The rise of the poor

Chapter 772 I'm Not Happy

"I couldn't get angry, so I went to the stinky donkey in Baiyun Temple to make a theory. They said that it was the stupid monk Manjusri who made people stand up. What kind of shit monk said that my uncle was screaming and killing, what kind of a nose has already entered devil way"

When Baozi's little maid said it, her face flushed with anger, and her delicate body trembled, she couldn't be more angry.

In fact, the signboard of Baiyun Temple was erected by monks only last night.

Yesterday, the eminent monk, Master Wenshu held a Dharma meeting at Baiyun Temple. Many believers came, and the Dharma meeting went smoothly. But after the Dharma meeting was over, Master Wenju and the host and deacon of Baiyun Temple discussed Buddhism while having fruit tea. At that time, a deacon of Baiyun Temple said that a nearby Taoist temple suddenly became popular recently, and many people who oscillated between Buddhism and Taoism and even some Buddhist believers also went to the Taoist temple to participate in their celebration of Cihang Daoist Enlightened Hongdao Zhaijiao.

Speaking of this, a monk said that it was all caused by Zhu Ping'an's article "Kneeling Before the Buddha for 3000 Years", which aroused the resonance of many monks.

This article suddenly spread in the capital in the past two days, especially in religious circles and literary circles.

But the eminent monk, Master Manjusri, didn't know. He had been in retreat and participated in the Dharma performance in preparation for this Universal Dharma Conference a few days ago.This is the first time he has heard of Zhu Ping'an's "Kneeling Before the Buddha for 3000 Years".

Hearing the deacon of Baiyun Temple say that the heyday of incense viewing was caused by Zhu Pingan's "Kneeling in front of the Buddha for 3000 Years", the eminent monk Manjusri was a little strange.

"Amitabha... "Kneeling Before the Buddha for 3000 Years"... Judging by the name, this is a young man with a Buddha heart." The eminent monk, Master Manjusri put his palms together, said a Buddha's name, and commented with some doubts.

How can Master Manjusri not be puzzled? The title of Zhu Ping’an’s article is 3000 years of kneeling in front of the Buddha, and 3000 years of kneeling in front of the Buddha. This is a child with a Buddha’s heart and nature. Why do you still talk about his article? Is it the source of trouble for the prosperity of Taoist incense?

The monks of Baiyun Temple listened to Master Manjusri's words, all of them looked as if they had swallowed a fly in their throats, and felt uncomfortable.

In the end, Master Abbot of Baiyun Temple clasped his hands together, shook his head with a wry smile, "Amitabha, Master Manjusri doesn't know something, this "Kneeling Before the Buddha for 3000 Years" is completely different in appearance and inside, the old monk has been sitting in meditation for more than fifty years. It's been a year, but after reading this article, Bodhi Mirror will inevitably get dusted."

"Oh?"

When the eminent monk, Master Manjusri heard the words, he couldn't help being even more puzzled. This article "Kneeling Before the Buddha for 3000 Years" actually loosened the Zen mind of the presiding abbot.

"Ah... the master knows it just by looking at it." The presiding abbot of Baiyun Temple smiled wryly, took out a crumpled rice paper from under the futon and handed it to Master Manjusri.

"That poor monk, let's see where the sacred "Kneeling Before the Buddha for 3000 Years" is." Master Manjusri reached out to take the rice paper handed over by the abbot of Baiyun Temple, straightened his body and said, thanking Zhu Ping'an's article very much interest.

"I have knelt in front of the Buddha for 3000 years, and I have not seen my Buddha's heart feel pity. It is because the dust covers the Buddha's eyes, so it is because there is no incense money. If the Buddha is not greedy, why does the world have to offer it? The Buddha does not love vanity, why does the world have to kneel down... ..."

While watching, Master Manjusri recited aloud. Master Manjusri has long been practiced in reciting the Dharma, and his voice is full of magnetism and appeal.

When reading the first sentence, Master Manjusri had a smile on his face that all beings are equal. When he read the second sentence, the smile on Master Manjusri’s face of lifelong equality disappeared. She was getting smaller and smaller, and her emotions became more and more agitated, and even a trace of fear appeared on her face.

At the end, Master Manjushri shook his head while reading, and commented emotionally, "In troubled times, Buddha: Close the mountain gate and don't care about world affairs. Dao: Lead the people to go out of the mountain and hang pots to help the world. In peaceful and prosperous times, Buddha: Purdue all living beings People in the world. Said: Returning to the mountains and forests, studying the Taoism...absurd, ridiculous, far-fetched..."

