Being a monk will only make you more and more confused and confused, and you will be immersed in your own fantasies without realizing it. No problem can be solved by escaping. Have you ever heard of the story about being a monk and being a monk? What you have to do now is not to cover your ears, but to overcome obstacles through your own efforts and become your own bell. Don’t forget that you still have many obligations~

True faith must lead believers to do their best to benefit mankind, and guide people to be proactive in science, human civilization, and social order. However, some beliefs will only require people to practice behind closed doors, isolate themselves from the world, not even touch meat, confuse people with animals, be negative and world-weary, and will completely eliminate your enthusiasm~

If we believe that everything is caused by causes and conditions, science will never have a beginning, and people will not be enterprising. Will those who believe in karma establish the rule of law to safeguard fairness and punish evil? ?No wonder the independents like it, a typical Yumin tool. .

When Buddhism was first introduced to China, it was based on the thoughts of Lao and Zhuang. This method of righteous Buddhism seems to be no problem for ordinary people, but it is not that simple for Confucian people. Confucianism emphasizes filial piety, and Chinese families attach great importance to filial piety. "Filial piety" has almost become a religious doctrine in China. The Filial Piety Sutra says: "The body, hair and skin are received by parents and dare not be damaged, which is the beginning of filial piety. Establishing oneself and practicing morality, becoming famous in future generations, and showing off one's parents are the end of filial piety. A husband's filial piety begins with serving relatives, ends with serving the king, and finally establishes one's character... A filial son's duty to his relatives is to respect them when they live there, to bring them happiness when they are raised, to worry about them when they are sick, to mourn them when they are mourning them, and to offer sacrifices to them." The three major ideas of filial piety can be summarized as follows: (1) Parents. When alive, one should fulfill one's duties, be kind and cheerful, respect, love and obey; after one's death, one should mourn and observe filial piety, and be cautious about the future (2). The body, hair and skin are inherited from parents, and dare not harm them. Marry carefully, carry on the family line, prosper the clan, and pass down the genealogy (3), and be close to each other To harmonize the clan, respect the elders and support the young, do good deeds to others, and show relatives and reputations. However, once the Chinese became monks and nuns, they completely destroyed these three principles.

When Buddhism reached the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it began to break away from the rules. After Buddhism entered the stage of righteousness and became unique, established its own school, and recruited many people to become monks and nuns, Buddhism received fierce attacks and criticisms from Confucianism, especially in terms of "filial piety", because Buddhism is extremely anti-filial: (1) Monks and nuns shave Losing hair will harm parents (2). Monks and nuns can no longer honor and support their parents after becoming monks (3). Monks and nuns do not get married, and have no descendants, and have no genealogy. (4) Monks and nuns have severed ties with their original relatives, and cannot respect their elders, support their young, or show their relatives and reputations. . In order to survive and protect itself, Buddhism has written books one after another to justify itself, emphasizing that only by persuading parents to believe in Buddhism and reciting sutras for their deceased parents can they be considered true filial piety; as for material offerings, this is not true filial piety. Probably during the Southern and Northern Dynasties (?), Chinese Buddhists did not hesitate to compromise with the Chinese idea of ??filial piety, and successively forged classics such as the "Ullambana Sutra", "Parents' Kindness Is Hard to Repay", and "The Sutra of Filial Sons", emphasizing persuasion to believe in Buddhism. Only a filial son is considered a filial son. It doesn't matter whether he provides material or spiritual support. If he pays too much attention to material things, he is unfilial. According to the definition of filial piety in "It is difficult to repay parents' kindness", then those Confucian believers who do not believe in Buddhism have become "extremely unfilial". This Buddhist trick is really powerful! Not only did it silence Confucianism, but it also untied the dead knot of "filial piety" for itself, and it seemed that the arrogance had become "justifiable". Buddhism talks about filial piety, and it talks about filial piety even more than Confucianism! At this point, Buddhism also started shouting: Doesn’t Buddhism also talk about filial piety? And it is more thorough than Confucian filial piety!

"Ullambana Sutra", Sanskrit name ULLABANA SUTRA, the content is about Sakyamuni's disciple Maudgalyayana who saw his dead mother suffering in the realm of hungry ghosts. He asked Sakyamuni how to save his dead mother. Sakyamuni said that as long as he invites Buddhist monks to chant sutras for his deceased mother on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month and feed the monks with various delicacies, her deceased mother will be saved from suffering.

It is recorded in the sutra that Mulayana acted according to this, and his deceased mother was freed from suffering. The sutra says: "The Buddha told Mulian that all the monks in the ten directions, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when the monks indulge themselves, they should be in trouble for their parents in the seventh life, and for their parents now. The middle one is equipped with rice, various flavors and five kinds of fruits, a basin for drinking and watering, sesame oil, ingots and candles. It is shaped like a bedding and is extremely sweet. It is placed in the basin and offered to eminent monks of great virtues in the ten directions... There are those who support such self-indulgent monks, including their parents and relatives in this world. , get rid of the suffering of the three paths, and be relieved at the right time..." The conclusion says: "On the fifteenth day of the seventh month every year, always remember your parents with filial piety and kindness, make bon orchids, and give to the Buddha and the Sangha, in order to repay your parents for their care and kindness. Well..." Buddhist teachings talk about "karma" and "karma." If living people can only pay monks and nuns to recite sutras for their dead parents, and they can immediately get rid of the suffering of reincarnation, then China Buddhism is overthrowing Sakyamuni. Furthermore, to make offerings to Buddha and monks with "unparalleled sweetness" is not to be filial to parents, but to be "filial to monks." Needless to say, the main reason is this so-called "Ullambana" "Sutra" saved the life of Chinese Buddhism. Probably since the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese people have practiced the Bon Festival more widely, and all the people have become "filial sons". Buddhists and monks have also gained financial resources from this (they need to pay monks and nuns). Both parties Everyone is happy!

But Buddhists who have a little bit of thought will definitely have doubts about "Mu Lian saving his mother". Buddhist Xie Biyu wrote to Li Bingnan, editor-in-chief of Bodhi Tree Monthly, and asked: "Buddhism says that all living beings follow their karma. No one can stop reincarnation (no one, including the Buddha). If he has heavy karma, chants Amitabha, holds a kitchen knife in his hand and does not practice self-cultivation, the Buddha cannot save him. But why can the mother of Maudgalyana be saved? Heavy and fallen into hell, Maudgalyana was so eager to save his mother that he relied on the merits and vows of the Buddhas to save her and go to heaven. How could she not be reincarnated according to her karma? If this is possible, why don't we work together to save all the poor sentient beings in the world to the West? Mulian's mother is an example, of course we can do it, right?" Another example is the Buddhist Zhang Gong who asked: "Since the law of cause and effect is self-inflicted, why should we save it? Can the deceased's karmic responsibilities be reduced or reborn? What is the reason for the "influence" of Guoer's salvation on others? "

Of course, after the children become monks or nuns, they will never be able to do so again. Make money to honor and support your parents. If your parents are unable to survive, they will have to starve to death. But in order to defend itself, Buddhism actually uses strong arguments, saying that as long as you write sutras for your parents, chant sutras, pray for salvation, and invite monks to eat and drink (make offerings to the Three Jewels)... you will become a "filial son."

Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that it is extremely absurd...

Again, people must be self-reliant in order to gain the respect of others. If you look down on yourself now, how can you expect others to look down on you? I'm still thinking about becoming a monk...is there anything I can do? People who want to do it are always looking for ways, and people who don’t want to do it are always looking for reasons.
