Chapter 1152: The end of the destruction of Buddha
Chapter 1150: The end of the destruction of Buddha
"Master Bodhidharma, you have been kind to me, and we are not outsiders, so I went straight to the point."
Qin Hao looked at Bodhidharma with a serious face and said in a deep voice: "This time Shakyamuni took action personally and broke the rules. Although this marquis did not want to turn against Buddhism, he had to severely punish Buddhism.
Now it is very easy to withdraw my marquis. As long as the master agrees to this marquis on behalf of Buddhism, he can agree to this marquis'' three conditions. ”
In this regard, Bodhidharma had long been mentally prepared and said in great seriousness: "Please say it, lord."
Qin Hao nodded when he saw this and said, "First, rectify Buddhist scriptures, take the essence and remove the dross, limit the number of people in Buddhist temples, do not fool the people''s beliefs, do not waste them, and do not encroach on a large number of fertile land..."
Bodhidharma was shocked. There were more than three of this one alone, right? But after a long time he still said in a stern voice: "Yes."
No, no, don’t agree.
Although Qin Hao''s condition will greatly damage the Buddhist spirit, if Qin Hao cannot stop at Qin Hao''s actions to destroy Buddhism, the other princes who are like hungry wolf will definitely follow Qin Hao after seeing Qin Hao obtain huge benefits from Buddhism and trigger a wave of destroying Buddhism. At that time, it will be the real catastrophe of Buddhism.
Therefore, Buddhism is so eager to get Qin Hao''s forgiveness because it wants to avoid the rise of the tide of the princes in the world to destroy Buddhism.
Of course, we still cannot avoid disasters because of this.
Qin Hao has already gained benefits from Buddhism, and he will definitely not vomit it out, so Buddhism has obtained Qin Hao''s forgiveness and still has to bleed heavily and spend money on life from other princes.
Seeing that Bodhidharma agreed, Qin Hao nodded and continued, "Second, monks who entered the monks did not mean that they enjoy privileges. In the future, Buddhist disciples will also pay taxes like the people."
After hearing Qin Hao''s words, Bodhidharma was shocked when he heard this and said in his heart: So cruel!
The greatest privilege of monks is that they do not have to pay taxes. With this, Buddhism can continuously attract people to become monks. If this privilege is lost, the number of monks will definitely be greatly reduced in the future.
If Qin Hao doesn''t take action, he will deprive Buddhism of his greatest advantage as soon as he takes action. If this Bodhidharma agrees, Buddhism will no longer have any special features and will become a school of the same nature as a hundred schools of thought.
Bodhidharma wanted to refuse, but he still couldn''t.
The biggest trump card of Buddhism is that there are hundreds of schools of thought behind me who come to plead for Buddhism, and Qin Hao absolutely cannot refuse the hundreds of schools of thought.
The Hundred Schools do not want to see the princes suppress Buddhism. After all, the princes can suppress Buddhism today, and tomorrow they will suppress other Hundred Schools, which will greatly reduce the status of the Hundred Schools.
But the hundreds of schools are definitely happy to agree to the elimination of Buddhist privileges. After all, there is no privilege that does not have to pay taxes. Whether it is Confucian scholars or Taoists, they all need to pay taxes, so why can monks not pay?
Qin Hao''s second condition can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Not only did he directly suppress Buddhism, but he also directly pushed the hundreds of schools that were originally standing on Buddhism to the opposite side of Buddhism. If Buddhism refuses, it will become the enemy of all princes and hundreds of schools.
Thinking of this, Bodhidharma spoke with great difficulty, "Okay." Qin Hao saw this, and smiled with victory and said, "Third, Master, I hope you can move your bed, Yongzhen White Horse Temple."
When Bodhidharma heard this, he was stunned at first. After confirming that he had heard it wrong, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The third article says what it means to move the bed, but in fact he wants to serve Qin Hao. After all, White Horse Temple is in Luoyang. Yongzhen White Horse Temple means to Yongzhen Luoyang. This is to use his great master''s strength to intimidate other schools of thought.
If Bodhidharma agrees, it means that it will lose its personal freedom. Although this seems unkind, compared with the other two, it is already too tolerant. After all, the first two are targeting the entire Buddhism, while the third is only targeting Bodhidharma.
Although Bodhidharma didn’t know why Qin Hao was eyeing him, compared with the entire Buddhism, what does Bodhidharma’s personal freedom count!
As soon as he thought of this, Bodhidharma immediately said in a deep voice: "Yes."
Qin Hao laughed and narrowed his eyes and said, "Since the master has agreed to this marquis'' three requests, the master should follow the agreement and order the withdrawal of troops. I hope the master can restrain the Buddhists from abide by the agreement and do not let Buddhist doctrine threaten the magical artifacts.
After all, since this marquis can withdraw his troops, he can also send troops again. If he sends troops to attack Buddhism again, it will not be the lineup this time. I hope the master will remember it. ”
"Thank you for forgiveness, I am a monk, no, Buddhism will definitely remember it." Bodhidharma said respectfully.
Qin Hao saw that Bodhidharma was a great master, but he could suppress his attitude so low, and he also understood how much grievance he suffered in this crisis-ridden game, so he no longer continued to catch him and get the wool.
What Qin Hao didn''t know was that as soon as he left, Bodhidharma''s face showed joy.
"Although the losses of this disaster are huge, as long as we can get through it smoothly, our Buddhist sect will be reborn from the ashes and become a new Buddhist with more vigorous vitality."
Bodhidharma was actually extremely dissatisfied with some doctrines in Buddhism and the trend of luxury. However, he was not the leader of Buddhism before. Although he had the will to change Buddhism, he was powerless.
Now that Sakyamuni has broken the rules and brought disaster to the entire Buddhist sect, Qin Hao''s conditions were too excessive, but they just coincided with Bodhidharma''s intention to rectify the Buddhist sect, so of course he agreed to it. In Bodhidharma''s view, this is actually a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Qin Hao reached an agreement with Buddhism and recalled the army to destroy Buddhism, which soon spread throughout the hundreds of schools.
"I didn''t expect that, I didn''t expect that before I came forward, Bodhidharma had already dealt with Qin Hao. It seems that this time I came to Luoyang for nothing." Gongsun Long said with a faint smile.
"Bodhidharma agreed to the outrageous request. What else does Qin Hao have to be dissatisfied with? Now the princes in the world have to thank Qin Hao again." Yan Dan said lightly.
Confucius heard this and glanced at everyone and smiled, "Bodhidharma had long been the intention to reform Buddhist teachings. This time Qin Hao attacked, and this time, it was probably an opportunity."
A hint of envy flashed in Confucius'' eyes. In fact, he also wanted to reform Confucianism. After all, today''s Confucianism is no longer the Confucianism of Confucius and Mencius, but Dong Zhongshu''s Confucianism. However, the situation of Confucianism is much more complicated than that of Buddhism. It is impossible for him to reform Confucianism by his own efforts.
"If you want to reform Confucianism, you may have to rely on the power of the princes." Confucius thought to himself.
