94, Hujiao, Buddhism
After leaving the customs, Bai Ziyun immediately met with Zhang Rang, after all, he had made this angel wait for so long, if he ignored it again, it would be a little too much to say.
"The minister Zhang Rang has seen the honorable!" Zhang Rang said politely, the depression in his heart, it is really incompetent to be an angel to do this to the point of himself, but what can be done.
"Zhang Changshi, there are many affairs in Zhuojun now, and it is inconvenient to chat, please explain your intention!" Bai Ziyun said bluntly.
Zhang Rang said with a smile: "The old slave came to congratulate the honorable, the god is invincible, the saint is envious and admired, and the old slave worships the honorable for the post of long-term general......" Holding the edict in his hand, when he was about to read the words on the edict, he suddenly felt pulled by an invisible hand, and the edict floated up and flew to Bai Ziyun's hand.
When Zhang Rang saw it, his expression became more respectful, and he didn't dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction.
This edict floats, it looks like a spell, but in fact it is not a spell, but a martial art, the name is the dragon snatcher, the dragon snatcher is a superb technique to control the true qi, and it must have a deep internal skill cultivation to do it.
Bai Ziyun saw the edict for the first time, and couldn't help but be a little curious, seeing that it was a silk brocade, and there was no dragon-shaped pattern on it like the edict of later generations, and the beginning was also written with the words "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said", and the general content behind it was the emperor's yearning for cultivating immortals.
Bai Ziyun pouted, this position of general is just a fictitious position, with no real power, but this Changliushan has become his dojo, which can be regarded as a bit affordable.
Bai Ziyun put down the edict and said: "Your Majesty admires the art of immortality, which is the normal condition of people, but Your Majesty is the emperor who came into the world, and the hundred spirits protect himself, and he does not cultivate ten thousand laws, but cultivates humanity, and the people in the world live and work in peace and contentment, are rich and healthy, and the Son of Heaven is prosperous, which is Your Majesty's practice." The so-called, the Son of Heaven sits on the country, the world is occupied, the luck is over, and the country has returned to the field. If Your Majesty can cultivate the system, be frugal and punish stolen goods, be sympathetic to the people's feelings, make the society stable and prosperous, and become a promising monarch, a benevolent and righteous monarch, his merits will naturally be complete, and he will never have troubles and no longer suffer from reincarnation. ”
Zhang Rang stood piously and listened quietly, and he had already heard what Bai Ziyun meant, and the ideas that His Majesty said were to persuade His Majesty to become a wise lord, but if this is the case, then the emperor is no longer a faint king, what do you want us to do? The Ming lord has never been in the court, and the harem attendants can't be at ease.
Zhang Rang was unhappy in his heart, but he still couldn't help but ask curiously: "The suffering of reincarnation that the Venerable said, the old slave heard from the monk of the White Horse Temple, but he didn't know the details, please tell the Venerable." ”
"White Horse Temple?" Bai Ziyun couldn't help frowning, and then remembered that Luoyang White Horse Temple is known as the first ancient temple in China, and it has been established in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Zhang Rang, as a court attendant, did some research on the sects of the Han Dynasty in order to please the emperor, and said slowly: "Yes, the White Horse Temple was built in Luoyang, and it is a hall where Hu monks live and practice. ”
"Nonsense?" As soon as I heard this name, I knew that Buddhism was not valued and respected by the Han people, Bai Ziyun said with a smile: "Zhang Changshi, this seat is very interested in the Hu Sect, where does it come from, can you tell me about it?" ”
