"Amitabha!"

In the salute, countless bald heads gathered, reflecting the light, dazzling the eyes of Luoyang people, and the city was very lively. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In front of the White Horse Temple, the true master of the Dharma blew the conch, widely distributed hero stickers, and invited monks from all over the world to gather in Luoyang and hold a Dharma meeting to promote Buddhism.

Later, Shang Shuwei of the Imperial Court Rites Department issued an order to the local government on behalf of the imperial court, opening the door for them to hold the Fa meeting.

Pray for blessings and disasters for the Great Dharma of Fasting and Popularization!

The people in Luoyang City are also well-informed, and they have seen so many monks and nuns for the first time in their lives!

Some monasteries are rich and rich, and the monks wear big red robes to travel, and they are full of energy, and the flowers along the way open the way, blowing and blowing, which is very lively (God knows what they repair).

There are more ascetics who hold the precept of not catching money, they come by the bowl, they only beg for food, not money, they don't live in hotels, people's houses, monasteries, and sleep in the wilderness!

When encountering such ascetics, even the princes, princesses, ministers, and ordinary people, they all knelt down and offered rice, vegetables, and fruits to these pious monks by the roadside.

The religion of that period was not polluted by the tide of commodification, and the monk was a monk, which is convincing.

From April, the monks arrive in clusters, in twos and threes, like a hundred rivers entering the sea, to reach the White Horse Temple.

All the monks of the White Horse Temple mobilized collectively, and received the help of a large number of lay people in Luoyang City (referring to people who have taken refuge ceremonies, but are not at home, and have studied Buddhism at home) and believers (ordinary Buddhist believers) to receive the great virtuous people who came.

The monks from the snowy plateau, who were the farthest among the monks, had received a notice from Wei Xi last year and arrived in Luoyang early.

Since May 15, outside the White Horse Temple, monks from all walks of life have held chanting pujas, prayer pujas, consecration pujas, and law popularization pujas, etc., one after another, and the people of Luoyang are blessed.

All parties work together to ensure smooth operation.

There are monks who spread the Dharma and purify all sentient beings.

There are local tyrants like Princess Taiping who spend 100,000 yuan, and there are also pear sellers on the streets of Luoyang City, who donate their usual money to the Buddha in front of the Buddha.

Enthusiastic lay people and believers from Luoyang City and even Chang'an helped to assist in the development of the ritual.

Luoyang City, Chang'an and other places have received notices that there will be a large number of grand events in the White Horse Temple in Luoyang from May, and it is a large number of people who will pour into Luoyang to arrive at the White Horse Temple to participate in the meeting and pray for the blessing of the Buddha.

The hotels in Luoyang City were full, the flow of people was surging, dragons and snakes gathered, and the government Lingzong Chuke, who went to the White Horse Temple to inspect it, was very headed, and said to Wei Xi: "Master Ma, your Dharma meeting has attracted a lot of Buddhist faith, but there are also a lot of bad elements, and they actually steal and rob regardless of the convening of the Fa, so they can do it, and the lower officials can't disagree." ”

The bad elements on Luoyang and Chang'an Road are notoriously known, and once Emperor Gaozong went from Chang'an to Luoyang, and deliberately brought a big brother from the prison to act as Jiang Taigong---- evil god to avoid, so as to make him have a happy trip and avoid being co-opted.

The emperor is still like this, and other times it is even more unbearable, because of the disaster last year, bandits were rampant. (There is also a reason that Emperor Gaozong had a good heart and did not crack down)

Wei Xi snorted coldly and said: "You have done enough to be aggrieved by this government order, put it in Dengzhou, come and crack down, I will arrest all the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods to the battlefield, see how they make trouble, and the boss of the battlefield will teach them to be as well-behaved as a Mengtong (primary school student)!" ”

"Master Horse, you are extremely powerful, how can the lower officials compare to you!" Zong Chuke smiled bitterly.

In Dengzhou, Wei Xi is the overlord of the soil, it is not a matter to kill a person, all parties in the capital are intertwined, and Zong Chuke admits that he is a turtle grandson.

