Suburbs of Chang'an.

Xuanzang walked in the front, and behind him was a group of retinues, as well as a carriage carrying scriptures.

Along the way, anyone who heard about his legendary deeds couldn't help but admire with joy, and some people volunteered to uphold the Fa-rectification and followed them all the way to Chang'an.

"Holy monk, there is Chang'an ahead."

The attendant beside him pointed to the magnificent city in front of him and said with a smile,

"Looking at the past, it's crowded!"

"It seems that they all heard about your deeds and came to greet you!"

"Chang'an, it's going to become a Buddha city! Holy monk, are you happy? ”

Xuanzang raised his eyes slightly.

Although it was still a little far away, he had good eyesight, and he did see countless people gathered outside the city gates, as if to greet him.

"Why be happy?"

Xuanzang clasped his hands together and said softly,

"When the poor monk returns to Chang'an, he will not be happy because someone welcomes him, nor will he be depressed because no one cheers."

"The heart is pure, only the law is happy."

"Let's go, I have to go back to Xingguo Temple today, and it is right to settle the scriptures I took well."

The hardships experienced in the past ten years are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Xuanzang's heart has long been a rock, as if it does not move.

"The realm of the holy monk is really high."

The entourage gave a thumbs up and was heartily amazed.

The group moved forward again.

And the monks of Xingguo Temple, headed by Yuanjing, have long been standing outside the city gate and looking forward to it.

Under the convening of Yuanjing, all the monks from Chang'an and even the surrounding capitals gathered here to welcome Xuanzang's return!

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the biggest event of Datang Buddhism!

So, it must be matched with the largest scale!

But no matter how many monks there are, there are only a few hundred, and compared with the thousands of ordinary people who participated in the free clinic, it is completely a drop in the ocean.

"I said, did Sun Simiao deliberately insert such a kick horizontally?"

"Yes! There is no free clinic in the morning, no free clinic in the evening, but it is chosen at this juncture, which is clearly ......"

“……”

Some of the monks whispered, looking quite dissatisfied, even resentful.

All of a sudden, my anger rose!

"Silence."

Round and deep voice,

"Master Xuanzang is coming, don't talk nonsense."

"Discipline elders, watch the words and deeds of the monks."

"Yes." The precept elders looked at the monks with their eyes like torches.

Suddenly, no one dared to say more.

Just because you don't speak doesn't mean you don't have emotions – many monks don't have that much to do.

In their opinion, Daomen is deliberately making the stumbling man disgust them this time!

This field will have to be found sooner or later!

At this moment, a monk trotted over and said in a loud voice:

"Presiding abbot, presiding abbot!"

"Sun Zhenren's free clinic is over! Just ended! ”

When the monks heard this, they were all stunned.

Yuanjing smiled slightly.

"The old man said before that Sun Zhenren is a master, how can he use the methods in your mouth?"

He turned to look at the monks and said in a deep voice,

"The reason why you think so much about others is precisely because your hearts are not clean and clear! And so it came out! ”

"Repent! Amitabha. ”

The monks who had just chewed the root of their tongues were all ashamed at the moment.

"Amitabha."

A Buddha trumpet praised, and all the anger and resentment in the air dissipated.

"Senior Brother Abbot, it's my villain's heart."

Yuanyin also dispelled his hatred at this time, and repented,

"Sun Zhenren is indeed a master, and I admit all your punishments."

“…… However, now that there are a large number of people at the city gate, should we take advantage of this last time to publicize and publicize? ”

"It's a grand event, so I simply brought it over, I'm really unwilling in my heart!"

Before, they were trying to warm up.

But because Sun Simiao's free clinic 'exploded' in Chang'an, they couldn't do anything at all, so they didn't have much heart to publicize.

And now, Sun Simiao's sudden end to the free clinic is equivalent to leaving them with a large audience, and they can completely publicize it while it is hot and start this grand event again!

When the monks heard his words, their eyes lit up.

Although Buddhism emphasizes that everything is empty, ordinary monks do not have that kind of understanding, and they have not even read a few Buddhist scriptures, so they are naturally no different from ordinary people.

Name, of course, still want to ask.

When Yuanjing heard this, he was also a little moved.

“…… Well, for the sake of the Dharma, go ahead and do it. ”

He groaned slightly, and agreed,

"However, don't bother the common people, let them see what they are willing to see, and don't force them to ignore those who don't want to or slander."

When the monks heard this, they all agreed and quickly made a move.

After a while, the flow of people began to surge.

