Live Jianbao: Baoyou, you are very wrong

Chapter 658 Sell some cultural relics, the price starts from one million
"What does that say?"

Dr. Shaffer looked at the screen calmly.

"Doesn't the Buddhist school pay attention to the salvation of the world? This way of salvation seems to be based on money!"

Baoyou also paid attention to the usage of homophonic stalks when posting bullet screens, and especially pointed out the word money.

Everyone waited to see how Dr. Shaffer would answer.

After all, this is the key to whether Buddhism is fair or not.

"Buddhas are just, monks are not."

Dr. Shaffer put one hand on his chest and nodded slightly.

"The Buddha made a great wish to save all sentient beings, but monks are still unable to do this and will be influenced by the secular world, so they need to practice Buddhism."

Everyone was stunned.

This reason is simply invincible.

It's like asking whether the person who grabs the seat has quality, and others directly admit that they have no quality.

However, Dr. Shaffer just said it casually, and answered seriously.

"This kind of thing rarely happens in Xuankong Temple, because Bi Temple really treats people equally, no matter how much incense money they pay, they always leave a name, and they are one of the believers."

"But the Xuankong Temple is a key temple supported by the state after all, and there are financial allocations on weekdays, so it is not impossible to survive."

"It is also possible for some small temples to do so in order to maintain the inheritance."

"If monks don't treat pilgrims differently, monks will starve to death. In this case, how to choose is a problem."

"It seems to make sense."

Having said these words, Baoyou also thought seriously.

Both life and death are issues for ordinary people, let alone these members of religious circles.

For them, when they have no other income, whether to believe or live is indeed a serious consideration.

"Then...is there no other way to solve this?"

The friends continued to ask.

"It's hard."

As a Buddhist disciple, Dr. Shaffer has talked about this topic with others countless times, and he still feels emotional when he says it.

"The earliest temples were descendants' temples. They were relatively small, and there were only a few people from my own lineage. In such small temples, I could accept disciples, but I couldn't pass on precepts."

"That's why there was a forest in the ten directions later, which was relatively larger in scale, and the presiding officer and abbot were elected by the monks. This kind of temple can pass on precepts, but it cannot accept disciples."

"These two kinds of temples have their own advantages and disadvantages in the history of Xia Kingdom, and they both exist now."

Dr. Shaffer paused for a few seconds after speaking.

"Of course, the Sons and Suns Temple is now gone in name, but there are some remote areas of Zen Buddhism on the Tantric side that are basically inherited according to the Sons and Suns Temple, but they belong to the Ten Directions Forest in name."

"Does it matter?"

Friends don't quite understand.

They obviously asked about the connection between Buddhist learning and survival, how did they mention this.

"Small temples are basically descendants temples. If there are monks who want to make money, then this line will change, and even go against the original intention."

"As for the big temple, according to the ten-direction jungle, it is generally difficult for all temples to become like this, so we will restrain ourselves."

"The problem you mentioned is actually a dispute between these two temple systems in Buddhism."

After speaking, he sighed.

"In the jungle of ten directions, there are pilgrims and believers offering offerings and reciting scriptures together, but there are not many people in the descendants temple. Only one person wants to donate more incense, so there will be people who chant scriptures alone."

"Once, next time he went to other places, he would also feel that he wanted to chant sutras alone. Other monks also found that this method can get more incense money, so naturally they will follow suit."

"So, the root cause is that our Buddhists don't know enough about themselves."

"..."

Everyone was stunned and didn't recover for a while.

Is there a problem with Buddhism so frankly?

"if not?"

Dr. Shaffer looked at the barrage.

"The poor monk is a monk of the new era, not the idealist monk of the past, but a materialist monk."

"???"

Friends are completely numb.

No matter how much they dared to think, they never thought that there would be monks saying that they were materialistic.

"The poor monk knows that it is difficult for you to understand, but when you understand it, you will know that what the poor monk said is correct."

"This Buddha statue, the poor monk can't say more. If there is a chance, I will show it to the benefactors. I will go and talk to Master Ning about the transportation of the Buddha statue."

Dr. Shaffer disappeared from the live broadcast room after saying this sentence.

Seeing this, the treasure friends didn't want to stay.

After all, they already knew the situation of Shariputra, and it was useless to keep Dr. Shaffer.

"It's so direct!"

"Is Dr. Schaffer purely a tool man?"

Someone in the barrage expressed emotion, and saw Baoyou's new news before he finished speaking.

"Yes."

"The tool man is really hammering!"

"It may also be a fun person."

The friends laughed.

Anyway, Dr. Shaffer is not here, so there is no psychological burden to get dark.

Soon, Ning Fan returned.

"Anyone else want it?"

"Can I have it?"

"Master Ning, can I really ask for it?"

"Is it free?"

"No."

Seeing Baoyou's question, the corner of Ning Fan's mouth twitched, secretly admiring them for daring to think.

"You can choose things from other countries at the original price."

Ning Fan casually pointed to a few things beside him.

The treasure friends swallowed their saliva, knowing it in their hearts.

The random ones that Ning Fan made, they all remembered the origins after listening to the introduction just now.

The golden crown of the Middle Eastern royal family in the Middle Ages, the pure gold scepter of the Pharaoh in the ancient pyramid country, the large tapestries and paintings of the Persian Empire, and the European art works of the Renaissance...

There really isn't much market for these things in the Xia Kingdom, except for a few collectors who really like them.

In the eyes of ordinary players, these medieval and even earlier things are not as good as Qing Dynasty porcelain.

The most important thing is that these things are the most in this treasure house.

For example, there are four or five golden crowns that can be seen, and they are the most common ones.

There are seven or eight other golden crowns inlaid with precious stones, pearls and various other patterns.

The tapestries and paintings even covered half of the wall.

"It's no wonder that Master Ning wants to release these, there are indeed too many."

"Unfortunately, it's aimed at domestic players, and it can't be sold at any price! If there are a few foreign collectors..."

"Mr. Ning, can you take pictures of everything?"

Bao friends are still feeling, there is a message from a person with a foreign name.

It's still the highlighted font, I'm afraid Ning Fan won't notice it.

"Yes, as long as you see it, you can shoot it."

"Then I want the hanging picture of worship in the room, and I'll pay you $100 million!"

Without any hesitation, the speaker pointed out the tapestry painting on the screen.

The treasure friends frowned slightly, a little surprised.

They also saw the hanging picture that this person wanted to buy.

There seemed to be patterns outlined in gold and silver threads in the heavy blanket, and when viewed from another angle, there would be shimmering lights.

There is nothing special about the pattern, just a man in a burqa praying.

They also searched the previous auctions just now, and the value of such a tapestry painting is only 50 million dollars.

This guy said a million dollars, a little too impatient, right?

Or is there some secret about this tapestry that they don't know?
