Chapter 1065 Competition
The tide of the Seventh Saint gradually dissipated, and everyone returned to their own lives. The Jie Sect became the first choice for monks, and the number of disciples was as high as that of the Western Sect and was increasing.
The competitiveness of having teachings without distinction is not weaker than that of everyone becoming a Buddha. Although Western teachings have a solution to enlightenment and become a Buddha, people can believe in Buddhism in their daily lives, there is no threshold for believing in Buddhism without distinction.
To believe in Buddhism, you must have Buddha nature, and the debate on Buddha nature has never stopped. Whether there are boundaries in the Buddha world, flowers, plants, trees, and bacteria and viruses have Buddha nature is still a content that needs to be discussed fiercely in Western religions.
There is no need to have Buddha nature to have teachings, and you can also come without Buddha nature. As long as you love learning and receive education, anyone can come to teach.
Theories will be outdated, the technology will be outdated, and learning will not be outdated. What is the meaning of teaching is learning, and having teaching is to encourage learning, and learning makes me happy.
The ultimate goal of Western teaching is to understand the wisdom of Prajna and become a Buddha. The ultimate goal of Jieshi is to work together and fight risks.
Although there were different teachings in the past, no one knew what happened after learning it.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, everyone already knew that learning can become gentlemen or villains. The so-called "more reactionary" is a cruel fact. In the eyes of the Three Realms, the disciples of the Jie Sect are the more reactionary the more knowledge they are. For a long time, they do not deny the strength of the Jie Sect, but the actions of the Jie Sect disciples really disappoint them.
Jie Sect has become a sect that specializes in cultivating villains and scums. With the publicity of the Anhui Sect, Jie Sect couldn't hold its head up for a long time. However, after Yunyao put a patch of mutual assistance, Jie Sect had a goal. After learning, he worked together. Who can say that Jie Sect specifically cultivated villains?
Of course, the specific situation must be analyzed in detail. After all, the monks of the Western religion do not abide by the precepts, and the disciples of the Jie Sect may not believe in working together.
However, in terms of competitiveness, the Jie Sect has been on par with Western religions and far surpassed the Analects.
The elite system of the Ancestral Sect is destined to be incomparable to the Jie Sect. During the Battle of the Gods, the Ancestral Sect was Yuanshi Tianzun who came to an end first, which shows that the comprehensive strength of the Ancestral Sect monks was not as good as the Jie Sect. At that time, the Jie Sect was not completely intact, and now the Jie Sect has no loopholes, and the Ancient Sect can no longer be compared with the Jie Sect.
Now the Three Realms are not Western Buddhism.
However, Western religion is now very low-key and has not launched a siege to intercept the Intercept Sect. It is not that they don’t want to cut the leeks, but that they can’t cut it anymore. Western religion has also entered a period of slowness, and many temples are also cooperating with the Immortal Alliance. If the Western religion cannot solve the resource problem, the monk can only find a way for himself.
Temples are still very popular. As Yun Yao knows, every time the temple is renovated and statues are built, a lot of money can be raised. Obviously, ordinary people still believe in the West and are willing to donate a little money to ensure peace.
This is not as good as Western education. After all, Jieshua is an educational organization and can only make profits by patents and there is no fundraising project. When the temple really asks for money, many people give them money from all directions.
Even a small temple in a town can raise millions of donations at will, and you don’t accept it or believe it.
Of course Wu Meiniang was very unhappy. Is it not good to have money to sign up for study? Why donate it to the temple to make Buddha statues?
Of course not good. Donating money to make a statue is so easy. Isn’t spending money to find a burden to spend money? Besides, donating money is to build connections, and learning is also to build connections. Why do you need one more learning step?
Obviously, there are many people who regard learning as building connections. These people do not really study, but just want to speculate. But even with such people, Jishu cannot stop them.
So between donating money to create statues and spending money to study, it is obvious that the former is simple and comes with the promise of Buddha's blessing. The latter spends money, and also takes time and energy to study hard. Why?
It’s like many gamers say they have spent money on games, so why do they still have to spend time playing games?
So even if the Jie Sect has gained a foothold, it is basically impossible to defeat Western religion and can only coexist with Western religion.
After all, Western religion provides the cheapest spiritual comfort, and many people cannot get it even through learning. It can be said that the two meet different needs. Jieshi definitely hopes that everyone will spend their money on education, and Western religions definitely hope that everyone will spend their money in temples.
Although it is different needs, it is related to the flow of resources and we must fight for it.
"They donated money voluntarily, and no one forced them, so Jishu couldn't do anything." Xunzi felt helpless, and was helpless in the face of these people who would rather donate money to make statues than learn. As one of the hundreds of schools of thought, Xunzi is also a person who values education extremely. He believed that human nature is evil, and only through the education of the ritual system can he become a gentleman. A gentleman improves the ritual system and forms a virtuous cycle. Therefore, learning is a necessary process to overcome the evil nature of human nature, and donating money to make statues is not.
But Xunzi could not change anything, just as his theory of evil nature was suppressed by the theory of good nature, and he did not have any good way to solve the current situation of everyone donating money to Western religions. They are all voluntary and spontaneous choices. No one forced them. They just wanted to donate money to Western religions, but they couldn't stop them.
"Fortunately, it's not that you build temples and statues every day, so everyone can still use the remaining money to study." Xunzi comforted himself like this.
Sun Bin had to remind him: "There are also various entertainment projects in the Three Realms. Learning requires religion and entertainment to seize money and time, and it does not have an advantage. Fortunately, everyone is also very clear that learning is indispensable, so we don't have to worry too much. At present, we are already side by side with Western religions, and it is unlikely to surpass them, but it is still possible to go hand in hand. Moreover, Jie Sect and Western religions also oppose extravagance and entertainment, and we can still cooperate in this regard."
Sun Bin believes that the competition between Jie Sect and Western religions is now intensifying, and the chances of winning are no longer on him, but on his opponent. Stabilize his invincible place and then wait for his opponent to have flaws.
Xunzi nodded. After Master became a saint, he, the great disciple, was responsible for the management of the sect. He held the Zhuxian Sword and Zhuxian Sword Formation and guarded the Jiuyuan General Assembly. What he faced was the Jie Sect that was sandwiched between the Western religion and the entertainment industry. Although learning will never go out of date, learning will never become a project that everyone loves.
The development of Jie Cultivation to this day is just as comparable to Western education and entertainment industry, and it is impossible to go further. Xunzi of course hopes that all the people in the three realms will learn, because only learning can make progress and make the three realms better. Unfortunately, although learning is important, it obviously cannot make everyone addicted to it.
"Oh." Xunzi didn't say anything, just be yourself. Since the Jie Sect cannot satisfy everyone, they can only compete with Western religions in the future.
Western religions also avoid the edge of the Jie Sect and work in their own fields. Since mortals like to make statues, they should make some money by making statues. In fact, Tathagata is opposed to statues, but he cannot stop the mortals from thinking, so he can only let them go.
