Chapter 360 Tripitaka Wants To Learn From The Scriptures
Hearing the words, the old monk clasped his palms together, and said calmly: "The benefactor, please go first!" Xiao Xing was overjoyed when he heard the words, so he didn't ride a horse at the moment, and walked out of Donghua Street together with the old monk, and went straight to Tai Chi Hall.
In the Tai Chi Hall, seeing Xiao Xing who brought two monks, Li Shimin couldn't help but looked puzzled, and said slowly: "Why did the Prime Minister leave and come back again? Who is standing in the audience?
Hearing this, Xiao Xing quickly explained: "The old minister came out of the Donghua Gate, and came across these two monks selling cassocks and tin sticks. The Chensi Waterway Conference is coming soon. Master Xuanzang can wear these clothes, so he brought the monks to see my emperor."
Li Shimin had just returned from his soul tour of Hell, and was about to prepare for the waterway meeting. Hearing this, he couldn't help feeling overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask Master, how much are these cassocks and tin staffs worth?"
Hearing the words, the old monk did not salute, and slowly said: "The cassock is five thousand taels, and the tin staff is two thousand taels." At the moment he was puzzled and said: "I don't know what is the benefit of this cassock, but it costs seven thousand taels of eye tattoos!"
The old monk smiled and said, "This cassock, old monk, has advantages and disadvantages; some places require money, and some places don't.
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin hurriedly said: "Dare to ask Master, what is good? What is not good?"
Hearing the words, the old monk said slowly: "My cassock is threaded by ice silkworms spinning for thousands of years in the Daxue Mountain, and then woven by the Heavenly Palace fairy. There are Ye Ming pearls on the four corners; there is an emerald in the top;
On it are Ruyi beads, Mani beads, Pichen beads, and Dingfeng beads; there are also red agate, purple coral, Ye Ming beads, and relics..."
"If the Taoist monk wears my cassock and does not fall into perdition or hell, that is good:
If foolish monks who are greedy for lust and joy in misfortunes, monks who do not fast or fast, or ordinary people who slander scriptures and Buddhas wear this cassock, they will surely fall into Avici Hell forever. This is not good. "
Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask Master. What's the benefit of this nine-ring tin staff?"
The old monk twisted his beard and smiled when he heard the words: "My tin staff is made of nine rings made of copper inlaid with iron, and the nine-section fairy vines will stay forever.
At the beginning, I am tired of looking at the green and skinny, and I will return with white clouds when I go down the mountain. The five patriarchs of Mohe traveled to Tianque, and Luo Bu found his mother and broke through Diguan. Don't be stained with filth, and I am happy to accompany the monk on Yushan. "
Li Shimin was even more delighted when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask Master, why do you want money, why don't you want money?"
The old monk heard the words and said slowly: "I don't follow the Buddhadharma. I don't respect the Three Jewels. If I forcefully buy cassocks and tin rods, I must sell him for seven thousand taels. This is asking for money;
Respecting the Three Jewels and sincerely taking refuge, the old monk was willing to give him the cassock and tin staff for free, which means that he does not need money. "
Li Shimin couldn't bear it any longer when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Master! I'm telling you the truth. I will hold a waterway conference in the near future, and I want to give you these two treasures. Master Xuanzang from Jinshan Temple will use them. Seven I bought the cassock and tin staff for a thousand taels of silver."
Hearing the words, the old monk clasped his palms together to take refuge, said the Buddha's name, and then said calmly: "Master Xuanzang's name, I have heard a lot about it, this cassock and tin staff. The poor monk is willing to give it to him."
After saying that, he turned around and left. When Taizong and Xiao Xing rushed to the outside of the hall, there were still two monks.
Seven days later, it was the time of the waterway meeting. Li Shimin led a group of civil and military officials to go straight to Huasheng Temple, and all the monks rushed out of the mountain gate to meet them. Inside is the Grand Master Xuanzang who came from Jinshan Temple
Li Shimin personally received the monks in the temple, gave the cassock and the tin staff to Master Xuanzang in public, and ordered him to put on the cassock and have a look.
