Chapter 18: The Troubles of Enlightenment

After Master Yinguang led the chanting for an hour, the chanting was suspended, and the first Hongdao of the Genyedo Hall took the stage to preach the "Myoho-renge-kyo".

"Myoho-renge-kyo" is the Buddha's teachings, clearly indicating that everyone can become a Buddha regardless of wealth, wealth and poverty, everyone can become a Buddha, the so-called Buddhahood "Lotus", wealth "Huayan", Kaihui "Lengyan", is one of the three major sutras of Buddhism. Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, Zhao Ran rarely had this opportunity, so he also took advantage of the situation to sit aside and listen to the scriptures.

“...... All good men, such as the past immeasurable boundless and inconceivable. There is a Buddha from time to time, and the sun and moon are bright...... There is a sergeant who gives a speech on the Dharma: the first good, the middle good, and the latter good, its meaning is far-reaching, its language is ingenious, pure and mixed, and it has the appearance of pure and good deeds. For those who seek the sound of the people, it is said that the Four Noble Truths should be used to live, grow old, sickness and die......"

"Believers, when we practice the Dharma, we should be like Master Xuanci, we should give food to the hungry, we should give medicine and care to the sick, and we should go to the unwise and stupid people and places to preach the Dharma. Bringing blessings to the masses and freeing people who are drowning in the sea of suffering from birth and death is the bodhisattva mind of compassion and joy that is necessary to become a Buddha......"

When preaching the scriptures, he found the seal and said: "Master, when I was exploring the holy relics of the mandala, I saw the appearance of Master Padmasambhava in the holy relics, and I had the wish of wisdom, compassion, and subduing evil into one, and I had the wish of supreme merit. After the Great Fa, he also asked the master to come forward to persuade Zen Master Xuyongming, so that Yan Futi Temple agreed to exchange the Xuanyuan Ten Sons Diagram for ......"

Yin Guang shook his head slightly, and said, "Where can I wait for the Great Fa after the Great Fa?"

"What does the master mean?"

"When you explore the mandala, I see that the living Buddha of Sangcuo has moved......

Liyuan immediately glanced at the living Buddha of Sangcuo with his spare eyes, and saw that this living Buddha was looking at Zhao Ran, who was sitting and listening to the scriptures, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Master Padmasambhava is the founder of Tibetan Buddhism, strictly speaking, the Tibetan Buddha Gate is more qualified to collect this mandala, really to make the Sangcuo Living Buddha wake up and compete with the Xixia Buddha for this treasure, Tianlong Yuan is really a little reasonable.

When he was frightened, he heard Yin Guang say: "Don't panic, I have already informed Senior Brother Xu Yongming, and he agreed." You will go to the messenger tonight and exchange with him for the rest. ”

After getting the clear indication of Yinguang, he was relieved, and hurriedly went to summon Wenda, a disciple of the main hall: "You should quickly go back and organize people to pick it up, and see what Buddha treasures in my Bodhi Hall can be accepted by Yanfuti Temple." ”

Wen Daxi said: "Yan Futi Temple agreed to exchange?"

Liyuan frowned and said with a smile: "Yes, let's go now, hurry up, hurry, I'm afraid of something will happen later." ”

Wen Da hurriedly turned around and walked out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall and rushed to the Bodhi Hall in the northeast corner of Tianlong Temple.

Tianlong Courtyard is very large, Wenda passed through the courtyard of many heavy courtyards before returning to the Bodhi Hall, pushed open the monk's room, and saw that there was only one deacon monk sitting in front of the bookcase in the huge room, so he beckoned: "Senior Brother Yangfan, why are you the only one here?"

Monk Yangfan raised his head from the stack of books on the case, rubbed his face with both hands, and said with a smile: "I am reading the Daomen's "True Immortal Body Dao Tongjian" of the past generations, and I am fascinated, hehe...... Didn't everyone else go to the Mahavira Hall to participate in the Nirvana Festival?"

Wenda hurriedly walked to the bookcase, ran his fingers across the rows of books in the cabinet, then pulled out a book, and asked casually while reading, "Why don't you go?"

Yang Fan said: "It's still interesting to read books, and the Daomen Tongjian is very impressive...... By the way, why did Senior Brother come back?"

Wen Da said: "You also help, let's quickly inquire about the relics of Yanfuti Temple in the past dynasties, and see which ones are in the Bodhi Hall." ”

"Why?

"I want to exchange the Daomen "Xuanyuan Ten Sons" with them. ”

""Xuanyuan Ten Sons"? great, junior brother, I have always wanted to watch but can't get it, and now I have a chance!"

So, the two Bodhi monks began to look up in the books.

On the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Yuan called Mingjue again: "You lead the way tonight and accompany me to the official post to meet with the Ming envoy, the matter of "Xuanyuan Ten Sons", Zen Master Xuyongming has agreed. ”

Mingjue high-fived and praised: "This is just right!" After thinking about it, he suggested again: "In my opinion, it's better not to come forward for the first seat." ”

"Oh, why is that?"

"In my opinion, Zhao Daochang is a very powerful character, to be honest, I have dealt with Zhao Daochang these days, and I am really a little scared......" So he expressed his perception of Zhao Ran one by one, and then said: "If the first seat comes forward, Zhao Daochang will know the preciousness of this thing, and I am afraid it will not be a problem with a "Xuanyuan Ten Sons......"

Yuan lost a smile and said: "Then you rush over every day." ”

Mingjue scratched his head: "This is a famous mountain guest, the little monk has this opportunity to discuss the way of calligraphy and painting with the mountain guest, this is a great blessing." Moreover, when he doesn't talk about the pros and cons, he gets along with Zhao Daochang like a spring breeze, and between his words, he is always thought-provoking, which makes the little monk more harmonious and extremely compatible......"

He didn't care about whether he and Zhao Ran got along "well", he only cared about how to get back the Nine Hearts Dharma Transmission Mandala as soon as possible, so he said, "Then what do you say?"

What should be done, Mingjue didn't know, he only knew that if he accompanied Yuan to find the door on the spot, he would definitely be cheated by Zhao Daochang.

Speaking of Zhao Ran, Mingjue is "love and hate", when he doesn't talk about business, he can't wait to mix with the other party from morning to night, write, talk about Buddhism, and talk about Mingxia, but when it comes to business, the other party is not the mountain guest......

When he was thinking hard, he saw his best friend in the Golden Needle Hall, Monk Xingzhen, coming up from behind, and said to the fate: "First seat, Master Shenxiu asked if you have time, now there is an urgent matter to discuss, I want you to move over, it is in the back hall of my Golden Needle Hall." ”

Shenxiu is the first seat of the Golden Needle Hall, and his status in the Tianlong Temple is on par with the fate, but because he is young, he is only in his seventies, and he has only been in charge of the Golden Needle Hall for more than ten years, so his qualifications are far less profound, and although he is in charge of the Golden Needle Hall, which is more important, his tone is very respectful when he asks for it.

Yuan asked, "What is it?"

Sexual truth: "The Buddhist envoy of the good Qi country has come to see if there are any scriptures or Dharma instruments in the Bodhi Hall that are related to this. ”

Then he asked, "Who is there?"

Xingzhen replied, "Master Shenxiu and the elders of the Golden Needle Hall. ”

Yuan nodded, turned around and left the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and headed towards the Golden Needle Hall. After he left, Xing Zhenxiao asked Mingjue: "Senior brother was ordered to contact this Zhao Daochang, how are you doing these days?

Mingjue said: "Thank you Senior Brother for reminding me that day, so that Senior Brother I can see the real person." I got a piece of writing, and I appreciated it with my brother. ”
