Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 613 Visiting, the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism

However, it is also influenced by the concepts of later generations, although there are many people with a large age gap.

But Shu An said that his three views are still very upright, so now he wants to ask Wu Shun what he thinks.

For him, if Wu Shun stays by his side, it is undoubtedly a waste of youth.

This is not Shu An's first interrogation, but it is destined not to be the last.

"My lord, I won't go anywhere!"

Facing his master's interrogation, Wu Shun shook his head vigorously and said, with a hint of determination in his words.

At the same time, there is some small resentment in my heart for the arrival of the princess. If the princess hadn't mentioned this matter, then the master would not have mentioned it.

After hearing Wushun's words, Shu An didn't continue to speak, because it would be good if he knew his heart.

The peaceful days are very satisfying for Shu An, and the things in the grassland have also begun to gradually progress.

Among them, a large amount of money began to be invested in the grassland, and Shu An didn't care about this matter.

"Master, Taoist Qingze wants to visit you."

However, there was a trace of extraordinaryness in the calmness. On this day, Laifu came to the academy and brought a piece of news to Shu'an.

Even Shu An was slightly surprised at the first moment, as if he didn't understand why Qing Ze came to visit.

Naturally, the first reaction was to think of those Taoist priests who helped him research gunpowder. Could it be that Qingze still came for them.

After thinking about it, it should be impossible, after all, the previous results have come out.

It's ten years, so there will be an explanation for this emperor and others.

That excludes this incident, that is what happened recently.

"Laifu, do you know why?"

Naturally, what Shu An asked about was Laifu. You must know that Qingze is not that simple. Being able to become a Taoist representative before means that he still has a lot of skills.

It's just that although Shu An stayed in the Daoist sect for a while, he has already withdrawn now.

He can only be regarded as half of the people in the Taoist sect, so he doesn't care about the Taoist sect's struggle for power.

"Master, it is said that this time an eminent monk from the Tiantai Sect will come to preach the Dharma."

Laifu immediately spoke out, obviously he had made sufficient preparations before coming, just for the possible inquiries from his master.

"A dispute between Buddhism and Taoism?!"

Shu An's eyes flickered and whispered softly, even in this era, the two schools of Zen and Taoism still influence many people.

Of course, the influence of Zen sect is far greater than that of Taoism, and of course it refers to ordinary people.

Although judging from the history, it will show that in this era, there are some inactions in the Taoist school, which led to the rapid growth of the Zen school.

But is this really the case? Obviously not, or it can be said that Zen and Taoism take different routes.

Among them, the Zen sect is following the route of the common people, and has begun to infiltrate those powerful people. As for the Taoist sect, it is following the route of the upper class.

This choice is not a voluntary choice, but is determined by different teachings.

On its own, Zen is still better, but for Datang, if many people escape into Buddhism, then whoever will farm and who will join the army.

Speaking of it, this matter still has a lot to do with him. Originally, the development of Daoism is still possible, at least many of the upper-level dignitaries are enveloped by Daoism, not Zen.

However, last time he directly broke the news about the poisonous alchemy for the sake of gunpowder.

As a result, the reputation of the Daoist sect was seriously damaged, and many of the courtiers were afraid that they would not be able to make it, so they directly abandoned the Daoist sect.

The Taoist sect, which was originally on the weak side, is now even more crushed by the Zen sect.

As a result, this time the eminent monks of the Tiantai Sect came to preach the Dharma, which made the Taoist sect nervous.

The Dao School hadn't restored its previous influence in Chang'an before, but the Zen School wanted to intervene instead, how could this be tolerated.

"Let Qingze come to the academy."

After thinking about it for a while, Shu An still spoke out, and if there is a cause, there will be an effect.

Whether it was the previous reason or the reason of his origin, it is doomed not to let this matter go unnoticed.

What's more, Shu An didn't think much of the words of Zen, mainly because he didn't like some teachings of Zen.

Could it be that eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha can make Huaxia develop? This is simply impossible.

"Yes, sir!"

Laifu said without hesitation, then turned and left to arrange.

And Shu An's eyes revealed a gleam of light as he watched Lai Fuli's leaving figure. You must know that throughout the Tang Dynasty, the shadow of the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism was buried in history.

However, more often than not, it is more appropriate to say that it is more appropriate to restrict Zen, because the doctrine of inaction in Taoism has led to not many believers.

This matter still needs to be carefully planned, presumably Li Shimin in the court should also be troubled by this matter.

You must know that with the end of the Liaodong and Grassland Wars, it means that there is no threat from the outside of Datang.

Then when it was time to rectify the interior, I guess Li Shimin must have thought the same way.

Among them, the Zen School is also the object that needs to be rectified. Of course, Li Shimin must also know that it is impossible to drive it out.

But it will definitely be restricted, that is to support Taoism, and it is for this reason that Shu An is not as anxious as he imagined.

Although Shu An was not in a hurry, someone was like an ant on a hot pot.

"I've seen Duke Anxuan!"

Qingze's respectful voice sounded, and after getting the answer, he hurried over without daring to delay at all.

"Have some tea!"

"Long time no see, how is Fellow Daoist?"

A smile appeared on Shu An's face and he said that in future generations he will be regarded as a person without faith, but he will still be closer to the Taoist sect.

This has nothing to do with belief, but mainly because the teachings of Taoism make him like it.

"Thank you, Lord Anxuan, for your greeting."

"However, Qingze has been unable to sleep at night recently, and has been worried about the development of Daoism."

Qing Ze didn't make many twists and turns, but described the recent situation in simple words.

Among them, Shu An also had no plans, instead, he just listened to Qing Ze's narration, after all, he had been away from the Daoist sect for many years.

I don't know much about Taoism, but I can hear a lot of helplessness from Qingze's words.

Taoism is also not monolithic, and not many people agree to oppose Zen.

After all, the Taoist sect pays more attention to the word fate, and they prefer to find a place deep in the mountains and old forests for Qingxiu.

There are not as many conflicts with Zen as imagined, but people like Taoist Qingze still have a deep sense of crisis in their hearts.

If one day everyone knows about Zen, but not Daoism, then maybe there will be no one to accept disciples.

It is for this reason that Qingze has been working hard for Taoist unity and confrontation, but unfortunately some things have not achieved great results.
