A single line wants to leave. At this time, I saw Guanyin Bodhisattva dressed in white clothes, holding the dust, graceful and luxurious, sitting on the temple in the wisps of incense.

In addition to the beautiful legends and myths of Buddhism, there has also been a moving legend related to Guanyin Bodhisattva for thousands of years.

In other words, our religion in China has always been divided into three major branches: Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Among the three religions, except for Confucianism and Taoism, which were founded by the Chinese headquarters, Buddhism was introduced from the Western Regions. Because it takes the people of Jue Shidu as its purpose, there are many people who believe in it, and its power is also on a par with Confucianism and Taoism, and it has been passed down to the present and still maintains its status.

In the distinction of Buddhism, the world is divided into four continents, which are called Dongsheng Shenzhou, Nanzhan Buzhou, West Niuhe Continent, and Beiju Luzhou.

China belongs to the southern Zhanbu continent. There are four famous mountains in Nanzhan Buzhou, known as the country of Buddhism. These four mountains are Jiuhua, Wutai, Emei, and Putuo. In charge of these four mountains are the four great masters of Lu Renshan Bodhisattva, Puxian Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Guanyin Bodhisattva. Therefore, Jiuhua Li Lu Renshan, called Daxing, Wutai Li Manjushri, called Dazhi, Emei Li Puxian, called Dayong, Putuo Li Guanyin, called Daci, the field is also very clear.

Among these four monks, the most revered by ordinary people is undoubtedly the first to recommend Guanyin Bodhisattva. Because if we mention her Dharma name in the crowd, whether it is old or young, women and children, almost everyone knows it, and almost everyone has a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva deeply embedded in their minds.

This kind of universal salutation is caused by the influence of Guanyin's mana.

The purpose of Guanyin is to make the world enlightened and climb the shore together. According to the Lotus Sutra, "If you are afflicted with sentient beings and call them famous, the Bodhisattva will be liberated by immediately observing their sounds, and they will be called Avalokiteshvara." ”

After reading this sentence, you can know the purpose of the World-Honored One.

Among the people, Guanyin also has an inseparable relationship between the West and China.

The boat of the years drifted from ancient times, drifting and drifting in the long river of history, and anchored in the last years of the Zhou Dynasty.

The countries of the Central Plains are conquering each other, multiplying each other's swords and soldiers, and the connection is incomprehensible, and people are making trouble without a safe place and a pure land in the wilderness. At that time, the western Xinglin country was in the era of peace, the wind and rain were smooth, and the country was peaceful and peaceful.

Speaking of this Xinglin country, among the countries of the Western Regions, it can be called a majestic and independent power, leading the states. However, due to the topography, it has never been connected to the Central Plains, and the two sides are isolated. This is only for the two countries, separated by a Mount Meru.

This mountain, as high as the sky, is thousands of miles wide, lying across the northwest plateau, as if it was born with a boundary.

At that time, the traffic was inconvenient, although the people of the Central Plains knew that there was this famous mountain, just because this mountain was deep and dangerous, and the climate was extremely cold, and the snow on the mountain was the summer weather, and it generally did not melt, and finally no one dared to venture westward.

At that time, the information of the Xinglin Kingdom was closed, so naturally it would not communicate with China.

Among the tribes in the west, this Xinglin country has the longest history, and the civilization is relatively early, and it occupies a land of 36,000 miles, hundreds of thousands of people, and naturally grows for a long time.

The king of Xinglin Kingdom is surnamed He Mingjia, and he is called King Miaozhuang because of the year name.

He Jia is not the emperor who succeeds his father, but a man who is both wise and brave. On the racecourse, he won the championship repeatedly, with a bow and arrows, he wore a hundred steps through the Yang, danced and inked, he "wrote a thousand words and relied on the horse", and the hand-held sheep is a flower. At the age of eighteen, he was shocked and prosperous because of his talent; Twenty Gangman has been elected as the monarch of Xinglin State.

He ruled over tens of millions of subjects, and his territory was thousands of miles wide. Queen Bao Yin, Queen Fang, name Bao Yin, and King Miao Zhuang have the same life.

Xinglin Country is located in the north of the Broken Leaf Country, and is named after the lush bamboo forest. The climate there is mild, and the seasons are like spring; The land is fertile, and the subjects are diligent. The time, the place, the people, the three are sufficient, the country and the people, the wind and rain are smooth, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the life is abundant, and everything is smooth.

King Miaozhuang was a young man, devoted himself to making meritorious contributions, he treated his ministers with righteousness, governed the people with courtesy, dealt with the world with Taoism, and treated his parents with filial piety. It can be called: benevolence and righteousness, Taoism is in line with the heart of heaven, merit and insects and plants, and the people are all gracious. The elders only sighed that their longevity was too short, and they were reluctant to leave this peaceful and prosperous world, and the young people felt that they had caught up with the good times, and secretly wished King Miaozhuang eternal life.

As the saying goes, "There are thousand-year-old trees in the mountains, and it is rare to find a hundred-year-old person in the world." Don't look at being an emperor all year round, people shout to him, "Hurrah!" Banzai! Hooray!" In fact, his lifespan is not necessarily as long as that of the mountain people who "have homes in the depths of the white clouds".

