After Master Yin Guang took the lead in chanting for an hour, the chanting was suspended, and the chief preacher of Xuan Ye Hall took the stage to preach the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra".
"The Lotus Sutra" is the Dharma taught by the Buddha. It clearly shows the truth that everyone can become a Buddha regardless of wealth or poverty. It is called "Lotus Sutra" to become a Buddha, "Huayan" to achieve wealth, and "Surangama" to gain wisdom.
This is one of the three great sutras of Buddhism. Knowing yourself and the enemy will help you fight a hundred battles without danger. Zhao Ran rarely had this opportunity, so he took advantage of it and sat down to listen to the sutra.
"...O good sons, as in the past there were countless, boundless and inconceivable numbers. At that time there was a Buddha named Sun Moon Lamp Bright Tathagata... There was a master who preached the true Dharma: good in the beginning, good in the middle, good in the end. Its meaning is profound, and its words are clever.
Pure and mixed, with the appearance of pure and good deeds. For those who seek to hear the voice, he preaches the Four Noble Truths to save life, old age, illness and death..."
"Believers, when we practice the Dharma, we should be like Master Xuanci. We should feed the hungry people, give medicine and take care of the sick people, and propagate the Dharma to the ignorant and ignorant people and places to bring blessings to the public.
, to free people who are drowning in the sea of suffering of life and death, that is the bodhisattva heart of compassion, joy and equanimity that must be possessed to become a Buddha..."
While preaching and preaching, I found Yinguang and said: "Master, just now when I was exploring the sacred objects in the mandala, I saw the appearance of Master Padmasambhava in the sacred objects, combining wisdom, compassion, and overcoming evil as one.
With the wish of supreme merit and virtue, there is no doubt that the mandala should be passed on to the Nine Heart Sons. After the Dharma Conference, the master was also asked to come forward to persuade Zen Master Xu Yongming, so that Jambudvipa Temple agreed to exchange the Xuanyuan Ten Sons Diagram..."
Yin Guang shook his head slightly and said, "Where can I wait until I get the big Dharma conference?"
"Master, what do you mean?"
"Just now you were exploring the mandala, and I saw that the Living Buddha Sangcuo had some thoughts..."
Immediately after seeing the opportunity, he glanced at the Living Buddha Sangcuo out of the corner of his eye. When he saw that the Living Buddha was looking at Zhao Ran, who was sitting and listening to the sutra, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Master Padmasambhava is the founder of Tibetan Buddhism. Strictly speaking, Tubo Buddhism is even more qualified to collect this mandala. If Sangtso Living Buddha really wants to wake up and compete with Xixia Buddhism for this treasure, Tianlongyuan is really a little unreasonable and guilty.
Just when he was frightened, he heard Yin Guang say: "Don't panic, I have informed Junior Brother Xu Yongming and he agrees. You can go see the Ming Envoy tonight and exchange with him before discussing the rest."
After receiving Yin Guang's clear instructions, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly summoned his disciple Wen Da: "You should go back quickly and organize people to search through it to see if there are any Buddha treasures in my Bodhi Hall that Jambudvipa Temple can accept."
of."
Wen Da said happily: "Did Jambudvipa Temple agree to the exchange?"
Liao Yuan relaxed his brows and said with a smile: "That's right, let's go now, hurry up and hurry up, otherwise something may happen if it's too late."
Wenda quickly turned around and left the Mahavira Hall, rushing towards the Bodhi Hall in the northeast corner of Tianlongyuan.
Tianlong Courtyard is huge. Wen Da walked through countless courtyards before returning to the Bodhi Hall. He pushed open the monk duty room and saw that there was only one deacon monk in the huge room sitting with his head buried in front of the desk, so he greeted: "Junior Brother Yang Fan,
Why are you the only one here?"
Monk Yang Fan raised his head from the pile of books on the desk, rubbed his face with his hands, and said with a smile: "I am reading the Taoist book "The True Immortal Body and Tao Tongjian of All Times", and I am fascinated by it, haha... Aren't everyone else the same?
