Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 128

Fang Guoshou fought with the monks, and refuted all the monks debating the scriptures in the Great Buddha Temple, and then refuted all the monks debating the scriptures in the entire Gaochang City.

That night, Shangbo and his party received the highest courtesy from the Great Buddha Temple.

The Great Buddha Temple gave up the best monk's room, offered meals and fruits, and greeted their relatives, making Shang Bo feel that these monks were too flattering.

The next day came the day when Fang Guoshou taught the Fa. The Great Buddha Temple set up a high platform in front of the Buddhist temple. This is the place where Master Xuanzang taught the Fa in Gaochang City.

Now Shangbo finally understands how devout Gaochang City is to Buddhism.

The square was crowded with monks from various monasteries. Besides the monks, the people of Gaochang people also surrounded the square with water.

If you were an ordinary player, you would probably tremble seeing such a scene, but Fang Guoshou's job is a professor, isn't it just lecturing?What kind of academic conference did Fang Guoshou not attend? This guy is nothing at all.

Fang Guoshou's face was normal, and he climbed up to the high platform of the lecture, and the monks from all over the Great Buddha Temple praised him. This Layman Fang really has a profound Buddha-nature, and he didn't panic in the face of so many believers. It is said that Master Xuanzang was also so calm when he taught the Dharma.

Regarding the content of today's lecture, it was designed by Fang Guoshou and many netizens who discussed it overnight.

After learning that the mission had imprisoned the Great Buddha Temple and that Fang Guoshou had debated the scriptures at the Great Buddha Temple, Cui Tao resolutely discovered that this was a rare opportunity.

Gaochang worshiped Buddhism, and even Li Xiuzhang, the governor of Xizhou who was born as a scholar, was assimilated, which shows the profound influence of Buddhism in the entire Gaochang City.

It is recorded in the history books that there are thousands of Buddha statues and three thousand monks in Gaochang. The recorded figures are not exaggerated at all.

Since Gaochang worships Buddhism so much, it is inappropriate to use a strong suppression of Leiyin Temple.

Not only Gaochang, but many cities in Anxi also advocate Buddhism. Now is the most active era for Buddhists to preach.

During the Tianbao period, the monk Jianzhen traveled east to Fusang, and now he is spreading Buddhism in the island country.

A few years later, the Nepalese eminent monk Padmasambhava would also enter Tubo. In the end, Buddhism defeated the Bon religion and became the state religion believed by the whole people of Tubo.

In addition, Buddhists are also actively preaching in Central Asia and South Asia. This era can be said to be the era of great expansion of Buddhism.

According to the results of discussions between Cui Tao and several players who are familiar with religions, it is not realistic to suppress Buddhism in Longyou Dao. Longyou Dao itself has mixed beliefs. The green religion that eclipse is flourishing day by day.

Instead of suppressing Buddhism, it is better to reform Buddhism.

Fang Guoshou's lecture this time is the best opportunity. Cui Tao and Fang Guoshou, together with several players who have knowledge of religion, wrote the outline of this lecture overnight.

Sitting on the high platform, Fang Guoshou looked around, his treasured appearance was solemn, and he looked like an accomplished monk.

Then Fang Guoshou began to teach the Fa.

At the beginning of the lecture, many monks were fascinated by it.

Fang Guoshou's lectures were humorous and lively. Cui Tao had listened to his lectures back then, and that's why he enrolled him as a graduate student.

But Cui Tao did not expect that the well-known professor who is personable on the podium is a big troll in private.

By that time, Cui Tao had already entered the teacher's school and could only graduate.

When Fang Guoshou was giving lectures, he didn't look aggressive like he was when he was debating scriptures. What he said was very simple and simple. Not only the monks who listened to the lectures, but also the common people could understand what he said.

And this time, the theme of Fang Guoshou's lecture also fell on "accumulating virtue and doing good deeds".

Buddhism in the mid-Tang Dynasty was also a period when a hundred flowers flourished and developed in the Central Plains. The sixth Zen ancestor had just passed away more than ten years ago, and the northern and southern Zen schools were developing each other amid fierce competition.

The Weishi School, the Dharma School, and the Law School are all in their heyday of development.

But this time Fang Guoshou gave a lecture in public, but he didn't talk about the empty philosophical issues that various sects like to discuss, but directly started from the point of "doing good and accumulating virtue".

Fang Guoshou first started with the story of the Buddha who sacrificed his life to feed a tiger, interspersed with a series of familiar Buddhist stories, and finally combined the two things of practice and doing good.

Taking good deeds as the foundation of practice, you don't need to keep precepts to practice, you just need to wholeheartedly help others to do good, then you can enter the Western Paradise after death.

Fang Guoshou expressed his point of view at the end.

Many monks gasped. Although the story of Buddha sacrificing himself to feed a tiger is widely circulated in various religious scriptures, in the past, everyone focused on sacrifice.

Fang Guoshou connected these scriptures and stories together and came to such a conclusion.

Want to refute?

But there seems to be nothing to refute?
Isn't it bad enough to be sprayed by Fang Guoshou yesterday?
Besides, every denomination also has a part to persuade believers to do good deeds. Fang Guoshou just put the importance of doing good deeds at the top of the practice, and it seems that he doesn't have to refute it, right?
Then Fang Guoshou began to quantify the standard of doing good deeds, and the people in Gaochang were fascinated by it.

Fang Guoshou's words are simple and vivid, starting from Buddhist stories and small things around him, so that even the lowest level of common people can understand.

It is also different from the complicated practice rituals in other temples, doing good things is simple!

Even according to Fang Guoshou, sometimes it is not even necessary to do good deeds, as long as you have kind thoughts in your heart, you are practicing.

This is much simpler than the epiphany of Zen Buddhism and the dharma phenomenon of Consciousness-only Buddhism!

By the time Fang Guoshou finished his lecture, it had already dropped from morning to evening.

Cool!
If it wasn't for strengthening his body in the game, Fang Guoshou would have fainted a long time ago!

But the body in the game has already strengthened its strength and endurance. Fang Guoshou talked for a whole day, but his mouth was dry.

This is the lecture with the largest number of people and the most active audience in his career!
The monks of the Great Buddha Temple rushed up to the high platform, and carried Fang Guoshou off the high platform with the etiquette they used to treat Master Xuanzang.

Then monks from other temples also picked up Fang Guoshou and carried him around the square.

The Manichaean monk who was going to debate the scriptures with Fang Guoshou no longer had the courage to go up to the stage to debate the scriptures, so he covered his face and left quietly before the lecture was over.

Shangbo and the surrounding players exchanged glances, this time the plan was successful.

Sure enough, in the evening of Xizhou governor, Li Xiuzhang, the strike envoy of the Tianshan Army, invited everyone to the governor's mansion. Li Xiuzhang held the bronze seal of the governor's mansion and the Tianshan Army's troop order amulet in his hand, and expressed his surrender to King Jianning, the representative of Shangbo.

Shangbo immediately reported the news to King Jianning in Shazhou City.

Li Yan was overjoyed when he heard that, he immediately dispatched a team of players to Gaochang, and the entire server was responsible for taking over Gaochang City and the Tianshan Army stationed in Gaochang.

The mission continued to stay in Gaochang, and waited until the working group arrived in Gaochang before leaving to continue northward to visit the Uyghurs.

　Let's sort out the plot today, there are only two updates.

　　At 9 am and 7 pm, everyone sprays lightly. . .

　　Three shifts will resume tomorrow.
