Chapter 46: Kanoji Temple Talks About Relics Again, Sincerely Make a Wish in Front of the Buddha Statue (Part II)
"Hey, where is this master, Xuan Ce has never done this thing of stealing chickens and dogs, this is not only the quality of a country, but also the mission of the envoy, if so, how can you make friends with these countries, how can you convince others. At that time, this Buddha tooth relic was repeatedly given by this precept and sage master, and Xuan Ce had no choice but to bring it back to Datang. Now in my Datang, I also bless our thousands of people and shine brightly. Wang Xuance told the truth......
"Haha, so, the old monk categorically feels that Wang Changshi is not such a person, I don't know if you have ever inquired about the whereabouts of these two treasures on your mission to these five Indias?"
"To be honest, nearly two years have passed now, and we have also traveled through many mountains and rivers in these five Indias, openly or secretly, from time to time, but have not found the slightest trace of it, so I also deeply regret it, I only hope that this Buddha's treasure, do not cover the dust......" Wang Xuance replied with a trace of worry.
"Wang Changshi can rest assured that this Buddha's supreme treasure has never been dusty and indestructible, which means that nothing can be destroyed. Since he has disappeared in my five Indias, I think he is secretly looking for this country where Buddhism flourishes, and where the light of the Buddha shines and protects thousands of people. ”
"So Very Good"
But seeing this Xingming Master, he paused for a moment, and then thought about it: "Actually, after hearing Wang Changshi's words just now, and after so many years of contact, the old monk really thinks that these two Buddhist treasures can also flow to the Tang Dynasty like this Buddha tooth relic." ”
Hearing his words, Wang Xuance and the others were also stunned, what does this mean, is it to test them, although Wang Xuance is not sure for a while, but he still thinks in his heart and tells the truth: "What does the master mean by this?" These two treasures are sacred relics of Buddhism, and my Tang Kingdom can never afford this glory. ”
"Alas, Wang Changshi must not mind, this is the old monk's heartfelt words, now I five Indian Buddhism withered, even if these two relics are enshrined safely, they will not play the role of the Buddha's light; Moreover, your Datang is now unified in the four seas, the national strength is strong, and Buddhism is flourishing day by day, if these two relics can be transferred to your Datang, this Buddhism will definitely flourish, and the Buddha's light will be more radiant. And this is what the old monk is willing to see as a disciple of the Buddha, after all, the glory of the Buddha still remains in the world. Master Xingming looked at Wang Xuance and the others, and told the truth.
Hearing him say this, Wang Xuance also roughly understood Master Xingming's thoughts, so he also told him from the bottom of his heart: "If this is the case, it is really a blessing for my Datang." When we came, Master Xuanzang also told us that to find all the Buddha's treasures, we should uphold a good heart, and the nature that should belong to my Datang will come to my Datang, if it is not my Datang, even if it is snatched by force, it will definitely be a disaster, so please rest assured that we must uphold a normal heart and go with the flow......"
"Wang Changshi can have this state of mind, not only your Tang Dynasty is a blessing, but also a blessing for our Buddhist community, so, Lao Zeng is also relieved, go, the meal should be ready, let's go to the fast, please Wang Changshi taste my delicacies of Luye Temple" Master Xingming said to Wang Xuance and others in a soothing mood......
So, the group followed Master Xingming to the dining hall of this Luye Temple, and enjoyed a good meal, which can be regarded as the end of this tiring day......
It was another sunny day. This Luye Temple is not only because of the age, but also because it has always been the place where the Buddha lived, so this temple is quite grand after so many years of construction, until now the eight courtyards are connected, the pavilions and pavilions are stacked on top of each other, not only gorgeous, but also quite majestic. On the whole, it is no worse than the king's palace of some small countries in these five Indians. So, on the whole, this is the most prosperous temple of the five existing incense temples in India.
I saw today's morning sun, a red halo, shrouded in the sky over the entire Kaye Temple, a lot of birds, also in the sky above the Kaye Temple, hovering around, feeling the morning bell and the Buddha's sound bath, it looks not only smart, but also majestic.
With the completion of the chanting of the morning class of Master Xingming and others, Wang Xuance and the others also changed and put on various official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty according to their official ranks. After this breakfast, I will wait for the solemn invitation of Master Xingming......
After a while, I saw Master Xingming's attendants, walked quickly to the meditation room of Wang Xuance and others, and after giving a salute, he said to them with a pleasant face: "Wang Changshi, Master's side has already made preparations, and I implore Wang Changshi to go to this Daxiong Treasure Hall and pay homage to the Buddha."
So, this Wang Xuance led Zhou Chen and the members of the Tang Dynasty Mission, with the purple robes and the Seven Treasures Ring Sword that were about to be sacrificed, followed the attendants and came to the Daxiong Treasure Palace......
I saw that today's Daxiong Treasure Hall is not only majestic and dignified, but also accompanied by various Buddhist sounds, which looks unusual. Monks dressed in brand-new monk's robes, with their hands folded, stretched out from the entrance of the main hall to both sides. And in this hall, many monks and great virtues are wearing five-colored robes, sitting on both sides of the statue of the Buddha, waiting for the arrival of Wang Xuance and others with the most solemn etiquette.
And this Master Xingming is leading the two junior disciples, also wearing brand new robes, waiting quietly at the door of this Daxiong Treasure Palace. Seeing Wang Xuance and others coming with the attendants, Master Xingming immediately led the two junior disciples, walked over quickly, and gave a salute: "The master of Luye Temple is Xingming, waiting for the Tang Dynasty King Changshi to come to watch and worship the Buddha."
Wang Xuance also folded his hands, and after giving a salute, he said with relief: "Thank you for the master's kindness and hospitality."
After this courtesy conversation, Master Xingming led Wang Xuance and all the envoys of the Tang Dynasty into this hall. With the arrival of Wang Xuance and others, these many monks not only played Buddhist music, but also recited Buddhist scriptures. Looking at this tall gilded Buddha statue, not only with kind eyebrows, but also looking down at all living beings, Wang Xuance was also full of joy.
Immediately, under the guidance of Master Xingming, he picked up three sticks of incense, lit them quietly on this butter lamp, bowed three times, inserted this fragrance into the copper incense burner in front of the Buddha, knelt on the futon in front of the Buddha, and sat sincerely to pray and salute.
What happens next? Please see the next ......
