    In October 1877, the autumn wind suddenly began to blow, and Yingtianfu finally reached the best season of the year.  ?  .Even the smog that has shrouded the Jiangnan Industrial Zone, Nanjing Old Town and the northern foot of Purple Mountain all year round has been blown away by the autumn wind. It is rare that the entire city is filled with pleasant fresh air.  What's more, the good news that the world war is about to end victoriously has filled this capital of the Ming Empire and the Greater China Empire with a festive and cheerful atmosphere everywhere.  The former King of Dali Zhu Guowei, who had been depressed for more than a year, felt better because of the weather.  Today I took a shower. After taking a shower, I changed into dry clothes and asked a few servants who had followed him all the way from India¡ªall soldiers of the Dali Guards around him¡ªto move a deck chair to the yard and sit comfortably in it.  He lay down under the shade of a tree, and asked someone to place a desk and the Four Treasures of the Study in front of the lounge chair.  I put up a sign saying "We are closed to guests" and prepared to write a volume of Buddhist scriptures.  His belief in Buddha was mostly due to the influence of his mother, Concubine Zheng. Before the defeat in India, he only had a superficial belief. He had read some Buddhist scriptures, but mostly in one glance and ten lines, and had never studied it with concentration.  It was not until he was defeated and captured and lived at the ruins of Nalanda Temple that he calmly studied the Buddhist scriptures. The more he read, the more he felt that the principles in the Buddhist scriptures were very good.  However, there are too many scriptures and they are too complex to be compared to Christianity and True God Religion, where a simple scripture can be eaten all over the world.  If we compare who has more scriptures, Buddhism can definitely overwhelm Christianity and the True God.  But in the process of actual dissemination and struggle, no one can compare with Buddhism in scriptures, so Buddhism is no match for Christ, the two true religions, or even Hinduism. It has even been eliminated by other religions in its home base of India.  It can be seen that there are too many sutras but they are not useful, and there are too many gods and Buddhas to worship.  On the contrary, it is not as easy to spread the word as Christianity and True God, which have only one book and one god.  After all, religion is meant for the general public.  Too many sutras and gods means complexity.  Too cumbersome is not conducive to dissemination.  Moreover, having too many sutras and gods is not conducive to establishing the authority of religion. It is not as beneficial as having one sutra and one deity.  Therefore, if Buddhism is to be revived in India and Southeast Asia, it must carry out thorough reforms, and it must unite all the Buddhas in the sky into one, and unite the ten thousand volumes of Buddhist scriptures into one.  The greatest Buddha among all the Buddhas in the sky is naturally the Tathagata Buddha Sakyamuni. Buddhism should regard Sakyamuni as the only one and not think about others.  As for the "Tathagata Sutra" that can integrate thousands of volumes of Buddhism, Zhu Guowei decided to write it himself!  Well, he felt that he had achieved enlightenment in Nalanda Temple.  He can definitely be regarded as the founder of the revival of Buddhism in India and Southeast Asia - but most of Zhu Guowei's brothers and sisters think that he is crazy The creative idea of ??"Tathagata Sutra" already existed in Nalanda Temple, which is to preserve Buddhist principles.  Essence.  The first is equality - of course, the equality of all sentient beings' Dharma nature, the equality of the Buddha's compassion, joy and generosity towards all living beings, and the equality in the face of karma and retribution.  It does not mean that a person and a pig should love each other equally, and that a pig being killed and eaten by a person is not inequality, but karma The second is the cycle of cause and effect and reincarnation - this is the most essential part of Buddhism!  Zhu Guowei certainly has his own opinions on this.  The cycle of cause and effect and reincarnation are controlled by the Buddha. Of course, followers of the Buddha can receive preferential treatment, and those who have contributed to the spread of Buddhism will receive even more preferential treatment.  For example, becoming a monk, donating money to a Buddhist temple, becoming a monk, etc.  All can be rewarded well.  Even if there is no reward in this life, there will be good reward in the next life.     certainly.  Doing good deeds can also be rewarded, but as long as those who do evil do not oppose Buddhism, they may not be rewarded.  Because doing evil to others or other things is also part of the cycle of cause and effect. If someone or something is unlucky, it is because they did something wrong in the previous life, and they will be repaid in this life!  And even if the evil done is not part of the karma, the evil doer can still be forgiven by the Buddha by repenting to the Buddha and donating money to sponsor Buddhism. How did Zhu Jishi's son come up with this idea?  The third is to believe in Buddhism.  You must believe in the Buddha, this is the most important thing. Only by believing in the Buddha will the Buddha take care of you in the next cause and effect reincarnation, and the Buddha can accept repentance and forgive sins.  The fourth is the entire Buddhist world system such as the Ultimate Bliss, Abi Hell and reincarnation - of course, the Ultimate Bliss is bliss, Abi Hell is terrifying, and it is possible to be reborn in Zhu Jishi's home in reincarnation As long as the Buddha is a master  Be happy and all good things will happen, so you must believe in Buddhism!  After retaining the essence of Buddhism, Zhu Guowei felt that Buddhism had too many clear rules and precepts. This was not acceptable and that was not allowed, so naturally few people believed in it.  The so-called wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha remembered that this is the true meaning.  Therefore, Zhu Guowei's "Tathagata Sutra" only stipulates eight precepts for Buddhists.  