Because of the lecture hall of the Dharma world, it is good to know each other when they meet. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info talk about thousands of things at present, and talk about many things. Fayun dragged Shu Qunyue, and the teaching net covered the space. Check the thoughts of life and return to goodness, and the rain has fallen red.

Chen Xuanzang wore a brocade robe, sat on the altar, and talked about the origin of the world-honored Shakyamuni: "The Buddha was born to walk, and every step there was a lotus flower gushing out, and he suddenly spoke after seven steps; The Buddha also took the lotus as the platform, sat on the lotus platform, hid in the sea of the world, three thousand leaves on the side of the lotus platform, a flower and a world, a sand and a paradise. It's for the three thousand worlds......"

The monks under the altar looked intoxicated, although these words have often been seen in the scriptures, but from the mouth of the great explanatory master, another new experience. Especially the other party's face is tranquil, free and easy, and the Buddha is attached, like a Buddha in bliss, and then instills in them the great will of the Buddha.

After that, Chen Xuanzang went on to talk about "The Book of Life and Death" for a while, talk about "Bangtian Treasure Seal" for a while, and preach "Persuasion to Repair the Scroll", which can be described as witty words.

Seeing that the time had come, Guanyin approached, patted the treasure platform and shouted, "Then monk, you can only talk about Hinayana teachings, but can you talk about Mahayana?"

When Xuanzang heard this, not only did he not get angry because she disturbed the preaching, but he was overjoyed, and Wei Zheng mentioned to him a few days ago that there would be great power coming from Lingshan in the past few days. Although the person who disturbed his preaching was dressed as a monk, but judging by his momentum, he thought that he must be the powerful person Wei Zheng said. Lian turned over and jumped off the stage, raised his hand at her and said, "Master, the disciple is unsightly and sinful." The monks in front of me all talked about the Hinayana teachings, but they didn't know what the Mahayana teachings were. ”

Guanyin saw that he knew the etiquette, and did not have arrogance because of the change of identity, nodded secretly, and said: "You, the Hinayana teachings, cannot exalt the dead, but can only be vulgar and light." I have the Mahayana Buddhism Sanzang, which can transcend the deceased and ascend to heaven, overcome the suffering of others, cultivate immeasurable longevity, and be able to do nothing and come and go. ”

In the middle of the lecture, there was a Si Xiang inspector who hurriedly played Emperor Taizong and said: "The master was talking about the wonderful law, and he was torn off by two scabies wandering monks and talking nonsense. ”

Li Shimin was furious when he heard this, and immediately ordered him to be arrested. After a while, I saw many people pushing the two monks into the Houfa Hall.

Seeing Li Shimin, Guanyin couldn't afford to hold his hand, nor did he bow down, he looked up and said, "Your Majesty asked me something?" She bothered to lecture just to see Li Shimin, and now the preparation for learning the scriptures has entered the final step, as long as he nods, the plan to learn the scriptures can begin.

Li Shimin recognized her and wondered: "Are you the monk who gave the robe the day before yesterday?"

Guanyin smiled: "Exactly!"

Li Shimin said: "Since you have come here to listen to the lecture, you should only eat some fasting, why do you talk nonsense with my master, disturb the scripture hall, and misunderstand my Buddhist affairs?"

Guanyin said: "Your master is talking about the Hinayana teachings, and the dead will not ascend to heaven. I have the Mahayana Buddhism Sanzang, and I can get rid of death and suffering, and my life will not be bad. ”

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this, he received the life-saving grace of Buddhism, and the opening of the water and land conference was a reward. But after more than ten days of driving, I didn't see the Buddhas coming, and I was unhappy, thinking that the Buddhas didn't see his intentions as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. was about to wait for the 7749th meeting to be completed, so he withdrew the Buddhist affairs, so as not to appear in the chaos of Confucianism and education that Fu Yi said.

At this time, seeing the appearance of the two scabies monks who gave them robes and tin rods a few days ago, and hearing her say that there is a Buddhist scripture of "longevity without damage", I asked happily: "Where is your Mahayana Buddhism?"

Seeing him so cooperative, Guanyin was secretly happy in his heart, and said: "In the Daxi Tianzhu Guoda Leiyin Temple, where my Buddha came, I can solve the knot of a hundred grievances and eliminate the disaster without vain." ”

Li Shimin said: "Do you remember?"

Guanyin said: "I remember. ”

Li Shimin was overjoyed and said: "The teacher is leading, please come to the stage to speak." ”

Guanyin took a wooden fork, flew on the high platform, stepped on the auspicious clouds, until the nine heavens, showed the original body of saving suffering, and held the net bottle willow. On the left is the messenger of the wooden fork, holding the stick and shaking the spirit.

The compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva has countless incense congregations among the people, and everyone is naturally very familiar with her respect. Li Shimin bowed to the sky, all the civil and military knelt on the ground and burned incense, the monks and nuns in the temple were vulgar, and the scholars and craftsmen were all in the temple, and no one did not pray and said: "Good Bodhisattva, good Bodhisattva!"

When Li Shimin saw the appearance of the gods mentioned in the scriptures, he was so happy that he forgot the country and immediately passed on the decree, taught the skillful hand Danqing, and described the true image of the Bodhisattva. With a will, Wu Daozi, who was a visionary and clever figure of God writing, unfolded his wonderful pen at that time, and painted the true shape. Guanyin's auspicious clouds faded away, and the golden light disappeared in an instant. I saw that in the middle of the air, a simple post fell down, with a few words of praise on it, and it was written clearly. Song said: The Tang Dynasty is a great man, and there is a wonderful text in the West. The journey is 108,000 miles, and the Mahayana is diligent. This scripture returns to the kingdom and can surpass the ghosts. If there are those who are willing to go, seek the golden body of righteousness.

