In the 11,300th year of the Blue Star lunar calendar, Qiyuan Star

Huiming gained a lot from his trip to Dacheng Star. After returning to Qiyuan Star, he talked with many people in the scientific community and basically established the direction of the development of Buddhist science and technology.

Buddhism will not put all its eggs in one basket. Huiming decided that Buddhism will go in several directions at the same time. For example, Qiyuan Star will follow the old path of Blue Star, scientific development, and use Blue Star as a template.

The other planets of Buddhism are free to develop. They can insist on independent development paths and find new ways. They can also be like Qiyuan Star, or they can combine with each other.

On the whole, the scientific and technological development paths of various Buddhist planets are no longer unified, but they formulate strategies based on their own actual conditions. In a sense, this is also a grand occasion of a hundred schools of thought, and it cannot be said that it is necessarily wrong.

Of course, the development speed of imitation is the fastest. Although Buddhism has now lost all the territory of Tianbei Star Region, Buddhism has been infiltrating the forces of the Heavenly Court.

They continue to spread the seeds of Buddha on various planets in the Heavenly Court. Although 99% of them fail, there are always some successes. In fact, both sides are doing this kind of thing. Some of the big moves of each other cannot be hidden from each other.

Therefore, Qiyuan Star has become the planet with the strongest scientific and technological strength of Buddhism. Like Blue Star, they also actively use scientific and technological means to explore the universe. They have launched a large number of spacecraft and probes into the deep space of the universe to search for life planets.

Naturally, Qiyuan Star has also become a lighthouse of Buddhism, illuminating the world of Buddhism. More and more Buddhist planets have sent people to Qiyuan Star to study and take away the seeds of scientific and technological civilization.

“More than five hundred years ago, my Qiyuan star dispatched thirty-six Bodhisattvas and eight hundred and four Arhats to conquer the Tianbei star field. In the end, we won a tragic victory, but only returned with thirteen Bodhisattvas and three hundred and two Arhats, with more than half of them killed or wounded. Now, more than five hundred years have passed, and my Qiyuan star has fully recovered its splendor. We now have forty-seven Bodhisattvas and nine hundred and two Arhats..."

“The ideological turmoil brought about by scientific and technological civilization is unavoidable for our Buddhist sect. Therefore, we have made changes based on the historical lessons of Buddhism in the Tianbei star field and demarcated the territory of Buddhism. The area within the mountain gate of the Buddhist temple belongs to Buddhism, and the area outside the mountain gate belongs to the secular world and implements secular laws. We do not pursue the unity of politics and religion..."

“Thoughts are very important. We have eliminated those things in the textbooks that are not good for our Buddhist sect..."

“The source of disciples is through the modern education system to select talents. Ordinary people are not concerned about the Buddhist Dharma, but the channels for upward mobility. We must attach importance to the development of material things. All thoughts are rooted in material things..."

"We must redefine Buddhism. Buddhism is not a castle in the air. It must also be based on material foundations. Buddhism should change according to the times. To put it bluntly, Buddhism is one of the myriad methods, and Buddhist principles are also a kind of public opinion..."

In a conference room on Qiyuan Star, a high monk from Qiyuan Star was giving a lecture to high-level officials from other planets who came to Qiyuan Star to study. Some of his judgments were earth-shattering in the eyes of these high-level officials.

Many people looked at Huiming on the side, but Huiming just smiled and did not refute. This was originally his intention. This was not the first time he had seen such a reaction from everyone.

In Huiming's view, the first task of Buddhism to develop science and technology is to liberate the mind. If the mind is not connected, everything else is a waste and has no effect.

After the lecture, many high-level Buddhists gathered around Huiming and discussed with him. Huiming also answered one by one. Whether the other party agreed or disagreed, he insisted on his own opinion and used facts as a basis. Qiyuan Star has indeed gained a lot of benefits from the development of science and technology.

With the development of productivity, mortals no longer compete with practitioners for resources. Practitioners have more abundant resources, and a scientific and reasonable training system makes it easier to discover the talents of practitioners. These are the fundamental guarantees for the prosperity of Qiyuan Star.

After a whole day of work, Huiming returned to his residence. Two True Buddhas were already waiting. Huiming bowed to them. They were both Huiming's masters.

"Huiming, there is news from Lingxing. The Celestial Star Region has sent people to negotiate with Blue Star. The Celestial Star Region is also going to introduce technological civilization. What do you think?"

"It is the general trend, master. Everyone has seen the power of technology. Future interstellar wars will inevitably require space warships. Now everyone is accumulating efforts to develop them."

"Yes, I didn't expect these technological weapons to be so powerful. They directly affect the world of practitioners. Everyone can't avoid these things. So let me ask you, if we start another war, can we win?"

"No, master."

"Are you sure?"

"Well, our technological level is not as good as Blue Star. If we go to war, we will definitely lose."

"Then if we continue to develop like this, can we win?"

"Master, to be honest, I can only say that there is a chance. Technology is a big proposition. We are desperately catching up. We may not lose to Blue Star in the future. But I think that if we want to go to war, we can attack the demons and the demon domain to form a dimensionality reduction attack..."

Huiming continued. He had thought about it long ago. He knew very well the gap between the Buddhist technology and the Blue Star technology. It cannot be surpassed in a few hundred years. It must be stretched to thousands or even tens of thousands of years. In the future, the competition of scientific and technological strength will also be a competition of overall strength.

For example, my space battleship is not as good as yours, but as long as there is no serious generation gap, I can make up for it with quantity, which requires a vast territory and rich resources.

Therefore, it is very important to take over the territory of the demons or the demon domain, so that they will have enough territory, enough population and market, which can also give birth to a more advanced scientific and technological civilization.

The foundation of scientific and technological civilization is industry, and industry and market are inseparable. The market is needed to promote the development of industry and guide the development of industry. Huiming explained this relationship very clearly.

The two True Buddhas looked at each other. They were convinced by Huiming's theory. Huiming had studied this aspect very deeply and it was an important reference for them. Now Huiming advocated avoiding the Heavenly Court and attacking the Demon Clan and the Demon Territory, which shocked them.

"Huiming, do you know that you are very important now? Even the Buddha has paid much attention to you. These words are enough to change the strategy of the entire Buddhist sect,"

said a True Buddha. The strategy of the Buddhist sect has always been to attack the Heavenly Court first, because the Heavenly Court is very powerful and is regarded as the biggest opponent by the Buddhist sect.

In fact, the Buddhist sect has always suppressed the Heavenly Court until the appearance of Blue Star in the last few thousand years, which made the Buddhist sect suffer a setback. However, the Buddhist sect was not defeated. Although the Buddhist power in the Tianbei Star Region was lost recently, they occupied the Tianyuan Star Region, and at most they suffered a loss in the Tiannan Star Region.

"Grandmaster, I know everything you said. Recently, Buddhists from various planets have come to learn, which is also the will of the Buddha. I am responsible for what I said, and this is also a very good suggestion. As the saying goes, when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. No matter who wins the fight between Buddhism and Heaven, it will be a miserable victory. The demons and monsters have been very close in recent years because of our relationship with Heaven. We must also prevent the situation where the fishermen gain the advantage."

"I will convey your words to the Buddha, but the specific strategy is to be decided by the Buddha. Your current task is to help various planets establish scientific and technological civilization and enhance the strength of our Buddhism."

"Yes, Grandmaster,"

Huiming nodded and agreed. These were his tasks. He had not yet transcended the tribulation in order to preside over the overall situation on Qiyuan Star. Without his support, it was unknown how many detours the Buddhist technology development would have to take.
