The reason why Buddhism was respected by everyone was that it was inseparable from the rulers at that time, except for its mysterious color. In order to strengthen their imperial power, rulers draw up their stories with the help of religious legends to gain more support and recognition.
When Wu Zetian was in power, temples of various Buddhist holy places were built on a large scale all over the country. Advocating the large-scale spread of Buddhism among the people, that is, during the reign of the female emperor, Buddhism was further promoted.
Because religion is an indispensable prerequisite for the development of the whole human society, its role is to provide spiritual motivation for more people, and it is absolutely necessary for the ruling class to respect religion.
Extended data:
1. Buddhism denies fatalism and believes that people have destiny, but it does not encourage people to leave their fate to chance, but hopes that people will create destiny. Buddhism holds that all laws are born of karma, so fate is born of karma. A bad fate can be changed by planting good fruits.
Since fate can be changed through compassion, cultivation and repentance, it is not necessarily so unchangeable. No matter how bad the fate is, it can also be transformed through various practices.
Buddhism believes that the human body is rare. In the endless cycle of robbery, it is extremely rare for all beings to get personal opportunities, such as "the blind turtle reaches the wood." For learning Buddhism, a perfect person is the best condition for learning Buddhism and doing good work.
Buddhism opposes both killing and suicide, and advocates nursing students. Whether it is to repay the parents' upbringing, or to pursue a happy life in the world, or to learn Buddhism and pursue the interests of liberation in the world, we must rely on this extremely rare and precious person.
