Introduction: Gong Linna's song You Don't Know the Law of Love is very popular in the entertainment circle, which has aroused great concern from the religious circles. Master Mingxian published a signed article entitled "You don't know love in the eyes of a monk" in his personal blog, expressing his views on the direct ridicule of religious leaders in the entertainment circle. Student organizations such as Peking University Zen Society, National People's Congress Zen Society, Tianda Zen Society and Peking University Chinese Society deeply agree with the master's views and recommend them to readers in order to look forward to a more harmonious and progressive society! The full text is as follows:
South Korea's song "Gangnam Style" is very famous, which makes people put down their psychological barriers and look for happiness from complexity to simplicity. Gong Linna's "You Don't Know Love's Fa Hai" seems to be very famous, but she used it as a gimmick to tease the religious leader of Zen Buddhism in Han Dynasty, Fa Hai Zen Master. Religious leaders are often teased to please the public, which may only happen in China.
Some people are silently enduring humiliation, while others have something to say.
As we all know, the monk Fahai in the song is a real historical figure of Buddhism. Jushi was the only son of Pei Xiu, a famous prime minister and great writer in the Tang Dynasty. Because of his good family background, after obtaining a bachelor's degree in Hanlin, he begged his parents to become a monk, and his parents kindly allowed him to become a monk. He worshipped Master Lingshou of Weishan, the founder of Huiyang Sect in Hunan at that time, as a master of tonsure and became a pure and persistent Zen monk. He practiced hard and lived up to the expectations of his teachers and parents. He soon proved the essence of Zen, was ordered by his teacher to preach in Jiangsu, and then went to Jinshan, Zhenjiang. Because of the strong maintenance of local believers, he built Jiangtian Temple in Jinshan, and soon completed his merits. Fahai Zen Master is actually the founder of Jiangtian Temple in Jinshan, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province today. From him, the Zen style in the south of the Yangtze River was once famous in the ruling and opposition circles, which not only influenced the contemporary era, but also continued until the Republic of China.
There is a proverb in Gu Chan that "there is manjusri in the world, and there is golden mountain under it". That is to say, in Zen, the largest court that can create good knowledge, there are Manjusri Academy and Baoguang Temple in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, all in Sichuan. There are Jinshan Temple and Gaomin Temple in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, both in Jiangsu. There is also a proverb called "Jinshan Leg Fragrance", which means that in the two jungles in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Taoist style of Jiangtian Temple in Jinshan is famous for its "legs". Without the basic skills of sitting cross-legged for a long time, you can't enter the temple gate; The Taoist style of Gaomin Temple is famous for sitting on incense for a long time. An ordinary incense can last for several hours. Although I don't pay attention to sitting on two plates, I can't enter the meditation hall without sedentary time. The position of Jinshan Temple in Zen can be imagined.
In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, due to the influence of historical and cultural forms, Zen, which represents the characteristics of Buddhism, came to the brink of life and death. Jinshan Temple and Gaomin Temple in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River strengthened their decadent style, and a large number of Zen masters emerged. From the system and method of meditation system, it was fundamentally sorted out and recorded in Jinshan Statute and Gaomin Statute, so that the Zen method was passed down to the Tang Dynasty. It can almost be said that from the late Ming Dynasty to today, one of the important forces that enabled the healthy development of Zen in the Han Dynasty came from Jiangtian Temple in Jinshan, Jiangsu Province, and from Fahai Zen Master who was ridiculed as "not knowing love".
Some people may say that a pop song has attracted so much criticism. Is it exaggerated? However, what we want to ask is: can the entertainment spirit of a society have no bottom line? !
Although we are in an era of entertainment first, some moral and religious ethics that must be respected cannot be broken. Even European and American countries that entered the entertainment era earlier than us are extremely cautious in this regard. Zeng Guofan has a saying: "I am extremely happy, treat me with courtesy, control my nature and prevent me from adultery." Self-denial and devotion to duty are the consistent virtues of the Chinese nation.
China society warmly welcomes the return of traditional culture and religious ethics. According to incomplete statistics, there are hundreds of millions of believers who have officially converted to Buddhism, and there are more people who are very close to Buddhism, although they have not officially converted. Among these people, there are also many cultural elites. And such a song that ignores the religious bottom line will seriously hurt the religious feelings of Buddhist believers.
