Jing Wen worked hard for several months and finally successfully upgraded Mengjin County to Mengzhou. He should have some leisure time. Although he has been very close to Luoyang in the past few months, he has never had the opportunity to visit Luoyang. This is a regrettable thing. Therefore, once Jing Wen was free, he immediately brought two beauties to Luoyang for a trip. Jing Wen brought two beauties alone, which really made many people envious and jealous. After all, both beauties are very beautiful, and their temperament is not ordinary women. After all, Liu Qing is also a boss after all, and Cui Ying has always been the daughter of the Cui family of the Seven Clans and Five Clans, so his temperament is naturally much higher than that of ordinary women. And Jing Wen was able to have two such beauties at once, which is of course envious to everyone.

Jing Wen and two beauties wandered around and came to the famous White Horse Temple in Luoyang. The White Horse Temple is very popular, and there are people everywhere here. Obviously, they all come to Baima Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. But Jing Wen wanted to leave immediately. After all, he was not interested in burning incense and worshiping Buddha. He was from later generations and would not believe in any gods and Buddhist teachings.

"Husband, let's go to White Horse Temple to have a look!" Liu Qing said.

"Is White Horse Temple the first White Horse Temple in Central Plains?" Jing Wen said.

Cui Ying took the initiative to explain: "Yes, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Ming of Han dreamed of the Jin people at night, which is the Buddha in the West. Later, Emperor Ming of Han sent an envoy to travel west and invited the Hu monks from the West. From then on, Buddhism took root in my Central Plains and developed from then on. Buddhism also expanded from the original White Horse Temple to the current temple everywhere in the world, and became very prosperous. Therefore, Buddhism is still very suitable for my Central Plains because it can guide people to be kind."

Jing Wen scoffed at this statement because it is difficult for any religion to truly develop in the Central Plains. Without official support, it is impossible to develop. Buddhism has received a lot of official support, because Buddhism emphasizes the law of reincarnation and says that it accumulates virtue and does good deeds in this life, and then in the next life, it will be able to be reincarnated into a wealthy family. This statement is very consistent with the idea of ​​the emperors of the Central Plains, that is, they hope that the people can be exploited well, and then suffer alive without resisting, and then they hope that they can defect to a wealthy family in the next life.

But who can know if this kind of next life is there? Anyway, this is right. As long as the people can not resist, the emperors can rest assured and not be afraid of the people's rebellion. Therefore, the official praise of Buddhism is also very consistent with the ideas of which emperors. As for Taoism, it has only been able to truly rise again in recent times.

Taoism emphasizes improving personal cultivation and then striving to achieve the so-called ascension in the daytime. This Taoism emphasizes working hard for this life and realizing one's life ideals. Such religious thoughts can promote people's ambition and ambition. He does not want Buddhism to expect that illusory next life, but he hopes to work hard to achieve his goals in this life. Therefore, this thinking has a certain rebellious thinking. Therefore, the emperors of all dynasties did not support it. So this is suppressed, except for being involved in the Li Tang royal family now, so it can rise again. Buddhism has gradually overwhelmed Taoism through the support of all dynasties and became the number one religion in the Central Plains. This has to be said to be a tragedy, after all, it is used to fool the people.

"Husband, let's go in and take a look. I heard that burning incense in White Horse Temple is very effective. Let's go in and burn a few incense sticks, and then ask for your husband's future to be extremely bright!" Liu Qing said.

But Jing Wen shook his head and said, "I ask the Buddha to bless you? This is simply nonsense. Don't you hear the saying that you don't burn incense on weekdays and cram the Buddha's feet on weekdays? I don't burn incense on weekdays. How could the Buddha bless me? Moreover, the respect for Buddha is not reflected in how much incense you can burn, how many heads you can pinch the Buddha. And the true respect for Buddha is in the heart. As long as there is a Buddha in your heart, why should we care about whether to burn incense or not? Burning this incense with fireworks is not the best incense. And the best incense is a sincere heart to the Buddha, a stick of incense."

"The donor is really in a good state. He can not be confused by external things. His understanding of my Buddha is really profound!" said an old monk.

Only then did Jing Wen realize that an old monk was actually walking towards him and talking to him.

"Who are you?" Jing Wen asked.

"My dear Huijing!" said the old monk.

"Huijing? This Buddha's name is also a mess!" Jing Wen complained in his heart, because this kind of Buddha's name is also a mess in later generations, and many novels have it.

"You are Master Huijing and the abbot of White Horse Temple?" Liu Qing asked.

"The female donor has also heard of me?" Huijing asked.

"Yeah!" Liu Qing replied.

"God!" Jing Wen cursed in his heart.

However, Huijing was obviously not very enthusiastic about Liu Qing, but instead looked at Jing Wen and said, "Donor, I just heard your statement. It seems that I have a lot of understanding of my Buddha. It is a pity that people in the world want to ask for my Buddha's blessing, get fame and interest rates, and have a lot of children and grandchildren. But they don't understand the truth of my Buddha at all, just for the desires of ordinary people. It's sad, and it's a pity!"

Of course, Jing Wen knew that most Chinese people were a group of "pseudo-believers". They believed in Buddhism, but they did not want to rely on these gods to bless themselves with the benefits of the secular world. For example, high officials and generous salaries, wives and concubines, and children and grandchildren. In fact, these are all benefits in the secular world, not real religion. In fact, what they believe in is interests, and what they believe in is wanting to get for nothing. How many of them have an understanding of Buddhism? I am afraid that none of them will be there. They just want to get for nothing, so Jing Wen of course believes that they are all false believers.

This old monk Huijing seems to be a person who really knows this situation, so he lamented that people all expect and have some benefits and do not understand Buddhist things. In fact, Buddhism is also a philosophy, a philosophy of doing things, not all religions. Many religions are philosophy, but they were later exploited and destroyed. In this process, some missionaries deliberately misinterpreted and pretended to be evil in order to attract believers, or another one was acted by the government.
