This is a story about a man who once had Bodhi aspirations. A tree, with lush branches and leaves, stands there quietly. The wind moves, and the wind stops. This is a Bodhi tree. This is a person, frowning and thinking, standing still, silently sitting under the tree. The rain is coming, the rain is gone. This is an ascetic.
For seven days and seven nights, people looked at the trees, and the trees shaded them. The man finally got up: "In the world of life, everything is suffering, pure suffering and no happiness, and all beings are ignorant and take suffering as pleasure. After realizing this truth, he is no longer the prince of the past, nor is he a fruitless ascetic, and from then on, the world respects him as Shakyamuni.
There is no clear historical conclusion as to when Buddhism was introduced to China, but there are clear records that Buddhism was practiced in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, nearly 200 years before the official birth of Taoism. After experiencing four times of "exterminating the Buddha", Buddhism in the early stage of China's bumpy development can be regarded as a firm foothold, and by the time of Wu Zhou Zun Buddha, the development of Buddhism has entered a prosperous stage. In the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Quanzhen Taoist sect insisted on refusing to cooperate with Zheng, and was attacked and defeated by the Buddhist sects in various places, and Buddhism became the first major religion in ancient China. To this day, Buddhism still has many followers in China.
Since the two living Buddhas of the "** Panchen" were officially canonized by the Qing court, before the liberation, the local situation of the integration of politics and religion has been deeply rooted. Power corrupts people, even in the Buddhist temples in the Central Plains, there has been a way of collecting money in the form of usury such as "endless hiding", not to mention the ** at that time. It was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that the people of the first region were liberated from the slavery and rule of religion, and after the correct transformation of socialism, Buddhism, which retained the advantages of guiding people to goodness, began to develop healthily.
It's just that before the new ** was not developed, Tibetan Buddhism's teachings and actions were still relatively mysterious to most people, so there were people who wanted to take advantage of loopholes and use this mystery to control the ignorance in people's hearts in order to achieve their own dirty goals. Wang Xingfu moved this crooked thought.
He was originally a public official in a prison in Jinan, Shandong, but he was not satisfied with his dead salary, and began to ignore his conscience, disregard the laws and regulations of the party and the state, and build himself into a "reincarnated living Buddha", and levied and extorted money everywhere. From "Qigong Master" to "Living Buddha" Before using the identity of "Living Buddha", Wang Xingfu was still a "Qigong master", opening a museum to teach and accepting apprentices to make money, so he couldn't take care of his original prison work and was expelled by the leadership. Wang Xingfu didn't care about this at all, after all, the money that the "qigong master" could earn was not comparable to the "iron rice bowl". But after the state cracked down on a group of fake qigong masters, he had to think of a new way out, Tibetan Buddhism, which came into his eyes. He deceives people.
The greatest skill that the qigong master has learned over the years has even deceived the "true living Buddha" Gong Zhi at that time.
Gong Zhi, as an enlightened monk who practiced in Ganzi, Sichuan, was quite famous in the local area, and Wang Xingfu fell in love with him. Gong Zhi, who originally did not agree to accept the apprentices, was very fond of this person with "Buddha nature" under Wang Xingfu's cozy attitude and extreme welcome, so he took him into his door, and soon after, Gong Zhi died of illness, and the power was handed over to his ** Lu Rong.
For this flattering junior brother, Lu Rong looked down on him at first, but when he found out that this junior brother he despised could take out a lot of money to support the temple, especially for himself, Lu Rong began his "** journey." Help him forge Tibetan identity cards and hold the inheritance ceremony of the "living Buddha". In this way, Lu Rong, who helped Wang Xingfu pave all the roads, completely became a raccoon dog with Wang Xingfu, and a generation of masters became masters of money worship.
