Xuanzang was slightly stunned.

"It was summoned by His Majesty."

Yuanjing exclaimed,

"This ...... Does the mage still have the power to spare? ”

"Your Majesty has a will, I'm afraid it's hard to shirk it."

Yuanyin was busy:

"Yes, Your Majesty has a will, Master Xuanzang is still more involved, let's go to the palace."

"Being able to bring the Dharma to His Majesty the Emperor and let His Majesty hear the Dharma is also a good thing for my Buddhism!"

All the monks nodded.

Of course they want Xuanzang to go to the palace! For Buddhism, this is beneficial and harmless!

Even His Majesty the Emperor asked Xuanzang to preach the Fa, so don't everyone in the world have to rush to listen?

The rise and fall of Buddhism is inseparable from the emperor's preferences.

If the emperor is happy, he will worship Buddha like Emperor Wu of Liang; If it is evil, it is Emperor Taiwu of Wei who destroyed the Buddha!

"The poor monk understands."

Xuanzang nodded and said in a deep voice,

"I will enter the palace and talk to His Majesty about the Dharma."

"Rest early."

"Amitabha."

"Amitabha." All the monks clasped their hands together and watched Xuanzang leave.

"Master Xuanzang's body, I really can't see the slightest trace of worldly energy."

Yuanyin couldn't help but admire,

"Following him, it seems that the whole person has calmed down, and all kinds of desires and delusions have also fallen silent."

"It's so good, I must follow him and practice hard in the future."

When the monks heard this, they all thought so.

Xuanzang's unique temperament affected everyone present!

"If people can really become Buddhas, then Master Xuanzang will definitely be able to."

Yuan Jing said softly,

"If even he can't achieve it, then I'm afraid that I will have no hope for many lifetimes......"

……

It's night.

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Shimin did not meet Xuanzang in the upper study, but arranged the location in the queen's bedroom.

"See Your Majesty."

Xuanzang looked at Li Shimin sitting on the stone chair and saluted respectfully.

"Master Xuanzang, he is really a talent."

Li Shimin beckoned and said with a smile,

"Sit, sit."

"Your great perseverance and determination really make me feel admired!"

"Thousands of miles away, tirelessly, after hardships and hardships, you have to go to Tianzhu to seek the true scriptures, to be honest, with this courage, there is nothing in this world that cannot be done!"

"I'm a little curious, why do you have such a strong desire to take the Buddhist scriptures?"

He didn't say too much pleasantries, and he cut to the chase when he came up.

Xuanzang smiled slightly and responded:

"For the sake of Prajna wisdom, for attaining the attainment of the three bodhisattvas, for enlightenment, and for true liberation."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.

"What is the three bodhisattvas?"

Xuanzang continued to respond:

"This is Sanskrit, and when translated into Chinese, it is supreme enlightenment."

"In the past, the Buddha sat down under the Bodhi tree, made a great vow, and could not get up without preaching, and finally he sat for seven days and seven nights, and finally realized that what he realized was this supreme enlightenment."

"This is also the ultimate pursuit of all Buddhist students."

Li Shimin bowed slightly.

"Tianzhu, is there really a Buddha? How much divine power does he have? ”

He asked curiously.

"Buddha, naturally, existed, but he had attained nirvana hundreds of years ago."

Xuanzang Dao,

"Your Majesty may have misunderstood the Buddha and thought that he was a figure like a god."

"Actually, in Sanskrit, Buddha means enlightened being."

"If it is changed to Chinese, it is almost the same as attaining the Tao."

Li Shimin was stunned.

"That's ...... so"

He laughed,

"That's wrong, I always thought that the Buddha had great magical powers, and it only existed in legends."

"I didn't expect him, like Lao Tzu and Confucius, to be a living person in history."

"Since you are a human being, you don't have supernatural powers, and you will be born, old, sick and die?"

In this question, Li Shimin also wants to unveil the mystery of the Buddha of the Western Heavens.

However, Xuanzang shook his head.

"There are supernatural powers, but the Buddha does not advocate the use of supernatural powers, and wisdom without using them is the right way."

He answered,

"And the supernatural power is not what mortals think, flying to the sky and the earth, omnipotent."

"Divine powers, it's just the ability that the six roots will naturally appear after they are truly pure."

"The reason why mortals have lost all kinds of abilities is because they are burdened by troubles and delusions, and they are blinded by the six roots, and their minds are not clear, so they have no supernatural powers."

