In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, it was the third day of September, a good day in Guimao.
Chang'an, Huasheng Temple.
I saw only the fluttering shadows of banners, the flowing light of the precious canopy, the Buddha and Bodhisattvas on the high platform, dignified and compassionate, and the arhat Vajra with his eyes wide open in anger.
There were clusters of flowers, curls of sandalwood, jade plates piled up beside the altar, and monks chanting sutras on the cattails.
At Tang San's funeral, 1,200 monks gathered together to hold water and land Dharma meetings, where they lectured on various wonderful sutras, their tongues sparkled like lotus flowers, and Sanskrit sounds washed their hearts.
After Emperor Taizong retired from the early court, he led the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty out of the Jinluan Palace and went to Huasheng Temple to offer incense and worship the Buddha.
When we arrived at Huasheng Temple, we saw people running happily, believers being pious, and it was a lively scene.
After getting off the jade chariot, he stopped his musical instruments and walked into the venue to worship the Buddha and burn incense. The ministers then burned incense and prayed. Tang Sanfu led the monks to come forward to see the ceremony.
After reading the prayer list, the King of Tang Dynasty was filled with joy and said: "All the masters' requests have been fulfilled. Don't neglect the Buddhist services. I will give you a big reward when the conference is over!"
All the monks exclaimed in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The king of the Tang Dynasty took Tang San's funeral for a tour and then left. He came back to worship the Buddha after the main meeting on the seventh day.
Every morning, Tang Sanfu led the recitation of a sutra and performed a Buddhist ritual before returning to Tangquan Palace and waiting for the main meeting to begin.
Wuwukai, who had been living in Chang'an City for a long time, couldn't wait any longer and asked Guanyin: "Master, Xuanzang has already started the water and land ceremony. Is it time for us to go out?"
"Good! Today we will find a suitable person and deliver the cassock and tin staff to Xuanzang's hands."
Guanyin led Wuwukai, covered her appearance, took the cassock and tin staff and went to the street, heading straight to Donghua Gate.
Along the way, I met religious men and women who saw the extraordinary cassocks and tin staffs. They all came forward to inquire about the price, but they were all chased away by 50-50 offers.
"Get up, get up! Are you ordinary people worthy of such a treasure?"
There are Yuan people saved by Buddha. How can you be lonely without Yuan Bao?
"Huh? How can you talk like a doll!"
"What, you're not convinced?"
That year I put my hands in my pockets and didn’t know who my opponent was!
Along the way east, the 55-inch wood was a little swollen, and the big iron stick behind it frightened everyone and kept them away.
At this time, Prime Minister Xiao Yu happened to go home from court. Seeing this, he snorted angrily, "Where can a monk be so bold at the foot of the imperial city?"
"Is there any more royal law?"
"Are there still laws?"
Suddenly his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the two treasures in Guanyin's hands.
Your Majesty has been sincerely worshiping the Buddha recently. If he sees these two treasures, he will definitely be elated. He has done a great job!
"This master has invited me. I wonder how much these two treasures cost. How about selling them to me?"
Guanyin said: "This treasure of mine can be sold or given away! If you want it, it will be one hundred thousand taels of gold."
Damn it, why don’t you go to heaven?
Xiao Yu was startled by the lion's open mouth and said angrily: "Then what kind of person can be given away?"
"Of course it's the talented person, for example, His Majesty the King of Tang, who is the emperor!"
When Xiao Yu heard this, he turned from anger to joy, hey, you should have told me earlier!
"My Majesty the Tang Dynasty is very kind-hearted. He is holding a water and land ceremony recently. This cassock happens to be worn by Master Xuanzang."
"In that case, I will lead you two to see His Majesty!"
Guanyin and Wuwukai followed, and Wuwukai asked in a low voice: "Master, are these two treasures really going to be given to King Tang for free?"
"Disciple, you are wrong. Some things are much more wonderful than gold and silver. You will understand in the future!"
Entering the Donghua Gate again, Xiao Yu asked Taizong, and Taizong announced that several people had entered the hall. They saw that the two monks were not polite, but they were not annoyed. They were immediately attracted by the two treasures.
"Two mages, I don't know how much money this treasure is worth. Can you sell it to me?"
