The sixty-first round: Wang Xuancele Shijilong County saw through the world and wrote a travelogue
The traces of history are so interesting, when Wang Xuance and others came out of this Mulberry and many countries, they came to this Lumbini City. This city of Lumbini, after they entered this mud bhara, was another Buddhist relic that they visited.
Originally, they had no intention of continuing their travels, but at the intersection of this official road, a small novice was quietly waiting for them. But when he saw the little novice approaching them, he immediately greeted them. said with a smile: "Wang Changshi, Master is waiting for you in this Zen temple."
Wang Xuance was also taken aback when he asked this. How would this little novice know that they would be passing by here today? So this week, Zeng immediately asked: "Little brother, how long have you been waiting for us here?"
But the little novice smiled and said, "It's just here."
So, everyone smiled, and followed the little novice to this Lumbini Monastery. In today's Zen temple, only the old monk and the little novice are left. The other apprentices also arrived, and they traveled to other places to preach the scriptures. Seeing their arrival, Master Xuankong was also pleased to greet him and said: "I thought that Wang Changshi would come a few days in the evening, but I never thought that this morning the old monk lit three incense sticks in front of this Buddha, the breath of this incense is floating towards the south, and two short and one long, indicating that there are nobles coming, the old monk thought, except for you Wang Changshi, I have no one else in the Lumbini Zen Temple." ”
"The mage has won the award, I am waiting for this road to return to the Tang Dynasty, so I should come to visit you." Wang Xuance also returned randomly.
"The old monk knows that his life is not long, so at this parting time, there is a matter of urgency, I want to explain it to you, please come with me." As he spoke, Master Xuankong led Wang Xuance and the others out of the Lumbini Monastery and came to the solemn statue of Guanyin Buddha that they saluted for the first time. After a sincere salute. Randomly said to Zhou Chen Er: "Please two, move this Guanyin Buddha statue away."
Looking at such a scene, they were also quite surprised, why is this. But seeing that Wang Xuance also nodded in agreement, this week Chen and the others randomly used their strength to remove the Guanyin statue. As the Buddha statue moved, a dark grid inside appeared in front of them.
But when he saw this Xuankong mage, he immediately leaned down, took out a one-foot-square treasure han, carefully brushed off the dust on it, and slowly opened it. Inside is still a gold treasure. With the opening of this golden treasure, this Buddha finger bone relic was immediately presented in front of their eyes.
This scene suddenly surprised Wang Xuance, who never thought that this good thing would come one after another. Hurriedly put his hands together and bowed to the Buddha's finger relics, and spat out: "Amitabha"
But listening to this Xuankong Master, "Wang Changshi has been sending me five India for a long time, plus my Lumbini Monastery, after the old monk passes away, no one will come back to wait. In order to let the Buddha's treasure see the light of day again, I will give it to you Datang, only in this way can the Dharma be carried forward again."
With sincerity, Wang Xuance hurriedly excused himself: "The master's sincerity is really touching, but how can we afford such a great favor." ”
"This is not a favor, this Buddha relics are self-oriented to the light, not to mention that your Tang Dynasty has been shining with Buddha light over the years, plus Wang Changshi has traveled to five India for nearly four years, this character I have also heard the old kings of Sang and many countries talk about, it is indeed kind and generous, so I implore you for the Buddha's long-cherished wish, you can do it" Master Xuankong said sincerely.
But Wang Xuance was very difficult in the face of such a scene. But seeing that this Xuankong mage looked at Wang Xuance who was hesitant, he immediately knelt down and said to him: "I implore Wang Changshi's subordinates, if you don't accept it, the old monk will definitely not get up."
Wang Xuance hurriedly wanted to help up this Xuankong mage, but the mage insisted on giving it away, so Wang Xuance could only nod helplessly. After leading everyone and kneeling in person, he handed down this Buddha finger bone relic.
As they restore everything here. But I heard this Wang Xuance ask: "I don't know how this Buddha's finger bone relics were transferred to our Lumbini Monastery?" ”
I only heard this Xuankong Master walk while saying to him: "I think back then, after this Alona Shun usurped the throne, an attendant in the palace, heard that he was going to perform the Brahmanic extinction, in order to prevent the Buddha from being dusty, he hid all the way to Tibet, and after half a year of light and shadow, he sent this Buddha treasure to the place where the Buddha had his ancestral home, my Lumbini Monastery, in order to protect the second treasure from damage, the old monk buried it under this Guanyin statue overnight. It's a pity that this attendant died of illness not long after, and the one who knows about this matter is the old monk."
