Chapter 21: Listen to the Master Tell the Relics and Worship Sincerely (Part I)
Looking at the barren and dilapidated palace city, after experiencing the history of seven or eight hundred years, Wang Xuance couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, the once rich and powerful kingdom was not expected to be so depressed and dilapidated; Anyway, there is some popularity! It won't make people so sad! ”
Hearing him say this, the Xuankong Master smiled slightly: "Since ancient times, how can there be a dynasty that has been prosperous for a long time, no matter where it is, it has risen and fallen, fallen and risen again, and so on. After calculating that this ancient calamity has been prosperous for hundreds of years compared to the Luo Va, it has only gradually declined, and it is already possible. ”
"What the master said is also true, how can there be an eternal dynasty in this world? Even in my country, the longest dynasty in the land of China is only about 400 years, and many cities have ups and downs," Wang Xuance then replied.
"Yes, throughout the context of this history, in the final analysis, this is all a man-made disaster, if the world is peaceful, the people live in peace, how can this Lumbini city be so dilapidated, when we enter the city, looking at the many barren fields, I asked a young people, his explanation can't help but make people's hearts ache" Chen Maocai continued his words, while walking again.
"What did this man say, would you like to hear about it?" Master Xuankong pulled Xiao Bodhi and asked while walking.
He said that it was not that they did not want to cultivate too many fields, but that they were afraid that they would become rich, and the war would again lead them into endless wars. Zhou Zeng took the lead and explained to Master Xuankong.
"He's right, the people here are so helpless, the main reason is that the country is too small, divided, fighting every day, but fortunately, in these years, my Lumbini City, under the rule of King Deva, has lived a lot, but unfortunately it is the hearts of the people, it is difficult to correct it, after all, after hundreds of years of disturbance, I have long been afraid." Master Xuankong also replied with endless bitterness.
Yes, this discussion seems to have finally made people feel the benefits of a unified country, a strong country. The context of history is sometimes so helpless, so speechless, but what can it be? You can wake up a sleeping person, but you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep......
As they spoke, they came to a stupa in the northeast of the Buddha's reincarnation. The stupa was also built on the site of the former palace. In fact, these buildings, statues, are the later people looking at the barren palace city, feel sad, feel that the former Buddhist holy land, now become so dilapidated, in order to show remembrance, they have built these pagodas one after another, the house.
This pagoda is not too high, about two zhang, but it is a brick pagoda. Although it was built later, it looks like it has been quite old, and it has been exposed to wind and rain, and it has long been covered with moss.
"When you arrive, please see, the envoys of the kingdom, this pagoda was built to commemorate this Azido immortal." Master Xuankong pointed to them while pulling the little Bodhi.
"Who is this selfish immortal?" Zhou Zeng asked with words that he didn't know very well.
"This Azido immortal is a great saint before my Buddhism. And this stupa was built in the place where he looked at the Buddha, and on the day the Buddha was born, all kinds of anomalies appeared. At that time, the King of Pure Rice was also unsure whether this was auspicious or calamity. So he summoned many physiognomy masters and said: This son was born, and in the face of so many different phases, you must scrutinize carefully and tell each other frankly. ”
"In the end, what about the good and the bad?" Zhou Zeng continued to ask without turning his mind.
"Big brother, you are so stupid, this must be auspicious, otherwise how can there be a future Buddha?" Little Bodhi giggles as he speaks.
In a word, everyone also laughed. Zhou Zeng instantly became embarrassed.
But listening to this Xuankong master, he continued: "That's true, a physiognomy master at that time said: According to the prophecy of the previous saints, coupled with our careful investigation, this kind of different appearance, as well as the prince's appearance, demeanor, etc., I feel that the prince is a reincarnated holy king at home, and he is a wise monarch. If you become a monk, you will become a Buddha. So the king of pure rice was a little gratified.
At this time, he heard that the attendant came in a hurry to report that it was a private immortal who had come from afar and was waiting outside the palace gate to see the king. When King Jingfan heard that the immortals in the Heavenly Palace had come in person, he was also very excited, and immediately decided to go out of the palace in person to meet him. After the two met, King Johan respectfully invited him into the palace, where we now stand, and invited him to sit on the throne while he himself stood at his bottom. Then he respectfully said to the immortals: I didn't expect Daxian to come today, I don't know what it is? ”
Seeing that he was so courteous to the King of Pure Rice, the Immortal was also very happy, so he said to him directly: "These days, I was sitting in the Heavenly Palace, and suddenly I saw Zhongwei Heavenly God, dancing with his hands, and he was extremely excited, and I asked them at the time, why are they so happy." They returned to the "Great Immortal, I don't know, in the Zhanbu Continent, the first lady of the Shakya Pure Rice King gave birth to a prince today, this son will attain the Buddhahood, know all wisdom, and my Buddhism will also flourish in the hands of this son." Therefore I listened to these words of theirs, and came to your city of Lumbini to see it. ”
Hearing what he had to say, the king of the Pure Rice immediately ordered his attendants to send Lady Maya to bring the prince quickly. It didn't take long for the Maya lady to appear before them with the prince in her arms, and after some observation by the Azido immortals. I only heard him smile and say: "This son will definitely become a great talent in the future, but unfortunately I am already old and cannot catch up with his holy virtues."
Since then, the king of pure rice has also been very fond of this prince, and it didn't take long for him to be the crown prince, of course, in the end, this prince naturally got an epiphany and became the wisest person in my Buddhism......
After listening to Master Xuankong's explanation, everyone realized at this time that this Aziduo Immortal was the same past immortal as the Ancient Buddha of the Burning Lamp. So, Wang Xuance immediately led everyone to sincerely salute the three incense sticks in front of this pagoda. Looking at their pious state of mind, Master Xuankong also smiled and showed a satisfied smile while wiping his beard.
What is exchanged between people is the heart, and when the heart is delivered, he can break your bones for you; If you uphold the deception every day, you will only have fewer and fewer friends, and your heart will become smaller and smaller......
After visiting the ruins of the palace city, Master Xuankong led them towards the south gate of the capital.
"Master, where are we going next?" asked Chen Maocai.
