Seeing that the people pricked up their ears and prepared to wash and listen, they heard this Kumoriro say to them: "Once upon a time, there was a female deer who lived in seclusion in the deep valley of the mountains and rocks, and after bathing in the clear water of the river in the middle of spring and February, she drank the water of the river downstream. Soon after, a woman was born due to induction. Although this woman is very beautiful, but unfortunately the feet are deer's feet, to put it bluntly, they are like deer bodies.

Later, an immortal took the woman in and raised her to adulthood. One day, as soon as it had rained, the rain had extinguished the fire they had kept, so the immortal asked her to go out and borrow the fire. The woman then came to the cottage of another immortal. It is also strange to say that when this woman came along the way, lotus flowers appeared on her footprints. Seeing this scene, the immortal who was borrowed from the fire was deeply surprised, so he said to her: "Please walk around my grass house, so that we can give you the fire."

So, the deer girl did as the fairy wanted, and then she got the fire. On the way back, this deer girl is still like this, giving birth to lotus flowers step by step. At this time, King Fanyu happened to be hunting and recreation in this place, and saw the lotus flower on the ground, so he followed these footprints and found the deer girl. Later, King Fanyu fell in love with her peculiar appearance. In the following days, after earning the consent of the immortals, he took the deer girl back with the car.

When he returned to the palace, King Fanyu found a physiognomy to face the deer girl. When the master saw her countenance, he was taken aback, and after some careful consideration, he said to King Fanyu that she would give birth to a thousand sons in the future.

As a result, it didn't take long for the deer girl to get pregnant, and when she heard about it, many concubines in the harem also tried to frame her, but unfortunately, none of their plots succeeded. After her pregnancy expired, she never thought about giving birth to a lotus. This lotus flower has a thousand petals, and on top of each petal sits a son. At this time, the jealousy of these concubines rose again, so they slandered and slandered the deer girl, and they all said that it was an unlucky sign. So the king ordered the lotus flower to be thrown into the river and let him go with the flow.

At this time, the king of Ujayan was touring the lower reaches of the Ganga River. Suddenly, I noticed a yellow moire canopy coming with the waves. hurriedly ordered someone to salvage it. When I opened it, it turned out that there were a thousand sons. This King Wuqiyan was immediately overjoyed, he never thought that God would be able to give him so many children. So, he brought them into the palace and nursed them all. And what King Wuqiyan didn't expect was that when they grew up one by one, they were all extraordinary. Therefore, the king of Ujayan relied on his thousand sons to expand wildly into the surrounding areas.

Within a few years, the territory of this country was several times larger than before, and the strength of his thousand sons made these surrounding neighbors fearful. With their unstoppable momentum, the army reached the kingdom of the king of Brahman. When King Fanyu heard the news, he was very shocked and frightened. Because he knew that his forces were invincible, and that there was nothing he could do.

At this time, the deer girl had already understood that the enemy who came to attack was her thousand sons. Therefore, he said to the anxious King Fanyu: "Now that the enemy is pressing the border, and the kings and ministers in the country are not of the same mind, the concubine is willing to be loyal to the foolish and can repel this powerful enemy." ”

Although she took the initiative to ask for help so sincerely, King Fanyu did not believe her at all, and at the same time became more and more worried and afraid. The deer girl had no choice but to walk up to the city alone, waiting for the arrival of the enemy army. It didn't take long for the thousand sons to besiege the royal city of King Fanyu. At this time, the deer girl said to them sharply: "Don't do disobedient things, I am your mother, and you are my sons."

The thousand sons burst into laughter, and then asked her, "Why did you say such absurd words?" and expressed contempt and disbelief. But in order to verify the authenticity of her words, the deer girl pressed the two **s with both hands; ** After the outflow, it is immediately divided into 1,000 strands. Because of the nature of mother and son, these thousand shares of ** all flowed into the mouth of this thousand sons.

Looking at such an incredible scene, these thousand children also felt that this was their mother, so they recognized this deer girl. Then they laid down their weapons and stopped fighting. And returned to his own people. Under their persuasion, the two countries became friendly from then on, and the people lived happily, and the story of this thousand sons returning to their ancestors came from.

Not far from the Thousand Sons Guizong Pagoda, there is also a pagoda. Following the direction of Kumoriro's finger, everyone looked over in unison, and it was true.

But I heard Kumarila say to them: At this pagoda, the Buddha also preached the Dharma here, and he also told the people: This is where I used to see my parents, and I have returned to my own people, and I want to know who are the thousand sons? It's the Thousand Buddhas of the Virtuous Tribulation. ”

Listening to Kumoriro say this, everyone listened very seriously. Seeing their thoughtful expressions, the Kumoriro asked them with a smile on his face, "I wonder what you have learned from this story?" ”

Seeing that everyone also shook their heads and didn't know why, this Kumorira told his opinion from his personal point of view: "The story of this Buddha's birth is according to the earliest records, probably more than nine hundred years ago, when nearly two centuries have passed since the Buddha's death, and at the beginning of the creation of Buddhism, it was just a god, that is, the Buddha. Later, in order to advocate that this practice can lead to Buddhahood, and provide a channel for believers to become Buddhas, there was a polytheistic system, and the story of this thousand sons returning to their ancestors is the beginning of the polytheistic system, of course, this is also destined for the great prosperity of Buddhism at that time......"

Hearing such a unique point of view, Wang Xuance and the others suddenly realized, and felt that these words were also quite reasonable. It is true that no religion is established overnight, but there is a saint as an introduction, and in the subsequent development process, it is constantly improved and improved through some real things. If you adapt to this society, then he will prosper; If it remains unchanged and does not adapt to this society, then it is destined to be abandoned by this society; Isn't this exactly what many religions have risen and fallen in the land of these five Indias?

With the completion of this view, this Kumorira led them in turn to view the lecture hall of this important pavilion. This lecture hall is the site of the Buddha's lecture on the Buddha's "Pumendharani" and other scriptures.

Not far from this lecture hall, there is a stupa that is the half-length stupa of Venerable Ananda. Speaking of this relic, there is a deep story. This Venerable Ananda is the cousin of the Buddha. Knowing the first, the virtues are possessed, and they are also well-read and memorized. After the death of the Buddha that year, he inherited the Venerable Mahakaya to uphold the Dharma. Guide and motivate the younger generations to be wholehearted for good.
