Mohist Tang

“Second, since ancient times, we pay attention to not revealing our wealth. But Buddhists prefer to use copper to make Buddhas. They spend a lot of money, and they dont hesitate to spend a lot of money to gilt the Buddha. Youngster thinks. , I am afraid that the exposing money is also a big reason. Mo Dun said loudly.

Yan Shigu nodded on the side agreed with the Tao. According to historical records, almost all Buddha statues were destroyed when the Buddha was destroyed twice, the golden body was scraped off, and the bronze statues were melted and cast into a string Copper coins enrich State Treasury.

However, Xiao Yu furiously said: “Plating a Buddha with a gold body is to accumulate blessings for the believers, so that wealth will be rewarded. Moreover, the Buddha is extremely noble. Only a golden body can show the dignity of the Buddha.”

Mo Dun said with a sneer: “Buddha is a Daoist Immortal thing, and I especially care about these mortal yellow and white things. From the youngster’s point of view, gilding a Buddha statue is just a method of the Buddha school. Let the atmosphere be added to the temple, so that the viewers heart will be respectful and pure, and whether the ruling or the oppositions gilded term may be derogatory and redundant, some Aristocratic Family children take over Family Property, find some leisure work, and obtain some false names Gilding, even if you are going to join the army, there are probably many people who come to gilding secretly and go for a short walk to make some military exploits that’s all.”

Mo Dun’s intentions of Buddhist gilding were taken away in a few words. The bottom is upside down, let Xiao Yu choke for a long time speechless.

“Plated golden flower is not telling the truth, and it is easy to be coveted. In times of trouble, how much can those gilded Buddha statues be preserved, when the plated golden body is scraped off At that time, I am afraid that is the great disrespect to the Buddha.” Mo Dun said boldly.

“This impossible, the Buddhist impossible give up gilding the Buddha.” Xiao Yu categorically said that gilding the Buddha is a weapon for the development and growth of the Buddha. How can it be easily given up.

Mo Dun frowns saying: “If this is the case, it is not impossible to solve. When Mohist Family developed the sunglasses, they developed a new type of gilding method, but the effect is very good, not only the amount of gold It is less, and the surface is smooth. Its effect is ten times better than the gilding in the market. I am willing to donate it to help the Buddhists.”

“The method of gilding?” The ministers couldn’t help but stop, from Mohist Family. The craftsmanship has been recognized by the world, and everyone naturally will not doubt Mo Dun’s words. At this moment, everyone believes that Mo Dun is truly helping the Buddhists.

This time, even Li Shimin couldn’t help but glance at Mo Dun more. I have to say that Mo Dun still has an attitude to solve problems.

“Third, I believe that if Buddhists really want to save themselves, they must control the number of Buddhist temples, monks and nuns, and the tax-free land under their name.” Mo Dun solemnly said.

“Control the number of Buddhist temples and monks and nuns! This is even more impossible.” Xiao Yu shook his head flatly. If the Buddhist school really controls the number of Buddhist temples and monks and nuns, wouldn’t it be self-destructive. If you think Hundred Schools of Thought They are all forging ahead. If the Buddhism is complacent, I am afraid it will soon fall behind.

“Chen Qi played Mohist Family Son with bad intentions and maliciously suppressed the Buddhist school.” Yu Zhining followed the play.

“Mohist Family Son, where are you to save the Buddha, you are even worse than destroying the Buddha!” Many ministers shouted.

Although Buddhism suffered heavy losses due to the destruction of Buddhism by the two martial arts, Buddhism quickly recovered its vitality. If you save Buddhism according to the methods of Mohist Family Son, I am afraid that Buddhism will never have a chance to develop and grow.

All of a sudden, the officials were indignant, and they attacked Mo Dun in unison.

Mo Dun said with a sneer: “You think that these 80,000 monks and nuns are all proficient in the Dharma. How many monks and nuns cant copy Buddhist scriptures and dont understand Sanskrit. If you cant do both Now, lets talk about what is the most loyal Buddhist believer. If in Buddhism, everyone will do these two things and will never mention saving the Buddha.

