Chapter 118
Chapter 118
Not only did Diana not need to do things, during the days of traveling in Tibet, her boyfriend was in a state of serious academic research, and the whole person was frantically digging into the matter of reincarnation, In a place like Tibet where the transportation is not very convenient, there are actually a lot of literature and materials, and they are still in English!
This kind of rapid progress almost made Diana almost lose her eyeballs. Tom's situation is too exaggerated. He didn't work so hard when he was in school, right?Could it really be that the blow was so great that the personality changed?
"I found that a friend of mine may have borrowed some theories about the reincarnation of living Buddhas in his own theory." To Diana's question, Tom replied in this way.
There is some bitterness in the mouth.
What is borrowing? Those are modified words. To put it bluntly, isn’t it plagiarism and stealing!
Obviously, compared with the living Buddha reincarnation mechanism that has been continuously improved for thousands of years, Hubbard's statement is really a bit untestable. It's fine if you don't meet the genuine version. It makes people unable to complain at all.
Is it really okay to copy other people's things without saying a word?
This is not a learning method that can be used immediately. Using reference materials without well-known sources of literature will be labeled as shameless in the academic world!
Tom's forehead twitched faintly, feeling very unpleasant.
Although he is a Scientologist, in a practical sense, Scientology is not his belief, but just a religion, and what he pursues is the doctrine of this sect.
No matter how naive and ignorant he was at the beginning, after so many years of baptism, he would not be so stupid as to accept all the theories of the sect and completely believe in them.But he still maintains great affection for the sect, because Hubbard is really a very creative person, and his unconstrained thoughts and wise theories undoubtedly made him admire the former leader.
But now it is suddenly discovered that the leader is actually plagiarizing other people's theories, so it doesn't feel so good. Will others not find out if he plagiarizes a distant Asian religion?This can't help but make Tom shake some of the teachings of this sect.
Really, to be honest, Scientology can only be regarded as a simplified and non-simplified version in front of Tibetan Buddhism, and it is still a simplified version of pirated version.So Mr. Cruise, who is still a very devout believer so far, is depressed, and this depression can be controlled to a certain extent, but the problem is that he has a girlfriend who doesn't want him to control this depression!
So after fixing the time of their Tibetan wedding, Diana decisively attacked again.
"Are you so interested in Tibetan Buddhism?" After taking a shower, Diana threw herself on the hard bed of the guest house and asked rolling over.
Ah, is this feeling the breath of the times that my parents said?Chick Morgan, who hadn't been born at this time in her previous life, wriggled on the hard plank bed and thought.
Enamel pots and enamel bowls, wooden beds and flowered quilts, and pitted walls, Diana felt the legendary atmosphere of the times, coupled with her recent experience, she was going to write a book called "Paradise" dust".
A book about vampires purifying their souls, slowly turning to ashes under the sun, so touching!
Uh, I don’t know how she came up with such a theme in Tibet. Why does it sound like the Internet more than 20 years later?
"Fortunately, some places are very interesting." Tom looked disappointed.
How does he tell his girlfriend that his religious beliefs seem to be a fake thing?Some time ago, I tried to recruit others into religion, but now I really don't have that face!
"You don't want to become a monk, do you?" Diana screamed in shock.
It seemed how surprised she really was.
Tom: "???"
"Forget it, monks can get married anyway, it doesn't matter." All of a sudden, Miss Morgan calmed down again.
Tom: "???"
"When can monks get married?" He couldn't help asking.
His girlfriend's bad cognition, why did he have such a magical idea?
"Isn't the monk at a villager's wedding we attended a few days ago just married? He came with his wife." Diana described what she saw very seriously.
It is not mentioned at all that Tantrism also has two distinctions between lay people and monks.
"No, most monks are not allowed to marry. The one you mentioned is an exception." Tom's forehead was twitching, and he didn't know how to describe those complicated-sounding nouns in English, especially in his hand. The information in this article has not yet touched on this aspect, and some knowledge is obtained by relying on the lovely part-time tour guide Li Wei.
He has studied this information for a period of time, and it is understandable with the previous teachings, but his girlfriend has no interest in this stuff at all, and since he found a local tour guide, he has not seen it every day. If I don’t come back at night, I know how to eat, drink, have fun and take photos every day. I can send out a package of international express almost every day, so that the local post office knows this busy international friend.
