Chapter 165: Hongfu Temple

"Please forgive your sins! For poor monks, translating the Dharma is the top priority in the lives of poor monks. ”

"As for this Tang Dynasty Western Regions Chronicle, I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of it!" Xuanzang clasped his hands together.

He Xuanzang will not give up translating Buddhist scriptures in order to please a prince, whether the Tang Dynasty can carry out cultural exchanges with the countries of the Western Regions is a matter of the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with him.

Translating Buddhist scriptures is the most important thing for a monk to do, and no matter what happens, translating Buddhist scriptures is the first priority.

If you have the time, it's not impossible to help.

"The widow naturally knows the importance of translating Buddhist scriptures for the master, and this Tang Dynasty Western Regions Chronicle doesn't have to be written by you personally."

"The mage can dictate it, and it is okay for someone else to write the records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"This is also true, it is still thoughtful by His Royal Highness the Prince." Xuanzang said that he was so preoccupied with translating the scriptures that he didn't think that he could ask someone to do it for him.

"The mage came to see the widow this time, I don't know what it is?" Li Chengqian asked.

In fact, there is no need to ask, Li Chengqian can guess that Xuanzang came to meet him, the prince, mostly because of the problem of spreading Buddhism.

There is no need for Li Chengqian to ask, Xuanzang will also mention this matter, after all, he made a special trip for this matter.

If it weren't for the fact that as soon as he came in, the prince would have pulled him to ask questions, and the first thing he would have said was this matter.

"This time I came to meet Your Highness! It is hoped that His Royal Highness and the imperial court can make it convenient for poor monks to translate Buddhist scriptures, promote Buddhism, and purify sentient beings. Xuanzang said.

He knew in his heart the attitude of the imperial court towards Buddhism, although the ban had now been lifted, and it did not exclude Buddhism as it did in the early years of Zhenguan.

Compared with more than ten years ago, the imperial court has treated too many Shamen disciples much better.

This time, Xuanzang didn't ask the court to support him, but he also hoped that the court would not prevent them from promoting Buddhism.

"These are all problems, and it is a great matter of great merit for a Dharma teacher to be able to promote the Dharma and lead people to goodness, and naturally no one will hinder it."

"It's just that where does the Master plan to translate the Buddhist scriptures, and where does he open the altar to preach the Dharma?" Li Chengqian asked.

Li Chengqian will neither support nor oppose religious missionary work, and as long as they do not commit adultery and can really lead people to goodness, he will still agree to their missionary work.

As for how to do this, there must be regulations on this point, and it is absolutely not permissible for these monks not to pay taxes, occupy any land, or even affect the stable development of society.

Monks are no different, so they must be the same as ordinary people, they should pay taxes or taxes.

The size and number of monasteries must be strictly controlled, and the so-called Buddhism can be studied as a culture.

But it must not become a tool for monks to disturb society and confuse the public, this is absolutely not allowed.

As for the destruction of Buddhas, Li Chengqian also considered that even if he destroyed all the Buddhas, he could guarantee that Buddhism would not appear for the rest of his life.

Can that guarantee that Buddhism will not appear for eternity?

Even if you destroy the Buddha now, will there be no Buddhism in the future after you wait for a hundred years?

As long as the source of Buddhism remains, one day, Buddhism will still take root again in this land.

When the time comes, if there are a few more emperors who believe in Buddhism, Buddhism will be able to grow overnight.

Since you can't destroy them, why not keep them firmly in your own hands and use them for your own use, isn't it better.

"The poor monk wants to translate Buddhist scriptures in Songshan Shaolin Temple, where the environment is quiet, it is a good place to translate Buddhist scriptures." Xuanzang said.

"Songshan Shaolin Temple is indeed a good place, but the widow thinks that the mage should not be too far away from Chang'an."

"It's best to stay in Chang'an, so that when my father comes back, he will summon the mage, and the mage can come nearby." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness said yes! The poor monk translated Buddhist scriptures in Chang'an, but he didn't know where the poor monk should go? Xuanzang said, as long as it does not affect his translation of Buddhist scriptures, there is not much difference between Chang'an and Luoyang.

Daxingshan Temple is a royal Buddhist temple, and it is not a good place to translate Buddhist scriptures.

He didn't know much about Chang'an, and he didn't know which temple to go to for a while.

"The widow thinks Hongfu Temple is good! The master went to Hongfu Temple to stay for a long time. Li Chengqian said.

"The poor monk listens to His Highness's arrangement." Xuanzang said.

"Well, that's it, the master stayed in Chang'an, went to Hongfu Temple to translate Buddhist scriptures for a long time, today the master must be tired, today's conversation is here."

"The master will go back first, and if the widow is free another day, he will go to Hongfu Temple to disturb him!" Li Chengqian said that this was to pave the way for him to go to Hongfu Temple in the future.

He wanted to go to Hongfu Temple for nothing else, not to build momentum for his Xuanzang, he was going to Xuanzang's disciple to argue.

He wanted to see what real skills this debate monk had that could capture Princess Gaoyang's heart.

You must know that Princess Gaoyang is very favored in front of Li Er, she has always been pampered and arrogant, and her vision is also very high.

Ordinary people really can't get into her eyes, Fang Yiai's love is not the best proof, otherwise Princess Gaoyang would not have put a hat on Fang Yiai's head.

It's because of Princess Gaoyang that she hasn't looked at Fang Yiai at all, even if Fang Yiai is the prime minister's son, it's useless.

But then again, Fang Yiai really doesn't have any skills.

Fang Xuanling's sons, one is worse than the other.

Fang Yiai is also the most famous of Fang Xuanling's four sons, and it was because of Princess Gaoyang's derailment that he was able to overshadow his three brothers in reputation.

Otherwise, Fang Yiai is just a little transparent, who remembers him as an inconspicuous colt captain.

"Poor monk farewell!" Xuanzang got up, folded his hands and bowed.

Xuanzang left the East Palace, first went to Daxingshan Temple, and his apprentices and scriptures were still in Daxingshan Temple.

He was going to take them all to Hongfu Temple, where the prince had arranged for them to live.

After Xuanzang left, Li Chengqian was still wondering if he would go to see Xuanzang in two days, and by the way, he would go to see Princess Gaoyang's lover debate.

Well! This is a great opportunity!

It's just that by the way, do you want to give Gao Yang to Hongfu Temple, so that Gao Yang and the debate machine can have an encounter.

Since then, they have both fallen in love! Out of control!

Then, use the debate machine for your own use, and it may come in handy against the monks in the future.

Besides, he, Li Chengqian, is helping the debate machine and Princess Gaoyang, lest one become a ghost under the knife and the other become a resentful woman.

It's for the good of both of them!
