Fei Qian had only a little understanding of Buddhism.
But the problem is that Fei Qian's little understanding is extremely shocking to people of this era.
Because most people are now blocked, the information is extremely inconvenient, and there is not much additional information source. Those who know a little about everything like Fei Qian will naturally become incredible existences.
Speaking of which, Fei Qian would understand some Buddhist knowledge, thanks to the comics of Dongwu in later generations. Originally, the tadpoles in China were also a phenomenon-level animation, but it was a pity...
If you don’t occupy the position, you will not blame others for taking it.
Just like the Western Regions.
Fei Qian smiled, "You can't tell what the Buddha is like yourself. You have been spreading south and north for many years and still argued about the meaning of the Buddha's words and scriptures... How can you make the decision for the people in the Western Regions? First teach the false and the wrong ones, and then change it? What's wrong if this is harmful to others?"
Bu Sen still didn't answer.
The muscles on the face were pounding and trembling.
Because he couldn't answer.
The questions raised by Fei Qian were held in Buddhism for several periods of debates and meetings, but still failed to reach a consensus. These issues and disputes have always existed and even become more and more intense in Buddhism. Even if the Mahayana sects attempt to integrate, there are still many Hinayana sects, or Tantrics, that reject and deny the teachings of the Mahayana sects.
The development of anything is not smooth, even the Buddha, who is the only one.
Buddhism claims to the outside world that Buddhism subjugated Ashoka, but the actual situation is just the opposite. Ashoka needs Buddhism to reconcile the inconsistency of various regions. Therefore, among the decrees issued by Ashoka, although many of them are the same as the teachings of Buddhism, such as equality and friendship, prohibition of murder, etc., they have always had a relatively ambiguous attitude towards the Buddhist Buddha, and neither completely opposed nor completely followed.
To put it bluntly, the royal power is still greater than the divine power.
This will naturally lead to discomfort among Buddhists...
Just like Bu Sen now.
On the surface, he is respectful, but in fact he is secretly doing things.
The Mauryan Dynasty conquered by King Ashoka was not long-lived. It was turned over by the Sunga Dynasty less than fifty years after his death. What role did Buddhism play in this? There are few historical records and are unknown, but the subsequent successor reversed his original friendly attitude towards Buddhism and began to expel Buddhists.
Buddhism then had to move south and north from Central India, which is called Southern Transmission and Northern Transmission. The Southern Transmission is The Theravada, Northern Transmission, and has become the Mass. This is also a general division, and the specific Buddhist divisions are more complicated than the Tianlong Ba Division. Fei Qian only understood it a little and felt dizzy, but based on these superficial understandings, it is enough for the moment.
The more you understand history, the more you see human nature.
Greedy people are still greedy, kind people are still kind, the gangsters are from Dongguangang to Donglin, and the gangsters are from founding the country to the destruction of the country...
In addition to changes in time and space, human nature has shown consistency to some extent.
Fei Qian looked at Bu Sen, observing his subtle expression, his words pierced his heart like a knife.
Shrimps are still the best match for pig hearts.
"Master, you are still alone after all... If you want to become an Arhat, you must have merits... So you feel that you are speaking for the people of the Western Regions and speaking up to gain merits..." Fei Qian said slowly, "It's a pity that you are wrong. The wrong direction. Practice can only bring you wisdom, but not let you transcend... Master, you shouldn't have been involved in this flesh and blood hell, but you are here... Are you really for the people of the Western Regions? No, you are still for you, for your own practice, for your own selfish desires, not for the Buddha..."
"No!" Bu Sen gritted his teeth, "I'm not for myself! I would rather give up my life for the sake of the people of the Western Regions!"
"Dare you dare to give up your life to be profitable for yourself?" Fei Qian laughed and reached out and drew a circle around him. "My subordinates around him can give up their lives on the battlefield, but at the same time they are also fighting for themselves, fighting for the Han people, fighting for their future, fighting for the Han people... This is actually not a conflict, and there is nothing to be ashamed of... just admit it...
