Chapter 242: Xuanzang Xiansen, do you know that Buddha is Tao?
Early the next morning, Kong Qing once again followed Fu Yi to the Huiri Temple of the Shatai Fahua Sect in Huaidefang. As soon as he entered the gate, Kong Qing found that the entire Huiri Temple had been deserted and the temple was empty.
, not a single monk could be found, and even the abbot was missing. Only some slaves who were responsible for working in the temple stood in a pile, looking at them tremblingly, as if they were some kind of invaders.
Kong Qing pursed his lips and turned to look at Fu Yi next to him...
He originally thought he would see an angry face, but he didn't expect that not only was Fu Yi's face not angry, there wasn't even a hint of anger on Fu Yi's face, he was even smiling.
Then, Kong Qing saw him waving to the side, and then a young man walked out of Yuancong's guards.
"Junya, did you do what someone asked you to do yesterday?"
"Qi Ling Yin,"
The young man cupped his hands and said calmly.
"The whereabouts of all the monks of the Fahua Sect in Chang'an City are in the palm of your hand."
"good!"
Fu Yi smiled and waved his hand, with a look of excitement that could not be concealed.
"Take some people to resettle all the slaves of Huiri Temple first, and then seal him. Let us go and clean up those temples that dare to accommodate monks from the Fahua Sect and go against the saints."
"yes!"
The young man named Junya agreed and turned around to leave.
Soon the Yuan Cong imperial guards began to take action. First, under the guidance of the remaining slaves in the temple, they went to the temple's accounting room, warehouse and other places to seize property. Then they took the slaves to the nearest county government office in Chang'an County to distribute the property.
Yongye Tian, they were organized into households and the people were unified.
After going through this procedure, these slaves evolved from the private property of the monks to the taxpayers of the Tang Dynasty...
What a joy and congratulation! What a joy and congratulation!
After these slaves were taken out of Huiri Temple, Kong Qing and Fu Yi followed the young man named Junya and led the remaining Yuan Cong imperial guards to the Chanding Temple.
Zen and concentration, both Zen and concentration, this temple has a Zen style.
That's right, before Zen Buddhism spread south, there were three or four Zen temples in Chang'an City, all of which were Zen sects. One of them was built by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, and it was located at Yongyangfang and Hepingfang...
Does this place look familiar?
Well, after this Zen temple fell into the hands of the Fahua sect during the Daye period, it was converted into a Zhuangyan temple by monk Faya.
There is also a Zending Temple in Yongyangfang and Hepingfang, which is opposite the previous Zending Temple. The two temples equally divide the land of the two squares.
This latter Zen Temple was built by Emperor Wen's son, Emperor Yang. It seemed that in order to prove that he was better than Emperor Wen, Emperor Yang added another big character to this Zen Temple, called the Great Zen Temple.
During the Daye period, the Zen sect moved south, and this great Zen temple fell into the hands of the Chengshi sect. It is now called the Great Zen Temple.
The third Zen Temple was located in Zhongnan Mountain and was later renamed Zen Sutra Temple.
The Zen temple that Kong Qing and the others are visiting now is Judefang, located in the northwest of Xishi City. Although the name of this Zen temple has not been changed, it is no longer a Zen monastery. The person who presides over it now is a Taoist from the Kushe sect.
Monk Yue.
Just when Kong Qing followed Fu Yi to Chanding Temple, Yuancong Imperial Guards had surrounded the entire Chanding Temple, frightening the monks in Chanding Temple to panic.
"Fu Lingyin..."
A trembling old monk stood at the gate, folding his hands and saluting Fu Yi.
"Didn't the current saint say that he would make Yinsha eliminate the Fahua Sect? I don't know why you came to this meditation temple of my Kushe Sect?"
"Of course it's because you intend to protect those monks of the Lotus Sect and resist the saint Shatai Lotus Sect..."
As soon as Fu Yi came up, he slapped a hat on the old monk opposite.
