Chapter 114

Xuanzang paused and continued.

"And Jinguang Temple has never had anything happen to me for so many years. I feel that in the Jinguang Temple, the calamity on me will not harm other innocent people.

That's why I'm here to stay, Master. ”

"Calamity? Why do you think so, Xuanzang? ”

"Because of my mother's affairs, and what Master Li once said."

Xuanzang repeated to Master Faming what he had heard from Li Zhiyan at that time. After Xuanzang finished, he looked at Master Faming again, and found that Master Faming's eyes became ethereal.

"Mahayana Buddhism ........" Master Fa Ming said in the mouth, repeating the term Li Zhiyan.

"Master, do you know Mahayana Buddhism?"

"You know, it is the salvation Dharma in Zhu Leiyin Temple. The Dharma we practice now is just the Dharma of the Dharma.

By taking the Dharma, you can only save yourself, not sentient beings. The only one who really wants to heal the suffering of sentient beings is the Mahayana Dharma. ”

"Save all beings?" Hearing that his master was teaching Mahayana Buddhism, Xuanzang suddenly felt that the burden on his body was heavier.

Because from Li Zhiyan's tone at that time, Xuanzang could hear that Xuanzang himself should be the only one who can obtain Mahayana Buddhist scriptures in this world.

It's just that to go through those so-called ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulties, you have to accept four monster apprentices. Want....... In addition to these, Xuanzang didn't know what else to experience. After going through the whole experience, one can obtain the so-called sutra.

But Xuanzang knows that every catastrophe is the same as the death of his mother. It's all about torturing yourself.

The current Xuanzang actually doesn't want to take the road of Li Zhiyan's Western Classics.

"Xuanzang, are you scared because of Lord Li's words?"

"Xuanzang doesn't want to deceive Master. Xuanzang was really scared. According to Master Li, the death of his mother is only one of the eighty-one difficulties.

This difficulty Xuanzang can no longer overcome. The remaining eighty difficulties, how could Xuanzang survive the past? ”

Master Faming sighed. touched Xuanzang's forehead, who was kneeling in front of him. Only then did he say softly.

"Xuanzang, for the teacher, you know the pain in your heart, but for the teacher, you feel ........ Master Li's eighty-one difficulties, just dodge, you may not be able to dodge any of them.

Because dodging is not the way to do it at all. If those are really your fate, they will find you wherever you hide.

Just like the death of your mother, think about it, if you gave up going to Chang'an City to seek revenge, or the person you were looking for was not Master Li, or ......... You didn't buy pear blossom cake for your mother at that time.

If any of the links in the middle go wrong, your mother probably won't die. But it's ........

This is the number of fate, Xuanzang. ”

"Why? I just want to be a monk, fate, fate?! Why did you choose me?! ”

"Xuanzang, actually, why do you dare to question here now, so why don't you face these calamities?

Since the Buddha has chosen you, then the Buddha must have believed that you are the one who can overcome these calamities.

If you really overcome these ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulties, then the things that you are afraid of bringing danger to the people around you will not exist, won't they exist? ”

"In the face of calamity? Master, are you? ”

"Take the Western Sutra, Mahayana Buddhism."

"Take the Western Meridian........ But Master, Zhu is far away. Although I am afraid of harming the moon spirit, I am going to really go and get the Western Scripture. I won't be able to see it after that...... Is the moon spirit? ”

"Xuanzang, did you get the Western Classic, and you won't go back to the Tang Dynasty in the future?"

"How is that possible, Master. This is my home, how could I not come back?! ”

"That's right, do you think Yueling will leave Chang'an City?"

"It should ...... No way. I know her, if Master Li and Bai Zhi have been here, then she will definitely always be here. ”

"That's right, Xuanzang. Wait until you get the Mahayana sutras and come back. The moon spirit won't leave. Why can't you see the moon spirit? ”

"Amitabha, Master........" Xuanzang began to hesitate.

"Xuanzang, in fact, you don't have to force yourself. Master, I'm just casual. Everything is decided by Xuanzang yourself.

By the way, in fact, Master has another story here, would Xuanzang be willing to hear it? ”

"If you want to, Master, please."

"This is a story about the Buddha's disciple, Venerable Anand.

According to legend, before Venerable Ananda became a Buddha, he met a woman on the road. The woman was so beautiful that she captured the heart of Venerable Ananda in an instant. Let His Holiness Ananda fall in love with her at first sight and never forget it.

After that, the Buddha went to Venerable Ananda and thought about enlightening him. But he was rejected by His Holiness Ananda.

The Buddha asked Ananda: Why don't you want to become a Buddha?

Ananda: He fell in love with a woman. After becoming a Buddha, won't you be able to see that woman?

The Buddha then asked, "How much do you like that woman?"

Ananda said to the Buddha: I would like to turn into a stone bridge and experience 500 years of wind blowing, 500 years of sun exposure, and 500 years of rain. I wish the woman had walked over me. ”

Master Faming came here, stopped, and looked into Xuanzang's eyes.

In Xuanzang's eyes, the streamer shone, and at this time he seemed to understand the mood of Venerable Ananda at the time of the curtain. The eyes were full of the fantasy of the beautiful woman walking across the stone bridge.

"And after that, Master?" Xuanzang had never heard this Buddhist scripture story, so he didn't know the ending, and seeing that Master Faming didn't go down again, he hurriedly asked.

"After that, the Buddha saw that the Venerable Ananda was affectionate. He agreed to Ananda's thoughts.

But the Buddha did not turn Ananda into a stone bridge, but allowed him to find the beautiful woman again.

And by taking advantage of many coincidences, the woman also fell in love with Venerable Ananda.

The two love each other, and finally naturally tie the knot and get married.

After the two got married, they were still very affectionate, until they finally died, and they agreed to wait for each other next to the Sansheng Stone. Enter the reincarnation of the next life together.

Next, the two still met, knew each other, fell in love, stayed together, and finally died together.

And so, life after life, until the tenth generation, His Holiness Ananda gave up. ”

"Huh? Why?! Xuanzang's eyes widened and he questioned Master Faming.

"Because, in front of the Ninth Three-Life Stone, the moment Venerable Ananda saw the figure of that beautiful girl appear, he was disgusted.

Although that emotion only appeared for a moment, it was indeed his real emotion.

After that moment, all illusions dissipated, and Ananda was still standing in front of the Buddha.

The 10th love just now. It's just a vision of the Buddha to Ananda. When the illusion had dissipated, the Buddha asked Ananda, "Do you still think about that woman?"

Ananda cried and knelt down in front of the Buddha and officially bowed to the Buddha Zheng"
