Chapter 795: Saving the Buddha (4)
Although the most prosperous places of Buddhism are in Chang'an and Luoyang, Shaolin has a pivotal position, during the Northern Wei Dynasty, the twenty-eighth generation of Shakyamuni's disciple Sun Bodhidharma came to Shaolin to gather believers.
When Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Buddha, the Shaolin Temple was seriously damaged, but then rebuilt, Emperor Wen of Sui gave the Shaolin Temple a hundred hectares of land, and the Shaolin Temple became a famous temple.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the thirteen monks of Shaolin Temple were rewarded by Tang Taizong for helping Tang Dynasty, and gave thousands of acres of fields, and called Shaolin monks monks monks.
"Master Huiyuan, this is Chang'an City, there are hundreds of Buddhist temples in the city, and there are about 8,000 monks!" The debater on the side respectfully explained to the kind old monk beside him.
Master Huiyuan bowed his head and clasped his hands and said: "Amitabha, after the two martial arts destroyed the Buddha, my Buddhist family suffered heavy losses, and the Buddhist family has such a prosperous situation in Chang'an City, and all the colleagues in Chang'an City have made great contributions!" ”
The debate took the opportunity to say: "It's a pity that the other hundred schools of thought saw the momentum of the recovery of our Buddhism, and they obstructed it in all kinds of ways, especially the Mo family, and they smeared the Buddhism many times in the ink magazine, which is simply condemnable." In this crisis of Buddhism, the Mo family will definitely not be able to escape its involvement. ”
Master Huiyuan did not answer, but calmly glanced at the debate machine, and for a moment, the debate machine actually had a feeling of being seen through, and he couldn't help lowering his head weakly.
"The Buddha is destined to be a person, not a sinner, and the origin of Shaolin Temple is built by a monk in Tianzhu, and the poor monk's mentor Bodhidharma is also from the Western Regions, have you really heard of the secret art of yoga?" Master Huiyuan said calmly.
The debate machine couldn't help but blush, and he couldn't speak.
"Debate, your Buddha nature is good, but your mind is lacking in tempering, don't let jealousy and anger make your Buddha heart dusty." Master Huiyuan pointed out.
However, the debate machine is young and proud, where can I listen to Master Huiyuan's enlightenment, and I can't help but slander in my heart: "You Shaolin has saved the Tang Emperor, your status is respected, there are many rewards, believers are all over Luoyang, naturally you don't need to pay attention to these worldly things, but there are three hundred temples around Chang'an City, how fierce the competition for believers is, how can there be a Shaolin Temple to live a nourishing life." ”
Master Huiyuan looked at the debater's uncertain face, and couldn't help but shake his head regretfully.
And at this moment, the hundred horses were exhausted, and the guard of honor continued for several battles, Pang De took the lead and came to the East City Gate, and saw Master Huiyuan who was waiting, and his eyes lit up and said: "Master Huiyuan came from afar, and he has worked hard all the way, and His Majesty's special servants came to greet him." ”
After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he once visited Shaolin, and Pang De once followed him personally, and naturally met Master Huiyuan.
"It turned out to be Master Pang Shi, and the poor monks have a lot of nagging." Master Huiyuan came this time to express his feelings to Li Shimin in person, so naturally he would not refuse this kindness, and immediately followed Pang De away.
When the solemn guard of honor rushed to the palace, the entire East City Gate suddenly became a sensation.
"This monk turned out to be the abbot of Shaolin Huiyuan, that is a generation of high monks! The monks came to the east, it must be for the sake of the court's proposal to destroy the Buddha."
"Shaolin is a famous Buddhist temple, it is the ancestral garden of Buddhism Zen Buddhism, and it has saved His Majesty today, so that the Buddhist family will be safe and worry-free!"
"Not necessarily, now most of the hundreds of schools of thought are anti-Buddha, and the two fists of the Buddhist family are hard to beat with four hands!"
……………………
All of a sudden, the people talked about it, and there were many people who were often in the East City Gate with emotion, and in a short period of time, the East City Gate witnessed the appearance of hundreds of schools one after another.
