Marquis Wu sent Zhuge Dali to visit the old heavenly master

The old monk has practiced martial arts and practiced Zen all his life, and he really can't accept the deviant ways of some temples today.

At the beginning, he saw a "monk recruitment notice" drafted by the new Shaolin abbot for other temples, so he couldn't bear it and ran to Lingyin Temple. The old monk still can't forget the above sentence [recruiting monks, preferential treatment, training for three days] You can shave and go to work, and don't interfere with your private life after get off work...]

It is an insult to the pure place of Buddhism!

"Leader Meng, don't beat around the bush. If you have something to say, it's okay to say it." After being provoked by someone, Monk Jiekong felt much depressed, and the implication was that he was driving people away.

"Okay~ Then I'll use a more emotionally intelligent way to say it directly...Master, I wonder if you have considered taking a nine-year compulsory education?"

"Meng Mengzhu means that the knowledge of the poor monk is not as good as that of a fifteen-year-old boy?" Several blue veins appeared faintly on the forehead of the old monk.

"how is this possible?"

Meng Lang spread his hands, and continued to babble in an elegant and easy-going way: "I just regret that you have been delayed and abused by the old society, otherwise, anyone who has studied for two years would not be able to say such stupid things as fake monks are not as good as real monks ..."

Chapter 464 Young Master Meng Lang Proposes Home With Me

Although his blood pressure was raised by someone's bastard words, Master Jiekong still calmed down his anger with his good Buddhist cultivation.

"Amitabha, what is the explanation of Meng Mengmeng's words? The poor monk doesn't understand very well. How come those scumbags who pretend to be cheaters in the name of Buddhism are better than us monks who practice meditation and observe the precepts?"

"It's very simple, because Master, you and I see things from different perspectives and structures—you are too narrow!"

Meng Lang spread out his palms and talked eloquently, "May I ask Master, do Buddhas advocate the equality of all living beings?"

"Amitabha, this is natural."

"Then dare to ask, in terms of Buddhism, what is the meaning of life?"

"This……"

The old monk bowed his head and pondered for a while, then slowly folded his hands together: "Amitabha! The Buddha said: Don't do any evil, do all good, and purify your mind. This is all Buddhism - the meaning of life lies in the process, not the result."

"How to live, how to understand living, how to express living, this is the only thing that sentient beings can decide for themselves. I think this is probably the meaning of life."

"Hmm~" Meng Lang nodded again and again after hearing the old monk's words, and couldn't help applauding and laughing, "Amazing! Being able to stretch the word 'I don't know' so long is difficult for the Buddhist masters who have had enough to eat and have nothing to do. .”

With a sarcasm of yin and yang, Meng asked without waiting for the other party to get angry: "Master, just now you said that Buddhism believes that all living beings are equal, so may I ask - if according to what you just said, the meaning of life lies in expressing its process, So what does a snail have to do to live a good life? Draw a perfect arc in a tree with slime?"

"This!" The old monk was speechless for a moment.

He has a lot of Buddhist teachings, and there are not many reverse sophistry routines that can be used to deal with this kind of sophistry, but that will only make the two parties fall into an endless loop of breaking logic, and it will not be of any benefit to the communication between each other.

Seeing that he couldn't answer for a while, Meng struck while the iron was hot: "Master, what I just said was just a snail. If you change the example to other smaller creatures that don't even have the ability to think independently, please tell me its existence." What's the point?"

"...Amitabha, I don't know, what's the best opinion of Leader Meng?"

Meng Lang shook his head indifferently: "I don't have any high opinions. I believe in science. In science, if we refine the interpretation of life to the extreme, we will naturally come up with a unique answer-the reason why life exists has one and only one fundamental purpose. That's survival and reproduction."

Xie Kong was stunned for a while, and put his palms together again: "Leader Meng is right, for life, the most important thing is life itself."

"It would be great if the master agrees! Since we all agree that the only goal of human beings is to survive and reproduce, then I would like to ask, is it against the teachings of the Central Plains Buddhism and the Quanzhen Taoist school to require monks and Taoists to cut off reproduction in the name of 'becoming a monk'?" Humanity?"

