Chapter 4 Chapter 1 Homeless Youth 2. Wandering Monk

Huangjue Temple, originally called Yuhuang Temple, is located on the hillside at the southwest corner of Guzhuang Village.The scale of this temple is quite large. As soon as you enter the mountain gate, there are four big Vajras lined up on both sides, with glaring eyebrows. Maitreya Buddha with a big belly sits in the middle with a smile on his face. Behind him is Wei Tuo Bodhisattva, who is a protector of the Dharma.The second time you enter the Daxiong Hall, sit the Tathagata Buddha, flanked by eighteen arhats.Entering the meditation hall three times, the left side is the Jialan Hall, and the right side is the Patriarch Hall.It has not been repaired for many years, the paint on the throne of the Buddha and Bodhisattva has peeled off, the golden body of the Buddha statue is covered with a thick layer of dust, the tiles of the temple are covered with scorched weeds, and the stone slabs paved in the yard are already rough, showing a decayed look.There are ten or twenty monks who usually live by renting rice from the permanent land, plus recite the mantra for the dead in their hometown, do Buddhist work, and get a little credit. They neither cultivate the land nor do business, but their lives are similar to those of landlords.Although you can't eat big fish and meat, it is more comfortable than working as a rough worker and working as a tenant.It turned out that at that time becoming a monk was also a profession. Some people were very superstitious, thinking that becoming a monk could really become a Buddha and become a ancestor. There were very few such people; People murdered and set fire, afraid of being punished by the government, shaved their heads and put on cassocks, and the king's law would not cure them; more of them were sent by poor families who could not support their children.The monks eat ten squares, and the alms of good men and women can't be eaten up. They use it to open pawnshops and put usury.Moreover, the elders in the monastery had to be waited upon, the Buddhist hall had to be cleaned frequently, and there were quite a lot of odd jobs. It was better to have an extra boy than to hire a long-term laborer.Zhu Yuanzhang was young and strong, and it was time to use his strength. Elder Gao Bin discussed with the abbot De Zhu, and it was a good deal, so he took him in【01】.

Yuanzhang was playful and wild since he was a child. He loved to give ideas and send people around.It's the youngest son again, and his parents, elder brother and sister-in-law dote on him a little bit.In addition, he is a bit smart, can think, sees things more accurately than others, and comes quickly. When he makes up his mind to do something, he must do it, and he does it nine times out of ten. His partners obey him and listen to him.But once we arrived at Huangjue Temple, the situation was completely different. Not to mention that there were a lot of uncles, uncles, masters, brothers, and teachers, wives, and brothers. It turned out that Elder Gao Bin had a family [02], and all of them were elders. If he is the master, he is small and cheap, he has to keep a low voice and serve him with a smile all day long.Even the long-term worker who fetches water and cooks is still a head taller than Xiao Xingtong, and he is the second in command, ordering him to do this and that.In this way, Yuanzhang was not only a servant of Elder Gao Bin's family, but also a handyman for the monks of the whole temple.There are many things, and there will be more idleness. The days are long, and I am full of grievances. I am about to explode at any time, but I press it hard, because it is important to eat, and there is nowhere to go when I break up.

It can't attack living people, and there is nowhere to get out of the gas, so it has to attack the mud bodhisattva.One day, I was tired from sweeping the Buddha Hall, and when I arrived at the Garan Hall, I was already full of anger. I accidentally tripped over the stone seat of the God of Garan, fell down, and was so angry that I beat him hard with a broom. God Jialan gave a meal.Another day, the big red candles offered in the main hall were eaten by mice, and the elders told Yuanzhang a meal.Yuanzhang thought that the God of Galan was in charge of the palace, and that the housekeeper Bodhisattva ignored the rats, but caused Xingtong to be scolded, new and old grudges, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he asked his senior brother for a pen to write a distribution on the back of God Galan For three thousand miles, the bodhisattva was punished to be sent to the army three thousand miles away.Both of these things were seen by the elders, because Zhu Yuanzhang was a handyman who didn't get paid, even though he was mischievous, he was sent away, and he was in need of someone to help him, so he didn't speak. 【03】

Huangjue Temple lived by collecting rent. This year, the disaster was too severe, and the rent was not received. Master and uncle went to the tenants’ houses in shifts to demand, quarrel, and intimidate them. , still doesn't work.Seeing that the stored food could not last for many days, it would cost a lot of food, so the master gave an idea to send the monk who placed the order to walk first, and then the uncles, uncles and brothers also went out for a wandering.Zhu Yuanzhang had only been a child for fifty days, and the last one was sent out.I have no choice but to pretend to be a monk, even though I don’t know how to chant scriptures or do Buddhist things, with a broken hat, a wooden fish, and a clay bowl, and a small burden on my back. left home.