The gossip of the dispute between hundreds of schools of thought spread and made everyone happy.
When the news reached a number of temples, many monks immediately breathed a sigh of relief, with the name of Master Huiyuan of Shaolin, coupled with Shaolin's kindness to Li Shimin, the Buddhist family may be able to turn the crisis into safety, otherwise in just two hundred years, three consecutive Buddha annihilation, I am afraid that even if the foundation of the Buddhist family is deep, it will not be able to withstand such a toss.
They got the news that in the court, Fu Yi can resolutely advocate the destruction of the Buddha, but there is nothing to worry about, but the Mo family's proposal to save the Buddha is extremely sinister, once it is adopted by the imperial court, the Buddhists are afraid that they will always be subject to others, and they will put a tight spell on their heads, and now all their hopes are pinned on Master Huiyuan.
"This is a rosary left by my teacher Dharma, very spiritual, today the old man will give this to the Emperor, hoping to make the Emperor recover as soon as possible." Master Huiyuan stood in front of Li Yuan, who had already had a stroke, reciting the Buddha's name, and said with a solemn face.
Since Li Yuan suffered a stroke, except for one appearance in the big military parade, his condition has become more and more serious, and now he is unable to speak, his body can not move, and he is taken care of by the female eunuch of the full-screen palace.
"Bodhidharma Patriarch's rosary!" Everyone couldn't help but be moved when they heard this, even if the name of Bodhidharma Patriarch is a person who does not believe in Buddhism, it is also a long-term name, Li Shimin naturally knows how precious a Bodhidharma Patriarch's rosary is, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the treasure of Shaolin Temple, and now Master Huiyuan did not hesitate to take it out.
"Thank you Master Huiyuan for your generosity." Li Shimin said gratefully.
Although Li Yuan, who was paralyzed in bed, could not speak, his body could not move, but he held the rosary tightly in his hand, although he did not believe in Buddhism, and when he was in power, he also issued an edict to restrict the Buddhist family, and at this moment his life has reached the end, his heart is full of fear of death, and he will naturally use the prayer beads of Bodhidharma Patriarch as a life-saving straw.
"Amitabha, the Emperor Taishang is blessed with all the heavens, and he will definitely be fine, and the old man will definitely pray for the Emperor Taishang in front of the Buddha day and night." Master Huiyuan recited a Buddha horn.
Li Shimin on the side thanked him repeatedly: "Master Huiyuan's Buddhism is profound, and my father must be auspicious and have his own natural appearance." ”
Everyone knows that Master Huiyuan entered Beijing this time, must have come to destroy the Buddha, but unexpectedly, Master Huiyuan did not mention the destruction of the Buddha, after visiting Li Yuan, Master Huiyuan came to the Lizheng Hall again, and presented another treasure of Shaolin Temple.
"Lao Wei learned that the queen mother has always been sick with qi disease, and specially brought Shaolin Zhibao Da Hui Dan to come, although this Bao Dan can not cure the queen mother's condition, but it can bacon solid, which is very good for the queen's condition." Master Huiyuan respectfully handed over a beautiful treasure box, opened it slightly, and suddenly a medicinal fragrance filled the entire Lizheng Palace.
"Da Huandan?" Li Shimin couldn't help but be moved, "I have personally experienced the effect of the Great Returning Pill, I was chased by Wang Shichong and was injured, so I took the Great Returning Pill, and I was cured quickly." ”
Hearing this, Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but look happy and said, "Thank you, Master Huiyuan." ”
She has always been frail and sickly, and if Da Huan Dan can make her physically strong, it can naturally reduce the chance of getting sick.
Master Huiyuan prayed for Li Yuan, offered medicine to the eldest grandson queen, and the princes and princesses naturally took the opportunity to fulfill their filial piety, Princess Changle and Modon naturally entered the palace to follow, and Morton, who had been observing Master Huiyuan, couldn't help but sigh slightly, Master Huiyuan did not mention the matter of destroying the Buddha, but used human favor to the extreme, if nothing else, this time the idea of destroying the Buddha will definitely not be over.
