Regarding the request of foreign laymen, Feng Zhizhang refused.
He said with great embarrassment: Those who I recommend are all converts to Xuande Cave Heaven, and you are not an exception.
??The foreign layman still wanted to move forward as soon as possible, because he was already in the advanced stage of cancer. Treatment elsewhere was ineffective, so he came to China as a last-ditch effort.
Commander Feng told him, if you can build a Taoist temple in your hometown and promote some Taoist ideas, if there is a chance later, I will talk to the people in Luohua and maybe there will be a space available there.
This is deception. The possibility he mentioned does exist, but based on Feng Jun's perception of foreigners, the probability of this happening is infinitely close to zero.
¡°However, Director Feng believes that moderate relief is also important for cancer patients - you must first see the hope of living.
So the patient went back to his hometown to build a Taoist temple, and also invited a Taoist priest from Taibai Mountain to go with him. In addition to giving guidance on the construction of the Taoist temple, he also shared some Taoist ideas.
As Director Feng said, Feng Jun¡¯s ability to treat cancer has actually greatly promoted the external promotion of Taoism.
The influence of Taoism in foreign countries is really too small. The occasional place to worship Lao Tzu or the Three Pure Ones is only a small room or two, with no main hall at all. In addition, it is smoky and the lighting is not good. It's like an underground shoe cult.
When this person was building a Taoist temple, someone came and asked, what is the doctrine of the church you are planning to build?
The purpose of the Taoist sect is actually quite peaceful. Except for the "changing destiny against heaven" which has some edge, other ideas have little to do with secular society. Practitioners cultivate themselves and do not cultivate external things.
In particular, Taoism does not exclude other faiths, which is very rare in the Western world. The various sects they have heard of are basically monotheistic religions. They even wonder, why are Chinese sects so inclusive?
Strictly speaking, in ancient India or Africa, there were still some clan names that were not completely exclusive. However, due to issues of origin, the non-exclusive nature of these clan names was regarded as a label of ignorance and backwardness.
However, although China is still very backward per capita, no one can regard China as a backward country. Therefore, the Taoist sect's inclusiveness provides them with a very novel feeling.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Taoist sect will not take the initiative to develop believers, and it has no prejudice against those who do not believe in it, and there is no aggression at all. This kind of behavior may be regarded as cowardice, but some people think that the sect will continue if it is not extreme. For more than two thousand years, it has its own reason.
Within a week of this patient¡¯s return to China, more than a dozen people were interested in Taoism, and some of them had the intention of converting.
He happily called Commander Feng to tell him, but Commander Feng said there was no rush to convert. You should first let them fully understand the philosophy of Taoism - for example, buy a copy of the Tao Te Ching and study it.
When this group of people heard about it, they were quite surprised - we are willing to accept baptism, shouldn't you accept it happily? What does it mean to exclude us?
????????? In fact, under normal circumstances, Commander Feng would have accepted it without hesitation, but since he had debated the battle of civilizations with Feng Jun, he also realized how the Taoist sect should go out.
Anyway, at this stage, there is really no need for Taoism to seriously operate overseas. When the per capita and historical per capita increase in the future, you may consider paying attention to overseas Taoism, but that is just attention.
What Commander Feng didn¡¯t expect was that his refusal would actually make this group of people more curious.
There are many overseas translations of the Tao Te Ching. In terms of sales, it is not as good as the legend says, but it is not too bad. Many people read it as a philosophical work.
Philosophical works are destined to be a niche culture, especially in the West. Although there are more elites, most people read philosophical works just to prove that they belong to the elite class and can pick up the topic when chatting.
Simply put, in the eyes of Westerners, the Tao Te Ching is very niche even among philosophical works, and not many people study it.
Butif someone is willing to delve into it and read some famous annotations, they can feel the Eastern wisdom contained in it.
Most people have never delved into it, so once they start to think about it, they find that this book has a lot of truth.
But the sad thing is that there are too many translations of the Tao Te Ching, and the so-called famous annotations are also very contradictory. They couldn't figure out why, so they found a little girl studying in China to get a more authoritative answer.
However, the girl¡¯s answer was very strange, saying that this book can be interpreted in many ways, each of which may be authoritative.
So not long after, againHe walked out of the Jade Tower with a smile. When the girls practicing in the backyard saw this, they were all stunned - why are the two elders here?
"Put away your cell phones," Feng Jun greeted everyone first, and then explained with a smile when he saw that they all did so.
"I built a pair of moving array disks between Chaoyang and Luohua. That's how my parents came here. If you want to go to Chaoyang anytime, just tell me and we'll be there in no time."
Sister Hong and the other three have been to the mobile phone plane and heard about the moving array disk, so they were not surprised. However, when Li Shishi heard this, her eyes suddenly opened, "This is a teleportation array, right? Can we only go to Chaoyang?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a voice came from the intercom at her hand, "Li Shishi, come out and pick me up. It's okay for you and Luo Hua to change people. Why is there an extra 'Sacred Guard' at the door?"
"It's the Little Heavenly Master," Li Shishi said with a smile, "What's the matter?"
"I want to advance to Xiantian," Tang Wenji replied simply, "Feng Jun gave me a guarantee and asked me to come to him."
Hearing this, all the girls looked at Feng Jun with strange expressions.
