    When Zhu Guoxiong arrived at the Hot Spring Palace with Pan Zuyin, the left minister of the cabinet, the next afternoon, Zhu Guowei, who had shaved his head and pretended to be a monk, and the real lama D Lai XI, who had a short haircut, were both there, admiring the scene together.  In Indian singing and dancing, the dancer is of course not Queen Bhai herself, but the dancers brought by Queen Bhai from India.  ¡·.Both the fake monk and the real lama looked at it with gusto. They looked like two libertine monks.  The arrival of Emperor Xuanwu naturally announced the end of the song and dance performance. Zhu Jishi withdrew the dancer, asked the maids to prepare tea and snacks, and talked to Zhu Guoxiong and Pan Zuyin in the Changle Hall where they were enjoying the song and dance.  The fake monk, the real lama, and the concubine Maria, who was also in charge of the Supreme Imperial Study, were all left by Zhu Jishi to accompany him.  Glancing at the monks and lamas, Zhu Guoxiong asked: Why did the Supreme Emperor keep them here?  Most of the conversations between the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor involve state affairs - this woman has been "women participating in politics", which made Luo Xiangmei very afraid at first. Some people in the court also complained about it, but now everyone has got used to it.  But what's going on with Zhu Guowei and D Lai Lama staying?  Could it be that the Supreme Emperor wants to discuss Buddhism today?  When Zhu Guoxiong was confused, Zhu Jishi had already spoken, "Maria, show the Tathagata Sutra to the emperor and Pan Zuoxiang." The Tathagata Sutra?  Zhu Guoxiong and Pan Zuyin looked at each other, what's going on today?  The Supreme Emperor actually started reading Buddhist scriptures as soon as he opened his mouth?  "Your Majesty, is this the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra?" Pan Zuyin is a Buddhist and can even recite many Buddhist scriptures, including the seven-volume "Great Vairocana Becomes a Buddha and the Divine Transformation Blessing" commonly known as the "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra"  through".  But he had never seen the scriptures on the manuscript he was holding now.  And it doesn't look like a Buddhist scripture "This is not the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra. It is the Tathagata Sutra." Zhu Jishi smiled and pointed at the fake monk Zhu Guowei.  "This is what the national guard gained from enlightenment in Nalanda Temple, and Lama Lama helped to modify it." "Is this really the Tao enlightened in Nalanda Temple?"  Why does it look a bit like he attained enlightenment in Jerusalem' Pan Zuyin thought to himself.  "Pan Xiang, you are proficient in Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. Do you think you can add some Confucian principles to the Tathagata Sutra?" Pan Zuyin looked troubled. This "Tathagata Sutra" is obviously a "pseudo-scripture".  , if he helps to cheat together, I wonder if the gods and Buddhas in the sky will punish him?  Zhu Guoxiong knew what his father-in-law was thinking and hurriedly opened his mouth to help him out and said: "Father, Zuoxiang Pan is busy with his affairs and may not have time to understand Buddhism. Why not let his son do it for him? He also understands Confucianism." Pan Zuyinsong  He took a breath - such things as blaspheming the gods and Buddhas should be done by the emperor who is entrusted with the destiny.  "Then it's troublesome, Xiong'er. This "Tathagata Sutra" will be widely spread in India and Southeast Asia in the future, and Buddhism will also have another major sect in the future. I plan to name it Tathagata Sutra." This Taishang Emperor  Why did you and Zhu Guowei go crazy together?  Zhu Guoxiong and Pan Zuyin looked at each other, not knowing what to say.  "The Javanese Kingdom Guard will be ordained and become a monk, becoming the founder of the Tathagata True Sect, with the title of Dharma King." Zhu Jishi only paused for a moment.  He immediately went on to say, "The Nalanda Temple will also rise again in the world. A Nalanda Temple will be built in India, Bangladesh, Donghui, Java, Jinzhou, Ceylon, Chittagong, Arakan and Tanassarin.  Among them, Nalanda Temple in Java will become the main headquarters of the Tathagata Shinsect, and the other Nalanda Temples will be the main headquarters of the Tathagata Shinsect. " "The main headquarters?" Zhu Guoxiong was stunned, and then he remembered that the "main mountain system" is the Kingdom of Japan and New Japan.  In the kingdom¡¯s temple management system, each sect has a headquarters responsible for managing its subordinate temples.  "The Tathagata Shinsect will introduce the 'main mountain system'. The Java main headquarters is the head of a sect. In addition to directly governing the Java diocese, it is also responsible for leading the entire sect. The eight main headquarters are all subordinate to the main headquarters, and each is responsible for a large parish. The main mountain  (The main headquarters) is established under the main mountain to be responsible for the No. 1 parish, and under the main mountain is the final temple, responsible for the small parish. The entire Tathagata Zhenzong must obey the Java general headquarters, the lower-level temples must obey the higher-level temples, and the monks at all levels must follow the true teachings.  The Dharma King immediately responded! "'Is this Buddhism or the People's Democratic Party?  ?  ¡¯ Zhu Guoxiong muttered in his heart.  ¡ª¡ªThis is the Buddhism of the People¡¯s Democratic Party!  Zhu Jishi had a more thorough understanding of Buddhism's defeat by Hinduism and the True God Sect in the sectarian struggle.  The cumbersome religious rituals and scriptures that are not conducive to the ruler's idea of ??equality are not the most fatal weakness.  The biggest weakness of Buddhism is actually lack of organization and discipline!  The whole of Buddhism is a piece of loose sand.  The opponents of Buddhism, the True God Religion and Christianity, are relatively tightly organized. The True God Religion has a caliph, and Christianity has a pope and patriarch.  When the scattered Buddhism meets the organized and disciplined True God Religion, there will be ghosts only if it is undefeated.    If you want to use the Tathagata Shin Sect to compete for territory with the True God Sect and Hinduism, then the Tathagata Shin Sect must have a strict organizational system and discipline - the organizational principle of "subordinates obey superiors, and the whole party obeys the central government" is a must!  