Chapter 234 Reference to the Wisdom Seal
Wutai Mountain, according to the Yuan Dynasty to get the administrative and district division, in the province of Zhongshu.
In the chaotic and stormy period from the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the Zheng Dynasty, although Liu Futong's three-way Northern Expedition was affected, overall, Zhongshu Province was basically still under the control of the Yuan Court. Wutai Mountain is also basically relatively peaceful. Moreover, because of the coexistence of Han Buddhism and Zang Buddhism on Wutai Mountain, the people of Han and Tibet and other ethnic groups here are relatively harmonious.
This is not to say that the Dharma is boundless. Among them, there are also the reasons why the Buddhism of Wutai Mountain is too prosperous, and the secular society and life of the Wutai Mountain realm are inextricably affected. For example, Kweichow Moutai, Xiao Sheng saw a news the day before yesterday, which mentioned that the secretary of the municipal party committee of the city where the Moutai distillery is located later became the vice president of Moutai Group, or ranked sixth, and he also had to worship the ancestors of Moutai (?). It can be seen from this that Moutai Group has an impact on local politics, economy and culture.
Manjushri Ashram, Mount Wutai, the temples on the mountain, in the Yuan Dynasty, had a similar influence. You must know that in the final Yuan Dynasty, almost all the emperors of the past dynasties, countless dignitaries and nobles, all respected Wutai Mountain.
The reason for this is because Mount Wutai is the dojo of Manjushri. Manjushri has more merits and majesty than the sand of the Ganges, just like the surging river. More realistically, Manjushri was deeply respected by the Tibetan people and Lamaism in Tibet or later generations, and the Mongols came to dominate the Central Plains, facing the huge Han nationality and their later history and culture, so the Tibetan Tibet and Lamaism, which are prosperous Buddhism and are also ethnic minorities, are an excellent external edge and ally. This similar situation was also reflected in the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, it is only a one-way view for a young student who does not learn and has no skills to talk about it like this. You officials don't have to take it seriously, you don't have to take it seriously.
However, he said that Wuxu had reached the boundary of Wutai Mountain, and when he saw the sound of Buddha in front of him and the sandalwood rolling, he stopped flying, landed on the ground, turned into a small novice with his original face, and walked slowly towards Wutai Mountain.
The news that Zhao Tong secretly spread only said that the monks of the Outer Heaven were looking for something, which was related to Buddhism and reincarnation, but what was it, what was the effect, and where was it? Wu Xuan couldn't understand it, and in desperation, he had to run around the four avenues of Buddhism first.
But since you have come, then you must be respectful and not dismissive. Yes, Wuxu descended the clouds and walked on foot.
Ladies and gentlemen, seeing this, I guess I really can't help but ridicule and ridicule. Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, materials and novelties are emerging in an endless stream, and universal values such as freedom and democracy have swept the world. I'm holding an IPhone6 in my hand.,It's still 64G.。。 You can shoot whoever you want, you can shoot whoever you want, you are so free to be rich, and you are so capricious. This is an era of exalting individuality and despising authority.
These psychology and thoughts, Wuxu has experienced in later generations. To tell the truth, these psychology and thoughts are not unreasonable. But the reincarnation of enlightenment, the two lives of human beings, after going through hardships, but understanding some new truths, or the truths after repetition,
From the perspective of future generations, the sages and sages of the past generations naturally have limitations, but this limitation is historical; they even made many mistakes, but if you were to do it, I am afraid that there will be more mistakes, and the mistakes will be even greater. This is one of them.
Second, they all have beliefs, ideals and beliefs, in the final analysis, human history to the present, its ultimate value, and will never change is those, survival, fairness, justice, truth, goodness, beauty. If you have pursuits, if you have beliefs, if you have dreams, if you have goals, how can you not resonate, understand, sympathize, and respect these sages of the ages?
You know, because you are not alone, because you are improved, because you are treated like this by future generations?
