Chapter 128: The construction of Xiangguo Temple
ยท
Press the golden cicada and don't mention it.
But he said that Wei Chi Gong would go to Kaifeng Mansion in Henan Province to visit Xiangliang.
Sagara originally sold water for a living, and his wife Zhang sold black pot pottery at the head of the door to make a living, but he made some money, and only took the coiling as his foot, and how many monks gave alms, bought gold and silver paper ingots, and burned the library, so there was this good fruit.
In the yang world, he is a kind poor man, but in that world, he is an elder who accumulates jade and piles of gold.
Duke Yu Chi sent gold and silver to his door, bluffing the soul of the prince and the mother-in-law, and there were also officials of the government, and the carriages and horses outside the hut were gathered, and the old couple were dumb and dumb, kneeling on the ground, just kowtowing and praying.
Wei Chi said fairly: "Old man, please get up." Though I am a messenger, I have brought back my king's silver and gold to you. โ
Sagara replied tremblingly: "The little one has no gold and silver money, how can he dare to accept this unknown wealth?"
Wei Chi said fairly: "I also visited you as a poor man, but you fasted the monks and gave alms, and did your best, so you comprador gold and silver paper ingots, burned the Yin Si, and there was money you accumulated in the Yin Si." It was my Emperor Taizong who died three days ago, and his soul was resurrected, and he borrowed a treasury of gold and silver from you in that Yin Si, and now I will return it to you according to the number. You can take them all and wait for me to reply. โ
The two of them just bowed to the sky, and they dared to accept it, saying, "If the little one receives this gold and silver, he will die quickly." Although it is a paper burning library, this is a secret thing, and what evidence do I have for borrowing gold and silver in my grandfather's life? โ
Wei Chi said fairly: "Your Majesty said, borrow your things, there is Judge Cui as a guarantee, you accept it." โ
Sagara said: "I don't dare to die." โ
Wei Chigong saw that he was struggling to resign, so he had to have his own errand
When Tang Taizong saw this, he knew that Xiangliang was not subject to gold and silver, and said: "This sincerity is a kind elder!"
That is, the decree was passed on to teach Hu Jingde to repair the temple with gold and silver, build a shrine, and ask the monk to do good, so he should return him. The will is said, respect for virtue and thanksgiving, and the decree is known to all. Then the gold and silver were bought to a section of the foundation of the army and the people in the city, there were 50 acres of width around, and the construction was carried out on it, and the temple was built, and the name was "Xiangguo Temple". There is the ancestral hall of the prime minister and the mother-in-law on the left, the stele is engraved with stone, and it is written that "the prince of Yu Chi supervises the making", that is, the great Xiangguo Temple is also.
After the work was completed, Tang Taizong was very happy.
But he gathered many officials, recruited monks, built water and land conferences, and surpassed the lonely soul of the underworld.
The list is all over the world, and officials from all over the country elect high-ranking monks who have the right way to go to Chang'an to make a meeting.
In that period of the elimination of the month, there are many monks in the world.
Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty passed on the decree that Taishi Cheng Fu Yi elected high monks and built Buddhism.
Fu Yi heard the decree, that is, on the dredging of the floating map, in order to say that there is no Buddha. The table said: "The law of the Western Regions, there are no kings, ministers, fathers and sons, with three ways and six ways, to be lured to stupidity, to chase past sins, to see the blessings of the future, and to recite Sanskrit words in order to escape it." And life and death, life and death, this is nature; Today, I heard that the laymen were pretentious, and they were all clouds by the Buddha. Since the five emperors and three kings, there has been no Buddhism, the monarch is loyal and loyal, and the years are long. To the Han Ming Emperor set up the god Hu, but only the Sangmen of the Western Regions, self-preaching its teachings, is really a crime against China, it is not enough to believe. โ
When Tang Taizong heard this, he threw this watch to the ministers for discussion.
From time to time, Prime Minister Xiao Yu went out of class and said: "Buddhism has risen from many dynasties, promoting good and curbing evil, helping the country, and there is no abandonment." Buddha, saint also. Those who are not saints cannot, please be punished severely. โ
Fu Yi and Xiao Yu argued, words and etiquette are based on the affairs of the family, and the Buddha betrayed his relatives and became monks, resisted the Son of Heaven with his husband, and rebelled against his relatives with his successor, Xiao Yu was not born in Kongsang, but followed the teachings of fatherlessness, as the so-called non-filial piety has no relatives.
