Yiyin returned the favor politely and hosted a Buddhist ceremony of such a standard as a nun.
Either he is liked by Odai, or he has a strong background, or both.
Although today, he is destined to part ways with the Grand Oitai on bad terms, but there is no need to be short on etiquette. The superficial harmony is still necessary.
"Master Tianhai has worked hard."
Tianhai didn't dare to say anything and turned around to lead the way.
"The Great Imperial Palace has asked you several times. I miss you very much. Please come with me."
Yiyin nodded and followed into the Buddhist hall.
"Trouble."
The Buddhist hall is not small, but you can also see several noble men sitting in front of the Medicine Buddha, and you can vaguely see the back of the grand royal platform.
Worshiping the Buddha means worshiping the Buddha. The noble people listened solemnly to Master Tianhai's instructions and worshiped the Medicine Buddha without daring to slack off.
Most traditional Buddhist temples are filled with pharmacists, while Pure Land Buddhist temples are filled with Amitabha. They are both Buddhists but very different.
Yiyin patiently followed them in worshiping the Buddha, and Master Tianhai also patiently explained.
Her voice is not as sharp as a woman's, but is slightly deep and magnetic. Her instructions to noble people are neither impatient nor impatient, and her words are gentle.
Even outsiders like Yiyin, who had no interest in worshiping the Buddha, did not feel irritated, but were somewhat interested in listening to her explanation.
No wonder, the Grand Imperial Office asked her to host it.
Tiantai Sect's Buddhist teachings are profound. If a Taoist monk who is obsessed with spiritual practice comes, he may not be able to serve these men who have only a little understanding of Buddhism.
After all, these nobles have different identities. If they get upset and lose their temper because of boring Buddhist principles, it will be of no benefit to the Tiantai Sect.
Taking the upper class route and taking the husband route has been related to the rise and fall of Mount Hiei.
Japanese Buddhism has flourished in recent years since it was introduced to China.
At its peak, Master Yama of Mount Hiei and Master Nara of Kofukuji Temple were both known as the Northern and Southern Masters. They were protectors of Buddhism and had great arrogance.
However, with the decline of the imperial court and the rise of Wu family culture, the mage Wu Ni was far less skilled in fighting than the Wu family Ji warriors, and gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Fortunately, the Ashikaga shogunate has a tacit understanding with various Buddhist sects. The secular belongs to the secular, and the religious belongs to the religious. They fight among themselves and have nothing to do with each other.
However, the Miyoshi family started from the humblest and conquered the top, and they were eager to take Kyoto one step further and attack the Buddhist kingdom of Yamato, which broke the tacit understanding between the samurai family and the sect.
Now, all sects and sects are facing a very troublesome new situation. The Ashikaga family seems to no longer recognize the previous tacit understanding.
The general is not stupid. He was stabbed in the weak by the Mihaoshi family once. If he doesn't make changes, he will be stabbed next time.
But next time, there may not be another Yoshigan Shiba who will step forward to turn the tide for the Ashikaga family.
After Kofukuji Temple fully supported Yishina Shiba, ensured the logistics of the shogunate army, and helped Ashikaga Yoshiteru win the recent battles, the Tendai Sect felt threatened.
In particular, after Ashikaga Yoshiteru forced Hieizan to acknowledge Kofukuji Temple's edict and declared Miyoshi Nagakei an enemy of Buddha, it was no longer possible for the sect to remain neutral in the disputes between the samurai.
In recent years, among the various Buddhist sects, the Tiantai Sect has enjoyed the most comfortable life with its backing to Kyoto and close proximity to the nobles of the shogunate.
However, Hieizan's Buddhism is so profound that it is difficult to compete with the Ichigo sect for the people at the bottom. It can only draw its own light and cannot expand its influence.
The Hosho Sect was declining day by day because it was too esoteric, so it had no choice but to merge with the Shingon Sect in order to survive, which led to the change of owners of Kofukuji Temple.
The new sect of the Shingon sect, Genlaizhong, went to battle with the Miyoshi family this time. The old sect of the Shingon sect formed an alliance with Shiba Yiyin and repelled the attack of the Miyoshi family.
There are already signs of sectarian disputes and military campaigns joining forces, so where should the Tiantai Sect go from here?
Mount Hiei has no idea of a solution for the time being, so it is very important to maintain a close relationship with the nobles of the shogunate.