For a long time, the storm of Legend of the White Snake, which is detrimental to the dignity of the mage, has not stopped, and Gong Linna's song You Don't Know Love has swept through, directly targeting the most respected ancestor leader in Buddhism. Buddhism is merciful and tolerant, and Buddhist disciples can always regard the present events as humiliating practice when they are strongly humiliated. But there are also dharma gods in Buddhism, who will undertake the mission of protecting the good and punishing the evil. After 2065 438+02 70, the writer Feng Tang published obscene books in Hongkong, insulting Master Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism. The disciples of Buddhism couldn't bear it anymore and began to fight back.
Looking back at the history of China, famous people such as Pei Xiu, Wang Fanzhi and Su Dongpo are not only knowledgeable cultural masters from ancient times to the present, but also famous Buddhist protectors. The story of Su Dongpo's response to Fo Yin's Zen master has been widely circulated for thousands of years. It can be seen that China culture is not lacking in agility and liveliness, but it is by no means misreading recklessness as humor. We should have some awe of historical figures, especially religious leaders at the ancestral level in Buddhist history.
Since ancient times, sages have always educated people to pursue a happy life on the principle of "let the layman learn from the gentleman", so that the rules for the benign development of society will not be destroyed, and "let the gentleman learn from the layman" is the most taboo. Therefore, vulgar, immoral and defamatory words and ideas are impossible to be popular. I think, to enter the modern society, we must be more advanced, more enlightened and more hopeful today than in the past, and we must not let excessive vulgarity and ignorance last for a long time. After the precipitation of time, harmony and elegance will inevitably be placed at the top of the social moral pyramid and become the mainstream force to influence and help the public.
I think this is not only a person's wish, but also the wish of many people, who are also looking forward to it!
Master Ming Xian: It is not a mountain out of a molehill to clear the Fahai.
My book "Fahai, You Don't Know Love in Monks' Eyes" was published on Phoenix. com, which aroused the attention and heated discussion of Phoenix netizens. I am deeply grateful for the support of netizens who hold the same view. As for the different opinions mentioned by netizens, I might as well talk about them here.
To sum up, there are three objections: first, this law is not another law; Second, the songs are based on folklore, and the responsible person should not be contemporary; Third, it's just a self-entertaining ditty, so why make a mountain out of a molehill?
On the first point: this legal sea is not another legal sea.
Can it be said that Fa Hai of Art in Love You Don't Know has nothing to do with the Buddhist prototype under the influence of the same name and the monk status of Fa Hai Zen Master?
"Cognition of the same name" has become the main topic here.
As the netizen "Su Shu Tang Zhu" said:
From the perspective of social psychology, singers use the public's "homophonic cognition" of the history of Zen master Fahai to release ambiguous signals such as "Monks and Love" by "not changing their names" and "using their real names", so as to promote the "identity stimulation" effect of the masses in the comparison between ancient and modern times and gain their responses. There is a real name, but the evolution of the real name does not come from other sources-Song's is based on the legend of the White Snake, and The Legend of the White Snake is based on the one of Jinshan Temple, a Buddhist monk who became a monk as the son of Pei Xiu, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. This history has not been forgotten by Buddhism. You can't joke without a bottom line in the name of "love" (by innuendo). You can't say that you borrowed money yesterday and slept all night thinking that people forgot, but today you say that you didn't borrow money. This is irresponsible. Buddhism never needs to pass on the history of the Buddhist monk through the white snake, so from Feng Menglong's "The White Lady's Forever Zhen Leifeng Pagoda" to today's "You Don't Know Love", Buddhist disciples never agree with the statement of "irrelevant". If this history is really unforgettable, there is nothing to talk about. And this memory, Buddhism has never forgotten.
It can be seen that everyone still agrees that monks in the Song Dynasty are inseparable from monks in history, and the joint effect of the same name and surname directly affects the fundamental image of monks. As a Buddhist disciple, a person's ancestors are ridiculed, and he will not stand by and watch. This matter is related to the status and role of Buddhism as an important religion in the current harmonious society. Buddhist disciples have no intention or ability to interfere with the entertainment of social people, but when a Zen master who has made great contributions to the future is also "entertained", there will definitely be a voice saying "no".
