Chapter 784: To the Garden of Solitude
After the Lantern Festival, the four Ou Yangming masters and apprentices hurried on the road the next day, as for the gratitude of the people of Jinping Mansion, there was no thanks.
The western sky is close at hand, so you have to hurry up!
After walking a long distance and crossing several high mountains, the master and apprentice's eyes lit up, and they suddenly saw a large temple on the side of the road.
This temple is not big, but it is not small. The glazed tiles are used, and the tiles are half new and half old. The eight-character red wall, faintly visible pine cover, murmuring and listening to the sound of flowing water. On the vermilion mountain gate, it is written "Bujin Zen Temple" in large letters.
In an instant, infinite memories welled up in Ou Yangming's mind.
Those memories are all from the golden cicada.
"Bukin, Bukin, defend the border. If I heard it, for a while the Buddha gave the Acropolis only a tree to the Garden of Solitude. ”
"This is the place! Elder, where did it come from? ”
The memory was interrupted, but Ou Yangming was not angry.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a Zen monk coming slowly, about fifty years old.
In ancient times, this old monk had an absolute long life.
"Amitabha! Xuanzang, a poor monk, was ordered by the king of the Tang Dynasty in the east to go to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures. Passing by the treasure side, make a visit, spend a night, and leave tomorrow. ”
When the abbot heard this, he secretly said in his heart.
How far away is the Tang Dynasty in the east, four people and one horse, sleeping in the open air.
"The barren mountains and ten directions live permanently, and they can all rejoice, and the elders of the Dongtu are monks, but they have to be supported, and the three lives are fortunate!"
Ou Yangming thanked him, and then opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know where the base site for Dugu is located?" ”
He planned to take a look, how to give the Garden of Solitude can be regarded as a "tourist attraction" in the Three Realms.
And test how terrifying this saint is.
After all, it used to be the place where the Buddha preached.
"The back door is." The abbot replied.
"Master, we are sleepy all the way, why don't we have to eat fast first?" Bajie made a bitter face and said in a muffled voice.
Syllable!!
Wukong stretched out his hand and slapped him on the back of the head, laughing and scolding, "You idiot, you don't have a long memory." Master, what does the old man want to do, do you need to take care of it? When you talk in the future, touch your crotch first, what if your second brother disappears one day?! ”
After hearing this, Bajie shuddered, and hurriedly shrank his head, not daring to squeak anymore.
The abbot led Ou Yangming, and the two walked all the way through the back door to the ruins of the Garden of Solitude.
Dead branches and leaves, ruins and broken walls.
This is Ou Yangming's first impression of the solitary garden ruins when he arrives, and there are several lonely stone pillars standing around, and no one would have thought that the Buddha had preached here.
Bajie stood at the door, looked at the master who slowly walked into the ruins, and asked the abbot beside him.
"What is this place?"
"This is the Bujin Temple where Shakyamuni Buddha preached the scriptures."
Bujin Temple?!
The nerd looked at the ruins suspiciously, and secretly said that the Buddha back then was too sad.
Although I muttered in my heart, I had to give people some face.
"Yes! Is it! This place is quite chic, quite good. ”
Sha Seng listened to the second senior brother's insincere words, and quietly took a step back.
It's better to keep a distance from him, in case he gets angry, he doesn't have to look for water.
Of course, the abbot could hear Bajie's insincere words, and he was not angry. At his age, he can't be angry because of a word.
"Speaking of this garden, it was given to the lonely elderly back then, and they wanted to invite the Buddha to come to defend the country and say the Dharma, but there was no place. So he prayed to the prince of Gicamel to buy this garden and ask the Buddha to give a lecture.
The prince said that the garden is not for sale, and if you want to buy my garden, unless you put five inches of gold on it, and cover it all over the garden. ”
Bajie's ears immediately stood up, obedient!! Five inches of gold are spread all over the ground!
How much money must be under the ground?
Wukong pulled Bajie, hoping that he wouldn't lose face here.
I praised it insincerely just now, but now my eyes are shining green, and I look greedy for money and lustful.
"Gold is incomparable to the scriptures of the Buddha. It didn't take long for the lonely elders to cover the garden floor with gold and invite Buddha Shakyamuni to give a lecture on the teachings. ”
The abbot's voice fell, and when he walked to the middle of the garden, Ou Yangming suddenly found that the dilapidated ruins had undergone earth-shattering changes.
A golden glow began to spread from beneath his feet, covering the entire Garden of Solitude in the blink of an eye.
Looking to both sides, there are monks sitting cross-legged all around.
Directly in front, the Buddha is seated, and behind him is a Bodhi towering to the sky.
This scene also made everyone standing at the door discover that the Buddha's scriptures in their ears resounded in their minds.
"Thou shalt and other sentient beings believe that it is, and praise the incredible merits, and all the Buddhas shall recite the sutras. The so-called Dharma is not the Dharma. When I speak of the Dharma, I am only an expression of words, not the true Dharma.
As the saying goes, it cannot be said, the law is understood by the will, and the Buddha is born from the heart. Only by attaining enlightenment can we attain the Dharma ......"
This lecture is a day.
It wasn't until it was getting late that it slowly faded away.
The Dharma is constantly surrounding everyone's minds, and they know only the samadhi in it.
"Amitabha!" The abbot clasped his hands together and pronounced a Buddha name. "Elder is really a great creation, I have not appeared in the past 40 years, the Buddha. As soon as the elders arrived today, Buddha Shakyamuni will give you a lecture on the scriptures. Great creation, really great creation! ”
Ou Yangming was silent, complaining wildly in his heart.
It's been so many years that the Buddha can still manifest.
Feeling the amazing infinite power just now, Ou Yangming's heart was weak for a while.
The saint is worthy of being a saint, and he has completely broken away from the level of immortals and evolved into an incomprehensible life form.
"There are four elders, and they are sleepy and tired. I have instructed the little novices in the monastery to prepare a meal and a meditation room. After the four elders had finished their fast, they were ready to rest. ”
After the abbot finished speaking, he led the four Ou Yangming masters and apprentices to fast.
When I passed by a meditation room, I suddenly heard the sound of crying in the room.
The voice is painful, and people can't help but feel sad and cry.
The three of Wukong are deaf and clear-sighted, and of course they can hear it.
The monkey was about to speak, but was pressed down by Ou Yangming's wave.
He knew what had happened, and there was no need to ask the abbot again.
As long as you arrive in Tianzhu Kingdom, everything can be solved.
The three of them didn't know what the master was thinking, so they could only let it go and consciously filter the cry.
The four of them finished their meal and slept quietly for the night.
This is the Bujin Temple, the place where the Buddha once preached the scriptures, and there is no demon who dares to be presumptuous.
Otherwise, the end will definitely be the destruction of the form and spirit, or the transformation of Buddhism.
Early the next morning, the four masters and apprentices got up and hurried to Tianzhu to continue the great cause of learning scriptures from the west.
The abbot stood at the gate of the fourth courtyard, looking at the four people who were gradually moving away, and kept muttering in his heart.
Did Ou Yangming hear the cry yesterday?
