Fa Ming said: "There are no two masters in the family, and there are no two kings in the country." Our Lady came to the world, Li Tang Hewei. ”

Wu Zetian suddenly slapped Long'an and shouted: "Bold monk, with no mouth to hide, actually dares to misinterpret the holy will of the Buddha!" You say that this palace should be the lord of the country, what is the evidence? If it's caused by nonsense, be careful with your head! ”

Hearing Wu Zetian's stern reprimand, Fa Ming straightened his waist and said, "If the poor monk is open-minded, he is willing to be punished." If I use our newly translated "Great Cloud Sutra" as a basis, I will inevitably be suspected of falsification. So, I will take the "Great Cloud Sutra" translated by Tianzhu Sanzang Tan Wuyu in the Northern Liang period as an example to illustrate this problem. ”

Fa Ming opened an apricot-yellow bag, pointed to the four major Buddhist scriptures inside, and said: "This is the old version of the "Great Cloud Sutra" translated by Indian monks two hundred and thirty years ago...... The Heavenly Maiden, Mrs. Shi Wang, that is, your body is. Thou shalt be in the Buddha for the time being, and you will have a heavenly body because of karma. When I was born and heard of the deep meaning, I gave up the heavenly form, that is, the female body as the king's land, and got a quarter of the place under the command of the king of the wheel. Be at ease, take the five precepts, be a good woman, educate the men and women in the cities and settlements to which they belong, take the five precepts, protect the Dharma, and subdue all evil and dissenting views in the outer ways. Thou shalt be a bodhisattva at the time, and he will receive a female body in order to incarnate sentient beings.

"Your Majesty, more than two hundred years ago, the Tang Dynasty had not yet been established, and you were not even born, so the predecessors would not be a fake for the people who would be hundreds of years later, right?"

Wu Zetian pretended to be humble and said: "Despite this, how can this palace be virtuous, it is difficult to convince the people of the world with the body of a woman. ”

Fa Ming said, "Didn't the Buddha say it? You are actually a bodhisattva, a woman who has manifested herself in order to transform sentient beings. Moreover, when we re-translated the Great Cloud Sutra, we found that His Majesty was not an ordinary Bodhisattva, but an incarnation of Maitreya Bodhisattva in the next life! ”

"Ahh The courtiers, who seemed to be watching a play, couldn't help but let out a burst of mixed feelings of exclamation. At this time, there was a person who couldn't hold back any longer, he subconsciously stood up and asked, "Doesn't Maitreya Bodhisattva live in the Tushi Heavenly Palace?" ”

The person who questioned was the important minister of the state, the crown prince Taibao, and Luan Tai Nayan (the country's highest supervisory officer) Pei Judao. Seeing him come forward, even Wu Zetian couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and looked at Fa Ming a little nervously to see how he would reply.

Fa Ming replied unhurriedly: "The Bodhisattva's supernatural powers are vast, and he can be separated by tens of billions of dollars. Besides, Maitreya is a bodhisattva who makes up for his life, and when we recite it, we always call Maitreya Bodhisattva 'Maitreya Buddha in the next life', because Maitreya Buddha belongs to the future Buddha in the past, present, and future three Buddhas, and the Buddha Shakyamuni personally appointed him as his successor. He is in the Tushi Heavenly Palace, just to be born in the world, to reach out to all sentient beings, and to become a Buddha. ”

Probably inspired by Pei Judao, another high-ranking minister, Shangshu Zuocheng Zhang Xinglian, also came out and asked Fa Ming: "Buddha Shakyamuni did remember that Maitreya is the future Buddha, but as far as I know, it is clearly recorded in the Buddhist scriptures that Maitreya Buddha was born in the world after 5.67 billion years. Now it is only a thousand years since the Buddha's nirvana, I don't know if Shakyamuni Buddha was wrong, or did you miscalculate? ”

Yes, a thousand years, in any case, cannot be confused with 5,670 million years. If it is said that the Buddha Shakyamuni said it wrong at that time, it is undoubtedly slandering the Buddha; If Master Fa Ming is wrong now, the so-called Wu Zetian is the incarnation of Maitreya must be nonsense!

The ministers couldn't help but feel a slight commotion. People are watching Gen-la to see how he copes with this dilemma.

In this situation where he was so nervous that he was almost out of breath, Fa Ming actually smiled at Zhang Xinglian. Zhang Xinglian was a little furious by his laughter, and hurriedly asked, "Master, why are you laughing if you don't answer the old man's question?" ”