"No, no!" Bu Sen shook his head, "No...not that..."
Bu Sen cannot admit his desires.
Because Arhats must be free from troubles and eliminate desires.
But the problem is that Buddhism itself has contradictions and conflicts in its definition of Arhat.
The division of Buddhism and the division of Confucianism in the meaning of scriptures are actually similar, but it is a pity that Buddhism does not have as close to Confucianism and royal power, so after it was spread to the south and north, it declined due to its own reasons.
In fact, there were also The Theravada believers in the Northern Dynasties. Because North India is a necessary route for foreign invasion, the introduction of new ideas and the introduction of foreign countries, the more inclusive and diverse Mahayana thoughts gradually emerged. The Southern Dynasties also had the mass believers. The reason for going south was that the Hondaro and Gupta dynasties were more inclined to Brahmanism and did not openly persecute Buddhists, and there was a tendency to persecute them. Therefore, the Southern Dynasties fled to Southeast Asia...
This is a process of Buddhism spreading outward in general.
In fact, it is very similar to the process of the outward spread of Confucianism in China, and it is a "passive" spread.
Most of the time in China, whether it is the prosperity of the dynasty or the decline of the dynasty, it is a positive attitude towards whether to spread Chinese civilization and educate the people. However, most of them stay on the verbs and do not really do much. There is no plan, no tracking process, and no test results.
After the Three Kingdoms, during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Buddhism suddenly became popular. On the one hand, it was the worry of the country's demise, which caused many people to fall into pain and escape by scattering the five stones. On the other hand, the subsequent wars made people who lived a very painful life even more hope for peace after death. During this period, a large number of Buddhist cultural relics were faked. The purpose of the fraud was that Buddhists tried to prove that King Ashoka had already visited China before the Western Zhou Dynasty, or spread it to China, and built a relic pagoda. This fraud originated from the Confucian and Taoist families who spoke about the matter with their native ancestors, and forced Buddhist believers to go forward to find compensation, which was considered a fraud caused by the psychological protection of the church.
It is understandable, but it cannot be supported.
Just like Fei Qian can understand Bu Sen at the moment, but it is impossible to support Bu Sen.
Isn’t this kind of fraud caused by the purpose of apology considered fraud?
As Buddhism becomes more and more fraud, Taoism also makes fraud...
Confucianism stared at it with wide eyes, and then thought about it secretly, because Confucius's era characteristics were too obvious, and it was really difficult to move forward. So he took a different approach and began to create saints, which were no longer than the age, but more than saints.
Buddha is no longer human.
As soon as I was born, there was light in the sky and under the earth, and I was the only one who was the only one who roared...
That's a nuclear warhead.
I'm no longer human.
It simply transforms into three clear air and travels through the atmosphere. It transforms into thousands of people, and no one can tell it clearly.
Confucius is even more human.
There can be a pit on your head... Are you serious about Confucian disciples? Is it implying that your head is not pitted by Confucianism?
No one is human, so why do you need someone to practice?
It’s like letting ants do things that can be done by human beings?
That is definitely impossible. If you really do it, it will be a demon.
So many practitioners know that if you want to attain enlightenment, don’t be a human being.
The wave of lying better than fake and saints is coming with a surging wave of surging more than fake and lying better than saints.
So as a time traveler, isn’t it to promote these more interesting things? Could it be that just like the Shandong lieutenants said, it’s all done to fight Cao Cao and unify China?
Fei Qian knew that Buddhism was introduced into China, which was two ways.
Because the southern line has not expanded at present, it traveled very slowly, so the northern line is the focus. Until the Tang Dynasty, most of the Buddhism was introduced, and it still came from the Western Regions. Many of the Western Regions were reprinted or translated versions during the study of the scriptures.
To capture the Western Regions is not only to conquer the castles on the land, but also to destroy the castles in the hearts of the people in the Western Regions.
