryside for inspections. He is really a role model for us."
Zhao Ran waved his hand: "I'm just understanding the situation. Sitting in this position, I'm always walking on thin ice, trembling with fear. I'm afraid that I'll slap my head when making decisions. It will be the people who suffer when the time comes. No need to say more, let's get started, poor Taoist
Is it a newcomer from the White Horse Courtyard, or is it your lord? My lord listens."
Yuan Hao said: "Abbott, you're welcome." He coughed and began to discuss matters.
"Everyone, there are three things we are discussing today. Let's talk about the first one first. Fan Gaogong, can you tell me?"
Gao Gongfan Zhijie said: "Before the abbot came to Hongyuan, at the invitation of Zeng Jianyuan of Lingshe Monastery in Yongzhen, Nie Duyuan and I went to Lingshe Monastery to exchange Taoism with fellow practitioners of Lingshe Monastery. Nie Duyuan was in Lingshe Monastery.
The "Jade Emperor Sutra" was preached in the Sutra Hall, which was highly praised by fellow Taoists of Lingshe Monastery, and many fellow Taoists of Lingshe Monastery came to ask Nie Du for advice on their problems."
Gu Tengfeng, the Du Guan, Lei Shan, the Du Chef, and others all complimented him, while Yuan Hao and Zhao Ran both smiled and nodded to him.
Du Guan Nie Zhishen nodded slightly and said, "That's too much praise. It's too much praise for Zhijie."
Fan Zhijie continued: "The Dharma conference held by Lingshe Yuan was very successful. Fanzhou Feilong Yuan is also planning to hold a Dharma conference. I received a letter from Feilong Yuan the day before yesterday. The Dharma conference is scheduled for the sixth day of this month. We are invited by Baima Yuan to send people there.
.”
Zhao Ran asked Fan Zhijie: "What suggestions does Fan Gaogong have?"
Fan Zhijie said: "My suggestion is that since the letter from Feilongyuan specifically invites us, we should send people there. It is also a good opportunity for mutual exchanges and discussions. If the abbot can take us there, that will definitely be the best."
Zhao Ran turned to Nie Zhishen and asked, "When it comes to Taoist teachings, this is your responsibility. What do you think?"
Nie Zhishen said: "You can do whatever you want according to the abbot's orders. If the abbot asks me to go and see things, I will go and listen. If the abbot asks me to stay, I will calm down and do my homework."
Zhao Ran then looked at Yuan Hao of the prison, Lei Shan of the governor, and Gu Tengfeng of the governor. The three of them nodded and waited for Zhao Ran to start the decision-making mechanism.
In July of this year, the General View issued two extremely eye-catching edicts. One was the "Edict on the Selection of Monks in the Pavilion and the Jungles of Ten Directions", which selected 20 county monasteries in the country as pilot projects, and the Taoist priests they were in charge of were
The monk Guan served as the abbot, and Sichuan Province identified two pilot counties, one is Wujiyuan in Guyang County, and the other is Baimayuan in Hongyuan Special Mission Area.
The second is the "Three Capitals Agenda", which is a supplementary standard for the selection of Guange monks to serve as abbots of Shifang Jungle. It clarifies three points. First, without going through the three capitals, one cannot become a supervisor, which is equivalent to abolishing the
There are unwritten rules for the Supervisor to select from knowledgeable guests, high-ranking officials or patrolmen; second, it is clear that the abbot participates in the discussions of the three capitals and has one vote, which changes the past practice of "not asking the abbot for decisions in the three capitals"; third, it divides
Responsibilities of the Abbot and the Abbot.
This "Sandu Agenda Model" is basically based on Zhao Ran's original suggestion, and only further improves and fine-tunes the details. However, there is one very important detail that Zhao Ran has not mentioned before, but it was decided by the president.
What is confirmed below is that the power to propose lies with the prison court, and the decision-making mechanism is presided over by the abbot.
In other words, what matters can be discussed at the Sandu meeting is decided by the Supervisory Yuan, and whether it is voted on or passed after the discussion is decided by the abbot.
In other words, when the three capitals were discussing matters, the supervisor explained, "Today we are discussing a few things and what these things are." The abbot said, "For this matter, we started to vote, and for that matter, we started to vote."
I think this matter can be carefully considered and discussed next time.”
Zhao Ran could understand the meaning behind this rule, which was mutual checks and balances. But today he suddenly discovered that in the White Horse Courtyard where he was currently, this rule had brought him a huge benefit.
Because Yuan Hao of the Supervisor and Lei Shan, the chef of the Dudu, were both selected by the government and did not know much about Taoist affairs, or even if they did, they did not understand them deeply enough. Therefore, when voting on evangelistic affairs, they were 90%
There is a chance that he will take himself as the vane. In terms of people's livelihood and government affairs, he is definitely not a layman. Compared with other abbots, he can participate in it to a greater extent.
In this way, the White Horse Courtyard will gradually evolve into a three-capital deliberation mechanism with the abbot responsible!
Zhao Ran suddenly figured this out and tried to preside over the first meeting.
"Exchanging Taoist scriptures more with other colleges can increase our knowledge and broaden our horizons. This is a good thing. But I have just come to Hongyuan and I still don't understand many things. I will not go to this Dharma conference. I suggest entrusting Nie Du to do so.
To make peace, Fan and Gaogong will go to Fanzhou on behalf of our White Horse Court. If there are no other opinions, we will make a decision now."
Zhao Ran raised his hand high: "I agree."
Yuan Hao from the prison also immediately said: "I agree." He looked at Zhao Ran's raised hand and raised it hesitantly.
Du Chu Lei Shan said: "I agree." He raised his left hand first, and then immediately changed it to his right hand.
Du Guan Gu Tengfeng also raised his hand in agreement.
It is said that Nie Zhishen nodded: "Agree." But he was very reserved and did not raise his hand.
The vote passed unanimously, Zhao Ran smiled at Yuan Hao and Lei Shan, and he thought so.
The second thing was proposed by Yuan Hao and supplemented by Lei Shan. Baimayuan has been unable to recruit refugees in the mainland. The Governor-General's Office in Western Sichuan recruited a group this year and specially distributed them to more than 200 people in Hongyuan. These people will be recruited by the end of the month
We will arrive at Hongyuan before.
Lei Shan suggested that the people who were about to arrive in Hongyuan be placed in an abandoned village closest to the city.
Gu Tengfeng continued to nod boredly, while Nie Dujiao frowned and thought deeply. Later, when asked about his opinion, he had nothing to say and just nodded.
Yuan Hao then asked the three deacons participating in the discussion. Except for the inspector who wanted to say something but not yet said it, Zhike and Gao Gong both said they had no objections.
In Zhao Ran's view, this is the current situation of Baima Yuan today. In terms of people's livelihood and government affairs, Taoist priests from Taoist sects basically don't understand and don't care. In terms of preaching matters, Taoist priests from government officials also don't understand and don't care. Therefore, in the three
Such a fragmented phenomenon emerged in the capital discussions.