"Master Xuanzang? Coming back from Tianzhu? Awesome! Tianzhu really has a Buddha?! Let's take a look...... Look what this holy monk looks like! ”

"His perseverance is really great, I heard that he walked for thirteen years and overcame countless difficulties to find the true scriptures, I really have to look at ......"

"I didn't see a doctor today, I'm not in the mood...... I have to find a way to stay in Chang'an for a few days......"

"Oh, it's all here, and it's not bad for this time, it's rare!"

"That's what I said......"

The Tang people all love to join in the fun, and as soon as they heard the legendary story of Xuanzang, they immediately decided to stay and take a look.

Take a few more looks, it can also be used as a talking point after dinner!

After a while, the crowd began to gather! The people got the news that the holy monk Xuanzang was about to arrive!

The commander of the city looked at the growing number of people, and his forehead began to sweat again......

"What crazy have you been these days! Lao Tzu is under so much pressure......"

……

Tai Chi Palace, upper study.

"Just add the son of Yi Nan as the khan, this is a trick."

Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, and said,

"Let their father and son fight!"

"It can be regarded as dividing Xue Yantuo's forces, they have been too arrogant over the years, and they have invaded a lot of my Tang Dynasty's territory, I think it's almost time, I have to teach them a lesson!"

Fang Xuanling was taken aback.

"Your Majesty doesn't want to use troops again, does he?"

He hurriedly said,

"Never! The Battle of Gaochang has just ended, and you need to rest! ”

Your Majesty, your belligerent heart is bursting! Wage war in a row!

If you have gold and silver at home, you can't be like this!

"Hehe, I just said that, what are you anxious about?"

Li Shimin said with a smile,

"Just do what I say."

"Also, after the beginning of spring next year, I plan to send envoys to Siyi, especially the countries of Xue Yantuo, Goguryeo, Qiuzi, and Yanqi, to focus on taking care of them, exchanging exchanges, and understanding each other."

"What do you think?"

The two looked at each other.

"You can't do it."

This proposal is normal, and there is no reason to refute it.

But the moment the two walked out of the upper study, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but say:

"I think Your Majesty still wants to use soldiers......"

"In the past few years, several countries have been destroyed one after another, and although the countries are large, they are warlike...... Alas. ”

He was a little worried.

Datang is very wealthy now, but after all, the foundation is still thin, and the total amount is even worse than in the previous Sui Daye years.

Emperor Yang of Sui's solid family business can be defeated, and if Datang takes the wrong path, it is very easy to lose money.

"Your Majesty has never been a belligerent king, and he has his own strategic layout for fighting."

The eldest grandson Wuji said,

"Besides, our Datang's tactic is to send out a cavalry raid and directly destroy the country!"

"Think about it, do you want to destroy Tuguhun and Gaochang, are they all quick battles? Not only did it not consume much, but it also harvested countless loot. ”

"The more you fight, the richer you get! How can this be a deficit? ”

Fang Xuanling was thoughtful.

"Besides, the current prince is benevolent, and when you think about it, Your Majesty also wants to cut through all the thorns and thorns for the prince when he is in his prime and clean up all those jackals, tigers and leopards."

The eldest grandson Wuji said with emotion,

"This Yinan Khan is the biggest jackal next to Datang! His Majesty wanted to kill it as soon as possible, lest it threaten the crown prince in the future. ”

"He's an old man, it's really hard work!"

……

Inside the upper study.

Li Shimin stared at the map, but heard a report coming.

"Your Majesty, Master Xuanzang has arrived in Chang'an."

Inner waiter.

"Oh?"

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said in surprise,

"So fast!"

The chamberlain nodded and responded:

"As soon as Sun Zhenren's free clinic ended, Master Xuanzang arrived, and hundreds of people crowded to watch, and the scene was almost uncontrollable."

"Master Xuanzang expressed his gratitude to the believers and the people, and went back to the temple with the monks of Xingguo Temple to settle down."

"It is said that in three days, he will open the altar at Xingguo Temple to talk about the authentic yoga."

Li Shimin bowed slightly.

"They are in harmony as if they had been agreed......

He said,

"It's good to be harmonious at all."

After a slight pause, Li Erdang even commanded:

"Spread the decree, let Master Xuanzang come to the palace and talk to me about Buddhism."

"I really want to know what true scriptures he has sought in Tianzhu, and I also want to know what realm he is now."

"Yes." The waiter retreated.

……

In the evening, Heungguksa Temple.

As soon as the 657 scriptures were settled in the Pavilion, dozens of monks began to copy the scriptures.

Although they can't read Sanskrit, it's always good to draw a cat and a tiger first!

It is necessary to get the manuscript out as soon as possible, so that the lineage can be considered stable.

Inside the incense hall.

