Chapter 196 Two Conditions
Nowadays, martial arts declines and monks are unable to continue. Even if Shaolin Temple is the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism and the source of martial arts, it is difficult to maintain its inheritance in today's commodity society.
In fact, this is also related to the current government's publicity efforts.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, although religious committees have been established, the purpose is to regulate the remarks of religious people. The state does not interfere in religious affairs, does not support or attack, and allows them to develop on their own. However, these religions must be legitimate sects. As for cults, the government will definitely not allow them to exist.
In fact, in this society, there are many rich people, and there are many people who want to burn incense and worship Buddha. However, due to the lack of religious information and the lack of monks and Taoists in ancient temples are not good at promoting themselves, some good men and women cannot find the temple gate with pig heads.
However, some small temples and small temples in the city or next to the city are very good, but Shaolin Temple is located in the deep mountains and "has no fame". Who would be willing to go so far to burn incense and worship Buddha?
In fact, let alone Shaolin Temple, Wudang Mountain is like a bird. Taoist temples are almost broken by the years.
The current Chinese religious circle can be said to be silenced, and there are very few believers.
On the contrary, the monotheistic religion abroad is coming in full force and has developed many Chinese believers.
Guo Dalu originally didn't care much about religious matters, but later he found that the Monotheistic missionary was not even spared the old men and ladies in the countryside, so he was shocked.
Guo Dalu knows the teachings of the Monotheistic Church better than anyone else. He rejects the Monotheistic Church from the bottom of his heart.
The doctrine of this divine religion is that there is only one master in the whole world. Except for their master, any other immortal god is an evil god and is something that needs to be purified.
They preach that only by believing in their Lord will their Lord eventually redeemed you. If you do not believe, then you are a unbeliever and will go to hell after death.
Some missionaries directly shouted, "If you don't believe in the Lord, you will die!"
Is this a believer? Is this a thug OK?
What made Guo Dalu particularly disgusted is that this divine religion preaches that people are born with original sin and are born with sinners, so they must repent before the Lord.
Regarding this, Guo Dalu felt that he was already a waste of time. I was guilty and there were police to take care of me. What was going on? How could a lover be guilty as soon as he was born? Damn, if this theory is based on this, wouldn’t human reproduction be a greater sin?
This kind of doctrine is too domineering and too extreme, and it is something that no one can tolerate.
The key is to do one thing, promote fraternity in your mouth, hold a bloody butcher knife in your hand, and kill it until you believe it.
This religion that comes from blood and fire itself has the characteristics of blood and fire, selfish, cruel and hypocritical.
Some believers even show a slight sense of superiority when interacting with others, which makes it difficult for some normal people to understand.
I'll go, do you still feel superior as a slave?
For such people, I really don’t know whether to cry or laugh.
But now there are more and more people like this, and it has formed a great force, gradually eroding the traditional culture of China and changing the concept of the Chinese people.
If traditional culture is lost and faith is gone, will Chinese people still be Chinese at that time?
In fact, Chinese people also have faith, and they believe in their ancestors and their ancestors!
Without the hard work of our ancestors, there would be no 5,000-year-old civilization of the Chinese nation, and there would be no descendants of the dragon that stands in the east until now!
And this godly religion even interferes with the worship of its ancestors. Let me ask, who would be someone who even his ancestors don’t want? How cruel would it be?
Who dares to deal with such people?
The ancient Chinese believed in their ancestors, believed in themselves, and did not believe in heaven or fate!
Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement!
If you don’t work hard on your own, who will help you?
It is because of this that Guo Dalu has hated religion since he was a child, whether it is local or foreign. Of course, he hates foreign religions even more.
Nowadays, the two Buddhist and Taoist sects in Middle Earth are moderate sects. If you don’t believe in them, they will not force them or curse you. As for Guo Dalu, this is the real religion.
There is a joke on the Internet in Another World that says it well:
Unitary God: Believe in me, if you don’t believe that you will go to hell after you die.
Buddhism: Believe in me, believe in me, believe in me; even if you don’t believe in me, I will save you from the sea of suffering and hell.
Taoism: If you love to believe, don’t believe it, don’t hinder me from practicing immortality!
This joke basically clearly states the difference between the local religion of China or the localized religion and the Western Monotheistic religion.
Now that we see the Western Monastery coming in full force and the local religion is in decline, Guo Dalu, who has always liked to cause trouble, naturally comes out to do something.
Since Chinese people today want to find some spiritual sustenance, why do you have to believe in the Unit God Cult as a slave? Wouldn't the moderate sects in China be a better choice?
Guo Dalu won’t interfere in any religious disputes, but he can promote local religions!
Chinese who believe in Buddhism and Taoism have at least not abandoned traditional culture, which is better than becoming cold-blooded animals.
In another world, many people condemn the commercialization of Shaolin Temple, saying that they no longer look like monks, but they forget the influence of the commercialized Shaolin Temple on the world and its resistance to Western religions.
The local Taoism in China is so cold. A group of Taoists live in seclusion in the mountains and rarely ask about the affairs of the world. The country cannot support Taoism if it wants to promote it.
People just care about it, and don’t care!
This is the most deadly thing. When a monk is really a monk, he basically doesn’t care about fame and fortune. In addition, Taoism is strict in accepting disciples, so basically a master cannot teach a few disciples. They are also sects that hide from the world and cannot become a frontier position to resist foreign culture.
On the contrary, Buddhism has always followed the people-friendly route, focusing on enlightenment in the world, and taking the universal salvation of sentient beings as the highest concept. In addition, the Buddhist Buddhism in China has long been localized, and it has become the best choice to launch them as a banner to resist the erosion of foreign cultures. Moreover, it can also export Chinese culture to the outside world by promoting Buddhism, not only to defend against the enemy from the country, but also to invade. This is a big move at the national level.
With the memory experience of another world, Guo Dalu also wanted to follow suit.
This time he came to Shaolin to push forward the root of the martial arts of Shaolin Temple, the Zen ancestral temple, so that the world can know that there is such a place.
Promoting Shaolin Temple has always been the greatest expectation of the old monk Fang Zheng. When Guo Dalu said that there was a way to rebuild Shaolin Temple, Fang Zheng was immediately uneasy, "Mr. Guo, are you saying true?"
Guo Dalu said: "What did I lie to you? If you don't believe it, then just stop it! Just pretend I didn't say it!"
Fang Zheng said: "I believe! I believe! You are the master of martial arts and a descendant of the Guo family. With your identity, how could you say something you are unsure? It's just that the old monk's wishes for many years have been fulfilled, so he is a little dazed."
He said to Guo Dalu: "Dalu, as long as you can make my Shaolin Temple famous all over the world again, don't say that I Shaolin martial arts scriptures can be watched by you. As long as it is not an excessive condition, the old monk will agree!"
Guo Dalu smiled and said, "If you say this, it will be true!"
He said to Fang Zheng: "One of my conditions is to watch the Shaolin martial arts secret book. The other is that you Shaolin will be divided into two parts in the future. Some of them will go to the back mountain to practice. You should not be too involved in the world. The other part can live in the rebuilt mountain gate, but don't lose your duty as a monk!"
Fang Zheng said: "Everything depends on you! Everything depends on you!"
