Chapter 3 Buddhist Friends

Zhao Ran saw that the name looked familiar and asked the person upstairs: "Where does this come from?"

Rong Niang said: "Tang Yaozu from Xianling Palace sent someone to bring it to you. You can see it yourself."

Xianling Palace belongs to Sanqing Pavilion. After hearing what Rong Niang said, Zhao Ran seemed to have some idea and quickly looked through it. It was as expected.

This "Jinbo Club" was produced by the Jinbo Club founded by Zhao Ran in Xingqing Prefecture in Xixia. Looking at the date of the book in my hand, it was published three days ago, the first issue, the first issue!

Xixia has been tirelessly learning from the Ming Dynasty in terms of culture. After Zhao Ran founded "Junshan Notes", periodicals from the Ming Dynasty sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, which also triggered Xixia to follow suit.

Six years ago, Jinbo Club followed the trend and published a periodical called "Yinxia", which became very popular.

But the good times did not last long. Instigated by the brothers Li Zhizhong and Li Liangfu, the country's leader Li Qianshun vigorously banned the introduction of periodicals in the Ming Dynasty. The imperial censor Zhongcheng Fei Tingqingxia sided with the imperialists this time. Journals such as "Yinxia" criticized the Despite the protection of the Li brothers, it was also closed down.

The Imperial Party blocked the publications of the Hou Party, and the Hou Party naturally could not allow the Imperial Party to publish publications. Due to the competition between the two factions, all similar publications were banned. So far, for six years, Xixia had no A journal is printed and distributed.

As a result, there will naturally be complaints.

Since last year, Xingqing temples such as Jietai Temple, Gaotai Temple, and Tianmatai Temple have been actively coordinating. With their efforts or pressure, the Imperial Party and the Later Party finally reached a compromise in March this year and restored the journal. Publishing, of course, Ming publications is still prohibited.

Xixia banned Ming publications, and Ming Dynasty would not allow Xixia publications to flow in. The book in Zhao Ran's hand was sent back by Bai Geng, who was still in Xingqing and did not miss Shu. It was only circulated in Sanqing Pavilion.

The content of "Jin Bo Hui" is obviously imitated from "Junshan Notes". The current commentaries, information, advertisements, official and unofficial history, legendary commentaries and other sections are all similar, but the names are changed.

Since joining Yingtian, Zhao Ran has not been involved in Xixia Buddhist affairs. His dealings with Mingjue and other monks of Tianlongyuan, and his contact with Bai Geng, the first subordinate of Junshan Guard, have been handed over to Dongfang Li. Regarding the changes in Xixia, We don’t know much about the current situation of Buddhism, it’s almost a blank.

Therefore, Zhao Ran read through it with great interest, and all the memories of his two trips to Xixia came to mind again, such as the streets and alleys of Xingqing, the willows of Jinbo Lake, the red walls of the palace, the palace of Tianlongyuan, the cows and sheep. Groups of pastures, temples everywhere...scenes come one after another. Counting the time, more than ten years have passed, which is really sad.

"Jin Bo Hui" also contains congratulatory messages for the monks' breakthrough, and because it took a long time and accumulated more, the list is longer.

Buddhism pays attention to the equality of all living beings. It is not sorted from the highest realm downwards like the Taoist journals, but is arranged in the order of the time of breaking through the realm, starting from the first month of this year. The first one is the monk who broke through the realm on the second day of the first lunar month of this year. , Dharma name Yuanhui.

Not only did Zhao Ran not recognize this monk named Yuanhui, but Zhao Ran did not recognize any of the thirteen monks who broke through in the first month. After reading the list of the first month, Zhao Ran had already figured out the congratulatory rules of "Jinbo Hui" , only those who have entered the Bhikkhu realm or above will be listed above. This level is equivalent to the Taoist Golden Elixir cultivation level, which is the so-called true "stepping into the world of cultivation".

Moreover, as for the "wisdom" realms that monks have achieved breakthroughs in each realm, there are not too many realms of congratulations, so it is really difficult to verify.

But on the February list, he saw an acquaintance, and he was ranked first.

On the first day of the second lunar month, when I became enlightened in Qukong Temple, I broke through the realm and opened the realm of tongue consciousness. I can be called an Arhat.

