Chapter 1611(1/2)
Qin Ran shook his head and smiled:
"You are overthinking. Buddhism is not that generous, and the so-called Paradise is all lies. Only Buddhas and Bodhisattvas with attained attainments can enter. Some secular believers do not have this blessing."
"In other words, they believe in Buddhism. Buddhism will not bring them any benefits. After death, they will enter the six paths of reincarnation and endure all kinds of suffering."
Li Shimin's face showed a look of shock and said:
"Is it really so? But why do those believers believe it so firmly?"
Qin Ran smiled disdainfully:
"It's just a trick used by some foolish people to preach destiny and reincarnation. The suffering in this life is to atone for the sins of the past life and accumulate negative virtues for the next life."
"So no matter how miserable these believers live, they will think that it is not that gods and Buddhas do not bless them, but that they are atoneing for their past lives."
"Only by devoutly believing in Buddhism and practicing hard can we escape suffering and enter the world of bliss."
"It's a pity that this paradise is just a dream and a piece of pie painted by Buddhism. It will never be touched."
Li Lizhi also had a look of emotion on her face. She did not expect that the aloof, desireless gods and Buddhas could have such insidious plans.
On the contrary, Li Shimin was much calmer.
As an emperor, he naturally understands certain truths.
These strategies to fool the people are actually not only practiced by Buddhism, but also by Legalists and Confucians.
As the king of a country, Tu Shao also needs to use these methods to govern the country.
"Not all people in the world are ignorant, and they may not all believe in this statement."
Li Shimin said.
It is not surprising that ordinary people, due to their uncivilized intelligence, have their minds controlled.
But these wealthy families are different.
A child of a wealthy family, he has read poetry and books since he was a child and has extraordinary knowledge.
Moreover, those who can enter the court and serve as officials are not ordinary people, and they cannot be controlled by Buddhism so easily.
Qin Ran smiled and said:
"The ministers in the court and the children of wealthy families will naturally not be fooled by Buddhism so easily.
"Buddhism will make some promises to them, just like Wei Zheng, but it's not certain whether these promises can be fulfilled."
"The reason they support Buddhism is actually more out of fear in their hearts, fear of the power of gods and Buddhas. They are afraid that once you demolish the temple, Buddhism will just surrender to them."
Li Shimin nodded, deeply convinced.
In fact, it was not only these ministers who were afraid of Buddhism, but also him.
After all, no matter how high your position in the secular world is, how can you fight against the immortals?
It was just Qin Ran who gave him the confidence.
Otherwise, even if he has great hatred, he will just endure the shit silently in Bai Ju'anza.
"Then how to crack this?" Li Shimin asked.
"It's very simple, just break the impression in their minds and let them know that Buddhism is not omnipotent and one family is the only one."
"Even if they don't believe in Buddhism, they will not be subject to any retaliation or punishment, and their resistance to this will naturally be greatly reduced."
Qin Ran said,
The Buddha's light lingers on it, and the spiritual charm is washed away.
Li Shimin looked at the scriptures and said in surprise:
"What is this?"
"This is the Mahayana Sutra that Guanyin Bodhisattva once spoke of."
Qin Ran said.
"Mahayana Sutra?"
Li Shimin suddenly looked shocked, and his head was a little confused. Didn't it mean that he didn't get the scripture? Why did it suddenly appear in the hands of the consort?
Qin Ran explained:
"There is no need to doubt, I have indeed not obtained this thing before, but I know its contents very clearly. Now I am just copying it."
Fortunately, Li Shimin was used to seeing the magic of his consort, so he didn't dwell on it. He directly took the scripture, and Jiang Er picked it up and looked at it curiously.
The golden light flows on it, and more than ten thousand words are expressed.
Li Shimin read it once and suddenly felt dizzy, like reading a book from heaven.
Damn it, I don’t even know a single punctuation mark. (That’s so good, Zhao)
Li Shimin couldn't help but look confused, and had an unclear feeling. What the hell was written on this?
Qin Ran looked at his father-in-law's confused look and said in a funny way
"It's all in Sanskrit. It's normal that you can't understand it."
"Husband-in-law, is this Mahayana Buddhist sutra really as miraculous as Guanyin said?"
Li Shimin asked curiously.
Rong Mingyu said:
"If only it were so miraculous, Buddhism wouldn't have to put in so much effort to plan a journey to the west. Wouldn't it be great to directly spread this scripture to Nanzhanbuzhou to ensure that everyone believes in Buddhism?"
"Then what does it say?"
Li Lizhi said doubtfully. Although she couldn't understand it, the gleaming tadpole text on it gave her a magical feeling.
"It's just some strategies to fool the people."
Qin Ran looked at Li Shimin again and said:
"When the time comes, you can ask some trusted eminent monks to translate this Sanskrit text in the court hall. Every couple of them can shake the prestige of Buddhism."
Li Shimin understood what Qin Ran meant in an instant and said with a smile:
"This method is wonderful."
At the beginning, Xitian Sutra Collection was the layout of the Buddhist sect, and the other party was so deliberate in order to spread this Mahayana Buddhist sutra to Nanzhan Continent.
At the Seventy-Seven Water and Land Conference, Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared in person and praised this Mahayana Buddhist sutra to great fanfare. It was unparalleled in the world and seemed to be a good medicine to save the world.
It seems that as long as this Mahayana Buddhist scripture can be spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, the people of the country will be liberated from hardship and will not fall into reincarnation.
And now the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures are here.
Ask a Buddhist monk to read it out, and Guanyin Bodhisattva's lies will naturally be exposed.
At that time, those civil and military ministers who protect Buddhism in the court will surely be speechless.
"But if we do this, Buddhism will definitely not turn a blind eye. What if some Bodhisattvas and Arhats show up?"
Li Shimin said worriedly.
It should be known that the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara can be expected to achieve the cause of righteousness at the beginning of the Yinyan Buddhist Sutra.
Guanyin Bodhisattva represents Buddhism, and now that he belittles the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, it is tantamount to openly provoking Buddhism.
How can gods and Buddhas stand so high above us and endure such humiliation?
What should we do if those Buddhists show up and insist that this Mahayana sutra is fake?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After all, this Mahayana Buddhist sutra comes from Lingshan, and the words spoken by the Buddha and Bodhisattva in Lingshan are naturally much more convincing than an ordinary monk in the secular world.
At that time, it is very likely that not only will it not be able to achieve the effect of attacking the prestige of Buddhism, but it will also be turned over by Buddhism.
"It would be better if Buddhism really sent people here."
Qin Ran smiled.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
"Why?"
"Because in this way, we can better combat the arrogance of Buddhism."
"Let those civil and military officials see that those true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are not omnipotent and must bow their heads in the face of imperial power."
Qin Ran said.
Li Shimin couldn't help but feel even more confused, a little confused.
Although he is the emperor and the king of a country, he is just a mortal.
No matter how powerful you are, you will never be able to defeat those Zhenyuan Cuosa with their vast magical powers.
He still has this bit of self-awareness.
But Qin Ran actually said that those gods and Buddhas should be made to bow their heads before the imperial power.
How can this be?
"Could it be that the prince-in-law will take action when the time comes?"
