Chapter 37: Celestial Master's Evangelism
Finally got out. Thank you for the rewards from brothers Tianzhi Donghuang and Feidu. Especially the Feidu brothers worked hard to manage the comment section... I wonder if this one would be too boring to see...
"Do not kill anyone who does not want to be killed.
Do not commit adultery if you do not want others to commit adultery.
Do not steal what you do not want others to steal.
If you do not want others to be framed by false witnesses and frames, do not use false witnesses and frames others.
If you do not want others to seize property and occupy your wife and daughter, do not seek to seize property from others, or occupy your wife and daughter. If there is any violation, the national law will be punished by ghosts, gods and underworlds!”
Although Wen Fei announced one thing, everyone's eyes began to twitch. When they heard the words Wen Fei said, it sounded simpler than the various moral norms that Confucianism or Buddhism often preached. It was simply crude.
But when you listen carefully, you will think of it, it is simple and clear, and more operational. Unlike the tedious things that are almost impossible to achieve in Buddhism, it is like not hurting ants when sweeping the floor, and how many billions of insects there are in a bowl of water, it is much simpler. It is also more in line with the moral standards of the general public.
In short, it is more operational. It is closely related to Confucian principles and can also conform to the concepts of scholars and officials.
In Wen Fei's opinion, as long as you don't interfere with others and don't impose them on others, no matter what you do, it's moral.
"Be filial to your parents and be loyal to your country!" Wen Fei added two more sentences. The core of Confucianism is nothing more than the words "loyalty" and "forgiveness". What you do not want to do, Wen Fei pointed out the moral norms of forgiveness.
A few more sentences are already in the category of loyalty. Master Wen Datian continued to interpret: "Consolidate the family and govern the country and pacify the world. The great sage of humanity Confucius said is already great good. The country is composed of countless families. It is the great master of all of us. Therefore, filial piety to our parents and loyalty to our family and country is the duty of human family." He vaguely used the concept of emperor to replace the past with the past.
"But from the perspective of my heavenly way, there is also a nation. What is a nation? It is not just a blood relationship. It is China. It has the beauty of contemplation and order, and is called Hua. It has great etiquette, so it is called Xia. Hua is our nation! It is a barbarian and internal Hua!"
"Those with China are called countries. Those without China are called beasts!" Simply put, nations are not just blood gene problems, but more of a continuation of civilization.
The beauty of the ritual is called Hua. The etiquette is so great that it is called Xia. If the culture of the Middle Land is missing and morality is no longer there. Etiquette is gone, how can you dare to call yourself Hua?
Clothes must be exquisite, things must be abundant, people must be etiquette and learning, the country must benefit, and the monarch and ministers must call our country and people. This is called the true China!
What Wen Fei said now is extremely superficial, but it doesn’t matter. What he is talking about now is the program. When it comes, naturally, someone will compile various details according to this program and improve the entire doctrine.
He believed that as long as he persevered, as long as Taoism always occupies a strong position. Then Wen Fei had no doubt that this program would become the highest moral standard like the Ten Commandments in the future. Moreover, Wen Fei also introduced Confucianism to interpret it.
In Wen Fei's opinion, too many too many moral standards are bullshit. No one can meet them at all. For example, a certain organization in later generations has a high moral standards that are incomparable. However, it is not operational at all.
Even if it is forced to implement it for a certain period of time, it will face a rebound after high pressure, which will make morality even worse.
"The Supreme Master said: "There is no way to misfortune and good fortune, but only people call it to themselves; the rewards of good and evil are like shadows. What is said above is something that ordinary believers should follow.
And I, Taoist priest, should advance if the Tao is not, retreat if they are not. Do not follow evil paths, do not deceive the dark room, accumulate virtue and achieve merit, be kind to things. Loyalty, filial piety, friendship and kindness, and have become righteous. Being polite, care about the lonely, care about the widow, respect the elderly and the young. Be kind to others, be kind to others, enjoy others' goodness, help others' urgently, save others' dangers, see others' gains as you have gains, and see others' losses as you have lost.
Do not show off others' shortcomings, do not show off one's own strengths, stop evil and promote good, push more and take less, do not complain when you are humiliated, be flattered, do not seek retribution when you give kindness, and do not regret when you are with others. Be an example for the people of the world, and in this way, you can be called a true Taoist priest!
The so-called good people respect them, the heavenly way of worship, the blessings and wealth are followed, and all evil spirits are far away from them, and the gods and spirits protect them, and what they do will be accomplished, and the gods can hope for them!"
Wen Fei proposed that the moral standards of Taoist priests should be even better than ordinary believers, and they completely adopted the "Taishang Ganying Pian". Fortunately, Wen Fei, the guy, remembered this book so familiar and memorized such a big story in one breath.
"Taishang Ganying Pian" was first officially valued in the Southern Song Dynasty, and it continued to flourish after the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. It was no longer limited to empirical preaching, but established realistic ethical norms, which were conducive to regulating people's words and deeds, especially to ensure the rigorous order of the country, society, and family. "Yinyu Wen" probably has not yet been born.
