Chapter 524 : Xuanzang is the second or fifth child!?
As a core member of Xuanzang's journey to the west to seek Buddhist scriptures, people in Buddhism naturally pay great attention to his information.
However, Guanyin Bodhisattva is the one who coordinates the matter on Journey to the West, so no one will intervene.
But today, Baoguang Buddha looked at the name that appeared on the Ten Thousand Buddhas Record. It turned out to be the subdistrict name of Jiang Liu, not Xuanzang's Dharma name, which made Baoguang Buddha ponder secretly in his heart.
This matter is a big deal, or a small deal.
If an ordinary monk was like this, Baoguang Buddha would not bother to pay attention to so much, but this happened to Xuanzang, so Baoguang Buddha would naturally take it seriously.
After thinking about it, Baoguang Buddha put away the Ten Thousand Buddhas Record and went straight toward the direction of Daleiyin Temple.
"Amitabha, I don't know what the treasure light Buddha is coming?" The Buddha, who was eighteen golden-body, sat quietly on the lotus platform, looked at the treasure light Buddha who came to see him, and asked.
"I have seen the Buddha, and I came today for a different thing!"
When Baoguang Buddha came to the Tathagata, he had no intention of nonsense. He whispered the Buddha's name, and then he handed over the Record of Ten Thousand Buddhas and said, "Buddha, look, a new name appears on the Record of Ten Thousand Buddhas!"
The Tathagata's expression remained unmoved, but his brows raised slightly.
If there is only an ordinary name, there is naturally nothing worth paying attention to. Since Baoguang Buddha specifically asked himself to see it, Tathagata Buddha also knew that something important must be happening.
The Buddha of Tathagata raised his hand and flew directly into the Tathagata's hands.
Immediately, the Tathagata turned the record of Ten Thousand Buddhas to the last page.
Of course, the Tathagata's eyes also fell on the last name in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Record.
"Jiangliu!?"
When the Buddha Tathagata saw this name, it was obviously a subdistrict name, not a Dharma name. The Tathagata's heart also moved slightly, and he immediately concentrated his mind and calculated.
However, even Tathagata felt that the secrets of heaven were dark and unclear, and he could not find anything at all.
Of course, this also confirms the conjecture of the Tathagata Buddha. This Jiangliu is indeed Xuanzang.
"Ask Guanyin Master!"
After a moment of silence, the Buddha Tathagata did not rush to express his opinion, but spoke.
It seems to be a simple sentence, but under the power of Buddha, this sentence flew directly into the purple bamboo forest in the South China Sea.
Because of Jiang Liu's passionate and respectful attitude towards Maitreya Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, who secretly ate the taste, heard the call of the Buddha of Tathagata, naturally did not dare to neglect it. He immediately set off and flew towards the Daleiyin Temple.
"I have seen the Buddha, and I have seen the Buddha of Treasure Light!" When I came to the Great Leiyin Temple, Guanyin Bodhisattva gave gifts to the Buddha of Tathagata and Namo Baoguang Buddha respectively.
"I have met Guanyin Master!" As Guanyin saw the ceremony, Baoguang Buddha returned the ceremony.
After seeing each other, Guanyin Bodhisattva's eyes fell on the Buddha Tathagata, obviously waiting for the Buddha Tathagata's instructions.
"Master Guanyin, let me ask you, Jin Chanzi traveled westward, how is his cultivation?" The Buddha Tathagata looked at Guanyin condescendingly and asked.
"Cultivation!?" Guanyin Bodhisattva was secretly surprised, and glanced at the Ten Thousand Buddha Records in the hands of the Tathagata Buddha without any trace.
Obviously, I didn’t expect that the Buddha Tathagata and Baoguang Buddha specially summoned themselves here to ask Xuanzang’s cultivation questions?
However, although he was surprised, Guanyin Bodhisattva had no intention of hiding it and answered: "Just a while ago, Xuanzang had already overcome the heavenly thunder tribulation and had reached the realm of Arhat!"
"It's him!" Hearing the words of Guanyin Bodhisattva, he understood Jiang Liu's current cultivation level. The Buddha Tathagata nodded secretly in his heart and confirmed the name on the Ten Thousand Buddhas Record. It was indeed Jiang Liu.
"What's wrong? Buddha? Is there anything wrong?" Seeing that Buddha Tathagata pondered and had no intention of speaking, Guanyin Bodhisattva thought for a while and asked.
My job is to coordinate the entire journey to the west to seek Buddhist scriptures. Since it is something that happened to Xuanzang, logically, I should have the right to know, right?
Moreover, we have an obligation to try our best to understand the matters about the team traveling west to obtain the scriptures.
"The name of Jin Chanzi just appeared in this Ten Thousand Buddhas Record!"
After hearing Guanyin Bodhisattva’s inquiry, Buddha Tathagata had no intention of hiding it. He raised the ten thousand Buddhas in his hand slightly and answered.
"Isn't this supposed to be? Is there anything strange?" Guanyin Bodhisattva asked strangely after hearing the words of Buddha Tathagata.