On the second point: the material of the song comes from folklore, and the person in charge should not be contemporary.
Let's sort out the origin of The Legend of the White Snake.
In history, Zen master Fahai was the founder of Jinshan. He was an ascetic monk and was deeply admired by local people. He has many cases, but he has never broken up other people's families. There is only one record in the history books that a white python that bites people and animals was driven into the Yangtze River. Presumably, Feng Menglong's "Warning the World: The Leifeng Pagoda in Yongzhen of Bai Niangzi" is the inspiration from this.
Feng Menglong, a writer in the late Ming Dynasty, was a real Taoist monk in the story "Warning the World: the Leifeng Pagoda in the town of Bai Niangzi Yong". However, in the version of the local drama "Legend of the White Snake" interpreted by later generations, the monk Fahai was gradually shaped into a "confused monk who ruined his beautiful love".
This kind of tampering with official books has something to do with the resistance aroused by the feudal ethics of Ming and Qing Dynasties. With the evolution of people's values, the values carried by the "sea of art and law" are constantly changing. Most works of art deprive the public of the right to know "the Buddhist meaning of Zen master Fahai" and spread it widely by singing operas. The spiritual connotation of Zen master Fahai's true colors was gradually dissolved, and he was crowned with the popular will of different times. He still used his real name, but rejected the true Buddhist meaning of Zen master Fahai.
In later editions, in order to compare the impact effect of love stories, Zen master Fahai finally became the spokesman of all "feudal hypocrisy", not only for the simple purpose of "comparing truth, goodness and beauty", but also for the artificial opposition between secular feelings and "Buddhism" in traditional cultural cognition.
But are they antagonistic? The harmonious spirit of Buddhism's two truths (sacred and secular), when deeply aware of the imperfection of the world, spread out the all-round pursuit of the true meaning of life. "The Tathagata will never become a Buddha in heaven", Buddhism did not abandon the world, "the world of mortals is the foothold of the Buddha, and it is also a turning point", and the Sixth Ancestor said that "after death, Kubote is like seeking a rabbit's horn", and Buddhism left. Not only do we not interfere, but we always care about the welfare of the public.
Centrifuge is a life concern born after "great reflection on existence" in an independent state. This kind of responsible concern is also faced by everyone. Such an important life responsibility and reflection is precious and can't be ridiculed! However, the description of Fahai in many literary works directly pulls it to the opposite of the Buddhist spirit, which is a model that does not conform to the Buddhist spirit. This is something that can't happen to Zen master Fahai, but it is attached to the name of Zen master Fahai. This distortion should not continue. It is impossible for Zen master Fahai to strongly interfere with the world's emotions. Why does he use the image of Buddhism to compare the truth, goodness and beauty of emotions? Why do we have to assume that Buddhist monks are the makers of emotional contradictions?
We sincerely hope to restore the true Buddhist features of Zen master Fahai. Although innuendo and ridicule did not begin with Fahai's You Don't Know Love, I hope it can end here, which is the need of the times. We don't shy away from the shortcomings of contemporary Buddhism, but there must be room for improvement. Restoring history is an important room for improvement that the public needs. Otherwise, the road to Buddhist progress will be artificially blocked!
The mistakes made by people who passed away and those that have existed for some time cannot be the reason why people today continue to make these mistakes. Although the mistake didn't start here, what we discussed was: this is the end!
We have no ability to smear the imprint left by a folk story for hundreds of years, but we can choose to respect history and facts and write a better future. With the progress of human civilization, today, with the increasing attention paid to religious culture, we should restore the true colors of historical figures and restore the innocence of Zen master Fahai.
Master Ming Xian: year of the snake is destined to be the year when we know the truth.
This year is the Year of the Golden Snake.
