.Chapter 193: List of Eminent Monks

While enjoying Khrushchev's potato beef, heavy snow fell from the gloomy sky outside. When it snowed, the room was particularly warm. I simply opened the paper door and enjoyed the snow scene at the dinner. 'It's snowing heavily, and there will be a good harvest next year.'

In the past, those who were in charge of the land, no one wanted to report the natural disasters every year. In the winter, those who were in charge of Daming would have to raise their hearts to their throats. Daming would not starve to death, and there was no big problem with the warriors under him, but there was always a disaster and a harvest of land. The people above either starved to death or wandered around to make a living. If someone instigated it, it would easily turn into a rebellion. Therefore, only the people who had eaten enough food were the safest.

After saying that, he glanced out of the door and immediately moved his hand, putting all the rice balls and chopsticks into the plate. ‘Hurry, put them all away, put them in the pot and heat them up, and the guests are here.’

Eating beef is not a sin, but killing a cow is a serious crime. But how can you eat it if you don’t kill it? If someone is seen eating beef, you have to explain it. Although there are witnesses, it is not worth causing trouble for yourself.

Just as Yumu had just put the lid on the pot, the two customers passed by the shop's shop and entered the door to the entrance. When they got closer, they saw that there were two monks with longer hair than me, but they had taken the precepts. I really knew both of these two. Although they were not particularly related, the monks of Yamato Guardian Shunkai and the monk Asahiyama from Kinki of the Hiren Sect could still be scared by these two people. Thinking about it, the young monk Tsuki Shunkai who had still had a runny nose that year. Otherwise, Yamato Guardian would have been snatched away by the Matsunaga family.

‘Tong, Yumu, Xidezi, you go down first. Just have seedlings here to serve you. I talk to the two masters.’ Commanding these three women who have not figured out my true identity. Xidezi just vaguely knows that my identity is not low, but it is so high that it is not something that a woman with deep boudoir can know. In her opinion, the boss of a shop is already as high as a skyscraper.

‘Amitabha.’ Asahi Yama Cheng came in without any hesitation. After chanting the Buddha’s name, he began to search around with his hunting dog-like nose. Finally, the secret in the pot was gone. The potato roast beef was brought out and placed on the table. Asahi Yama Cheng saw the potato roast beef as if he saw his biological mother, and tears came down. ‘How many years have passed. The last time I ate beef was the beef of the abbot when I was ten years old. I even got a bamboo board for it.’

Asahi Yamahara is worthy of being a master of Buddhism. He quickly swept away the painful memories of his childhood and took out a pot of wine like a magic trick. "The road is bumpy, and I haven't eaten yet. I didn't expect that His Highness Kudo is ready. Of course, I won't eat His Highness Kudo's beef for nothing. I invite His Highness to drink."

Why can I use wine when I just got up with my hangover? I wasn't it because of the intention of angering me... At this time, Seiko added a few new pairs of chopsticks. Asahiyama's wine and meat monk could not count on it. Now I can only count on Tsukisu Shunqing to be able to eat vegetarian food to save me a little. I asked Tsukisu Shunqing, "Master Tsukisu? These are all meat dishes, not that good."

Shunqing Tsukii picked up a piece of beef to make it painful, "I'm using some wine and meat, but I just don't eat vegetarian food." Then Shunqing Tsukii quickly proved himself with his actions, and he didn't eat a single ball of rice in a meal and didn't move the potatoes. Fortunately, the beef can be preserved in the open air without salt, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to eat the second fresh beef.

‘The two monks came together, not to come and eat my beef. I?’ Seeing that the two of them were full of wine and meat, I also asked the questions in my heart.

‘Look at what Your Highness said, we are not Bodhisattvas who can calculate and calculate, how could we know that you are eating beef?’

Tsukii Shunkai was just saying that I interrupted him, 'Your Highness, you don't need to mention it anymore. I am just a small businessman between Jeecho and Ishiyama Town, Musashi Kojiro.'

Asahi Yamae asked, "Is this your Dharma name?" The Dharma name is a symbol of monks. For example, Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin are both Dharma names. Although you don't have to go to the temple to take precepts and recite scriptures when you become a monk in Japan, you still have Dharma names and replace your original name.

