vs 564 Heart relics
One after another, until the seventh, inside was a gold treasure inlaid with pearls, agate, turquoise, coral stone, and amber stone, and inside the gold treasure was a small pagoda with a jewel top.
Chen Rui opened the small pagoda on the top of the orb.
In the small pagoda on the top of the pearl, some bead-like particles were found to be crystal-like, some were round, oval, some were not scaled, the colors were white, black, green, red and other colors, some were like pearls, some were like agate, crystals, some were transparent, some were bright, just like diamonds, and the number was very large.
Among them, what attracted Chen Rui's attention the most was a black-brown thing, a bit like a heart, but not like it, the size of a duck's egg, very hard, hard as King Kong, and a bit like glass texture.
On the surface of this thing, the refraction of colorful colors, like oil floating on the water, surprisingly, this colorful color constitutes an image of the Buddha sitting on the lotus seat, the Buddha is wearing a robe, the face is solemn, the ears are hanging down the shoulders, the eyebrows are slender, the eyes are slightly open, the head is a Buddha snail bun, the hair color is like a green bead, what is even more surprising is that as Chen Rui rotates this thing, the image of the Buddha sitting on the lotus seat has been appearing in the square of Chen Rui's line of sight, and the eyes of the Buddha statue are level with Chen Rui's eyes, Chen Rui saw the infinite nothingness in the eyes of the Buddha and the universe in his eyes.
If you guess correctly, these things are relics, bead-like crystals formed by the cremation of the bones of a Buddha or a monk, according to the Buddhist scriptures. The relics are cultivated through bodhisattva practice and the merits of compassion and wisdom such as 'precepts and wisdom'
The black-brown thing is a heart relic. The heart burns for a long time, from soft to hard, and becomes a huge miraculous relic.
Chen Rui made a rough inventory of the relics in the Little Golden Pagoda.
There are about 1,000 bead-shaped crystallized relics, and one heart relic.
According to the information recorded on the previous four stone tablets, this is the secret room of the underground palace where the relics of the Buddha are enshrined in the country of Vaishali, so these relics can be determined to be the relics of the Buddha Shakyamuni.
It is estimated that there are more than 1,000 relics of Buddha Shakyamuni. And once the heart relics the size of duck eggs are born, the whole world will be shocked, and the followers of Buddhism will almost go crazy.
You know, what are these things, the relics left by the Buddha Shakyamuni after Nirvana, which are the supreme treasure of Buddhism, the sacred relics of Buddhism.
Very remarkable stuff.
Each relic is very rare and unusual, and it is eligible to build a separate pagoda to worship, and it is recorded that Emperor Ashoka built 84,000 pagodas to enshrine the 84,000 relics left behind after the Buddha's Nirvana.
About. The Buddha's relics have been passed down to the gods, and almost every "Buddhist Classics" has a lot of records about the Buddha's relics. "The Great Nirvana Sutra", "The Orthodoxy of the Liberation Gate", "The Legend of Luoyang Jialan", "The Legend of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" written by Tang Xuanzang.
From ancient times to modern times, India, China, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Buddhist countries, Buddhists have no pair of Buddha's relics to worship, the whole country to build relics pagoda to worship the Buddha's relics, up to the emperor, kings, down to ordinary civilians, the whole country held a grand relics ceremony, in history, the record of the Buddha's relics, around the Buddha's relics of the competition for bloody storms, turning the scriptures, I don't know how many countries, how many city-states were destroyed.
In ancient times, the relics of the Buddha were priceless, treasure-level things, and in modern times, they are even more treasures of Buddhism.
Chen Rui put the stone tablet of the second gate, the white jade spirit tent, the white marble stone tower, the treasure letter, and the gold and silver jewelry into the pregnant sea pearl space, together with the wall engraved with ancient Indian characters, lions, Buddha reliefs, the stone door was also cut off by Chen Rui with the sword of the sun, and included in the pregnant sea pearl space, these are all valuable cultural relics, in particular, the stone tablet, the white jade spirit tent, the white jade stone tower, the treasure letter, can be regarded as a national treasure of India.
After confirming that nothing was missing, Chen Rui left the underground palace.
After taking a break and eating something casually to fill his stomach, Chen Rui turned on the computer.
Click on the list of ancient Indian characters that I downloaded yesterday and translate the words on the tablets, tablets, and walls one by one.
It took Chen Rui four days.
The words on the stone slabs, stone tablets, and the walls of the underground palace were all translated.
Chen Rui had some clear veins in his mind about the relics pagoda, the underground palace, and the Buddha's relics hidden in the underground palace.
In the middle of the 5th century B.C., after the Buddha was destroyed, the eight countries to the Buddha's cremation place held the corpse of the city to compete for the Buddha's relics, at first, the local Mora people refused to give, the eight countries sent troops and tried to rob by force, later, Tuluna mediated from it, suggested to divide the relics evenly to avoid causing war, this proposal was accepted by the eight countries, after the countries were divided into the relics, they were all brought back to the country to build a pagoda to worship, Tuluna brought back the empty bottle that had been filled with the relics, and also built a pagoda to place the worship, and the late Peacock King could get the relics, I had to bring back the gray charcoal left behind after the Buddha to build a pagoda for worship, as it is: a text on the stone slab, "Eight kings from the eight towers, the golden bottle and the ash charcoal, such as Yan Futi, such as from the ten towers." ”
As one of the eight kingdoms, Vaishali was given a heart relic, and 1/8 of the other relics, the number was more than 10,000 relics, the large ones were the size of a husked rice grain, and the small ones were only the size of mustard seeds.
Soon after the death of Shakyamuni Buddha, India invaded and strife continuously, and the struggle between different races and pagan religions also emerged in endlessly, the struggle between Brahmanism and Buddhism in ancient India was extremely sharp, and the policy of all-round cruel attack and destruction of Buddhism was carried out, destroying more than 800 stupas in the territory, killing monks and nuns, destroying Buddhism, the history of Buddhism is called the Dharma martyrdom in Central India, and the Dharma forced some monks and nuns to snatch the Buddha relics from the stupa and fled to various places, in order to protect the Buddha relics from being robbed in the escape, some monks even cut the skin and flesh, and hid the relics in, and then stitch it up and escape from the country.
In order to protect the relics, the king of Vaishali built a secret underground palace secret room under the relics pagoda, and hid the heart relics and some other relics in the underground palace secret room.
Later events, stone slabs, steles, and the writing on the walls of the underground palace are not recorded. (To be continued.) )
