Facing the first-class master in China, "Master, I'm polite!" Wei Xi and Princess Taiping bowed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Amitabha, don't dare to be, princess, concubine, poor monk is polite!" The great monk clasped his palms together.

In the reception room of the abbot of the White Horse Temple, the great monk Shi Fazhen, the four walls are empty, and there is a large seat in the middle, with a low table, and a futon next to it.

The simplicity is outrageous, which makes Princess Taiping worry about what pig food she will eat.

However, she was obviously overly worried, and Su Zhai sent it, three bowls of porridge, a basket of steamed buns, and four bowls of delicate side dishes.

The rice of the porridge is good, the steamed bun is made of fine noodles, and the side dishes are delicious and delicious.

In fact, the vegetarian food of the White Horse Temple is very famous, and only receives a hundred pilgrims every day, one is hard to find, the supply exceeds the demand, and now the fastidious princess Taiping has nothing to say.

Eat silently, wait for the end of the fast, clean up the bowls, send fragrant tea, it is the dragon well before worshiping the Buddha.

Shi Fazhen actually said "naughtily": "Master Horse, is this meal good?" Don't you have any opinions, you won't take away the bronze Buddha statue of our temple and melt it and mint copper coins, right? ”

When the words came out, the monk who served next to him was stunned.

It must be known that this great monk has always been solemn and does not speak, but he didn't expect to speak to Wei Xi like this.

Wei Xi smiled slightly and said, "What a good idea for the master!" ”

"What's a good idea?" Shi Fazhen asked.

"I moved your bronze statue, and the court will punish me to return the second statue, won't the master earn it!" Wei Xi said that he would not be fooled.

"However, the Buddha of the Wa Kingdom is not a Buddha?" Shi Fazhen fought with him.

The great monk was blaming Wei Xi, Indian Buddhism was transmitted to China, and Buddhism was spread from China, Wei Xi openly advertised that he was the protector of Taoism and Buddhism, and both Taoism and Buddhism in China were confessed (so there was no problem with him cutting the queue), but he didn't expect him to go to the Wa country, but he grabbed the bronze Buddha statue and melted it to make copper coins, and the great monk thought it was too much.

Wei Xi spread his hands and said: "I am poor in the twilight of my day, so I go against the grain!" ”

This sentence comes from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period when Wu Zixu replied to Shen Baodan's reproach, when Wu Zixu was a Chu person, but he led Wu soldiers to break through Chu Yingdu and dig up the tomb of King Chuping to whip the corpse, so Shen Baoxu blamed him.

It means that I have to travel a long way when it gets dark, so I have to walk upside down, contrary to common sense! Perverse means doing things against common sense and by unscrupulous means.

This is a strong argument!

Hearing Wei Xi's words, Shi Fazhen shook his head slightly, not very satisfied.

Wei Xi had to say: "Buddhism is boundless, but the general has a country!" ”

This explanation is reasonable, and the interpretation of the law is really a little gentle.

For the sake of national interests, there are things that cannot be said to be done.

Princess Taiping hurriedly said: "Don't worry, master, this princess will supervise him, he doesn't dare to do this in the country, otherwise this princess will not be the first to spare him!" ”

"It's best to have a princess overseer! The old man is also relieved! The interpretation really laughed it off.

Knowing that Wei Xi is a foreign king and an inner saint strategy, he holds great power, he is still very disciplined in the country, and his reputation is guaranteed, so he can't control so much!

As long as he didn't burn down my temple and robbed me of the Buddha statue, the great monk could only turn his eyes open, and he advised: "General, you hold the authority in your hands, be the heart of the heavens, take compassion as your heart, and be born when Ke Ze is born." “

"Rest assured, Master, I'm here for this."

"Oh?" Shi Fa Zhen then asked: "When the general visited, he once said that one is to offer incense, and the other is important, and now the incense is also burned, what is the important business?" ”

"Oh!" Wei Xi said calmly: "I want to spread the Fa!" ”

"Spreading the Fa?" The Buddha's heart, which is true and unfazed by the interpretation of the Dharma, has also been shaken.

