The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

As soon as Yan Shenggong's signboard is displayed, the effect, needless to say!Definitely one size fits all.

This kind of big scene, Kong Dao, a junior, naturally can't make the decision, and the abbot of Chen Fo Temple, Master Yuanxin, who is also of Yuan Dynasty, has to come forward.

Lin Hai smiled, neither stepped forward nor retreated, but Yushu stood there facing the wind, and asked with a half-smile: "Master Yuanxin, I would like to ask a question. Why do we sit at the top and sit on the stage so honorably?" Is it because my father-in-law is Yan Shenggong, or is it because I have an official position? Didn’t Buddhism say that all living beings are equal? ​​Since all living beings are equal, why is the master as the presiding officer, as a generation of eminent monks, in this place where thousands of believers In front of you, specialization?"

Faced with Lin Hai's questioning and Yan Shenggong's silence, Master Yuanxin finally realized that Lin Hai was here to destroy the situation, and he was so angry that he almost cursed the street. After thinking about it, he really didn't know where he had offended the great god in front of him. To the question, but also had to answer.If you don't answer, wouldn't it be true, the reputation of disliking the poor and loving the rich.

So Yuanxin quickly thought about it in his heart, and said: "The benefactor has misunderstood. The equality of all living beings you know is not the equality of all living beings in the Buddhist school. In the past, the brahmins born in the old days were influenced by Buddhism, and turned However, he took refuge under the seat of the Buddha and became a disciple of the Buddha, so he was condemned by the Brahman. The Buddha said that 'all beings are equal'.

Regardless of the class of people, there are people who do good deeds and evil deeds. People of any class, as long as they can be cautious in their words and deeds, clean up their body, speech, and mind, abandon all obsessions, and strive to develop their own wisdom to benefit themselves and others. , such a person is qualified to be called the supreme person.Some do more good, and some do less.Some people do more evil, some people do less evil.There is no reason to require that no matter whether you do evil or do good, you will be treated the same after reincarnation.Therefore, the equality of all beings means that everyone is equal in the face of the causal cycle. "

Lin Hai raised the corner of his mouth. Master Yuanxin is really eloquent, but Lin Hai's head is not inferior to him: "I don't agree with Master Yuanxin's words. Since the equality of all beings refers to the equality of legal nature of all beings, then even more There should be no such specialization.

Everyone present and every common people are devout believers of Buddhism.They worship the Buddha and pay homage to the Buddha with their hard-earned hard-earned money.They worship Buddha and repay Buddha with a heart of admiration.They have a heart for the Buddha, so they come here to listen to the eminent monks discussing the Buddha.

This heart.According to the Buddhist theory that all living beings are equal, there should be no amount of sincerity, but why they can only stand under the stage and listen to the sun.But you, the disciples of the Buddhist family, sit on the high platform majestically and feel contented.Is this what you call equality?Is it because you are monks that everything can be specialized?

Also, I don't believe in Buddhism, I don't worship Buddha, and I have never donated a cent of sesame oil money to Buddhism. I think I can't compare with every common people under this stage, but Master Yuanxin rashly let me, who has no respect for Buddha, .Sitting at the top is the legal equality of all living beings?

Then I have to ask Master Yuanxin why the Master of Kongdao refused to let me go up when I wanted to go up just now.And waiting for someone to recognize my father-in-law as Empress Yan Shenggong.You, the presiding master of Chenfo Temple, came to respectfully invite us to go up. Is this also what the master said about the equality of all living beings? "Lin Hai's eloquent ability is also revealed at this moment. Using himself as an excuse, it means that a person who has no Buddha heart and no respect for Buddha can be ranked above many devout believers. This is an attack on the equality of all beings. .

After Lin Hai finished speaking, he casually glanced at the place where Emperor Xuande was, and he saw the smile on the corner of Emperor Xuande's mouth.With confidence in his mind, even if Master Yuanxin could escape eloquently today, Lin Hai's deeds have already been reflected in Emperor Xuande's eyes.As an emperor, what he likes to see the most is a courtier who can understand his eyes!

As for the argument that they don't believe in Buddhism, this is also true. The Lin family is a family of scholars for generations. They grew up in the Four Books and Five Classics since they were young. They believe in Confucianism, and they don't believe in Buddhism very much.And because there are national teachers working as Taoist priests in Huguo Temple, many officials want to do what they like, and there are many disciples from aristocratic families who don't believe in Buddhism these days!

Lin Hai saw that Master Yuanxin couldn't answer for a while, and he didn't give him a chance to think, and immediately asked in a bastardistic manner: "The theory of cause and effect that Master Yuanxin said, and there must be results after cause, please ask, Master Yuanxin , How do you judge cause and effect in this world, what is a pious believer, is it judged by generosity?"

Seeing the other monks' throats move, Lin Hai didn't let others open his mouth immediately: "Then I will ask Master Yuanxin, why do these people have the right to sit on this platform? I don't deny that the amount of sesame oil he donated is far higher than that of other monks." Above, but his family is very rich, the sesame oil money donated is just a drop in the bucket on him, not worth mentioning at all.