"From my perspective, this time the Fahua Sect colluded with Hu Ni and plotted to assassinate Princess Pingyang, and your Jushe Sect also had a hand behind it."
"Let Yin Ming see you..."
After hearing Fu Yi's words, the old monk suddenly panicked.
"How could I, the Jushe Sect, ever dare to do such a rebellious and unethical thing?"
"Don't you dare? I think you are very brave!"
Fu Yi stopped shouting.
"Come here, rush in and arrest all the monks from the Fahua Sect they are protecting..."
After giving the order, I saw the Yuan Cong Imperial Guards around them raising their weapons and charging towards the inside of the temple, which scared the monks of the Chanding Temple and trembled like quails.
"Fu Lingyin..."
At this moment, a monk who was about twenty years old stood up without fear and said in protest.
"How can you convince the poor monk and others by acting like this?"
"Do I need to convince you?"
Fu Yi waved his sleeves disdainfully and said with contempt.
"As long as I arrest all the monks of the Lotus Sect that you have protected from Zending Temple, you will all be accomplices in the conspiracy. Do you think I care whether you accept it or not?"
"If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct..."
Facing Fu Yi, the young monk was still arguing.
"Ling Yin, you said you don't care whether we believe it or not. Do all officials of the Tang Dynasty behave in such a domineering manner?"
Looking at the hard-headed monk in front of him, Kong Qing suddenly had an impulse, and then he casually threw away an identification technique.
Name: Xuanzang
Age: twenty years old
Past: I became a monk when I was young, traveled around various places, and studied classics. Because I was underage and had not received full ordination, I heard that the great monk Daoyue was giving a lecture on "Kusha Lun" at Chang'an Chanding Temple, so I came to listen to the lecture and arrived in Chang'an more than a month ago.
Now: Although I have fully understood the Kushe Lun, there are conflicts between various schools of scripture, so I came up with the idea of going to Tianzhu to inquire about the original text and rectify the original source. However, due to the ongoing war in the Western Region, I am temporarily unable to travel.
Future: In the seventh year of Wude, he asked to go to the West to seek Dharma, but was not allowed. In the third year of Zhenguan (629), he smuggled out of Dunhuang and traveled to Shecheng, King of Magadha. Entered Nalanda Temple, studied Buddhism with Jie Xian, and traveled around for five years.
After dozens of kingdoms in Tianzhu, he wrote three thousand verses in "Huizong Lun", integrating the two Kongyou sects and creating the Faxiang sect. He returned to Chang'an in the 19th year of Zhenguan.
Major: None
Cultivation: Qi training
"Huh!"
Seeing the introduction of the young monk in front of him, Kong Qing's mouth twitched silently.
A certain monk named Daoyue had been studying "Kusha Lun" for a lifetime, but this young monk finally understood it in more than a month.
Kong Qing could only say that the great monk Daoyue had lived in vain.
But comparing Monk Daoyue, a vulgar monk with no hope of becoming an Arhat, to the young monk in front of me is a bit bullying...
After all, in the future this young monk will be able to comprehend the "Yogi's Ground", "Promote the Sacred Teachings", "Anti-Dharma", "Jijushastra", "Middle Way", "Hundred Treatises", "Kusashastra" and "Davipassa".
"Shun Zheng Theory", "Yin Ming Lun", "Shing Lun" and other Buddhist classics can integrate the classic Tripitaka and create a metamorphosis of Dharma Xiang Sect.
Yes, he is the reincarnation of the legendary Golden Chanzi, an eminent monk who has cultivated for ten generations, a living ginseng fruit that can lead to immortality if you eat a piece of his flesh, the Sandalwood Merit Buddha of the Thirty-Five Buddhas of Buddhism, and the imperial brother Mr. Tang Monk.
Kong Qing looked up and down at this most famous monk in the world.
I can see that he is slightly chubby, with long and slender eyebrows, slightly squinted eyes, and very ordinary facial features. According to the aesthetic point of view of the Tang Dynasty, he is not an outstandingly handsome man. Moreover, it is probably because he often travels on the road and his skin is tanned.