According to the words of the president who only knows how to fall in love in some magical dramas, he not only needs the body of the Western Regions, but also the soul of the Western Regions.
President Fei, well, Fei Qian looked at Bu Sen's gradually distorted face, the unconcealable pain, and smiled.
During the process of Buddhist circulation, similar to the Confucian scriptures, it has a fundamental basis. The fundamental of Buddhism is the Theravada and the Mahayana. There is a sect first, and then there is a sect. This is probably the process.
Bu Sen, the most likely possibility is that a genre under the Beichuan Mass Division...
However, Fei Qian didn't want to carefully check Bu Sen's feet, but he just wanted to use Bu Sen to achieve another goal in the Western Regions.
Bu Sen half lowered his head and lowered his eyelids. Under his eyelids, his eyes were constantly shaking.
In addition to being shocked, Bu Sen felt even more fear.
This kind of fear is like a girl being stripped naked and thrown into the downtown area, or a boy standing in the gay bathhouse holding a piece of soap...
To be honest, Bu Sen has been spreading Buddhism in the Western Regions for so many years, and he must have had some doubts in the process, but no one can explain it to him. He can only find the answer by himself, and those who cannot find the answer can only be hidden in his heart. Now that these doubts have been raised by Fei Qian, the contradictions that are not limited to the meaning of Buddhist scriptures mentioned by Fei Qian are rolling in his heart.
However, due to his loyalty and faith in Buddhism, Bu Sen could not speak bad things about Buddhism, nor could he express his approval of Fei Qian's words, and he wanted to refute but could not find any powerful evidence.
Bu Sen knew that for ordinary people, he would try to deceive the past with fake great voids, but for people like Fei Qian, if they cannot explain it with practical things, it will definitely be impossible to convince Fei Qian.
Say Fei potentially commits a murderous crime in the Western Regions?
Fei Qian would not care, and Ashoka is the biggest bug in the foundation of the Buddhist scriptures. How many people did Fei Qian kill? How many Ashoka kills? Ashoka put down his butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately. No matter how bad it is, some Buddhists call it Black and White Ashoka, cutting time and space for Ashoka...
Oh, I killed someone yesterday. I admit that I was guilty yesterday, but I didn’t kill someone today, so I am not guilty today? So I can’t arrest me, can I still enjoy peace and joy?
Can this be done?
Idealistic religions always have loopholes.
Fei Qian looked at Bu Sen, but he also knew that Bu Sen would not admit these problems.
"We Han people have a great thinker, just like the Buddha you believe in. His name is Kong Zhongni, and you may have heard his name..." Fei Qian said with a smile, "At that time, Kong Zhongni also summoned his disciples to impart knowledge, explore the world, and pursue the first and final secrets of life... He is great, and his disciples are great..."
Bu Sen slowly raised his head and looked at Fei Qian.
『But unfortunately, Confucius was a human, not a Buddha...』 Fei Qian smiled, 『So he couldn't remember all the things he said... When a person gets old, he will inevitably say some inverted words, inconsistencies... Then his disciples were afraid that someone would find out this, and after his death, he summoned almost all his disciples and compiled a scripture... called the Analects of Confucius... All disciples who did not agree with this Analects of Confucius were killed... At that time, it was the Warring States Period of the Han people... that was, there were battlefields everywhere, what could it be considered to be a death of a few people? Right? From then on, Confucius was not a human, but a saint... The monk, would you think that you were also familiar with this matter?"
Bu Sen's face changed again. He first moved his eyes aside, then lowered his eyes and pronounced the Buddhist chant.
Can this be admitted?
It's also impossible to admit it!
Can some things be regarded as non-existent if they don’t admit their confession?
"Does the monk know that I, Han people, had a great emperor before, and he also killed many people..." Fei Qian said with a smile, "When he was alive, no one dared to say anything, but after his death... some people said that he could establish a country because he received the blessing of Confucian classics, and his defeat was because he killed Confucian children... Does the monk think this story is very familiar?"
