Chapter 46: Kanoji Temple Talks About Relics Again, Making a Sincere Wish in Front of the Buddha Statue (Part 1) (Page 1/1)
"The question of this profound argument, especially your unique way of dialectic, has never been seen in my Tang Dynasty; However, through your well-founded persuasion, it has indeed opened Xuan Ce's eyes over the years. These days, although I have never seen this Kumoriro, but he gives me the feeling that he is domineering and unreasonable, if I can see him one day, I will definitely teach him a good lesson for the master, in order to relieve the cruelty of the master's heart, and to snow the shame of Indian Buddhism," Wang Xuance also said with a trace of complaint......
Hearing these words, Master Xingming hurriedly stopped: "Wang Changshi must not be, although you are an envoy of the kingdom of God, and your prestige has spread far and wide in the land of my five Indias, it is absolutely possible to teach a Brahmanical monk, and there is no problem. Although this Kumarila defeated the great masters of our Buddhism in these many debates, he is not a bad person by nature. ”
"What does the master say about this, he has already bullied you like this, isn't it bad?" Chen Maocai asked with questions, so he asked Wang Xuance one step ahead.
"Our debate refers to the process of debating Buddhist teachings according to the logical reasoning of the system of causation, and under this logical framework, if we fail, this failure will also convince us. Therefore, this cannot be said to be bullying, although he came to provoke my Kanoji Temple, but since the mountain gate was closed, he has not appeared. Of course, the most important thing is that the old monk's skills are not as good as others, so I implore Wang Changshi that if you encounter this Kumorira, you must treat him well, this is not only the wish of the old monk, but also the wish of all Buddhist monks who have fallen under him. Master Xingming earnestly asked Wang Xuance and the others.
In the face of Master Xingming's request, although Wang Xuance and the others were slightly stunned, they felt that there was no reason in this Master's words, after all, this Kumori Liluo was also on the moral level, and he had not harmed these many Buddhist monks in this body or force, which seemed to be desirable. After calming down, everyone couldn't help but feel a strange feeling about this Kumoriro, and the thought of meeting him suddenly came to everyone's hearts......
"I don't know what Wang Changshi is going to send me to India this time, what is the so-called matter?" As he walked, Venerable Xingming asked them about it.
"I can't hide it, I waited for this mission to five India, it is precisely because this Buddhism is flourishing in my Tang Dynasty, we are in accordance with the will of His Majesty and the queen mother, come to our five India to see the remains of the Buddha, and worship the Buddha on behalf of him" Wang Xuance told him truthfully.
Seeing that the sunset was about to sink and the glow would also dye the sky, Master Xingming replied: "It's getting late today, why don't Wang Changshi and others rest in my Luye Temple for the time being, and wait for tomorrow to sincerely worship the Buddha, how about it?" I haven't seen each other for so long, so let's have a good chat tonight."
"That's very good, thank you for the master's kindness," Wang Xuance replied with a bow. So, he immediately turned around, and after instructing Xiao Liu to arrange everyone, he led Zhou Chen and the others to follow the master to the door of this meditation hall......
At the invitation of Venerable Xingming, the three of them followed the master and his attendants into this elegant meditation hall. I saw that this meditation hall was about thirty or forty square meters in size, sitting east and facing west. The interior of the meditation hall is also very elegantly arranged, and in the middle of the gable on the east side, there is a gilded Buddha statue about a foot high, which is enshrined on a mahogany table.
On the gable on the north side of the house is a couch, next to the door on the south side is a pair of tables and chairs, and in the other spare places, there are ancient Bayeux scrolls. Of course, there is also a square table in the middle of the meditation hall, plus four bright yellow futons. Under the courtesy of Master Xingming, everyone also sat down according to the original etiquette; Master Xingming immediately served one after another, brewed a few cups of black tea, and was kindly placed in front of the ranks, of course, this tea set is also very simple. But the effect of tea is no different from that of Datang's tea.
The first to speak was still Master Xingming: "I just heard Wang Changshi say that this Buddhism is flourishing in your Tang Dynasty, is this the credit of Master Xuanzang?" ”
"Exactly. Back then, after Master Xuanzang returned to the Tang Dynasty, the first emperor heard that he was a great monk, so he personally asked this question about Buddhism, and Master Xuanzang answered them one by one. In addition, when the master returned to the Tang Dynasty, he brought back a lot of Buddhist classics, so this Buddhism has the support of the imperial court and exquisite Buddhist teachings, so Buddhism is flourishing in my Tang Dynasty, and my His Majesty and the Empress of the Tang Dynasty today believe in Buddhism, so this Buddhism is currently a great prosperity in my Tang Dynasty. After Wang Xuance took a sip of tea, he replied to Master Xingming.
"This is the glory of the Buddha, there has never been a religion that can last in one place for a long time, especially in my five Indian land, Buddhism and Brahmanism are in the same vein, over the years, on top of this fundamental doctrinal issue, it seems that it is difficult to hide the decline of Buddhism, especially after the emergence of this Kumariro, the foundation of Buddhism among the people, is gradually dying out, so the old monks are often worried about the future direction of Buddhism. Listening to Changshi say this, the old monk was relieved a lot, after all, the glory of the Buddha still exists in the world. Master Xingming replied to the three of them with a pleasant face......
"Thank you, Master, you can afford to look up to me in the Tang Dynasty, our five Indias have always been the foundation of Buddhism. Dynasties also have changed from time to time, and this religion has also risen and fallen, since the birth of Buddhism, there have been many ups and downs, I think this time will definitely not be an exception, this is just a moment of depression...... "Wang Xuance comforted Master Xingming......
"What Wang Changshi said is very good, I hope it is ......"
"I waited for this time, on the other hand, to prepare to worship the two supreme treasure Buddha finger bone relics and Buddha parietal bone relics left by the Buddha on the land of our five Indias, but unfortunately, these two supreme treasures are currently missing, I wonder if the master knows their whereabouts?" Because he is also an old friend, he knows more about the person of this Xingming Master, so Wang Xuance opened the skylight and asked directly.
"This matter, I have heard others talk about this matter over the years, when this Buddha top bone relics were enshrined in the Great Jialan Temple of this calamity than other countries, and this Buddha finger bone relics were enshrined in the palace of this Qunu City, but unfortunately it was because of the extinction of Alona Shun ten years ago, and the usurpation of power, it disappeared, these old monks have also inquired about the whereabouts of these two treasures, but unfortunately they still have not obtained the slightest clue, at that time, I still wonder if Wang Changshi brought back to the Tang Dynasty? In the end, I found out that it was not" After Master Xingming took a sip of tea gently, he turned his words and said to Wang Xuance and the others with a smile.