With that, he led Wang Xuance and the others to the tomb of this attendant. Wang Xuance was also quite emotional, and then respectfully bowed to thank him for his contribution to this Buddhist treasure......
A few days later, it was another sunny day, and the group of them said goodbye to Master Xuankong and walked in the direction of Datang......
Not long after Wang Xuance and the others left, this Liluoja had already received the news that Wang Xuance and the others had obtained two Buddhist treasures in this Sangji country and the Nibra country. Although there are quite complaints in my heart, I have nothing to do about it after all. Therefore, in order to relieve the cruelty of this heart, he waved his army to destroy the Sang and many countries, and since then the Sang and many countries have perished...... It's a pity that this is something that Wang Xuance and others only learned about after they arrived in Tubo.
With excitement, they walked in the direction of Tibet, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the country of Tibet. Looking at the majestic snow-capped mountains, they were homesick, looking at the thousands of lands of the Tang Kingdom, with mixed feelings, thinking back on their life's achievements, and making three envoys to five India, they couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. So at Chen Maocai's suggestion, such an inscription was erected to record their deeds. "In the third year of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty controlled the world, the Tang Dynasty was strong, and Emperor Taizong created a grand cause, unified the world, and was caused by education. Therefore, the envoy Zuo Xiao was sent to make Wang Xuance and other sons of the good family in Guannei, and after more than a year of difficult trekking, they crossed the snow-capped mountains, crossed the plank road, and sent an envoy to Tianzhu through the "west of Xiaoyang Tong". Because the king of Tianzhu was rebellious, he recruited the soldiers of the subject country, crusaded against the rebellion, killed the ministers, captured the king of Tianzhu A Luo Shunna in front of the battle, Xuan Ce and others followed the example of the Later Han general Dou Xian, Le Shi remembered the merit in this mountain, and the prestige of the Tang Dynasty was in the four seas......
This inscription still exists in Jilong County, Tibet......
As time passed, the group came to the Potala Palace in Tibet. At this time, the Potala Palace heard the arrival of Wang Xuance and others, and it was also decorated, waiting for their return, Princess Wencheng at this time, since the untimely death of Songtsen Gampo, has aged a lot. When the two met, they had an indescribable emotion. Although the atmosphere is very harmonious, everything seems so awkward......
In this slightly vicissitudes of life, Wang Xuance still told Princess Wencheng all the things he had encountered along the way, and Princess Wencheng also listened to his words with a smile. As the conversation progresses. When I learned that there were two Buddhist treasures presented to the Tang Dynasty by the Five Indians, under the pleading of Princess Wencheng, these two treasures were in the Potala Palace for the people to see for half a month. With the end of this view. Wang Xuance and others returned to the Tang Dynasty with these two treasures......
After many years, it was a few months of light and shadow, and along the prosperous Tangfan Ancient Road, Wang Xuance and others returned to Datang all the way safely. At this time, the Tang Dynasty had moved from Chang'an to Luoyang. I was glad to hear that Wang Xuance had arrived in Chang'an, and Empress Wu immediately understood that they must have done what she had instructed, so she quickly ordered Wang Xuance to rush to Luoyang Palace......
Later, she and Gaozong Li Zhi summoned Wang Xuance in this Luoyang Palace. When he presented these two Buddhist treasures to them, everyone in the court was amazed. After some explanation, Gaozong Li Zhi specially enshrined these two treasures safely.
When Li Zhi was ready to promote his official position because of Wang Xuance's excellent completion of the task, he politely declined: "The skill of Weichen's size is really not enough to improve, and being able to get these two treasures is due to the good fortune of Your Majesty and Niangniang, and it is also the heaven to our Tang Dynasty."
Under his repeated prevarications, as a last resort, Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu could only follow his wishes......
In the days that followed, Wang Xuance gradually discovered that in the years since he left, the changes in the Tang Dynasty court were too big, so he talked with Master Xuanzang and said: "Looking at our Tang Dynasty, this Empress Wu is a powerful character."
But I heard Master Xuanzang say: "So the old monk, over the years, he no longer cares about politics, and only wants to live the rest of his life in peace......
Four years later, in 664 AD, Master Xuanzang passed away due to a serious illness...... And because Wang Xuance has often received the teachings of Master Xuanzang in the past few years, he has realized the true meaning of many lives.
In addition, he often talked with his uncle Li Chunfeng, as well as the changes in the political situation, he gradually felt the momentum of the heroine in power, and in order to avoid being involved in this political whirlpool, he decided to write down the book "Zhongtianzhu Guoxing". Since then, the 7th-century books on the history of the Five Indians, which are on a par with Master Xuanzang's Tang Dynasty Western Regions, were born......