Said Yunyou Youfang is the words of the monks, also called alms.In the words of the society, it is beggars, that is, begging, begging for food, asking for money, rice, and food from wealthy households.Most of the rich families keep a vicious dog to guard the gate. The dog has the virtue of a dog, and it only bites the poor in ragged clothes.In order to prevent the dog from biting him, the wandering monk knocked on the wooden fish and chanted the Buddha's name while staying far away from the gate of the big family's house.The owner of a big family is also like a dog, who only makes money for the poor, but there is one difference from a dog, that is, he knows that he has done too many bad things, and he is afraid that he will go to hell after death. Have a kind heart, cultivate the afterlife, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless you.I also hope to have more children, get richer, and enjoy life after life, not only to be a landlord in this life, but also to be a landlord in the next life.To get the blessing of the Bodhisattva, you have to be polite to the monks, and give away a star of the blood and sweat squeezed from the tenants as a gift, which is regarded as a bribe to the Bodhisattva.In this way, as long as they hear the sound of the wooden fish, they will know that it is time to do good deeds and cultivate the next life.A spoonful of rice, a few pennies, no hesitation.Once the big family is polite to the monk, the dog will also be generous.If the big family doesn't come out, as long as you have patience, knock the wooden fish louder and shout the Buddha's name louder, sooner or later someone will come out to dismiss them.

Although Yuanzhang only lived in the Monk Temple for dozens of days, he heard and saw the same thing all day long, and he will not know it anymore.Since he had to go out to beg for food, he had to discuss with someone about where to go. He heard that the south and west areas were better off. Anyway, as long as he could beg for food and survive, he would go anywhere.There are no set days, you can walk as long as you like, and go as far as you want.Just go south, first to Hefei (now Hefei, Anhui), turn west, to Gushi (now Henan Gushi), Xinyang (now Henan Xinyang), and then north to Ruzhou (now Henan Linru), Chen State (now Huaiyang, Henan), east through Luyi (now Luyi, Henan), Bozhou (now Bo County, Anhui), to Yingzhou (now Fuyang, Anhui).Swimming around, only picking places where the crops grow well and there is food to eat, passing through cities and villages, knocking wooden fish on big families. 【04】Soft and tough, lived in the mountains, lived in the wild, suffered all the hardships of wind and frost, traveled all over the famous capitals and cities in Huaixi, and became familiar with the rivers, mountains, and geography of this area, especially the human relations and products in this area ,custom.Seeing the world widened my horizons, learned many things, enriched social knowledge, and exercised strong physical strength.During this period, he later recalled:

Everyone is planning, and the clouds and water are flying.What do I do, nothing good.Yi personally humiliated, looking up to the sky.There is nothing to lean on, but the shadows of the couple will rush forward suddenly, throwing themselves at the ancient temple at dusk, looking up at the poor cliff Cuiwei and leaning on the green jade, listening to the apes crying at night and the moon is desolate.The soul lingers and finds no parents, and the ambition is downcast and pretending.The westerly wind and the cranes are rumbling, and the Russian patter is flying frost, the body is like a canopy chasing the wind, and the heart is boiling like boiling soup. 【05】

More than three years have passed since my body was like a pendant chasing the wind, and my heart was like boiling soup.Until the eighth year of Zhizheng, I heard that the area around my hometown was not peaceful, which aroused my homesickness. I still returned to Huangjue Temple the same as when I came out, with a broken hat, a wooden fish, and a clay bowl. During the few years when Zhu Yuanzhang traveled in Huaixi, Peng Yingyu, the founder of the Western Red Army, was lurking in this area, spreading the teachings of Maitreya Buddha's rebirth, and organizing revolutionary forces.Peng Yingyu is also a wandering monk. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang has never met Peng monk, he must have had contact with Peng monk's disciples.A few years later, this area became the base of the Eastern Red Army again, and this seed was sown by Monk Peng.Zhu Yuanzhang traveled around this area for three or four years and lived in the lower class. He accepted new religions, new ideas, and new political education, and joined secret organizations.Xingtong, who has matured both mentally and physically, started to make friends after returning to Huangjue Temple, looking for heroes with ambition, courage and courage, and went to Haozhou City from time to time to look for news, and at the same time Make up your mind to know more characters, read more books, understand more principles, and prepare for a career in the future. 【06】

