Because Gun and Yu were too hard to control the flood, they wanted to make it easier.

As a result, I saw someone who wanted to see me talking about myths, Buddhism and Taoism.

I was drunk. This topic is too big. I can say more than 10,000 words for Chang'e flying to the moon. I wrote 20,000 words for Gun and Yu to control the flood. I also started a new chapter and introduced Yu's character in advance.

Talk about Buddhism?

OK, let’s talk about Buddha first.

null.

After finishing the talk, then preach.

nature.

OK, it's done.

Buddha and Tao are that simple.

If you have to dig deeper, it is not about Buddhism and Taoism, but about "Buddhism" and "Taoism".

These are two things, you must distinguish them clearly.

Even if you talk about Buddhism and Taoism, it is impossible to talk about it separately. Hundreds of thousands of words are not enough.

To be precise, Buddhism should be the Buddhist school. All Buddhist priests and even the cultures related to Buddhism can be called the Buddhist school.

The same is true for Taoism. For expounding Taoist culture, researchers of Taoist culture history, practitioners of Taoist principles, and practitioners of Taoist theory, they can all be called Taoism.

Both Buddhists and Taoism include religion, not only religion.

You must clearly distinguish the differences between Taoism, Taoism and Taoism.

Here I can only briefly talk about the beliefs of the Chinese. Buddhism was introduced in the Han Dynasty. Although its influence became greater and greater, it was not the beliefs of the Chinese.

Some people say that Chinese people have no faith, which is wrong. Chinese people just can have no religious beliefs.

Because Zhuanxu's heavenly connection was established, a human-centered thought was imprinted into his bones. The relationship between people is much more important than the relationship between people and gods.

Therefore, the Chinese believe in it very realistically. We have so many gods and immortals, but there has never been a main god covering the entire nation.

Whether it is Haotian or Taiyi, it is not counted. Whether it is the Three Emperors or the Five Emperors, they are trusted and worshipped by ancestors.

All of them say that the Chinese do not believe in God, but believe in ancestors.

This is right, not right.

Ultimately, this is still the appearance of human-centered thought. Because we value people, we regard people as God.

What is hidden behind this is actually another belief, that is, Tao.

From ancient times to the present, we have believed that it is actually Tao. Whether it is the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Haotian Taiyi, or the gods and Buddhas of the heavens, people accept them because they embody the one-sidedness of Tao.

This is not called faith, it is called acceptance.

The essential difference between us and the West is here. Westerners always say that we have no faith because we can accept various gods.

This is also the reason why we can tolerate all kinds of religions, because we can accept... Gods with 'reason'.

Do you understand? We are a rational nation.

Everyone shut up, always mentioning the meaning of "reason", but not knowing the meaning.

Because we really believe in Tao too much, and we have been integrated into the soul, bones, and blood. Our belief in Tao is deeply rooted. Since ancient times, it has been passed down from generation to generation, so that... we have forgotten that we have faith and we believe in Tao.

"Why are you a person who is not reasonable?", "Personal, we should do this.", "I have reason, what am I afraid of?", "This thing has no reason!"

All these spoken languages ​​that we have become accustomed to are because we believe in the Tao without knowing it, subtly and without knowing the true face of Mount Lu.

Some Buddhist practitioners in our country, if you ask them what they believe in, they will definitely say that I believe in Buddhism.

If you ask him why, he will say that Buddha is like this.

Behind this, the hidden beliefs he himself didn't know were actually because of Buddhism's propositions, which made a lot of sense.

He believed in this truth, not this Buddha.

However, Western religions are different. Those who believe in Allah can give everything to the Lord. No matter whether the things they want them to do have any reason or not, they will do it, because God is the principle of all things. God thinks this makes sense, and it makes sense.

‘What God said’, this condition is the truth of this matter. Therefore, those who truly believe in God do not need to think about whether it has a reason or not, just do it.

So, after corresponding, we found that we also have faith.

It’s just that belief is called ‘Lord’ by the Westerners, and we call ‘Tao’.

