Who is the biggest benevolent man in "Journey to the West"? Compared with Kou Hong, who many people will say that "ten thousand monks will not stop", then according to the reason of the causal cycle, why was Kou Hong kicked to death by robbers? This is also cause and effect, and this cause and effect hides the essence of the ancient and modern way of making money.
First, Kou Hong is actually very picky
1. "There is a foreign family member, and there is a card in front of his door that ten thousand monks are not blocked." Tell me to come to his house and eat fast. "Kou Hong vowed to fast for 10,000 monks, borrowing the story of Bodhidharma and Emperor Wu of Liang, doing good deeds is originally meritorious, but deliberately remembering his own merit is not meritorious.
The only person in Journey to the West who recites the Buddha and counts is Kou Hong, which shows that Kou Hong is not a person who concentrates on the Buddha, and the word "ten thousand monks do not block" shows his meaning, only fasting 10,000 monks, and there will be no such thing in the future.
Then Kou Hong's monk has an inside story!
2. "Since the age of forty, Xu Zhai has been a monk before he can be complete." Now I have been fasting for twenty-four years, and I have a book of accounts of the monks. There has been nothing to do for several days, and the names of the monks who have fasted are counted, and there are 9,996 members who have fasted, and there are only four people, and they cannot be satisfied. It also shows that the monk Kou Hong is not for the sake of the Buddha, but simply for the sake of the monk.
3. How stingy is Kou Hong?"The gang of thieves, with knives, lit a fire, opened his cage, and looted some gold and silver treasures, jewelry, clothes, utensils, and household fire. The man was reluctant to give up, so he gave up his life, and walked out of the door and said to the strong men: "The king, it is enough for you, and you will leave a few clothes to send my old man to the end."
Kou Hong did not give up his money when he faced such a predicament, and he was still negotiating with the robbers, leaving himself some money and clothes for his retirement, which fully shows that Kou Hong's heart is stingy!
2. Why does Kou Hong want to "ten thousand monks do not stop"?
"The disciple's name is Kou Hong, his words are big and wide, and he is sixty-four years old. Since the age of forty, Xu Zhai ten thousand monks have done perfection. Now I have been fasting for twenty-four years, and I have a book of accounts of the monks. ”
In the original work, Kou Hong himself said that when he was forty years old, Xu Zhai was a monk, so the question came:
1. What are the conditions for a person to fast for 10,000 monks? Money, a lot of money.
2. Why does a person reach the age of forty and suddenly wish to fasten ten thousand monks, devote himself to the Buddha, and still build temples and prayer buildings in his own home, see those who suddenly turn to the Buddha, either have an epiphany, or are stimulated and need to atone for their sins.
From Kou Hong's negotiations with the robbers and his wife and concubines before his death, it is obvious that there is no epiphany, so there is only one reason left - atonement.
3. How did Kou Hong become a great benevolent person?
Why Kou Hong can become a great good person, because he has money, it is explained in the original book, Kou Hong is a famous big landowner, the bloody stage of capitalist accumulation is self-evident, any capital is no exception, Kou Hong is of course no exception, so Kou Hong's ten thousand monks do not hinder the atonement for their sins, so they will die.
And Kou Hong was kicked to death by a flirting yin, that is, he was kicked to death by a male yang, this kind of death is relatively rare and painful.
Fourth, the essence of the ancient and modern ways of making money
How did Kou Hong get rich? In fact, there is no essential difference in the way of making a fortune from ancient times to the present, and there are only two modes of essence:
1. Money - money; 2. Money - things - money;
In ancient times, it was commonly said that it was rent collection and lending, and investment in movable property, real estate, company, business, etc., all of which were the choices of these two models.
In ancient times, the way for the landlord class to get rich was nothing more than to form a debt relationship with the peasants through lending, which was generally usury, and they could not afford to sell their sons and daughters after they could not afford to pay it back, and then sell the land, and the landlord class would collect more capital accumulation after grasping more land, and continue to expand lending, resulting in more bankruptcy.
This is also why as long as the feudal dynasty enters a stable period, it will inevitably lead to the expansion of the ruling class and the landlord class, and eventually a large number of peasants will start to rebel after losing their land, and everything will be overturned and restarted.
This is the vast way of heaven, I don't know what to do, the cycle of the sun and the moon, and the cycle repeats!