Li Shimin stroked his beard.

Xuanzang's tone was very steady, but there was a sense of certainty, which made people can't help but believe his words.

"The Buddha will also be born, old, sick and die, but he will not fall into samsara. The birth, old age, sickness and death of the Buddha are all manifestations to the world. ”

Xuanzang continued,

"After his rebirth is nirvana, the Dharma body returns to the Dharma realm, and the incarnation manifests in the vast world to save sentient beings."

Li Shimin smiled.

"I don't believe it."

He said,

"What Dharma Realm Dharma Body, incarnation, I only know the physical body."

"If the Buddha is really that powerful, why didn't he live in the flesh?"

"If that's the case, don't say it's me, everyone in the world will believe in Buddhism! Buddhism is directly the first Dharma in the world! This world has become a Buddha country! ”

"Did you say no?"

Xuanzang also smiled slightly, and responded:

"Your Majesty's question, it is very complicated to answer, and I can't explain it in a few words."

"The poor monk can understand His Majesty's doubts, because the poor monks in the past had the same confusion."

"In fact, the Buddha once said that he could live in this world for a long time, but for various reasons, in the end he chose to manifest Nirvana."

"But the poor monk heard that the Buddha's disciple Mahakalye, as well as his own son Venerable Luo Yun, are in the middle of the meditation and have lived for a long time, and there are even rumors that the Venerable Kasa Ye entered the Jizu Mountain in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, waiting for Maitreya to come into the world."

Li Shimin was taken aback.

"Venerable Kasya?"

He replied,

"Then I sent someone to find it?"

If there really is a person who lives forever, wouldn't finding him prove that people can live forever?!

Li Shimin used to scoff at Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for their pursuit of immortality.

But now, as I get older, my body ages.

His mentality has also quietly changed......

If a man can really live forever, then he must pursue it!

"The poor monk promises that His Majesty will not be able to find it."

Xuanzang smiled and groaned,

"Only His Holiness wants to see people, so that someone can meet him."

"Even if you meet, you may not be able to recognize each other, let alone deliberately explore."

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"Why do I think you're fooling me?"

He was displeased,

"It's amazing what you say, but you can't see it, so it's not just your mouth that says it?"

Xuanzang smiled again.

"It's nonsense that Your Majesty can be a poor monk, but a poor monk is a monk and doesn't speak."

"The poor monk has said everything he knows and believes, and as for whether His Majesty believes it or not, that is His Majesty's business."

No matter what Li Shimin said, his attitude was not disgusted or disliked from beginning to end.

This temperament is also quite popular with Li Shimin.

"Well, let's not talk about that for now."

Li Shimin turned to say,

"I've been troubled a lot over the years, and I've often had nightmares at night."

"I heard that Buddhism can make people's hearts pure, do you have any good ideas?"

Xuanzang clasped his hands together.

"I think about it during the day, and I dream about it at night. Please tell me why you are troubled? ”

Li Er sighed lightly and pointed to the eldest grandson in the room.

"My queen fell into the water, and she has been unconscious for many years since she was rescued."

He whispered,

"Every time I think of the past and her bits and pieces, I can't help but cry, and my heart is full of endless troubles and sorrows."

"These days, the feeling of longing is even stronger, alas, ......"

Regarding Guanyin's infatuation, Li Shimin is older and heavier.

Several times, he shouted in his sleep—

Guanyin, Guanyin! How can I live without you, Guanyin......

Repeatedly woke up from this, and then was stunned and could not sleep again.

"I see, Your Majesty is also an infatuated person."

Xuanzang's first word,

"It seems that the relationship between the queen mother and Her Majesty is very deep."

Li Shimin nodded again and again.

"That's naturally very deep!"

"I feel that without her, I am so miserable!"

Xuanzang groaned slightly, raised his head and said:

"The poor monk tried to relieve His Majesty...... Does Your Majesty know about dependent voidness? ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly.

"I know this, I've seen some of them in the Buddhist scriptures, and I've asked the master to talk about them."

He said,

"That's the Buddha's view of the world, right?"

"Everything in this world is illusory and empty...... Right? ”

"What does Master Xuanzang mean by letting me be bearish? Don't care? ”

Xuanzang heard this, but he laughed dumbly.

"Of course not."

"The Buddha said that dependent arising is void, all things are self-void, but he does not deny the existence of dependent arising, and this dependent arising is the foundation of the aggregation and development of all things."

