Chapter 531: Seeking Advice and Asking the Heart
Speaking of this, the herdsman surnamed Wang looked at Xuanzang, and then said with a smile: "So, master, people like me, all the people of the entire Han Dynasty, what do you think we will think of our leader?" ”
Xuanzang fell silent, and seeing that Xuanzang didn't speak, the herdsman surnamed Wang smiled happily and said, "Master, I don't know whether to say something or not." ”
"You say." Xuanzang immediately bowed his head and said very modestly.
"Dare to ask what the master is doing when he goes to Tianzhu?" The herdsman surnamed Wang asked.
"Go west to seek enlightenment, to solve confusion." Xuanzang immediately spoke.
"What confusion?" The herdsman surnamed Wang asked again.
"Why is there so much suffering in the world, in order to solve the suffering of the world." Xuanzang once again said his purpose, this is Xuanzang's life's ambition, he was born at the end of the Sui Dynasty, it can be said that he completely felt all the human states at the turn of the two dynasties, his parents went early, he was a monk at the age of thirteen, it can be said that he has seen the entire Great Sui, those countless tragic things in the Tang Dynasty.
This is also a thing that he wanted to solve after reading countless Buddhist scriptures in the temple since he was a child.
"Haha, Master, to say something disrespectful, I don't know if the Buddha you believe in can solve the world's suffering, but when I chatted with the master yesterday, the master once said that you saw countless tragedies when you were a child, but those human tragedies, do you have your Buddha to help?"
"Maybe Master, you will say that the world does not believe in Buddha, why should the Buddha save people, but Master, our leader, even if we don't believe in him, but he still saves countless people, may I ask the leader or the Buddha, which is more like the Buddha? What do you call Buddha? What's the point? The herdsman surnamed Wang laughed a few times and said.
His words were very ordinary and straightforward, but Xuanzang's whole person was directly there.
The words of the herdsman surnamed Wang were impacting the thoughts in his mind, Xuanzang wanted to find something, wanted to find words that could refute him from some scriptures and classics, but he found ...... He was speechless.
Because he has been in Dahan for five years, and has seen what Dahan is like in the past five years, this country is completely different from any place he has ever seen, completely different, it can be said that in Dahan, all the people have really lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there is no human suffering more than the Buddhist country he fantasized.
So the Buddha he went to seek, the Buddhist scriptures he sought, can solve these human sufferings? This question does not need to be answered by this herdsman, he can answer himself.
"Master, please forgive me, in fact, it's not that I can't help it, I admire the master's ambition and what the master has done, but there are actually some things, I'm afraid the master has thought badly." The herdsman surnamed Wang spoke again.
"Oh? Please speak up. Xuanzang immediately asked very seriously.
"I think that many temples have given a lot of people help and helped many people, is it that these behaviors make the master feel that the Buddha can save people?" The herdsman surnamed Wang spoke.
"This ...... With this factor, at least the Buddha can guide people to goodness. Xuanzang hesitated, in fact, Xuanzang could find many classics to refute this sentence, but in the end he said everything, because he suddenly felt that those words were meaningless, because of the classics he said, he dared to guarantee that the herdsman opposite could not understand.
"What the master said is good, but don't forget, the master can save people, can help people, that is still the emperor of the Tang Dynasty gave the temple privileges, if the temple has no privileges, all the temples are still like ordinary businessmen, ordinary people need to pay taxes, how many people can these monks save? After all, it can be said that the Tang Dynasty government rescued them, and it has nothing to do with the monks. ”
"Of course, you can't say that, after all, if there are no rich people who donate money to the temple, the temple will not have the money to help more people." The herdsman surnamed Wang smiled and said.
Xuanzang opened his mouth, because he suddenly felt that no matter how many classics and scriptures he found, he couldn't explain such things, and these things could not be explained by a single ethereal word, because for all the people, they didn't understand this, so they could only see the most direct things in front of them.
"Then why did you believe in the Immortal Heaven, that is, shamanism, before you became a Han person?" Xuanzang didn't know why he was asking this question.
"Because I have no hope, I don't know what else to believe except that God will give me some hope." The herdsman surnamed Wang replied very simply, or very bluntly.
But this kind of straightforwardness makes Xuanzang very uncomfortable, does it mean that even if he finds the scriptures and goes back, he will eventually fall into such a fate? Become the last little bit of fantasy and hope for the people?
Xuanzang didn't know what to say, or how to continue, but he knew that this was not his original idea.
He hoped that Buddhist scriptures could be used to solve the world's ills.
