The second time: the big wild goose pagoda in front of the Buddha Buddha Temple to seek tranquility (II)

Hearing what Master Xuanzang said, the four of them also smiled knowingly. At this time, I only heard Master Xuanzang explain to them again: "The revival of Buddhism in these five India is all because of the reason of the king of the precepts, it is his use of powerful force that converts some believers to Buddhism, and Buddhism will rise again; It may also be that the Buddha blessed that the Dharma should really be passed on to our Tang Dynasty, so that I felt here at the most glorious time. Since ancient times, Brahmanism has been deeply rooted in these five Indias, and the hierarchical system of cause and effect cycle has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although the two religions are self-contained, they are essentially the same, and there are not too many deviations. Therefore, they are happy to accept this rigid hierarchy. This is like what politicians often say, every place has its own special situation, and finding out the best and most beneficial to the people is the best system. And these five Indias, after many big waves and sands, may finally choose this Brahmanism. Of course, in recent years, since the death of the king of the sun, Buddhism has indeed declined a lot in these five Indias. Therefore, the old monk did not have the slightest concern. ”

"This is just like my Tang Dynasty, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, each has its own advantages, each has its own characteristics, one eliminates the other's strengths, restricts each other, and balances each other" Wang Xuance followed Master Xuanzang's words, and answered.

"Yes, yes, that's right," Master Xuanzang returned happily.

So everyone looked at each other and smiled. I looked at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda decorated with relics with joy, and looked forward to the future of this Buddhism to educate the people of the Tang Dynasty......

Time came to the Linhu Hall in this Daxing Palace, after a period of precipitation. Although Wu Zhaoyi was no longer there at this time, in the first few days, she lost the pain of Princess Anding. But since ancient times, tigers have not eaten children, and because of this, she often involuntarily felt a chill in her heart. A child who was just fifteen days old died in this lakeside hall like this, and he was ruthless to the emperor's family. I saw this Wu Zhaoyi, silently closed his eyes, and prayed in his heart: My child, I just hope that you will not be in the emperor's family again in the next life, you and I will be ordinary people in the next life, and your mother will treat you well.

Suddenly, a "meow, meow" cry filled the Linhu Temple. It suddenly made it shiver, and there was an endless chill. The apprehensive inner world made him decide to take his attendants and walked out of this lakeside hall, and involuntarily walked to the side of Foguang Temple.

This Foguang Temple is another small Buddhist temple built by Tang Gaozong Li Zhi when he was still the crown prince, in order to miss his mother. The location is on the west side of the Shenlong Hall in Daxing Palace, and the east side of the Ganlu Palace. It is also a three-entry courtyard, which provides convenience for the dependents in the palace to worship the Buddha. When Wang Xuance sent the second envoy to five India and invited the Buddha tooth relics back to the Tang Dynasty, at the order of Taizong Li Shimin, a wooden pagoda was built in this Foguang Temple to enshrine the Buddha tooth relics.

Because Wu Zhaoyi once went to Ganye Temple to become a nun after Emperor Taizong Bintian, and later knelt in front of the Buddha and made a grand wish: if he can return to the palace again and sit on the throne of this queen, he will definitely promote Buddhism. Later, she really returned to this Daxing Palace, and now she has given birth to a prince Li Hong, and was named Wu Zhaoyi, it seems that she is getting closer and closer to the position of this queen, so she is also full of endless good feelings for the aura of this Buddha.

But I saw her silently looking at the Buddhist temple with three courtyards, the yellow palace wall, the red palace gate, and two big Buddha characters engraved on the walls on both sides. Suddenly, she couldn't help but feel a sense of stability in her heart.

Then he gently pushed open the vermilion gate and entered the Foguang Temple. As soon as you enter the courtyard, you will be enshrined a gold Buddha who is not too big. Looking at this kind Buddha, Wu Zhaoyi gently picked up three sticks of incense, lit it, carefully made a wish, and bowed sincerely.

After some observation, I came to a large hall in the middle, only to see that in this hall, the layout is basically similar to the previous hall, but this Buddha statue is all white jade carved and finely carved. With broad ears, a majestic posture, hands on the knees, sitting on the lotus platform, not only the Dharma is solemn, but also looks down on all living beings with kind eyes. Wu Zhaoyi, still as before, picked up three sticks of incense, and after worshipping with sincerity and integrity, he made a big wish in his heart.

Then after another view, came to the last courtyard, this is also the largest hall of the Foguang Temple, in order to highlight the royal prestige, when the Foguang Temple was built, Li Shimin specially allowed this largest hall, with bright yellow glazed tiles. And this Buddha statue is a standing Buddha, about one and a half feet high, not only made of white jade, but also the solemn appearance of the law, kind eyebrows and kind eyes.

At this time, Wu Zhaoyi felt the bath of the Buddha's light, and at this moment, his heart had calmed down a lot, and his face had changed from the previous depression to a lot more flat. She still picked up the three sticks of incense, and after a dignified and sincere prayer, she made a big wish in her heart. Immediately after, she came to the wooden stupa behind the main hall.

Although it is the first time she has entered this Foguang Temple, she knows better than anyone what is enshrined in it, because after the Buddha tooth relic is invited back, this wooden pagoda has been placed in Li Shimin's dormitory before it was built for the time being, and Wu Zhaoyi often observes this supreme treasure of Buddhism here.

I saw that this wooden pagoda was seven floors, which was slightly higher than the last Buddha hall. After entering this pagoda, I saw that each layer was painted with colorful auspicious clouds, and there were many Arhat Bodhisattva statues to guard this supreme treasure.

Stepping up the stairs, I came to the top floor, this Buddha tooth relic, was enshrined in an Ashoka pagoda, at this time Wu Zhaoyi, looking at the immortal things left by the Buddha, the mood suddenly felt a lot more comfortable. I saw her, still as before, picking up three sticks of incense, kneeling on this bright yellow futon, not only made her grand wish, but then prayed for peace and auspiciousness. Then, the jade pendant that he carried with him was placed in front of the Ashoka Pagoda to make offerings to the Buddha.

After a prayer to the Buddha, as his heart was a little calmer, he walked down from the stupa with the attendants with a sense of joy. Looking back on his life, he entered the palace at the age of fourteen to serve Emperor Taizong, until he later met the prince Li Zhi. It is precisely because the two are about the same age that they involuntarily have this love idea, but because of the relationship between Li Shimin, they never dare to trespass. So much so that later, it was not easy to become a nun in this Ganye Temple, and then Li Zhi remembered that it was not easy to get to this day step by step. Although the means are a little vicious for the position of the queen, if you can become the queen, it will all be worth it......

When he was about to walk out of the gate of this Foguang Temple, he saw a small yellow door, and hurriedly reported: "Wu Zhaoyi, I can be regarded as finding you, Your Majesty is looking for you everywhere......"

The editor said: Wu Zhaoyi is about to take a solid step for the dream of the queen!