Have you gone to the Mahavira Hall to attend the Nirvana Dharma Ceremony?"
Wen Da hurried to the bookcase, ran his fingers over the rows of books in the cabinet, and then pulled out one. While reading, he asked casually: "Why don't you go?"
Yang Fan said: "It's still interesting to read. This Taoist general guide is very impressive... By the way, why is senior brother back?"
Wen Da said: "You also help me. Let's quickly check the treasures of Jambudi Temple from past dynasties to see which ones are in the Bodhi Hall."
"What? Do you want to return their treasure?"
"I want to exchange the Dao Sect's "Ten Sons of Xuanyuan" with them."
""Ten Sons of Xuanyuan"? That's great. Junior brother, I have always wanted to see it but couldn't get it. Now I have a chance!"
So, the two Bodhi Hall monks began to search in the books.
In the main hall, he summoned Mingjue again due to fate: "You will lead the way tonight and accompany me to Guanyi to meet with the Ming envoy. Zen Master Xu Yongming has already agreed to the "Ten Sons of Xuanyuan" matter."
Mingjue clapped his hands and praised: "This is just right!" After thinking about it, he added: "In my opinion, it's better for the leader not to show up."
"Oh? Why is this?"
"In my opinion, Director Zhao is a very powerful character. To be honest, I am a little scared when dealing with Director Zhao these days..." Then he expressed his feelings about Zhao Ran, and then said: "If the leader comes forward,
, Taoist Zhao must know the value of this thing, I’m afraid it’s not a problem with the "Ten Sons of Xuanyuan"..."
He smiled and said, "Then you rush there every day to curry favor with me."
Mingjue scratched his head: "This is a famous mountain guest. The young monk has this opportunity to discuss the art of calligraphy and painting with the mountain guest. This is a great blessing. Besides, when we don't talk about the pros and cons, getting along with Taoist Zhao is quite like
With the feeling of spring breeze, his words are always thought-provoking, making the young monk's Taoism and Dharma more harmonious and mutually compatible..."
Liaoyuan didn't care whether he and Zhao Ran got along with each other. He only cared about how to exchange the Jiuxinzi Dharma Mandala back as soon as possible, so he said: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Mingjue didn't know what he should do. He only knew that if he accompanied Yuan to the door and found out on the spot, he would definitely be tricked by Daochang Zhao.
Speaking of Zhao Ran, Mingjue felt "both love and hate". When he wasn't talking about business, he wanted to hang out with him from morning to night, write, talk about Buddhism and Taoism, and chat about the next summer. But when it came to business,
, the other party is not that mountain guest...
While he was thinking hard, he saw his best friend in Golden Needle Hall, Monk Xingzhen, coming up from behind and reported to Yuan: "First seat, Master Shenxiu asked you if you are free. We have urgent matters to discuss now, and I would like to ask you to move.
Just walk over and you'll find it in the back hall of my Golden Needle Hall."
Shenxiu is the head of the Golden Needle Hall, and her status in Tianlongyuan is equal to that of Yuan. However, because she is young, she is only over seventy years old, and has only been in charge of the Golden Needle Hall for more than ten years. Therefore, her qualifications are far less than Yuan Shen's. Although the person in charge is
Jinzhen Hall had more serious affairs, but when Jean Xingzhen came to invite him, his tone was very respectful.
Liao Yuan asked: "What is it?"
Xingzhendao: "The Buddhist monks from the Kingdom of Shanqi have come to ask about the matters in the far west. Let's see if there are any recorded scriptures or magical instruments in the Bodhi Hall that are related to this."
After realizing the fate, he asked again: "Who is here?"
Xingzhen replied: "Master Shenxiu and the elders of Golden Needle Hall."
Li Yuan nodded, turned around, left the Main Hall, and headed towards the Golden Needle Hall. After he left, Xingzhen smiled and asked Mingjue: "Junior brother was ordered to contact Taoist Zhao. How have you been these days? How many authentic paintings have you obtained?"
Mingjue said: "Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me that day. Junior brother, I got to see the real person. I actually got a piece of calligraphy, and I shared the reward with senior brother."
