Chapter 15: Finding a Secluded Spot in the Mountains of Koya (Part 2)
~~ Recommend a "Xinghan Room" written by a water friend, travel through the Han Dynasty to present the emperor, and Xing my Han Dynasty is mighty!
The good and fearless Sanzang also accepted a famous apprentice, who was the first master in history to measure the meridian.
Later, due to the destruction of Buddhism by Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty and the continuous wars of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Tantra, which relied too much on classics, ritual instruments and religious rituals, gradually disappeared in China, and only the Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism introduced to Tibet by Guru Padmasambhava in India in the eighth century AD has been flourishing.
During this period, the Esoteric Buddhism passed down by the Great Ri Rulai has been carried forward by the eight great patriarchs, so that the Esoteric Dharma can flourish and the Dharma lamp will not be extinguished.
Esoteric Buddhism originated in India, passed through Huaxia (Tang Mi), and was passed down to Japan through Kukai (Kobo Daishi), creating an independent sect "Shingon Buddhism", during which it passed through the Eight Patriarchs, which is called the Eight Ancestors of Shingon.
These eight lineages are orderly, namely the Great Day Nyorai, Vajrasattva, Nagarjuna, Ryuchi Bodhisattva, Vajra Wisdom Sanzang, Bukong Sanzang, Huiguo Monk, and Kukai Master.
The first four are all famous Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist scriptures, and legend has it that when Master Tang Xuanzang Sanzang traveled to India, he learned Madhyamaka from the 700-year-old Longzhi Bodhisattva in Nalanda Temple, but it was the Vajra Wisdom Sanzang who got the true transmission of Longzhi Bodhisattva.
Vajra Zhi Sanzang is the third prince of the Central Indian king Ishnayama, Bukong Sanzang is a lion country, and at the age of fourteen he followed and served Vajra Zhi Sanzang. In 720 A.D. (the eighth year of Kaiyuan), he followed King Kong Zhi to Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty to teach the Dharma.
In the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan, King Kong Zhi Sanzang passed away in Luoyang Guangfu Temple, and it was not empty to get its true biography.
Huiguo monk surnamed Ma, a native of Chang'an, when he was nine years old, he studied the scriptures with his disciple Tan Zhen, and later was appreciated by Bukong and became his disciple. Hui Guo studied under the good and fearless disciple Xuan Chao, who was conceived by the Tibetan and Su Siddhi Dharma, never empty, received the Vajra Realm Tantric Method, and fused the two, and established the idea of 'Golden Fetus Non-Dual', which can be said to be the culmination of the Bodhisattva of Dragon Wisdom.
Monk Huiguo successively served as the national teacher of the three dynasties of Daizong, Dezong, and Shunzong, and was highly respected, and finally passed on the Dharma in Kukai.
Huiguo monk has learned all his life, and the only true inheritors are the disciples Kukai and Yoshiaki, Yoshiaki died young, in fact, Huiguo regarded as the heir of the mantle, that is, Kukai who had just known him for a few months.
That year, the monk Huiguo was 60 years old, and he knew that he was not long in life, and he taught Kukai all the Esoteric scriptures such as Indian sacred numbers, mandalas, Buddhist paintings, and Dharma tools.
Why did Monk Huiguo feel that this monk from Japan could be trusted with confidence?
As it turned out, Huiguo's foresight was indeed superior. In reality, Kukai could not be involved in the political struggle of the Tang court, and what he undertook was the rebirth after a Buddhist catastrophe.
Not long after Kukai left the Tang Dynasty, Tang Wuzong Li Yan implemented a series of "Buddha extermination" policies during his reign, that is, the famous Wuzong Buddha extermination. Since then, Tang Tantra has become extinct in mainland China, and only Tibetan Tantra has been circulated, commonly known as Tibetan Tantra.
In Japan, Kukai carried forward the Tang Dynasty Tantra of Master Huiguo and passed it down to this day. Not only that, Kukai also presided over the compilation of Japan's first kanji dictionary and created the Japanese hiragana, so the legend about him has always been popular with the Japanese people.
Kukai returned to Japan with the two tantric teachings of the Vajra and the Womb Realm, and upon his return, he was approved by Emperor Saga and agreed to choose a piece of land to establish his own ashram and spread Buddhism.
Kukai vowed to find a lotus treasure like Mount Wutai in China. However, he traveled all over Japan, looking at the mountains and rivers, and he was not satisfied.
On this day, gradually walking to the vicinity of Koyasan, there was a pair of white dogs and black dogs took the initiative to lead the way, Kukai followed forward, and suddenly found that there were eight peaks around the inside, just like the lotus flowers overlapped, blooming at the right time, and faintly fitting the shape of Vajra and the womb, just like the eight leaves and nine statues, and they were overjoyed, so they established their own dojo here.
This is the entire history of Dongmi's inheritance, which can be described as detailed and orderly.