"Uh……"

"Obviously, right? Then the Central Plains Buddhism and the Quanzhen Taoist sect spread anti-human doctrines everywhere, are they considered anti-human organizations that bring disaster to the common people?"

"This!"

"There are monks in Shaolin, and Quanzhen also has inherited martial arts. No matter how you whitewash it, these are undoubtedly violent armed forces... Hehe~ These are violent armed forces cultivated within the anti-human organization!"

Seeing Monk Jiekong's increasingly sad face, Meng Lang casually glanced at Quanzhen Taoist Liu Xingyang standing in the corner.

Sure enough, the Taoist priest's face turned green.

As a result, Meng Lang's face became more serious: "From the perspective of us public servants, Shaolin Temple could have been defined as a 'violent anti-human armed oblique religious organization'... May I ask Master, compared with the current law-abiding and tax-paying, active development Shaolin Temple, a commercial company of film and television culture, why should we have a good impression of the original thing?"

Jiekong: "..."

I don't know why, but the old monk always felt that the other party was talking nonsense, but he couldn't find a way to refute it for a while, so he could only stand there awkwardly.

Seeing that the other party seemed to have been persuaded by him, Meng was very inflated and taught his apprentice on the spot: "Chu Lan, Xingtong, you all have to remember in the future, you must start from the overall situation when looking at problems, and don't always blindly listen to what the market says. The so-called rumors and word of mouth!

We are a country where the people are the masters of the country. Only monks and priests who marry their wives and pay taxes are what the motherland and the people need!

Their existence is like tobacco, alcohol and video games. Although they are harmful, they can indeed be used as a remedy for everyone's boring life. As long as they are not addicted, they are not considered social garbage.

The real social garbage is those so-called hermits who do not participate in reproduction, do not pay taxes according to the law, do not defend their homes, and even spread their anti-human teachings around! "

After a series of slanderous remarks about Sang Sang and Huai Huai were thrown out, Meng Lang glanced at Liu Xingyang's pale face, took a sip of tea and concluded leisurely:

"Sooner or later, the Haoqi League will be handed over to you two boys, so you have to keep in mind that for the moths in the country, for the safety of the country and the happiness of the people, we, as public servants of the people, can bear it for a while.

But if these moths take the waiting time we have left for them to reform out of good intentions as weakness and bullying, they dare not make trouble... Believe me, before I leave, I will definitely leave a place for you to work together and serve the country. A world of flowers for the people! "

"I understand, thank you Master for teaching me!" x2

Speaking of which, Xie Kong and Liu Xingyang already understood the purpose of Meng Lang's visit.

As far as Jiekong was concerned, although Meng Lang used fallacies to justify today's Shaolin Temple, at least what he brought was the affirmation from above that the entire Buddhism "advances with the times".

In other words, as long as Buddhism does not deviate from the general direction of commercialization, it still has a place in the foreign blueprint of the country's future planning.

As for the Dharma... as long as you don't wantonly attract believers like before, no one will come to talk about it behind closed doors;

As far as Liu Xingyang was concerned, the conversation between Meng Lang and Xie Kong was absolutely murderous.

Although he really couldn't figure it out, his family's Quanzhen lineage was just aloof from the world, and had declined to participate in the Alien Conference for decades. Why did it suddenly attract the disgust of Meng Lang, a vicious dog?

Yes, we don’t farm land; yes, we don’t have children; yes, we sell charms and incense without paying taxes to the country; yes, we will not contribute to the country until the last moment.

But so what?

Isn't it because we are lazy if we don't farm?We are chanting diligently!

So what if you don't have children?Are we happy that you can manage it?

It is not our request not to pay taxes. If you think we are expensive, you don’t have to buy it!

It's even more nonsense if we don't defend our home and country. We practice martial arts to strengthen our bodies, and combat power is just an accessory. You can't force me to go to the battlefield just because I'm strong, right?What does it have to do with me when someone else gets on?

Just when Liu Xingyang was puzzled, Meng Lang secretly sighed.

In fact, he himself knows that the religion currently being developed in the flower planters is not even a minor disorder, and there are even quite a few outdated philosophies in it that can be used as a spice to enrich the national culture, but for the development of future generations, some Danger must be nipped in the bud...
