One Punch Tang Monk

Chapter 541 Discipline
What happened back then, after what Zhu Tianpeng said just now, they also knew a little bit, and it can only be regarded as the most deserved, but after all, I was one of them back then, and I was still a little worried about whether I would Also be accounted for.

After hearing Tang Sanzang's words, they all responded respectfully and breathed a sigh of relief.

Hong Ji took a deep look at the monks lying all over the ground, with a look of pity on his face, he turned and followed Tang Sanzang away.

Tang Sanzang asked Sha Wanjing to get some pens and paper, and led the monks into the side hall. After cleaning up yesterday, it was still clean. He went inside and sat cross-legged. Sha Wanjing also came in with pens and paper.

"Fangyuan cannot be achieved without rules. Today's misfortune is all because Buddhism in Chechi Kingdom has no rules. I don't know what Fangyuan is. I am greedy and can't restrain myself. Today I will talk about the rules of my Tang Buddhism. Listen carefully, my disciple will record it. It’s in the book, I hope you can recite it three times a day in the future, and keep it in your heart.” Tang Sanzang looked at the monks sitting cross-legged around him, most of them were monks in their late teens to twenties , although he is a little older than him, but when he was in Datang, he was used to those old monks with snow-white beards calling him uncle, so he didn't feel uncomfortable.

"Yes." All the monks respectfully replied, Tang Sanzang was a lifesaver to them, what will happen to the rest of their life is just a matter of his words.

And for them, they really want to be pure monks. They may have little memory when they were arrested, or just remember some things ignorantly, and then they have grown up in suffering for 15 years, and they don’t even have scriptures. I have read a few books, and now Tang Sanzang is promulgating precepts and teaching them the Dharma, which is naturally a rare opportunity for them.

Tang Sanzang saw that everyone had a correct attitude, nodded his head, thought about the precepts of Tang monks that he and a group of old monks made back then, and began to narrate them one by one.

Because of Li Simin, Datang is quite tolerant of Buddhism, but sects are sects. In Datang, their influence is only to educate the people and make the whole country more stable. They cannot extend their hands and feet to local affairs. It is impossible to reach out into the hall.

Of course, because of him, many people felt that Tang Buddhism had reached out to the palace, but as the head of the Tang monks, Tang Sanzang himself had no interest in government affairs, nor did he have any talent, so No matter what, those strange voices gradually died down.

There are many precepts. Tang Sanzang originally wanted to write down a few of them. After all, many things are human nature and nature, and normal people should not do them.

However, after seeing these monks in Che Chiguo, he suddenly understood why those old monks threatened to die to write down those cumbersome precepts. Those seemingly basic and cumbersome precepts seemed to be nothing It has a great effect, but it is these things that allow monks to develop rules from an early age, understand right from wrong, and establish correct values. This is the most important thing in all precepts.

Tang Sanzang dictated, and Sha Wanjing took notes with a pen at the side, writing down the precepts on paper.

The monks listened very carefully, nodding from time to time, not showing embarrassment, but admiration for the mysterious empire in the east.

I am afraid that only that kind of big country can raise sages like Tang Sanzang, have such high requirements and self-discipline for monks, and develop such a broad mind.

Hong Ji's originally complicated expression gradually became brighter after hearing the precepts mentioned by Tang Sanzang. These precepts are like a treasure house. He clarifies what monks should do and what they should not do. How to develop it, how to improve one's realm, how to save the world, and how to get along with common people and pilgrims.

These things are not mentioned in the Buddhism of Che Chi Kingdom at all. For the Buddhism of Che Chi Kingdom, except for the king and those ministers in the palace, the rest are just servants, who can be killed and insulted , and they don't even have the ability to resist.

It turns out that this is not a Buddha at all, but a demon. Now Tang Sanzang told them how the real Buddha restrains himself and how he cultivates himself.

He suddenly felt that he had a heavy burden on his shoulders. He must preserve these precepts, and then use him to ask the remaining monks to become real monks.

Xiuli and the three of them stood outside the hall, listening to Tang Sanzang's voice inside, they all had surprised expressions on their faces.

"Sure enough, it is a huge country. We are all a little ashamed of such upbringing and precepts. Speaking of which, those disciples have been a little arrogant when they are outside these years. If they are not restrained, maybe they will be a Buddhist again in a few years." Yang Feiyu couldn't help sighing, and there was a bit of worry in her words.

"If they dare, I will break their legs." Lu Tianyu clenched his fist and said.

"Feiyu is right. Those disciples showed great respect in front of us, but they didn't give the people a good look outside. Even some officials would have to smile when they saw them. If it wasn't for the rain we accumulated over the years These transgressive behaviors have long caused disasters." Xiu Li also had a serious expression on her face, and the precepts mentioned by Tang Sanzang were a wake-up call to them. A sect wants to last for a long time, not a flash in the pan. What matters is the rules.

"I think we can refer to their precepts, and re-establish the rules according to our original rules, and prevent disciples from participating in political affairs. After a few years, His Majesty grows up, we will no longer interfere in government affairs, otherwise Once the political situation is in turmoil in the future, it will be the end of destruction." Yang Feiyu pondered.

Xiu Li nodded thoughtfully, was silent for a while, looked at the two of them and said, "Well, and it's not a good thing after all to have a single family. Those disciples don't feel the slightest sense of nervousness, and they are even more domineering. I think maybe we can let these monks stay. , help them rebuild a temple, let Buddhism develop and multiply in Chechi country, and the two religions restrict each other, so that they can coexist better for a long time."

"It's not impossible, but didn't your majesty tell them to leave?" Lu Tianyu frowned.

"Your Majesty said this in consideration of our feelings. As long as we make a decision and they are willing to stay, then we can discuss it with His Majesty." Xiuli shook her head.

"But are they still willing to stay? After all, they have been tortured by us for so many years, and now they are more likely to be beaten or even killed by the people walking on the street. Maybe following Tang Sanzang and the others to leave the country of Chechi will make life easier for them. It should be easier." Yang Feiyu said with some doubts.
