Chapter 16: The Endless
More than 1,000 years ago, King Trisong Dezhen of Tibet invited Tianzhu Guru Padmasambhava to preach the Dharma in Tibet, so that Buddhism could spread in Tibet, which was a landmark event of Buddhism. Later, King Trisong Dechen asked Guru for empowerment and teachings, and legend has it that at Qingpu, the retreat above Samye Monastery, Guru Rinpoche opened the mandala of the Eight Great Black Luga Rituals to teach the Dharma to the nine devotees, including the King of Tibet.
The Eight Great Black Lugga Rituals are the Eight Great Good Death Dharma Rituals, which contemplate and meditate on the eight wrathful deities in a similar way, and the heart is the disciple of the heart. In the sadhana, each of the nine minds is granted a different lineage, and each of them is practiced in accordance with the law and attained attainment.
The nine-hearted Dharma transmission mandala mentioned by Monk Wenda is the mandala used by Guru Padmasambhava in this Dharma transmission ritual. This incident is recorded in the biography of Guru Padmasambhava and many Buddhist texts, but this mandala has never been traced, which is a mystery of Buddhism, and many Buddhist monks believe that this is a legend, not a real thing.
If what Wenda said is true, then the significance of this mandala is definitely no less than that of Xuan Ci's golden bowl of preaching, and even more important! This is not a question of the power of the Dharma in the mandala itself, but a major discovery and compensation for the inheritance and recording of the Dharma, especially for Tibet, this mandala is comparable to a holy relic!
The three great monks of the Bodhisattva Realm asked at the same time, "Can you be sure?"
Wen Da hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "I don't dare to say 100 percent, but the Eight Achievements are the Nine Hearts Sect Transmission Mandala." ”
The edge is the first seat of the Bodhi Hall, and he knows more about the situation of the deacons and monks in the hall, and knows that although Wenda's cultivation level is not high, his vision has always been sharp, and he is extremely familiar with the history of Buddhism.
The more great the monk, the more important he was to this kind of object related to inheritance and preaching, and he couldn't sit still, so he immediately got up and said, "Let's go, go to the official post again!" He wanted to go over and inspect it himself.
Hongdao and Xuansheng also got up at the same time, wanting to go over with the fate, but Mingjue said, "The three masters wait a minute." ”
Hongdao and the other monks stopped, looked at Mingjue, and Mingjue hurriedly said: "It's easy for us to exchange Master Xuanci's Taoist golden bowl in our hands, and now there is a nine-hearted Dharma mandala, but I don't know what to exchange?"
The three Bodhisattva Realm Great Cultivators calmed down, looked at each other, and slowly sat down again, Mingjue continued: "Senior Brother Wenda saw the clue of this thing just now, but I thought that Daoist Zhao still didn't understand, no wonder, if it weren't for Senior Brother Wenda's deacon Bodhi Hall for many years, where would ordinary people see it, at least I can't see it." Therefore, the little monk thought that this matter should be considered in the long run, and before a conclusion was made, it was better not to let Zhao Daochang know too much...... Even so, I'm afraid that he was 'alarmed' just now. ”
Yuan praised: "Mingjue said it well, and he did it very well. If you really want to reveal the details, I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome. ”
Mingjue hurriedly said: "It's also that the little monk has been dealing with this Daoist Zhao for a long time, and he knows a little bit about his character." If Daoist Zhao knew the preciousness of this thing, I am afraid that it would give me a big problem in Tianlong Academy. ”
Wenda was immediately annoyed: "It's all the blame on the little monk...... Fortunately, Senior Brother Mingjue stopped him, and the little monk almost said it at that time. ”
Hongdao was a little excited, and said: "This mandala must stay, this is my Buddhist holy relic, and it is extremely important to promote the Dharma in Tianlong Temple! Senior brother, do you have any good objects in the Bodhi Hall, let's plan it properly. ”
Liao Yuan shook his head and sighed: "In order to exchange for the rainbow body, I have taken out many objects such as Danding, Baoyin, etc., and when I saw the golden bowl, I gave out the "Wuji Diagram", ......and "Wuji Diagram" was just taken out...... I don't know how many treasures of my Buddha are hidden in his body......
Mingjue pondered: "The little monk went to Wudang Mountain this time, and watched the Daomen Zhang Dazhen's ascension ceremony, and Zhao Daochang was the head of the ceremony, so he must have a lot of relationship with Zhang Dazhen. The cave of the Shujing Temple was discovered by Zhang Dazhen, and he must have obtained a lot of Buddha treasures from it, and it is reasonable to give it to Zhao Daochang. ”
As soon as this explanation was given, everyone understood, and Yuan sighed: "When the Red Plains Land was my possession, why didn't I discover this cave?"
All the monks were silent, and after a while, Hongdao relieved and said: "Fortunately, we have added a condition, we can send people to the Shujing Temple to worship, and we must carefully see if there is anything missing." ”
Mingjue said again: "Now it seems that what Zhao Daochang asked for is also a "Xuanyuan Ten Sons", if there is this picture, it must be a little sure to return to the mandala." But you also have to think carefully about the way to exchange, at least you can't let him know the importance of the mandala, otherwise Zhao Daochang is afraid that he will have to 'pull a list' for the little monk......"
So the monks thought hard about the solution, discussed and discussed, and came to the conclusion that they could only exchange things, and tomorrow they would first shoot by fate, and see the truth of the Nine Hearts Sect Mandala, and then consider the objects and methods of exchange.
In the end, Liao Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "If this envoy wants to take out any other holy relics, I'm afraid I can only break the rules and prevent him from going back." ”
Early in the morning of August 16, Zhao Ran dressed neatly, joined Zhang Juzheng, who also had official uniforms and dignity, and marched towards Tianlong Courtyard under the escort of eighteen monks of Tianlong Academy, the Imperial City Division, and hundreds of soldiers of the Yiwei Division.
Starting from the official post, along the north shore of Jinbo Lake, passing through Chongyi Fang, passing through Jietai Temple, East Thirteen Chambers, North Wazi, and arriving at Tianlong Temple.
Along the way, all the streets and markets are full of believers kneeling on both sides of the road, burning incense and praying, and the incense is like a cloud.
When I arrived at the Tianlong Courtyard, there were already a lot of people here, but fortunately, the Imperial City Division had already cleared the road, and the team of people surrounded Zhao Ran and Zhang Juzheng and entered the Tianlong Courtyard.
In front of him was Mingjue leading the way, and the eighteen monks around him followed closely, turning a few corners along the pavilion corridor and entering a golden hall.
In the middle are three huge Buddha statues about three zhang high, shining with golden light, flowing and shining together, each wearing a red silk robe, it is the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Tianlong Temple.
In the center is the Shakyamuni Buddha of the central world of Suva, on the left is the Medicine Buddha of the Eastern Glass World, and on the right is the Amitabha Buddha of the Western Elysium. On both sides of these three Buddhas, there are two attendants.
Shakyamuni Buddha was accompanied by Manjushri and Puxian Bodhisattva, Medicine Buddha was accompanied by Sun Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva, and Amitabha Buddha was accompanied by Guanyin Bodhisattva and Dashi Zhi Bodhisattva.
In addition, the main hall is surrounded by 18 Arhat statues, and various Buddhist scripture stories depicted on murals and carved beams are brought to life.
Hundreds of senior monks stood in the hall, their eyes swept towards Zhao Ran, and more than ten ministers attached to him, among which there were the privy deputy envoy Yeli Wangrong, the imperial history of Cheng Fei Tingqingxia, and the Kaifeng Mansion of Xingqing Mansion Yin Gao Huaien and others.