The so-called previous life was not good, and this life knows the county; In the previous life, he did evil, the county was attached to Guo, and the evil was full of evil, and the provincial city of Guo was attached, so the magistrate attached to the capital city of Guo belonged to the eighteenth layer of hell, and he was miserable when he was in the same city with Shangguan and the imperial court.

"What can't be copied, it's a pity that the imperial court won't let me do this decree, otherwise I will guarantee that the sky is three feet high, and the place will be quiet!" Wei Xi spoke loudly.

"That's the best, I'll recommend you to the court immediately!" Zong Chuke was overjoyed.

"Funny to you, you really want to!" Wei Xi laughed and said, "I'm very busy now!" ”

He's really busy, he's busy attending pujas, discovering talent, and finding a true great monk who is proficient in the Dharma and can speak well.

Wei Xi, Jiang Shi, Cui Qianxun, plus the intelligence officers in the princess's mansion and the staff officers of Zuo Xiao's cavalry guards, all went out together, all wearing "Zhongshan suits", haunting various festivals, getting acquainted with monks, and paying homage to the masters, they meticulously recorded the origin and performance of the monks, especially at the debate meeting, and they were engrossed in watching the monks' performance.

At the request of Wei Xi, the presiding monk of the White Horse Temple, the great monk Shi Fa Zhen specially organized a number of debates in the temple, which is equivalent to a debate meeting, so that you can see the advantages and disadvantages of each other, so as to select Dharma transmission talents.

These Buddha meetings have participated in many times, and in Cui Qianxun's words: "We can all pretend to be monks!" ”

And Jiang Zhi simply said: "No, I'm going to disarm and return to the temple to be a monk!" ”

"You can't be a monk!" Wei Xi is quite sure of the authenticity.

“WHY？” Jiang Shi asked in a Webster Hu language.

"Because your old Uncle Wei won't give you a disc (monk's license)! (The Ministry of Rites is also in charge of the Taoist temples in the world)" Wei Xi said with a smile.

"Oh my God! You can't escape the power of the Wei family anywhere, and you can't be a monk! Cui Qianxun shouted.

On May 25th, the Buddha light of the White Horse Temple shines, the sound of the Dharma is clear, all people gathered, under the auspices of the White Horse Temple Master Shi Fazhen, a grand ceremony was held to pray for the blessing of the country and eliminate disasters for fasting and popularizing the law!

On the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the front of the Buddha is covered with incense, flowers, lamps, candles, fruits, tea, etc.

The monks hold lotus lanterns, incense, flowers, lanterns, Buddhist flags, Buddhist flags, and chanting in unison, which is sacred and solemn

Inside and outside the hall, monks, nuns, laymen, and believers from different places gathered in large numbers and were very inclusive.

The monks and nuns chanted the scriptures, unhurriedly, and many voices gathered together, and there was a buzzing sound.

There are more than a dozen monks who are different, and they read them in a subdued and abrupt voice, which is unusually good, but many people can't understand it, because this is Buddhist Sanskrit!

Blessing the country: bless the country's stability and peace, and the country's fortune will be long-lasting.

Prayer: Bless the sick emperor, may he recover soon, and wish all the people in the world good health and all the best.

Eliminate disasters: Eliminate droughts, waterlogs, locust plagues, epidemics and fires, and wish the Tang Dynasty a smooth wind and rain, and a bumper harvest of grains.

Offering fasting: the upper offering to the Buddhas of the Ten Directions, the middle offering to the sages, and the lower and the three paths and six paths are all sentient.

Law popularization: Popularizing the law and lecturing the scriptures to solve the difficulties of learning the Dharma for the Buddha.

The great monks came to the stage to preach the Dharma, and they spoke so straight that the tongue bloomed with lotus flowers, and the sky was full of flowers, and the believers listened to it as if they were fascinated!

The festival was unprecedented, with thousands of monks and 30,000 devotees participating in the event over three days.

The monks chant sutras and worship the Buddha, so that the sponsors can increase their blessings and wisdom, and make their wishes come true!