But the sesame oil money donated by thousands of people is earned by a drop of blood and sweat. Although it is not much, the value theory is far more meaningful than these people.It's the same when it comes to piety, why is he sitting high while the people are standing low?What do you say Dashan? "

At this time, the audience was silent, and their hearts were getting heavier and heavier towards Lin Hai.This is also Lin Hai's brilliance. His foothold is always considered like the common people, so he can naturally win the approval of the common people.Especially when Lin Hai recognized the money they earned with hard work, he felt like meeting a confidant.

What Lin Hai wanted was this effect. Although he didn't know what Emperor Xuande was doing to attack Buddhism, Lin Hai knew that Emperor Xuande didn't want to cause riots among the people because of the attack on Buddhism. So many monarchs in history were helpless against Buddhism, to a large extent. People with this huge amulet are afraid of causing riots, so Buddhism should not be touched.

Only when the common people feel that they are being deceived and fooled, can they not oppose the series of measures introduced by the imperial court on Buddhism.What Lin Hai has to do now is to reveal the true colors of these fake monks.

Thinking of this, Lin Hai said in a loud voice: "I heard that a great master came to Chenfo Temple. My wife recently gave birth to a son, and she said that I would come to fulfill my wish to send my son Guanyin. Therefore, even though I don't believe in Buddhism, I came here specially for my wife and children. Let's pray and pray for the family.

I went to buy incense just now, but I was shocked by the price of incense. According to my understanding, the incense outside is very cheap. A bunch of twenty sticks costs two copper coins. In Chenfo Temple, a stick of three sticks costs two coins. Copper coins differ by as much as six or seven times.

A small pure copper Buddha statue, same workmanship.They sell for one tael of silver outside, but they sell for five taels of silver in the temple, the price difference is five times, that is, four taels of silver.Although the price difference is that I am a descendant of an aristocratic family, I know that the money will be used for half a month for the common people.This is still a small item, as for the price of a large item, the price is even more outrageous and frightening..."

After speaking, Lin Hai looked at Master Yuanxin with a half-smile, "I am very puzzled why the gap is so big, so I asked a lot. It turns out that these things were consecrated by Master Yuanxin with great hard work.

But the next thing is even more strange, the monk built the temple to save all living beings, or to consecrate people to make money.I don't believe in Buddhism, but I have heard of the basic precepts of Buddhism.The five precepts are: ([-]) not killing, ([-]) not stealing, ([-]) not committing sexual misconduct, ([-]) not lying, and ([-]) not drinking alcohol.These five precepts are the basic precepts of the four groups of Buddhist disciples, and they should be observed no matter they are monks or at home.Ten Virtues: No killing, no stealing, no sexual misconduct, no lying, no double tongue, no harsh words, no flattery, no greed, no anger, and no deviation from the Dharma.

Since the temple was built for Buddhist believers to worship Buddha, why is it sold at such a high price? Isn't this indirectly preventing some poor people from believing in Buddhism, because they may burn incense No money.And at that time, I thought it was very strange that the main economic source of the temple was sesame oil money, so why such a method was necessary to make huge profits.

I am not a Buddha, so I am self righteous and think that the so-called monks are not empty of the four elements?Since the four elements are empty, it should look like the four elements are empty, not this, not that, a group of monks and monks, what do you want so much money for?Aren't you afraid of attracting robbers?

I couldn't figure it out, but when I saw Master Yuanxin, I immediately understood!Look at the monk robe worn by Master Yuanxin, the buttons of rubies, and the border of gold thread, and look at the tea on the table above. If you smell it right, it is the top-quality Longjing that is worth as much as gold!Moreover, it is the most expensive Yuqian Longjing tea, which is not willing to be bought and drunk by the children of such aristocratic families. "

What Lin Hai said was true. Although the Lin family had to give him monthly money every month, that monthly money was not enough even to reward the servants around him. For a luxury like Yuqian Longjing, whether it is Master Lin or Jiang’s He wouldn't buy it for him. If he wanted it, he could only buy it with his own money. To do this, Lin Hai really felt a little heartbroken. It was all white money, no, it was golden gold.

The price difference that Lin Hai mentioned was actually clear to everyone present, but this is the capital city.People in the capital are generally richer than people in other places. This is useless to question. Everyone has more or less money in their hands.At some point, people don't care much about spending more money.Because they bought it for peace of mind, they didn't care too much about the more expensive incense candles in the temple than outside.

However, Lin Hai's words pierced into their bodies like needles.

Most of the people are innocent, they simply think that their sesame oil money is used to honor the Buddha, and use the sesame oil money to buy peace and peace of mind for themselves and their families.They never imagined that the monks in the temple would use their sesame oil money to guide and guide music.

Wearing gold-rimmed clothes with ruby ​​buttons, drinking the best Longjing tea that even Yan Shenggong's son-in-law and aristocratic children can't afford...

People are simple, but they are definitely not stupid.

They all knew what Lin Hai's words meant.

Their eyes were red, and the feeling of being fooled and deceived filled their chests.
