The afterglow of the setting sun falls in the yard, reflecting everyone's different moods at this time.√∟Dian Dian Novel,..o

Yang Ming's question made everyone fall into silence, especially the old monk, the abbot, who frowned and thought about this issue.

After a while, the abbot accidentally saw Yang Ming's confident look, and his heart moved, and he couldn't help but said: "Little donor Yang, I know that you have gaps in your heart, please give me some guidance!"

The old abbot's words made the other monks in Shaolin Temple turn their attention to Yang Ming.

Master Yang also looked at his beloved disciple. Although he didn't know what Yang Ming was thinking, he thought of the set of rules Yang Ming designed for the Wuji Sect, and estimated that what his beloved disciple wanted to express this time was almost the same.

When Yang Ming heard what the old abbot said, he didn't refuse. He coughed lightly, looked around at everyone, and then said slowly: "First of all, we have to figure out what is the purpose of making a movie about Shaolin Temple?"

"For money? Or for fame? Or for something else?"

The old abbot and other monks couldn't help but look thoughtful when they heard Yang Ming's rhetorical question.

However, before they could react, Yang Ming continued: "As far as I know, Shaolin Temple should be a Zen Buddhist sect, but among the Buddhist holy places in China, there is no Chongshan Shaolin lineage!"

As soon as he said this, except for the old abbot, the other monks couldn't help but look at Yang Ming fiercely.

The four famous Buddhist mountains in China are Mount Wutai in Shanxi, Mount Putuo in Zhejiang, Mount Emei in Sichuan, and Mount Jiuhua in Anhui. They are known as "Golden Wutai, Silver Putuo, Bronze Emei, and Iron Jiuhua". They are dedicated to Manjusri Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Samantabhadra respectively. Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Mount Wutai, Mount Putuo, Mount Jiuhua, and Mount Emei are recognized as Buddhist holy places and the four famous mountains. These are the places where Bodhisattvas reside and manifest themselves. The most famous one is Mount Wutai, which serves as the symbol of Manjushri. The Bodhisattva's dojo is clearly recorded in Buddhist scriptures, and the other three places are the holy places where the Bodhisattva appears.

In previous lives, Shaolin Temple used commercialization to promote Shaolin Temple to the world, but this could not change its embarrassing status in Buddhism.

It can only be regarded as a famous temple, not a Buddhist holy place.

In this life, the current influence of Shaolin Temple is even more unbearable than in previous lives.

The reason why Yang Ming said this was not to poke the sore feet of the Shaolin Temple. He glanced at the angry-faced monks in front of him and continued calmly: "With martial arts as the reason and movies as the carrier, I can indeed bring the Shaolin Temple's The popularity has increased a lot in a short period of time, but how can we maintain this influence, whether at home or abroad, how can we attract local people and let the Shaolin Temple grow to reach the heights in your hearts?"

"The gorgeous and dazzling martial arts can make you happy for a while, but it cannot protect the glory of Shaolin Temple. So, what should you do after the people are no longer interested in martial arts? Continue to use various novel martial arts moves? What if that happens? If you come, it won’t be what I want!”

Based on the development history of the Shaolin Temple in the previous life, he analyzed the outcome of the Shaolin Temple in the future. Relying solely on gorgeous martial arts moves is not a long-term solution.

However, Yang Ming also revealed a hint of his inner thoughts in his words.

The old abbot looked up at Yang Ming, his eyes shining brightly, and said with a strange look: "Buddhism? Zen?"

Yang Ming said happily after hearing this: "Not bad!"

"Buddhism has a long history, and Shaolin Temple is a thousand-year-old temple. If we use movies to package and promote it, and combine it with Shaolin martial arts, it will definitely have a unique charm. With martial arts as the branch and Zen Buddhism as the foundation, we can go further!" Yang Ming means!

Said deeply.

"This is a great idea!" The old abbot became more and more excited as he thought about it. He wished he could go back to his room and quietly think about and perfect this idea.

"We can learn from the development of Western religions!" Yang Ming thought for a while and added, "Western people can go to churches to pray for atonement, hold wedding ceremonies, and even pray for the deceased to be buried in peace. You don't have to follow them.

All functions, but it is necessary to study the system of Western religions!”

In fact, when Yang Ming thought about the development of Western religions in China in his previous life, he felt extremely heartbroken.

It goes without saying about Western festivals; Valentine's Day and Christmas are much more important in the minds of many young people than Chinese Valentine's Day and New Year's Day.

Western Christianity has also expanded astonishingly in China. Even old men and women in the countryside believe in Jesus. They usually live frugally, but they can donate hundreds of yuan to build a Christian church.

Weddings, funerals, prayers, there is nothing that the Christian church cannot do.

Yang Ming remembered that in his previous life, a good friend went to the church to hold a wedding ceremony. The various expenses were added up and cost nearly 50,000 yuan. The priest alone received a red envelope of 10,000 yuan, as well as the cost of renting the venue.

Of course, this is also based on the situation in each place, and the price will also vary.

In fact, this is a manifestation of the influence of Western culture on China.

This phenomenon is still relatively rare in this world. After all, the current government attaches great importance to China's traditional culture and customs, and protects this area better. They even strictly order local governments to set an example, which ensures that traditional culture is protected to the greatest extent.

But in the future, we can’t rely on the government level to protect culture, right?

With the advancement of science and technology and the emergence of various high technologies, promoting national culture through the media is also an important means in today's society.

Yang Ming hopes that through the medium of film, Chinese culture can be spread to every corner of the world, so that people all over the world can be infected by the advanced Chinese civilization and identify with it.

Then, he suggested to the old abbot that if the Shaolin Temple becomes famous and establishes branches in various places, then the rules must be formulated.

Here, Yang Ming took Wuji Pavilion as a reference.

Wuji Pavilion represents Taoist culture, so what are the characteristics of Taoist culture?

Governing by doing nothing, Tao follows nature!

But these foreigners must not understand it at first! Then Yang Ming changed these concepts into meanings that foreigners can understand!

Advocate freedom and be unrestrained!

When Yang Ming came up with the theme idea for the Wuji Pavilion targeting foreign people and promoted it in the museum, it immediately achieved good results.

Originally, foreigners had been clamoring for the liberation of nature, human rights and freedom, and they had to protest against trivial matters.

Wujikan, a Taoist thought with "freedom" as its core, is very popular among martial arts students.

In other words, what students go to Wuji Hall to learn is not martial arts, but freedom!

Only in this way can students be united into a single rope, exert greater influence, and infect more people with common ideas.

When the old abbot listened to Yang Ming's introduction to the various rules of Wuji Pavilion, his eyes became brighter and brighter. Before Yang Ming had finished speaking, the old monk left Yang Ming and left, and then dropped a sentence:

"I'll go back and think about what kind of Buddhist thought our Shaolin Temple uses as the core of the establishment of the temple!"
