Chapter 1408 Amitabha

It is increasingly difficult for indigenous religions to attract young people. Although almost the vast majority of young people will follow their relatives and friends to Buddhist temples and Taoist temples to pray for blessings. But how many of them actually have faith? That would be a big question mark.

So attracting young people is a very important part of spreading faith today.

And at this point, Xu Canghai felt more and more that the local Taoism and Buddhism were really not good enough and lacked enough [aggressiveness].

Although there are also missionaries, but most of the time they are waiting for believers to come to their door.

Now that the country has issued a task, Buddhism and Taoism are required to stick to the territory of local religious beliefs and not be lost to foreign religions. This is a death order, and the country's funding and resources have come down.

Along with it comes accountability.

This is a battlefield of faith without gunpowder, and it will be a protracted battle. Xu Canghai has already been troubled by the possibility of a cult in his jurisdiction.

This exam wants to recruit two talents, and now I finally have my eye on one, but what the hell is this guy writing!

The answers to the basic Taoist scriptures are simply irrelevant. This is because I have never studied any Taoist classics!

Fortunately, the logic questions, thinking questions and other questions were answered neatly. But there are too many mistakes in the previous Daojing questions, and this written test will be rejected. Couldn't make it through the interview process.

Looking at Huang Zeying's unrestrained and handsome face again, Xu Canghai settled down, this kid must be taken down!

The old Taoist walked quickly towards a room at the back of the examination room.

……………………

If a person who has never read a Taoist classic or read a single Buddhist scripture takes the Buddhist and Taoist exam, what is his probability of passing?

zero.

Basically, the Buddhist and Taoist exams will not recruit an outsider who has no foundation at all.

Don't Niu Ben and Huang Zeying know this?

On the contrary, these two people have already become monkeys and monkeys now. They knew that it was impossible for the two of them to really pass the Buddhist and Taoist exam, not to mention the interview. You can't pass the first round of written test alone.

But the posture of the two is to be done. Because only by showing their posture can they get rid of Dahei's despotic power.

Niu Ben doesn't understand Buddhist teachings, and Huang Zeying doesn't understand Taoist classics. These two people are blind to these, and write casually.

In the written test, these questions accounted for 60% of the marks. The remaining 40 percent are logical questions and moral questions.

This score ratio, if you don't understand the classics, you can only pass the exam.

The exam lasted two hours. Huang Zeying and Niu Ben finished all the questions in a leisurely manner, and then went back and forth to check them twice.

After all, it's a complete set of acting, otherwise it will be boring if it is exposed.

It wasn't until the end of the exam that everyone left the exam room, and the two of them returned to the hotel where they rested before talking on the phone.

Huang Zeying: "Little calf, how did you do in the exam?"

Niu Ben: "Hey, don't mention it! Buddhist exams are so difficult! There are Sanskrit translations, Buddhist scriptures with explanations, and Chinese transliteration of Buddhist scriptures translated into free translation exam questions. Buddhist scriptures cannot answer these questions at all.”

"Xiao Huang, how did you do in the exam?"

Huang Zeying replied: "That's it. Although Taoism is a native sect, I know Tao Te Ching and even read it. But explaining Taoist classics is too difficult!"

"I think the questions in it can be used as exam questions for masters or even doctors in the philosophy department. They are all metaphysical philosophical questions. I can't answer them at all. Then rely on some Taoism I read from online novels Knowledge, I don’t know whether it’s right or wrong, anyway, I fill up the test papers randomly.”

The two were exchanging information, and they both felt that it was unlikely that they would be admitted.

They were mainly posturing to convince Dahei that they really didn't have any intentions for Cheng Yao anymore. The key is to deal with Dahei first, and let him not let the two of them fit together.

But can things really develop in the direction they expected?

The Mount Wutai test site was originally supposed to be a fair, just and open place for marking the examination papers for the Buddhist Enrollment Examination. More than a dozen monks in monk's robes are reading papers.

And one of them was sent to Master Huaikong, the chief examiner who presided over the exam.

"Master, this is Niu Ben's exam paper."

Huaikong nodded and began to read the papers. And his two juniors gathered together and began to read the test paper written by Niu Ben.

Question: Before all the scriptures, what word meaning should be the beginning of the scriptures?

Answer: The Great Sun Tathagata Heart Sutra.

Question 2: Who are the three Buddhas in the past, present and future?

Answer: Tathagata, Tathagata, Tathagata.

Question 3: From which Buddhist scriptures should ordinary people start to read.

Answer: The Langa Sutra.

"Zhu Niu Ben's answer really does not answer the question. The scriptures should be headed by [Thus I Hear]. The past, present and future three Buddhas are the past Burning Buddha, the present Buddha Tathagata, and the future Maitreya Buddha. The last question should be The Shurangama Sutra, not the Shurangama Sutra."

Wynn looked at Niu Ben's answer and shook his head.

He didn't know that it would not be easy to search out the title of the Langa Sutra from all of Niu Ben's Buddhist knowledge. This is because in "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji", the original version of the Nine Suns Scripture is hidden in the Langa Sutra, so Niu Ben remembered it.

Compared with Wynn's dissatisfaction, Huaikong said with a smile: "this son has a heart in answering the question, which is very kind. I will let him pass today."

After all, Wynn entered Niu Ben's name into the review list with a swipe of his pen.

Wynn and Bad Ci looked at each other, and then whispered the Buddha's name: "Amitabha."

And the same scene was also staged in the test center of Zhongnan Mountain, Xu Canghai used the same method as Master Huaikong. All the test papers were graded by Taoist priests of Quanzhen Temple. Xu Canghai asked for the test paper and said that he would mark it himself.

After the modification, the score is directly entered. This was originally against the rules, because the marking of this kind of test should be done by three people together.

But Xu Canghai is the master of the Quanzhen Temple. There are more than 100 registered Taoist priests in the Quanzhen Temple, and more than 400 non-registered monks are all under Xu Canghai's management.

Xu Canghai said that this person has passed, then he has passed. If he can't say it, then he can't.

Originally, Xu Canghai and Master Huaikong's status should not help people to go through the back door. But there is no way, there is a shortage of talents! Now we can only open the door of convenience.

It will take a day to review all the more than a thousand test papers, including statistics and so on. Therefore, the list will be released on the third day after the test, and those who have passed the first round of written test will be notified that they can participate in the second round of interviews.

On the day before the interview, Dahei found Niu Ben who was meditating and studying Buddhist scriptures in the hotel in Mount Wutai.

"What are you doing kid?!"

"Dahei benefactor, I take the decision to become a monk, and everything in the world is illusory, Amitabha."