It must be a bit dark.
Generally speaking, he is just an ordinary young man who is slightly fat and slightly dark.
Kong Qing nodded silently.
The case was solved. The king of the female kingdom must have never seen a man before, so he felt that the male orangutan looked very handsome.
At this moment, Fu Yi shook his sleeves and knocked away a Tang monk who was trying to squeeze in front of him.
"I don't know what to say. If you continue to say more, I will directly imprison you for treason against our comrades and deprive you of your ultimatum."
As a result, the young Tang Seng was very stubborn. After getting up, he continued to speak loudly.
"If you go to jail, go to jail, poor monk..."
call!
A gust of wind picked up Tang Monk and threw him in front of Kong Qing.
"Why should Fu Lingyin bother with this ignorant young man..."
Kong Qing raised his head and smiled slightly at Fu Yi.
“It’s better to get things done quickly!”
"Um!"
Fu Yi glanced at Tang Monk who was lying on the ground, then took two steps forward without hesitation and drank to the Yuancong guards.
"What are you procrastinating about? Are the swords and guns in your hands just decorations?"
After hearing Fu Yi's words, the Yuancong Imperial Guards immediately showed their weapons one by one, rushed into the Zen room like wolves and tigers, and began to search the temple vigorously.
Kong Qing squatted down and stretched out his hand to the young monk who was trying to stand up again from the ground.
"Hello, Mr. Tang Monk, poor Taoist noble..."
"The poor monk is polite,"
Xuanzang looked at Kong Qing who was smiling and nodded subconsciously in return.
"But you may have mistaken the person. The poor monk's Buddhist name is Xuanzang, not the Tang monk..."
"Well, maybe Pindao made a mistake!"
Kong Qing said with a smile.
"Mr. Xuanzang, you know that Buddha is the Tao...well, what I mean by Pindao is that you know why the theories of various Buddhist sects conflict with each other, making you feel at a loss.
?"
"ah……"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Monk Xuanzang raised his head and looked at Kong Qing strangely.
"Isn't it because the Buddhist classics were missing or unsystematic when they were introduced to China?"
"of course not!"
Kong Qing squatted on the ground and said with a mysterious face.
"The reason why this happened is that when Buddhism spread in China, it borrowed too many Taoist classics, but failed to integrate them well. For example, you should have heard about the use of Zen to infuse mysticism during the Jin Dynasty.
Let’s get through it!”
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Xuanzang blinked his eyes and asked something strange.
"But as far as the poor monk knows..."
"You are still young and don't know that there is something wrong with what you know."
Kong Qing interrupted Xuanzang without hesitation.
"Although Pindao is a Taoist priest, not a monk, Pindao believes that studying knowledge is the same. For example, we cannot study rote books and study rotely. When doing research, we must consider the cultural background of the time, for example
What is the background of Kumarajiva’s translation of the scriptures?”
Kong Qing looked at Xuanzang's serious face and said seriously.
"Xuan Zang, if you think about it, it was during the Hongshi period. Emperor Yao Chang of the Later Qin Dynasty died and Prince Yao Xing succeeded him. He attacked and killed the Emperor Fu Deng of the Former Qin Dynasty. However, there were still many people who were not convinced by him at that time, so he was
The main reason why Kumarajiva came to Chang'an to translate scriptures was to improve his legitimacy.
Because his throne was not inherited from the former Qin Dynasty, but snatched after the rebellion, Kumarajiva's translated scriptures will definitely be added with more theories about the equality of laws and that no one is superior or inferior.
…”
As he said this, Kong Qing began to count with his fingers where Xuanzang was.
"You are more familiar with the Prajna Sutra, Lotus Sutra, Vimalakirti Sutra, Amitabha Sutra, and Diamond Sutra translated by Kumarajiva than I am. Do you think there is some reason for this?
"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Xuanzang instinctively felt something was wrong, but for a while he didn't know what went wrong.