I said with a thorn in the air, ‘Yes. But few people know about my seclusion here. I really don’t understand how the two masters came to me?’

Shinkai Tsukii burped, 'It's a coincidence that a few days ago, one of my retainers came to Jiechou to buy weapons and equipment. On the way, he saw a great monk basking in the sun outside the chakra house, looking particularly like His Highness Kudo. This retainer had seen you twice, but you don't remember this little person, but he wouldn't forget it. When he came back and told me about this, I happened to know that His Highness Kudo had made a monk some time ago. He reported to Master Asahi Yamahara, a monk from Kinki. The master insisted on coming here in person, and I was here to lead the way.'

I knew that no matter where I went, it would be as eye-catching as the bright moon in the night sky. It was not all good to be too handsome. The problem now is, 'The two masters didn't spread the news, right?' I don't want to change places. This newly-enclosed land has been built half of the affordable housing in the later transition period.

‘That’s not. Our monk’s mouth is the strictest.” Asahiyama said lies without changing his face. I have been in Japan for a long time, and this has not deceived me. Who can’t even know the reason to go to the temple if you buy information? The lady has been in the middle of a long time, and whoever has the money can buy it back as long as she has money. If you don’t give money, the monk’s mouth is the strictest. This should be said like this.

‘That’s good, that’s good.’ I felt a little calm. It seems that I will stop basking in the sun in the future. This will be recognized by others. What else is impossible. ‘Let’s talk about the purpose of the two masters? Could it be that I would invite me to join the Niren Sect?’

‘Amitabha.’ Asahiyama, who put down the wine glass, chanted the Buddha’s name, ‘Musashi’s layman’s eyes and craftsmanship. This time we came here to really invite the layman to join our Nichiren Sect.’

‘You really want to be a monk? When I was shaved, I just wanted to be a lay Buddhist at home. I am afraid I can’t stand the rules and precepts of becoming a monk. Otherwise, I would recognize you as a master, so I would rather practice at home.’ There is a difference between lay Buddhists and monks. Layers have Dharma names and masters, but they are not affected by the rules and precepts. What should I do? It’s just a semi-monarchical state of Buddhist believers. Of course, many lay Buddhists also eat vegetarian food and observe the precepts. This is a personal habit. Most of the Buddhist precepts are to encourage people to be good, kill less, and lie to their parents, etc., which are good. This orthodox Buddhism will not allow believers to post leaflets on the street to write big words to sit and demonstrate.

‘Amitabha.’ Before Asahiyama Cheng spoke, the same thing was still the same. ‘Don’t worry, the rules and precepts of our Nichiren Sect are very few. It is of course good for the great property of Musashi to practice at home. We don’t have to be aware of this wine and meat, but remember to eat the three clean meats.’

‘What are the three pure meats?’

Asahi Yamacheng explained, "One pure means killing without seeing the eyes, two pure means killing without hearing the ear, and three pure means killing without hearing the ear.

I understand, this is a clean eye for invisibility. But if you don’t hear it, it’s clean eye for invisibility and your hands don’t stick to blood. This is easy to say. My meat is mostly pure fish and meat. No one will go to the whale boat just to watch the whale killing scene. As for slaughtering and cutting, it is all done by sailors. I have never stuck to whale blood on my hands.

What else can I say about loose doctrines and loose precepts? ‘Since that’s the case, I’ll join the Nichiren Sect.’ I remember that the Nichiren Sect came to me to join the society just to borrow a celebrity effect. Since the upper power of the Honanji family was uprooted from the Japanese island, the Nichiren Sect has become the number one Buddhist force in Japan. Although there are still many foolish men and women who still believe in the Yichiren Sect in private, but the rats have no leader, and the gradually the Yichiren Sect will definitely decline. The Nichiren Sect is much more peaceful than the Yichiren Sect. Although Oda Nobunaga has confiscated some of the land and weapons of the temples, the Nichiren Sect has never exploded with Ikki organized by monk soldiers and believers. As Buddhists, they are still relatively competent here.

‘Amitabha.’ Asahi Yamahara was prepared and took out a copy of the highest sutra of the Nichi Lotus Sect, “The Lotus Sect is the supreme path of this sect. Zen Master Musashi can slowly study it and use great wisdom to understand the mystery.’