The master of Westerners has a specific personality image.

Our Tao has no specific personality image.

They obey the Lord's words, and we obey the truth of the Word.

Their Lord has a specific personality image, so the one who hears is called an oracle. Our Word does not have a specific image, so the one who speaks is called truth.

Our beliefs have no specific image, so the interpretation of the Tao and the explanation of the Tao will form gods in all dynasties.

You can understand that we believe in the principles of nature and the principles of nature.

It is a kind of thing that encompasses everything and is its appearance.

I did not create a god, he just described Tao and gave Tao a name... I don't know its name, so I strongly said: Tao.

Before Lao Tzu, Tao existed and people had already started to believe it. Lao Tzu did not invent it, but just gave it a name and summarized it.

The reason why we believe in the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors is because the actions of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are in line with the Tao.

The reason for worshiping Dayu is that what Dayu did is in line with the invisible way in people's hearts.

It was because everyone collectively believed that he was the practitioner of Tao that Dayu became a god.

The reason for worshiping Guan Yu is that what he does is in line with the invisible way in people's hearts.

This is the reason why we have so many gods and they are all humans.

It is everyone who collectively creates gods, and everyone who agrees invisibly and without texture: "The human heart is the destiny of heaven."

Therefore, what conforms to everyone's hearts is what conforms to the Tao, at least in a certain aspect.

And in a certain aspect that conforms to the Tao, he is God.

Therefore, in every era, we are constantly creating God, and God is extremely cheap, because God is just a practitioner of the Way and an angel of the Way.

This is essentially the same as the West is constantly creating new angels and incorporating the gods of the conquered nations into the angel system or the demon system.

There is only one God, but there are many angels.

And we have only one Tao, and many Gods...

So, we really have faith, and we are actually a "monotheistic religion".

But this "Shen" is too vague and vague, and the strong word is said: Tao.

"Hey? You Buddha makes a lot of sense. I accept it. I recognize you as an angel of Tao." So this person entered Buddhism.

In fact, is he really a Buddhist believer? If he can betray everything the country, nation, and society have given him for the sake of Buddha, then he really believes in Buddhism.

On the contrary, he betrayed the Buddha. Then he believed in the Tao, because the Buddha asked him to betray those benefits, and he felt that it was "unreasonable"!

If there is no reason, just question it, this person will turn around and betray the Buddha.

So is he a believer in Buddha or Tao?

A Chinese betrayed Buddha and God for the sake of profit, and was scolded as ungodly.

But in fact, this is devotion to the Tao.

He has become pious and integrates into the depths of his soul without knowing it. He feels that Buddha and God have no reason, so he betrays it. It's just that.

I don't know when this idea appeared.

I only know that the first person who can spread this idea to everyone is the Black Emperor Zhuanxu.

So I highly praised him, Zhuanxu was the first preacher.

He laid the foundation for this humanistic thought rooted in the depths of the nation.

To extract this essence, if you don’t understand it, then I can only translate the Western beliefs.

In fact, we have translated it wrongly. Western God should not be translated as God. In the eyes of Western believers, it is equivalent to our Word.

It’s just that this Tao has thoughts and subjective behavior. In our Chinese people’s hearts, it instinctively believes that it is just one-sided of Tao. However, this one-sided seems a bit too awesome, so we translate it as God, which corresponds to our equally awesome God of Haotian.

All angels, all saints, and all those who pursue the invisible principles of God and contribute to civilization should be translated as God.

If we had translated Western religions like this back then.

We will suddenly realize that, oh, we also have the "universal religion", we believe in it.

Tao is the destiny of heaven, Tao is the heart of mankind. It has never fallen into a specific image, it has never been demoted to God, so we all forgot.

But I have not forgotten that Tao has only integrated into the depths of our nation's souls, and we have become part of Tao.

Huangdi walked on behalf of the heaven, tolerated the clans, and governed the world with gods. This is the way of heaven.

Zhuanxu was connected by heaven, and man and god were separated, and man ruled the world with man, which was the way of humanity.