In fact, this is a kind of inheritance, a kind of succession, a kind of great wish, a kind of perseverance and persistence.
In the later life of Wuxu, he has never worshiped Wutai Mountain. At this moment, although he is not like some pious monks and laymen, he bows three times and bows nine times, but he is also concentrating and calming, with an attitude of looking up to the mountains, step by step, towards Wutai Mountain.
On the way up the mountain, Wuxu looked at the top of the mountain, the five peaks, like a huge Buddha palm, in the thousands of clouds of light, the five fingers seemed to be curved and stretched, like to close and open, exuding Taoist aura and Buddha's breath. Realizing the void, his intention moved, he stretched out his right hand and gestured to the top of the mountain. Every time you take a step up the mountain, the distance or angle between Wuxu and the Buddha's palm changes slightly, and the clouds and clouds on the five fingers of the Buddha's palm also change, and the gesture of Wuxu's right hand also changes slightly.
As a result, on the mountain road, there was a young monk whose eyes seemed to be closed, his mouth was slurred from time to time, and his hands were indiscriminately gesturing on his chest. This strange young monk did not avoid pedestrians, saluted the master he met, did not enter the temple to worship the Buddha and offer incense, walked all the way to the mountain, circled around the five mountain platforms, and walked down the mountain again. Subsequently, he raised his palms in vain, encountered trees through the forest, waded through the river in the water, and re-ascended to the top of the mountain.
There are many monks and pilgrims on Wutai Mountain, and some people have long seen the abnormal situation of Wuxu, but they have not cared. There are too many such people and such things. Fortunately, pilgrims, it is not good to come forward to disturb the conversation, but there is a hint of respect in their curious eyes, but some monks turn a blind eye and do not say anything, and even occasionally show a trace of disdain in the corners of their eyes.
Jintai Mountain, Manjushri Bodhisattva Dojo. Mo said that there are countless believers who bow three times and bow nine times along the way, and there are many people who throw themselves into the body, and there are even those who believe in it and repent. And the Buddhist disciples who came from afar, as soon as they entered Baoshan, they felt something, or silently settled, or talked nonsense, and the monks of Wutai Mountain were also commonplace.
For those extremely devout believers, the monks of Wutai Mountain are merciful and loving, but for monks like Wuxu, who make all kinds of strange movements as soon as they enter the mountain, they are crazy, but they are not fake. The more believers are like this, the more devout they are, and the more generous they are. But you are also a person in Buddhism, you don't worship the mountain gate here, you don't ask your senior brother how to do it, but you have words in your mouth, dancing with your hands, how do you tell these monks on the mountain to think, how to deal with it? Do you surround you with the title of master, bow and worship, and then invite you into the temple and take a seat to make offerings? Do you know that you are not pretending to be a god and a ghost, and grandstanding?
When Wuxu walked to the top of the mountain for the sixth time, it was already dusk. There are five peaks in Wutai Mountain, the peak is like a platform, the so-called East Taiwan Wanghai Peak, West Taiwan Hanging Moon Peak, South Taiwan Jinxiu Peak, North Taiwan Yedou Peak, Zhongtai Cuiyan Peak. After Wuxu went up the mountain for the first time, he walked to Zhongtai Cuiyan Peak, went straight down the mountain from here, and then went straight up from the foot of the mountain to Dongtai Wanghai Peak. Then, like this, the east platform, the west platform, the south platform, and the north platform. Up and down, down and up, like six. If this is the sixth, for the last time, when I went to Beitai Ye Doufeng, it was almost dusk.
The setting sun dyed the five winds into a golden yellow, and the red and yellow clouds gradually darkened and slowly sank. A touch of afterglow, through the clouds, hit Wuxu's hands. At this time, countless evening class bells rang, and then, there were countless wooden fish sounds and chanting sounds. Wuxu slowly closed his hands, and his ten fingers were harmonious, like five peaks.
