Chapter 832: Don’t persuade others to be good without suffering others’ suffering.(2/2)
The incident originated from a protracted drought that broke out in Chechi Country a few years ago.
The monks who have always been favored in Chechi country, don't pay taxes, don't work, only enjoy offerings, and chant Buddha all day long, can't bring rain to save Chechi country, which is suffering from drought.
Then suddenly one day, three great masters of enlightenment came to the country. As soon as they came, they called for wind and rain to bring in the rain, which relieved the drought in Chechi Kingdom.
The king was overjoyed and immediately appointed the three powerful officials as national advisors.
At the same time, he was extremely disappointed with the monks and demolished the temples to drive away the Buddha and worship Taoism.
After listening to the official's story, Li Yunze nodded and looked at the monk, "Are you telling the truth?"
The monk said angrily, "I, a Buddhist disciple, are just eating fast and chanting Buddha's name. What does it have to do with us if we don't invite rainwater? Instead, these villains blame all their sins on me and ask the elders to make decisions for us."
Li Yunze laughed when he said this.
He has rich experience and has seen too many such things.
Eat fast and recite Buddha's name? Where does the fast food come from? It is not an offering from the common people or a gift from the royal nobles.
Why do people give you these things? Isn't it just to be useful in critical moments?
You can't do anything at the critical moment, so why should I give you any benefits?
Still chanting Buddha’s name?
In an era of low productivity, every labor force is valuable and needs to be worked and produced.
You sit in a luxuriously decorated Buddhist hall that is warm in winter and cool in summer, eating, drinking and chanting Buddha's name. You don't pay taxes and continue to consume society's limited wealth and materials.
You deserve to be deceived even though you are useless and talented!
King Chechi had obviously long been dissatisfied with these monks who only consumed materials and built luxurious temples to enjoy life.
When someone with the ability happens to appear, these parasites will of course be abandoned.
When I was a kid, I didn’t understand much when watching TV. I only knew how to judge people by their appearance.
Seeing the ferocious appearance of the three great immortals of Chechi Kingdom, I felt that they were villains.
When I grow up, I realize that people are the ones who really do things. At least they can protect the country of Chechi under the influence of wind and rain, so that the weather is smooth and the country is peaceful and the people are safe!
And those seemingly pitiful so-called monks are completely rewarded for their evil deeds!
Deserve it!
"Since you claim to be a monk, you should go through hardships and hardships in the world as cultivation." Li Yunze told the aggrieved monk, "You have eaten so many fasting meals in the past. Instead of dragging them out, you might as well work now and repay Che Chiguo."
The offerings of the people.”
In the past, these uncles enjoyed the worship of the people of Chechi Kingdom, and now they use their strength to repay the people of Chechi Kingdom. This is simply a matter of course.
Of course, the methods are just a little too violent.
Li Yunze looked at the shivering official and said softly, "You must know that the ants are still alive. There is no harm in driving them away, but we must try to avoid hurting their lives. After all, one more death means that one less labor force is lost.
Aren’t the jobs he should be doing ultimately falling on the people of your country? Do you think so?”
The official looked at Li Yunze blankly, his eyes dull.
