Chapter 457 The Shifang Pure Land Temple

Li Dandao didn't say anything, and asked Kong Yingda whether he was loyal to the emperor or the people.

To be loyal to the emperor, he is still a noble family, rich and can last for thousands of years.

To be loyal to the people, what the people want is equality and fairness. This is to break the monopoly and to destroy one's own job.

The country is the emperor's country. Without a country, the people are like grass, with a country, and the people are like pearls.

It is biased to the people, whether it is the court, or the court, or the emperor.

This is the case with the times, and we cannot criticize it from the perspective of omniscience and omnipotence.

But it is true that the truth is different and we do not plan for each other.

Kong Yingda is a member of the King of Qin.

He is here to recruit Li Dandao.

Li Dandao intends to cooperate with the King of Qin, but he is definitely not the one who becomes the King of Qin.

Kong Yingda did not continue to entangle, and smart people didn't need these.

In addition to feeling the Feng Shui here, Li Dandao also felt the feeling of another world, the underworld, and the mezzanine layer between the world.

If the Cave Heaven and Blessings are one of the entrances to the thirty-sixth level of heaven, then this is the entrance to the Netherworld.

But there was no abnormal movement.

Back at Qingniu Temple, Li Dandao asked the old Taoist doctor in the Taoist Medical Hall: "Is there a temple near Mangshan?"

The old Taoist doctor is refining the Red Success Pill, which is a wonderful surgical medicine made of mercury, fire salt, alum, cinnabar, realgar, and soap.

He ignored Li Dandao. Seeing that he used medicine to refine medicine jars and sealed them with June 1st mud, the charcoal fire energy was slightly insufficient, and the fire mantra he recited was not as good as his own.

But there was no advice, and it was not very polite. I was a guest and I even pretended to slap in the face. It was not good.

Fortunately, after practicing the Red Pill, the old Taoist doctor said, "What are you doing when you look for a temple? You can't stand the pure mind and want to cause trouble?"

"Not that." Li Dandao shook his head: "It's not that bad."

The old Taoist dipped his fingers, tasted the lipstick-supporting pill powder, and frowned: "You are also a Taoist doctor. Can you refine this pill?"

Li Dandao nodded: "It's not difficult."

The old Taoist doctor said: "You make a furnace and I'll take a look."

Li Dandao refined a furnace of red-supporting pill in a normal manner, with a bright red color, which was better than the quality of an old Taoist doctor.

Li Dandao has already grasped the golden stone pills.

The old Taoist doctor was indeed surprised: "Are you from the Danding School?"

"Not that, it's just a true disciple of the doctor Sun Simiao." I couldn't help but show off.

"No wonder." The old Taoist doctor said: "The red elixir can be refined, where is the white elixir?"

"It's OK." Li Dandao showed his hand again.

While refining, explain: "

First grind the three flavors of Zhu, Xiong and Boron, add salt, alum, nitrate, soap and mercury to grind them evenly, and the mercury is not visible to the point."

"Use one Yangcheng pot, put it on a charcoal fire, slowly pour the medicine into the pot and dissolve it, and force it to dry it."

"If the fire is too dry, the mercury will go away. If it is not dry, the medicine will fall down and be useless. This is the difficulty. Then close it with a Yangcheng jar."

"Use cotton paper to cut half an inch wide, grind the jar mud, straw sandal gray, and light powder, and add salt to the marinade to the extreme wetness, one layer of mud and one layer of paper, four or five layers of paste, and two or three layers of the medicine jar paste."

"Dig a small pond underground and put it in the bottom of the pond with a rice bowl. Put the medicine-free pot in the bowl, and use the tiles to the mouth of the pond, and the ground is on all sides, so that the charcoal ash can fall into the bowl. If there is a medicine pot, cover it with charcoal fire, and there is no space."

"About three incense sticks, remove the fire, open it coldly, and check it for about one or two. If there is green smoke on the jar when refining, use a pen to dip the jar salt mud to fix it."

While listening, the old Taoist doctor took notes and asked, "Why do you need straw sandals to grey?"

"This is about the word "super"." As soon as Li Dandao explained, the old Taoist doctor understood.

It was not a short time for Qingniu Temple to refine alchemy for the great officials and nobles, but Li Dandao didn't know why they still looked like this when they refining external alchemy.

The old Taoist doctor was very satisfied with Li Dandao's attitude: "There is a temple next to it, called Xixuan Temple, also known as Shifang Pure Land Temple. There is a Buddha cave inside, which was built by the Northern Wei Dynasty."

"Xi Xuan, the two words have some meanings of my Taoism."

"It is not a rare thing to use my Taoist classic words and sentences in the translation of scriptures."

"This ten directions of Pure Land is a little bit loud."

"Buddhism refers to the infinite and boundless worlds in the ten directions. The volume of the "Amitabha Sutra" says: "The Buddha told Ananda that the power of Amitabha Buddha is infinite and the inconceivable Buddhas and Tathagatas in the ten directions are all praised." Li Dandao said in a leisurely manner.

"And the ten directions are often in harmony with the two realms."

"The mind has all virtues that do not increase in Buddha or decrease in sentient beings. When it comes to this Dharma, the original appearance is the realm of the fetus."

"The infinite wisdom of the Tathagata is in harmony with the underworld. The difference between this wisdom of observation is the Vajra Realm."

"It seems that Xixuan Temple is the temple of the Pure Land Sect and has a lot of connections with Tantric Buddhism."

"Do you still have any research on Buddhist scriptures?" The old Taoist doctor was surprised: "You want to participate in the diagnosis of scriptures?"

In the fourth year of Wude, the emperor presided over the Buddhist scriptures and thought there were signs of it.

Li Dandao shook his head: "You can see if you don't know." But he said in his heart: Monk Bajie has worshipped me as his teacher, and has invaded the enemy.

If you remember correctly, this Shifang Pure Land Temple is where Chen Xuanzang became a monk.

It corresponds to it, but in history, Master Sanzang was born during the Daye period, while Li Dandao was born in the second year of Wude.

There is no need to be a tight fit, but Li Dandao is indeed interested in this Shifang Pure Land Temple.

The Pure Land Sect originated from the White Lotus Society and has a long history since the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

"Who is the monk in charge here now?" Li Dandao asked the old Taoist doctor.

"He is a monk named Daochuo, who is very good at preaching." The old Taoist doctor paused: "He was very attentive to persuade people to chant the name of Amitabha Buddha and count the number of ma beans; that is, every time he chants the name of Amitabha Buddha, he puts a ma bean, so the people around him became a common practice and accumulated a lot of beans."

"It is said that it is to use the Buddha's vows to be reborn in the Pure Land. If you recite a sentence, you will have a merit, which is incredible accumulation. Beggars can be reborn as kings, and women can be reborn as men..."

When Li Dandao heard this, he said, "I can do a show, but where are there so many beans now?"

"So it is donated." The old Taoist doctor said: "Giveness also has immeasurable merits."

Li Dandao sighed: "So that's it."

"The rich have more merits than the poor. If you want to be reborn in the Pure Land world together, you have to divide the levels."

"Hahaha, the nobles are now in the Pure Land, why do you need to go to that equal realm? What they enjoy is inequality, and those who are taught are poor, but one bean is small. One bean a day is saved from food, which is not difficult."

Li Dandao reflected: "But we only follow the high-ranking officials and nobles."

The old Taoist doctor said: "You are wrong. It is the nobles who follow us. They always take the initiative to look for immortals, but they have never seen immortals seeking people to preach."

"Senior, you can understand it." Li Dandao gave a thumbs up.
