Western Buddhism is a sage sect, and it is destined to have great prosperity. The two Western sages worked hard to manage it. During the war between Shang Dynasty and Zhou Xing Dynasty, they transported three thousand mortal guests to increase their luck. Laozi turned into a Hu and gave birth to many children.
Precious Tathagata, Hualing Mountain, build Hinayana, Mahayana and Hinayana will be unified, and Buddhism will flourish.
During the Tang Dynasty, Tathagata Buddha said that Hinayana is a small Dharma, and those who practice Buddhism should end with Mahayana Buddhism. However, the world only knows Hinayana and does not know Mahayana. For the sake of Buddhism and the plan of the world, when someone spreads Mahayana Buddhism to the east, it will be widely spread.
Buddhism. After saying this, Venerable Avalokitesvara led the order and left. At that time, the Dragon King of Jinghe River violated the laws of heaven because of Yuan's defense of the city, and sought help from Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, Taizong did not deal with it properly, causing the death of the Dragon King, which attracted a lot of attention.
After a series of incidents, the Emperor of Tang Dynasty also left the underworld.
In order to spread Buddhism, the two sages of the West had already prepared a greeting. Therefore, after the Emperor Tang was resurrected, he followed the instructions of the underworld and opened a water and land Buddhist meeting to recruit virtuous monks from heaven and earth to preach Buddhism and save those who had died unjustly.
At this point, Chen Xuanzang appears!
Chen Xuanzang was the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of Tathagata Buddha. He was already in his tenth life at this time and was on his journey to the West. Before his birth, his parents suffered a great disaster and he entered Bailu Temple. Later, he avenged his parents and reunited them.
His fame also increased greatly. Although he was not very young, he was regarded as a generation of eminent monks. This time the Tang Emperor recruited virtuous eminent monks, and Chen Xuanzang became widely known among the world.
In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, on the third day of Jiaxu in the ninth month, on the good day of Guimao, Master Chen Xuanzang gathered 1,200 eminent monks to perform the Miao Sutra at Huasheng Temple in Chang'an City. The emperor
After the early morning court, the handsome civil and military officials rode on a phoenix chariot and a dragon chariot, left the Jinluan Hall, and went up to the temple to burn incense.
But it is said that the Venerable Guanyin of Nanhai, after receiving the Tathagata's decree, traveled eastward to Hezhou, Xiniu, and enlightened the destined monsters among them, who were later the four disciples of Tang Monk. Now, he has already arrived in Chang'an, waiting for the destined person. Today, he sees the Tang Dynasty
When the emperor was leaving, he followed behind him. When he saw Chen Xuanzang, he knew that he was a Buddhist monk, so he transformed into a man with scabies, wearing ragged robes, barefoot and bald. But he held a cassock and a tin staff in his hands, which were bright and shining.
When you look at it, you will see it as a treasure.
When a monk saw it, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Sister Monk, how much do you want to sell your cassock for?"
The Bodhisattva said: "The cassock is worth five thousand taels. The tin staff is worth two thousand taels."
The foolish monk laughed and said: "These two leper monks are madmen and fools! These two crude things were sold for seven thousand taels of silver? But unless you wear the body and live forever, you have to become a Buddha and become an ancestor. It is not worth so much."
!Take it, but you can’t sell it!”
The Bodhisattva did not even quarrel, and walked forward with Mu Cha. They had been flirting for a long time. When they arrived in front of the Donghua Gate, they bumped into Prime Minister Xiao Xing who was returning from the court. Everyone stamped on the street. The Bodhisattva blatantly did not avoid it and took it on the street.
Wearing a cassock, he walked towards the prime minister. The prime minister reined in his horse and looked at it. Seeing that the cassock was shining brightly, he asked his servants how much the seller of the cassock was asking for.
The Bodhisattva said: "The cassock costs five thousand taels, and the tin staff costs two thousand taels."
Xiao Xing said: "What are the benefits? Is it worth such a high price?"
The Bodhisattva said: "Cassayas have advantages and disadvantages; some require money and some do not."
Xiao Xing said: "What is good? What is bad?"
The Bodhisattva said: "With my cassock, you will not fall into destruction, hell, evil, evil, or den of tigers and wolves. This is a benefit. If you are a foolish monk who is greedy for sexual pleasure, a monk who does not fast and abstains from fasting, and slanders the scriptures,
It is difficult for ordinary people of the Buddha to see the face of my cassock. This is not good." He asked again: "Why do you want money and don't want money?" The Bodhisattva said: "You don't follow the Buddha's teachings, you don't respect the Three Jewels, and you buy cassocks, tin sticks, and concentration by force.
If you want to sell him seven thousand taels, this means asking for money; if you respect the Three Jewels, rejoice when you see good things, take refuge in my Buddha, and can afford it, I will give him the cassock and tin staff willingly and form a good relationship with me. This is not asking for money.
money."
When Xiao Xing heard this, he became more cheerful and knew that he was a good man. He dismounted his horse and met the Bodhisattva politely, saying: "Elder **, please forgive me for Xiao Xing's sin. I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, am very fond of kindness, and all the civil and military officials in the dynasty follow it.
.The Water and Land Conference will be built from now on, and this cassock is just the right one to be worn by Master Chen Xuanzang in Dadu. You and I will come to the court to see you."
In this way, the Bodhisattva met Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and sold his cassock. Emperor Taizong treated Xuanzang well and gave Xuanzang the cassock and tin staff on the same day. He put on the cassock and held the tin staff. He really looked like a fairy figure, which made people feel itchy.
Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the seventh day of the main meeting. Xuanzang made a formal appearance and invited the king of Tang Dynasty to come. Taizong went happily and led hundreds of officials and concubines. On the high platform, Xuanzang began to lecture on Buddhism. His wonderful voice made everyone extremely happy.
Yearn for it.
But when everyone was happy, the Bodhisattva incarnation came forward, slapped the throne and shouted loudly: "Monk, you can only talk about Hinayana Buddhism, but can you talk about Mahayana Buddhism?"
Xuanzang was stunned when he heard this, but he was happy in his heart. He jumped down and raised his hands to salute the Bodhisattva. He said: "Master, I'm sorry for my rudeness. I hope you can forgive me. I have also heard about Mahayana Buddhism, but what I have learned all my life is
Everything I saw and heard was Hinayana Buddhism. My master immediately taught me Mahayana Buddhism, and when it came to Mahayana, I asked my master to teach me and tell Xuanzang."
The Bodhisattva smiled slightly. He looked at the doubts on the faces of the people around him and explained: "The Hinayana Buddhism can't save the dead, it can only be earthly and light. The Mahayana Buddhism can save the souls of the dead and ascend to heaven, can save people in trouble and escape suffering, and can cultivate people.
The body of infinite life can do things without coming or going."
What he said made everyone who knew something about Buddhism yearn for it. Taizong was even more happy and asked: "Where is your Mahayana Buddhism?"
The Bodhisattva said: "I, the Tathagata, live in the Great Thunder Sound Temple in the Great Western Tianzhu Kingdom, where I can resolve hundreds of grievances and eliminate countless disasters."
"Do you remember?" Taizong asked again. The Bodhisattva nodded and said, "I remember." Taizong was even more happy and asked the Bodhisattva to come to the rescue. The Bodhisattva did not refuse and went up to the stage to explain Mahayana Buddhism. Everyone listened to it, and they were all happy and happy.
Smiling peacefully. When the Bodhisattva was preaching, he flew into the sky, stepped on the auspicious clouds, and revealed his original body. When everyone saw it, they all knelt down and worshiped, saying: "Save the suffering, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva."
Among the crowd, in the corner, there was a person who did not kneel down but just smiled and watched, not caring at all that Guanyin appeared. Needless to say, this person was Lin Heng!
For more than ten years, he has been following Tang Seng, watching him grow and learn. For him, eighteen years was just a short moment, and he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. The interesting part made him laugh.
.Today, when he knew that it was time to travel to the west, he felt a little excited, but also a little regretful. What was exciting was that he could see the countless monsters, but what was a pity was that the peaceful days were about to be broken, and there would be no leisure time in the future.
.
Seeing what was happening in front of him, Lin Heng did not step forward, did not stop him, did not interrupt, he just watched. After Guanyin left, Tang Monk took the mission to obtain scriptures, named Tang Sanzang. A few days later, Tang Monk set off with his two entourages.
When he met the Buddha, he worshiped. During this period, some monks asked him about the Dharma. Tang Monk did not hide what he had learned and talked about it one by one, which made all the monks happy.
When they were all the way out of the border, they were in a hurry and fell into a monster trap. They were taken away and their entourage was eaten. Tang Monk was so frightened that his face turned pale. Just when he was anxious and frightened, an old man came and killed him.
The old man with the rope on his body was none other than Taibai Jinxing. He came to help Tang Seng for no other reason than for merit. When he left with Tang Seng, Lin Heng, who had been following Tang Seng, appeared.
"Hehe..." With a grin on his face, Lin Heng jumped up, flew to Shuangcha Ridge, and shouted loudly: "You little monster, get out of here quickly."
"Who is making a noise here?" There was a loud shout, and three demons came out facing each other. It was Xiong Shanjun, Special Officer, and General Yin. Behind them were many little demons, which were the mountain spirits and ghosts here.
"Haha... how dare a mere little monster in the mountains be so arrogant?" Lin Heng roared loudly, and his whole body was as powerful as waves. Wave after wave, the pressure of the monsters became unstable, and those little monsters even puffed and puffed.
Kneeling on the ground, only the three demons could barely stand. However, their faces were pale, their whole bodies were trembling, and they were sweating coldly.
"Grandpa Monkey, Grandpa Monkey, we were wrong, we were wrong, please don't blame Grandpa Monkey." The three demons knew Lin Heng's interests, but they still dared to be arrogant. They knelt down one by one, kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Lin Heng sneered and said: "You monsters are killing people here indiscriminately, and everyone who passes by is eaten by you. Your sins are so serious, how can you just say a word to punish them?" Seeing their pitiful appearance, Lin Heng thought about his own life in this life.
He is also a demon, and he doesn't want to harm their lives, so he said: "That's all, that's all! You and I are always demons, but we can't harm your lives. But for your own good, I still need to punish you."
He cleared his mouth and blew out many golden circles. The golden circles grew larger and were placed on the three demons one by one. The three demons felt uncomfortable at first, but immediately lost their feeling. They were surprised and didn't know what to do.
Lin Heng explained: "This circle was made by me, and it is not very clever. But if you kill people, this circle will absorb the blood and become tighter and tighter until it strangles you."
"Grandpa, have mercy!" Upon hearing this, the three demons kowtowed and begged for mercy. Lin Heng chuckled and said, "You don't have to do this. Since I have set this trap for you, I have a way to get rid of it. All you need to do is do good deeds and repay the favor.
Heaven and earth, when the time comes, this circle will naturally recede."
After saying that, Lin Heng jumped up and disappeared in front of them. The three demons looked at each other, feeling like an illusion. If it weren't for the cold feeling on their necks, they really wouldn't believe it.
"Second Master, what should we do?" Xiong Shanjun seemed to be saying to himself, with a scared tone.
The special officers and General Yin smiled bitterly and said: "What else can we do, we can only do as we are told!"
After this incident, these three demons did good deeds from then on, rarely killed, and gained a good reputation. With the help of their merits, their cultivation speeded up, and within a few hundred years they broke free one by one from the golden circle set by Lin Heng. But their xinxing
But he has changed. He knows that Lin Heng is doing the best for the three of them, and the three of them don't blame him. They even specially erected a statue of him, kowtow to him every day, and respect him as their guru.
On the other side, after being rescued, Tang Monk was frightened and walked cautiously. When he saw a hero approaching, he thought he had met the demon king of the mountain again. He knelt down and shouted: "My lord, spare my life."
The person who came was not some mountain demon king, but Boqin, the Orion in the mountains. He explained his origins, and Tang Monk breathed a sigh of relief. But the next moment Boqin shouted loudly and called Tang Monk to stop. He trembled in fear,
Bo Qin ignored him and said, "Elder, be careful, a lynx is coming."
When Tang Monk heard this, he was even more frightened and did not dare to move. He turned around to see Boqin holding a steel fork and approaching him. His heart jumped into his throat and he was worried. After a while, a colorful tiger appeared. Boqin looked at it.
He immediately raised his fork to greet him, but the tiger turned around and retreated. This Boqin was a hunter in the mountains. He hunted in the mountains all year round and had an evil aura about him. The tiger was frightened and did not dare to greet him.
But when they got up, Tiger was not weak, but he was no match for Boqin either. The two fought for an hour, and Tiger was stabbed to the core by the steel fork in Boqin's hand, but he himself remained calm and breathless.
, instead he laughed and looked excited.
Tang Monk saw it and praised: "Taibao is the true mountain god!"
"What ability do I have that dares to praise the elders? It's because of the elders' blessing, otherwise I wouldn't have met this beast?" Bo Qin was delighted, holding a steel fork in one hand and dragging the tiger with the other, leading the way.
Tang Monk led the horse and walked behind. After climbing over the hillside in front, he saw a mountain villa and his face was filled with joy. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support.
