"I don't know what the envoy of the Kingdom of God is visiting us in India this time, what is the so-called matter?" Master Xuankong hugged Xiao Bodhi and asked Wang Xuance.

"I can't hide it, this time I don't want to come thousands of miles, just to see the holy relics left by the Buddha, sincerely worship the Buddha, and offer robes. Since Master Xuanzang promoted Buddhism in my Tang Dynasty, my Majesty and the Empress once again observed this Buddha's treasure this year, the Buddha's relics. That's why I have this heart to the Buddha, let me, on behalf of His Majesty and the Queen's sincerity, go to our five India to pay respects" Wang Xuance sincerely said to them the words that he should have in his heart.

Hearing his words, the old monk couldn't help but be stunned, paused for a moment, and then smiled: "The emperor and queen of your country are really people with hearts, it seems that Buddhism is also destined to flourish in the land of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Wang Xuance then returned: "Eat the king's Lu, for the king's worries, calculated, Xuance is already the third envoy to our five Indias, so he is also quite familiar, Your Majesty and the queen can only reluctantly let me come again." ”

While they were greeting each other, they saw a young monk come in and said, "Master, envoy of the kingdom, this meal has been prepared, and you can eat in this hall."

Hearing the young monk's report, Master Xuankong then said to them, "In that case, then please invite the envoys of the Kingdom to go and fast together."

Zhou Zeng, a foodie, was already hungry, so when he heard that this meal was ready to stop, his eyes were green. When he saw that Wang Xuance agreed, he immediately put down the shelf, followed the young monk quickly, and took the lead towards the hall.

After eating this sumptuous meal, seeing that the sky was already dark, everyone returned to the meditation room to rest for the time being. This night in this sparsely populated Lumbini Monastery, Wang Xuance and the others slept quite comfortably. But in this Xuankong Master's meditation room, I saw him tossing and turning, as if thinking about this, and it was not until the depths of the night that he gradually fell asleep......

On the second day, with the first rays of sunlight shining into the window in the morning, Wang Xuance and the others also woke up from this sleeping state. Enjoy the pristine fresh air and feel the fresh breath of Lumbini Monastery. After breakfast, I saw that this Xuankong Master had already come to them early. He smiled and said to them: "Since this envoy of the kingdom is here to worship the Buddha this time, then I will lead everyone to see the relics of this Buddha today, okay?" ”

"So very good, so very good" Wang Xuance and the others also smiled and agreed.

Still like yesterday, under the guidance of Master Xuankong and Xiao Bodhi, the group went out of this Lumbini Monastery, because this Lumbini Monastery is right next to this deserted palace city, and it is said that it is this palace city that is the first to see.

Along this deserted ruins, the first thing that catches your eye is the main hall of this royal palace, which is said to be the main hall, but in fact, there is only one temple foundation left. On the foundation of this temple, there is a vihara, and it is this king of pure rice that is enshrined in it. This King of Pure Rice is not only the king of the ancient Indian kingdom of Kapila, but also the father of this Buddha, whose surname is Gautama, and his name is Shoutu Tana, which means pure rice in Sanskrit, so after being translated into Chinese, he is called King of Pure Rice.

When it comes to this pure rice king, Wang Xuance and others have already followed this Master Xuanzang for a long time, so they know his status, although this Buddha statue is incomplete, but still sincerely saluted. And not far from this statue, there is also an old foundation, and there is also a fine house on this old foundation, which enshrines the statue of the lady of the king of pure rice.

"I know, for the title of this lady, we Tang Tu will become Mahamaya Lady," Zhou Zeng immediately said.

"You kid is finally smart for a while," Chen Maocai also praised casually.

"Indeed, what Zhou Jushi said is very good, and it is exactly such a title" Master Xuankong also replied with a smile on his face.

With Master Xuankong's explanation to them, Chen Maocai continued his words and said: "Needless to say, a retreat next to this should be the image of the Buddha born in the mother's womb. ”

"You're right" Xiao Bodhi knocked here and there with a twig on his face, and rushed back to Chen Maocai's words with a smile on his face.

Hearing that this Chen Maocai was able to say these words, Master Xuankong was also slightly stunned and said: "I didn't expect this Chen Jushi to have such a wisdom root."

"The master has won the award, in fact, all this has been clearly stated in the Tang Dynasty Western Regions of our Master Xuanzang, but the above descriptions are very general, and when I saw it today, there was an indescribable feeling in the place where the Buddha was born" Chen Maocai also folded his hands and returned the salute to Master Xuankong quite politely.

"I see!" Master Xuankong returned with his words.

"Master Xuanzang also said in this Tang Dynasty Western Regions Chronicle that Theravada Buddhism believes that the Buddha was born in the mother's womb on the 15th day of the fifth month, while other schools believe that the Buddha was born in the mother's womb on the eighth day of the fifth month, what is the difference?" Chen Maocai immediately asked Master Xuankong for advice on this question that had been reflected in his mind.

"As for the reason for this, the old monk has not figured it out until now, it may be because I am five India, there is no good text carrier, and they all use bay leaves to record words, so that there is a deviation in the process of circulation, it is not as good as your Tang Dynasty has always had paper as a carrier of words. The Buddha is an image of the void, no matter what day, as long as there is a good thought in the heart, there is a kind of support, it's okay, why bother about that day" Master Xuankong explained with his words......

Hearing him say this, everyone also felt that this argument was very reasonable. No matter what you do, why break the casserole and ask in the end, since it is wrong, or it is not clear, as long as it has nothing to do with the overall development of things, then it is just, if you can verify it, you can study it, and if you can't verify it, you don't have it. The existence of the Buddha is to educate people's hearts, make people good, have a kind of pursuit and sustenance, and this form of birthday is just this kind of carrier. If there is a Buddha in the heart, then every day is the birthday of the Buddha, if there is no Buddha in the heart, even if his birth diary is clear, it will be empty in the end......

At this point, Wang Xuance and others gradually felt a lot of Zen from Master Xuankong's words......

So, with thoughtful feelings, these people followed this master of Xuankong and continued to walk forward, looking at the place where the Buddha was alive, feeling the culture of the past, and touching the traces of history......

Editor: Believing in Buddhism and worshiping Buddha pay attention to the image of reality, and only the clear mind can be visible!
