The Pope is also a human being, and he also has seven emotions and six desires, and he also needs to eat and drink.
Regarding religion, I have always felt that Chinese people have few devout religious beliefs. Religion is mostly pragmatism and appropriation in the minds of most Chinese people. For example, the objects of our worship are the God of Wealth and the King of Medicine to be healthy. If you want to have Wenquxing in fame, if you want your son to have an empress, if you want peace of mind, you want to have a Bodhisattva, if you want to suppress evil, you need to find Buddha or Sanqing. In Qiqihar, I once saw a building of the Republic of China of a Taoist temple of the five religions. Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism returned. Everyone sat together and discussed something. It was very harmonious and very Chinese.
So, don't ask us what we believe, we either don't believe or are superstitious.
As for the people around me who eat fast food and recite Buddha all day long, those who tie their hair to practise the Dao, those who talk about Allah, what do they believe in, maybe a few people can recite a few passages of scriptures and say some teachings , Knowing a little about the organizational structure, this is already a leader, but the real chat is mostly left to him or to the almighty Lord/God.
Chinese people are deeply influenced by Confucian culture. These things are carved into their bones and into their blood. Whether you call them traditional culture, whether you call them religion, or whatever you call them, they are the majority. The beliefs of the Chinese people, such as family culture and filial piety, such as the interpretation and practice of righteousness, such as etiquette and rules, such as honesty and integrity...
So, don't say that Chinese people have no faith, we can have no religion, but we have faith.