It can be said that the Chinese scholars and officials in later generations never missed the two books "Taishang Ganying Pian" and "Yinying Wen" at home. Almost the entire ancient Chinese folk moral system was built on it...
The good deeds that are advocated and evil deeds that are advocated to be eliminated, such as patriotism, loving the people, respecting the elders and loving the young, and being kind to the things, are almost all the traditional virtues of China.
Wen Fei only adopted part of the Taishang Reaction Chapter, and I can't remember the others very clearly. Moreover, as a modern person, some of Wen Fei's ideas do not conform to his own ideas, such as sweeping the floor and pitying ants, must be removed...
It can be said that Wen Fei's preaching has established a relatively complete moral system for Taoism. He must be ambitiously promoted to the entire society!
Some of the Taoist priests below were cheerful and disapproved. Wen Fei sneered in his heart, and the authority of the lord was just the word reward and punishment. The authority of the gods was also average.
Since Wen Fei claimed that he was spreading the Dharma on behalf of heaven, he could not tolerate anyone to be lip service. If someone dared to disobey these principles again, then no wonder Master Wen killed the chicken and showed it to the monkey!
"Come on, copy the precepts I mentioned today and carve them into an inscription. If there is any violation, there will naturally be national laws and teachings in the Yang world, and the underworld will also have underworlds and ghosts and gods. The Ghost Emperor will be responsible for this responsibility, and record it on the case according to the severity of the person's crime. After the end of his life, rewards and punishments will be given!"
Wen Fei unceremoniously added another authority to the Ghost Emperor. He can now almost represent the will of the entire Taoist sect. In terms of this ideology, it can also represent the will of the entire Song Dynasty.
Therefore, as soon as Wen Fei finished speaking, the Dharma follows, the boundless force of the entire Haotian Yuanqi Sea vibrates, and countless powers of energy gather into the dark world...
Rumbled, the wind and clouds in the sky suddenly changed. The wind and clouds surged, and sand and stones flew away for a moment. It was almost impossible to open your eyes.
And in the dark world, there was also a loud rumbling sound, and the dark world boiled again. For a moment, lightning and thunder, wind, frost, snow and rain, and various changes in the heavenly phases evolved one by one in the dark world.
There are countless wonderful sounds that seem to exist and not exist between heaven and earth, and the yin world of the sun. Only few people with high cultivation can hear the sounds.
But in the dark world, it is different. Beautiful petals grow out of thin air and fall down. These petals are completely different from the petals made of incense and will.
These petals, if carefully, seem to be composed of countless patterns and characters, constantly flowing and changing, and look mysterious and unreasonable. There is also a sound of music like nature, which seems to be praising and singing.
All the changes were concentrated in the Great Ghost Emperor. Countless ghost messengers and gods heard this and fell to the ground inexplicably.
The petals flew in the air and fell on them. But they seemed to be just illusory, directly passing through their bodies and then falling down.
However, at this moment, a crystal clear and slender hand was even more beautiful than the most beautiful girl's slender hand. It was like a jade carving in the air, catching a petal.
The petals did not fall in his hands. However, they were a long and jade-like Taoist priest with a three-collar beard and a face like a jade crown. He was in the dark world and did not show any strange phenomena.
If there is no vision in the whole body, it is the biggest vision. This man's face is like a living, and in this dark dark world like a scroll of ink paintings, his whole body is clearly colored, and he is no different from the sun.
In this situation, it is like a watercolor figure suddenly appeared in the ink painting. Everyone is extremely abrupt...
"Interesting, interesting. Someone actually met this innate way and obtained a new priesthood. It aroused the resonance of Haotian's vitality... I'm afraid that the innate god will be produced again!" The Taoist priest laughed and his figure disappeared, as if he had never appeared before.
Wen Fei suddenly felt the soul beating and restless, as if he was about to leave his body with joy. He was thrown into all kinds of strange phenomena in this world, merged with the Ghost Emperor and the God in the Yinsi, transformed into a complete Ghost Emperor and entered the path of the innate great god.
This power is extremely strong and also an extremely beautiful temptation. If Wen Fei really comes to this point at this time, he will immediately receive the response of the Haotian Force. Obtain this newly born priest, and after entering the hearts of everyone, the divine nature will automatically condense, and ascend to heaven in one step, becoming the existence of the innate god.
Then this book will face two problems. One is the turning point of God. Master Wen will become an innate god, and no longer the original physical body. Many worldly things must be abandoned and new things will be faced. The other is that the book will be completed here... It is called unfinished...
Fortunately, at this time, another force crossed over and suppressed Wen Fei, making Wen Fei's uneasy soul calm down.
"Breaking merit!" Many Taoist priests with profound magical powers saw a mysterious and yellow aura, which was placing on Wen Fei like a rainbow.
"Master, don't. Your merits and deeds in the world have not been completed and your career has not been completed. You must not take the last step at this time!" At this critical moment, Jae Jingzhi stood up and shouted. (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
