Live broadcast: Take our ancestors to see modern China

What?! It feeds 1.4 billion people! It can even provide aid to other countries!

The emperors sat up in shock. You know, what they lacked most were food and population. Previously, they were wondering how in the future, with such a large population, everyone would have enough food to eat. After all, this was not a small number.

But today, they solved the mystery. It was the thin-looking man in the video who achieved it.

Did the emperor observe people's livelihood? Of course he did, but the science and technology of the times were different. He could only meet the needs of the people as much as possible, but there were still accidents that might make them lose everything for a year.

Ying Zheng frowned and thought, what kind of magical power could solve the food problem of 1.4 billion people?

The same idea lingered in the minds of emperors in different dynasties. You know, food issues are related to the lifeblood of the country. If the people are not well fed for years, the harm is self-evident. Didn't many dynasties disappear because of grassroots problems?

In the absence of war or natural disasters, the emperor would try his best to store food and build granaries.

But if people in later generations are able to provide food to other countries, then the grain reserves of our own country must not be small.

Qianlong wanted to ask Tianmu at this time, are you lying to me? You know, they have high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and corn, but there will still be famine disasters, which is a disaster for the whole country.

Are they really only a hundred years apart from later generations? Qianlong felt like a clown, and he ordered a policy of closing the country to the outside world, thinking that this would be the way to rule the Qing Dynasty. However, history taught him through painful experience that this decision was wrong, and China's door was blasted open by the artillery of Western powers.

When the sky curtain appeared, he relied on himself as the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and felt that no matter how good life was in later generations, it would never be comparable to the dynasty he ruled, where everyone could have enough food to eat and everyone had access to education. Wouldn't their rulers worry about the people underground rebelling?

Yes, although in their perception the emperor no longer exists in later generations, a country must have someone in power. But if we enlighten the people in this way, aren't we afraid that one day they will rise up in rebellion?

At least at this moment, Qianlong believed that it was better for the people to be ignorant and let them struggle to get enough food and clothing every day. How could they be expected to study?

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about the days when his family was in dire straits. They didn't even have money to buy a coffin for their parents, and there was not enough food for their brothers to share. But now he has finally made it. He can also let his Zhu family live a good life. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel proud...

[He broke the three major taboos of Buddhism, just to let everyone see the Buddha's light - Master Suquan and his 108 Arhats. ]

[The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake suddenly destroyed the Shifang Maternal and Child Health Hospital, leaving nearly 40 pregnant women with nowhere to go.

At this time, aftershocks continued and the situation was critical, so they had to evacuate immediately. However, the only earthquake-resistant building around was the Luohan Temple. Buddhists were pure and did not like women. Would the temple accept them? Would it allow pregnant women to give birth in the temple?

The people under the sky watched the solid ceiling falling from above in the video. Doctors and nurses were supporting pregnant women with big bellies in the rooms and corridors. Dust and wooden boards were falling everywhere. The ground beneath their feet was splitting apart. It was the familiar earth dragon turning over.

At this time, the emperor and his courtiers were watching this thrilling scene. You know, once the earth dragon turns over, they need to escape to an open area immediately. However, in later generations, it would take time to escape from tall buildings. The person to be evacuated was a pregnant woman, so there was no room for carelessness.

Everyone watched with a worried look on their face, hoping that the temple would allow them to seek refuge. However, in such an important Buddhist place where even the smell of meat and fish is not tolerated, how could so many pregnant women be allowed to give birth? And what about the nutritional needs of the pregnant women after giving birth? How could the light vegetarian meals provide that?

[The dean had no choice but to go to the temple for help. Touchingly, the abbot of Luohan Temple, Master Suquan, did not hesitate at all. He immediately opened the temple gate and allowed everyone to enter the Luohan Temple for refuge.

The temple accommodated more than 2000 disaster victims at its peak, but with so many people, problems arose.

The monks in the temple told Master Suquan that with so many people coming to the temple suddenly, our already scarce supplies would soon be used up. At that time, Master Suquan set three temporary temple rules:

First, accept all disaster victims unconditionally;

Second, the warehouse was opened and all items were allowed to be taken by the victims as needed without any conditions;

Third, all items were provided for the mother, and even stewing meat and killing chickens were allowed in the temple to provide her with nutrition.

As we all know, Buddhism forbids killing, eating meat, and blood. It is hard for us to imagine how much pressure Master Su Quan has to bear.

The monks who cooked would vomit when they smelled the smell of meat, so Master Suquan worked in the kitchen himself. During the day he transformed himself into a chef, and at night he knelt in front of the Buddha to confess his sins.

On this day, it rained heavily, and Master Suquan cleared out the only meditation room in the temple that did not leak for use by women in labor. Two tables put together became the operating table, and a flashlight became the operating light.

However, it was still raining heavily outside and some pregnant women had no place to stay. Master Suquan immediately decided to take down the shed that was used to shelter the Buddha statue from the rain and give it to the pregnant women to use.

Many monks expressed their opposition immediately, but Master Suquan said that they should take care of the living people first and then the clay statues.

On the morning of May 5, a clear cry of a baby was heard from the delivery room. The first Luohan baby was born, a girl, and Master Suquan named her Tang Zhenwen. Miraculously, in the next two months, 13 more babies were born in the temple, a total of 107 children, which just corresponded to the 108 Luohans on the temple murals. Therefore, these children were also called Luohan babies.

Three years later, the mothers of the Luohan babies each took a piece of cloth from their children's clothes, sewed it into a patchwork coat and gave it to Master Suquan.

Master Su Quan told the children that the most important thing in life is to dedicate yourself, like a lamp. No matter it is a 1000-watt lamp or a 10-watt lamp, you must shine. Even the weakest light can warm yourself and illuminate others.

13 years have passed, and some people still accuse Master Suquan of disturbing the tranquility of Buddhism. But in my opinion, Master Suquan’s Buddha is in his heart, not bound by the rules. This is the true Buddha in the world! 】

Watching Master Su Quan opening the door to welcome people and killing chickens to cook, and from collecting materials to rescuing people to setting up houses for childbirth, everyone felt that this was the living Buddha saving the world!

Some people also said stubbornly that no matter what, he had broken the Buddhist rules. They did not think that as a Buddhist disciple who broke the taboo, how could he still be worthy of being called a Buddhist?

When listening to the interviewed Master Su Quan saying that "to watch someone dying without rescuing them is the biggest taboo", the monks in some ancient temples put their hands together and chanted "Amitabha, the living Buddha of this world, whose merits are immeasurable". Some monks even chanted mantras to liberate the souls of those who died in disasters in later generations.
