Chapter 1472 What’s wrong?
"Little Liu Xu, you still don't understand what I mean!" Tathagata sighed and said, "Indian Brahmaism and Buddhism are like a lotus. Buddhism came into being after Brahmaism. If there was no soil for Brahmaism, how could the flowers of my Buddhism bloom?"

"It's totally incomprehensible!" Liu Xu was also confused. "Why does Buddhism have to rely on Indian Brahma? There has never been Indian Brahma in China, and isn't Buddhism still popular in China?"

"What Xiao Liuxu said is wrong. Although China did not have Hinduism in India at the beginning, it was better than Hinduism in some aspects, so it was also suitable for the spread of Buddhism. It's just that the author's world is now too perfect under your leadership, and there is no soil for the development of Buddhism. Therefore, Hinduism needs to be transformed before Buddhism can be spread!" Tathagata said lightly.

"You are simply..." Liu Xu's face changed several times overnight. This time, Tathagata Buddha made his words completely clear. Why did he have to spread Indian Brahma religion first? Because there was no soil for Buddhism to survive in the entire author's world.

The governing doctrine of Buddhism is to teach that everyone is equal, to encourage people to abandon evil and do good, and to cultivate themselves, abstain from alcohol and meat, etc.

Under what circumstances were these teachings able to spread widely?
That is naturally social inequality, with clear class oppression and division, evil people everywhere, and at the same time, social resources are tight, and ordinary people don't need to abstain from alcohol or meat on a daily basis, because they can't eat alcohol, drink meat, etc.

Only in this situation can the spread of Buddhism be the easiest and simplest, and it can bring psychological comfort to ordinary people living in pain, making them more resilient to exploitation by the powerful. At the same time, it can also induce those powerful people to let go of their greed, actively do good deeds, and more or less give ordinary people some way to survive.

To put it simply, it is an ancient society where class oppression was extremely severe, society was extremely unequal, and ordinary people had almost no way to survive.

By persuading the common people to endure the bad situation in order to gain blessings in the next life, and at the same time believing that doing good deeds can make up for the sins of this life and accumulate blessings for their descendants, or by following the logical approach of praying for Buddha's blessings, the powerful can be made to give up some of their profits, do some public welfare work in society, open soup kitchens or donate clothes, etc., to help the common people live a better life.

In this way, Buddhism had its own soil for survival and became a lubricant between the powerful and the lower classes, which could effectively maintain social stability. At the same time, it also allowed all believers to feel the beauty and kindness of Buddhism, and thus they began to believe in Buddhism, which eventually led to the great prosperity of Buddhism.

This is the fundamental reason why Buddhism was able to flourish in India and China, because the ancient times of these two worlds were extremely unequal, and a large number of ordinary people lived a life like cattle and horses. They really needed the nourishment of Buddhism to be able to sustain their spiritual life.

But thanks to Liu Xu's efforts, the author's world today has become an extremely modern world with less oppression. Although people are not equal, there are multiple means of supervision, and it is extremely difficult for the powerful to oppress ordinary people.

The most important thing is that ordinary people have the opportunity to become rich overnight by writing novels and become extraordinary people like contracted authors. This leads to the fact that the powerful people dare not go too far. After all, no one is sure whether the person they bully at will will one day become a contracted author and seek revenge on them.

The worst thing is that because of the existence of the great gods, the heavenly way, the will of the world, and the gods and Buddhas have all been completely dismissed. Ordinary people also know what gods and Buddhas are, so it is difficult to expect them to pray to the gods and Buddhas to numb themselves. Therefore, there is no soil for Buddhism to survive in the entire author's world. Tathagata can't find enough believers to promote his own Buddhism, so the only way is to push the whole world back into the abyss of inequality.

Let the ancestor of Buddhism, Hinduism, flourish first... After all, although the current author world is not suitable for the survival of Buddhism, it is extremely suitable for the development of Hinduism. All the people in the author world want to become celestial beings who get something for nothing, and there happen to be 50 billion new humans who can be oppressed. So if there was no bug like Liu Xu, the development speed of Hinduism could be described as rapid. In a few years, the whole world would be like India in the past, and would fall completely into the embrace of Hinduism.

And those 50 billion oppressed untouchables and old humans naturally became the best soil for the development of Buddhism. Buddhism could take root between these oppressed old humans and the heavenly people, and become the lubricant between the two groups again. Then it could find a way to replace Brahma step by step, and eventually become the largest religion in the entire author's world.

At the same time, because the world alliance formed by Liu Xu is centered on the author's world, the Hindu religion can also develop outward along the entire author's world and turn all new worlds within the entire alliance into the territory of the Hindu religion.

After that, if Buddhism continues to develop in the same way as in the past, within a few hundred years, this world made up of thousands of worlds, with countless trillions of people, will all become believers of Buddhism.

With these believers, he, the Buddha Tathagata, can naturally gain countless incense and faith. Relying on the world power transformed by these faiths, he can return to his peak state in an instant and become the Buddha Tathagata who is second only to the saint and closest to the master of the great heavenly world.

"Buddha, I have always believed that Buddhas are compassionate and want to make the world equal and full of truth, goodness and beauty. But I never thought that you would be the first one to make the world unequal, the first one to plunge the world into endless sin and abyss."

"Are you a Buddha or a devil? As a Buddha, aren't you afraid of going against your original intention? Aren't you afraid of your spiritual heart being shattered?" Liu Xu asked, gritting his teeth.

"Little Liu Xu, we are all masters of the world, why do we have to look at these things from the perspective of mortals?" Tathagata said expressionlessly, "The life span of mortals is only a hundred years, and compared to the entire void, it is as insignificant as smoke and dust, not worth mentioning. Only the eternal and indestructible perfect world is fundamental."

"Besides, mortals don't really die. Their souls just keep reincarnating in the world. Only when the world is destroyed will they truly die. Just like when the primitive world was destroyed, who knows how many trillions of mortal souls completely dissipated, cutting off the past and the future."

"So we need to strengthen ourselves. Only when the masters of the world like us become stronger can we protect our world forever. For this reason, it is reasonable to let mortals endure a little suffering. Moreover, as long as reincarnation continues, the weak who suffer in this life, as long as they accumulate virtue and do good deeds, I can use Ksitigarbha to let them reincarnate into a royal and wealthy family in the next life. This can be regarded as the retribution of good and evil. How can I, the Buddha, do anything wrong?"
