Seeing this Wang Xuance, he immediately stopped, with a lot of doubts, and asked: "You also participated in this uncovered conference, and you also saw the Buddha finger relics at that time, why do we have one in the Tang Dynasty, and during the reign of the first emperor, we invited it once?" ”

Of course, this doubtful thing is not only Wang Xuance, but also Zhou Chen and the others, after all, they are also this party, and they know that this Buddha's finger bone relics are inherited in an orderly manner in these five Indias. Therefore, when I learned that His Majesty was going to welcome this Buddhist treasure. The two were also stunned, but they didn't explain.

Master Xuanzang, looking at the three people who were very puzzled, also shook his head helplessly. With a slight smile, after reciting the sentence "Amitabha", he said such words: "Actually, in this matter, the old monk is also confused, indeed, we have seen this treasure of my Buddha in these five Indias; As for why we also have one in Datang, the old monk really doesn't know. ”

"Then Master, why do you still promise Your Majesty to personally welcome this supreme Buddhist treasure?" Chen Maocai took the lead and asked.

"Yes, mage, why are you doing that?" Zhou Zeng also cast a very strange gaze.

But seeing this Master Xuanzang, the corners of his mouth also rose slightly, and he cast a mocking glance at the three of them: "Alas, the three of you, there is really no Huigen, you have followed the old monk for so many years, and you can't even understand this." ”

The three of them were also happy, and smiled helplessly. I saw this Master Xuanzang, while walking, he said to them: "The purpose of my Buddha's teachings, if I can express it in one word, is "heart"; In two words, it is "let go"; In three words, it is "empty after all"; In four words, it is "return to self-nature"; In five words, it is "everything becomes a Buddha"; In 16 words, it is "all evils should not be done, all good should be pursued, and self-purification of one's intentions is all Buddhism"; In layman's terms, it is "free from suffering and happiness, and become a Buddha". Therefore, all tokens are empty, they are just a kind of sustenance, as long as they can educate people's hearts and persuade people to be good, why not do this? ”

These words, suddenly, made Wang Xuance and Chen Maocai immediately understand and praise again and again. But Zhou Zeng, who was so coarse, was like a cloud in the clouds, and he didn't understand the meaning of these words at all.

"Mage, Mage, I haven't understood yet, you, you explain it again..."Zhou Zeng touched his head and asked.

Seeing such a cute scene, the three of them also laughed. saw this Chen Maocai, knocked him on the head and said: "You reckless man, you realize it yourself......"

So, everyone walked into Master Xuanzang's meditation room again and discussed the matter of welcoming the Buddha's finger bone relics.

In the blink of an eye, the second year of Xianqing began, and everyone lived a very stable life this year. Master Xuanzang, because of the welcome instructions given by His Majesty, I suddenly felt very relieved to be able to do such a thing in this year of knowing the destiny of heaven.

And Wang Xuance because he had no desire, so he didn't have to ask for anything, leading Zhou Chen and the others to assist Master Xuanzang, and he felt the sound of the Buddha every day, and he was also very happy.

And this queen Wu Meiniang, because of the landing of another big stone in her heart, after all, she went to this Great Temple of Mercy and Grace to make a vow, and there was also this thing to welcome the Buddha's relics, and her mentality was naturally a lot happier.

And Li Zhi watched all the military affairs in the court and let his uncle and eldest grandson Wuji deal with them, and it was too peaceful, coupled with the situation of ten thousand states coming to the court, and at the same time, Mei Niang gave birth to a third child for him, so this year was also very good......

With the end of the year, the winter has gradually gone away, a spring breeze is blowing, the grass is also revealing the tender shoots, the earth has gradually turned green, Chang'an City is still an endless stream of foreign merchants and foreign business travel. At this time, in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, all the welcome things have also been prepared to stop, just waiting for the arrival of this Buddha bathing festival.

And in the old site of this Famen Temple, except for the palace above the underground palace is still clean, it is still a broken wall. If you want to talk about why this Famen Temple is such a scene, you have to start from his past and present lives.

This Famen Temple is said to have been built in the eleventh year of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty (68 AD). Famen Temple is a typical Buddhist dojo where a tower is built because of relics and a temple is built because of the tower.

Since the wooden stupa was built, it has been worshiped by many devotees at that time. However, since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the land of China has been in flames of war, and various separatist forces have become one, so the wooden pagoda where the relics are stored has also been repeatedly destroyed in the war. The greatest damage was during the period of Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty. This is the first Buddha martyrdom of Buddhism in the land of China, "Emperor Wu destroyed Buddha"

At that time, the Northern Wei Dynasty had just unified the north, and in order to consolidate its position in the Central Plains, the whole people were used as soldiers. Therefore, Emperor Taiwu of Wei, who was determined to be martial arts, issued an edict in the fourth year of Taiyan (438), and all Shamen under the age of 50 were still vulgar to serve in the military. Under the persuasion of Prime Minister Cui Hao, he converted to Kou Qianzhi's Heavenly Master Dao, rejected Buddhism, and gradually developed into an action to destroy Buddhism.

Of course, in this calamity, the wooden pagoda of Famen Temple is also in danger. Buddhist scriptures were destroyed, stupas were burned, and they were left in ruins. Despite this, many believers continued to come to burn incense and worship the Buddha at that time, and it was called the "holy mound" by the people at that time.

In 558 AD, the descendants of the Northern Wei royal family, Qizhou Mu Tuoba Yu repaired the Asoka Temple and the Relic Pagoda. And in the second year of Emperor Gong of the Western Wei Dynasty (555 AD), the pagoda was opened for the first time to pay homage to the relics, and the Famen Temple became famous and became one of the four major Buddhist resorts in China.

In the third year of Emperor Wen of Sui (583 AD), it was renamed "Chengshi Dojo", and the relics stupa was called "Chengshi Dao Occasion". In the second year of Renshou (602), Li Min opened the tower for the second time. In the second year of Sui Yining (618 AD), "Chengshi Dojo" was changed to "Famen Temple". This is where the name of Famen Temple comes from. However, in the second year, Famen Temple was unfortunately burned, and after a skyrocketing fire, only the ruins of the tower base remained.

Tang Taizong Zhenguan five years (AD 632), Qizhou Thorn Shi Zhang Deliang built Wangyun Hall on the base of the tower, to the temple on behalf of the tower, the palace tower 4 floors. This Buddhist treasure was discovered, so there was a matter of Taizong inviting the Buddha to refer to the relics for reporting the news and observing it.

Later, although the festival was held with great momentum, the Famen Temple was still not repaired, and it was just a four-story hall built by Zhang Deliang. After viewing, this Buddha finger relic is still enshrined in this underground palace......

With the passage of time, the time has come to the first day of the fourth month, and the invitation to the Buddha's relics is about to begin......

The editor said: The true face of this relic will gradually be revealed~