Xuanzang bathed and changed his clothes, and he had changed into a robe.

"Amitabha."

Yuanjing put his hands together, and said with great respect,

"The mage is really a treasure and solemn, and we are amazed with joy."

Hundreds of monks in the hall clasped their hands together and saluted respectfully.

When was Xuanzang just a young monk in Xingguo Temple, although he was a little clever and wise, he didn't have much status.

At the very least, he is not qualified to be on an equal footing with Yuanjing.

But now, when Tianzhu returns, he is already the first person in the Tang Dynasty Buddhist world! All the respected old monks are not enough to see in front of him! All have to be respectful!

Of course, Xuanzang himself didn't feel anything, he didn't have that kind of posture of 'returning to his hometown with wealth', but he still treated people softly, no different from more than ten years ago.

"Amitabha, the abbot praised it."

Xuanzang also folded his hands and said with a light smile,

"What treasure does the poor monk have? It's nothing more than a skin. ”

"yes, yes, stinky skin." The round seal beside him replied in a loud voice, "The master's realm is really high, I'm afraid he has already achieved selflessness, right?" ”

Xuanzang shook his head.

"The skin is the skin, there is no need to add a stinky word, in fact, the skin is the body."

He said,

"Mahayana pays attention to the attainment of the three bodies, that is, the attainment of the Dharma body, the complete retribution, and the incarnation of hundreds of trillions of billions."

"Hinayana Buddhism, until the Dharma body is attained, the body is regarded as a stinky skin, and it does not cross people with incarnation, so Tianzhu calls Hinayana more than Nirvana as a self-made Han."

"The Mahayana Buddhism of saving oneself and others is the bodhisattva path, the Buddha's path."

When the monks heard this, they were all shocked, and under Xuanzang's narration, they seemed to have a little enlightenment.

"Is this Mahayana Buddhism?"

"Then all the Hinayana we practiced before were all wrong?"

"Master, please help us solve your doubts!"

The concept of a new 'Mahayana Dharma' has really hit them! Destroy their knowledge!

If you don't establish a correct view, all the monks present will fall into the devil's path!

"Of course not."

Xuanzang saw that the monks were confused, and said unhurriedly,

"Hinayana Buddhism is the foundation of Mahayana, and it is the way forward."

"Hinayana precepts and wisdom are the basis for practicing the Dharma, and only by holding the precepts and having concentration, and entering into concentration and being able to generate wisdom, and having true Prajna wisdom, can we contemplate the Dharma realm and attain the fruit of an arhat, and an arhat can turn to the bodhisattva path."

"Mahayana bodhisattvas also need to keep the vows, have concentration, and even more so, they need to practice deep prajnaparamita."

"At the beginning of the Heart Sutra, when contemplating the Bodhisattva of Freedom and Walking in the Deep Prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering."

When the monks heard this, they were relieved.

Hinayana is not wrong, it's just 'more than enough', not the ultimate method.

They don't have to worry about that.

Because they haven't even reached the end of their Hinayana cultivation! Who would dare to say that they have attained the status of an arhat? In the entire Tang Dynasty, there are not even a few Arhats in the first fruit, and they even say...... There are very few people who can truly meditate, and enter the first meditation.

"I see."

Yuanjing smiled and saluted Xuanzang,

"Thank you, Master, for teaching the Fa."

"What is the Heart Sutra that Master Shicai said? Can you tell us more about that? ”

"We respectfully invite the Venerable Master to come and give a lecture on the Dharma."

As he spoke, he knelt down directly and bowed to Xuanzang!

Poof! Poof!

Hundreds of monks knelt down and performed the five-body prostration!

They really can't wait, and now they want to hear about the Fa-rectification here in Xuanzang!

"Everyone, please."

Xuanzang lifted Yuanjing up, and said in the right color,

"The poor monk will definitely teach the Fa, but it will take a few days to prepare before he can have a charter."

"Otherwise, if you talk as you like, it will always be chaos, and the poor monks will understand, but you may be confused."

"So, let's start in three days, starting with this Heart Sutra, which is also the general outline of all Dharma insights."

Yuan Jing nodded again and again.

"Okay, okay, I'm in a hurry."

"It's time for the mage to rest, you've worked too hard all these years!"

"The largest meditation room in the temple has been cleaned for you, so go and rest first."

Xuanzang nodded.

In a hurry, he was indeed a little tired.

But at this moment, Yuanyin walked in and said with a wry smile:

"I'm afraid the mage won't be able to rest."

"There is a decree from the palace, and Your Majesty has asked the Master to come over and talk to you, and he wants to discuss the Dharma with you."