Only by turning the Tathagata Shin Sect into a fighting machine like the Popular People's Party can we complete the two arduous tasks of countering the Shinshin Sect and spreading Chinese culture and Confucianism at the same time.  ¡°However, such an organized and powerful Buddhist sect is also a moderate threat to the Ming Dynasty and the royal courts of Greater China.  Zhu Jishi had already made arrangements for this.  "The first generation of Zhenru Dharma King will issue a decree. Except for the areas governed by the four major mountains of Donghui, Jinzhou, Arakan and Tanasalin, Tathagata Zhenzong is not allowed to open temples on the territory of the Greater China countries. The Greater China Empire  Parliament can also pass corresponding laws to restrict religious activities. "The Tathagata Shinsect is a Buddhist sect that assists the expansion of Greater China. Zhu Jishi does not want this sect to develop too powerfully within the Greater China Empire - a powerful religion.  No matter what doctrine is preached, it will become a cage that imprisons people's thoughts.  Therefore, the ideal state of a religion is to be large but not strong, just like the Protestant sects after the Western Reformation. Although they have many believers, they do not have the strong and strict organization of the Roman Catholic Church.  In fact, Chinese Confucianism is the same as Western Christianity. There are many people who believe in it, but there is no Confucian sect system outside the imperial court. If Chinese Confucianism is regarded as a religious sect, then its leader  That is the emperor. Civil officials at all levels who have passed the imperial examinations are senior clergy. Scholars who do not have official status but have the reputation of being a scholar or a scholar are middle- and lower-level clergy. There are also some private school teachers who have no reputation and should be considered supernumerary clergy.  .  However, Confucianism did not really carry the banner of a religion, but appeared as a school of thought.  Therefore, Confucianism can be combined with other religions - except for the True God Religion, which is extremely exclusive of dissidents.  And the Tathagata True Sect that Zhu Jishi plans to promote in Nanyang and India will not only not exclude Confucianism, but will also complement Confucianism - governing the mind with Buddhism and governing people with Confucianism has always been the core of Zhu Jishi's policy of assimilating to Nanyang.  The reason why Buddhism and Confucianism should be used together is actually related to the fact that the great principles of Confucianism do not have much appeal to the general public.  Christ and the true God have heaven and hell, and Buddhism also has reincarnation in addition to heaven (Elysium) and hell. These are all illusory benefits, like writing a bad check. Only God knows whether it can be cashed.  ??And Confucianism is about "cultivating this life", and what it seeks is "to be a farmhouse minister in the morning, and to ascend to the Emperor's Hall in the evening", and the "Emperor's Hall" is definitely not as big as heaven, and the number of Confucian elites that can be accommodated is really limited.  Most of the Confucian scholars who studied Confucian classics failed to pass the imperial examination throughout their lives. It was no longer easy for a scholar to squeeze into the door of the gentry class.  If he is a scholar from a wealthy family, he can make friends with scholars and develop his reputation, and then control local profits and taxes to maintain his wealth.  But if you come from a small family, you will still be poor even if you become a scholar.  Therefore, the "preaching" ability of Confucianism cannot be compared with Christianity, Zhenshen Religion and Buddhism.  Otherwise, the land of the Central Plains would not have been invaded again and again by foreign religions.  Therefore, Zhu Jishi knew that he could not let Confucianism directly compete with the True God Religion and Hinduism. He could only use Buddhism and Confucianism together.  ??First, integrate Confucian principles into the Buddhist principles of Tathagata Shinsect.  Therefore, the Buddhist principles in the "Tathagata Sutra" allow monks to marry and have children. It also advocates that sons (except the eldest son) and daughters who do not have the task of carrying on the family line should become monks and serve the Buddha. It opposes the monks who have only sons become monks. It also puts forward the theory that monks must also fulfill their filial piety.  .  Afterwards, Zhu Jishi and Zhu Guowei also planned to recruit a group of Confucian monks who understood both Buddhism and Confucianism, and used them as the core of the Tathagata True Sect.  This is the key to promoting the Tathagata True Sect!  Zhu Jishi's plan is to be eclectic and select good talents.  Because the Buddhist principles of Tathagata Shinsect are simple, high-level monks do not have to abstain from sexual intercourse, and they are well paid, and they can also honor their parents. In fact, it is no different from being an official. Presumably, it can attract some "Confucian scholars" and other people who don't care whether they have hair or not.  Monks and nuns from the sect joined.  However, what kind of people to choose and how to train them still need to be carefully considered.  After that, schools and academies were opened based on the Tathagata Shinsect temples to teach the Tathagata True Sutra, Confucian classics and some natural science knowledge. In fact, this was a replica of the Christian church school, which used the Buddhist principles of Tathagata Shinsect to indigenous children in Southeast Asia and India.  Brainwash them with Confucianism, and at the same time teach some practical knowledge to facilitate the best of them to further their studies or take up official positions.  After the establishment of temple schools, of course, an imperial examination system based on Confucianism, supplemented by Buddhism, and practical learning was established to select elites from the indigenous children of Southeast Asia and India to serve as officials.  Of course, similar imperial examinations will also be carried out among monks to facilitate the promotion of low-level monks to high-level monks.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
