Chapter 41: On the Parietal Bone Buddha Relic on the Way Back to the City Surveillance (II)
"Alas, I never thought that this Buddha relic would become a tool for unscrupulous monks to seek benefits, I think that this will not only be retribution, but also these believers will definitely not be blessed by this Buddha for such actions," Wang Xuance said to Venerable Yuanrong with helplessness......
"Wang Changshi said this very good, so insincere, how can he seek auspiciousness, so, after a few years, my Wuchang Buddhism because of this unhealthy atmosphere, embarked on this crooked road, and then the national strength was also depressed, more than ten years later, because of the cause of the war, this Buddha top bone relics, it flowed into the Great Jialan Temple of this catastrophe than other countries, has been enshrined, never thought that this time it was missing again, it seems that this Buddha top bone relics, in this catastrophe than the mission of other countries is over. Although it has been dusty for more than ten years, I think he must be in a certain place, waiting for his destined people, and Buddhism will definitely be carried forward in the country where he is waiting......" Venerable Yuan Rong replied generously and forcefully.
Hearing his words, Wang Xuance and the others couldn't help but feel more happy in their hearts, if this is the case, it seems that at present, the place where Buddhism flourishes is also the Tang Dynasty. In India, there is no seed to carry forward Buddhism. Therefore, they also deeply hope that these two Buddhist treasures can return to the Tang Dynasty.
So, the conversation ended in this conversation full of Buddha principles and Buddha machines. Wang Xuance and the others still got up and said goodbye to Master Yuanrong, and along the road they came, with the rubbing of the Buddha's footprints, they left the Buddha Shadow Temple, got down this small stone ridge, and walked in the direction of the city of Bishe......
Enjoying the scenery along the way and recalling the earnest words of Master Yuanrong, on this day, the group benefited a lot, not only gained tangible things, but also had a different view of this life.
"Big brother, after this contact, this Master Yuanrong seems to be one of the few virtuous monks we have met among the five Indians, not only speaking clearly, but also behaving elegantly, simple and simple, and superb in Buddhism" Chen Maocai casually said this sentence to them while pulling the horse forward.
"Hahaha, you've said all the good things, what else can I say." Zhou Zeng casually confided this sentence in order to make fun of this Chen Maocai, and then said: "Actually, I also think so, although this Buddhism is withering in this Wuchang country, but this harmony mage is indeed not ordinary."
"Yes, this Master Yuanrong is not only superb in Buddhism, but with my feelings, he is comparable to our Master Xuanzang, and in some places, he may be better than our Master Xuanzang." Wang Xuance also said to them thoughtfully.
"What about those aspects, for example?" Chen Maocai followed his words and then asked.
"For example, when it comes to Buddhist statues, I'm actually more inclined to be simpler. Not only in our Tang Dynasty, but also in these five parts of India, this Buddha statue is also very luxurious, although so, it can show the sincerity of the believers, but it also violates the original teachings of the Buddha, Buddhism teaches the heart, and the education is the inner thing, not the empty image in these appearances. Wang Xuance said to them while thinking.
"Big brother, this is very good, in fact, I think the same way. If this Buddha statue were simpler, not only would the limited funds be used to propagate the fundamental teachings of the Buddha in teachings, but it would also be more difficult to cultivate more young talents, and only in this way would the Dharma be passed down from generation to generation. Chen Maocai also continued with his words.
"Oh, I understand what the two of you mean, that is, it should be like our Confucianism, just hang a portrait of the Holy Master of Dacheng, and salute it every day, so that it is not only simple, but also sincere, and the offerings of all the people are used on this education" Zhou Zeng was also enlightened.
"Ah, we have always been coarse, I never thought that we still have such a high understanding" Wang Xuance couldn't stop interjecting. Immediately, everyone laughed.
In fact, some of their ideas are right, no matter what religion they do, what they educate us is to cultivate the mind and cultivate our character. This was true of Confucianism, Taoism, and the foundation of Buddhism at that time. Master Xuanzang often taught them that they must uphold a good thought, do not cheat people, do not deceive people, and do not harm people, do things in a down-to-earth manner, and be a real person, and they will naturally get the blessings they deserve.
Everyone walked forward leisurely. Suddenly, Zhou Zengji Jin discovered that there seemed to be someone following him. So, he quietly muttered in Wang Xuance's ear: "Big brother, have you noticed that we have come all the way, and people often follow, how do I feel that there seems to be someone watching us behind?" ”
This sentence immediately reminded Wang Xuance, so he quietly looked behind and found that there was nothing and no one. I only heard this week say: "Don't look at it, if you look at it, there must be none." ”
Faced with such a strange scene, this Chen Maocai immediately followed his words and said: "Big brother, during this time, I also felt this situation, although I have stared at it a few times in the middle, but I have not found any abnormality. ”
Wang Xuance heard this, thought about it, and happened to be a corner in front of him, seeing that there was no one behind, he immediately said to Xiao Liu: "Xiao Liu, you take everyone forward quickly, me and Zhou Zeng, Mao Cai is behind the break" After the words, this Xiao Liu took people and ran towards the front.
And Wang Xuance had a simple discussion with Chen and the others this week. With such a flash, he flashed into the dense forest on both sides of the road and hid for the time being.
Sure enough, not long after a while, a beggar-like person in the back followed the dust raised by the big guy with the little six just now and ran over. looked at Xiao Liu, who had already taken people and walked away, and then sighed at this corner. As soon as he finished sighing, he saw this Chen Maocai flying out and holding a sword on his neck. Immediately the beggar shuddered.
"Master, spare my life, I'm just a beggar, don't rob me, a beggar" The beggar immediately said these trembling words.
Seeing him look like this, coupled with this ragged look. This week, Zeng turned around and walked up to him, and gently picked at his loose hair with the tip of his knife. After some careful consideration. Seeing this familiar face, he was taken aback: "Why are you, say quickly, what are you doing with us?" ”
Who could this beggar be? Why did he follow them? Please see the next ......