The religion that Peng Yingyu secretly propagates is diverse and has foreign elements.The main characteristics of believers are burning incense and reciting gatha. The gods they worship are Maitreya Buddha and King Ming.Peng Yingyu became a monk in Yuanzhou (now Yichun, Jiangxi), and taught in Huaixi, so it can be said that she belongs to the Southern School.Another system is the Northern faction, headed by the Han family in Luancheng, Zhaozhou (now Luancheng, Hebei).The Han family has been the leader of the White Lotus Sect for several generations. They burn incense and gather together, and they are very popular among rural farmers. They have great potential and publicity. live.After Han Shantong took over as the leader of the sect, he made people preach everywhere that the world was going to be in chaos, Maitreya Buddha was born, King Ming was born, and organized forces to prepare for an uprising.After the two factions raised their troops, because of the same goal, they both opposed the Yuan Dynasty, had the same beliefs, and both promoted Maitreya Buddha and King Ming, so they became one.The believers in the uprising all wrapped their heads with red scarves to distinguish them from the Yuan Dynasty army. It's called Mingjiao. 【07】

The origin of Mingjiao can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty.Originally called Manichaeism, it was created by the Persian Mani (AD 216｜277).This religion is a hodgepodge, mixing Christianity, Zoroastrianism, and Buddhism to become a new religion.The main teachings are two sects and three states; they believe that there are two different forces in the world, called light and dark sects, light is light, good, and reason, and darkness is darkness, evil, and desire.These two forces, fighting against each other, go through three stages, called the first stage, the middle stage, and the latter stage.In the initial stage, there is no heaven and earth, but there is light and darkness. The bright nature knows wisdom, and the dark nature is ignorant, forming a state of opposition.In the middle stage, the power of darkness develops and expands, invades and oppresses the power of Ming, and runs wildly, causing great trouble. At this time, King Ming is born, and through struggle, the darkness is driven away.In the later stage, the two sects of light and dark are restored to their original positions, and the light is returned to the great light, and the dark is also returned to the accumulation of darkness.The opposition between light and dark at the beginning is the past, the struggle between light and dark at the middle is the present, and the restoration of light and dark at the end is the future.The god of Mingjiao is called Mingshi, also called Mingzun, Mingwang. [08] In the first year of Yanzai (AD 694), Empress Wu of the Tang Dynasty, it was passed to the Tang Dynasty, and then to the Uighurs. The Uighur government and people respected it very much. 【09】Mingjiao has no idols, does not worship ghosts and gods, eats fast, prohibits killing, believers wear white clothes and hats, and eat only after dark. 【10】The Uyghurs made great contributions in helping the Tang Dynasty in the war at that time. Therefore, the Ming Religion worshiped by the Uyghurs was also protected by the Tang Dynasty. [11] By the middle of the ninth century, the Uighur civil strife was defeated by the Tang army.In the fifth year of Emperor Wuzong's Huichang (845 A.D.), Buddhism was banned, Ming religion was also banned, and churches were closed and not allowed to spread. [12] Since then, Mingjiao has become a secret religion; it has been secretly practiced among the people, absorbing many things from Buddhism and Taoism, and infiltrating many primitive beliefs of the people, becoming a miscellaneous mixed religion.