"Master, I admire your ambition, although I don't know the big truth, but what I do know is that if you want to save countless people and solve the suffering of the world, what you need is a government like the Han Dynasty, not a few scriptures that can solve it." The herdsman surnamed Wang smiled slightly and said.
"By the way, master, do you still want to go to the Ring Sun Dynasty to find the scriptures? If you're still going to go, I think I have a suggestion. The herdsman surnamed Wang added.
"Donor, please." Xuanzang took a deep breath and looked at the herdsman surnamed Wang seriously.
"If you are just for the scriptures, you don't have to go, because the chief once said that the most valuable wealth of mankind is knowledge, no matter what kind of knowledge is the knowledge of any civilization, no matter what kind of knowledge it comes from, books like Buddhist scriptures will eventually be sorted out by the soldiers on the front line, preserved and sent back to the National Library in Yumen Pass."
"Almost all the people and generals of the Han Dynasty know this." The herdsman surnamed Wang said with a smile.
"Is that so? It's just that the Han Dynasty only believes in the Haotian Sect, and the classics of other sects, such as Buddhist scriptures, may be destroyed. Xuanzang hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but speak, he didn't understand this, but he knew that some people did such things.
"Haha, master, please rest assured, it is not wrong for the Han to believe in the Haotian Sect, but the leader also said that God can only give guidance and correct thoughts, and if you want to save yourself, you will always rely on yourself, and only by acting by yourself can you strive for a better life."
"All life is created by one's own hands, by one's own wisdom, and wisdom is summed up by countless knowledge, and knowledge should not be buried and destroyed." The herdsman surnamed Wang said with a smile, these words are not what he said, these are some teachings of Haotian Sect, many things the herdsman surnamed Wang did not remember, but he remembered a lot of similar words.
for these words were spoken by the princes themselves.
Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, and then said a Buddha name before he said seriously: "The leader is really a person with great wisdom, it seems that I should go back." ”
"Then I'll wish the master all the best." The herdsman surnamed Wang said with a smile.
"Thank you to the donor for solving your doubts, the poor monk is grateful." Xuanzang stood up seriously and saluted the herdsman surnamed Wang.
"The master is polite, I didn't say anything, I don't deserve such a heavy courtesy from the master." The herdsman surnamed Wang was a little startled, he didn't expect Xuanzang to be so serious.
"No, a conversation with the benefactor is better than the exchange between me and many eminent monks in the Tang Dynasty, Confucius said that there must be my teacher in the threesome, and it really makes sense." When Xuanzang said this, he was very calm, obviously he didn't mind saying Confucian words.
"As long as it helps the master, then the master will rest with me for one night and then return tomorrow?" The herdsman surnamed Wang asked.
"Then bother the donor for one more night." Xuanzang said seriously.
"Is the master going to walk back?" The herdsman surnamed Wang asked again.
"Yes." Xuanzang didn't say anything about this.
"Actually, I think if the master wants to, you can go to the patrol department of Yaochi City to apply for it, and see if you can take the train back to Yumen Pass directly, after all, master, you may not go back for a year, but it will take at least half a year, and the road is far away."
"The chief once said that the last thing a person should waste is time, because time is very precious to a person, and the master can return to Yumen Pass in a few days, and spend most of the remaining half a year going to the library to study those scriptures. After all, one person can live that long, and the master has been out and gone for five years, which is long enough. The herdsman surnamed Wang said with a smile.
Xuanzang: "......"
He was silent for a while, he also didn't know how to refute these words, he knew that these words were not said by the herdsman surnamed Wang, but by the leader of the Han Dynasty who was far away in Yumen Pass, but all these herdsmen and people remembered it.
But these seemingly straightforward words contain simple truths.
It is correct to travel on your own, but if you are in a hurry and then walk back, it will be a waste, but the monks do not have any money, so the train must not be free.
"What are the requirements for the train?" But Xuanzang still asked.
"I don't know about this, the master still goes to ask the people of the patrol department, I don't think the master needs to dwell on these, the master has come all the way, this train is regarded as a fate, it is good to become, if you don't become a master, you won't lose anything, anyway, it's a fate, why should the master be obsessed with what is the fate?" The herdsman surnamed Wang smiled and said.
Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but look at Wang Xing's herdsmen again, if he was not an ordinary herdsman, Xuanzang would think that he was some kind of worldly master. It's just that if he were an ordinary herdsman, wouldn't it be more awesome?
Because Dahan, an ordinary herdsman, has such insight, what is the elite class of Dahan like?