Just after noon, there were not many people on the Nankai Railway Line on the train from Osaka to Koyasan in the south.
Perhaps because Osaka is far away from Tokyo, and although there have been changes in Tokyo, there have not been any reports of human or property damage, and there are also phone calls between relatives, friends, and colleagues who have reported that they are safe, so it seems that everything is still business as usual in Osaka.
However, there are many fewer tourists, and some foreign tourists in Japan have been warned by their embassies to terminate their travel in Japan and take the nearest flight to leave Japan. As a result, Kansai International Airport is more lively than other places.
"If it weren't for you, I would have rented a car like this to go to Koyasan, where would I still have to squeeze the train like now. While looking enviously at a Toyota Century stretch limousine speeding outside the car window, Sakurai Izumi pinched a mackerel sushi and stuffed it into his mouth, and kept complaining about Lu Xihua not far away, "The company has given me the highest holiday standards, we can rent a luxury car on the road, and we don't have to worry about those small money." ”
Lu Xihua ignored Izumi Sakurai, who was complaining, because a creature like a woman, you can't reason with her. She can always find all kinds of reasons to refute you in all aspects.
If you argue with her, you fall into her trap, and she will pull you into her circle of thinking and logic, and defeat you with her experience. When you're losing a lot, you realize that the topic is thousands of miles away from the original cause of the incident.
Instead, he narrowed his eyes, a smile on his lips.
It's finally waiting for you......
At this moment, on the Toyota Century stretch limousine, a conversation is underway.
"It was a real honor to have the opportunity to travel to Koyasan with Master Peacock. I don't know why, I was always panicked before, but this time I immediately settled down when I saw the master. The master is really profound in Buddhism~" A middle-aged fat man wiped the sweat from his head and sat on the sofa in the car with a smile.
The peacock waved his chopsticks, quickly holding the food in front of him, and his mouth was full, and he had no time to answer the words of the middle-aged fat man.
"Master, please don't be polite, eat more if you like, these foods can be favored by the master, and it is also their blessing. The middle-aged man was not annoyed that the peacock didn't have time to pay attention to himself, but became more attentive.
The peacock picked up a glass of chilled orange juice and drank it in two sips, only then did he let out a long breath, "The reason why President Araki is flustered is because he has done a lot of bad things~"
"How can there be anything, the matter of a year ago was solved by the master, you know the specific situation best~" The middle-aged fat man hurriedly shook his hand and denied it.
The fat man, Arakawa, is the chairman of a large and well-known distant-water fishing company and the president of several prefectural fishery associations, controlling the catch of dozens of seafood species throughout Japan and setting prices for hundreds, if not thousands.
Last year, a giant ocean-going fishing vessel under his name had an accident and was entangled by the legendary ship spirit, killing several crew members. In the end, he begged the peacock to take action and eliminated the strange ship spirit, which saved the fishing boat worth hundreds of millions of dollars, so his attitude towards the peacock was very respectful, because he had seen that kind of almost god-like means.
"Master Peacock just came back from Tokyo, I wonder if I know what happened in the sky over Tokyo?" said Chairman Arakawa, who turned the conversation to the hottest thing at the moment, so as not to burn himself.
"Some people say that it was Huangquan Castle that appeared, and it was going to swallow up the whole of Tokyo~" Chairman Arakawa said cautiously.
"No, Huangquan City is just a legend, if it appears in the human world, wouldn't it represent the Six Realms of Chaos? The peacock seemed to be indifferent, "But I think it might just be a ghost town, a ghost town in the Hungry Ghost Road that has come into contact with the breath of the world for some reason and wants to gush out." ”
"Evil Ghost City?!That's also a terrible thing, I don't know how your sect will deal with it without you, Master. I don't know why it is so urgent that the master who is outside must be recalled immediately. ”
"It was my master Tzukong Acharya who told me to go back, and I was in a hurry, otherwise I wouldn't have taken your car. For the incident in Tokyo, Sonai has dispatched the secret Gowabo, led by two adults, Lei Huo and Arashi, which is a sign of great importance. Peacock scratched the short hair on his head and explained.
After listening to the peacock's words, Chairman Arakawa pondered for a while and hesitated for a while, and then boldly asked, "Is it because of the matter with Oda Nobunaga that I invited you back?"
"Hmm, how did you think of him?" Peacock raised his head curiously and looked at President Arakawa, how did this man's head grow, this thought broke through the sky.
Chairman Arakawa was triumphant at the moment, and whispered a little mysteriously, "Isn't Oda Nobunaga known as the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven? There is news that this incident in Tokyo was created by him in order to resurrect him, and he wants to use it to return to the world from hell." And you, Master Peacock, are here to return to Koyasan and suppress the remains of Oda Nobunaga who were buried in Okunoin. ”
Speaking of which, President Arakawa deliberately squeezed his eyes at the peacock, as if he already knew it. (https:)