Li Shimin listened carefully.

Xuanzang's opinion is naturally stronger than that of the previous Yizhi Master.

"It's like this stone table."

Xuanzang pointed to the table in front of him and said,

"It's a stone table now, but ever?"

"It used to be a stone." Li Shimin replied without thinking.

"And before the stone?" Xuanzang asked again.

Li Shimin: "......"

He couldn't answer that.

"Originally, there was no such stone."

Xuanzang Dao,

"Millions of years of change, migration, and aggregation, countless invisible fine gravel, under the aggregation of various causes and conditions, formed a stone."

"In millions of years, it will come to His Majesty in front of His Majesty and become a stone table under the convergence of various causes and conditions, through the hands of craftsmen."

"So, in a million years, what will become of this stone table?"

Li Shimin: "......"

He didn't respond, but his brow was furrowed, and he was lost in thought.

"Something else, or decay and weather, dissipate and become invisible?"

After a while, Li Er responded.

Xuanzang smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty is right, so now, if you look at this stone table again, is it still the reality?"

He asked,

"What it presents is reality, but its nature is emptiness."

"Because of its origin, it now converges into a stone table, but eventually, it will return to its own nature."

"All sentient beings, all things, eventually return to their own nature, and to see their own nature is to become a Buddha."

A hint of realization rose on Li Shimin's face.

"You...... It seems to have persuaded me a little. ”

He said,

"Then what does this have to do with the queen?"

I have to say that Buddhism's theory of emptiness is indeed reasonable, and if you look at it over time, everything is indeed emptiness!

"The poor monk just said that it was the origin."

Xuanzang Zhengsedao,

"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are married, this is the convergence of karma."

"The queen mother fell into a coma, which was also caused by various karma."

"Karma is changing all the time, maybe the next moment, maybe in a few years, when the fate is mature, the queen mother will naturally wake up and reunite with Your Majesty, why should Your Majesty be sad because of this?"

Li Shimin's expression was grim.

"You mean, the queen will wake up?!"

He didn't listen to the nonsense, and got to the point!

Xuanzang nodded.

"Since the queen mother has the fate of being in a coma, she will inevitably have the fate of waking up again."

"The poor monk believes that the queen mother will definitely wake up."

Li Shimin frowned.

"I don't want you to believe it! I want a definite conclusion! ”

He said,

"Don't be sloppy with me!"

"You say, can the queen wake up? Can or can't! I want a letter! ”

Xuanzang did not hesitate, and said:

"Yes."

Li Shimin's brows suddenly stretched, and his eyebrows smiled.

"Okay, okay...... With the words of the holy monk, I am relieved. ”

He said,

"My faith, this time it's a little bit more."

"The Master is speaking for me today, and I am very happy in my heart! The Dharma is indeed vast and profound! I have also seen the ability of the mage, and it is indeed extraordinary! ”

"It is worthy of the holy monk who came back from Tianzhu! It's just different! ”

"Your Majesty has praised it." Xuanzang just smiled when he heard this compliment.

Of course, he knew that Li Shimin's focus was not on Buddhism, but on listening to the sentence in his mouth: 'The queen will definitely wake up'.

Of course, anyone can say this kind of auspicious words, but there are also people who can say it.

Compared with an ordinary person and an enlightened monk, the latter is naturally more credible and convincing.

"It's not bad, you have real skills!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said,

"If you enter the palace in the middle of the night, I won't let you work in vain!"

"Tell me, if you have any demands or desires, as long as it is reasonable, I can help you do it."

Xuanzang clasped his hands together and suddenly got up.

"Amitabha."

He said earnestly,

"Don't hide it from Your Majesty, the poor monk does have a request, and I ask Your Majesty to grant it."

"The monk who has no desires and no desires, in fact, he also has something to ask for, haha......" Li Shimin looked playful, raised his hand and said, "Okay, let's talk about it." ”

Xuanzang's face remained unchanged, and he said:

"The poor monk wants to ask for a quiet place where he can translate Buddhist scriptures quietly and without being disturbed."

"The greatest wish of the poor monk in this life is to translate all the 657 Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures he brought into Chinese, so that all those who study Buddhism and learn from the Buddha in the Tang Dynasty can learn from them."

"If this long-cherished wish can be achieved, the poor monk will have no regrets if he dies."

"Your Majesty, please."
