Ashoka: Bodhidharma who put down the butcher's knife
Prince Ashoka was transformed into the devil Ashoka after being stimulated by the murder of his mother, conquered the whole of India, and finally became King Dharma Ashoka because of the death of the little prince Aya and the hatred of the princess. He proposed to use love to influence people's hearts, and the twin children born by Ayu's Buddhist wife also carried forward the new Buddhism all over the world. precious cultural heritage left to the world. However, the Asoka dynasty collapsed after 50 years.
This raises the question, why a system that respects humanistic care, and is so kind to the people, collapses?
One of the reasons may be that his thinking is too advanced. That kind of humanistic culture, under the condition of undeveloped people's wisdom at that time, is actually not suitable for using humanistic culture to manage, because it will only make the originally applicable The system gradually collapsed. Under the comprehensive quality of the people at that time, only the most suitable system could survive, that is, feudal rule.
The history of what is called the feudal age around the world also bears this out.
This leads to another question, why many great men in ancient times proposed a management method of modern humanistic thought that is very advanced for modern times, but their rule often cannot survive. This is a tragedy caused by the ignorance of the people. Even now it remains so.
On the other hand, the so-called pursuit is the pursuit of an ideal state beyond one's current state. And because these outstanding top-level figures belong to the high-level stage of the class, their pursuit is already beyond their own existing, and it is a higher pursuit of their top-level, which makes them have a higher humanistic and cultural spirit. , their own quality is very high, so the higher pursuit they put forward, for ordinary people, can be said to be a "paradise utopia" that is close to a dream bubble. This kind of pursuit, in the feudal society, the gap between the world outlook of the people and the upper class was too large, and there was no mass foundation, the social people's wisdom was not developed, and the basic conditions were impossible to talk about. It became a legend by the influence of great men. The way is just a solitary call. Although there is harmony, it cannot be understood by oneself, knowing it but not knowing why.
It still relies on the charisma of outstanding characters to support it.
After all, people die, the Tao disappears.
PS, the Buddhist wife is much prettier than that princess wow kaka