The Dharma preaching that the great general said is by no means a small fight, it must be on a grand scale, it is a grand event of the Dharma, and it is also a great opportunity!

Wei Xi knew that the true Dharma interpretation was exquisite, he was a man of great virtue, and there were no outsiders around, so he could rest assured that what he said.

He said calmly: "After I conquered Tibet, the generals who stayed behind destroyed their country, destroyed their literature, named Han people, changed their clothes, changed their customs, believed in religion, removed the economy, intermarried more, changed their diet, and moved their people, but they did not encounter much backlash, and there were various reasons, among which faith in religion played a corresponding role. ”

Wei Xi stared at him and said: "First Princess Wencheng brought the Dharma into the snowy plateau, and then we vigorously promoted the Dharma, and now the effect is remarkable. ”

"And although the Turks belong to our dynasty, they have rebelled again and again, and their anger is deep, the country is uneasy, and the lives are ruined!"

"In addition to military pacification, we should use Buddhism to suppress it, so as to seek social stability and the people's mind!" That being said, everyone in the Tang Dynasty knew that there were many reasons why the Turks rebelled so much, and Wei Xi's use of Buddhism could not completely solve the problem, but it was okay to give it a try!

"In addition, I make a great wish, I hope that wherever my Tang army goes, Buddhist temples will be built to spread Buddhism and promote Buddhism."

He stared at Shi Fazhen with blazing eyes and asked, "I wonder if the master is willing to help me!?" ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Interpreting the Dharma and proclaiming the Buddha's name, he said happily: "Spreading the Dharma to the outside world is a grand event in the Buddhist world, the general has deep roots, great virtues, and great aspirations, how dare the little monk not follow it!" ”

Shi Fa Zhen has a respected status in the Buddha world, and calls himself an old man in front of the princess and the concubine, but when Wei Xi said his great wish, such a big event, Shi Fa Zhen also had to kneel, and called himself a little monk.

Ordinary people have a big wish, but Wei Xi is the protector of the Dharma in front of the Buddha! He has a wish, it is a great wish, and he really dares to disobey his fate!

Promoting the Dharma and teaching the scriptures is the "karma" that every Buddha should not give up, or seek the Dharma or pass on the Dharma, although he has experienced risks, he will not change his original intention.

The origin of the White Horse Temple is that the Han Ming Emperor sent the envoy Yu Lin Langzhong Qin Jing, the doctor's disciple Wang Zun and other 13 people to the Western Regions, to visit the Buddha, three years later, they together with the two Indian monks Jiaye Morteng and Zhu Falan returned to Luoyang, brought back a batch of scriptures and Buddha statues, according to legend, Hua Cha Hua Cha Wei Xiaobao obtained the "Forty-two Chapters of the Sutra" is one of them!

The emperor ordered the construction of China's first Buddhist monastery in Luoyang to house the famous Indian monks of high virtue and store the precious sutra statues and other items they brought.

Since Buddhism was introduced to China, for hundreds of years, there have been many people seeking the Dharma and passing on the scriptures, and some people have succeeded, such as Bodhidharma entering China and Master Sanzang reaching Tianzhu, but many people have died on the way.

Whenever possible, the Dharma should be preached!

At that time, Wei Xi discussed the details with Shi Fa Zhen, and Shi Fa Zhen sent a message to the temples in Wutai, Shaolin, Emei Mountain, Putuo Mountain, Wenshang (the holy land of Buddhism in the north) and other places after the year, and asked all the mountains to send monks who are proficient in Buddhism to arrive at the White Horse Temple in May and hold a Dharma meeting to discuss the major events of the transmission of the Dharma!

And Wei Xi is responsible for playing the imperial court, opening the door of convenience, and helping with the power of the state.

He did this, because the spread of Buddhism was the cornerstone of his foreign conquests, and it was related to the stability of the rule of the conquered regions, so he used Buddhism.
