Once, when he was passing through a dense forest in the land of Magadha, he saw a little novice chanting a sutra, and after listening quietly for a while, he found that not only were the chapters wrong, but the sentences were also very incoherent and disorganized. Therefore, this Venerable Ananda missed the Buddha very much, but he did not expect that such a big error would occur in such a short period of time.

So he walked up to the little novice and gave him advice and guidance. As a result, the little novice smiled and said: "You are already old, what you said is completely wrong, my teacher is very smart, he is in the prime of life, I personally accept his teachings and guidance, there is indeed no mistake, it is you who is wrong."

Looking at the little novice who could not listen to the slightest suggestion, Venerable Ananda was also unusually depressed, so he turned around and left silently. Later, I couldn't help but sigh and said: "Although I am old, for the sake of sentient beings, I wanted to live in the mortal world for a long time and maintain the conquest, but helplessly, the troubles of sentient beings are too heavy to teach; Since it is useless to stay for a long time, it is better to attain Nirvana sooner" So, the Venerable Ananda left this Magadha kingdom and prepared to go to the Vaishari city.

While he was crossing the Janga River, the king of Magadha heard that Ananda had left in grief, and he was reluctant. Immediately mobilize troops and horses, and quickly chase after them. Thousands of soldiers and horses were assembled and stationed on the south bank of the Anga River.

At this time, when the king of the Vaishari kingdom heard that Ananda was coming, his heart was also filled with joy and sorrow, so he also hurriedly led his army to meet him. Thousands of soldiers and horses were then assembled and stationed on the north bank of the Anga River. The two armies faced each other, and the flags covered the sky and the sun.

Fearing that he would cause the two armies to go to war and kill each other, and that the people would not be able to survive, Ananda jumped up from the ship and flew into the void, and showed all kinds of miraculous changes, and then after Nirvana, he turned into a fire and burned his bones, which were then split in two in the middle, half on the south shore and half on the north shore; Therefore, the kings of the two countries received half of each, and the whole army wailed and wept for it. Each of them returned to the country and built a stupa to enshrine the true body relics of His Holiness Ananda.

After hearing that Venerable Ananda was so kind-hearted, Wang Xuance and the others couldn't help but admire a lot, they never thought that this person who had become a Buddha and became holy would have such great good deeds, so they were moved a lot. Then he led everyone to bow respectfully in front of the relics of Venerable Ananda......

After the view of the stupa of the Venerable Ananda was completed, this Kumarila led them to see the gathering place of the seven hundred sages. This place is a place to trace the origin of the Dharma. After the death of His Holiness Ananda. Many of the bhikshus in this Vaishali city not only deviated from the Dharma but also followed the wrong precepts, and at this time the elder Yashasha, the elder Sambogha, the elder Libota, the elder Sharo, and the elder Fujasumi were all disciples of Ananda, and not only had high prestige, but were also known by the public. At the same time, he also adheres to the Buddhist scriptures, laws, and treatises on the three Tibets.

In order to correct the original intention of this Dharma, Yasāṇa sent messengers to invite the sages to come to this Vaishali city to meet. At that time, there was one less, less than 700 people. At this time, with his heavenly eyes, Fuja Sumira saw that all the sages in the gathering were discussing Buddhist matters, and they were still the kind he longed for, so he used his divine feet to come here and gathered enough seven hundred people.

At this time, the three bodhisattvas said to the people, "Please be quiet, please think about it carefully, the former Great Sage Dharma King, in order to educate sentient beings, Nirvana, although a long time has passed, but the teachings he preached are still there. The lazy bhikshus in Vaishari followed the wrong precepts, and there were ten things that were not in line with the Dharma, which was contrary to the Buddha's path. Today, all the sages have a deep understanding of what it means to keep the vows and what it means to break the vows, and they have all been instructed and taught by Venerable Ananda, in order to repay the Buddha's great kindness and re-proclaim the Buddha's will. We should be united."

Hearing his words, all the people were saddened, and immediately they gathered the bhikshus and condemned and stopped them according to the Buddha's precepts. And the abolition of false precepts and the manifestation of the true Dharma.

After Kumarilo finished speaking these words, he immediately added the following sentence: "This is just like your Master Xuanzang, a figure who inherits the past and connects the future, and has also made due contributions to the propagation of the Dharma. ”

"The master is right, since Buddhism was introduced to my Tang Dynasty, it was also chaotic in the past few years, so in order to trace back to the source, Master Xuanzang was not afraid of hardships and dangers, and went to our five Indias to seek the true meaning of Buddhism.

Another few months have passed. With the completion of the view of the Vaishali kingdom. Wang Xuance's road of respect has basically come to an end. But I heard Kumoriro ask them like this: "I don't know what is the next step for this king's long history?" ”

"Since the Buddha was born, the Buddha Nirvana, the Buddha preached, and the place where the Buddha lived has been viewed, although this time it is to pay homage to the Buddha's relics, but it has never been found, and this time it will be more than three years, therefore, I also decided to travel here for a period of time, return to my Tang Dynasty, and return to His Majesty the Emperor." Wang Xuance said to him happily......

"That's fine, but please also ask Wang Changshi to relax, Ji people have their own heavenly appearance, although I believe in this Brahmanism, but I also know the concept of good retribution in Buddhism, you have come all the way, are adhering to justice, I want to be free of the blessing of the Buddha." Kumoriro also said to them politely.

"Thank you for the master's good words," Wang Xuance immediately returned the salute and returned.

"That being the case, then let's separate, your travels in this Vaishali country can be regarded as a temporary end, and the little monk's preaching in this Vaishri country has just begun." Kumoriro immediately said to Wang Xuance and the others.

"In that case, then say goodbye again," Wang Xuance also replied to Kumori reluctantly.

There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, so everyone is here to say goodbye. Because there are many Brahmins in this Vaishali country, Kumarila has been preaching the scriptures and teachings in this Vaishyan country since he was separated from them, and he has continued to carry forward this Brahmanism......

And with Wang Xuance's envoys of the Tang Dynasty, after hearing that he had just confided the words "return to the Tang Dynasty", their hearts were overjoyed...... It has been so long since this mission to the Five Indias that the thought of homesickness has long been in my mind......

However, can they really return to Datang as they wish? Please see the next ......