I took it and gestured for a while. It was almost the same thickness as pillows.

Asahi Yamae continued, "The Nichiren Sect recently prepared to carve and print a book of famous people in Japanese Buddhism, but I wonder if Zen Master Musashi is interested?"

‘Do you want me to donate money?’ Basically, this is the case. I can see that it is not much different from those monks who beg for alms. In order to accumulate some merit, these Buddhists don’t donate. However, I just entered the Nilian Sect, so it is not appropriate not to donate at all.

Asahi Yamazen explained patiently, "It's not about fundraising, it's about costing money. This is a very expensive thing to print books. We decided to find some monks who are enlightened in the world to raise funds to collect the amount of money they have printed. Of course, the names and deeds of these monks who are enlightened in the world will be compiled into this book in the book of the famous Japanese Buddhist monks. Among them is Zen Master Musashi."

It seems that I understand something, but it is not very real. I just became a monk and became a Japanese monk? Although a classmate of mine was compiled into the famous doctors in the Chinese famous doctor list not long after he opened a clinic. There are more people who only write the five words "Agree or not" and get a doctorate degree, but this is easy to understand. Is it economic and social, who has no money or power to make up for you? "How much is the ranking of Master Ichikyu?" This is a question I am very concerned about.

Asahiyamaze picked up a list and looked at the order, "If there is no surprise, Master Ikki Sect of the Linji Sect is ranked forty-seventh."

‘Where is the third prince of Saito?’ I remember that Mino Harashi Mino Morida Nobunaga’s father-in-law was also a monk.

‘The third prince of Saito Dao is also from our Nichiren Sect, ranking forty-sixth.’

There is no deviation in this history. Saito Dozo, who is cruel and ruthless, is indeed a monk who is as famous as His Highness Ikki Sectu.

But when I think about it, these two people can only rank about fifty. Who is the most unaffordable person? Could it be the founder of the Nichiren Sect? ‘Master Asahiyama, who is the best monk in Japan?’

‘Amitabha Buddha was the Master Jianzhen, the Vinaya School who crossed the sea to create the Vinaya school in the Eastern Land.’

It was him. If you want to say that Jianzhen was also an amazing person back then. Now only Bethune can compete with him. However, it is much easier to travel to China from all the way to Japan than Jianzhen. Before Jianzhen traveled to Japan, the Buddhism passed down from the Tang Dynasty was changed beyond recognition by these people. Many people like me who shave their heads and declare themselves a monk. Now Kenshin Uesugi is a representative figure of the contemporary Vinaya School. Although he gave birth to two children and had a large group of nuns around me, he finally did not get married publicly. This is a representative figure of the strict precepts among Japanese monks.

After receiving a sponsorship fee of 1,000 yuan, I got a list, which is the current ranking. I am the eleventh, Kenshin Uesugi, and Shingen Takeda. The top ten are all figures who created one sect and one sect in history, and have been transformed into ashes for hundreds of years. There is really no need to compete with these people for this false reputation. I am very satisfied with this ranking.

Asahiyama Cheng got the silver liang and asked further, "I don't know if Zen Master Musashi Kojiro is interested in building a temple and promoting Buddhism. I can just report it here, and there is no need to collect additional money." Asahiyama Cheng, as a monk in Kinki, has this ability correctly.

Think about it, it is also a good choice for me to be the host abbot. Let wives come in and practice with their hair. It is also more in line with the current popular trend. The first choice for Japanese women to get married is a monk. The answer is that you can practice by marrying a monk at home.

Finally, I had a red businessman's character in my bones and said, "I just started a temple when I became a monk. I'm afraid I can't promote any Buddhism. I'd better wait until I read more scriptures and understand the true meaning of Buddhism."

‘Zen Master Musashi Kojiro didn’t understand it. This Buddhist emphasis was on sudden enlightenment. Back then, Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch, did not know the words, even the Bodhi tree was not a tree, and the mirror was not a platform. There was nothing in it, and the noises that were caused by dust were written on it when I asked someone to catch a knife and write it on my behalf.’

‘I know this too, but what does it have to do with me? I haven’t realized it before?’

