Chapter 80: Taizong Dreams of the Golden Dragon
It is said that Wukong and Lingxue Fairy listened to the sermon of Su Bodhi Patriarch and practiced for many days in the three-star cave of the slanting moon in the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, but Wukong had a little worry in his heart, just because he had cultivated the body of the Great Luo San Immortal, he felt that there was something strange in his body, Wukong carefully checked, only to know that it was when he first learned the Tao, and the golden light left by Su Bodhi Patriarch in his body had some changes, Wukong wanted to check clearly, but the strange thing is that he could not find out the slightest clue with his current cultivation and use of supernatural powers, and Su Bodhi Patriarch did not know what to say, Wukong could only rely on himself。
One day, Su Bodhi Patriarch did not speak, Wukong also had nothing to do, so he pondered and sat down to have a good luck with the Yuan Shen to carefully understand, but unexpectedly, just woke up and walked out of the stone room to see Yin Fan Senior Brother greeted him, invited him to drink and reminisce, Wukong himself understands this Yin Fan Senior Brother, with his personality is also very similar to Wukong, the two are the same temper, so it is compatible, but Wukong has something, and Su Bodhi Patriarch has to teach him not to pass on others, he has to excuse him to say not to go, but this senior brother is extremely difficult, pull hard, Wukong has to go。 A few people were very drunk, and Senior Brother Zhiming came to teach them a lesson and went to see Patriarch Su Bodhi, but Wukong and the others ignored it and went back to each other.
This Zhiming personality is more arrogant, and the cultivation is also high, the most is not to see the same brother is messy and unruly, it is because he saw the Su Bodhi Patriarch in the three-star cave of the oblique moon and slightly mentioned Wukong and others, how could the Su Bodhi Patriarch not know, but he just smiled and said nothing, and Zhiming also returned to the cave. The next day, Su Bodhi Patriarch sat on the Yao Tai and preached, talking about the comprehension of Buddhism and Taoism, it was really a sky of flowers, the ground was surging with golden lotus, and the disciples under the seat were listening carefully, and Su Bodhi Patriarch suddenly called: "Wukong." Wukong hurriedly got up and said, "Master, what's the matter?"
"Wukong, I asked you for the teacher, there are a thousand ways, each one of them, and then there are words: 'The Tao is the way, the very way. He also said, "Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders." 'Why is this?' Patriarch Su Bodhi said lightly. Wukong thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master, the Tao is Tao, the Tao is very Tao." The Tao is the meaning of the cycle of life and breath, the Tao exists without substance, it is everywhere, tangible things are difficult to survive forever, it is all visible beings, it is to return to the formless, it is to be immortal if it is not born, it is the way to think that it is extraordinary. Yin and yang grow and fall, and eventually return to emptiness, and play yin and yang to give birth to all things, life and death coexist, and return to chaos, so the cycle, the mystery and the mystery, is the door of all wonders. ”
When Patriarch Su Bodhi heard Wukong's words, he was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that this Wukong could solve the mystery of the Tao Te Ching of the Tao Te Ching, and it was no wonder that the Taishang Laojun wanted to give the Tao Te Ching to this stone monkey. The disciples were all amazed when they heard this! This "Tao Te Ching" is very mysterious, even the great disciples of Patriarch Su Bodhi's attainment of Taoism, Guangshan Taoist, are difficult to understand thoroughly, but Wukong's comprehension is just right. Lingxue was next to Wukong, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but look up at Wukong, but she saw Wukong smiling, calm and natural.
Wukong was originally as Shakyamuni said, but one of the four great spirit monkeys of heaven and earth, Lingming stone monkey, and Nuwa Niangniang was born of the spar left by the heaven in the past. In addition, after receiving many instructions from Patriarch Su Bodhi, I understood it myself, and I understood it, and the "Tao Te Ching" was in Wukong's body, although Wukong didn't know, but he also had a little traction, so it was even more effective with half the effort.
Wukong said: "There are a thousand ways, and each one takes one." Master once said that cultivators have different understandings and different opportunities. Therefore, each has its own way, and each has its own difference, so there are thousands of paths to cultivate, but depending on their own creation, they will also choose one of them. When Patriarch Subodhi heard this, he opened his mouth and praised: "Very good! Very good!" and then said: "In this case, then let me ask you, Wukong, where is your own way?" Wukong was slightly stunned, and then his heart moved, and said: "My old grandson's Tao is at my feet!"
Zhiming saw Wukong like this, but shouted: "Wukong, how can you be so unreasonable to Master!" Patriarch Su Bodhi did not see any anger, but smiled a little, and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Then Zhengse said: "Wukong, since you understand the truth, I will ask you again as a teacher." Buddhists say, 'The Buddha is compassionate and has no one who cannot be saved. But he said, 'No clouds, no clouds.' "Wukong listened to the Patriarch Su Bodhi ask the Patriarch about the Dharma, he couldn't help but be stunned, he can't be thorough about the Dharma, he knows the Dharma, because he once escorted Tang Sanzang to the west, more or less he also knows, plus the Patriarch Su Bodhi preached although it is the Tao, but there are also some Buddhist scriptures, he also has a little understanding, and now asking, it makes Wukong a little at a loss.