King Miao Zhuang is a person who understands, he neither asks for any immortal medicine, immortal prescription, nor does he expect himself to live forever. I just want to pass on the eternal inheritance that I have created with my own hands to my children and grandchildren, and I am satisfied.

There is a way: there are treasures in the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars; There are treasures in the land, and the five grains are gardened; The country has a treasure, a loyal minister and a good general; There are treasures in the family, filial sons and grandchildren. Although King Miaozhuang has no filial sons and grandchildren, he is not in a hurry, because he is still young and strong, like a seedling about to rise, like the beginning of the sun, and he is afraid that he will not have children in the future? !

It's a pity that others don't fight for their lives. After ascending the throne for ten years, except for Queen Baoyin, who gave birth to two "daughters" for him, the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courts were not happy.

King Miaozhuang is the lord of the country, rich in the world, but there is only one thing, which is not something that the king can grab with his might, nor can he buy gold and silver, but there are only two princesses under his knees, and there is no prince.

King Miaozhuang is already in his sixties, and there is no heir, so he naturally hopes for his son. Because of this, he often made him sullen, and sometimes he had to sigh for a long time.

As the saying goes, "Zixi can't be bought with money, and it can't be used with strength", even if he is troubled, it is useless in the end.

He passed day by day in an environment of hope and anxiety and sorrow. Spring goes to autumn, and it is a few years in a hurry.

In the long summer of this year, a pool of white lotus in the imperial garden is competing in the wind, and the fragrant mist is frivolous. Queen Bao Yin felt that the king of Miaozhuang was depressed in the past few days, so she set up a banquet in the pavilion of the lotus pond, and invited the king of Miaozhuang to drink and relax.

In the heart of King Miaozhuang, although he was uncomfortable with the issue of heirs, he couldn't help but smile with the kindness of Queen Baoyin. On the one hand, looking at the ten thousand white lotus flowers in the pool, jagged open, lined with turquoise lotus covers, elegant and lovely. The breeze passed by, trembling gently, as if a shy expression, and the faint fragrance also spread from the wind, refreshing people's hearts.

In this kind of environment, King Miaozhuang also feels that there is a different world, it is very interesting, and the sadness in his heart has long been blown away by the breeze, and the lotus fragrance is gone.

In this way, he and Queen Bao Yin exchanged glasses, drank heartily, and talked and laughed. When Queen Bao Yin saw that he was happy, she also rejoiced in herself, and she personally held a pot and poured wine, and ordered the concubines to sing and dance at a feast. Exactly: laughter, music, and scenery. In such a trouble, it has long been the bright moon slanting westward.

King Miaozhuang had too much wine, and he didn't feel that Yushan was declining, so he took advantage of a group of wine, ordered to withdraw from the table, supported Gong'e, and took Queen Baoyin, and went back to the palace to rest in peace.

When King Miaozhuang woke up, it was already a red sun.

Queen Bao Yin had already finished freshening up, so she served King Miaozhuang to get up, and after letting him wash, she prepared her diet and said to King Miaozhuang: "The concubine had a strange dream last night, I don't know what the lord is?" I dreamed of a place that was exactly what the seaside looked like, a white expanse, boundless and shoreless, with surging waves, and I was very afraid of people. ”

After Queen Bao Yin finished speaking, she described the dream again seriously, saying, "The concubine was looking at the room, and suddenly there was a loud 'sting', and a golden lotus flower gushed out of the sea. When it first comes out of the water, it is the size of an ordinary lotus flower, and it is very close to the surface of the water. Unexpectedly, this golden lotus flower grew taller and taller, and the golden light became more and more dazzling, and he couldn't even open his eyes. So, the concubine closed her eyes for a while, and when she opened them again, where was the golden lotus? Standing in the middle of the sea, it is a sacred mountain at the end of the mountain, but there seem to be many overlapping pavilions on the mountain, as well as the treasure tree and rare birds, the dragon and the white crane. These many scenes, far away, faintly appear, are not real. There is only one mountain in the middle, and a seventh-level floating slaughter gushes out. On the top of the floating tu, there is a pearl placed upright, releasing thousands of strange lights, very solemn. The concubine was seeing that the pearl suddenly rose into the air, and in an instant it became a rising sun, gradually approaching the shore, and in a short time it was high above me. There was another loud bang, and the rising sun fell into my arms. I was so frightened that I was busy with my hands and feet, and I wanted to flee, but my feet seemed to have roots. I didn't feel that I had struggled so hard, but I woke up and slept in bed, and where was the sea, and the mountains, and all the sights? At this point, I knew that it was a dream of Nanke. After Queen Bao Yin finished describing it vividly, she looked at King Miao Zhuang with no worries, "I don't know what kind of omen this dream is, what is the good luck of the lord?" ”

After patiently listening to Queen Baoyin's story, King Miao Zhuang secretly rejoiced in his heart and comforted Queen Baoyin: "What the royal wife saw in her dream is clearly the true form of the Elysium of the Buddha Kingdom, and it is rare for mortals to meet it, so it is naturally a good omen. Besides, the pearl is clearly a Buddhist relic, and it turns into a rising sun, which is the yang image; Throwing into your arms is a sign of pregnancy. The royal wife has this dream sign, and this pregnancy will definitely give birth to a man, which is really gratifying! ”

When Queen Grace heard this, she was naturally overjoyed. This matter spread throughout the palace, so there was great hope in the palace.
