It is said that Guanyin followed the decree of Sakyamuni to go to the southern Zhanbu Continent of the Tang Dynasty to transform the reincarnation of the golden cicada, and went west to take the Mahayana Sanzang Sutra, and spread Buddhism into the Eastern Tang Dynasty. Guanyin arrived at the Five Elements Mountain, saw Wukong, bound Wukong with the vajra circle given by Narulai, and included it in the Buddhist gate, waiting for the arrival of the person who learned the scriptures, so as to protect him to go to the west and complete the westward journey. Then he drove the clouds to Chang'an, Datang.

Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, this Li Shimin before ascending the throne as the emperor, was to kill his brother and slaughter his brother by strong means, before he won the throne, but he himself is also a person with great talent, the people under his rule, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, the road is not left behind, the night is not closed, the national strength is also increasing, once the strength is strong, the greed will also swell, it is Li Shimin who began to fight in the ten directions, and the surrounding small countries have surrendered, the so-called success will be a thousand bones, every emperor has to step on the white bones of countless people, in order to finally sit on the world, naturally the white bones are piled up。

Therefore, Li Shimin was killed too much, and as soon as he closed his eyes all day, it was like being in the Nine Secluded Underground Mansions, and a hundred ghosts came to ask him for his life, Li Shimin was only a mortal after all, so he was naturally very frightened and restless. He burned incense to worship the Buddha, and asked the Taoist priest to draw talismans to exorcise ghosts, but it was useless. Suddenly, I heard a Wenchen say that Master Xuanzang of Jinshan Temple has profound Buddhism, and asked him to ask the Master to do a Dharma meeting to surpass the soul of the dead in order to maintain peace. Maybe it was because he was sick and rushed to the doctor, and Li Shimin was also a person who believed in Buddhism, so he sent someone to the Jinshan Temple to invite Master Xuanzang, and set up an altar to teach Xuanzang to go to the altar and recite the longitude to transform the soul.

But it is said that when Guanyin Bodhisattva and Muzha Xing drove the clouds to Chang'an City, they saw that the people in the city, regardless of men, women and children, all went to a Dharma altar in the city, and talked about something while walking. The two of them then took on the form of two monks, wearing robes and holding prayer beads. He performed the retreat technique and entered the crowd, and before the crowd reached the altar, he could hear the sound of chanting.

Before arriving at the altar, I saw hundreds of monks in front of the altar, all wearing red robes, holding sandalwood prayer beads, slowly moving one by one, their eyes slightly closed, and chanting Buddhist scriptures softly in their mouths. The sound of chanting is lingering. Guanyin looked up at the altar and saw that Master Xuanzang was wearing a monk's hat and a red cloth and gold silk monk's robe, and he was reciting Hinayana Buddhism like other monks, but it was more profound. Guanyin frowned slightly, looked at the Dharma and saw that Master Xuanzang had a faint layer of Buddha light on his body, and secretly said in his heart: "Reincarnation in ten lifetimes does not disperse the original element, not bad, not bad, Amitabha!" After listening for a while, he turned around and left with Muzha Walker.

This festival was not completed until the evening, Li Shimin then took the altar, and invited Master Xuanzang to use the food, and Xuanzang was invited to rest in the side hall. Xuanzang didn't dare to disobey the order, so he entered the side hall, lit incense, went to bed, and fell asleep after a while.

After a while, Xuanzang's dream was a different scene. I saw Xuanzang's whole person floating in the air, even the hands on both sides of the vertical square did not droop, his eyes were closed, as if he had lost consciousness, but there seemed to be a force in the darkness that pushed him, making him go in a certain direction. But after a cup of tea, Xuanzang's body slowly fell to the soft grass. A gentle breeze blows, carrying the fragrance of flowers and plants.

Xuanzang slowly opened his eyes, the vision gradually became clear, the blue sky was full of white clouds, a cricket jumped into the distance from the grass, the white crane and the yellow bird spread their wings and soared in the air, everything clearly told Xuanzang that this was not in the palace. Xuanzang couldn't help but be frightened, got up from the ground, and looked around in horror. But seeing here, the cranes are crying, the flowers and herbs are fragrant, and the green bamboos are lined up, which is really a fairy wonder!

Seeing such a fairyland, the apprehension in Xuanzang's heart also stabilized a little, and he took a step forward and walked slowly. Entering the bamboo forest, the sunlight shines through the dense bamboo leaves overhead, falling to the ground in pieces, turning into speckled spots of fish scales. Xuanzang held a handful of green bamboo beside him with his hand, the branches and leaves shook, and a bamboo leaf fell into Xuanzang's hand.

Xuanzang put the bamboo leaf in front of his eyes to take a closer look, the leaf surface is green, like jasper, the veins are clearly visible, a dark purple vein, this bamboo leaf is divided into two halves from the middle, Xuanzang saw it, his brows stretched out all of a sudden, and he said with great joy: "Ah! I once saw a legend in a Buddhist scripture, saying that there is a bamboo forest in front of Luojia Mountain in Putuoyan Nanhai, the dojo of Guanzi Bodhisattva, and its name is: purple bamboo. The midrib of its bamboo leaves is dark purple. Now the bamboo leaves in the forest are just like those contained in the Buddhist scriptures, is it ......?"