In this case, wouldn't it be ridiculous to expect her to know these things?
"I know, Buddhism that can marry is called Tantric Buddhism, which is the main belief in the area under our feet, and that that can't be married is called Zen Buddhism. It seems to be the sect of Buddhism whose believers account for the vast majority." Diana said in a way of caring for the mentally retarded. Childish eyes on boyfriend.
Tom: "..."
What do you know?Back to Tantric Zen, Tibetan Buddhism, have you figured it out before you go to study other things?
He felt a headache for this rather irresponsible statement about his girlfriend.
"Honey, don't talk like that after you go out, otherwise it will cause disputes." He stroked Diana's hair and said with a serious face.
It would be terrible if his demon girlfriend asked the monk who couldn't get married about his marriage. It was a matter of religious belief, so it was better to be cautious.
"Hehe." Grabbing her boyfriend's finger in one bite, Miss Morgan gritted her teeth vigorously.
Who am I doing this for?
Desperate to save her boyfriend from the overwhelming madness, Diana says she needs a couple of Tom Meow bites to soothe her wounded heart.
It was probably stimulated by her boyfriend, so in the next two days, Diana brought back a bunch of books for research, which shocked Tom a lot.
"Baby, you really don't have to be so serious." Seeing Diana, who was basically an atheist, looking at these books with a serious face, Tom felt cold sweat.
The consequence of this chick being so serious now is the prelude to his future torture!
"I'm just interested in Buddhism." Diana still had a serious face.
"And I found China's religious belief system very interesting, which is a very good subject. It is said that the story of a famous character has been adapted into various TV series, movies and animations, and has become a national idol. I decided to discuss this Go into in-depth research." She explained her cognition in a tone of researching academic theories.
Tom: "..."
I don't really understand your mentality of a top student, but can you let me go when you study these things?
Chick Morgan says no.
"So our next itinerary will be changed. The planned trip to Hangzhou will be cancelled, and we will go to Shaolin Temple!" Diana stretched out her hands, grabbed Tom Meow's cheek, and showed a smirk.
Tom, who was shocked by his girlfriend's brain circuit, felt dizzy for a while, no, wait, it was agreed that I was the one who studied religious teachings?What are you doing for fun?
Unfortunately, he eventually went to the legendary Shaolin Temple with him.
No way, who told him that the more he researched, the more he would know?Reincarnation and reincarnation are just the tip of the iceberg in Buddhism, and there are also things like accumulating virtue and doing good deeds to strive for reincarnation in the next life.If the characters could be comical, then Tom's eyes would probably have turned into mosquito coils, and the research books on sects that couldn't fit in a library made him look like a poor little guy who was about to drown in the ocean.Compared with Hubbard, who only had so few books and copied them from other religions, Buddhism, a religion he had only heard of before but never understood, had thoroughly aroused his interest.
So after leaving Tibet, the two rushed directly to Mount Song.
As for why it is Songshan, this is the credit of classmate Li Wei. Hearing that the next plan of the two is Shaolin Temple, he is obliged to introduce an eminent monk.He speaks English very fluently. He is almost 90 years old and his teeth are about to fall out.
It is said that it was once a feudal poison, and was taken care of by his father during a special period, and they have been on good terms ever since.
Tom, who studies Buddhism and is about to go crazy, stayed here for almost a month and had in-depth exchanges with him on Buddhist issues every day. It is expected that he will be able to publish a book "Those Days When I Talked to the Monk in Shaolin Talking about Buddhism in Shaolin" after returning to the United States. .
It made Diana black lines again and again, and she didn't know whether it was good or bad to go from one extreme to another.
However, after communicating with the eminent monk alone and donating a sum of sesame oil money to Shaolin Temple, Diana put this matter aside and went to buy a bunch of religious books to be mailed back to the United States, so that her family My boyfriend continued to bathe in my Buddha's mercy.
However, Shaolin Temple is not the end of their journey.
Although Tom was still obsessed with Buddhism, he followed his girlfriend to leave this charming temple and went to another scenic spot, Yingtan Longhu Mountain!
The author has something to say:
