"I pay homage to the Bodhisattva. I just wonder if the Bodhisattva suddenly appeared in the palace today. What's the matter?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva went straight to the topic and said:
"Did you know that a few days ago, Tang San was guilty of studying for Buddhist scriptures and had nothing to do?"
Empress Changsun was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "I have heard a little bit about it."
Although she never asked about matters in the court,
But he still knew about this matter, and His Majesty still wanted to know about it because of this matter
It's not for the sake of harmony. It's because of this.
And got very angry.
Tang Sanzang was imprisoned for this.
Could it be said that Guanyin Bodhisattva came for Tang Sanzang?
Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed and said:
"Because Tang Sanzang failed to obtain the true scriptures, the Emperor of Tang became angry with Buddhism and wanted to demolish temples across the country and destroy Buddhism. Do you know this?"
Your Majesty actually wants to destroy the Buddha? When did this happen?
Queen Changsun was immediately shocked and said continuously:
"Bodhisattva, I have never heard of this, and Your Majesty has never had any disrespect towards Buddhism."
The Buddha is about to be destroyed, yet you still have no disrespect?
Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled bitterly.
It seems that Queen Changsun knew nothing about this matter.
"You don't have to be alarmed. I'm not here to blame anyone. I'm here to ask you to explain it to Emperor Tang and explain why. Maybe there is a misunderstanding about Buddhism."
Empress Changsun was stunned for a moment, feeling a little unbelievable.
His Majesty is about to destroy the Buddha, but the Bodhisattva does not blame him, but wants me to explain to him?
Why does this sound like a dream?
When did Your Majesty become so powerful?
Queen Changsun said:
"What does the Bodhisattva want me to explain? Please give me instructions.
Guanyin Bodhisattva said:
"Tang Sanzang did not abide by the rules and precepts and was contemptuous of Buddhism. He has been expelled from Buddhism long ago. Now he has no relationship with Buddhism. I also ask the king of Tang not to involve Buddhism because of his affairs."
"When the king of Tang was tied to his life by a ghost, and his soul wandered to the underworld, and his life was about to expire, it was all because of my Buddha's compassionate heart, and he was able to live for another two thousand years."
"You just have to explain this to him."
There was an expert behind Li Shimin's guidance, but she wasn't sure who it was.
Now we can only hope that the other party does not know all the inside story of Journey to the West.
Let Empress Changsun turn a deaf ear to it, confuse it a bit, and maybe it can dispel the other party's hatred of Buddhism.
After all, Empress Changsun was Li Shimin's bedfellow, so it would be much more effective for her to explain than to explain in person.
There are actually these things? Empress Changsun was very surprised, but she still nodded and agreed.
Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded and gradually disappeared. Just as he was about to leave the palace, he suddenly discovered that outside the palace gate, several eunuchs led several elderly monks in and headed towards the Tai Chi Hall.
Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly showed a look of doubt on his face
Tai Chi Hall is where Li Shimin handled political affairs
When these monks went there, Ji Shimin must have summoned Li.
But now Li Shimin has a very bad view of Buddhism. Shouldn't he be disgusted with monks? Why would he summon monks?
Moreover, Guanyin Bodhisattva clearly noticed that although these monks were over fifty years old, they had quick steps, strong bodies, clear and bright eyes, and a profound Zen charm lingering around them. They were obviously accomplished monks.
Li Shimin summoned them, could it be that he wanted to ask them for Buddhist advice?
Just thinking about it makes Guanyin Bodhisattva think it is impossible
There must be something fishy in this.
Thinking like this, Guanyin Bodhisattva came directly to the sky above Taiji Hall.
In the main hall, Ji Shimin was sitting high and Pang Lifu was holding a Buddhist scripture and looking at it carefully.
Above the Buddhist scriptures, the divine light lingers, the Buddhist charm is washed away, and a vast Zen spirit spreads out from above.
Li Shimin is still interested in Buddhist scriptures?
Guanyin Bodhisattva was stunned for a moment, feeling a little incredible.
He looked at the Buddhist scripture and was stunned when he saw the content on it.
It’s actually a Mahayana Buddhist sutra!
How can this be?
The Mahayana Sutra is the Bible of Buddhism, used to plan the journey to the West and gather the faith of living beings.
It can be said to be an untold secret of Buddhism.
Even the Buddhist scriptures spread in Xihe Niuzhou are only incomplete versions of Mahayana Buddhist scriptures.
How could Li Shimin have Mahayana Buddhist scriptures in his hands?
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva felt a little unbelievable, and subconsciously thought that this Buddhist sutra was fake, and at most it was just a incomplete version.
However, after careful comparison, I found that this scripture is exactly the same as the real Mahayana Buddhist scripture.
This shocked her even more.
Although Li Shimin is an emperor, he is just a mortal. How could there be Mahayana Buddhist scriptures for no reason?
Fei knew that when Tang Zang was collecting scriptures, he only
When we arrived at Lingshan, we didn’t enter Daleiyin Temple, so we didn’t even see the leather hand holding the Qingcheng Buddhist Sutra.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible that this Buddhist scripture was brought back by Tang Sanzang.
Could it be that there is a traitor in Buddhism?
The more Guanyin Bodhisattva thought about it, the more it seemed possible.
Buddhism is currently experiencing internal and external troubles, and people's hearts are fluctuating. Maybe some people in Buddhism have taken refuge with other forces, but it's not certain.
Of course, it is also possible that the saint has taken action and is secretly plotting against Buddhism.
After all, although Mahayana Buddhist scriptures are the secrets of Buddhism, saints know everything, so it is easy to create a fake Mahayana Buddhist scripture.
At this time, in the main hall, Li Shimin had already passed the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures to several monks.
These monks are all profound people in Buddhism, and Sanskrit is still very simple for them.
After Li Shimin confirmed that these monks could translate Sanskrit, he was very happy and immediately ordered these monks to translate the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures in front of the civil and military officials at a court meeting a few days later.
Of course, Li Shimin did not tell the monks that he would take Buddhist scriptures this summer.
Letting them read scriptures is just to instill Buddhism into the civil and military officials.
Several monks did not realize that there was something wrong with it, and they were very happy about it. After all, if this matter was done well, it would expand the influence of Buddhism, so they were naturally happy to accept it.
Guanyin Bodhisattva showed a look of indignation on his face.
This Li Shimin is indeed a good calculator.
Outsiders may not know what the Mahayana sutras say, but as a Buddhist Bodhisattva, she is a descendant of
Among them, Wu Waiping promoted some concepts of destiny and reincarnation, convincing the world that as long as he sincerely worships the Buddha, he can eliminate karma, avoid falling into reincarnation, and enter the paradise of bliss.
The ultimate goal is to make all living beings turn to Buddha and gather the power of faith for Buddhism.
On the surface, this set of concepts does not mean much, but if it is misinterpreted, it becomes a complete strategy to fool the people.
If this dirty water is poured out, the reputation of Buddhism will be ruined, and its majesty will definitely plummet.
And she will also be affected.
After all, she showed up directly at the Qiqi Water and Land Conference and preached Mahayana Buddhist scriptures in public.
He directly praised this Mahayana Buddhist sutra to the heavens and made it unparalleled in the world.
Not only the King of Tang, but also all the civil and military officials present were fooled into believing in the mysteries of the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures.
Now that the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures have been translated, what should the civil and military officials think if they find that they are not like this?
It turns out that Bodhisattva is deceiving us.
It turns out that gods and Buddhas can also lie.
Isn't this a social death on the spot?
Even thinking about that kind of scene, Guanyin Bodhisattva cannot bear it.
A ball of Buddha's light floated in the palm of his hand, and he shot it directly downwards.
Prepare to wipe out this Mahayana Buddhist scripture directly.
It was originally a sure thing, but at this moment something strange happened. On the table next to Li Shimin, a sword lit up with a bright divine light and made a dragon roar.
A golden dragon of luck appeared out of thin air, and the Buddha's light was instantly wiped out.
A majestic seal force that seemed to suppress time and space swept over,
Guanyin Bodhisattva felt his soul trembling, and he tore open the space and escaped from this world.
I still felt a lingering fear afterwards.
That sword is a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure that can condense the power of luck, but the power it releases, although terrifying, is not to the extent that it scares her.
What shocked her was that the sword actually contained a mark of law.
The power of the seal seems to be able to invalidate magical powers.
If she had been slower to react just now, her identity would have been exposed.
Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Chang'an City, her expression suddenly changed. At this time, she was extremely calm.
The people behind Li Shimin have a lot of history, at least they are powerful.
If she intervenes rashly, she may not only fail to break the situation, but may also involve herself in it.
However, she couldn't just ignore it.
After all, if this happens, Li Shimin will definitely take advantage of this momentum to launch an operation to exterminate Buddhas throughout the Tang Dynasty.
After returning home, not only was it difficult for Tathagata to explain to the two saints, but they also had to punish her.
The safest way now is to go back to Daleiyin Temple and explain the situation to Tathagata.
Daleiyin Temple.
Tathagata Buddha asked a little worriedly
"What is the current situation of Datang?"
Manjushri Bodhisattva said with a strange expression:
"Informing the Buddha, the King of Tang's decision to demolish the temple was blocked by the ministers, and the matter came to an end. But for some reason, the King of Tang announced to the ministers that they would hold a Dharma conference in three days."
Some people are confused about the situation. Not long ago, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to destroy Buddhism. Just a few days later, he was holding another Dharma and Heavenly Assembly.
The contrast is too great.
Many true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas also looked at each other in confusion.
When the Buddhas were thinking hard but without any results, Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly returned to the Great Leiyin Temple.
Tathagata Buddha looked happy and asked quickly:
"Honorable Guanyin, are there any gains from this trip?"
Looking at Tathagata Buddha with an expression of eager expectation, Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed inwardly and replied:
"I reported to the Buddha that I have heard some news.
Manjushri Bodhisattva said:
"I heard that the King of Tang suddenly summoned eminent monks to hold a Dharma conference. I wonder if this is true?"
Many true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas also looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Some people are confused and confused. Could it be that the reason why the Tang Dynasty king changed his attitude towards Buddhism was because of Guanjin Bodhisattva?
Guanyin Bodhisattva was a little surprised. The information about the Buddhas in Lingshan was quite good. How long had it been since Li Shimin summoned the monks?
I actually already knew it here.
However, this is not a good thing for Buddhism. These true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas should only know what is happening and not know why, otherwise they would not be so happy.
"It is true." Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded and said.
After receiving the affirmation, many true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas suddenly showed joy.
"Could it be said that King Tang became interested in Buddhism?"
"Amitabha, Avalokitesvara can guide King Tang, which will be of great merit to my Buddhist sect."
Guanyin Bodhisattva was suddenly speechless.
I haven’t done anything yet, so how come I have heavenly merits and virtues for Buddha’s words?
These guys are also very clever.
In fact, it is not the fault of these true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas being so excited, but the fact that Buddhism has been in such a bad situation since the failure of the Journey to the West.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is bad news from beginning to end, not a single good thing.
Not only was his luck greatly damaged, but his reputation was also completely ruined.
In Daleiyin Temple, everyone, apart from listening to the Tathagata preaching Buddhist scriptures all day long, spent almost the rest of the time thinking about how to escape.
Now that we have finally heard some good news, can we not be excited?
Under the influence of this atmosphere, Tathagata became a little excited and asked quickly:
"Venerable Guanyin, how did you convince King Tang?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva said helplessly:
"For the record, Lord Buddha, I have done nothing from the beginning to the end."
All the true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas suddenly looked confused. Tathagata was stunned for a moment and said:
"Nothing has been done? Then why did King Tang suddenly hold a Dharma conference?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva explains:
"A few days ago, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty obtained a Mahayana Buddhist sutra from somewhere. I suspect it may be related to this."
"Mahayana Sutra?"
Suddenly, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the whole Leiyin Temple was in an uproar.
"The Mahayana Buddhist scriptures are an undisclosed secret of Buddhism. How could they be in the hands of the King of Tang?"
"Venerable Guanyin, are you kidding me?"
Tathagata asked solemnly:
"Venerable Guanyin, are you sure that the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures are the scriptures hidden in my spiritual mountain?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded and said affirmatively:
"Yes, that Buddhist scripture is exactly the same as the real Mahayana Buddhist scripture."
"It's word for word, how is this possible?" "Then where did King Tang get it?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva cannot lie. Many true Buddhas and Bodhisattvas know this is true, but they are still a little unbelievable.
After all, this Mahayana Buddhist scripture was once an important part of the journey to the West and the key to the rise of Buddhism, so its contents are naturally extremely secretive.
