Li Shulan acted according to the plan she had considered, and she was ready to go to Qixia Temple, Jiming Temple, Hongjue Temple and Qingliang Temple four temples to visit, she chose this way of activity for two purposes, the first is to take the opportunity to visit the temple to relax, relax and relax, but also to the temple to worship the Buddha, pray for the Buddha's blessing, although Li Shulan does not believe in Buddhism, but she feels that praying to God and worship the Buddha can get a kind of spiritual comfort, can make people's mood more relaxed; the second is to deliberately put a smoke screen on the enemy, these days, she has a hunch, she feels that the enemy will come to follow her, her trip, is to deliberately give the enemy a wrong judgment, thinking that she is like the last time, continue to explore the temples everywhere。

Li Shulan asked the shopkeeper of "Wangliu Pavilion" to call you a rickshaw for her, she got on the rickshaw, and told the rickshaw master to walk slowly, she sat in the car leisurely, and asked the rickshaw master to pull her to Qixia Temple.

Sure enough, as the shopkeeper of "Wangliu Pavilion" said, the master of this rickshaw was very familiar with Qixia Temple, and he pulled Li Shulan to the northeast of Nanjing, and in about two hours, he pulled Li Shulan to the foot of Qixia Mountain.

The rickshaw master saw that Li Shulan was dressed as a rich boy, and he asked: "This son, have you been to Qixia Temple before? Why did you come alone this time? With an identity like yours, there is usually a scholar or something who is busy for you." ”

"This son likes to go out alone, I haven't been to Qixia Temple before, so, today I let the shopkeeper please you, who is very familiar with Qixia Temple, take this master to come over, this Qixia Temple is very famous, this son specially came here to visit, but also to the temple to burn incense, worship the Buddha, pray for peace. Listening to the shopkeeper of 'Wangliu Pavilion', you know a lot about Qixia Temple, you must know a lot of stories about Qixia Temple, right?" asked Li Shulan.

"The small one is a coachman, often pulling people to Qixia Temple, on the road often hear guests talk about Qixia Temple, over time. Naturally there is more understanding of this temple, the history of Qixia Temple is relatively long, it is said that in the seventh year of Yongming in the Southern Qi began to build this temple, in history, this temple has some very important figures, for example, when Qi and Liang, there is a great monk called 'Seng Lang', he spread the 'Three Treatises Doctrine' in Qixia Temple. The influence is very great, people who come to Qixia Temple, those who are knowledgeable, will mention the great monk Seng Lang. The rickshaw master said.

"It seems that you know a lot, even you know about the monk Lang's promotion of the 'three theories' in Qixia Temple, do you know how much influence this monk has in the Buddhist world?" asked Li Shulan.

"The little one only knows that Seng Lang is a very influential big man in this Qixia Temple. As for how it was affected, how big the impact was. I don't know at all. The rickshaw master said.

Li Shulan looked at the master pulling the rickshaw, she felt that although the master was not clear about the question she asked, he was very relaxed when he spoke to her, and there was a calm and relaxed look, she felt. This rickshaw driver is very different from other drivers.

"Today, we met, it is very fateful, you pull carefully, this son tells you some Buddhist stories that you didn't know before, so that you can confidently preach to your guests in the future. Are you interested in listening?" asked Li Shulan.

When Li Shulan was young, her father in order to pray for the blessing of the Buddha, there was a period of time to study Buddhism carefully and carefully, and many times to the major temples to burn incense, Li Shulan still remembers that her father told her a lot of stories about several big Buddha temples in Nanjing, some legends and stories of Qixia Temple, Li Shulan still remembers very clearly.

"Of course, I like to listen to it, I can have a noble son like you who tells the story of the temple to the little one, and the little one can't ask for it, it seems that the little one is in good luck today!" said the rickshaw master.

"This great monk Lang is not an ordinary person, he is an outstanding great monk who makes this Qixia Temple famous in the south of the Yangtze River. There is a Buddhist sect called 'Three Treatises', which is known to very few people if they don't come to Jiangnan, and it is precisely because of the spread of Seng Lang that the 'Three Treatises' has a heavy influence in Jiangnan. The theory of the 'Three Treatises' came from India and was later introduced to China, first in the north, and then to the south by the monks. In ancient India, there was a great monk named Nagarjuna, he wrote two books "The Middle Theory" and "The Twelve Gates", and another monk named Deva, he wrote a book called "Hundred Treatises", these three books together are called "Three Treatises", in the later Qin period, there was a translator named Kumarosh, translated the "Three Treatises" into Chinese, later, Monk Rui, Monk Zhao, Monk Dao and other famous monks conducted in-depth research on the "Three Theories", and the research results of Monk Zhao were the most prominent, so the "Three Theories" that entered China were called "Shizhao Studies". Li Shulan said.

Li Shulan looked at the rickshaw master carefully and felt that Li Shulan herself couldn't say clearly, with this feeling, Li Shulan was very willing to tell the rickshaw master more Buddhist theories and stories.

"This son, the Buddhism you talked about is too deep, the little one can only understand part of it, fortunately, the little one read a few books when he was young, otherwise he wouldn't understand anything, but the little one doesn't understand, what does the 'Three Treatises' and 'Shi Zhaozhixue' you said have to do with Qixia Temple?"

