After several days, the news of the annihilation of the Yunshuang City Lord's Mansion and the two major families finally reached the ears of Fulong Guan.
Fulongguan was furious after hearing the news and directly sent a group of strong men to Yunshuang City to investigate the matter.
The three parties were wiped out overnight, and no one knew who was responsible.
Just when the people from Fulongguan rushed to Yunshuang City to investigate the matter, Liu Wei and Zeng Chang had already left.
Now, the two of them are already in Tianze City, which is far away from Yunshuang City.
Tianze City is within the jurisdiction of Jinding Temple, and it is also one of the largest cities among the cities under Jinding Temple's jurisdiction.
Jinding Temple does not exercise violent jurisdiction over the cities it governs like other major forces, but implements a set of beliefs.
The Jinding Temple is a group of monks who often hold meetings in these cities to explain Buddhism, good and evil, cause and effect, etc.
Their purpose is not to force everyone to surrender, but to believe in them from the bottom of their hearts.
After the Golden Summit Temple rose to become one of the six major powers, it has indeed achieved this, making many people in its lower city very devout to them.
All expenses and income of Jinding Temple never rely on collecting various fees, but come from "incense money".
Every big or small influence in these cities, merchants or hawkers, would go to the Jinding Temple to offer incense and donate incense money to the temples in each city during festivals or important events.
Just from this source of crystals, Jinding Temple has no shortage of crystals and resources.
Like the other five major forces, they have to rely on themselves to think of various ways to earn money. However, Jinding Temple only needs to be responsible for winning people's hearts and will have a steady stream of income.
These pilgrims and believers, after donating, should also be grateful to the eminent monks of Jinding Temple.
Jinding Temple has an excellent reputation among the cities under its jurisdiction, but in the eyes of other major forces, it is just a liar who is pure and deceptive.
Therefore, although Jinding Temple belongs to one of the six major forces, the other five major forces are more or less unfavorable to Jinding Temple.
On the second day after Liu Wei and Zeng Chang arrived in Tianze City, there was a massacre organized by the enlightened monks of Jinding Temple in the city.
Fortunately, nothing happened to Liu Wei and Zeng Chang. They learned that there was an eminent monk from the Jinding Temple in the city who was going to talk about Buddhism. They planned to go and have a look to see how the monks from the Jinding Temple were able to confuse people!
At noon, the two of them walked towards a temple built at the Golden Summit Temple in the city.
The temple was built in a relatively remote and quiet place in the city, far away from the bustling areas of the city.
Along the way, there was an endless stream of pedestrians of all shapes and sizes.
It can be seen that the event held by Jinding Temple in this city attracted a lot of people. In addition to the original people in the city, many people from nearby cities also came after hearing the news.
As Liu Wei and Zeng Chang walked, they listened to the words of the passers-by around them. These people spoke highly of Jinding Temple, and they all spoke highly of it.
The two walked for more than half an hour and came to a dense ancient tree and jungle.
After passing through the woods, a solemn temple appeared in front of us.
A long and wide staircase was built in front of the temple. The temple door was made of huge ancient sandalwood. It was carved with various strange and mysterious Buddhist runes, exuding a sacred and solemn atmosphere.
On both sides of the gate stand two stone lions with a height of one foot. The sculptures are exquisite, their eyes are sharp, and they are powerful and domineering. They are like two door gods, guarding the peace of the temple.
As everyone slowly walked into the temple gate, a strong smell of incense instantly filled the area.
It can be seen that the incense in this temple is very strong.
After entering the temple, what comes into view is a majestic palace.
A two-foot-tall golden Buddha statue is enshrined on the high platform in the center of the hall. The Buddha statue is solemn and solemn, holding a vajra and exuding the light of wisdom and kindness.
The huge incense burner in front of the Buddha statue is filled with various incense, and the incense curls up, filling the hall with a sacred and solemn atmosphere.
From a distance, Liu Wei saw some pilgrims kneeling devoutly in front of the Buddha statue, praying silently.
On the side of the temple is a large grassland. There are several monks wearing wide cassocks, meditating and practicing while silently reciting Buddhist scriptures.
The sun shines on the grass, shining brightly, reflecting a golden light, like the legendary Buddha's light.
There are several small attics around the temple, which should be used to store scriptures and for monks to practice meditation.
The eaves and corners of the attic are all carved with exquisite wood carvings, and the roofs are all made of glazed tiles, which shine with colorful light under the sunlight.
The entire temple is extremely wide, and apart from these few buildings, it is all open space.
Liu Wei and Zeng Chang found a random place to sit down cross-legged, and began to close their eyes and rest.
In the process, more and more people poured into the temple.
After most people come in, they first ask for incense and offer incense, and then visit various places in the temple.
Many people leave many crystal stones in their merit boxes when they offer incense.
About an hour later, a monk stood in front of the main hall and said loudly: "Amitabha! Please all donors move to the back of the main hall, the massacre is about to begin!"
After the monk finished speaking, he left directly.
Immediately, the people who were still wandering around began to rush toward the back of the hall.
Liu Wei and Zeng Chang also stood up and headed towards the back of the hall.
When they arrived at the rear, they found that it was an extremely wide square.
In the center of the square, there is a high platform with a futon placed on the high platform. An older monk is sitting cross-legged on the futon, holding Buddhist beads in one hand and holding the other in front of his chest. He has his eyes closed and is reciting scriptures silently.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The old monk's dharma name is "Hui Xin", and he is a famous enlightened monk in Jinding Temple. It is said that the Buddha's Dharma is boundless.
Recently, I visited Tianze City and held a party to answer questions for the world.
Not far from the old monk, stood a novice with his hands clasped together and his eyes closed, also chanting sutras.
Many people had gathered around the high platform. They were all sitting cross-legged on the ground, imitating the monks' appearance, with their hands clasped together.
After a while, when everyone arrived and no one continued to appear, the old monk stopped chanting and opened his eyes.
After the old monk opened his eyes, he said "Amitabha", and everyone below looked at the old monk.
The old monk continued: "Thank you all the donors for coming to listen to Lao Monk's Dharma. My Buddha is merciful. All donors will definitely be blessed by my Buddha, and good things will happen again and again!"
Hearing what the old monk said, many people in the venue immediately had smiles on their faces.
Just when the old monk was about to continue speaking, a voice appeared in the field, "Master, you mean, only those who come here will be protected by the Buddha? Will they have good luck? Those who don't come here will have good luck. Have you been abandoned by the Buddha?"
The old monk and everyone present looked at the sound and saw a pimple-faced, ugly-looking man.
This man is naturally Liu Wei in disguise.
"Amitabha, donor, the old monk never said this! No matter whether you come or not, as long as you are a believer of my Buddha, I will protect you, and good luck will come to you! Just being able to come here will bring you closer to my Buddha. It can be contaminated by the Buddha's light, remove the impurities on the body, and purify the body and mind, which has more benefits!" said the old monk.
Liu Wei smiled and said, "Didn't the Buddha talk about compassion and equality for all living beings? Why would the Buddha only protect those who believe in the Buddha? Shouldn't it protect everyone?"
"Good, good! Donor, the Buddha is merciful, and in the eyes of the Buddha, all living beings are equal! However, the Buddha protects people who are dedicated to good, and those who believe in me, the Buddha, are all good people. As for those who are extremely evil, I The Buddha is willing to teach them and make them do good, but before they sincerely do good, I, the Buddha, will not protect these evil people!" said the old monk, clasping his hands.
Liu Wei had a smile on his face, "Master, are only those who believe in Buddhism considered good people? Then in this world, are there
Too many people do not believe in Buddhism. Aren’t these people good people? "
"Amitabha! What the donor said is wrong! The donor came today, not to listen to the Buddha's teachings, but to cause trouble for me! I see that the donor's body is very violent and evil. I think his hands must have been contaminated before this. The blood of so many people has been lost! Why don’t the donor put down his butcher knife and follow the old monk in chanting sutras and worshiping the Buddha to get rid of the bad karma on his body!" The old monk had a look of compassion on his face.
Liu Wei laughed, "Master, you didn't answer my question directly, but changed the subject. Is it because you can't answer it?"
"Donor, today the old monk is talking about good and evil, cause and effect in Buddhism. Donor, you might as well listen to it first, how about it?" The old monk frowned.
Liu Wei shook his head, "Master, since what you are talking about today is about good and evil and cause and effect, I would like to ask the master for advice first!"
The old monk clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, since the donor is so persistent, please ask the donor a question!"
"What is good and what is evil?" Liu Wei looked at the old monk and asked.
The old monk had a kind expression on his face, "The path of good and evil is a major proposition in life. As a practitioner, I believe that good deeds can bring inner peace and blessings."
"Some people may not necessarily get good rewards for doing good, and some may not get bad rewards for doing evil! If a person has to do something that seems to be evil in order to protect himself and the people he loves, is this good or evil? Woolen cloth?"
The old monk said directly without any thought: "The reward you mentioned is not the good reward I mean. Good deeds should not be utilitarian and expected, but come from selflessness and compassion in the heart. As for the so-called evil deeds, Good, this is putting one's own selfish interests first, which violates morality and ethics."
Liu Wei did not agree with the old monk's answer at all. He asked again: "But morality and ethics are also concepts created by people. Different cultures and values may have different definitions of good and evil. So, is there a universal What standards should we use to judge good and evil?”
The old monk said the Buddha's name again and said: "Although different cultures have different concepts, the nature of good and evil does not change. No matter when and where, inner integrity, compassion and love are universal values. .We can judge the good and evil of our actions by listening to our inner voice and our moral compass.”
