Chapter 2030 Microscopes

Although Li Qiushui was just a child, because his family had a little income, his grandparents were good at collecting books when they were generous, but when he became an adult, he went all over the world to do business to support his family.Knowledge is more than others.He hesitated and asked: "The master's spells are really exquisite, and the students admire them. However, there have been people with Taoism throughout the ages, and no one has used Taoism to stabilize the country. The master said 'Australia uses Taoism to strengthen the country'. Students have never heard of it." .”

Cui Hantang proudly said: "The Great Dao is formless, it gives birth to the heaven and the earth; the Dao is ruthless, it moves the sun and the moon; the Dao has no name, it grows all things. There are [-] Dharma Doors under the Dao of Heaven, either for work, or for agriculture, or for business, or for governing the country. Even piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, firewood, rice, oil and salt can all be entered into Taoism, and one of them has already been used for a lifetime. What you have seen is just like the one I just performed just to show off the superficial tricks. .

Li Qiushui was surprised when he heard the words: "According to the words of the Taoist chief, could it be that Australia... the elders are all people who have attained the Tao? I don't know what the Taoist cultivated, have they already attained the Tao?"

Cui Hantang said embarrassingly: "The way of enlightenment is cultivated by the poor. The real way is profound and subtle. It is a blessing for a mortal to have a little energy in his life. I have only just started, so how dare I say it is good?" What about?"

A scholar next to him hurriedly said: "Please ask the master, Xiaosheng is also quite admiring, so he has no choice but to enter the door. I wonder if the master can teach me?"

Cui Hantang said with a smile: "The Dao is selfless, how can you cherish it with a broom! But if you want the right way, you must first understand the 'original heart', which is the heart of people's attitude towards life when they live in the world. From this, you can determine which way you want to pursue the way of heaven. Once you decide to practice this way, you must break through all kinds of worldly constraints, let go of material interests outside of your body, be brave and diligent, observe carefully, conjecture boldly, seek proof carefully, and summarize seriously Only with such great determination and perseverance can one achieve success. Of course, determination and perseverance alone are not enough. If you want to truly enter the Tao, you need: teacher, law, wealth, partner, land, and utensils, and then water and kung fu.”

Li Qiushui said: "I've heard that to learn Taoism, you need law, wealth, spouse, and land. This 'teacher' is easy to understand. After all, the master leads the door and the cultivation is up to the individual, but how can this 'vessel' be interpreted?
Cui Hantang replied: "The Dao is far-reaching and subtle. Sometimes manpower is poor in the far-reaching places, and the subtleties are invisible to the naked eye. At this time, it is necessary to use utensils to assist in the practice. Without this way, it is difficult to improve."

While talking, someone reported that Shi Tong'an had come.

This Shi Tongan is a disciple of Master Hanshan, the former abbot of Guangxiao Temple, a famous temple in Guangzhou.

The monks in Guangxiao Temple are all disciples of Master Hanshan.During his lifetime, Han Shan advocated active participation in the world, and widely made friends with secular dignitaries and celebrities, from the royal family to the county gentry; he not only talked about Buddhism, but also talked about poetry and governance; Later generations called it "political monk".

Han Shan encouraged Buddhist disciples to actively participate in world affairs and follow Confucian ethics.Han Shan said: "Those who speak of humanity are the rulers and ministers, and they cannot be involved in bathing and benefiting life." In Buddhism, Han Shan put forward the proposition that "emptiness is not absolute nothing".He believes that "everything is empty" does not exist, and the "emptiness" in Buddhism should serve the reality in a detached way.

Although inside and outside the Buddhist sect there are criticisms about his faction's focus on "common affairs", it is obvious that this is quite beneficial to the survival and development of Buddhism.And such a concept is even more suitable for the Senate.Soon after entering the city, the abbot of Guangxiao Temple actively approached the Senate.It seems to have become the spokesperson of the Buddhist circle in Guangzhou.

Cui Hantang naturally tried his best to win over such activists.After he became a director, he put forward the policy of "three religions, one family, common development, shelving disputes, and common advancement and retreat" in line with the Taoist thought of "no competition for superiors, and governance by doing nothing".Uniting the religious circles in Guangzhou has formed a force that is not small.That is to say, it met the purpose of the Senate that "religious circles cannot occupy the means of production" and divested the industry, and kept the orthodoxy and real estate of some small and medium-sized temples; therefore, it is quite prestigious among local religions.Shi Tong'an also often comes here to walk around.

This time, Fumeng went to Guangxiao Temple to "make a fortune" and let the Buddhist circle "happy to help", which made the host quite strange-Cui Hantang is rarely so straightforward when it comes to making money.The host wondered if Taoist Cui had some personal expenses, so he asked Shi Tong'an, who usually walked around on weekdays, to "visit" and find out, if necessary, he might as well make a private contribution.

As for why Guangxiao Temple was so respectful to Cui Hantang, and even wanted to send money in a hurry, it was really helpless.Because after Taoist Cui arrived in Guangzhou, he talked about "integration of old and new" and "religious reform".For this reason, in fact, the Taoism in Guangzhou was completely brought under his control. Although the Taoism still exists in many Taoist temples, the abbot is still in place.In fact, it has become a vassal of the new Taoism. It will probably change its appearance after a few generations of presiding.

