Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 455 What does it have to do with our consciousness-only monks?
For Buddhist believers in Tianzhu, there is no difference between "right and omniscient" and "Buddha".

Although the emperor of Tianzhu did not believe in Buddhism, the national conditions of Tianzhu were not easily influenced by manpower.It is even more impossible to clean up Buddhism in Tianzhu.

And the reason why he made friends with Master Sanzang back then was to use the influence of Master Sanzang to integrate Buddhism in Tianzhu.

He had already expected that after Master Sanzang successfully went to Lingshan to learn scriptures, his reputation would definitely rise to a higher level, but he never expected that such a title of the Three Ways of Buddhism would be spread in the Three Realms.

It's a pity that I am just a mortal king, and I don't know what kind of grand event Master Sanzang has experienced in Lingshan.

The emperor of Tianzhu suddenly felt that if he was the Master Sanzang, he would not be unable to believe in Buddhism.

But I didn't see the princess who hadn't lost her mind, didn't she also learn about this matter and completely stop thinking about it?
It's just that the expression of my girl looking at Master Sanzang has changed from admiration in the past to devout worship now.Dayou then became a monk and became a nun, following the trend of Master Sanzang.

Therefore, the emperor of Tianzhu was also quite troubled by this matter, and he couldn't think of any countermeasures for a while.

Fahai can feel the princess's emotional changes. In fact, during the journey of practice, such a state of mind is a very big taboo, and it will leave a very serious hidden danger.

"Amitabha."

Fahai chanted the Buddha's name, and didn't go to see the princess for the time being, but said to the emperor of Tianzhu, "Listen to the prince, your majesty will hold an unsheltered meeting soon, and want to use the poor monk as the abbot?"

"Yes." Emperor Tianzhu nodded and said, "I don't know what the Holy Buddha thinks?"

Fa Hai smiled and said: "This is a good deed, and the poor monk will naturally not refuse, but there is one thing that needs to be told to His Majesty first."

"Although the Holy Buddha speaks, I will not deny anything."

"The poor monk established a Buddhist sect, called the 'Consciousness-only sect'. I wonder if it is possible to establish a lineage in Tianzhu?"

The emperor of Tianzhu did not agree, but asked Master Sanzang: "I don't know if I can listen to the holy Buddhist teachings first?"

"good!"

There was nothing wrong with Fa Hai, and then he briefly explained some of the essence of the "Consciousness-Wei School" to the emperor of Tianzhu Kingdom.

The emperor of Tianzhu didn't like Buddhism, but he didn't disagree with pure Buddhism, so his own cultivation level of Buddhism was not low. It was also like this, when he heard "Consciousness-only teachings", he became more It's amazing.

Compared with those Buddhist titles that "confuse" the people, the emperor of Tianzhu Kingdom can be very sure that this "Zhiwei Sect" is absolutely different from other sects, especially in the purity of the study of Buddhism, which is beyond the reach of other sects .

Rather than studying Buddhism, it is better to study "all beings in the three realms" and to practice an alternative method.

Even the emperor of Tianzhu himself could hardly bear the temptation after hearing it, and wanted to leave the affairs of a country behind and concentrate on studying and practicing the "Consciousness-Only Teaching".

It is no wonder that the more profound the Dharma is, the more difficult it is to resist the "consciousness-only teaching". This is the fact.

Otherwise, why didn't the Taoist guards come to stop the Buddha when he granted the three honorable titles for Master Sanzang?

Because even the most stubborn old monks in Lingshan are very convinced of Master Sanzang's Dharma, and think that the Tathagata Buddha's promotion of the Three Paths titles to Master Sanzang is a matter of course, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Even, they are already planning to find a time to leave Lingshan and go to Datang to formally join the "Consciousness-only Sect".

Although Master Sanzang did not hesitate to hide the "Consciousness-Only Teaching Method", for them, of course, they hoped to consult with Master Sanzang himself.

This has led to some impatient people who have already gone to Chang'an, and some of them have already achieved positive results. Those who want to go further, although none of the Buddhas came, but Bodhisattvas and Arhats, as well as some monks and nuns, appeared as early as in the Tang Dynasty Auspicious clouds and holy light.

It's just that different from the implied arrogance they had in Xizhou in the past, this time when they came to Chang'an, they actually had a rather humble appearance.

In particular, they knew that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was the sworn brother of Master Sanzang, and they even took the initiative to visit, which made Li Shimin feel a little flattered for a while.

But after all, he is the hero of the dynasty, sitting in the palm of the country, the Heavenly Khan shared by all the nations, coupled with the majesty of the emperor himself, he quickly accepted and adapted to the status quo.

The two sides negotiated, and the scene was very harmonious.