In that era of underdeveloped information, a computer processed with a color ** on the aperture caused many people to go crazy, calling the living Buddha alive, coupled with a series of behaviors such as Lu Rong's secret momentum and using money to eliminate negative comments, Wang Xingfu's "living Buddha" identity is solid. Wang Xingfu, whose preliminary work had been perfected, once again began his road of fraud.
Wang Xingfu, who won the support of a large number of believers, began to write books and teach, and with the blessing of the name of "Living Buddha", many people did not hesitate to buy his classes at the expense of their families in order to achieve positive results, and in more than ten years, Wang Xingfu's worth soared to 20 billion. The situation of cash on the walls and in the refrigerator in "The People's Righteousness" can only be a small drop in the bucket for him, and Wang Xingfu's eleven properties are full of cash and gold bars. In addition to using various excuses to let himself break the meat and alcohol vows, he also killed many female believers in the name of double cultivation and blessings, and even fell in love with the female relatives of some believers, and they would also forcibly commit violence, and many innocent women were mentally weakened, depressed, and even committed suicide.
The increase in believers has attracted the attention of **, and under the investigation, such a **hateful act was finally discovered, and in the face of such a sinner, ** acted resolutely, and immediately arrested him and convicted him. In the face of obstruction and even threats from some radical believers, the public security organs did not tolerate it, and in the end, Wang Xingfu was sentenced to 25 years in prison and fined several fines under the combined punishment for several crimes. Wang Xingfu, who was "sincerely repentant" under the camera, did not arouse the sympathy of the world, only countless scoldings, perhaps when Shakyamuni founded Buddhism, he did not expect that there would be such a brazen person in later generations.
Life is impermanent, there will be joy and happiness, there will be joy and sorrow, many people will pin their hopes on religion when they face some ups and downs, God O, the choice is their own, others have no right or responsibility to intervene, but remember not to be used by people with intentions, and cause irreparable consequences. Buddhism said: "Great compassion has no tears, great enlightenment has no words, and laughter is silent." The Taoist says, "He who sees himself does not know, and he who knows himself does not show it."Those who cut themselves are useless, and those who are self-conscious are not long. Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself, see the subtleties, and know that you are happy. Right and wrong, good and evil are related to one's own body, and oneself is one's own God and one's own way.
This article tells the story of a man who was once obsessed with the ambition of Bodhi, but eventually fell into the abyss of fraud and sin. This story makes one think about how to avoid being exploited by criminals for those who seek religious beliefs or spiritual solace.
The article depicts Wang Xingfu's process from a qigong master to a living Buddha disguised, and his deception methods are endless, which makes people sigh. This kind of fraud that exploits religious belief is not only contrary to the essence of faith, but also a betrayal of believers. This has led to an urgent need for religious self-regulation and regulation to protect believers from such undesirable elements.
On the other hand, the article also reflects the complex attitudes of society towards religion. Although Buddhism has deep traditional and philosophical connotations, in the eyes of some, religion still has mystical and unknowable overtones. It is precisely on the basis of this sense of mystery that Wang Xingfu was able to abuse his identity as a "living Buddha" to deceive the trust and wealth of believers. It also reminds us that in the era of underdeveloped information, people are more susceptible to disinformation and **, and need to look at religion and belief more rationally.
At the same time, the article affirmed the timely exposure and termination of Wang Xingfu's fraud. This shows that the role of the legal system is crucial, and that there needs to be an authority to regulate and maintain the normal order of society, whether in the field of religion or in other fields. This also reminds us that while choosing our faith, we must remain rational and vigilant, and not be deceived by some lawbreakers.
Finally, the story is a call for understanding and respect for religion in society. Religion is a way for many people to find spiritual sustenance and solace, and should be treated equally in society. At the same time, however, it is also necessary to be vigilant against some illegal activities that abuse the name of religion in order to ensure social fairness and justice.
Overall, the essay provokes a deep reflection on faith, fraud, and social regulation through a thought-provoking story. This is particularly important in the context of pluralism of beliefs and information in the current society.