"Pagan religions in foreign countries corrupt people's hearts and steal money and food. You should be punished! You don't see the Buddha crossing the people, but the Buddha is plated with gold. It should be destroyed! You don't see the monks eating fast and reciting scriptures, but you only see the bald donkey wearing gold and silver. You should be killed! Hey! You bald donkey Dare to deceive people in the Daoist dojo, and spread the evil methods of foreign religions. I really think that there is no one in China! Seeing that the Taoist pushed your temple and smashed the golden body! Give me a bright future in China!"

When he saw the last part, Master Manjusri could no longer recite it, but just watched the end with a serious and indignant face.

"Amitabha Buddha... the way of heaven is ruthless, all living beings are suffering, the world of mortals and six desires, I am willing to rise and fall! Zhu Ping'an "judged" one "killed" one "destroyed", and threatened to push down temples and smash golden bodies. He is so ferocious, which shows that he has been deeply involved in the Abi demon. The way is hard to extricate ourselves from. In order not to deepen this evil karma, but also to avoid accidents for the monks and believers in our temples, the poor monk suggested that all temples should not welcome Zhu Pingan. I will not go to hell, who will go to hell, Amitabha, etc. Let the poor monk alone bear the bad reputation."

The eminent monk, Master Manjusri, uttered a Buddha's name, and said with a look of treasure, his words were peaceful and indisputable.

"It's good, it's good... Master Manjusri's move is comparable to Shazun feeding an eagle with his body." The abbot master of Baiyun Temple praised.

The abbot of Baiyun Temple spoke highly of Master Manjusri's actions. In just a few days, Zhu Ping'an's article has already revealed its negative influence on Buddhism. There are many more believers.

Although the impact on Baiyun Temple is not obvious now, the abbot has a long-term vision. Now this article has only been spread for a few days and is limited to the capital. If this article spreads widely for a long time, it will affect the entire Buddhism. But it's big.

If left alone, I'm afraid the result will be even worse, the loss of believers may even affect the Buddha's luck.

This kind of passionate article can mislead the masses who don't have much discernment ability.

As for the consequences of doing so?
I heard that Zhu Ping'an is a scholar and a sixth-rank official, so he must have many scruples, and he won't act like a street thug.

At most, make a statement, or argue aggressively.

However, it would be the best if it could attract Zhu Pingan to come to debate Buddhism.

When it comes to debate, Buddhism has never been afraid of anyone.Buddhism attaches great importance to advocating debate, and many Buddhist profound meanings are understood through mutual debate.The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism that lasted for thousands of years ended in the complete defeat of Taoism in the previous dynasty.Taoism was disgusted with Yuan Dynasty and lost in the two debates in the eighth year of Emperor Xianzong and the 18th year of Zhiyuan Dynasty, which caused the imperial court to order the burning of Taoist scriptures twice. Since then, Taoism has declined day by day, and Buddhism has flourished.

If Zhu Ping'an came to argue, it would be able to eliminate the influence of Zhu Ping'an's articles and add fire to the prosperity of Buddhism.

Good, good.

Therefore, in front of the gate of Baiyun Temple, there was an additional sign saying "Zhu Ping'an and dogs are not allowed to enter!".

The abbot of Baiyun Temple and others thought very carefully, but he ignored that Zhu Ping'an is a man and a scholar, but some people are not.

Li Shu listened to Baozi's little maid's narration, her black eyebrows raised, her dark eyes were as clear as autumn water, she covered her small cherry mouth with her slender hands and giggled coquettishly, but there was no warmth in her voice, instead it was chilling. Like a red plum blossoming in the wind and snow, "Heck, what an eminent monk, what a painter of Baiyun Temple, you go and tell Wang Xiaoer to bring more people and smash the gate of Baiyun Temple in Laoshizi, Then paint this poem on the Daxiong Palace."

As she spoke, Li Shu took the pen and ink, and wrote a poem on the rice paper: The niche dragon goes to the east, and the sun fades to the west.Jingwen is not here today, and the gravel has fallen into quicksand.

"Miss, are you really going to smash the door? What reason are we looking for? We won't cause trouble for my uncle, right?" Baozi's little maid asked.

"I'm not happy, isn't that a good reason?" Li Shu's cherry mouth raised a beautiful arc.

"Will that cause trouble for my aunt?" Baozi's little maid asked again.

"Get into trouble? Heck, maybe, if I smash it, your son-in-law will be promoted." Li Shu's dark eyes were shining with brilliance...

Baozi's little maid looked bewildered, didn't this cause trouble, how could she be promoted, the lady must be confused.

"Then what about the scriptures? How can you pray for blessings if you smashed the gate of someone's temple?" The little maid of Baozi thought of another thing.

"Stop copying Buddhist scriptures, copy Tao Te Ching instead, and send them to Taoist temples to pray for blessings." Li Shu smiled sweetly, charming and coquettish.