Xiao Yu shook his head and said: “The Buddhist school pays attention to All living things are equal, everyone can become a believer of the Buddha. Copying Buddhist scriptures and Sanskrit is just a foreign object that’s all. As long as the heart is sincere, the Buddha will always stay in his heart. “

Mohist Residence retorted: “youngster believes that proficiency in reciting Buddhist scriptures in Sanskrit is the most basic foundation for monks and nuns. If they fail to reach the Buddha, they can learn by themselves behind closed doors. After that, it is not too late to become a monk. Rather than reciting the Buddha’s name orally, the six hairs will be cleaned as soon as the hair is shaved. It is the uncontrolled expansion of the Buddhist school that is the cause of the two disasters of Buddhism. The Hundred Schools of Thought want to develop, which one is not based on the merits, the School of Legalism must be proficient in the law, Confucianism must be full of poems and books, and the Mohist Family must be proficient in crafts…”

This is not even denied in the entire Imperial Court. Compared to the fact that Hundred Schools of Thought is very carefully trained or selected very carefully, the development of Buddhism is indeed too extensive and uncontrolled.

“Although I do not oppose Buddhism’s non-production, at least it must not become a social burden and occupy too much social wealth. “Moh Dun said.

“Imperial Court is cumbersome, Marquis of Mo is too arrogant, is it because your Mohist Family has contributed to society! “Xiao Yu was born in the Southern Dynasties, and Buddhism has a profound influence on it. Hearing this furiously said.

In his opinion, Mohist Family dared to be so unscrupulous not just relying on him to pay more taxes. Mo Dun shook his head and said: “For me, the Great Tang period of prosperity, more than 80,000 monks and nuns are indeed irrelevant. If it is 800,000 monks and nuns, what about 8 million? When the time comes, how much food will my Great Tang consume every year to support and how much money will be needed to build the temple. If the money is used for the national major event, I think it will be enough to benefit the world. “

Many courtiers were subconsciously nodded, and today there are still many people who cant get enough to eat. If suddenly there are too many monks and nuns that do not produce and cannot collect taxes, I am afraid the entire Imperial Court will be stretched.

For a while, the officials in the entire Imperial Court argued vigorously. Some supported Mo Dun, and some accused Mohist Family Son of ill-intentioned suppressing Buddhists.

Fu Yi on the side Upon seeing this, he couldn’t help but sigh. He repeatedly played the role of exterminating the Buddha, and there were few responders. In his opinion, Mohist Family Son’s curve to save the Buddha is just a change of name that’s all, and there are so many courtiers support.

However, he misunderstood Mo Dun. Mo Dun saved the Buddha heartily. After all, it has been circulated in later generations of Buddhism. Naturally, there is an impossible extinction. However, the Buddhism at this time has many drawbacks. But they are all the rules established by some later generations of Buddhism. Not that later Buddhism also developed extremely prosperous, but now how can Buddhism be willing to give up the low-handed benefits in front of them and choose a more difficult path.

Li Shimin saw the imperial court’s constant arguing, and couldn’t help being caught in entanglement. Although he was inclined to Mo Dun’s statement, he also knew how difficult it is for the Buddhist school to accept this path, even more how the Buddhist school is far away. Its far from causing harm to the world.

Just as the entire Imperial Courts debate on Buddhism was intensifying, a guard hurried to report: “Reporting to Your Majesty, Shaolin Abbot Grandmaster Huiyuan entered alone Ch_ng’n, see Your Majesty. “

“Grandmaster Huiyuan! “

Suddenly the Entire Court was silent. Everyone knows the purpose of Grandmaster Huiyuan’s coming this time.

Fu Yi hearing this suddenly darkened, thinking of Shaolin’s kindness to Li Shimin I couldnt help sighing in my heart. This time, the Mohist Family Sons hard-to-gather general situation may have fallen short.

Li Shimins eyes flashed, and he took the opportunity to say with a big smile: “There are friends from afar, no In other words, we have been apart from Grandmaster Huiyuan for more than ten years. “

Now Li Shimin waved a big hand, ignoring the fiercely arguing group of Small Officials and went away.