"It's true that there is nothing strange. As a Buddhist, Jin Chanzi has reached the realm of Arhat. It is natural to appear in the Record of Ten Thousand Buddhas."
"But the blame is that his name is not Xuanzang's Dharma name, but his subdistrict name in Jiangliu!" The Buddha Tathagata spoke and explained the reason.
"The name that appears on the Wan Buddha Record is the name of his layman family!?"
After hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva's face changed slightly, and realizing that this matter was indeed not simple.
"In theory, the names that appear on the Ten Thousand Buddhas Record are usually the Dharma names of my Buddhist disciples, but Jin Chanzi appears as a layman name. Does this mean that in his heart, Jiang Liu is actually his own name? He does not recognize Xuanzang's Dharma name!?"
Seeing that Guanyin Bodhisattva's face changed slightly, and realized the meaning of this matter, the Tathagata Buddha spoke.
These words made Guanyin Bodhisattva and Baoguang Buddha silent.
Xuanzang is a core member of the team traveling to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures. He dare not draw a conclusion on whether he recognizes his identity as a Buddhist disciple.
The relationship between this is a little too big!
"Buddha, what do you mean? Although Xuanzang thought he was a Buddhist disciple on the surface, he actually did not think so?" After a moment of silence, although he felt that this matter was a bit unbelievable, Guanyin Bodhisattva still spoke and put forward his own guess.
"Apart from this explanation, I can't imagine any other possibility that will cause this current situation!" Condescendingly, the Buddha's eyes fell on Guanyin Bodhisattva, and after pondering for a moment, nodded and said.
"Buddha, you have to carefully verify this matter and never draw conclusions!"
Hearing the words of Buddha Tathagata, it was obviously the same as his own suspicion, and Guanyin Bodhisattva's face became solemn.
If this is the case, then things will be really troublesome.
The great cause of seeking scriptures in Xixing is a major event that concerns the prosperity of the entire Buddhist community. From beginning to end, Buddhism has made good arrangements for almost every detail.
In order to ensure that all this goes smoothly, Buddha Tathagata deliberately found an excuse to induce his disciple Jin Chanzi into reincarnation.
But today I said that Xuanzang did not regard himself as a Buddhist in his heart!?
"I remember that even though Xuanzang gave incense, he still eloped with Princess Gaoyang and was immersed in the love between men and women. Moreover, the reason why Xuanzang was willing to embark on the road to travel west to obtain scriptures that day seemed to be a transaction? A transaction with Buddha?"
At this time, Namo Baoguang Buddha, who had never interrupted, spoke, and looked at the Tathagata and said to him.
"That's true!" After hearing these words, the Buddha Tathagata nodded slightly.
He also remembered that Xuanzang was holding Princess Gaoyang and kowtowed in front of his Buddha statue, asking him to save her.
At the beginning, it was a transaction. He agreed to save Gao Yang, and Jiang Liu also agreed to go west to obtain the scriptures.
Therefore, Guanyin Bodhisattva went to the back and guided the river to embark on the road to the west to obtain the scriptures, which was particularly smooth.
Now, looking back, he just thinks of this as a transaction? Didn’t he regard himself as a Buddhist disciple?
The beginning of the journey to the west was just a transaction. So it seems not surprising that he did not regard himself as a Buddhist disciple!?
"After walking, I heard Xuanzang drink, eat meat, kill people and set fire. Originally, he said, 'Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha's heart', I didn't doubt it. Now it seems that he does not regard himself as a Buddhist disciple, so he has no intention of observing the rules and precepts from beginning to end?"
At this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva spoke up and put forward another point of view.
Sometimes, this is how people are. When you like someone, even if they are flaws, they will ignore them and feel that they don’t care.
But when you hate someone, even the advantages will become worthless in your eyes.
By the same token, when you don’t doubt others, even if there are some obvious clues, you won’t doubt them.
But if you really doubt someone, your words and deeds will seem suspicious!
Now, Guanyin Bodhisattva and the others have this kind of thought!
I felt that Jiang Liu did not regard himself as a Buddhist. After he began to doubt it, he immediately felt that many of his behaviors seemed to be very suspicious.
"Amitabha!"
After discussing each other for a few words, the Buddha Tathagata immediately pronounced the Buddha's name, obviously, we need to make a summary.
In front of the Buddha Tathagata, both Baoguang Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva did not speak, and their eyes fell on the Buddha Tathagata.
"Master Guanyin, you are the coordination of the great cause of going west. Let me leave this matter to you to confirm it!" The Buddha's eyes fell on Guanyin Bodhisattva and said.
As soon as he said this, the Buddha Tathagata paused slightly and continued, "In addition, you need to remember a principle. No matter how suspicious you are, you can doubt it with confidence, but you must verify it carefully and not make any mistakes!"
"Abide by the law, I understand!" After hearing the instructions of Buddha Tathagata, Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded heavily and answered.
Of course, Guanyin Bodhisattva understood the importance of this matter and did not allow mistakes.