‘The Buddha said, put down his butcher's knife and became a Buddha, and His Highness is a typical example of this great enlightenment. Otherwise, we would not have compiled His Highness into the eleventh among the Japanese monks. You must know that the top ten monks are all figures like the founders of a generation of sects. It is not much worse than the Sixth Patriarch Huineng.’ Asahi Yamahashi is worthy of being a person who speaks lotus flowers. You must know that no one has become a Buddha after Huineng in China. He actually compares me with the Sixth Patriarch Huineng.

In the eyes of others, it seems that this is true. Oppose war, hand over military power, and shave his head. Is this a great enlightenment? It seems that I will try to go to Ming Dynasty a few more times in the future, and it is best to have a big mistake once. Anyway, this book is still raising funds and cannot be printed in three or five or seven years. Let them write more good things for me. According to the calculation, historical books are also written by humans, not to mention that this is the kind that is half-paid for publication.

I still refused and sent away the two masters Asahiyama and Shin-kyei. I might as well talk about the matter of establishing a nunnery as the abbot. Now the important thing is to make money. The good way I just thought of should not be broken just like this. I wrote a letter to Jinsen of Keicho. I asked him to transport all the goods from the No. 4 warehouse of Weizhang Whale House to Keicho to me.

The No. 4 warehouse of Weizhang Whale House is specially used to load medicinal materials, and is a precious medicinal material. Ninety percent are imported. Jinjina frost produced in the New World, Korean Korean ginseng, deer fetus cream, Tianshan snow lotus, Ganoderma lucidum, deer antler, musk, beef yeast and other high-end Chinese medicine supplements such as donkey-hide gelatin. In addition to some special medicines, my principle of opening a store to sell medicine is that as long as it is the most expensive, it is the best.

For the same condition, ginger and brown sugar can be cured, but snow lotus and Ganoderma lucidum can also be cured. As a pharmacy, which doctor should you prescribe? Needless to say, it must be prescribed by snow lotus Ganoderma lucidum. This is experience, because the hospital deals with us, and when it comes to antibacterial drugs, you use pioneers, regardless of your resistance to drugs. Which one is more expensive is the hospital. What the hospital wants is money and profit. Selling the medicine and collecting money is the biggest victory of the hospital. What does the patient have to do with the hospital?

It is enough to decorate the storefront in a nearby pharmacy. It is only good to look at the complete medicinal materials. Common herbs such as aconite, angelica, and licorice can be used as an aconite.

The soil printing equipment of the Kyoto Newspaper is also working overtime, but it is not a newspaper but a flyer. Although the newspaper must be advertised when it opens, the coverage of the newspaper is limited. In addition to newspaper advertisements, small advertisements posted on the wall are indispensable. In this era, it is not embarrassing to shout at small advertisements, "My illness is saved." The general content is as follows:

Jiaziyuan Boai Pharmacy hires a retired military doctor from Kudo's family to attend a long-term consultation, specializing in treating infertility, impotence and premature ejaculation, etc., and various difficult and complicated diseases. The three-day free medical treatment is 20% off, and free medical treatment activities will be held from time to time in the future.

The so-called free medical consultation means no medical fees. The retired military doctor of the Kudo family can be said to be at the level of an expert. It is not too much to charge a prescription for a symbolic prescription. Although Takezo Goro's medical skills are poor, the most important thing in traditional Chinese medicine is to treat diseases is to have good image and not be able to do things without hair. Takezo Goro looks over fifties, with gray hair and a pleated face. It meets the biggest prerequisite for being a famous doctor - he is old enough. Medical skills are a secondary problem.

After the business is opened, I will ask people to post and distribute them everywhere on the streets and alleys. Whether you recognize words or not, you must send them. Not only do you have to send them, but you also have to yell while sending them. At least the advertising coverage rate of Kinki must reach 80%. Whether you come to see a doctor or not, at least you must let you know about it.

ps: If you don’t have words, no matter where you see this sentence, the top 100 military literature voting for the Global Writing Exhibition has begun. You can enter from the home page, and then click on Military Literature to find this book in the bottom row. I hope everyone can do it and help me click twice. I will send "The Ambition of the Family Supervisor" to the top 30.
Chapter completed!