When Li Shimin saw Songzi, he had a heart, and immediately ordered the monks: "And win the meeting, wait for me to send someone to obtain the Mahayana scriptures, and then Bing Dan Cheng and rebuild the good results." Seeing that all the officials obeyed, he asked: "Who is willing to receive my will and go to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures?"

As soon as these words came out, the monks were silent, the west is far away, and there are poisonous demons and evil monsters, although the success is a positive result, but one accidentally falls into the tiger's den, how can he not die. It's better to stay in the temple honestly and be a monk who recites scriptures, at least you don't have to worry about your life.

Seeing that no one was willing to go, Li Shimin's face was a little unpleasant, the country spent a lot of money to support so many monks, and at this moment, it was the time to employ people, but no one was willing to work hard for him, the king.

Chen Xuanzang looked at the appearance and distinguished, and stepped forward and said: "The poor monk is not talented, I am willing to follow the work of dogs and horses, seek the true scriptures with Your Majesty, and pray to ensure that my king will be forever." "He can't help it, he is appreciated by the emperor, if he doesn't stand up, how can the name of the Great Interpretation Master be retained.

Li Shimin was overjoyed, stepped forward to help him up, and said: "The master can do his best to be loyal and virtuous, not afraid of long distances, trekking mountains and rivers, I am willing to worship you as a brother." ”

Xuanzang kowtowed and thanked him.

Li Shimin was very virtuous, so he went to the temple and bowed four times to Xuanzang in front of the statues of the Buddha, and called him "the holy monk of the royal brother". The reason why he surrendered his identity to worship a monk was not out of gratitude, but because he had just heard Guanyin's words. If Chen Xuanzang can obtain the true scriptures here, it will be a positive result, and his identity will naturally be beyond the ranks of mortals. If he can't go to the West Heaven, he will only lose a monk, and hundreds of thousands of monks and nuns in the Tang Dynasty will not be worse than him.

Xuanzang thanked him and said: "Your Majesty, what kind of virtue can a poor monk have, dare to be favored by heaven? If you don't go to the western heavens, you won't be able to follow the scriptures, and you won't dare to return to your country even if you die, and you will fall into hell forever. "Take incense in front of the Buddha and swear by it.

The king of Tang was very happy, and he liked this kind of person who worked hard for him, so he ordered to return to Luan, wait for the good day, send a mob to travel, and then drove back to disperse.

Xuanzang also returned to Hongfu Temple. The monks and several apprentices of the temple came to see each other when they heard about learning the scriptures, and asked in unison: "Do you swear to go to the west of the sky?"

Xuanzang said: "It's true." ”

His apprentice was really good for him, and persuaded: "Master, I have heard people's words, the west is far away, and there are more tigers and leopards and demons." I'm afraid that there will be no return, and it will be difficult to save my life. ”

Xuanzang said with a solemn face: "I have made a great vow that if I don't take the true scriptures, I will fall into hell forever." Probably because of the king's favor, he had to be loyal to serve the country. It's really slim for me to go, and it's hard to determine whether I'm going to do it. Then he said, "Disciples, after I go, it may be thirty-two years, or five or seven years, but when I see the pine branches in the mountain gate facing east, I will come back." Otherwise, there will be no return. ”

The disciples took this to heart.

Early the next morning, Li Shimin set up a court, gathered civil and military, wrote scriptures, and used the passage treasure seal. Qin Tian said: "Today is an auspicious star, and it is suitable for traveling long distances." ”

Li Shimin was overjoyed, and asked Huangmen Xuanzang to go to the palace and said: "Brother Yu, today is an auspicious day for travel." This is a customs clearance document. I also have a purple gold bowl to use for you on the way. Then choose two servants who have a long line, and a horse with silver threads, and send them to the foot force of the long journey. You can do this on this itinerary. ”

Xuanzang was overjoyed, even if he thanked him and received the things, he had no intention of staying, and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of learning scriptures is very important, and the poor monks dare not delay their efforts." And so it went. ”

Li Shimin nodded and lined up, and sent it to the gate with many officials, only to see that the monks and disciples of Hongfu Temple sent Xuanzang's winter and summer clothes to the outside of the gate. When he saw it, he first taught people to pack their bags and horses, and then drank wine with the officials holding pots. raised the lord, and asked, "What is the name of the royal brother?"

Xuanzang said: "The poor monk is a monk, and he doesn't dare to be titled. ”

"At that time, the Bodhisattva said that there are three scriptures in the western heavens. The royal brother can refer to the number of the scriptures, and the number is as good as the three Tibets?"

Xuanzang thanked him again, took the imperial wine and said: "Your Majesty, wine is the first precept of the monk's family, and the poor monk is a man of his own kind and does not know how to drink." ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Today's trip is different from others. This is a vegetarian wine, just drink this glass, in order to do the best for you!"

The king's order cannot be violated, Sanzang took the wine, and was about to drink it, only to see Li Shimin bow his head, dip his middle finger in a pinch of dust, and flick it into the wine. He didn't understand what he meant, Li Shimin smiled and said: "Royal brother, this time, when can I go back to the west?"

Sanzang had never been far away, so he calculated the distance in his heart and replied: "Only in three years, go back to Shangguo." ”

Li Shimin said: "The days are long, the mountains are far away, and the royal brother can enter this wine: I would rather love the soil in my hometown, and I would rather love the land in my hometown." ”

The meaning of the three Tibetan sides to lead the twisted soil, thanked the emperor for his grace, and went out of the customs under the guidance of the entourage.