Because Mingjiao believes that at the current stage, although the dark forces are dominant, the king of Ming must be born, the light must defeat the darkness, encourage revolution, and advocate struggle. For farmers with scientific knowledge, it is a great encouragement and inspiration. Therefore, Mingjiao teachings have penetrated into the people, and it is the religion of the oppressed and exploited. It has won the belief and support of the majority of farmers and has become a force for organizing peasant uprisings.During the Five Dynasties, the Ming Cultists first revolted in Chenzhou and were defeated by the government army. [13] Some believers fled to Fujian.In the Northern Song Dynasty, southern Fujian was the most important diocese of Mingjiao.A part of the classics of Mingjiao was compiled into the Taoist "Taoist Collection" and placed in the Mingdao Palace in Bozhou. 【14】It spread from Fuzhou to Zhejiang. In Wenzhou alone (now Yongjia County, Zhejiang Province and several nearby counties), there are more than 40 Mingjiao Zhaitang. Zhe, aunt, Zhai sister all kinds of titles. 【15】By the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, it had grown to cover Huainan, Zhejiang, Jiangdong, and Jiangxi. [16] The believers strictly implement fasting on the secret day (Sunday). The portraits of the gods are Mani and Yishu (Jesus). These two gods have high noses, hollow eyes, and yellow hair. It is the devil, so outsiders say this religion is eating vegetables and serving demons, eating vegetables refers to eating vegetarian food, and serving demons refers to worshiping demon gods, and it is also called the devil religion.In order to go deep into the countryside and attract farmers to participate, Mingjiao advocates vegetarianism, light burials, and saving consumption. Fellow church members help each other, and everyone pools money to help new and poor church members.On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, forty-nine copper coins will be given out to burn incense for the teacher. After all the money is remitted, it will be handed over to the teacher for the teaching expenses.The family has something to do, and the classmates have money to contribute money, and they are able to contribute. If someone is caught and jailed, everyone will contribute money to help with the lawsuit. 【17】Organization, solidarity, mutual aid and cooperation are achieved, and there is a certain amount of funds. Poor peasants have always been exploited, oppressed, abused, and enslaved by the government and landlords. Now there are so many people like themselves , wear the same clothes, say the same words, sincerely come to help yourself, and unite and organize, it will be of great benefit in the future, so why not participate?As more and more poor peasants joined the religion, Mingjiao's parishes also expanded, and Mingjiao's power became stronger day by day.There are more and more riots, armed uprisings, and various actions against the landlords and the government.From the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Muzhou (now Jiande, Zhejiang and several nearby counties), Taizhou (now Linhai, Zhejiang and several nearby counties), Quzhou (now Quxian, Zhejiang and dozens of nearby counties), Dongyang (now Dongyang, Zhejiang) , Xinzhou (now Shangrao, Jiangxi and several nearby counties), Jingxian (now Jingxian, Anhui) and other places, there have been armed revolutionary struggles by Ming Cultists. 【18】 However, it is precisely because the Ming Cultists advocate that the final goal is to restore light and darkness to their respective positions and not interfere with each other. The forces of darkness still exist after struggles, and the system of exploitation, oppression, and enslavement of peasants still exists. In terms of leadership, not only Compromise, compromise, and abandonment, and the result of bloody sacrifices is still the rule of the landlords over the peasants, and the oppression of classes by classes, so it is impossible to carry the revolution to the end and win complete and complete victory.All uprisings of this type in history have ended in failure. The Ming religion is also mixed with the two popular religions of Maitreya and White Lotus.Both Maitreya and White Lotus sects come from the Pure Land sect of Buddhism, one is called Maitreya Pure Land and the other is called Amitabha Pure Land.Maitreya Buddha is a famous figure in Buddhism. According to Buddhist legend, Maitreya was a king in the past, and he was a good king who cared for the people.When Shakyamuni Buddha was alive, Maitreya attended the Dharma and was a good student.5.67 billion years after Buddha Sakyamuni passed away (death), Maitreya descended to the world and became a Buddha. 【19】Buddhist scriptures all recognize that Maitreya is the Buddha who succeeded Sakyamuni after a distant generation.He also said that after Sakyamuni passed away, the world became bad, and all kinds of bad things happened, not only bad weather, bad crops, but also bad people's hearts.Fortunately, Shakyamuni Buddha left a message before his death. A few years later, Maitreya Buddha was born. As soon as this Buddha was born, the world changed immediately. The land was spacious and clean, and the thorny thorns disappeared. , green mountains, green water, covered with golden sand, clear pools everywhere, dense forests, beautiful flowers, fragrant herbs, and all kinds of nameless treasures.People's hearts have also changed for the better, rushing to do good deeds, doing more good deeds, and living a longer life, and they live peacefully.The population is increasing day by day, and the cities are getting richer and richer.The rice and wheat planted will have seven harvests from the next seed. There is no need to pull the weeds and turn the soil, and they will mature by themselves. 