From the mouths of the monks, Li Shimin learned what happened after the Jade Emperor returned to Lingshan, and the monks did not hide anything. After all, after Sanzang returned, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would know about these things sooner or later.

Besides, they came to pay homage to the "Consciousness-Only Sect", so what does the person lost by the Lingshan monks have to do with their Consciousness-Only Sect monks?
And they naturally knew that it was Master Sanzang who went down the mountain first, but they didn't come back to inquire again. They found out that Master Sanzang was invited by the king of Tianzhu to talk about Buddhism at the Unsheltered Conference of Tianzhu Kingdom. That "consciousness-only teaching".

Then they bid farewell to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty one after another, and first went to Tianzhu to listen to the "leader"'s lectures.

It can be said that these monks came and went in a hurry, which made the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty watch the excitement, and they were even more proud of the emergence of a Sanzang master in the Tang Dynasty.

The inner garden of the palace.

Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin who hadn't closed his mouth much in the past few days, and couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty hasn't laughed like this for a long time."

"Really?" Li Shimin's smile continued, "Didn't I smile when Yudi came back last month?"

Empress Changsun glanced at Li Shimin lightly, and said helplessly, "Your Majesty still has the heart to joke with his concubines, so don't you worry about your younger brother being left in Tianzhu by the emperor of that day?"

"Hahahaha——" Li Shimin laughed a few times after hearing this, "Although I have only met Yudi a few times, I know Yudi's character and character. Even staying in Lingshan to become a Buddha can't make his heart move. In the Tianzhu Kingdom, what kind of stature can you have to keep your younger brother?"

"Besides." Li Shimin said with a smile: "My Chinese is the root of Yudi."

It is hard for Empress Changsun to disagree with this statement.

"I heard that Chengqian worshiped Li Chunfeng as his teacher a few days ago?" Li Shimin had a lot of affairs these days, so he inevitably paid less attention to this deposed prince.

But Empress Changsun is different. Whether her Majesty's children are born by herself or not, she never dares to slack off. But even so, she still feels a little frustrated in her heart, because she finds that although her sons are very afraid of her, they are also afraid of her. I respect myself but it seems that I don't always teach well.

If it is said that Cheng Qian is the eldest son, plus he suffers from leg disease and has a deviation in his temperament, it is finally an excuse; but Qing Que's temperament of holding grudges, could it be that he was born with it?

Finally, he taught a pheasant slave, but he seemed too gentle. Maybe in the future, he would be the sage king and Ming Lord in the courtiers' mouth. He would be the emperor most courtiers like his elder brother liked.

"Although Chengqian has been with Master Sanzang for several days, according to his own words, Master Sanzang said that he has no destiny with Buddhism." Empress Changsun sighed lightly, and said: "But he seems to have given up his heart to become a monk, and Buddhism will not accept him." , I want to enter the Taoist school. The Taishi ordered Li Chunfeng to be my master of the Taoist school, so I went to pay homage to my teacher."

"Li Chunfeng is so courageous, and he really dares to accept him as an apprentice." Although Li Shimin's words were heavy, Empress Changsun could actually hear him, and he was not angry because of it.

"Forget it, let him go." Sure enough, after a few breaths, Li Shimin continued, "Let him follow Li Chunfeng to practice Taoism. But you can't take it lightly, this kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Empress Changsun said in her heart: After all, he is your son. Where can there be any fuel-efficient lamps?
When the ex-prince and the king of Wei were fighting for the position of heir, Empress Changsun even had the thought that she regretted having so many children, but told them to kill each other.

But who did you ask her, a mother, to help?

And if that day really comes, I can't blame others, after all, he is the father who sets an example for his sons.

In the kingdom of Tianzhu, to the west of the confluence of the Yanmuna River and the main stream of the Ganges River, the river has been alluvial to form a sandy beach with a radius of [-] to [-] miles. The kings of all ages have held almsgiving conferences here, so this place is also known as "Great Giving". Field", this open conference is held here.

This meeting was grand, and because of the name of Master Sanzang, more than 50 people gathered at one time.

Among them are eminent monks, recluses, Brahmins, and poor and lonely people. There are also kings of various sects and states under the kingdom of Tianzhu, all of whom have come here to participate in this uncovered meeting.

The conference was very successful and came to a successful conclusion on the fifth day of No.70.

Master Sanzang talked about all kinds of wonderful uses of Buddhism during the period of giving to the kings. Among them, the most purified place is the "ten kinds of freedom".

The so-called freedom means that the mind is free from the shackles of troubles, and the access is unimpeded.

The ten kinds of freedom are: freedom of longevity, freedom of mind, freedom of dignity, freedom of karma, freedom of birth, freedom of liberation, freedom of desire, freedom of divine power, freedom of dharma, and freedom of wisdom.