Mingjue was the deacon of Tianlongyuan Jinzhen Hall whom Zhao Ran met when he first came to Xixia to open the Jinbo Club. He broke through twice in front of him, once to enter the monk realm, and the second time to negotiate with Zhao Ran to hand over Xuanci

When he was in the rainbow body, he spent 10,000 taels of silver to buy a calligraphy calligraphy set by Zhao Ran, thus breaking through the first level of insight, fear, and wisdom in the bhikkhu realm.

Later, Mingjue led a Buddhist "civilian exchange group" to Dajun Mountain to visit the old site of Sutra Temple, so he withdrew from Tianlongyuan Golden Needle Hall.

In total, I haven't contacted him for eight years. Unexpectedly, this guy actually realized the two wisdoms behind the Bhikkhu realm, and even entered the Arahant realm this year.

The sign of entering the Arahant realm is to cultivate the Golden Body of Arahant. The level of cultivation is roughly between that of Taoist masters and refiners. It is stronger than masters and slightly weaker than refiners. It belongs to the high-level threshold of Buddhist monks.

Mingjue has become an Arhat, but I don’t know what state the other former monk Xingzhen of the Golden Needle Hall is in now? It’s just that Xingzhen, a monk in the west hall of the Golden Needle Hall of Tianlongyuan, is a core member. His cultivation level cannot be verified.

, and public reporting is not allowed.

Further down, Zhao Ran saw another acquaintance on the list of people who broke through in May. When he saw the name and the congratulatory message behind it, he thought he was dazzled and rubbed his eyes before confirming.

Jueyuan, the abbot of Daleiguang Temple, opened the realm of tongue consciousness and entered the Arahant realm!

Zhao Ran was immediately stunned.

I still remember that when I first met Jue Yuan in the Great Swamp, all the monks and monks were like ants in the world of cultivation. They were like scum. Zhao Ran could not even be considered a Taoist, and Jue Yuan had just entered the cultivation world and had just opened his eyes.

The monk realm, which is at the lowest level among Buddhist monks, is equivalent to a Taoist priest in the Taoist sect.

Later, Zhao Ran held a ceremony at the Junshan Temple. When he was in the Taoist realm, Jue Yuan's cultivation level was not much better than his.

Later, Zhao Ran went to Xixia as an envoy. At that time, he was a Huang Guan cultivator, and Jue Yuan was just a novice monk who had opened his ears and was similar to Zhao Ran.

Zhao Ran thought at the time that they were all low-level cultivation, so the difference in speed would not be obvious. Only after entering the golden elixir would there be an obvious difference in the progress of cultivation.

He is now at the master training level. He originally thought that it would be good for Jue Yuan to become a monk, but who would have thought that after ten years of separation, Jue Yuan would not be that far behind him!

Such a result made Zhao Ran feel uncomfortable.

But it's not comfortable to be comfortable. His cultivation has been repaid, so it can't be fake. Zhao Ran was particularly curious about this, and immediately flew to Tang Yaozu: "Tang Yuanshi, I have read "Yin Xia",

Thank you very much, Ambassador Tangyuan."

Tang Yaozu replied: "You are still from Sanqing Pavilion and the envoy of Junshan Guard. Isn't it right to show you these things? How can I say thank you?"

Zhao Ran admitted his mistake: "It is indeed my fault. I have paid less attention to Xixia affairs in recent years. By the way, can someone please pay attention to Sanqing Pavilion and try to find out his experience. Jue Yuan, the abbot of Daleiguang Temple, is 20 years old.

Isn’t it too fast to go from practicing spiritual practice to becoming an Arahant in just a few years?”

Tang Yaozu immediately asked: "Are you sure that Jue Yuan just entered the spiritual practice twenty years ago?"

Zhao Ran said: "I am very sure that if this Jue Yuan is the same Jue Yuan I know, and he is also the abbot of the Great Lei Guang Temple, there should be no mistake. Then I can tell the envoy of Tangyuan that I had a fight with him back then, so...

In the Everglades.”

Tang Yaozu replied: "It does require attention. I will inform Xitang Dongfang Li and focus on searching for his information."

After talking about Jue Yuan, Zhao Ran continued to look down, and then he finally saw a line of news:

Master Xuansheng, the abbot of Taici Temple, sailed to the other shore on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. With all six consciousnesses fully opened, he attained the throne of Buddha. The whole world congratulates Xuansheng Buddha and wishes him endless blessings!

Zhao Ran was in a trance while holding "Yinxia". Xixia once again completed the Five Buddhas. Perhaps, this is what Sanqing Pavilion really wanted to spread in this publication.