"No!" Zhang Rang hurriedly agreed, sorted out his thoughts, and said slowly: "Judging from the classics in the palace, it seems that this Hu sect was introduced to my Central Plains more than two hundred years ago, but there are very few believers. But a hundred years ago, in the seventh year of Yongping, Emperor Xiaoming (Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty) stayed in the South Palace at night, one day the god fell into a dream, the god was six feet tall, covered in gold, the top of his head was shining, came from the west, flew around the palace, and went to the west. The next morning, after Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty woke up from a dream, he was puzzled. Then he told the ministers of this dream, the ministers did not understand its meaning, the well-educated doctor Fu Yi Qi said, "There is a god in the West, called Buddha, like Your Majesty", Emperor Xiaoming was overjoyed, and sent more than ten people such as ministers Cai Yin and Qin Jing to the Western Regions to ask for Hujiao, well, it is what they said about the Futu Sutra...... In the tenth year of Yongping, two Hu monks and Zhu Falan were invited to work with officials to carry the Futu Sutra and the statue on a white horse and return to Luoyang. Emperor Xiaoming was overjoyed when he saw this, and ordered the construction of a monastery in the north of the three miles of the imperial road outside the Xiyong Gate in Luoyang, and named it 'White Horse Temple'. ”
Bai Ziyun frowned and said, "That Emperor Xiaoming believes in Hu Sect so much, isn't that Hu Sect prevalent in the world?" ”
Zhang Rang said with a smile: "My Han Dynasty since Emperor Xiaowu, respect Confucianism, Emperor Xiaoming naturally also advocated Confucianism, although the Hu religion is quite wonderful, but it is not a good religion for the world, has always been worshiped by the royal family, but there are not many people who believe in it." ”
Bai Ziyun smiled dumbly, that Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty took Buddhism from his home, but he did not advocate it among the people, but with the support of the royal family, in the past hundred years, Buddhism will always have some foundation.
"You've seen the Futu Sutra, let's hear it."
"No! The "Futu Sutra" mainly tells the deeds of the god of the Hu religion, and it tells the parents of his god Shakyamuni. His father was the King of Pure Rice, and his mother was Mrs. Maya. It is narrated that Lady Maya conceived a god because she dreamed of a white elephant, and under the Sanssouci tree in the Lumbini Garden, the goddess was born from the right side of Lady Maya, and was born to walk......"
Zhang Rang slowly talked about the content of the "Futu Sutra", seeing that he had worked this Buddhist scripture, he could say a lot of content, but most of them were some mythological deeds of Shakyamuni, but he did not say much about the teachings.
Bai Ziyun found out about this and asked, "I see that you know a lot about the deeds of the Buddha in the Futu Sutra, but you don't seem to know much about his teachings. ”
"Your Majesty likes to read the classic stories of various sects, and the main responsibility of the old slave is to compile the classic stories in these sects, so the old slave has read some of the story classics in the "Futu Sutra", but the "Futu Sutra" is the religion of the Western Regions, and the doctrine of doing things in it is the bad habit of the barbarians in the Western Regions, and Your Majesty will not take it to heart."
Bai Ziyun nodded, he had a general understanding of the current situation of Buddhism, now Buddhism has not been sinicized, there are too many cultural factors of barbarians in the Western Regions, and the Han people who regard themselves as the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire naturally disdain it, and the more widely circulated in Buddhism is probably just some stories in the Buddhist scriptures.
"The theory of reincarnation is the secret of the heavenly realm, I don't want to say more, I only say that Your Majesty does not practice government affairs, and you will still suffer from reincarnation in the future, if you want to understand the matter of reincarnation, you can go to the Baiyun Department Store to buy some books, in those books you can find such words. The rest, I won't talk about it, you can retreat. ”
"No!" Zhang Rangqian retreated, left Baijiazhuang, went straight to Baiyun Department Store, bought a few copies of each of the books in the store, and then buried himself in the sea of books and swam in the sea of books, and read for five days before he finished reading such books.
He saw some words of Buddhism in "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"The six realms of reincarnation: heaven, man, devil, beast, hungry ghost, hell; When a man does evil, he will enter into the way of the beast......"
"The Diamond Sutra, the Yuanjue Sutra, and the Lotus Sutra have never been heard of by miscellaneous people, and it seems that they are Buddhist scriptures from another world......"
"It turns out that this Hu Sect is extremely popular in other parallel worlds, well, it is Buddhism, but this Hu Sect seems to be not the same as other Buddhism."
