Last time, the old monk said this, but he only heard him pause slightly, and after sorting out his spirit, he said to Wang Xuance and others from the bottom of his heart: "But please also tell Master Xuanzang after you go back, you must learn the lesson of my Tianzhu's current Buddhism withering, so that Buddhism can continue to flourish."

Indeed, this is not only the fundamental intention of the old monks, but also their most profound understanding of the withering of Buddhism in the five Indians over the years. For example, although it is a sacred place of Buddhism, as the number of people visiting the shrine decreases, people can't help but feel pity like a desperate pheasant in a fire tower. But even if he is as strong as a pheasant in the void, where is the Buddha in reality? For so many years, there has never been a monk who wants to stick to this poor forest like him and maintain this pure land. Despite this, and despite the loneliness of these years, this is indeed a way of life that the old monk wants, and this is enough for him, because it is a kind of persistence of faith.

I saw that when Wang Xuance heard him say this, he also paused for a moment, because he felt that his words were very correct, and all affairs were not immutable, only by being prepared for danger in times of peace, drawing inferences from others, and learning different experiences and lessons, could he remain invincible for a long time. So he replied like this: "Thank you for the kindness of the master, after I return to the Tang Dynasty, I will truthfully convey the master's words today to this Master Xuanzang......" Therefore, the old monk was also full of joy.

Because they found that every story of this old monk was full of deep philosophies, Wang Xuance and others were also deeply touched and thought carefully.

The old monk led them to a nearby pagoda. Looking at this majestic and dignified pagoda, Wang Xuance politely asked the old monk: "I don't know the master, what is the story of this pagoda?" ”

"This stupa is the place where the Buddha's biological mother, Lady Maya, cried for the Buddha? After the Buddha attained Nirvana, as soon as the coffin was finished, Venerable Ah Nilou ascended to the Heavenly Palace and told Lady Maya all this. When Lady Maya heard the bad news, she choked with grief and fainted, and immediately came to this place with all the gods, and saw the Buddha's robe, tin staff, and purple gold bowl, caressing all these relics, and crying in grief, and after she cried and fainted, when she woke up again, she said to the world sadly: "The blessings of the world and the gods are gone, and the eyes of time are gone, and now these items are here in vain, but there is no master, alas......"

Hearing such compassionate words from Mrs. Maya, the Buddha immediately showed his divine power again, the golden coffin opened by itself, and suddenly the Buddha's light reappeared, and the Buddha sat with his hands folded, and said to his mother: "You have come here from the heavens, and everything in the world cannot always be there, I hope you will not be too sad." ”

Faced with such a scene, Venerable Ananda also wiped away the tears of grief and asked the Buddha again: "If someone in the future asks me about the opening of this golden coffin, how should I answer? ”

The Buddha said: "The Buddha has attained Nirvana, the loving mother Lady Maya came down from the heavenly palace and came to this woman's forest, and the Buddha sat up from the golden coffin and folded his hands for those who were unfilial."

Therefore, in order to thank the filial piety of this Buddha, later people built this stupa here to pay tribute to Lady Maya and the Buddha. In this way, the old monk told them word by word the origin of this Maya lady crying stupa.

Listening to these words, grateful for this filial piety, I can't help but let Xiaoliu think of his elderly mother, since Chang'an came out, this walk is more than a year, although more than a year, it is quite stable, but for more than a year, the mother's body is good, is it fat, or thin, I can't help but feel sad and cry out sadly......

First of all, Chen Maocai discovered Xiao Liu's uncalm state, and hurriedly asked: "Liu'er, what's wrong with you?" What's going on?"

His question immediately made everyone cast a confused look at Xiao Liu. Wang Xuance also hurriedly came over and asked, "Liu'er, what's wrong, have you encountered any difficulties?" ”

Faced with this scene, everyone also comforted the little six. And after Xiao Liu vented a little, he relieved this depressed mood a lot, and said slowly: "I miss my mother, let's go for more than a year, and I just heard what the master said." After the Buddha passed away, he was able to use his divine power to comfort his mother, but I couldn't help but feel so sad when my mother was in her eighties, but I couldn't help but feel so sad."

Hearing Xiao Liu say this, everyone suddenly realized. At this time, Wang Xuance also deeply understood the thoughts of each envoy to his homeland. And Zhou Zeng couldn't help but think of Cui'er and his own children with his words. Although I miss it very much, but after thinking about it, I still firmly comforted Xiao Liu: "Liu'er, the eldest mother has Cui'er to take care of, everything should not be a problem." Just relax. ”

At this time, when the old monk understood the reason for the matter, he saw that everyone had a kind of homesickness, so he explained to them: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can not be both, you came to me on behalf of His Majesty to worship the Buddha in five days, it is for you to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and this layman, hearing the Buddha's release, can't help but feel sad and worried about his mother, this is filial piety." Filial piety is not only companionship, but also constant thoughts, frequent care, and frequent concern. This layman, according to the old monk, has done a very good job, and I think I will have the blessing of the Buddha......"

"Thank you for the master's explanation" Xiao Liu heard these words, and his heart was suddenly relieved a lot. And when everyone heard these words, their hearts were also very happy.

I only heard this Wang Xuance relieved them like this: "We have traveled to five Indias, although we have obtained the most intuitive feelings, appreciating the most beautiful exotic customs, as the official envoys of our Tang Kingdom, in addition, we have also created this unprecedented feat...... Despite this, but I also know that each of us has a home in our hearts, this home is a small family, and it is also everyone, only when everyone is stable, the small family will be safe, Xuan Ce thank you! ”

These words immediately made everyone's thoughts of home and country once again run through the bone marrow. They all understand that this idea is not only due to the small family, but also because there is a powerful Tang Dynasty behind it. And this powerful Datang is built and built by people like them who do their best...... So, this joy and joy suddenly shrouded in this forest, above this weeping pagoda......