"I have a royal disciple named Xuanzang, who is proficient in Buddhist doctrine and devoted to the Buddha. He recently held a water and land ceremony for me. These two treasures are suitable for my royal disciple to wear during the ceremony."
"I heard that Your Majesty is very kind to the Buddha, and that Xuanzang is a man of profound virtues. I should not take any money from you, but offer it with both hands."
"Huh? How embarrassing!"
"Mage? Mage..."
Guanyin left behind two treasures and took the confused Wuwu away without even replying.
On the way back, Wuwukai asked, not knowing why, "Master, since you want to form a good relationship, you have to leave your name and show your face so that King Tang will remember you, right?"
"Why did you leave in such a hurry without leaving any words?"
Guanyin smiles, the emotions are foreshadowed, the atmosphere is progressive, and the reverse slap in the face is the mainstream routine in today's society.
Gifts should be given without leaving any trace. In a few days, when I appear in front of the people at the Dharma Assembly, Prince Tang’s surprise will be doubled.
Do you know how to cut?
Finally, when the main meeting began, the king of Tang led hundreds of civil and military officials and family members to offer incense and worship to the Buddha.
On this day, believers from the Tang Dynasty and people from Chang'an City gathered outside Huasheng Temple. Regardless of their age, they all sat cross-legged to listen to the Dharma.
Today, Tang San was buried wearing a white robe, a brocade cassock, and a nine-ring tin staff in his hand. The jade trees were blowing in the wind and the clouds were rising.
What's more, the jade-like face is so polished and the body exudes a gentle and elegant temperament. Thousands of women who came to worship the Buddha went crazy.
"Master Xuanzang, I want to marry you!"
"Brother Sanyan, the slave family likes you so much!"
For a moment, the fragrant handkerchiefs were flying everywhere and the petals were all over the sky. He didn't even care to look at his old father. His face was already as black as the bottom of a pot.
Wu Meiniang, who was also in the crowd, had stars in her eyes. My man is the most beautiful man in the world!
The concubines in Queen Tang's palace secretly cursed, Wu Mei, that coquettish fox, knew how to charm people. She was lucky enough to be given to Master Xuanzang, so why couldn't it be herself that day?
Taizong smiled and said to the ministers: "My imperial brother is very tall and good-looking!"
Even Guanyin nodded secretly, she was worthy of being a Buddhist scripture seeker, and there was no need for publicity at all for her appearance!
Wuwukai is quite dissatisfied with following his master and mixing in the crowd. What's the use of being handsome?
Can we have a 50-50 fight with Monkey Sun and the Four Saints of the North Pole?
I saw every house on the street decorated with colorful decorations, every household celebrating, and the Dharma assembly was even more extravagant.
People get along harmoniously and friendly, and everyone smiles happily from the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing the prosperous and bustling scene of the Tang Dynasty for the first time, I was puzzled and tugged on the sleeves of Guanyin's robe.
"Master, last time I Buddha said that Dongsheng Shenzhou respects the heaven and the earth, and the heart is refreshed and calm; although Luzhou in the north is good at killing, it is necessary to make ends meet; Niuhezhou in the west nourishes the energy and potential, and everyone can live a long life."
"But this Nanzhan continent is greedy for sexual immorality and enjoys misfortune, and is full of disputes. It is a sea of evil in the world and a place of murderous talk."
"But along the way, why are there many monsters and monsters in Xiniuhezhou, and the people are in dire straits? But in Nanfanbuzhou, the Tang Dynasty in the east live and work in peace and contentment, and the people are harmonious?"
"this……"
Guanyin was speechless.
Young man, you are very discerning and very kind!
This is a good question, don’t ask it next time!
Tang San was buried on a high platform, reciting the "Sutra of Crossing the Dead" for a while, and then lectured on "Tianbaolu" for a while. His words were so loud that the monks below him scratched their heads and scratched their heads, and couldn't help but be happy.
Ordinary people heard it half-understood, but they were also confused and happy in their hearts.
At this time, I heard a man patting the table and asking loudly: "Monk, you can only talk about Hinayana teachings, but can you talk about Mahayana teachings?"
Coming, coming, she is finally here!
