Chapter 56: Zhou Zeng Talks about Dajue Temple, Xuanhui Leads the People to View Buddha Relics (II) (Page 1/1)
With the audience and persuasion of the envoy of the king of Sinhala, after the envoy said goodbye to the five greatest kings of India, the ministers all discussed the construction of this Buddhist temple. I only heard one of the ministers say: "The Bodhi tree is the place where the Buddha became a holy fruit in the past and in the future, and Weichen feels that it is more appropriate to build a temple here." Therefore, the five greatest kings of India decided to build a temple in this place, and at the entrance of this temple, a stone tablet was erected, and the inscription of the inscription is recorded as follows: "Helping people without selfishness is the best hand to all Buddhas, and giving to those who are destined to help people is a clear admonition of the saints." In Xia Bucai, he inherited the throne by the mandate of heaven, and built this temple to show the relics of the saints, and the blessings and kindness reached the ancestors, and the common people, and the monks of our country can stay in the temple at will, and the monks of other countries are also the same. Generations to come, from generation to generation, forever. And this temple is now the Dajue Temple. ”
"In other words, this Dajue Temple has created a precedent for this Buddhist disciple to stay in other temples," Xiao Liu asked after hearing Zhou Zeng's words.
"Exactly, so to speak," Chen Maocai said vigilantly while holding the festival in his hand, walking in front and listening carefully.
Since this story, Buddhist monks have never been accepted for staying......
The group chatted happily and walked like this. It is precisely because of Wang Xuance's brazenness and fanfare this time that the escort along the road is also quite strict and compact. Although some of the eyes in the darkness had been watching them, they did not dare to act rashly. And this scene is also strictly presented in the eyes of Chen Maocai and Wang Xuance, they just didn't break it.
Before I knew it, it was some time again, watching the flowers bloom and listening to the breeze. On a sunny morning, they finally came to this Magadha country, next to the Bodhi tree where the Buddha had an epiphany, in front of the Dajue Temple.
Because they had already known in advance that they were going to come to this Dajue Temple to pay homage to the Buddha. Therefore, Master Xuanhui, the master of this Dajue Temple, had already led the disciples early and waited for their arrival outside the mountain gate. At this time, Master Xuanhui was also in his sixties, although his face was vicissitudes and his beard was white, he was wearing a beige robe, and he looked radiant and energetic.
After all, this Dajue Temple has a history of hundreds of years, not only the ancient trees are towering, but also this strong Buddhist atmosphere. Although this Kumarila went to the Young Buddhist Monastery to challenge, but because of the respect for Buddhism, the special significance of this Dajue Temple, he has never been there, so the incense here is still very prosperous.
Seeing Wang Xuance and others dressed in Tang Dynasty official uniforms and holding the festival, they solemnly came to the gate of this Dajue Temple. Master Xuanhui immediately stepped forward and gave a salute and said: "Xuanhui, the master of Dajue Temple, welcome the envoys of the Tang Kingdom to come to watch and worship the Buddha." ”
Wang Xuance also led everyone, turned over and dismounted, and saluted back: "Thank you, Master for your warm welcome." After some greetings, everyone was introduced into this Great Awakening Temple by this Xuankong Master.
After some talking, in order to show this solemnity, Wang Xuance deliberately chose to worship the Buddha sincerely after four days under the proposal of Master Xuankong, and for the rest of the days, he ate fasting and chanting Buddha every day, burning incense and bathing, in order to seek the essence of the soul and inner peace.
Although Wang Xuance and the others came with a mission and doubts, it is a pity that because of the tragic death of the beggar, they did not explain the specific content, so it is not easy to take the initiative to ask after arriving here. It's just a side knock and some short gossip from parents, in order to find clues. When they found out that this Xuanhui mage had no abnormal appearance for the time being, Wang Xuance was a little more stable in his heart; On the one hand, it was not only because he trusted this Xuanhui mage, but on the other hand, it made him feel that this Xuanhui mage was trustworthy.
Although this stability rose in Wang Xuance's heart, this matter was the first to be broken at the invitation of Master Xuanhui. As the noon fast ended, everyone returned to their respective meditation halls.
"Big brother, this morning, I have also carefully observed for a long time, and I have not found anything abnormal at all," Zhou Zeng said solemnly to Wang Xuance, who was sitting around the table.
"Big brother, since I entered this Dajue Temple, I have also been thinking carefully for a long time, and this Xuanhui Master seems to be the same as before, without any changes" Chen Maocai also answered casually.
"Yes, I have also observed for a long time, not only chatting with this Xuanhui mage, but also talking to his disciples a little, and for the time being, I have also found abnormalities," Wang Xuance said to them thoughtfully.
"You said this beggar, why did you specify that we should go to this Dajue Temple, but after we arrived, we didn't find anything." Chen Maocai said with a lot of doubts.
Suddenly, Wang Xuance wanted to answer again, but Zhou Zeng immediately stopped him, and whispered: "Someone is coming", waiting for his voice to fall, but listening to the door of the meditation room, there came a sound of light footsteps, with the sound of "knock knock".
But this week, I casually asked, "Who?" ”
"It's the old monk me, Xuanhui, is Wang Changshi here?"
Hearing that Master Xuanhui came in person, this Wang Xuance hurriedly led the two of them to get up and personally opened the door of the meditation room: "Just let the attendant pass it, how can I let the Master go to my meditation hall in person?" Wang Xuance said to them politely......
"Alas, Wang Changshi is an envoy of the kingdom, and the king also specially sent an order to let me treat each other warmly, how can the old monk work for you?" Master Xuanhui said modestly.
"Mage, please come into the house?" Wang Xuance turned around and prepared to invite the mage into the room to talk.
However, the Xuanhui Master smiled and said: "No, I don't know if Wang Changshi has something to do at this time, if there is nothing to do, then follow the old monk to temporarily familiarize himself with the relics of the Buddha that need to be respected, so as to prevent mistakes and avoid disrespect for the Buddha, okay?" ”
Hearing that the mage was so careful, Wang Xuance and the others naturally had no reason to decide, so they happily agreed to Master Xuankong's suggestion: "This is very good, thank you for the mage's kindness."
"In that case, then let's go" Master Xuankong then led Wang Xuance, Zhou Zeng, and Chen Maocai out of this Dajue Temple, and the first to come to this Bodhi tree......
But seeing this Bodhi tree, after thousands of years of wind and frost, it is not only luxuriant, but also quite stout. Looking at such a tall ancient tree, Wang Xuance couldn't help but think of the Yellow Emperor's hand-planted cypress in front of the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's mausoleum, which also experienced the wind and frost a few years ago and felt the fundamental context of culture. Just like the roots of Buddhism, under this Bodhi tree; The roots of the Chinese nation originated from this Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor.
Trees are one of the most intuitive and purposeful feelings. Although the cultural context is different, the direction of development is even different, but the meaning of the revelation is figured out. But when I saw this Bodhi tree, it was surrounded by a small city with a circumference of about five hundred paces. Although it seems that this linden tree is very strong, if you look closely, it seems that you have found some small reasons...