【20】Since the appearance of this beautiful fairy tale, tens of millions of farmers have been looking forward to the arrival of this day. Decades and hundreds of years have passed, and they are still waiting and looking forward to it.As soon as they heard that Maitreya Buddha was born somewhere, they rushed to join the uprising.From Sui, Tang to Song and Yuan, for seven or eight hundred years, history is full of records of Maitreya uprisings.The translation of some classics about Maitreya Buddha started as early as the Jin Dynasty, and had a great influence in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.For example, in the atmosphere at that time, monks spent money to dig holes in the rocks to carve Buddha statues. There were many holes in a mountain, and there were many big stone Buddhas in each hole. It often took several years or even hundreds of years to carve them.The most engraved Buddha statues are Maitreya Buddha and Amitabha Buddha.The dissemination of classics, the worship of Buddha statues, the instigation of legends, and the countless calls for the birth of Maitreya Buddha made this mysterious and friendly name familiar to and trusted by simple farmers, and became a force to organize and launch resistance to the ruling class at that time.People who believe in Maitreya also wear white clothes and hats, and burn incense. 【21】I also believe that there are two forces in the world, light and darkness, good and bad, which are generally similar to the later Ming religion, and as a result, these two religions are mixed together. The White Lotus Society supports Amitabha Buddha, and advises people to recite the Buddha's name and practice, and do more good deeds. After death, they can go to the White Lotus Pond in the Western Pure Land to live a happy life.This group was founded in the early 5th century, and in the early 12th century, it added the motto of Tiantai Sect, avoid onion milk, do not kill, do not drink alcohol, and evolved into the White Lotus Sect.Because the ceremonies and precepts are similar to those of Maitreya, the three secret religions were naturally mixed into one in the early fourteenth century. 【twenty two】 Both Mingjiao and Maitreya are dissatisfied with the status quo, and both advocate changing the status quo. Both believe that there will be a better or the best world in the near future and will inevitably appear.The emergence of this fantasy world has an obvious sign, that is, King Ming or Maitreya Buddha was born.In this way, the birth of King Ming or Maitreya Buddha became the most popular and concise call to incite peasants to participate in the armed revolution.This call has powerfully attracted the simple and kind-hearted farmers trapped in poverty and desperation. They armed themselves with bamboo poles and hoes, and carried out heroic and indomitable just struggles against violent oppression.Although every uprising has been suppressed by the well-organized and powerful government army, they have failed, but the peasants will never surrender, fall, wipe off the blood, get up again, resist again, resist forever ,Wild fire, in spring.As long as feudal oppression exists, the struggle of the peasants in various forms, especially armed revolution against armed counter-revolution, will never cease.Deep in the minds of the vast number of oppressed and enslaved peasants, although they do not understand the truth of class oppression, they all hate the ruthless exploitation and abuse of landlords and bureaucrats. Maitreya will be born! Three years before Zhu Yuanzhang was born, in June of the second year of Yuan Taiding (AD 1325), Zhao Chousi and Guo Bodhisattva from Xizhou announced that Maitreya Buddha would come to rule the world. 【23】Twelve years later, Banghu (Run'er) from Chenzhou claimed that Maitreya Buddha had been born. He burned incense and met all the believers, and armed uprisings in Runing Prefecture and Xinyang Prefecture, captured Guide Prefecture and Luyi, burned Chenzhou (Chenzhou was the base of the Ming Cult uprising more than 400 years ago). 【24】This year, Zhu Yuanzhang was ten years old.In the second year, Zhou Ziwang, a Maitreya believer, revolted in Yuanzhou from Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty to Wuyin in the fourth year of Yuan Dynasty (1338 A.D.). Zhou Ziwang was Peng Yingyu [25] (also known as Peng Yi, the enemy called him They persuaded people to recite Maitreya Buddha's name, lit torches every night, burned incense and worshiped, and proclaimed Buddha's gatha, and many people believed in it.The believers agreed to set up troops at the time of Yin, Yin, Yin, Yin, Yin, Yin, Yin, Yin, Yin, Yin, Yin, Yin, Yin, Yin, and Yin. Those who participated would write a word of Buddha on their backs, thinking that with the blessing of Buddha, they would not be injured by swords and soldiers.The year, month, day and hour are all together, and Zhou Ziwang calls himself King of Zhou.Changed the year name and led 5,000 people to revolt.This untrained peasant army was brutally suppressed by the local army as soon as it started, and Zhou Ziwang was killed.Peng Yingyu often used mineral water to treat the diseases of nearby farmers, and the people of Yuanzhou regarded him as a living god and competed to shade him.The government searched hard, and he couldn't stay in his hometown anymore, so he had to flee to Huaixi. The people in Huaixi had long known the reputation of Patriarch Peng, and rushed to cover him, so they simply stayed in Huaixi, preached in secret, and organized a larger organization. Strength, ready to dry again. Among the places Zhu Yuanzhang visited in the past few years, Xizhou, Chenzhou, Xinyang, and Huaixi Valley, the first three were the places where the Maitreya Rebel uprising failed, and the Huaixi Valley was the area where Peng Yingyu secretly preached. 【25】 Notes from the original book: 01: "Imperial Longxing Temple Monument", Yuan Wenxin's "Fengyang New Book" Volume 8. 02: "Yuan History" Volume 38 "Shun Emperor Ben Ji": In the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, all monks who had wives were ordered to return to the common people and then became monks again.Ye Ziqi's "Caomuzi Miscellaneous Chapter": All the monks in the Central Plains and Hebei have wives, and they openly live in the two verandahs of the Buddha Hall.