It wasn't until the end of the evening classes at the temples and the silence on the mountain that Wuxu Fang spread out his handprints, bowed his head and pondered for a while, and walked towards a temple. This temple is not large, only seven or eight houses.
When he walked to the gate of the temple, Wuxu stepped forward and knocked lightly on the copper ring, and after a long sound, there was an old monk holding an oil lamp, opened the door a crack, glanced at Wuxu, and asked, "It's getting late, what are you doing?"
Wuxu clasped his palms together and said, "The little monk has traveled here and wants to spend the night." ”
The old monk yawned and asked impatiently at the door, "Is there a yellow card?" Seeing that Wu was stunned, he did not answer. There was a slam, but the door was shut.
It was the first time that Wuxu was outside the gate of the temple. Moreover, this temple is a green temple, and there are also monks living in it, so why can't it be convenient? I was about to ask again what a temporary degree was. The old monk's voice came again, "The great lama of Dafu Linghu Temple has an order, and foreign monks must go to Dafu Linghu Temple to receive a yellow card before they can place an order on Wutai Mountain." ”
Only then did Wuxu remember that in the Tang Dynasty, there was a degree system. All monks can only be recognized as legitimate monks if they hold the degree. This is equivalent to proof of identity. But what is going on with this yellow card? I have never heard of it in the Dadu Tianyuan Yansheng Temple.
By this time, the old monk had already gone away. Wuxu thought about it, so he had to turn around and leave, find a cave at random, and continue to deduce the method of seeing the five peaks on the top of the mountain during the day, and vaguely realizing the mudra.
In the daytime, Wu Xuan looked at the five peaks on the top of the mountain, in the glow of the clouds, exuding a rich Buddha's breath, pulling countless aura, like a void, the Buddha's hand print, and he couldn't help but compare it. Unconsciously attached, he was actually in a secret, and then he simply sat upright in the Dharma Realm, his hands in exactly the same posture, gathering the Qi of Dharma Realm Annihilation, and moving slightly with the changes of the five peaks of the Buddha and the aura on the top of the mountain, and even the changes in the glow and clouds. At the end of the day, I walked almost half of Wutai Mountain, and I firmly remembered the form and charm of the five peaks from different directions.
In a low cave, Wuxu sat in the cold grass, his hands were in harmony with his fingers again, like five peaks, and it was the five-haired seal of Manjushri Bodhisattva;
After a while, the ten fingers of the body of the Enlightenment Void Divine Consciousness shot out ten spiritual powers, hitting the glass Buddha palm, and I saw that between the five fingers of the glass Buddha palm, the clouds transformed by the Buddha's breath and spiritual energy appeared a little golden light.
Suddenly, in the Dharma realm, the wooden fish did not knock on itself, the incense burner rose incense without fire, the body of the void divine consciousness was realized, and the lips opened slightly, and suddenly in countless Buddha horns, countless Sanskrit chanting, and countless chanting, the five fingers of the glazed Buddha's palm gradually turned into five golden swords.
At the same time, above the ten fingers of Wuxu's body, five golden rays of light also flew out, like a flying sword.
Wuxu Divine Consciousness sensed it in the Dharma Realm, and then his mind moved, and the five sword-like golden lights outside the body spun and flew around Wuxu, like a Dharma Protector Sword Array. The stone walls of the cave turned silently into powder under the golden light.
Realizing the void, his consciousness returned to his place, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the space of the originally narrow cave had become two or three times larger. It can be seen that these five golden swords are powerful.
This is the first time that Wuxu has comprehended the move by himself, and his heart is naturally extremely happy. Therefore, when several figures in the distance flew towards the cave where they were in a menacing manner, Wuxu scattered his handprints, withdrew the ban, raised his head slightly, and looked at the entrance of the cave with a smile.
When a few lamas walked in with gloomy faces, Wuxu sat there, clasping his hands together, "Nan Wu Master Shakyamuni Buddha, all senior brothers, you are here, and you are not welcome." ”
The first person, holding a ring knife in his hand, looked at Wuxu for a moment, and then shouted, "Where did the Nanbarian Wild monk come from, he didn't report to the Dafu Vulture Temple, and hid in this wilderness late at night, what did he do?"
