Chapter 45: The Monk
Wang Ningxuan had no choice but to go out of the palace to Fahua Temple and invite a monk. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the afternoon, Rui'er got the news and came in and said to Yun Tian: "Niangniang, the Queen Mother ordered all palace concubines to go to the Heavenly Pavilion to listen to the chanting of the monks who have just entered the palace, and everyone must participate!" ”
Yun Tian was slightly shocked when he heard this: "Didn't the emperor say when he came over last night that he wouldn't let the queen invite the monks, why did the queen mother let us go to the Heavenly Pavilion now?" Could it be that the queen really went to invite a monk today? ”
Rui'er replied: "The monk who has attained the Tao is indeed invited by the queen to enter the palace, and the slave and maid don't know what the specific situation is!" The slave maid just got the news, so she came in to report to the mother! ”
Yun Tian sighed slightly, and said: "If this matter is known to the emperor, he will definitely be unhappy, if this palace goes to join in this excitement now, if the emperor knows, won't he blame this palace?" The emperor said that he doesn't like monks! ”
Rui'er was also very embarrassed, and said: "If it is something else, it is enough, now it is the will of the Queen Mother, if the mother disobeys the will of the Queen Mother, won't she offend the Queen Mother?" ”
Yun Tian was stunned when he heard this, if he offended the Queen Mother, it would not be as good as her life, Yun Tian frowned tightly, and said, "It seems that if you don't go now, you have to go!" You can come to dress up for the palace, just be more elegant! ”
Rui'er quickly helped Yun Tian get things right.
Yun Tilt came to the Prayer Heaven Pavilion, the concubines almost came, the queen knelt on the front of the futon, Yun Tilt came to the queen's side and knelt, looking at the Buddha enshrined in the front, only to see a monk sitting on the ground in the front, wearing a golden robe, it should be the queen invited to the Taoist monks, behind him sat cross-legged several monks wearing crimson robes, probably his apprentices.
Yun Tian glanced at them lightly, recognized their faces, and looked at the concubines behind him.
They were all kneeling upright on the futon, their hands folded, some babbling, I don't know what they were reading?
At this moment, there was a shout from the waiter outside: "The Queen Mother has arrived!" ”
The monks stood up and followed everyone to greet them: "Meet the Queen Mother, Niang Niang Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”
The Queen Mother, dressed in a dark robe, walked in, sat down on a chair opposite the monk, and said to everyone: "No courtesy! ”
"Empress Dowager Xie!" The crowd returned to what they had been before.
The Queen Mother looked at the eminent monk sitting at the front opposite, and asked Wang Ningxuan: "Queen, is this the monk you invited?" ”
Wang Ningxuan hurriedly replied: "After returning to his mother, it is exactly, he is the host of Fahua Temple, and he is the highest monk in Fahua Temple, Master Mingkong, and he is quite prestigious in Beijing!" ”
Mingkong made a Buddhist salute to the Queen Mother: "The poor monk is fortunate to see the Queen Mother, it is really touching the Buddha!" May the Queen Mother live a long life and be born for generations! ”
The Queen Mother looked at the bright sky, nodded and said, "Master doesn't need to be polite!" I believe that the queen has already told the master that this time the mourning family invited the master into the palace, because there are ghosts in the palace and are uneasy, which makes people panic, and I heard that the master is a high-ranking monk, so I want to invite the master to come in and do things to drive away evil spirits! ”
Mingkong replied: "Everything in the world has a cause and must have an effect, and if there is an effect, there must be a cause, the world is reincarnated, as long as you find the root cause, you can solve the problem, please don't worry about the Queen Mother!" ”
The Queen Mother asked, "What does the master think is the reason for the uneasiness in the palace?" ”
Mingkong said: "Amitabha, the yin qi in the palace is too heavy, some souls, even if they die, they have not been exceeded, can not enter reincarnation, because they lived in the palace before their death, so they have been wandering in the palace after death and cannot disperse, when the poor monk takes his disciples to pray to the Bodhisattva, chanting the scriptures to surpass the souls of the dead, and send them into reincarnation, the souls in this palace will naturally disperse, but ...... It will take some time to overtake the revenant! ”
Yun Tian listened quietly, only felt that what the monk said was miraculous, as if it was true, but about the matter of reincarnation, Yun Tian had never heard of it, and now he didn't dare to believe it easily, but the Queen Mother listened to it with relish, as if fascinated, I saw the Queen Mother looking at the bright sky, her eyes burning, and nodded at him, and continued to ask: "What the master said is very true, the yin qi in this palace is indeed very heavy, sometimes people die, and there is no good burial, let alone set up a card to pay tribute, I am afraid that the soul has not been sent to the palace of reincarnation, That's why I'm going to come out now to disturb the harem, since I want to spend the soul of the dead, what scriptures should I recite? ”
Mingkong recited a sentence of Amitabha Buddha and said, "If you want to send the soul of the dead into reincarnation, it is best to recite the Sutra "Jizo Sutra"! ”
"The Jizo Sutra?" The Queen Mother's phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and she turned to Liuli and said, "Liuli, what is the first sentence of the "Dizang Sutra"? Why can't I remember what I read before in mourning? ”
At this moment, Concubine Yu said: "Auntie, the concubine has a copy of the "Dizang Sutra" here!" ”
The Queen Mother was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and present it!" ”
"Yes!" Concubine Yu hurriedly presented it to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother stretched out her hand to take it, looked at it, and said: "This word is written well, it can be seen that you have put some thought into it, and you should be sincere when you treat the Bodhisattva!" ”
Concubine Yu hurriedly said: "Thank you aunt for the compliment, this is the concubine after bathing and changing clothes, burning incense and copying, it is definitely a sincere work!" Aunt can rest assured! ”
The Queen Mother nodded with great satisfaction: "You are a good boy, the mourning family has always known!" Not bad indeed! ”
The Queen Mother said to Ming Kong again: "Master, do you want to start reciting the Dizang Sutra now?" ”
Mingkong nodded and said, "The Queen Mother is so sincere, the Bodhisattva will definitely be moved when she hears it!" ”
The Queen Mother was very happy when she heard this, and said to the bottom: "You all close your eyes and follow the master to read together, if you don't know how to read, you will also learn to read, go back tonight, each copy a copy of the "Dizang Sutra", and bring it to read tomorrow, have you remembered it?" ”
The concubines hurriedly said: "Yes, the concubines obey the order!" ”
The Queen Mother was very satisfied and said, "Master, then let's start now!" ”
Mingkong recited Amitabha Buddha again and said, "Yes! ”
As he spoke, he took his disciples to beat the wooden fish and began to recite the "Dizang Sutra":
That's what I smelled. For a while, the Buddha was in the heavens of Enlightenment, speaking for the mother. At that time, the immeasurable worlds of the ten directions, all the Buddhas and the great Bodhisattva Mahasattva came to assemble. Praise Shakyamuni Buddha, who can be in the five turbid and evil worlds, and now has incredible great wisdom and supernatural powers, subduing strong sentient beings, knowing the method of suffering and happiness, and sending attendants to inquire about the world-honored ......
The Queen Mother also recited along, some of the concubines below followed along, and some of them couldn't recite Amitabha, and Yun Qian couldn't recite it, but the buzzing sound, as well as the sound of beating the wooden fish, was very uncomfortable to listen to, but he couldn't interrupt it out loud, so he could only watch them buzz and read non-stop.