The host is afraid that the Australians will also come to "new Buddhism", so he flatters Cui Hantang in order to have such a senior man who can speak for Guangzhou Buddhism one day, so there is more room for change.

Shi Tong'an just came in, and seeing the hot scene, he knew that Taoist Cui was fooling scholars again.He has been to the Temple of the Five Immortals many times, and he knows that this elder priest "has a very big picture". He not only runs a school in the temple to train Taoists, but also actively attracts scholars.Not only did he have frequent contact with famous local Confucian scholars, but also the group of "poor people" in front of him also shared his heart.

"You monk came at just the right time." Cui Hantang was planning to put a satellite, and when he saw Shi Tong'an coming, he thought to himself as the saying goes, "One sheep can be chased, and two sheep can be released too", just to open the eyes of this monk and let him know The "Taoism" of our Senate.

"I'm going to show you a treasure here. The cultivation of this thing can give you a glimpse of the secret of good fortune, but mine can only be regarded as the simplest and most elementary. But I can also show you what the naked eye can't do in the past. Things to watch."

His mysterious remarks really aroused everyone's interest, and they all asked for a look.Shi Tong'an originally wanted to test why Daoist Cui wanted to get money recently, but it was hard to open his mouth, so he could only smile and say that he wanted to see it too.

Cui Hantang immediately ordered his disciples to go to the apse to bring a mysterious magic weapon. They saw that it had a bracket, and there was a round tube between the brackets, which looked like a binoculars. No one knew what it was.Cui Hantang smiled and said: "This object is called a microscope. The poor Taoists have recently taught Taoists to understand the microscopic structure of things. This object can not only see the composition of all things, but also see tiny creatures. You may wish to take a look."

This microscope was made by the Lingao Optical Instrument Factory—it was a first-level control item brought from the old time and space, and it couldn't be used by a "non-scientific research and production" organization like New Taoism, even if Cui was a veteran.So he could only reluctantly use Lin Hanlong's "special offering" "made by himself".

In terms of performance, this microscope can't even reach the level of the worst student microscope in the old time and space. Strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a "toy".However, its performance is much stronger than that of the microscope invented by Leeuwenhoek.

Cui Hantang took out a box of biological specimens, got some water, and said, "Come on, let's take a look one by one."

Although the crowd didn't know what a microstructure is, they came together to watch it curiously. Cui Hantang adjusted the focus and mirror, placed the glass slides, and guided them to observe plant leaf cells, mosquitoes, mites, paramecium and other objects.Everyone was amazed, and had a more intuitive understanding of the knowledge of Australians and the way of imperial weapons.

Shi Tong'an even gave Jishou a deep salute: "Amitabha, thank the benefactor for taking a look at this artifact. The Buddha said, 'It is small without inside, and it is big without outside. There are one hundred and eight thousand insects in a drop of water. Three thousand great thousand worlds', and It is said that the human body is like a house, and countless sentient beings live in it. I used to doubt the Buddha's Dharma with my naked eyes. Today, I realized that what the Buddha said is true, or that I have not practiced enough. I have a deeper understanding of the Dharma. Good, good, good!"

Cui Hantang didn't expect that his popular science could be quoted from Buddhist scriptures, and he couldn't help but laugh.Although Cui Hantang explained the principle of the microscope, everyone didn't care to listen, they just looked around the microscope and were amazed.

It was not until dusk that he reluctantly left.

Shi Tong'an didn't leave, and he still wanted to test Cui Hantang's real purpose of "making money from a wedding ceremony", but it was quite difficult to open his mouth about it.After pondering for a moment, he said: "The head of Fumeng came to the small temple a few days ago and talked about Zhang Shi's main ritual..."

"I know about this," Cui Hantang said carelessly, wondering if this monk is worried about money and wants to bargain?If this is the case, the only way is to come before the money is paid. How can we talk about it after the money is paid?

"This group wedding is a blessing that benefits people. Zhang Shi mainly prayed for it, and it also planted a field of blessing." Shi Tong'an looked at Cui Hantang's face, "Although the poor monks are disciples of Buddhism, they are also of the same family as Taoists. It is a blessing to be able to meet its prosperity. Cui Daochang also has immeasurable merits and virtues, and everyone in the small temple admires..."

What he said made Cui Hantang a little confused, thinking that you don't need to come to show your loyalty, right?

Seeing Cui Hantang's confused face, Shi Tong'an didn't answer his words at all.I was secretly anxious, so I had to make it clear: "I don't know if Taoist Cui has anything else to ask Xiao Si to do his best besides this matter? Whether it is public or private, Xiao Si must do his best."

Cui Hantang suddenly realized that this is what the monk meant!
"This group of monks knows something!" Cui Hantang couldn't help feeling a little more fond of Shi Tong'an and the others.Naturally, as a patriarch, he didn't like this kind of filial piety.However, people have little resistance to flattery.He smiled immediately and said, "You bald donkey! You will be flattered! What can I spend money on? Drinking and raising a little wife?"

Shi Tong'an said with a smile: "The Taoist priest is joking. It is true that the poor monk saw that since the Taoist priest entered the city, I have worked hard for my Taoism and Buddhism, and I have done a lot of merit. Even if I want to enjoy it, I should of."