Year of the snake will be a year full of hope, glory and dreams! In the traditional teachings of Buddhism, snakes have always been regarded as the spokesmen of maturity, expressiveness and subtle wisdom. Snakes have both "worry" and "wisdom". When people don't understand the harm of "greed, anger and delusion", the common mind of the public will inevitably be occupied by "troublesome snakes" during the day; However, if we understand the negative effects of "greed, anger and stupidity", the poisonous snake of worry will immediately become a delicate and intelligent "Mani Pearl", and you can pretend it any way you want.
Month Calledbodhisattva, the abbot of the Indian Nalanduo Temple, said in On Entering China: "If you are fascinated by the blue sky, if you are as bright as an autumn star, or if you are like a snake head, and all Manizu, may universal love and proof become Buddha quickly." Although our hearts are inevitably influenced by greed and ignorance, the pursuit of truth is like the mani orb on the top of a poisonous snake under the blue void in autumn. It is like a shining star in the bright night sky, which satisfies everyone's pursuit of truth. Although the wisdom of the public is inevitably flawed, it can enable the general public to realize their desire to pursue truth. This is the great thing about snakes! Under the light of Dragon Tree Bodhisattva, the second benevolent Buddhist, there are seven serpents representing Prajna wisdom, which are the representatives of supreme wisdom.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this characteristic of snakes that it indicates that the troubles related to "snakes" encountered by Buddhist disciples will be solved satisfactorily with the analysis and pursuit of the truth.
Just as year of the snake is coming, many Buddhist disciples saw the song "Fahai, you don't know love" that made fun of the founder of Zen through the TV evening. Just as tens of thousands of netizens accused writers and singers of ignoring the sacredness of Buddhism, they once again broke the bottom line of entertainment. In the subsequent "Golden Hoop", Buddhist disciples heard meaningless mocking voices of Buddha.
If the first song was made fun of because of ignorance, then I'm afraid the second song was consciously blasphemed. Accurately speaking, this is a phenomenon of grasping the "emptiness" of historical misreading and serving the "reality" of today's banter! In the process of its continuous operation, from Zen master Fahai to Guanyin Bodhisattva, from "Fahai you don't know love" to "Fahai knows love", we have seen a kind of banter and persecution of Buddhism step by step. In the name of entertainment, the Buddhist cultural symbols of beauty and goodness cherished by people will be destroyed one by one.
We regret to see that when Ms. Gong Linna answered all the questions about these two songs, she even held high the banner of "China traditional culture". If Ms Gong and her team insist on branding this bottomless entertainment as "spreading culture", it is necessary for us to carefully interpret this Zen master and the contribution of Zen in the construction of traditional culture in China.
The contribution of Zen to China culture is really everywhere. Although Zen is often unknown to us, it has never left us!
Mr. Qian Mu said in the article "The Great Righteousness of Six Ancestors Tanjing": "There are two great men in the history of China's academic thought, which have a great influence on China culture. One is Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, and the other is Zhu, a philosopher in the Southern Song Dynasty. Buddhism has been introduced into China for more than 400 years, and different factions have emerged in these 400 years. If you accumulate too much, you must come out like a wise man and complete a great digestion. He advocates not writing, starting from the heart and pointing to the present. This call makes people become Buddhists, and puts down all the heavy burdens of Buddhist scholars on written books in the past. With such a simple method, almost all Buddhists have converted to Zen, and the whole society has accepted the thinking and learning style of Zen, and digested the past by eating too much and being too tired. It can also be said that from Huineng, foreign Buddhism can be integrated into China culture and officially become Buddhism in China. "Throughout the development of China culture, the status of the founder of Zen should not be easily ignored and misunderstood! Paying more attention to the cultural connotation of the Six Ancestors, Fahai Zen Master and Zen Buddhism is undoubtedly an important symbol of cultural consciousness and the revival of Chinese civilization!
