Antique Religion Books, China - Buddha, Meditation  Again

by DerekDashwood

Antique religion books tell us Confucius felt there was no after
life. Jesus and Buddha did. Since 1949, China has been a nation
that is officially of no religion.

Yet modern China now is experiencing a rebirth of interest of a
deeper sense of meaning in life. And this is happening in the
more sophisticated cities on the coast where the new more wealthy
people with more education and learning are incorporating
Buddhism into their lives.

While the officially Communist government now ensures that a
member of state corporations is a partner with each foreign
corporation, thus taking the known ways of capitalism directly
into their system. And soon automobiles that look very identical
to a name brand American car is being sold for less with a cute
twist on the American name model.

And the people that work in the factories and the people
building new factories and power plants every week are working
hard and earning more than they might ever have thought possible
a decade or two ago.

And a fascinating series of events are occurring and the
government and the system seem relaxed about this, in contrast to
their previous persecution of a dreaded meditative group they saw
as a danger.

Now the China that persecuted followers of Christ but began to
accept followers of Buddha around the time of Christ,is seeing
Buddha being discovered again. Many on the richer coast have
security and steady jobs.

They also have more freedom and time to reflect. And many are
finding they feel empty somehow, and are finding the meditative
nature of Buddha as a calming way to feel at peace.

This is good news as the natural peaceful natures of Jesus
Christ and Gautama Buddha were both recognized as far back as the
Mighty Khan. Mighty Khan had given a scroll for the Pope to Marco
Polo. Marco knew the wish of the Khan was to have the Pope send
one hundred missionaries.

Mighty Khan had heard that this holy man Jesus was known as the
Prince of Peace. His people were restive under a Mongol ruler and
needed a calming, passive religion that would allow them to put
their faith in an after life so they could get on with their
duties in this life with less complaint.

Alas, the old Pope was dying, it took the new Pope time to
consider. His advise was to strike a committee, which they did:
they met annually, for several years. Until news came that the
Mighty Khan had tired of waiting and instead receive one hundred
missionaries of Buddha, who the Khan knew also promised a passive
faith.

And now this simmering faith that shows thin Buddha of India as
a emperor sized belly who is fully of China. What matters is that
those who find this inner spiritual process of meditation are
less likely to take up arms, for now.

That must be a comfort for those inside the Forbidden Palace: so
far no people of Buddha  have taken up the sword to force others
to their faith or slay them, as other faiths have done.

History has an amazing capacity to allow events to unfold in
ways that Marco Polo would fully understand.

Derek Dashwood enjoys antique religion books that can show how
small acts can lead to great or small changes we later take for
granted. Now antique religion has prove to show which ways were
helpful, and which were most vital, and we talk about it further