After the Uncovered Conference ended, Fa Hai would naturally bid farewell.

But the emperor of Tianzhu connected with the kings and wanted to use one hundred monasteries to keep holy Buddhas in Tianzhu to make offerings to them, but Fahai firmly refused.

Master Sanzang is leaving, how dare they force him to stay?
Disappointed in his heart, he still reluctantly sent Master Sanzang all the way out of the border of Tianzhu.

In fact, Master Sanzang originally promised to go to Jinping Mansion, Yuhua Prefecture, and Fengxian County to pay homage to the Buddha when he returned to the Buddhist scriptures. , but did not stop deliberately.

This way out of Fengxian County, the master and his disciples drove away on the cloud. When they passed Wuyin Mountain, the great sage in front said: "Master, the front is to destroy France."

"Master." The Great Sage scratched his head suddenly, and said to the master, "I remember that when we passed by to destroy France, Master, you seemed to have promised the lord of the country one thing."

"Yes." Fa Hai naturally did not forget this matter, "Back then, the extermination of France because of cholera in the country's temples, so he carried out the extermination of 'monks'. He was afraid that because of this, the Buddha would offend the Buddha. Therefore, the teacher once said, wait for it. Lingshan, I want to ask the Buddha for advice on his behalf, whether the Buddha will be angry because of this matter."

"But Master, did we all forget to ask?"

"No." Fa Hai shook his head and said, "As a teacher, I have not forgotten."

Ba Jie was taken aback for a while, and then asked curiously: "Master, I really forgot, old pig, but since you remember, Master, why didn't you ask the Buddha for advice?"

"Because of this matter, there is no need to ask the Buddha. Because no matter what he thinks in his heart, he has only one answer."

Wu Jing followed the train of thought of his master, and said, "The Buddha can only say, and he can only say 'no anger'. If he can't, he has to praise the king who destroyed France."

While everyone was talking, they saw that the clouds behind them suddenly gathered into a Buddha shadow, which immediately caused a commotion that wiped out the French subjects.

After receiving the report from the guards, the King of Extermination of France hurried out of the hall, looked up above the clouds, and saw that there were still a few figures in a trance before his auspicious clouds and Buddha shadows, and then became more and more clear.

"oops!"

The king who destroyed France screamed: "The Holy Buddha is here!"

"We pay homage to the Holy Buddha!"

Under the leadership of the king who destroyed France, a group of subjects bowed down to Sanzang one after another.

Fa Hai supported them with his mana in time, and said, "Don't kneel when you see a poor monk."

Since the decree of Lingshan spread to the world, the titles of Sanzang Masters in Western Continents have changed from "Three Tibetan Masters" to "Holy Buddha".

Regarding the title of "Holy Buddha", even though Sanzang has clearly stated that he does not accept it many times, it is of no use at all. Especially after the Unsheltered Conference is over, the name of "Holy Buddha" is even more unstoppable.

After all, even the monks in Lingshan called Master Sanzang like this, and they, mortals, just followed suit.

What's more, they thought that Master Tripitaka was well-deserved and fully worthy of the title of "Holy Buddha".

Even though he was called "Liberation Heaven", "Mahayana Heaven" and "Zheng Omniscience", Fahai's state of mind remained the same as before, and there were no twists and turns due to this.

For the monks in Lingshan, not to mention these three titles, even if they were any one of them, they would never be able to maintain their true heart like Master Sanzang.

The other way around, so they don't get it either.

Fa Hai lowered his head from the clouds, put his feet on the ground, folded his palms together and recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha."

The Lord of Destroying France looked respectful. When he saw Master Sanzang last time, Master Sanzang also said that he was an "ordinary monk", but when we met again today, Master Sanzang had become a Buddhist "right and omniscient".

It can be seen that Master Tripitaka's Buddhist teachings are profound——

Master fell to the ground, and several younger brothers also fell from the clouds, but the great sage was hanging in the air, and even took out the golden cudgel, and blocked it in front of the auspicious cloud and Buddha shadow.

"Holy Buddha, Great Sage, this is?"

Fa Hai pointed to the auspicious cloud Buddha shadow in the sky above and said: "This Buddha shadow must be the Tathagata Buddha displaying supernatural powers and appearing here."

Tathagata Buddha?

To say that destroying France is really worthy of destroying France, everyone just glanced at it for a while and stopped paying too much attention. After all, the real "Holy Buddha" is right in front of them, so there is no need to look far away.

What's more, when the middle school was in turmoil, it was Master Sanzang who helped the middle school to tide over the difficulties, not the Tathagata Buddha.