The Da Yutai Institute, which is keen on worshiping Buddha, is the one that the Tiantai Sect must please.
To this end, the Tiantai Sect sent Master Ni Zheng Tianhai, whom Da Yutai favored, to preside over the ceremony and accepted an embarrassing request.
The worship of the Buddha was solemn and solemn, and the nobles did not dare to whisper to each other.
It wasn't until after the journey was completed that the servants took him to a side hall to rest, and the atmosphere became relaxed and cheerful.
Sitting on the top of the imperial platform is Master Tianhai, while Yiyin's seat is at the bottom and on the left, which is the most honorable position.
Sitting next to him were the husband of the Hosokawa family and his uncle Mibuchi's husband.
The Wu family values respect and inferiority. Even in the fraternity, the seats are sorted according to the bloodline and family strength of each family without making any mistakes.
Logically speaking, the Hosokawa family's position should be before Yoshigan's.
But he is a real family governor, a real male warrior, and it is true that he is the most expensive under the Grand Imperial Palace.
After sipping tea and chatting for a while, Da Yutai looked at Master Tianhai.
Her heart tightened and she smiled helplessly at Yiyin.
"When Lord Qianxin entered Taoism, I heard that the word "Qianxin" was chosen by the master of Xingfu Temple?"
Yiyin nodded.
"Exactly."
Tianhai praised.
"I have long heard that Master Changkue of the Shingon Sect has a profound understanding of Buddhist principles, which is indeed extraordinary.
I wonder if Qianxin Gong is the name of the Dharma or the name of the Dharma? "
Yiyin sneered in his heart, it turned out that it was Ni Zheng of Tiantai Sect who started to get involved. What Ootai did was really stable.
Japanese martial arts have a tradition of becoming a monk.
Because many sects prohibit marriages, and the warriors who have been killing half their lives also like the motto of putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately, there are many converts.
But there is still a difference between becoming a monk and becoming a monk.
Those who enter the Tao and become lay Buddhists are just secular believers who obtain the name of the Dharma.
To become a nun is to transcend the mundane world and obtain the Dharma title.
Shingon Buddhism is a line of esoteric Buddhism, the most profound branch of Japanese Buddhism, even better than Tendai Buddhism.
The original dispute between the old and new schools was also due to differences in understanding of Buddhism. It can be called a scholarly school in Buddhism.
Although the sect is not powerful, its core is stable and its believers are loyal.
Although the Tendai Sect also claims to have profound Buddhist teachings, it is obsessed with following the path of the upper echelons of the shogunate. Compared with the old scholars of Mount Koya, it has fewer devout believers.
Therefore, even if Koyasan branched off from the Wakayama branch, it could still merge with the Hosho Sect and compete with the Ichiko Sect, which was taking the lower-level route.
Because those nuns who are poor Buddhist monks really study Buddhism deeply, people cannot help but respect them.
While the Tiantai Sect thinks highly of itself, it flatters the nobles in the secular world, and has long been strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
The old sect of the Shingon sect named Yi Ginrudo, so he naturally belongs to the followers of the sect of the Shingon sect.
The Shingon sect is the most strict school of esoteric Buddhism and prohibits marriage.
If Yiyin takes a Dharma name, he has not become a monk and is still eligible for marriage.
If it is a Dharma name, it means becoming a monk, cutting off the roots of the world, and will not marry again.
This Tianhai was the person appointed by Da Yutai to initiate the marriage, but she brought along personal goods.
Although the Tiantai Sect once prohibited marriage, today's Tiantai Sect claims to be an integration of the four sects and embraces all rivers.
In fact, He Xini broke many stereotypes for the favor of the upper class nobles, including marriage.
What Odaisho is obviously concerned about is whether Yoshigami is willing to marry the Ashikaga family.
However, Tianhai thinks that the Tiantai Sect is more open-minded than the Shingon Sect, so that it can facilitate marriages, and he uses the Shingon Sect's black bricks behind his back.
As long as Yiyin takes over, she will definitely explain to the nobles present the different attitudes of the two sects towards marriage, and then attract the nobles to favor the Tiantai Sect.
This is not a front-line test for the great emperor.
It's basically a way for salespeople to praise their own products and undermine others. It's extremely clever without showing any trace.
It's a pity that she met Shiba Yiyin.