Xuanzang walked quickly towards the depths of the bamboo forest, he wanted to see if the Guanzi Bodhisattva who was so merciful and compassionate, saving the suffering and saving the suffering, was really in this purple bamboo forest, as the so-called: "When you hear the Tao, you can die at night." "If Guanzi Bodhisattva can smell the Dharma in this purple bamboo forest, then it will be a great opportunity for him, a great creation, you must know how many monks, who have devoted their lives to cultivating Buddha and have not been able to see those almost ethereal immortal Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

When he didn't walk for a while, Xuanzang saw that there were two people standing in an open place in front of him, Xuanzang hurriedly took two steps forward, and saw that the two people were two monks, one with an old face, holding a nine-ring tin cane, and the other was middle-aged, holding a robe in both hands. These two people are none other than Guanyin Bodhisattva and Muzha Walker. Listening to Guanyin ask, "Why did the elder come here?" Xuanzang said: "Oh, I fell asleep last night, and when I opened my eyes again, I was already outside the bamboo forest, and I saw that it was very similar to the place of Guanyin Bodhisattva contained in the Buddhist scriptures. Dare to ask why the two masters are here?"

Guanyin didn't answer, but raised his eyes and glanced at Xuanzang lightly, and said: "The old man listened to the Buddhist scriptures under the altar yesterday is quite exquisite, and the master must be very proficient in the Dharma. ”

Guanyin said: "Dare to ask the elder, what is bliss?" Xuanzang seemed to have something flashing in his mind, and he ignored it, and replied: "Seeing the self clearly and having an epiphany of the void is bliss." Guanyin asked rhetorically: "In the Buddhist scriptures, the Buddha Shakyamuni once said: 'See through the red dust, Nirvana is the right fruit, and enjoy the bliss' Since the elder knows the Buddhist scriptures, how can he say such words?" Xuanzang smiled and said: "If it is as the Buddha said, then seeing through the red dust is to let go of the seven emotions and six desires in the heart, no desire and no desire, and the positive fruit of Nirvana is no joy and no sorrow, and the four are empty, then, if you lose these things, what is left of people? So even if you become a Buddha, what is the meaning?" Guanyin was silent after hearing this, but he was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "This golden cicada was reincarnated in the tenth life, but he is still so obsessed, I hope that a trip to the west can make you have an epiphany." ”

Guanyin nodded, smiled, and asked, "Elder, how can we see the self clearly and realize the void?" Xuanzang smiled and said: "Break the stubbornness!" Guanyin nodded, folded his hands, and said with a smile: "Amitabha! The Muzha walker also turned into his true form, but he was a young man with red lips and white teeth.

Seeing this, Xuanzang hurriedly bowed down, and said in a little panic: "Amitabha! Disciple Xuanzang visited Guanzi Bodhisattva, and the disciple had no intention of colliding and begged the Bodhisattva for forgiveness!" Guanyin said indifferently: "It's okay." Xuanzang, let me ask you, can the Hinayana Buddhism you learn help the world get rid of the sea of suffering and achieve bliss?" Xuanzang said: "If you want to use the Hinayana Buddhism to help the world get rid of the sea of suffering and achieve bliss, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Guanyin nodded and said: "In the western spiritual mountain, where my Buddha came, there is the Mahayana Sanzang Sutra, if you get it, you can make the evil ghosts get rid of the robbery, it is difficult for people to get rid of suffering, and the world can be exhausted, but you need to go through hardships to obtain, you are a person who is destined, are you willing to go?" Xuanzang said without thinking: "If there is a loss, there must be gain, if this is the case, even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, the disciples will not hesitate, and they should go!" Guanyin clasped his hands together and said: "Good! Xuanzang, you come forward." ”

Xuanzang didn't dare to disobey the order, so he stepped forward and knelt down. Guanyin pointed at Xuanzang's eyebrows, and printed the tight spell into Xuanzang's sea of knowledge, Xuanzang closed his eyes for a moment, already understood, opened his eyes, Guanyin said: "This is a tight mantra, on your way west, you will meet a monkey who was suppressed by the Five Elements Mountain, you need to accept him as a disciple, to protect you all the way to the west, but he is stubborn by nature, if he does not listen to the teachings, you will recite this mantra, he will naturally surrender." Xuanzang said: "The disciple understands. ”

Guanyin waved his hand again, and gave the nine-ring tin staff and brocade robe to Xuanzang, and said: "This is my Buddha such as to give me, one is a brocade robe, one is a nine-ring tin staff, you have a fate with these two treasures, it will be given to you, and you can also protect you well, but the road to the west is extremely dangerous, although you have a sincere heart to seek Buddha, but what the result is, it still depends on your creation." Amitabha! "Xuanzang knelt down and kowtowed: "Xie Bodhisattva is enlightened!" Guanyin said: "Wonderful! Xuanzang, go back." With that, he closed his eyes and meditated as he could.

Xuanzang had to turn around and leave, just took a few steps, but suddenly felt empty under his feet, and fell, as if he had fallen into a bottomless pit, no matter what, he gradually fainted.