Master Xuanzang didn't shirk, he gently shook off the cassock, put it on his body, held a tin staff, and stood in front of the steps. Seeing this, everyone applauded, saying that Arhat descended to earth and Kṣitigarbha appeared
Later, Master Xuanzang gave a lecture on the stage, recited the Sutra of Survival and Death, talked about Anbang Tianbao Zhuan for a while, and proclaimed the Juan of Exhortation to Xiugong for a while, and all the monks were mesmerized by it.
At this time, I saw an old monk squeezed through the crowd, came to the Dharma platform, patted the precious platform and shouted sharply: "Then monk, do you only talk about Hinayana teachings and Mahayana teachings?"
Master Xuanzang was overjoyed when he heard the words, turned over and jumped off the stage, raised his hand to the old monk and said, "Great monk, junior monk, please be polite. All the monks in my eastern lands teach the Hinayana teachings, but I don't know what the Mahayana teachings are like?"
The old monk shook his head slightly when he heard the words, and said, "Your Hinayana teachings can't save the dead from being exalted. I have the Tripitaka of Mahayana Buddhism in Western Paradise, which can surpass the dead to ascend to heaven, save people from suffering, and cultivate the body of infinity."
Li Shimin was listening to a lecture with all the civil and military officials in the audience, when he suddenly saw someone disturbing the dojo, he quickly ordered the warriors under the tent to press him down in front of him!
Unexpectedly, it turned out that the person was actually the pair of master and apprentice who sold the cassocks earlier, so he couldn't help but scold him: "The master came here to listen to the lecture, why did he disturb the scripture hall and misunderstand my Buddhist affairs?"
The old monk couldn't help shaking his head when he heard the words, and said, "I didn't mean to disrupt the scripture hall on purpose, but because your mage taught the Hinayana teachings, and he couldn't save the dead. Opening Heavens,
My Buddha has the Tripitaka of the Mahayana Dharma, which can save death from suffering, and live without damage to the body. "
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin hurriedly asked, "Where is the Mahayana Buddhism?"
Hearing this, the old monk smiled slightly and said, "At the Pure Land in the West Great Temple of Thundering Sounds, my Buddha Tathagata."
Taizong said: "Master, do you remember?"
The old monk nodded slightly when he heard the words: "I remember."
Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly urged: "Master, please come to the stage and give a lecture."
Hearing the words, the old monk flew up to the high platform with his disciples, and showed his original body, holding the willow jade bottle in his hand. On the left was Hui'an Walker, who was attached to the iron rod and guarded by the side of the Bodhisattva.
Seeing that it was Guanyin Bodhisattva manifesting his holiness, everyone hurriedly worshiped to the sky, knelt down and burned incense, chanting "Namo Guanyin Bodhisattava" in their mouths. Li Shimin even delivered an order to paint the holy Wu Daozi and copy the true shape of the Bodhisattva.
A moment later, the Bodhisattva drove away on auspicious clouds, leaving a simple note in the air, which floated to Li Shimin's hand, and the words on the post were clear: To the Lord of the Tang Dynasty, there are wonderful words in the west.
The journey is one hundred and eight thousand miles, and the Mahayana is diligent. This scripture returns to Shangguo, which can surpass ghosts and go out of groups. If anyone is willing to go, seek the golden body of the true fruit.
After reading the post, Li Shimin asked on the spot: "Who is willing to receive my will on 2.1 and go to the Western Heaven to worship Buddha and ask for scriptures?"
As soon as the words finished, a monk appeared from the crowd, clasped his palms together and said: "The poor monk is not talented, I wish to do the work of a dog and a horse, and ask your majesty for the scriptures, and pray that my king will last forever. When you look carefully, you see It's not the Archmage Xuanzang.
Li Shimin couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and said: "It is impossible to go to the west without being a master. The master is dedicated to the Buddha and is not afraid of the hardships of the journey. I am willing to become a brother of a different surname with the master.
When Xuanzang heard the words, he quickly bowed his head to thank him, saying that he didn't dare, but in the end Li Shimin forced him to swear an oath in front of the Buddha, and become brothers with Xuanzang.
After the two swore their vows, they walked out of the Daxiong Hall together, making all the people admire the demeanor of the "Royal Brother Saint Monk",
Finally, Li Shimin took Xuanzang's hand and said: "Yudi will rest in the temple first, and I will send an order to the world to recruit a few brave men to protect Yudi and go to the west to seek the scriptures!".