As soon as his voice fell, he didn't wait for Wuxu to answer, and the two lamas behind him, holding the copper rods dyed red at both ends with both hands, stepped forward and stood on the left and right of Wuxu, with fierce faces, as if they were about to hit the copper stick in their hands on the ground at any time.
This battle is as if the government and the yamen want to kill the mighty stick. Wuxu immediately let go of his momentum and roared, shaking the three people away.
But they said that these three people were shaken out of the cave and fell to the ground, and after a while, they got up, and looked at each other in horror.
"Snow/Mountain/Lion/Son/Roar?!"
"It's miserable, I can't imagine offending the master of this sect. How's that okay?"
"But why is he dressed as a Nanban monk?"
"Who knows? You and I should go and make amends and thank the master for not killing him. ”
The three men limped to the entrance of the cave, knelt on their knees, and said respectfully, "Guru atons for your sins." We are the disciples of the Dafu Vulture Temple, the Dorjee Grand Lama, because of the patrol of the mountain, disturbed the master's Qing Xiu, and there is no way to die. He shouted several times, but there was no response.
The three of them didn't dare to trespass, and after standing for a stick of incense, they had no choice but to fly back to the Dafu Vulture Temple and tell the Dorjee Grand Lama about it.
After Wuxu shook these three people away, he didn't want to do much, so he flew away. But he never heard what these three people said later, he flew out of more than 100 miles, came to Nantai Jinxiu Peak, found a new cave, laid down a ban, and continued to comprehend the Five Wisdom Sword. The so-called Five Wisdom Sword is the five golden light swords that Wuxu has only realized; because it is Wuxu Seeing Wutai Mountain, it is led by the five haired seals of Manjushri Bodhisattva, so it refers to Manjushri Bodhisattva holding a wisdom sword, and named it the Five Fingers Wisdom Sword, referred to as the Five Wisdom Sword.
Early the next morning, Wuxu came out of the cave and walked along the mountain road towards the Puji Temple of Nantai Mountain. Yesterday I realized the Dharma, but today I want to pay respectful homage to Manjushri.
Along the way, the smoke and green mountains are like splendor, between the peaks and loops, the Buddhist pagoda can be seen everywhere. But where the mountain gate is wide open, regardless of the green temple and the yellow temple, Wuxu will be treated equally, enter the temple and walk away, and worship it. When I arrived at Puji Temple, after Wuxu worshipped, I walked around the temple a few times, and I felt it carefully, but there was nothing peculiar.
As he walked out, he smiled bitterly, "The thing Zhao Tong said, if it is really a treasure, provokes such a great effort in the world, how can it be found casually? I am afraid that even if I have traveled all over the four major avenues, there may not be any news." What's more, this treasure is related to Buddhism and reincarnation, and it is not necessarily hidden in the Buddhist dojo. When he came to Wutai Mountain, although he was deducing the five-fingered wisdom sword, he was always holding the five-haired seal of Manjushri Bodhisattva, and now that a day and a night have passed, he can not have a trace of induction with Manjushri Bodhisattva. It's as if you can't sense Guanyin Bodhisattva. Thinking of the end, Wuxu's face was really bitter.
Walking through a side hall leaning against the main entrance of Puji Temple, a voice came out, "Amitabha, the sea of suffering is boundless, and the back is the shore." ”
Wuxu couldn't help but stop, because this voice contained a trace of spiritual power, and it sounded like spring thunder in his ears, and more importantly, Wuxu was facing the mountain gate, if he walked another hundred steps, he would go out.
Wuxu slowly turned around, but the side hall seemed to fly thousands of meters, only a corner was exposed in the heavy bamboo forest, surrounded by sandalwood, the flowers and trees just passed, and the noisy sound of the temple seemed to disappear.