Xiao Yudan clasped his palms together and said: "The design of hell is just for people." โ
Tang Taizong summoned Zhang Daoyuan, the servant, and Zhang Shiheng, the secretary of the Zhongshu, to ask what the blessing of Buddhism should be.
The second minister said: "The Buddha is pure and benevolent, and the Buddha is empty." Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty divided it into three religions: the Great Hui Zen Master has praise and far-reaching, and the people have been offering and all of them are obvious; the five ancestors are reincarnated, and the Dharma phenomenon is phenomena. Since ancient times, the three religions of the clouds are supreme and cannot be destroyed or abolished. His Majesty Fu begged for a holy judgment. โ
Tang Taizong was very happy and said: "Qing's words are reasonable. Whoever has something to show is guilty. โ
Then Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, and Zhang Daoyuan invited the Buddhas to elect a person with great virtue as the altar master, and set up a dojo, and everyone thanked them and retreated.
Tang Taizong's actions curbed the way and promoted the Buddha, causing some people to be dissatisfied, and slandering monks and slandering the Buddha often occurred.
Wei Zheng, Zhang Daoyuan and others reported the matter to Tang Taizong, and Tang Taizong said angrily: "If there are those who slander monks and slander Buddha, they will be punished." "At this time, the law was issued: but those who slandered the monks and slandered the Buddha will have their arms cut off.
The next time, the three courtiers, gathered the monks, in the mountain and river altar, one by one from the beginning, selected a virtuous monk.
Who are you talking about? Lingtong is called the golden cicada, just because he has no intention of listening to the Buddha's teachings, and he is entrusted to the mortal world to suffer and suffer, and he is born into the world and is caught in the net. Reincarnation is a murderous landing, and before it comes out, it will be a bad party. His father is Haizhou Chen Zhuangyuan, and his grandfather is the head of the court. Born to fall into the river star, follow the waves with the waves. The island Jinshan has a great fate, and the monk of Qian'an raised him. At the age of eighteen, he recognized his mother and went to Kyoto to ask for foreign minister. The general manager opened the mountain to transfer the army, and Hongzhou suppressed the murderous party. The champion Guangrui took off the sky, and the son and father met to congratulate the award. Replying to the grace of the Lord today, Lingyan Pavilion is famous. The benevolent official is not willing to be a monk, and the Hongfusha will visit. The small character Jiangliu Ancient Buddha, the legal name is Chen Xuanzang. When he said that Master Xuanzang was raised to the public.
Everyone in the world knows Xuanzang's life experience, all of which were written by the monk Faming of Jinshan Temple, and everyone didn't know what was going on, so they had to let it go, and what the court said was what it was.
Xuanzang has been a monk since he was a child, and when he was born in his mother's womb, he fasted and took precepts. His grandfather saw that Yin Kaishan, the head of the current dynasty, and his father Chen Guangrui, the champion of the middle, and the official worshiped the scholar of Wenyuan Palace. I don't love glory, I just like to practice silence. found out that his roots were good, and he chose a senior monk Chen Xuanzang. โ
When Tang Taizong heard his name, he pondered for a long time and said, "But is Xuanzang, the son of bachelor Chen Guangrui?"
Jiang Liuer kowtowed and said, "The minister is exactly." โ
Tang Taizong said happily: "Sure enough, it's a good move, and he is a monk with a virtuous and Zen heart." I give you the position of the left monk, the right monk, and the great exposition of the world. โ
Xuanzang immediately thanked him and received the title of official of Great Interpretation. and a multicolored woven gold robe, and a hat of Piru. Teach him to worship the monk again with his heart, rank the head of the Jali class, write the will, go to the Huasheng Temple, choose the auspicious time, and start the scriptures.
Xuanzang bowed to the decree again, and then went to the Huasheng Temple, gathered many monks, built a meditation couch, decorated merits, and sorted out music. A total of 1,200 monks of all sizes were selected and assigned to three halls. In front of all the Buddhas, all the things are all together, and there is a time for the head. On the third day of September this year, the zodiac is good, and the 7749 water and land conference will be opened.
That is, with the expression of the performance, Tang Taizong and the relatives of the civil and military kingdom all went to the meeting and listened to the lecture.
At the same time, the golden cicada was seriously injured and rushed to the Jinshan Temple.
Guanyin Bodhisattva noticed that the monks gathered in Chang'an City, I don't know why, my heart was in turmoil, originally the Tang Dynasty advocated Buddhism is an excellent thing, but I don't know why, he always felt that something was wrong.
