The teachings of Ambry are very simple. Its purpose is to educate the majority of believers not to kill, steal, lie or commit adultery. Everyone respects Sakyamuni as the main Buddha. Therefore, in theory, Anbalism is a semi-folk and semi-Buddhist organization, which is very different from traditional Buddhism such as Pure Land Sect. This organization has one characteristic. They are often in a dormant state during the prosperous period, and even assisted by enlightenment. However, in troubled times, this organization will be undercurrent in private and begin to use its huge Christian relationship to resist social injustice and cruel racial oppression. For example, in the Yuan Dynasty ruled by Mongols, the Han nationality was enslaved by ethnic minorities. At this time, the White Lotus Sect rose up and secretly organized peasant uprisings against the tyrannical Yuan for many times, which dealt a heavy blow to the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the people were in poverty, and the White Lotus Sect was surging here. In the late Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the glitz of Kangxi's prosperous time passed, and the disadvantages of the rule in the late Qianlong period frequently appeared. The Anbaili faction organized a number of anti-Qing organizations to fight against the Manchu rule. Therefore, Anbaili religion did not exist only in the Qing Dynasty, but only because of lax government affairs and rampant corrupt officials in the late Qianlong period, which led to frequent uprisings. These uprisings, like a single spark, will eventually form a prairie fire!
In the Southern Song Dynasty, a monk named Mao Ziyuan founded the White Lotus Society.
The early White Lotus Sect still had normal beliefs. They believe in not killing, stealing, adultery, lying and drinking.
Because his dogma was easy to understand and spread, it was very popular with ordinary people at that time. Mao Ziyuan's fans also began to soar.
At this time, the Southern Song government was ready. The emperor was most afraid of this kind of organization that easily incited the masses, so An Baili was listed as a cult in the early days of its establishment, and then Mao Ziyuan was exiled. Although the founder was exiled, Anbalism, with its low threshold and easy to master, can join the team to meet God's super cost-effective price, which is widely spread among the people and even as far away as the north under Mongolian rule.
At the end of Yuan Dynasty, Manichaeism and merger, Han was both the leader of Zoroastrianism and the leader of Zoroastrianism. Under the slogan that Maitreya Buddha was born and Ming Wang was alive, they incited the Han people in the world to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty and make a splash.
After Zhu Yuanzhang came to power, in order to maintain his rule, he vigorously attacked the White Lotus Sect, but it was never eradicated. During Zheng De's period, Anbailism was further integrated with Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in China, and it was completely China-like, forming? No mom? What is the slogan for the new doctrine of the most high god? Vacuum hometown, no mother?
Once there is social change or careerists come to power, the powerful mobilization ability and mass base of these churches can be immediately transformed into various entity organizations, which is also the main reason for the frequent riots of Ambry Sect. However, because they are rooted in poverty, single class and lack of a clear struggle program, they cannot fundamentally shake the foundation of the dynasty unless they encounter foreign invasion or chaos in the world.
Today, Bailian religion has long since disappeared, but various religions still exist. The reason and development mode are similar to those of Bailian religion. Bailian religion is not unique to China, and developed countries such as the United States and Japan have also suffered from it. It can be seen that the problem of Bailian religion is a worldwide problem, and it has a long way to go to solve it fundamentally.
