Cixi has such great power, why should she cry and bow down to the old monk Xu Yun?

Cixi has such great power, but she has to cry and bow down to the old monk Xu Yun because he is a Taoist. In fact, in ancient times, most people believed in Buddhism. In film and television dramas, we can see that the queen mother and the king often go to the temple to pray and practice, and they all respect the Taoist monks in the temple. Even a king should be respectful to these old monks.

Because in ancient times, these enlightened monks could not only preach Buddha, but also pray. In ancient times, people were superstitious and thought that these enlightened monks were the embodiment of Bodhisattva. So if they can be blessed by enlightened monks, they can be blessed with peace. Therefore, even a powerful person like Cixi should keep a low profile in the face of monks.

It is impolite to treat Buddhist masters, and of course you can't abuse power for personal gain. Therefore, the only thing Cixi can do is to move the old monk Xu Yun. Of course, it's a bit exaggerated to cry and bow your head here, but Cixi will certainly be respectful in front of the old monk Xu Yun. Cixi is also a Buddhist, and there are many Buddhist teachings in the harem. Cixi also goes to the temple to pray regularly.

Therefore, Cixi has great respect for this Taoist, just like the old monk Xu Yun. At that time, the Qing Dynasty had reached the late stage, and many foreign invaders were invading China, and the situation was very chaotic. In fact, Cixi has no way to turn the tide. At this time, she can only hope that Buddhism can bless her for a smooth Du Jie. The old monk Xu Yun was very famous at that time. Cixi wants to escape to the west, and in order to protect herself, she can have a pleasant journey.

Cixi hopes that the old monk Xu Yun can accompany her on the road, at least to give Cixi some comfort, to bless herself through this difficulty, and to bless the Qing government to carry it through. In such an emergency, Cixi will be particularly excited.