Master Li Jing said, "Hokkekyo's Fu Yi Jing Volume 1 said,' If a Bodhisattva forbeares worldly life and does not treat the wicked, it will make them evil and ruin Buddhism. This Bodhisattva is a demon but not a Bodhisattva, and will never be known from now on! Why? Seeking secular forbearance cannot be protected by law. Although it looks forbearing on the outside, it is purely a magic industry. If a bodhisattva practices great compassion and compassion, and has enough humiliation to establish Mahayana and protect all sentient beings, it is not allowed to stick to the secular forbearance. Why? If a bodhisattva can protect the wicked, but can't punish the wicked, make the wicked live evil, anger the good, and undermine Buddhism, this person is really not a bodhisattva, and it seems to be "cheating." It is often said that I will bear the burden of humiliation-his life will end and he will fall into hell with all the wicked people. Therefore, it must not be called humiliation! "
Master Chong Ci said: "In those days, Master Tai Xu painfully taught all our Buddhist disciples: Never be a' dumb sheep monk', but be a' tidal sound' and a' lion roar'! The ancient sages said,' It is indisputable to mourn their misfortune and anger them'! If you are indifferent to the phenomenon of defaming Buddhism, can you still recite Buddhism with peace of mind? "
Master Xin Lian said: "At present, the Buddhist community urgently needs a strong sense of protecting the law!"
Netizen "Buddhism Watch" talked about the article "The Cause and Effect of Thinking of Fan Incident" in the 1980s: "Thinking of Fan Incident happened during the period from 1988 to 1989 in Taiwan Province Province, which not only made Buddhism in the stage from weak to strong, but also relied on the help of Master Zhao Hui and others. This article about the Buddhist protection groups in Taiwan more than 20 years ago is of great reference value for the current predicament of mainland Buddhism walking out of the fence! "
We have ushered in a new era of protection.
Long-term forbearance and accommodation finally began to express. From the completion of my book You Don't Know Love in Monks' Eyes, Not Making a Mountain out of a molehill, to Professor Jin's Say No to Unlimited Entertainment, Joking that Buddhism falls below the bottom line of entertainment, and China's exclusive commentary on Buddhism, Joking that Buddhism destroys three views again, the media can't escape. Millions of netizens participated in the discussion, and the voice of "morality" was echoed by the public. "Literary creation and media should have moral considerations and keep the bottom line of conscience" has become the knowledge of many netizens.
I sincerely hope that one day, Ms. Gong, her team and relevant media can make good use of their artistic accomplishment, treat traditional culture well, cherish the life nourishment passed down to us by national elites for thousands of years, and return to the road of actively spreading China traditional culture.
We spent the winter of disappointment and ushered in the spring of hope; Send away a season of doubt and usher in a season of faith; Cross a bottomless period and usher in a moral era!
All the troubles in the world will eventually turn into the coolness of Bodhi!
Year of the snake is destined to be a year when we know the truth and gain comprehensive wisdom!
Master Ming Xian: He vowed to "protect the law" and made fun of it.
It's been more than a month since the joke about the founder of Zen started with "You don't know the law of love". Despite the constant protests from all walks of life, including the Buddhist community, the relevant parties have never responded positively to the public's doubts. And under the impetus of Hunan Satellite TV and Jiangsu Satellite TV, the voice of banter is getting worse.
"Fahai You Don't Know Love" sowed a bad seed, as Master Juezhen said: "Singing is love, showing is a thorn, and spitting is resentment. In the consumerist commodity society, love has become synonymous with excitement, impulsiveness, selfish desires and excreting troubles. " Because of conforming to some people's bad habits, even the singer himself can't control the spread of this series of habits. Some netizens said: "Fahai after 70 was embarrassed by the white snake in order to collect the demon. Fahai after 1980s was embarrassed by the white snake. Fahai after 90 was embarrassed by Xu Xian. " If such a series of practices are left unchecked, the result will be disturbing.
The Lengga Sutra says, "Atona knows a lot, and all kinds are like waterfalls." Humans can't ignore the power of seed cross-learning, because the cross-learning of good will affect one's adjustment to the direction of good, and the cross-learning of evil will affect one's tendency to the direction of evil. The preventive measures of evil deeds often lag behind the occurrence of evil deeds, and the reflection after paying a heavy price is always embarrassing and heavy! Therefore, the wisdom of "nip in the bud" was born in China culture a long time ago, emphasizing "see no evil, don't listen to evil, don't speak evil, don't move evil", which is obviously the essence of Chinese civilization, but this essence has been forgotten or even abandoned by most people!
This situation urges us to think positively and find more effective ways of legal protection, thus changing the reality of joking with sages!
