As the old saying goes, "Buddhism is in the realm, my Buddha is compassionate", but as the old saying goes, "no one gives up a good child to the temple".
This contradictory statement also seems to imply that there is actually an "undercurrent surging" inside the Pure Land of Buddhism.
Nowadays, we often see news such as "monks drive luxury cars and live in luxury houses to make beautiful women", and we also encounter "fake nuns" who defraud in the name of "doing good deeds and accumulating virtue".
Between the true and the false, from ancient times to the present, there are not a few stories in Buddhism, not only recorded in ancient history, but also in the real society There are still Buddhist stories of one kind or another.
During the Ming Dynasty, a very spicy-eyed but frequently occurring scam "Shigu Fishing" was staged in nunnery everywhere.
Once you are unfortunate enough to enter the game, you will lose your family property at least and ruin your family at worst.
The terrible thing about this kind of deception is that it makes you bitter and unspeakable, and both men and women eat it, and they have both wealth and sex, no wonder it is so popular......
Do you know what "Aunt Fishing" is?
01
In fact, if you want to understand what "Shigu fishing" is, through these two short stories, you can immediately understand the mystery here.
Legend has it that during the Ming Dynasty, there was a nunnery with very strong incense, called Jingyun Temple.
This nunnery not only has countless dignitaries and nobles come to bow down all year round, but also exists in both men and women. In the mouth of the outside world, Jingyun Temple is different. Only those who actually go to worship will understand the "mystery" of it.
When you actually enter Jingyun Temple, you will find that the temple is very well kept.
At first glance on the mountain, there is a feeling of paradise, here, I have to admire the wisdom of Shitai.
No wonder the incense of Jingyun Temple is so vigorous, and many people of noble status also like to come here to worship, the first impression of the external environment is very important.
The master of this temple is also a very powerful figure, which can be seen from the temple regulations of Jingyun Temple and the management system of the temple. Jingyun Temple has a very strict management system and hierarchy.
In addition to the beautiful environment, Jingyun Temple also has a feature, that is, the nuns of Jingyun Temple are all young and beautiful nuns.
These nuns all have long hair, which is very different from ordinary nuns.
Because there is an unwritten rule in Jingyun Temple, only after the age of 30 can there be a master to shave the ordination herself, and women before the age of 30 are led to practice.
Although these women wore all nunnery clothes, there were always some who were so good-looking that they could not hide their appearance even in the most inconspicuous clothes.
In Jingyun Temple, these nuns were also divided into three, six, nine and so on because of their appearance.
The most inferior is responsible for doing rough work such as cleaning the yard, and this type of nun looks very ordinary.
But those nuns who have a little grace will be arranged to more important positions, such as receiving pilgrims, and some reciting scriptures to guests, excesses, etc., these nuns perform their duties in an orderly manner.
On the outside, this is a very solemn and solemn place, but when you really walk inside, you find that it is really "golden and jade, and it is ruined".
The reason why you will evaluate Jingyun Temple like this, you only need to take the next encounter of a man and a woman as an example to tell their experience in Jingyun Temple, and you will really understand what the highest level of "Shigu fishing" is.

There is a big family living at the bottom of the mountain of Jingyun Temple, and Zhao Da, the eldest son of Zhao Yuanwai's family, is an out-and-out gentleman.
Because he has not been tempered by life since he was a child, his father Zhao Yuanwai is also very fond of him, so Zhao Da, who grew up slowly, has become a typical representative of "people are stupid and have a lot of money".
Under the arrangement of his parents, Zhao Da accepted several concubines at a young age.
The family is big, but he doesn't do his job. He has more and more bad habits, and his wife is even more angry with him, and even Zhao Da's parents can't control him.
People like Zhao Da were not interested in such things as worshipping the Buddha.
But on this day, Zhao Da's favorite guy was very excited to find here, only to see the guy whispering next to Zhao Da.
Zhao Da's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately nodded again and again, and told the little guy to hurry up and make arrangements, and he was going to visit Jingyun Temple the next day.
Don't look at Zhao Da who lives next to Jingyun Temple, but he has never come up in all these years. Although his wife would come to pay homage every New Year's holiday, Zhao Da always found various reasons to shirk it in the past.
On this day, Zhao Da got up very excitedly and pulled his wife to incense, which made his wife inexplicable. But Zhao Dashen said the same, so under Zhao Da's arrangement, the group came to Jingyun Temple.
As soon as he entered Jingyun Temple, Zhao Da smiled from ear to ear.
Shi Tai came out at this time, and when she saw Zhao Da's expression, she couldn't help but smile slightly, she has seen a lot of this kind of person.
Next, things developed naturally, and I saw that this master took a step forward very smartly and gave Mrs. Zhao Da a gentle salute.
I saw that Mrs. Shi said very seriously, "Madam, come with me, and I will introduce you to the content of today's Buddha ceremony." As for this newcomer, I will take the people from our temple to visit it. ”
As soon as Mrs. Zhao saw that Mrs. Shi personally greeted her, she naturally hurriedly agreed. Because in the eyes of the common people, it is an extremely honorable thing for Shitai to be able to teach him Buddha in person.
And Zhao Da on the other end walked into the trap set for him by Jingyun Temple without knowing it.
This is good, the master who was invited into the urn was caught.
Zhao Da suddenly panicked, he was afraid that his wife would find out that the trouble would not end, and second, he was afraid that it would not be good for his reputation if it was spread out.
The strange Mrs. Shi was very calm, "It's very simple to solve this trouble, the donor only needs to pay money to eliminate the disaster." In this way, Zhao Da stupidly took out all the money on his body. And then, he went down the mountain stupidly.
From beginning to end, Zhao Da didn't feel that he was set a trap by Jingyun Temple, on the contrary, he was very glad that he was able to break the fortune and avoid disasters, but he didn't know that his little guy was bought by Shitai, Zhao Da was stupid and had a lot of money, and he was the big fish that Jingyun Temple valued the most.

In fact, Zhao Da is not the first person to be planted in Jingyun Temple, on the contrary, such a practice has formed a set of industrial chain in Jingyun Temple. The most amazing thing is that not only for men there is such a trap, but also for women, Jingyun Temple also does not let go.
Some women's husbands died suddenly and inherited a rich family property, usually such a woman will feel very sad to stay alone in an empty house, and this kind of person is also one of the objects of Jingyun Temple's search.
For Jingyun Temple, it is really only you who can't think of it, and you can't do it without it, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was not uncommon for such things to happen in nunnery.
Some readers may wonder that such a story is purely slandering the situation of Buddhism, but in fact, if you have read "Three Words and Two Beats", you will know that there are many scum in Buddhism.
In "The Travels of the Old Remnant", the case of "Shigu Fishing" is recorded here, which is also a criticism and condemnation of the ugly social status quo at that time.
In modern society, the so-called "master Gu fishing", in fact, is the fairy jump, the reason why the nunnery has tried this trick repeatedly, one is to have Buddhism as a cover, the other is to catch the psychology of people's curiosity, this kind of dirty thing, is really not enough to repeat.
This also shows that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, we must keep our eyes open, don't be greedy for small gains, be careful, there will be big traps behind......