1. Do not trust gods other than Buddha; 2. Do not kill - except for those who fight in the army; 3. Do not steal; 4. Do not waste; 5. Do not be lazy; 6. Do not cheat; 7. Do not understand.??; 8. Do not be unfilial to your parents.  The above, commonly known as "Zhu Bajie", not only binds believers, but also binds monks - monks and nuns are no longer prohibited from getting married, drinking alcohol and eating meat, but it prohibits monks from owning any real estate or land outside the temple, and prohibits temples and monks from engaging in production.  business.  Monks must rely on donations from believers or state funding!  At the same time, it is stipulated that monks and nuns are not allowed to live in the same temple, and monks' family members are not allowed to live in the temple.  Such regulations have actually blocked the possibility of most monks and nuns getting married and having children.  Because many of the contents of this "Tathagata Sutra" were already thought out by Zhu Guowei, today's creation was almost completed in one go.  By evening, the first draft of tens of thousands of words had been completed.  After sitting in the shade of a tree and pondering for a while, Zhu Guowei called for a servant and said, "Prepare the carriage and horses. I want to go to the Hot Spring Palace for an audience." "Sir, the Supreme Emperor is busy with business. It's getting late now. Why not" The servant followed  Zhu Guowei's housekeeper for many years kindly reminded this countryless king.  "It doesn't matter, as long as I send this "Tathagata Sutra" up, my father will definitely see me." The old servant had no choice but to arrange the carriages and horses to accompany him.  Now Zhu Guowei has lost his throne and not even a marquis.  However, his house in Hot Spring Town has not been taken back. There are servants, carriages and horses, and the expenses of Nuoda's family are not a problem. After all, many people already know about his future as King of Java.  There were people who came to send money and gifts to make a good relationship, and even wealthy families came to propose marriage, hoping to marry their daughters as concubines. However, Zhu Guowei only accepted gifts and did not ask for a woman.  Zhu Guowei's house is not far from the Hot Spring Palace, only two or three kilometers away. His carriage entered the palace gate in less than a quarter of an hour.  Queen Bai and Queen Bai sat down at the dining table. Before they even touched their chopsticks, they heard that their son was visiting.  As expected, he did not refuse to invite him, but asked Kusumoto Takako to invite him in to have a meal together.  When Zhu Guowei sat down, Zhu Jishi asked, "Why do you come to the palace at this time, but do you have anything urgent to tell your father?" "My son has been studying Buddhism these days and wrote a book of scriptures, which I brought today to present to my father.  "As Zhu Guowei spoke, he took out a stack of manuscripts he had just written and asked Kusumoto Takako to present them to Zhu Jishi.  "Written a sutra?" Zhu Jishi thought to himself, "Isn't writing sutras something that only Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can do?"  ¡¯ With questions in mind, Zhu Jishi took the "Tathagata Sutra" and glanced at it for a few times, his expression suddenly became complicated.  "Wei'er, did you really write this sutra yourself?" "I just wrote it today, but I realized it in Nalanda Temple." "Enlightenment" Zhu Jishi laughed, "My son also  Able to achieve enlightenment? Wouldn¡¯t he be the second to Sakyamuni?¡± ¡°The Buddha was the prince of Kapilavastu, a small state in ancient India, and his son was the prince of the largest country in the world, and he was also the king of a country. How could he be inferior to the Buddha?  ? The Buddha can enlighten, why can't I? Besides, I didn't create Buddhism, but reformed Buddhism and revived it in India and Southeast Asia." Zhu Jishi nodded, and he still admired Zhu Guowei's courage - this Zhu Guowei was probably.  He inherited Zhu Jishi's boldness, dared to think and act, and was somewhat reckless.  If you were born into an ordinary family, you would most likely end up with a bloody head.  But if you can reincarnate, it is easy to achieve a career with such a character.  This is the importance of fighting for your father If Zhu Guowei had a mother like Mathilde, he would not have failed in India!  "Bayi, take a look." Zhu Jishi handed the "Tathagata Sutra" to Queen Bayi who was immersed in eating. Because Zhu Jishi was obsessed with belly dancing, Queen Bayi had been very hard these two days and her physical strength was  The consumption is not small, and the belly is already hungry.  However, after hearing Zhu Jishi's words, he still put down his bowl and chopsticks, took the manuscript and started reading it.  She didn't understand Chinese originally, but because she followed Zhu Jishi, she found a teacher and learned Chinese, and now she can speak and write.  "This looks a bit like the scriptures of the True God Religion and Christianity" Queen Bayi frowned.  "Can it be implemented in East Bengal?" Zhu Jishi asked again.  "No problem," Bayi replied without hesitation, "Buddhism is a branch of Hinduism, so Hindus do not particularly reject Buddhism. In particular, untouchables in Hinduism are more likely to be attracted by Buddhism's idea of ??equality." "There is also this matter.  "Zhu Jishi doesn't understand Buddhism, nor does he know the origins of Buddhism and Hinduism.  Queen Bayi explained: "That was 2,600 years ago. The Samana trend of thought that was opposed to Brahmanism appeared in Tianzhu. There were many sects, and Buddhism was just one of them. And the founders of many Samana sects were from Brahmanism, so  It is regarded as a branch of Hinduism by Hindus. However, the idea of ??equality in Buddhism is not good for the rulers, so it ultimately failed to become the mainstream of Hinduism.Do you think the Buddhism reformed by the National Guard should become the state religion of East Bengal and Donghui?  "Zhu Jishi's tone is still light, but what he says is golden and there is no room for objection!