Wuxu hesitated for a moment, raised his feet and took a step forward, and the scenery in front of him changed again, and he was already standing in a Buddhist hall. On the shrine, Manjushri Bodhisattva has a golden body of Buddha, with five buns on his head, sitting on the back of a lion, holding a sword in his right hand and a lotus flower in his left hand, with a sutra on it. In front, there is an old monk with a dragon clock, his hands standing on his chest, and the left and right five fingers are also faintly corresponding to harmony.
Surprised, could it be the incarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva? Hurriedly bowed down and clasped his palms, and said, "Great Wisdom Manjushri Bodhisattva."
The old monk smiled slightly, "Old Wisdom Seal, I don't know where the master came from?"
Wuxu replied, "The little monk Wuxu has seen Master Zhiyin. ”
"It turned out to be Master Wuxu," the old monk, his right hand raised slightly, signaling to invite Wuxu to take a seat. After Wuxu sat down on the futon next to him, Fang said again, "Master Wuxu, I came from afar, I don't know what is the important matter in my Puji Temple?"
Wuxu recalled that he was talented, because he realized that the vast majority of monks in the world had gone to Lushan, and he had never found that there were great monks in the temple, so he looked around in Puji Temple, and explored with his divine sense, and couldn't help but show shame on his face, "There are many abrupt little monks in the world, and I hope that Master Zhiyin will forgive me." ”
"It doesn't matter. "Master Zhiyin, clasp your palms in return," Now that the southeast is in turmoil, the White Lotus Sect is struggling to support it in Yingtianfu. The old man just saw Master Wuxu, and he came in a hurry, as if he was looking for something, and he didn't know what it was? Can you say that he knew with the old man? In this way, the old man could do his best. ”
Wuxu's face was ashamed again, he pondered for a moment, and replied, "I can't hide it, the little monk came this time, not for the southeast, but to find something that closes the Buddha gate and reincarnation." ”
"What is about Buddhism and reincarnation?" Master Zhiyin, sitting on the futon, was silent for a long time, and finally said, "This is the Buddha Gate, and the world is reincarnation." ”
Wuxu was about to speak again, but Master Zhiyin shook his head, "The Dorjee Lama of the Dafu Vulture Temple ordered people to look for Master Wuxu everywhere. Lao Wei didn't know that he was Master Wuxu before, so he made a statement to draw the master to remind him of one or two. With that, he closed his eyes and fell into his mind. It seems that there is a meaning of sending off guests.
Seeing this, Wuxu sighed secretly, and only got out of the Buddha Hall.
Senior Brother Dorjee? Didn't he go up to the Lushan Lotus Dharma Peak with the National Master of Ba Sipa?
"Master Wuxu!" several lamas bowed down and ran over, "I have come to greet Master Wuxu on the orders of Master Dorjee. ”
Wuxu turned around and looked, the sandalwood in the side hall was swirling, and several pilgrims were kneeling on the futon, bowing to the statue of Manjushri on the Buddha shrine that was blackened by smoke.
"Master Wuxu, Master Dorjee is waiting for the Master at the Dafu Vulture Temple. , specially ordered me to come and wait to meet the Fa driver. Those lamas, who were already standing in front of Wuxu at this moment, spoke in a loud voice, their tone extremely humble.
Wuxu, with those lamas, walked out of Puji Temple, and looked back, the three words "Puji Temple" on the plaque are simple and vigorous, just because the years are long, there are already some historical mottles.
"Senior Brother Wuxu. A voice came from a distance, in the sky, the clouds were like white lotuses, and Dorjee sat on it, smiling at Wuxu.
Looking at Dorjee, who he hadn't seen for a long time, Wuxu also smiled slightly, flew on the sea of white lotus clouds, and headed towards the Dafu Vulture Temple.
That's right
Wutai refers to the wisdom seal, and the Buddha statue in Puji Temple is hidden.
The war in the southeast did not do its best, and the white lotus cloud sea was more auspicious.