It seems that mastering the method of protecting the law by teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is the key to protecting the law in the new era.
This reminds people of the old adage of "protecting the law"
In the Tianwang Temple of Ye Jing Temple, where Daoxuan lawyers practiced in the Tang Dynasty, there was a very old plaque with the words "Protecting the Law" written on it. The "protection" here refers to the timely and correct method, so as to emphasize the importance of choosing the appropriate protection in line with the season.
Judging from the history of Buddhism in China, it has always been convenient to protect the law by "showing righteousness" and "exorcising evil spirits". "Manifesting righteousness" is a positive manifestation, and "exorcism" is a negative destruction. They are not contradictory, but complementary. When you encounter different things, take medicine according to your condition. Urgent is temporary, slow is permanent. It is the application of great Buddhist wisdom to improvise and choose correctly.
Dade made an immortal evaluation of "protecting the law" with their different practice of protecting the law.
Dragon Tree and Tibo, two great men in ancient India, did not stand on their own feet, but did not stand on their own feet, thinking that morality was reasonable.
In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the teaching system of Buddhism was initially complete, and most of the obstacles were ignorance of Buddhism. So after we get rid of Jaken, we will tell the truth, and the other party who asked the question will accept it. Therefore, the focus of "protecting the law" at this time is to actively "exorcise evil spirits", which is also in line with historical karma.
After the Tang Dynasty, the situation was different.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the world became worse and worse, which seriously affected the positive image of Buddhism. At this time, the focus of law protection is further implemented to "ward off evil spirits". Song Lian said in the preface to the book On the Protection of the Dharma written by a lay man in Zhang Shangying in the Northern Song Dynasty: "The book On the Protection of the Dharma is unacceptable! Gai's ethos has gone with the times. How can we resist it or denounce it? The world can see this theory, but it is terrible, but it is saved! "
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the social atmosphere went from bad to worse. China's traditional culture is facing a fundamental test. Buddhist forces represented by master lianchi, Master Hanshan, Master Bai Zi and Master Hu Yi struggled to save Buddhism and China traditional culture from the tide, and the focus of protection was more on "exorcism". Master Hu Yi said: "Make it obvious first, seize it to break the external evil, and then establish justice!"
During the Republic of China, the spread of western learning to the east, the May 4th Movement, the development of temple studies, the world war and many other social events made the already weak Buddhism even more precarious, and mages sought effective ways to revitalize Buddhism, especially the protective action of "exorcism". The most representative are Master Taixu and Master Pei.
Master Taixu said, "Be a lion roar and make a tidal sound! Don't be a dumb sheep monk! " Master Shoupei said, "It is best to argue right and wrong in life. I hate right and wrong most." Understand right and wrong like a Buddha, don't be at a loss. Right and wrong confuse the truth, and it is wise to reverse right and wrong; It's okay, I won't donate right and wrong! "Buddhist disciples do not deal with right and wrong, but they are not afraid of right and wrong.
At present, society has entered an era of extremely developed information. You can have a panoramic view of the world without leaving home. The convenience of information dissemination makes "sticking to the moral bottom line" a major problem in balancing interests. In this special industrial environment, which can be said to be extremely unfair and unjust, the existence of Buddhism in the world has long been different from the state in which the ancients could seek the Tao behind closed doors. As Master Taixu said: "The gains and losses of interests can neither be enjoyed exclusively nor exempted".
This may be a realistic portrayal of the challenges and opportunities faced by Buddhism in today's society.
Social atmosphere is inevitable, and the only thing we can do is to face it!
At this time, the positive protective effect produced by the method of "exorcism" can not be ignored.
The old feast said, "The other side is unlucky. Don't let him create more misfortune! " "Looking at the huge fame and fortune environment in the world, such a' protector' always makes people feel cool and warm. Compassion is of course the unchangeable mind of Buddhism, and the protector of evil spirits is endless compassion. In contemporary society, in the face of the derogatory influence of vicious competition on the reputation and image of Buddhism, it is necessary not only to keep Buddhism from being damaged, but also to stop evil deeds. What kind of sad wishes and wise hands do you need?
