"Buddhists are good people, but they don't teach people to die..."

"Does it make a difference?"

"The difference is huge, Prince Consort of Qin, don't misinterpret the meaning of Buddha..."

"Then why did I hear that there are more than 100,000 acres of land under Huichang Temple? Where did this land come from?

I also heard that Huichang Temple used to lend money to common people. When did the Buddha also start a pawn shop?

There are thousands of people in Huichang Temple, and all their food, clothing, housing and transportation are from pilgrims, but they cannot provide the court with a copper coin in tax revenue.

On the contrary, the land under one's name is exempted from taxes, and the people in the temple are exempted from corvee.

Where is the Buddha here? These are clearly rich people!"

Qin Mo said with a smile: "A place that doesn't do production, does no corvee work, doesn't pay taxes, and likes to persuade people to put down the butcher's knife.

How many things are hidden inside that others can’t see?

How many people put their excess land in the name of Huichang Temple in order to avoid land surveying?

I said more than 100,000 acres is still a small amount.

Does Zen Master Tripitaka know this?"

Daozang was speechless when asked, because Qin Mo's words were indeed true.

For a moment, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "Captain Prince Consort of Qin, please listen to this poor monk's explanation.

"Is there any explanation?"

Qin Mo said with a smile: "In the past two years, the imperial court has begun to exempt from corvee service, and in a few years, even taxes will be exempted.

In fact, temples have little appeal to ordinary people.

And what's interesting is that I checked yesterday and found that there are quite a few monks in Huichang Temple who have issued ultimatums, but there are even more monks who have not issued ultimatums.

These monks who have no ultimatum are having children outside, does Master Tripitaka know?"

Daozang was speechless.

Qin Mo added: "You still don't know what the problem is, right? It doesn't matter if you don't know, because you have been a monk since you were a child. You grew up in this environment and take everything around you as a matter of course.

But I tell you, if you continue like this, you will die.

Do you still think this is the past?

If there are hundreds of thousands of monks all over the country, so what if you are not satisfied?

It is far from possible for Buddhism to continue to develop and become a true pure land as it is now."

Daozang heard the murderous intention from Qin Mo's words. He was suddenly excited and thought of the scene he saw in Tianxiang Kingdom. He quickly said: "Qin's Prince Consort wants to destroy the Buddha? If the poor monk said it wrong,

The commander-in-chief of the Qin Dynasty wants to kill the poor monk, and the poor monk is also willing to die. I just beg the commander-in-law of the Qin Dynasty not to increase the karma of killing any more!"

"Sanzang, you still don't understand."

Qin Mo shook his head, "Whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, they have reached the point where they can no longer change. What's the use of killing you.

Even if you hit your head and die in front of me now, it is of no consequence to me.

It won't have any bad impact on me.

The most I can do is to be pulled over and scolded by His Majesty.

But you have to think about the consequences.

My anger cannot be tolerated by Buddhism.

Do you want to make Buddhism better, or will I knock you into the dust? Think about it yourself!"

Daozang looked down at the teacup in front of him, feeling extremely anxious.

When Qin Mo said this, he obviously had the idea of ​​causing trouble.

However, it is not to destroy the Buddha, but... to transform into a Buddha.

How?

Trample the Buddha under your feet?

However, Qin Mo was already very considerate, and what he did outside was simply unscrupulous and overbearing.

If you don't agree with me, I'll give you a tug-of-war.

It's quite gentle in the country.

But... Qin Mo said this, could it be His Majesty's idea?

After all, this person is the number one scoundrel!

He is the best at figuring out Heaven’s heart!

The more Daozang thought about it, the more frightened he became, and cold sweat broke out behind his back!

"May I ask Qin's Prince Consort, how to change?" Daozang took a deep breath, "If the Buddha has changed, will Tao also change?"

"Everything has to change, and staying the same is not enough to establish the world!" Qin Mo said: "I hope Huichang Temple can set an example. After all, you have been in the West for seventeen years, both in terms of reputation and status.

It’s okay to say you are a Buddhist leader.”

Sure enough, Qin Mo wanted to take action against Huichang Temple.

At this moment, with the knife on his neck, he couldn't help but hide it.

Qin Mo took out a plan and said, "Have a look."

Daozang clasped his hands together, "That young monk is being presumptuous!"

Now he doesn't even dare to call himself a poor monk.

There is no way, the arm cannot twist the thigh.

Daozang took the plan and read it carefully for two quarters of an hour.

After reading it, Daozang let out a long sigh and said, "The heart of Qin's prince consort makes this young monk ashamed!"

"Why are you ashamed again?"

"At first, the young monk thought that the Prince Consort wanted to destroy the Buddha, and he was afraid and angry.

Monk Gein saw many scenes in the Celestial Kingdom.

Therefore, I preemptively thought that the Prince Consort should also be dealt with together."

Daozang looked ashamed, "After reading this plan, the young monk realizes how narrow-minded he is."

Qin Mo's plan did impose restrictions on Buddhism. For example, the land under the temple must be owned by the public.

Secondly, monks who do not have ultimatums must return to secular life, and the number of monks must be strictly controlled.

Secondly, the abbot of the temple is still a monk, but the management must be managed by the court.

Sesame oil money and money donated by pilgrims were uniformly managed by the imperial court.

Monks with ultimatums in the temple receive free food and accommodation, and are given monthly silver taels for living needs.

However, considering that some temples that are not popular are granted a hundred acres of Buddhist land.

If you exceed that, you will have to pay taxes and food.

Secondly, if you want to obtain an ultimatum, you must pass a unified assessment by the imperial court. If you fail to pass, the ultimatum will not be issued.

Those who fail three times show that they have no pious heart and have no connection with the Buddha, so they should return to secular life.

Monks with unknown origins must be thoroughly investigated and have no bad records before they can be ordained.

Secondly, you cannot lend money.

Not allowed to engage in commercial activities.

Devote yourself to Buddhism.

There are also ratings for temples and strict regulations on Buddha statues.

In short, after all this operation, what is left are true monks who have ultimatums, do not handle money, and focus on cultivating Buddhism.

Don't harbor dirt and evil.

You can transfer people, but you cannot judge people in place of the law.

Teach people the truth, goodness and beauty, but you must not make them decadent and lazy.

Why did Monk Daozang travel thousands of miles to the Western Regions to seek Mahayana Buddhism?

It was because he saw some bad things in the past that he made up his mind to use Mahayana Buddhism to save all sentient beings.

"Master Tripitaka, neither Hinayana Buddhism nor Mahayana Buddhism can save all sentient beings, because the Buddha only saves those who are destined.

Even if you can't even save yourself, how can you save others?

Those who are destined to do so regard Buddhism as a pursuit, while those who are not destined to do so should regard Buddhism as a profession.

Don’t destroy human desires if you are reciting Amitabha and getting married and having children at the same time.

Could it be that the Buddha he worshiped was the Buddha of Joy?"
