Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 760 Transforming the East with Buddha
After the Dharma slip finished speaking, a clear voice came from the side——

"Master, the man calls himself Liu Che. If the rumors are correct, he should be the Zhao Wangsun. He is running around in the north to contact strong reinforcements and goes south to support King Zhao. He should not defect to Chen Zhi."

The man who spoke was wearing blue clothes and looked like a servant. He was following a group of monks. Because of his simple clothes, he looked like a servant. Therefore, even if Liu Che, Sun Xiu and others saw him, they would not be surprised.

But as soon as this person opened his mouth, everyone around him fell silent and allowed this person to speak.

Dharma Jane looked over and said, "Don't rush to talk about this, fix the car first, and wait until the town ahead."

The young man in green clothes nodded when he heard this, and the other monks also agreed.

The carriage was barely repaired and could not carry too many people, so the three elderly monks went in and sat down, while the rest of the people followed outside.

Fortunately, the town ahead was not far away, otherwise Sun Xiu would be embarrassed to make such a suggestion. Before dark, a group of monks finally arrived in the town.

This is still within the territory of Fanyang County. This Fanyang County is in the south of Guangning County. The head of the county is Youzhou City, which is the place where Youzhou got its name. Originally, the King of Yan was canonized, and his fiefdom was here. Later, a series of Although it does not exist, the population here has not decreased much. It is a county with a large population, so the town here is quite lively, with people coming and going constantly, and the inns and taverns in the town are of decent size.

This group of monks went directly to the largest inn in the town. As soon as they put the money away, they asked people to arrange meals first.

At this time, the Buddhist sect did not have the rules of prohibiting meat, so there was no need to order too much, and the table was soon filled, and everyone began to eat.

While eating, he brought up the previous matter again.

The Buddhist Dharma slip said to the young man in green: "Daoren, your father, son and brothers all studied Buddhism under Master Zhu Dharma Protector. They should know that this Buddhist Dharma inheritance also has cause and effect. What the person who inherits it also gets. There are differences, just like people's hearts are different. The reason why I, the monk, can win the respect of scholars and nobles is because I value the ability to cultivate the heart and shape the ambition. However, there are also many county governors and even governors who vigorously promote it in the territory. What is the reason, do you know?"

The young man known as Daoren, whose full name is Nie Daoren, his father Nie Chengyuan and elder brother Nie Daozhen are both proficient in Buddhist classics. They once assisted the eminent monk Zhu Dharma Protector in translating many Buddhist scriptures, so they have a deep understanding of Buddhist classics and teachings. , it can be said that he is familiar with it by heart. This Nie Daoren has learned a lot from several schools and has been trained as an elite since he was a child. He is not only familiar with the classics and history, but also has insights into the theory of military strategists and Guanzi's governance.

At this time, after listening to the question on the Buddhist Dharma slip, he thought for a while and said: "If the people believe in the Buddha and are sincere in doing good, they will be peaceful and settled in their actions. If the people's hearts are peaceful, everything will not be chaotic, and good will be achieved through education." , those governors and prefects can save some trouble."

"This is exactly the truth," the Buddhist Dharma slip said, and he praised it. "You have studied several families and achieved several levels of achievements. It is indeed extraordinary. You have hit the key point in one sentence. When people learn Buddhism, everything will be peaceful. If the East Earth is like Transforming into a Buddhist country, there will be peace all the time, unity from generation to generation, and great kindness in the world! But that layman Chen is a restless person. His "Buddha Treatise" evolved into six sects, causing turmoil within our Buddhist sect. Now Luoyang looks like a Buddha Xing, in fact, each family has its own reasons, and mutual disputes are beginning to appear. This is turning peace into injustice and is the source of turmoil, which is extremely unwise."

Nie Daoren followed many teachers, and Zhu Fawei was one of them.

Zhu Fawei himself was a disciple of Zhu Fahu, and Nie Daoren was the youngest son of Nie Chengyuan, so he could study Dharma with Zhu Fawei. This Buddhist Dharma Slip was taught by Fo Tucheng, who was from another lineage and was also his teacher.Nie Daoren said: "However, Governor Chen is indeed a talented person, and the general administration of Daijun is just around the corner."

"This is just an appearance," the Dharma slip still shook his head and said calmly, "This person seems to be capable, but in fact he has no great wisdom and does not know how to hide his power and bide his time. If he is willing to return to Da Sima, he will have the protection of Youzhou and the support of Chen and Yang. , soar to the sky sooner or later. If I can be a Buddhist, everyone will be at peace and every household will be well. Moreover, even the Xianbei people who submit to him will be able to achieve great liberation and great joy. But this person is stubborn and does not know the Buddha. A stalwart, with a disdainful heart, has no way of sorting out the ups and downs. At the moment, it looks like a raging fire cooking oil, and a group of prosperity is actually adding fuel to the fire. The last section of the burning firewood will become embers when the prosperity dissipates."

As he said that, when he saw the surprised expression on Nie Daoren's face across from him, he shook his head and kept silent. He just raised his hand and tapped lightly on the table three times, then got up and returned to the house.

It was night, everything was silent, but at the third watch, a figure got up and came to the door of the Dharma Slip and knocked gently.

The sound of Dharma slips came from the door——

"come in."

The door was not locked, but the man pushed it open. Candles were lit in the room, and the light illuminated the face of the person who came, it was Nie Daoren.

"If you have wisdom, you are worthy of being chosen by our Buddhist sect to live in this world." The Dharma slip sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the visitor and nodding slightly, "I want you to learn civil and military skills in order to bring glory to the sect of Buddhism."

Nie Daoren came to the bedside, saluted respectfully, and then carefully asked: "I don't know why the teacher asked me to come here at this time, but I have something to tell."

Buddha said simply: "There are some words that are not easy to say during the day. I want you to come here now just to say these words clearly so that you know your own responsibilities." His voice was faint, but it sounded good to Nie Daoren's ears. , but he couldn't help but become concerned and listened silently.

Dharma Jianjian continued: "It has been more than a hundred years since the Buddha passed down to the middle land. If you count the scattered theories before the white horse came to the east, it has been nearly 200 years. Although it is gradually improving, in the eyes of the scholars, in the eyes of the nobles It seems that, even in the eyes of the people, it is just an embellishment. The famous scholars use Buddhism as a footnote to metaphysics, while the people look at the Buddha and the gods of the land, seeking peace and tranquility. Take root, just like hundreds of families, it will never be the same again!”

Nie Daoren immediately became solemn and understood the meaning of the words. He knew very well that there were many ascetics who proposed to use Buddhist scriptures to annotate the Six Classics, but many people opposed it.

The Dharma Slip added: "It is okay for us to translate Buddhist scriptures and quote the words of hundreds of schools of thought, but the subtlety of the Buddhist scriptures has been compromised. It is like seeing flowers in the mist. How can the words of hundreds of schools of thought be compared to the words of the Buddha? , I was a few steps short of writing it down, so I reluctantly wrote it down because the people in China are not enlightened, their wisdom is low and inferior, and their minds are complex and complicated. I will first write it in understandable words, and then slowly introduce Buddhist words. , to replace the bad words of China, if according to what some people say now, it means to replace even the essentials of Buddhist scriptures with the theories of hundreds of schools of thought, putting the cart before the horse is not enough to describe it!"

When Nie Daoren heard this, his breathing became rapid, and he felt a sense of anger and urgency, so he asked, "What should we do?"

Dharma Jian smiled calmly: "If the Han Dynasty were in chaos and the country was peaceful and the people were safe, we would have nothing to do. But now that the North is becoming chaotic and the DPRK is seizing power, the opportunity has come."