Wukong pondered for a long time, and suddenly remembered what Tang Sanzang once said, the Buddha cut meat to feed the eagle, although I don't know if it is true, but it also made Wukong's eyes light up, so he replied: "The Buddha is a good deed, but it is not a person who cannot be controlled, and he must act according to his own heart, not strength." If there is a fate, it will be saved, if there is no fate, and those who do many evils should be killed, which is a great good deed. In the Buddhist scriptures, it was said that the Buddha had the act of cutting meat and feeding the eagle to save the evil eagle, but he wanted it to comprehend it on its own. ”
When Patriarch Subodhi heard this, he also smiled to himself, nodded, and said, "Well, not bad, not bad." Although there are slight deficiencies, this solution is also acceptable!" Suddenly, he said: "Although what you said is not wrong, you must remember that you know that this principle has its own fate, but the Buddha and the Tao are the same origin, you must remember it in your heart, do not forget, do not slack off." Wukong bowed down and said, "The disciple has written it down." Patriarch Su Bodhi got up, got off the yaotai, and said to the disciples: "Today's matter, and here, only Wukong stays, I have something to say, the rest of the people, go back to cultivate well, don't slack off." ”
Everyone didn't dare to disobey and dispersed, but only the Lingxue Fairy couldn't stay for a long time, and one of the female disciples saw this, and she didn't know why, so she pulled her and taught her to go with her. When Patriarch Su Bodhi saw it, he glanced at Lingxue lightly, and then said, "No need, Huixin, you just go by yourself, Lingxue, stay." The female disciple named Huixin immediately answered, and Wu Zi retreated without mentioning it.
Patriarch Subodhi then said to the two of them, "You two come with me." Wukong and Lingxue both didn't understand the meaning of Patriarch Subodhi, but they didn't dare to disobey, and then went straight to the Concentration Palace.
The words are divided into two ends, not to mention that the patriarch of Su Bodhi taught Wukong and Lingxue to go to the temple together, so what happened, but said that in the Tang Dynasty of the immortal world, since Tang Sanzang and a few people left, Tang King Li Shimin ordered people to include all those scriptures in the palace, and ordered several monks to enter the palace to read the scriptures for him and explain the doctrine.
This Li Shimin originally did not revere Buddhism, but in the past, the Tang Sanzang dream met Guanyin Bodhisattva guidance, and got the brocade robe and nine-ring tin staff, Li Shimin was extremely convinced of Buddhism and Buddhism, thinking that Buddha is the right fruit, and built a Buddhist temple in Chang'an City, offering incense, and he was obsessed with Buddhism.
But those eminent monks who were invited into the palace were slightly stunned when they saw the scriptures in those scriptures, and these scriptures were just some Mahayana Buddhism, but they were only a little more advanced than the Hinayana Buddhism they were reciting, and even a little shallow in some places, at best, between Hinayana Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism. How did they know that these scriptures had already been replaced by Wukong with a Li Dai Tao stiff plan.
As the so-called companion is like a tiger, although they have doubts in their hearts, they dare not say it clearly in front of Li Shimin, so they can only follow the will.
But he said that one evening, Li Shimin finished approving the recital, and he was already physically and mentally exhausted and drowsy, so he taught the eunuch Gong'e who was standing on the side to collect the recital one by one, and he turned back** Among them, light sandalwood and sleep peacefully, who knew that soon after falling into a dream, I saw a sudden vision in the dream, and I saw that above the Jinluan hall, all the courtiers knelt on the ground and worshipped upwards, but in front of the courtiers was not a dragon chair, but a lotus platform, the lotus platform was several feet high, Li Shimin raised his eyes and looked, it was not himself sitting on it, but a Buddha with a solemn appearance.
After a while, the courtiers bowed their heads and said, "Disciples, wait to see my Buddha!" The Buddha folded his hands together and asked, "Are you willing to take refuge?" Everyone bowed again and said, "The disciples are willing to take refuge when they hear the Dharma!" The Buddha said, "Good!
Li Shimin's heart was on fire when he saw this, Samadhi burned his throat, he was furious, pointed directly at the Buddha, and shouted: "You Buddha deceived me too much!" When the Buddha heard this, he said: "Li Shimin, when you hear the Dharma, are you willing to take refuge?" Li Shimin sneered: "You Buddha, you have to take refuge in such a way, it's ridiculous!" When the Buddha heard this, he laughed and said: "Hahaha! Like ants, he dares to do this, good! good!"
After that, he poked out a big hand and grabbed Li Shimin, Li Shimin was suddenly shocked, and he wanted to avoid it, but he saw a golden five-clawed golden dragon rising into the sky, and the big hand collided together, and exploded with a bang, and the Jinluan Palace, the Buddha, and the ministers all disappeared, and there was a fog all around.
Li Shimin was shocked, and saw a light flying again, which scared Li Shimin out of a cold sweat, and the light fell to the front, but he was surrounded by smoke and couldn't see his face clearly, he could only see this person wearing a white robe, and a yin and yang gossip on it was faintly visible, but there was a five-clawed golden dragon coiled on his head, and the sound of the dragon's chant was bursting.
Li Shimin immediately understood that it was this Taoist who saved his life just now, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I will see the Taoist chief in the next Li Shimin! Thank you for the Taoist chief's life-saving grace, dare to ask the Taoist chief, how do you call the Taoist chief?" Li Shimin asked: "Dare to ask the Taoist, what is going on with Fang Cai? How can there be a Buddha?" Taoist said: "Your Majesty, the matter of Fang Cai is not out of nowhere, after Your Majesty goes back, you and I will have the opportunity to meet each other, and Your Majesty will know it at that time." With that, with a move of the handle, the golden dragon on his head fell and hovered above the Taoist's palm.
Li Shimin said strangely: "Dao Chief, this golden dragon is ......" The Taoist smiled and said: "This golden dragon was originally His Majesty's thing, and it was about to be returned to His Majesty, and the thing was returned to its original owner!" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, when he saw the Taoist point his hand, and the golden dragon suddenly rose into the air and drilled into Li Shimin's heavenly spirit cover! Li Shimin's eyes were dark, and when he woke up again, he was still on the dragon bed.
