The propagation of Buddhism in Qingming has been rather difficult, mainly because the land is full of troublemakers, many of whom harbor great disrespect, fearing neither ghosts nor gods, only revering Heaven and Earth. Those who do not even respect Heaven and Earth are also seen as troublemakers in the eyes of Qingming.
When encountering monks spreading wise sayings and doctrines, these people love to dig deeper, asking questions like, "If everyone chants sutras and recites the Buddha's name, what do you eat?"
Another question might be, "Where exactly is the Buddha Country, have you ever been there?"
Or, "Is the story of a certain eminent monk and great virtuous one something you saw with your own eyes? What does it have to do with you? Are you his relative?"
The disrespect is endless, sometimes provoking a monk who is not deeply cultivated to start spouting flowery speech, and of course, both sides end up in a fistfight.