"The relationship is great, the 'Three Treatises' is the main content of the 'Shizhao Studies', and it is Seng Lang who used the platform of Qixia Temple to spread the 'Three Treatises' to the south of the Yangtze River. Originally, these 'three treatises' were only spread in the north, and later, Seng Lang once met a hermit surnamed Zhou in Zhongshan Thatched Cottage, and the hermit taught the 'Three Treatises' to Seng Lang, and Seng Lang passed the 'Three Treatises' to Jiangnan, at that time, a branch called 'Chengshi Zong' was prevalent in Jiangnan, and few people knew that there was a 'Three Treatises', and Seng Lang Tong guò and the Mahayana Master of 'Chengshi Zong' debated, and improved' The status of the Three Treatises Sect in the Buddhist circles in the south of the Yangtze River, at this time, Seng Lang entered the Qixia Temple, worshiped under the door of the Fadu, and later, the Seng Lang inherited the Qixia Temple of the Fadu, and became the most influential monk of the Qixia Temple. Li Shulan explained.

"The small one understands a little, Seng Lang is a learned monk, and his luck is very good, he got the true transmission of a hermit, so he inherited the 'three theories' to the south, he has an influence, he worships the great monk of Qixia Temple as the master, and later inherited the Dharma seat of Qixia Temple, and became the head of the monk, this Qixia Temple has Seng Lang, the big monk spreads the 'three theories', and the fame is even greater, and it has become a famous temple that influences the Quartet, is the small one right?" said the master.

"Your understanding is not wrong at all, in fact, you are very smart, as soon as my son says it, you can understand, you are very perceptive, maybe there is some kind of fate!" Li Shulan said.

"I'm so happy to be so appreciative of you, tell me more, what other good stories do you have?" said the rickshaw driver.

"Seng Lang became famous not only because he was learned, but also because he was valued by an emperor who believed in Buddhism. The establishment of the Liang Dynasty regime, and later became the emperor Xiao Yan, is a special belief in Buddhism of the emperor, he personally went to Tongtai Temple as a presiding monk for three days, devoted to the study of Buddhism, later, Xiao Yan wanted to be a monk are addicted, he has three times to give up his life to become a monk, take off the emperor's robe, put on monk's clothes, and preach the "Nirvana Sutra" and other scriptures. Xiao Yan's three ordination made the ministers of the court and central government anxious, and they had no choice but to use a large amount of money to ask for the redemption of the 'Emperor Bodhisattva', and Xiao Yan agreed to return to the world. At that time, Xiao Yan got the successful deeds of Seng Lang spreading the "Three Treatises", he admired and valued Seng Lang very much, he sent Seng Huai, Seng Quan and other ten people to Qixia Temple to learn the "Three Treatises" doctrine from Seng Lang, and later formed a sect of "Inheritance of the Mountains". Li Shulan said.

"No wonder Seng Lang is so famous, it turned out that he was favored by the emperor and helped the emperor teach his disciples, this emperor surnamed Xiao is very interesting, he doesn't want to be an emperor anymore, but he goes to be a monk, isn't it fun to be an emperor? The rickshaw master said.

"This can't just be attributed to luck, in fact, the reason why Seng Lang was valued by Emperor Xiao Yan is mainly because he is diligent and studious, he has lived in seclusion in Qixia Temple for a long time, concentrating on studying Buddhism, has not come out, known as 'Mountain Master', Seng Lang has studied the 'Three Treatises' all his life, and the results are outstanding, he has cultivated a lot of disciples, and is very promising, Seng Lang's disciples are also famous, such as Xinghuang Temple's Falang, Changgan Temple's wisdom, Huiyong of Qizhong Temple, Qixia Temple's Huibu, known as 'Four Friends of Quangong', they spread ' 'Three Treatises on the Mountains', so that 'Shizhao Zhixue' has a wide influence in the south of the Yangtze River, and Qixia Temple has become a temple with a special status in Nanjing City since the beginning of Seng Lang, and is highly favored. Li Shulan said.

"The great monk Seng Lang is indeed amazing, the emperor values him, he has cultivated many disciples, great influence, many of his disciples spread the 'three treatises' in various temples, and naturally the fame of Seng Lang is very great. The rickshaw master said.

"Why are so many disciples willing to follow him? Why are his disciples able to spread his theories in various temples? Of course, it is Seng Lang who is very knowledgeable and can carry forward the 'Three Treatises', expound the theory of 'emptiness of all laws', and promote the theory of 'the two truths of truth and vulgarity' and the theory of 'Eight Non-Middle Paths'. Li Shulan said.

The rickshaw master really didn't understand what Li Shulan said, he was stunned for a moment, and said to Li Shulan: "What you just said is too profound, and the little ones can't understand it at all, can you use a popular story to tell it?"

Li Shulan thought: "The rickshaw master in front of me is not an ordinary driver, he is very related to Buddhism, maybe he will be a person who is very proficient in Buddhism in the future, I must continue to teach him Buddhist theories, whether he understands it or not, he will feel it." ”

Seeing that Li Shulan was pondering and didn't speak, the rickshaw master said, "Why didn't you speak, because the little one didn't understand, were you disappointed?"

Li Shulan stared at the rickshaw master, with a smile on her face, but still didn't speak. (To be continued......)
