Chapter 566 The Emperor's Plan

Chapter 565 The Emperor's Plan

"West Lingshan, there are complete Buddhist scriptures." Xuanzang clasped his hands together, looked at Master Hongda, and said with a slight smile, "The Bodhisattva said, as long as I can go to Lingshan, I can get the complete Buddhist scriptures."

"As long as you can obtain the complete Buddhist scriptures, you will be able to spread all the Buddhist teachings to my Eastern Land Great Tang, and save all living beings!"

"As long as you can reach Lingshan, the poor monk's wish will come true!"

Hongda heard the words, looked at Xuanzang, looked at his excited expression, but his heart was already half cold.

Afterwards, Hongda spoke softly, clasped his hands together, and said, "Amitabha, it's not that I want to pour cold water on Master Xuanzang, it's just that the journey to Lingshan... is really too difficult."

"Master Xuanzang, you are also a member of the Buddhist sect, and you probably have heard of what happened between my Buddhist disciples."

"All Buddhist disciples know that the western world is a pure land, so some monks who cannot practice Buddhism to a high level will choose to go to Lingshan in person."

"But the road to Lingshan is long, and there are countless difficulties and obstacles, including deep mountains and old forests, poisonous insects and beasts, and ghosts and ghosts."

"All the disciples who went to Lingshan, as long as they left my Eastern Land Great Tang, they would have no news, and I'm afraid they all died unexpectedly."

"Besides, Lingshan is too far away from our Eastern Land Great Tang. If Master Xuanzang really wants to go...it will be too difficult."

"Master Xuanzang, please think twice about this matter."

Master Hongda's words are very straightforward, but what he said is not without reason.

There are more than [-] monks in the Great Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Land, and there are not a few of them who choose to go directly to Lingshan and want to ascend to the Pure Land.

But for so many years, so many people have gone, and I have never heard of anyone successfully reaching Lingshan.

Therefore, Master Hongda's worries are completely understandable, and he is really worried about Xuanzang.

If Xuanzang really wants to go to Lingshan, I am afraid that there will be no news of this trip. Let alone going to Dalingshan to seek the scriptures, it will be a very difficult thing to get out of the land of the Tang Dynasty.

But although Master Hongda said so, Xuanzang still smiled slightly and said: "Master Hongda needless to say, the poor monk naturally knows the difficulties and obstacles involved."

"If there are no hardships and dangers, this journey has no meaning."

"Only the scriptures that have gone through hardships and vicissitudes and are exchanged for the scriptures are the scriptures."

"If there is no suffering, what's the use of taking this scripture?"

When Xuanzang spoke, his eyes flickered, exuding confidence and tenacity.

Master Hongda at the side saw him and knew that he couldn't persuade Xuanzang, so he could only sigh softly.

"Master Xuanzang, His Majesty has just summoned the master here and is about to hold a Dharma meeting. Now that the Dharma body of Guanyin Bodhisattva has manifested, and I have told Master Xuanzang about these things, when does Master Xuanzang plan to leave?"

Knowing that Xuanzang could not be persuaded, Master Hongda could only ask him when he left.

"Amitabha." Xuanzang clasped his hands together, smiled lightly, and said, "At this time, he is not in a hurry."

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's decree, when things should start, they will naturally start. The poor monk only needs to be prepared, and he can start at any time."

When Xuanzang said this, he always had a smile on his face, but Master Hongda who was on the side looked at it, but he just kept sighing in his heart.

Afterwards, Master Hongda said: "Two days later, there will be a dharma meeting in the palace. Please choose which mage is ready."

"If Master Xuanzang really wants to go to the west to seek the scriptures, without His Majesty's help, it may be difficult to do so."

Xuanzang smiled lightly when he heard the words, then nodded and stopped talking.

Just like that, Master Hongda and Xuanzang sat quietly in the tea house, looking at the beautiful scenery outside Hongyuan Temple, and no longer spoke any words to each other.

……

Late at night, Chang'an, the imperial palace.

In the dormitory, Tang Emperor Li Shimin had just finished his day's work and was just lying on the couch, ready to sleep peacefully.

He was always thinking about what Master Xuanzang had said to him, and thinking about the Dharma conference to be held two days later, Tang Emperor Li Shimin couldn't help feeling a wave of fluctuation in his heart.

Regarding these matters, he has already thought of more than one way.

It's just that none of the methods he thought of was willing to ask him to complete them.

It is true that Chang'an is rich and prosperous, and it is true that the entire Tang Dynasty is rich, but this does not mean that extravagance can become popular.

Even in such a wealthy lobby, there are still frozen bones in the rich wine and meat stink road.

Tang Huang Li Shimin wanted to completely change this situation, he had to mobilize the interests of some people.

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty admired Buddhism, and his fundamental intention was to let most people focus on Buddhism, and he could discover many problems that had not been exposed before through Buddhism.

After a long period of observation, Tang Huang Li Shimin already knew it well.

This is all the strategy of the emperor. Tang Emperor Li Shimin respected Buddhism and admired Buddhism, but it did not mean that he was a Buddhist believer.

Everything in the Great Tang is just a tool in the hands of the Emperor, a tool for him to rule the entire empire better.

Including Buddhism, including all monks in Buddhism.

Before, Tang Huang Li Shimin wanted to find a spokesperson in Buddhism to help him accomplish this.

He had selected two people before, one was Master Hongzhi of Hongyuan Temple, and the other was the host of Little Foshan Temple.

But after meeting these two, although they are both eminent monks, they can also see Tang Huang Li Shimin's thoughts, but they don't seem to help Tang Huang Li Shimin complete this matter.

Therefore, this matter can only be put aside for the time being.

Until Xuanzang entered Beijing, until Xuanzang entered Hongyuan Temple and became famous in Chang'an, the plan in Tang Emperor Li Shimin's heart was put on the agenda again.

The meeting with Xuanzang made Tang Emperor Li Shimin feel happy.

He never thought that a monk could see things so clearly.

In fact, he and Xuanzang didn't say any Taibai words, everything was in metaphor.

But Tang Emperor Li Shimin could clearly understand that what Xuanzang wanted to do was what he wanted to do.

So far, Xuanzang has become the best spokesperson in Tang Emperor Li Shimin's heart. Tang Emperor Li Shimin hopes that Xuanzang can become the leader of Buddhism in the entire Tang Dynasty and help him use Buddhism to stop the extravagance and corruption of the entire court.

From this, there will be the next Fa conference, and then there will be a series of plans.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin lay on the couch, sorting out the plan again in his mind, and in the process of sorting out, he fell into a deep sleep.

Entering the dreamland, Emperor Tang Li Shimin suddenly felt a white light appear in front of him.

The white light was hazy, suddenly far and near.

After a moment, Emperor Tang Li Shimin felt that he was in a pure white space, and everything around him was shrouded in this pure white space.

Then, a multicolored glow descended from the sky.

Tang Huang Li Shimin turned his head to look, but saw a lotus platform appearing in front of him.