Master Xing Yun said: "A yogi can lose everything, but only compassion and love can't give up;" Learning Buddha can tolerate anything, only destroying Buddha and blaspheming, and not tolerating it! " In the summary of Fan Zhisi's incident, the master pointed out: "In addition to expressing righteousness, we need the enthusiasm of breaking evil spirits, and our rights and interests will not fall from the sky. If we don't fight for it, can the other party change anything? " .
Master Dukan said: "Those who have a bad style stop society, that is my view of compassion!" "
Master Fazang said: "Go to the relevant TV station to' solemnly express concern'!"
Master Kong Wen said: "It is our unshirkable responsibility to safeguard the dignity of our ancestors and resolutely say' no' to this bottomless entertainment."
Obviously, in the face of the split between freedom of religious belief and freedom of speech in the public sphere, it is even necessary to actively strive for it in order to gain the corresponding respect of religious and non-religious citizens and truly achieve harmonious coexistence.
When the joking Buddhist event "Fahai, you don't know love" happened, the Buddhist community once again faced the choice of protection laws in the new era. Some people put forward to focus on "showing righteousness": just be yourself, and joking about Buddhism will naturally decrease. On the other hand, more people think that we should focus on "exorcism": jesters have no respect for Buddhism and their ancestors, and Buddhist disciples have the responsibility to awaken them and curb their influence. The situation is imminent, and it is difficult to save the eggs. We should focus on breaking the evil spirit to deal with emergencies.
If we misread the courage and courage of "exorcism" as litigation and persistence, it will inevitably condone the clown's luck and make him more unscrupulous and unrepentant.
Bai said: "We now have the highest moral expectations in the world, but we have a moral bottom line that is constantly being broken. China's next most important thing is spiritual change. All decisions should be based on human nature. What is human nature? Human nature means that we are all the same, with good aspects and bad aspects. The key is to see whether things around us inhibit our evil or our good, not whether you are a bad person or I am a good person! "
Under the guidance of the principle of "protecting the law", we know that it is irresponsible to choose "laugh it off" or "let it go" to make fun of the present "reality" by grasping the emptiness of historical misunderstanding, which makes the parties fail to converge and reflect, confuses the public right and wrong and delays their studies. Such incidents will happen again and again, and it is impossible to "end here"!
Without reflection, there is no recovery of human nature; Without struggle, there will be no moral implementation;
Without vigilance, there will be no return of humanity; Without advocacy, there will be no humanistic care!
Any nation must have several sacred monuments and cannot be teased. Mr. Zhou said: "There are always some people whose desires are inviolable. I call this desecrated value sacred. "
For this sacredness, people of insight oppose banter. In fact, Buddha disciples have no requirements for themselves, and today they are only striving for the road. Fight for morality against trampling, fight for etiquette against embarrassment, fight for the bottom line against banter, fight for goodwill against ridicule! In the face of deliberately arranged ridicule and banter, against high-profile evil deeds, heaven, national law and human feelings are understandable. It is not only reasonable, but also expresses the common aspiration of the public. As far as Buddhist disciples are concerned, the elimination of evil at this time is great love-patriotism and love of teaching. Protecting the quintessence of Chinese culture means patriotism, while protecting awe means loving teaching!
Protecting the law and guiding the situation is not a rigid choice of "either good or evil, either you or me, or dead or alive", but an important concern for returning to human nature and restoring holiness.
The ancient motto of "protecting the law" has been interpreted by generations of Buddhist disciples in their respective times, forming the Great Wall of Protecting the Law from ancient times to the present. In 2000, the essence of Buddhism of the Chinese nation was handed down from generation to generation. The fearless spirit of "where I am, there is Buddhism" has been shocking the hearts of the four disciples throughout the ages, forming a warm stream of faith that permeates the heart-giving the soul sustenance, giving life and death hope, giving faith space and making life dignified!
We have ushered in an era of "protecting the law", a new era of saying "no" to all joking Buddhist behaviors!
Just kidding, protect the law!
I won't donate right and wrong until it's okay!
May all walks of life go hand in hand!
Example 1
Jealousy is the meanest thing.
Strangely, seven kinds of birds, from the beginning when sparrows talk about swallows to the end when goshawk evaluat
