"I heard that the emperor had the idea of ​​letting go of the throne and practicing it personally," Luoyang City, in the prince's mansion, the current Han prince was discussing with his disciples and some confidant ministers.

"Congratulations to the prince, for two years of hard work. Once the emperor gives up his throne, he can contact people who are dissatisfied with Buddhism in various places and attack and destroy them together. Over the years, they have mined and built roads, and the monks have spread all over the world. I don't know how many powerful and famous families have squeezed out the livelihoods of many places. There are complaints everywhere, but the emperor turned a deaf ear and even suppressed the great business. It has long been unfair to the hearts of the people." A disciple was admonishing the prince.

"Before the father's official abdication, these words were rarely spoken in front of others. You must say that the prince also reads Buddhist scriptures deeply and understands Buddhist principles deeply," the prince picked up a volume of Buddhist scriptures written on cloth.

This is naturally no longer the old scriptures in the past. It comprehensively explains Ling Chen’s three major thoughts, and focuses on explaining what is true practice, the connection between the present and the next life, and what is the true Buddha.

"However, if you want to refute each other, it is even more difficult now," the prince spreads his cloth and said, "This Zhikong is indeed a person with profound wisdom. He doesn't want to use clay idols to fool ordinary people. Look, according to what he said, if you want to become a Buddha, you have to work hard in this world to practice hard. What is the practice in this world? This practice is a hundred times more difficult than the monks in the White Horse Temple in the past. Eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name is not possible. Burning incense and worshiping Buddha every day is useless. Only by clearing your own distractions, working hard to do the present, pursuing the Buddha nature of all things, and the origin of everything, can you achieve some practice in this life and accumulate blessings for the next life."

"Then what is the fundamental difference between it and Confucianism cultivating oneself and conservative families and pacifying the world?" A disciple looked at him disdainfully.

"The Confucianism claims to cultivate oneself, family and peace in the world, but there is no saying that it will appear in the next life. No matter how good it is, it will only leave a reputation for all generations. It will be empty after death. This Buddhism grasps this point and claims that as long as you practice it for many years, you can accumulate it for generations and achieve the right result in a certain next life," said another disciple who studied the Buddhist scriptures deeply.

"Hmph, this is exactly what I am dissatisfied with. I rely on the theory of ghosts and gods in the next life to deceive the world. The Master said, respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them. He also said, "I don't say that the strange powers and gods are indiscriminate, and use things that ordinary people cannot see to promote his teachings. Isn't it the right way to govern the country? What's the difference between those witches and Han witches?" The prince said seriously.

Despite the undercurrents, Wang Hao's great reputation for the current emperor, slaughtering millions of martial arts and extermination of countless clans can still shock all forces in the country to not dare to emerge. After all, he can still bear it now. In essence, the prosperity of Buddhism directly affected the ruling interests of many classes, but it was not the moment of life and death. They still wanted to endure until the emperor grows old and the prince ascends the throne.

Therefore, although there are many discussions among the countryside and folk, there are also various Confucian scholars who are indispensable to appear. Various factions support or oppose them, but there is no situation of force conflict.

The Buddhist sect, which pursues Ling Chen's new doctrine, is making progress little by little, pursuing things to know, and seeking truth from facts. These are all thoughts that the ancients have. Combined with Buddhist doctrines, they burst out with powerful vitality.

Promote the existing carbonite, find new ore, improve the original iron smelting technology, produce a large amount of cheap iron farm tools, supply farmers, rectify transportation, use burning carbonite to replace the original charcoal firewood, integrate the remaining labor, organize them to conduct business, correct the road, and all kinds of practical things. In the past, the government often issued official documents and relied on daily persuasion by the villagers. How could the Buddhists penetrate into every believer and truly organize every village and every household.

"Is this the world of my great man? I'm afraid I'm going to change my name for decades," a royal family surnamed Liu saw these scenes in the countryside, and wrote a blood letter of ten thousand words and presented it.

But after the presentation, there was no response. It was clearly seen in the court that everyone was waiting for the old emperor to give way. The day when the prince ascended the throne was to clear the Buddhist sect.

Another year passed. The Emperor of Han not only did not give way, but instead practiced Buddhism, was clear-hearted and fewer desires, no longer favored him, and less violent. His physical condition was better every day, and it seemed that it would be no problem for the emperor to be in another ten years.

The prince was anxious. He was thirty years old this year. He sang and danced with his guests on weekdays, and often looked like a fishing person. Instead, he felt that his health was getting worse day by day. Since the Han Dynasty, countless powerful people died in their thirty years.

He began to gather the important officials and royal families who were often dissatisfied with Buddhism and secretly began to connect.

…………

In a temple, Ling Chen was teaching scriptures to several outstanding Buddhists.

"Wuchen, you have the deepest understanding and qualifications. Let me tell you about the current situation of Buddhism?"

Ling Chen could see clearly and clearly, but all of this was in his control. The only thing that broke out from his control in this civilized world was the previous ghosts and monsters, but he could only wait until he entered here three times before solving them. Fortunately, like many plagues that were flooding, the ghosts and monsters were in chaos for only a moment and soon disappeared from all over the place. Of course, Ling Chen did not think they had disappeared, but was hidden.

"Yes, Buddhism has grown up in the world. If believers want to become monks, they must first pass through the screening and recommendations of major temples, prove that those who have understood the scriptures and understand the true Buddhist will report to the government and request the issuance of salvation. Monks do not enjoy privileges. All work is no different from ordinary people, and all taxes are paid as usual. However, practice in this life can accumulate the blessings accumulated in this life and the blessings accumulated in this life can be kept in the next life. Under the great waves, many false believers cannot resist the suffering and have withdrawn. All those who have deep Buddha nature and great wisdom are left.

The number of these generations is only 60,000 people in the world. They usually live in various temples to solve their worries and educate sentient beings. Every few years, they travel around, exchange experiences with other monks and share their practice.

The outer sect of Buddhism, the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, is led by three thousand monks, and employs hundreds of thousands of workers. He does not value luxury on weekdays and practices all kinds of work.

In the places where Buddhism flourished, most of the local people were educated in Qingming Festival, and people lived and worked in peace, and some were asked about their hardships, and some were treated for their illnesses. However, there were also a few temples, which were mixed in by pseudo-monks and pursuing the name of Buddha, actually satisfying personal desires. Not only did they occupy people's land, but they also occupied their wives and daughters, which greatly damaged the reputation of Buddhism. Due to the long-term road, it was difficult for the guardians of the major temples to patrol the world, which caused serious impact. In the past, the Buddha would not be Buddhad and only became a place where dirty and dirty."

Wu Chen gave me a speech and traveled to all walks of life for several years and gained a lot of experience. At this time, the monks agreed.

Ling Chen knew that he was right. Even if there was a saying in his doctrine of practice in the next life, no one actually saw it. Unlike the rising and falling sun and the setting of the sun and the setting of the moon, everyone never doubted the existence of the sun and the moon. Many people saw that Buddhism was prosperous, so they learned their new teachings. In fact, they continued to organize the fame and rights of believers to seek personal gain for themselves. In the smallest, they accepted the worship of believers, and occupied people's land, occupied shops, and monopolized the livelihood and trade of one party. Some even falsely claimed that they could save people and become Buddhas and ancestors.