Bu Sen suddenly raised his head, stared at Fei Qian tightly, and then quickly closed his eyes and praised the Buddha's name repeatedly.
Neither angry nor angry.
After so many years of practice, it cannot be ruined!
But Bu Sen's rapid breathing and messy heart rhythm made it difficult for him to maintain a stable aura on the surface.
How does Buddhism arrange Ashoka, and how does Confucianism arrange Qin Shihuang?
Although he faces different people in different regions and at different times, he is surprisingly similar. In the Buddhist narrative of "The Legend of Ashoka", Ashoka is a model of cause and effect. Buddhists say that in his previous life, Ashoka vowed to the Buddha to give charity with his country, so Ashoka became king and unified ancient India. After becoming king, he naturally converted to Buddhism. After his death, his successor destroyed the Buddha, so he perished.
Is the truth very smooth?
On the one hand, Buddhists are strengthening cause and effect, and downplaying Ashoka's own actions, and turning it into a king into a blessing of Buddhism. On the other hand, through the story of the destruction of the dynasty, they warn or threaten other rulers of the consequences of destroying Buddha, so that rulers must be careful and honest and listen to the Buddha's words.
Fei Qian's potential Western Regions not only compete for the royal power of various countries, but also for the positions of the theocratic power in the Western Regions.
Because words like Ashoka have begun to spread in Kucha and the more remote Shule...
However, the protagonist before changed from Ashoka to Lu Bu, and now he has become Fei Qian.
Therefore, in the stories of various religions, there is always such a template that can be replaced by any king. The key point is to believe in religion, and then gain the country because of faith, elevate the status of religion, so as to highlight the sacredness of the power of religion that is greater than the power of kings.
Qin Shihuang's burying scholars was like the pink in Xiao Liuzi's belly.
Whether Fei Qian has massacred the city at the moment is like that bowl of powder...
And Tong Groga is undoubtedly the owner of the jelly shop.
"So great monk, you..." Fei Qian glanced at the direction of the Shanshan Palace, "What are you angry just now? Are you angry because of Tonggeroga surrender? Are you angry because of Tonggeroga's cowardice? Is it because Tonggeroga is not dead, so you can't prove that I am evil? Can't explain to the people of the Western Regions that the Han people are evil? Can't make the people of the Western Regions believe that the Han people will only cause killing?"
Bu Sen could no longer remain calm. He rolled up his eyelids and stared at Fei Qian. His original kind eyebrows turned into a pair of triangular eyes, and his lips were tilted down and closed tightly together. He didn't know when the tucked hands became thorned in one place, and the veins were exposed.
Fei Qian chuckled, "Do you know why I keep you by my side? Because there are many people here, not only Han people, but also Shanshan people, Ruoqiang people, Semi people... They all saw you alive! Live well! Haha, do you understand? Master, if you live, your Buddha will die... But you can't commit suicide. If you commit suicide, your practice will be gone in this life. Without a great monk who practices, can you still become an Arhat in the Western Regions... Chanta has the Buddha as a proof, so he is an Arhat, and who is you? Who proves it for you?"
"So if you want to be killed by me, you would rather be killed by me..." Fei Qian smiled, "Just like you also hope that Tong Geroga was killed by the Han people... As long as you are killed by me, or by the Han people, these sins and karma will all be mine, all of them are Han people, and you will become Buddhas..."
"Do you know why I was talking to you at this time? Because now is the most critical time..." Fei Qian smiled, smiling like a devil's smile. "Tong Groga surrendered, he was afraid of death, he would not mind proving that you were the culprit of the war in the Western Regions! He would prove that you summoned the believers in the Western Regions, you sent the believers to the death, you were taking advantage of the trust of the Western Regions believers in the Buddha, you went into the evil path and betrayed the Arhat... By then you will not have any merit! All that is waiting for you is boundless and endless karma!"
"Master, do you believe it?"
Chapter completed!
