Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

"Donor Song, you are visiting me today. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Master Huiyuan invited Song Yulong to sit down and asked the little nun to serve him tea. He then asked politely without beating around the bush.

People like Song Yulong are often big sponsors of many temples and Taoist temples. It cannot be said that all rich people believe in Buddhism or Taoism, but most of them donate some money to some temples and Taoist temples to seek peace of mind, and the donations are quite a lot.

Song Yulong suddenly came to the door today, and Master Huiyuan guessed that Song Yulong must have something to say.

"I do have something that I would like to ask Master Huiyuan for help with."

Song Yulong said politely, "My wife has been ill for a while. She has been very anxious and restless, has poor sleep, and has become much more haggard. If this continues, I am very worried."

"Although I have some knowledge of medicine, it seems that Mr. Wei does not approve of Chinese medicine," said Master Huiyuan.

Generally, Buddhist monks or Taoist masters all know some Chinese medicine. Needless to say, Taoism is native to China, and many of its theories and concepts are similar to those of Chinese medicine, so there is a saying that medicine and Taoism are inseparable.

Although Buddhism was introduced from other places, it also had to adapt to China after it was introduced to China. One of the greatest characteristics of China is actually tolerance and influence. No matter whether it is a foreign sect or a foreign culture, after entering China, it will be influenced by Chinese culture and eventually adapt to the Chinese group.

From ancient times to the present, the most common means for Taoism and Buddhism to spread their teachings is to cure people's illnesses. Therefore, many monks and Taoists are proficient in medicine, and Master Huiyuan is no exception.

However, Master Huiyuan also knew Wei Jingwen's situation, so he said this.

"Yesterday, a master gave us an idea..."

Song Yulong told Master Huiyuan about Chen Yang's idea and said, "I think this method might be worth a try, so I came to ask Master Huiyuan for help. Master Huiyuan, you are a great monk. With your help, I believe we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

After listening to this, Master Huiyuan was surprised and said, "It seems that Donor Song has really met a master this time. Judging from Donor Wei's condition, the Zhuyou technique is indeed effective for Donor Wei's condition."

The art of Zhuyou can be traced back to ancient times and has the same origin as witch medicine. In fact, the art of Zhuyou uses talismans and spells to treat some psychological or mental illnesses.

To be precise, the original Zhuyou technique did have a touch of feudal superstition, because people's early understanding of many things was not comprehensive or deep, so there were sayings about gods and ghosts and so on.

In the past, cases like Wei Jingwen's would have been considered to be a case of one missing soul or one spirit, or that the patient was possessed by evil spirits or entangled by dirty things. At such times, some Taoist and Buddhist methods may actually be helpful to this type of patient.

This help is actually psychological, but people at that time did not understand it, and would think that it was really evil, and would think that the other monk had profound Buddhist knowledge.

Gradually, as people's understanding of things became more and more profound, some of the feudal and superstitious elements in the art of incantation were isolated and eliminated, and only the psychotherapy and psychological therapy parts were retained.

The method Chen Yang used, which is the Zhuyou technique in traditional Chinese medicine, was to use Wei Jingwen's love of calligraphy and his recognition of Buddhism to treat Wei Jingwen's illness.

"I hope Master Huiyuan can help." Song Yulong said politely.

"Amitabha."

Master Huiyuan chanted a Buddhist mantra: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Treating Mr. Wei's illness is a good deed, and I naturally feel obliged to do so."

......

For several days, Tang Shaowei kept his eyes on Chen Yang. After Chen Yang got into Song Jidong's car that night, he hadn't seen Song Jidong for several days and went to work as usual every night.

However, Tang Shaowei was still a little worried, so he asked Chen Yunming about the situation. Chen Yunming said that Wei Jingwen's condition remained the same in the past few days and there was no improvement, which made Tang Shaowei more relieved.

"Have you heard that Chen Yang has been treating Mrs. Song of Jinglong Group for so many days, but there is no effect at all."

"Mrs. Song doesn't trust Chinese medicine, and Dr. Chen can't do anything about it."

"Mrs. Song really doesn't believe in Chinese medicine, but Dr. Chen actually dared to agree. I think he's a little too proud. I heard that Mr. Wu, Mr. He and others didn't dare to treat Mrs. Song."

"Chen Yang thinks he is more powerful than his master. He dares to respond to such a request. He is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger."

"After all, it's the Jinglong Group. If it cures Mrs. Song's illness, she will be a regular guest of the Song family in the future. Who wouldn't want to give it a try?"

At the same time, some gossip in the department became more and more rampant, all of which said that Chen Yang was overestimating his own abilities.

Chen Yang is young and has just arrived at the department, but his skills are quite good, which makes people jealous. Now that there is such a topic, it is inevitable that some people will complain about Chen Yang.

"I heard that Jinguang Temple will hold a blessing ceremony tomorrow morning. Master Huiyuan will personally preside over it and pray for Mrs. Song. I heard that Master Huiyuan also specially painted a picture of 100 Buddhas and will consecrate it at the ceremony."

On the afternoon of the third day, some news suddenly came out from the department.

Jinguang Temple is a very famous temple in Jinjiang City, with a history of hundreds of years. Master Huiyuan is also a high-ranking monk in Jinjiang City. Jinguang Temple is going to hold a consecration and blessing ceremony for Wei Jingwen, which is quite explosive news.

Not only the Medical Affiliated Hospital, but many people in the entire Jinjiang City have heard about it. Some people have even made an appointment to go to Jinguang Temple tomorrow to watch the excitement.

"It's nice to have money."

A doctor said with emotion: "I heard that Master Huiyuan has been living in seclusion for the past few years. I didn't expect that he would personally preside over the consecration and blessing ceremony this time."

"Money makes the world go round."

Someone smiled and said, "Don't talk about Buddhist monks. If someone gives me money, I will do anything."

"It seems that Dr. Chen really couldn't cure Mrs. Song's illness, otherwise Mr. Song wouldn't have come up with such a solution."

"Mrs. Song's illness has not been cured. Mr. Song must have tried all kinds of treatments in desperation. If this can cure the disease, what do we doctors do?"

Chen Yang was sitting in the clinic, and Wu Mengmeng also told Chen Yang that the Jinguang Temple would hold a consecration and blessing ceremony tomorrow.

Chen Yang actually knew about this a long time ago. Song Jidong had already told Chen Yang that Master Huiyuan had actually been preparing the Hundred Buddhas Painting these past two days, so the consecration and blessing ceremony was scheduled for tomorrow morning.

"I heard that the opening ceremony and blessing ceremony is very grand. I really want to go and see the excitement." Wu Mengmeng said regretfully: "It's a pity that I still have to go to work."

"There will definitely be someone live streaming tomorrow, so just watch the video then." Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Teacher Chen, aren't you treating Mrs. Song? Why is Jinguang Temple suddenly holding a consecration and blessing ceremony for Mrs. Song?" Wu Mengmeng asked.

"Guess." Chen Yang said with a smile.

Wu Mengmeng: “…”
