Chapter 405: The Power of the Bottom
Yang Guang is most concerned about the Buddhist temples in various places, although they have been built one after another, there are not so many monks and nuns entering the temple to practice and do Buddha, so although he was moved by Zhang Wei's words in his private heart, he still consulted Hui Lin during the interview, once he was determined to be the abbot of Daxingguo Temple in Bingzhou and the monk supervisor of Hebei, if the family Hao right obstructed the slaves and customers in his door to practice, how would he respond?
Hui Lin smiled slightly and replied, "The Buddha said: Everything in the world must have a cause and effect. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the family is reluctant to invest in the monks under his disciples to return to the Buddhist temple, because he is worried about the dispersion of his disciples, not against the personnel of the Buddha. For those who are monks and cultivators, the root cause of the Buddha can also be divided into many kinds: there are those who are devout to the Buddha, but they do not account for the majority; Most people may be trapped by their livelihood and want to enter the monastery to earn food and clothing, such as the poor monks in those days; There are also people who commit adultery, who are forced to become monks and practice in order to avoid the government, and so on. However, the poor monks have taken refuge in my Buddha for nearly 30 years, during which their footprints have spread all over the north and south of the river, inside and outside the Guan, and foreign countries in China, and they have seen thousands of people, and they know that people's hearts are good and true to the nature of people, which is not different because of their dignity and humility, so the poor monks in the past when preaching Buddhism, they can not only explain the Buddha's principles to the peddlers and pawns, the common people, and teach their scriptures, but also talk about the Buddha's righteousness with the foreign Hu chieftain and the family Hao, and persuade them to be sincere to the Buddha. And all sentient beings, whether high or low, regard me as a person who preaches the scriptures and propagates the Dharma, and there is no difference between master and servant, respect and inferiority. The prince just asked the poor monks, how to deal with the family Haoyou's right to restrain the slaves in his door, customers to return to the temple to serve the Buddha, the poor monks can only open the door of Buddhism, purify all sentient beings, all shalves have the heart of returning to the Buddha and doing the Buddha, who can refuse to be outside the temple gate? ”
Zhang Heng, who was sitting on the side, had already seen some clues from Hui Lin's words, and asked Hui Lin a question, and Yang Guang said: "The monk said a lot of things, he wanted to reply to His Royal Highness King Jin, you have been regarded as the embodiment of the Buddha in the minds of the people, as long as you come forward, the family will not hinder his servants from returning to the Buddhist temple, is this what it means?" ”
"The donor's words are serious. A Buddha is a Buddha, a monk is a monk, a Buddha is the master of the Sangha, and a monk is the servant of the Buddha, how can it be confused? Hui Lin thought that Zhang Heng had spoken too clearly, so he hurriedly clasped his palms and said humbly.
"Then, why don't you still be a pending monk, travel all over the world, enlighten sentient beings, and instead compete with the monks for the position of abbot?" Zhang Heng heard that Hui Lin's words were too high-sounding, which aroused his desire to be narrow-minded, and he deliberately made things difficult for him, and asked with a smile.
"It's all because the poor monk claims to be the abbot of this one." Hui Lin was also relentless, choking on a faint sentence that Zhang Heng didn't dare to speak anymore.
Afterwards, before Yang Guang officially recommended to the imperial court that Hui Lin should be the abbot of the Daxingguo Temple in Bingzhou, he was reminded by Wang Shao, Zhang Heng and others that he had secretly gone deep into the people inside and outside the Guan, and checked whether the monk Hui Lin really enjoyed the irreplaceable prestige of other monks and nuns in the eyes of the people, as he said.
Despite this, Wang Shao advised Yang Guang to be more wary of the past experience of the monk Hui Lin staying in Turkic territory for ten years, and Yang Guang thought twice and adopted a compromise plan: while recommending to the imperial court that Hui Lin be the abbot of the Daxingguo Temple in Bingzhou and the superintendent of Hebei monks, he implored the imperial court to appoint two eminent monks from the monasteries in Chang'an to serve as monks in the Daxingguo Temple in Bingzhou, as Hui Lin's deputy, not only to assist him in taking charge of Hebei Buddhist affairs, but also to supervise him, just in case.
To this day, although the imperial court's official edict to appoint Hui Lin has not yet been conveyed to the state, but in the nearly two months since Yang Guang determined that Hui Lin served as the monk supervisor in Hebei, the rebuilding of Buddhist temples and the re-advocacy of Buddhism in the prefectures under the rule of Hebei Province have indeed progressed much more smoothly than before.
Compared with his junior brother Huizhen Monk who pretended to be a ghost in the court and finally died under the mouth of a poisonous bat, although Yang Guang had not known Monk Huilin for a long time, he obviously felt that the two brothers were two completely different types of people: Monk Huizhen's Buddhist cultivation is not profound, profound, and subtle, otherwise he would not be respected by the emperor as a national teacher, but he willingly obeyed the instigation of his father Yang Jian, deceived others, and got rid of the face of a villain; Although Monk Huilin was born in a poor family in Hebei Province, and had a rough life, he wandered and wandered for a long time, but he created his proud bones and a compassionate Buddha heart, traveled thousands of miles, and saved countless people, which is what he really wants to look for.
Therefore, after nearly two months of "probationary period", Yang Guang was very satisfied with the performance of this Huilin monk, and planned to stay in a few days, as soon as the imperial court decree arrived, he personally held a grand canonization ceremony for Huilin monk, and officially handed over the major event of promoting Buddhism in Hebei to him with full authority.
Because he was worried that he was going to preside over the spring ploughing ceremony outside the city on the second day of the second month of February, Yang Guang couldn't sleep well the first night, and as soon as the window of the dormitory was white, he put on his clothes and got up.
"The prince got up so early, put on more clothes, the weather is cold, and he is careful to catch a cold." Xiao E was awakened by the sound Yang Guang made when he got up, turned around and sat up, and persuaded his husband to say.
"I'm going to go to Daxingguo Temple before dawn to go to the head pillar incense, the princess is okay today, let's sleep for a while." Yang Guang persuaded Xiao E while pulling his shoes and walking out of the curtain.
Outside the curtains, Xiao Xiao and Luluo, the two maids on duty at night, heard that Yang Guang had gotten up, and hurriedly stood up, one went to bring clean water for Yang Guang to serve him to wash, and the other was ready to wait for him to change clothes.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door of the dormitory, and then someone lowered his voice outside the palace gate and reported to Yang Guangyu in the hall: "Lord, General Yu Xiaoren has been waiting outside the door of the dormitory for a long time, claiming that there is something urgent to report to the prince immediately. ”
"Is it Xian Yuluo? Come into the temple and speak. Yang Guang finished washing under the service of the two maids, and while changing his robe, he commanded outside the hall.
Xian Yuluo had not yet entered the hall, and Yang Guang heard two chirps of "Hai Dongqing" in the courtyard outside the hall, and couldn't help blurting out Xian Yuluo outside the hall: "What happened outside the palace?" Which bird is calling? ”
