"Shakyamuni, his condition continues to deteriorate, but he still does not forget to preach the Dharma..." Dong Tinghua continued to speak. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhou Tianyi and Miao Weiqiang listened to Dong Tinghua's allusions and praised Dong Tinghua!
When the Buddha went to the city of Bobo in the southern kingdom of Mora, the blacksmith Chunta feasted on the Buddha, and after the meal, the Buddha suffered from abdominal pain and dysentery, and his condition was seriously aggravated. After a short rest, the Buddha bathed in the Kusun River, and then made his way to the capital of the northern kingdom of Kushnaga, on the way the Buddha thought that he was probably about to perish, and the Buddha was afraid that he would regret and blame himself, so he told Ananda to go and comfort him, and give alms to the last meal before the destruction was the same merit and good deeds as before enlightenment.
Cross the Nirenchan River and reach the Sora Forest near Kushnaga. This is the place where the Buddha entered and perished, and it is still quite far from Kapilavi. The Buddha was so exhausted that he ordered Ananda to lay his bedding between the two saras, and he lay down on his side. Suvarda came to see him but Ananda refused, but the Buddha heard it and agreed to meet him. Suvarda wanted to know if the Shamana Sect had true knowledge that the Buddha had shown that without the Noble Eightfold Path there would be no true Shaman. Subhada took refuge and became the last disciple. The Buddha said that after he destroyed the Dharma and the precepts, he was the teacher; If the Sangha wishes, "the small primary school can be abandoned". In the end, he said: "All actions are bad and destroying, and we should strive for self-improvement and diligence. "The Buddha passed away peacefully in meditation.
When the Buddha was destroyed, only Anaryu and Ananda were the big disciples around him, and his body was moved to the Tianguan Temple in the suburbs. Seven days later, the Mahakāyā and the monks gathered together and joined the inhabitants of Mora with the Wheel of King Ryūtra. The bones were laid to rest in the assembly hall for seven days, and the Mora people paid their respects by singing and dancing incense flowers. The eight surrounding countries sent envoys, and through the mediation of Tuluna, the bones were divided into eight equal parts; Tuluna brought the bottle back and offered it; The peacock people, who were late, saw that the bones had been divided, so they took the ashes with them. So there are a total of eight Buddha bone relics pagodas, a bottle pagoda, and an columbarium pagoda.
"This is what happened after Shakyamuni Buddha died..." Dong Tinghua said.
Miao Weiqiang said with a bitter face: "No, after the death of Shakyamuni Buddha, he was divided into disciples and buried in eight places for worship, his disciples are really choking!" ”
"You don't understand this, this is the respect for Shakyamuni Buddha, and it is also the prestige of Shakyamuni Buddha, when people die, disciples have to rob the body, if you die, I'm afraid no one wants it!" Dong Tinghua said with a mocking face.
"Shut your crow's mouth, how can I die if you don't die!" Miao Weiqiang said.
Looking at the two brothers who were playing and playing, Zhou Tianyi showed a wry smile, these two people are so old and they give you a child, which makes people speechless!
Now the most important thing is to find the location of the relic, since this is the place where the Buddha had an epiphany and became a Buddha, then the relics stupa should be nearby, as for the eight relics stupas where Shakyamuni Buddha is buried, it is not important, because what I am looking for is the relics of Shakyamuni Buddha's previous life, that is, the white elephant relics stupas.
Zhou Tianyi had a feeling in his heart that in this place, there might be a mysterious secret realm hidden, and the legendary Buddhist holy land Shambhala should be in that place!
Just when the three of them didn't know where to go to look for the stupa, the monks and tourists around them suddenly made a commotion, and they all looked at the mountain peak to the west. Then all the monks knelt on the ground, and the tourists took out their mobile phones to take pictures!
Zhou Tianyi, Miao Weiqiang, and Dong Tinghua followed everyone's eyes to the west peak...
A mirage-like castle floats in mid-air, and monks in robes weave through it! A tall white tower stands in the middle of the castle!
Zhou Tianyi's face was full of doubts, is the castle floating in mid-air really a legendary relic, a majestic building, a monk with a peaceful face, is it a mirage, or is it Shambhala in the western sky!
Dong Tinghua and Miao Weiqiang asked the locals and monks with curiosity, and finally found a monk who could speak Chinese, this monk was from Tibet and had practiced Buddhism here for more than ten years.
In his mouth, the three of them knew what was going on on the mountain, and in their eyes it was not a mirage, because this kind of scene appeared many times a year, and every time the miracle was almost the same, except that the monks walking on the streets were different, and in everyone's mind, this was where the legendary Buddhist holy land Shambhala was.
After listening to the monk's explanation, Zhou Tianyi looked at the opposite peak, and had a strange feeling in his heart, the snow on the top of the mountain does not melt all year round, and the white snow makes the tall mountain look extremely sacred.
Every miracle is the same, the same building, but the monks shuttling through the castle, is this really Shangri-La!
The three of them briefly discussed, and walked to the opposite peak, always feeling that there was a secret hidden in them, and the legend said that the White Elephant Pagoda should be in that place!
When Zhou Tianyi, Miao Weiqiang, and Dong Tinghua walked towards the opposite mountain, the old monk who told the story to the three people suddenly appeared behind the three of them, following them from a distance!
It took only two hours for the two of them to come to the bottom of the mountain, and at this time, the magical picture had long since disappeared, replaced by a blue sky!
Three people climbed up to the top, and it didn't take long to climb to the top of the mountain, standing on the top of the mountain, observing the surrounding mountains and landforms, from the perspective of feng shui, this should be a feng shui treasure place to build a temple, and the surrounding mountains are surrounded by this main mountain, there is a feeling of surrounding the stars and the moon.
"God stick, you can see that there is nothing!" Dong Tinghua asked.
Zhou Tianyi nodded and said: "There is a problem with the feng shui here, if you want to know if Shangri-La is here, you have to wait until the evening!" ”
"What's wrong with Feng Shui here?" Miao Weiqiang asked.
"It stands to reason that this is the best place to build a temple, and the temple should be built here with great incense, and it will be very effective to ask for incense, but there is nothing here, and it is impossible for these monks not to know that this is a treasure of feng shui for building a temple!" Zhou Tianyi said.
"What are you kidding, this place is so desolate, who will come back to worship the temple built here!" Dong Tinghua said.
"The monks here may not understand Feng Shui!" Miao Weiqiang said.
The three of them sat on the mountain and waited for the night to come, and Zhou Tianyi wanted to accurately judge the feng shui pattern of this place in combination with the trend of the stars here!
The three of them sat on the top of the mountain, discussing the whereabouts of the twin-tailed scorpion and the little beggar!
"Little God, you said that the two of them, Brother Scorpion, Little Hanako, should leave the primeval forest, right?" Miao Weiqiang asked.
"According to the time calculation, Big Brother Scorpion's injuries are almost healed, he should have left the primeval forest, and he may be looking for us everywhere now!" Zhou Tianyi said. (To be continued.) )
