Chapter 328: The Buddha Said to Transcend the World and Heal the World
It is impossible for Buddhism to surrender to the tough measures of the King of Qin so easily. There are only a few temples. Can the King of Qin still kill all the monks in Chang'an?
But no one expected the actions of the King of Qin.
"The Buddhist temple contains rioters and traitors. I hope that the people of Chang'an will pay attention to their own safety. Pay more attention when burning incense in the temple, and may be afraid that evil monks will roam out."
When the King of Qin sent a notice, Li Shimin was stunned, and Xuanzang and others were even more stunned.
The first time I saw this way of posting notices, especially the tone in it, was really not like the one written by the King of Qin.
The monks didn't care, but it was not until a few days later that they understood the true power of this notice.
It is said by the people that the temples where incense is burned and worshipped by Buddha are actually sinners. Who dares to burn incense?
Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot? A joke, can you change into a cassock and your sins be dispersed?
If so, where is the law of the Tang Dynasty? Where is the justice of heaven and earth?
"Have you heard it? The notice posted by His Highness the King of Qin!"
"I've known this long ago. Didn't this Buddhism talk about a pure land? How could it still cover up criminals?"
"Who said no? I used to think that those monks had good faces and kind hearts. Now it seems that they are really not good at appearance!"
"I want me to tell you that it's better to go to that place less in the future. There is a girl next door who lost her trace after burning incense in the temple."
"Ah? Whose girl? Why don't I know?"
"It's Ruyifang, the girl from the Old Sun family! Don't you know yet?"
"Really? Then... has that girl been looking for it?"
"Oh... where can I find it? There are no people..."
This rumor was not caused by Li Fangchen's sending people, but the people were suspicious.
There are too many stories about Chang'an City, and any two can be involved.
It is not rare for women from Tang Dynasty to go to temples to burn incense, and one or two of them will inevitably have never returned.
It can be said that the legal system construction of the Tang Dynasty was not perfect, or it could be said that the population was large, so it was inevitable that the investigation would be neglected. 70% of the population disappearance cases in the Tang Dynasty would become unsolved cases, because this is not an era of sound legal system.
The fate of a woman's disappearance is naturally obvious, only her parents are in tears and regretting her love daughter's death.
As a result, Buddhism plummeted and the prefectures began to suppress it.
There was also a prince above the King of Qin. Seeing that his brother had a dispute with the Buddhist sect, the first thing he did when he went to court the next day was to ask the saint to investigate it carefully. The Buddhist sect dared to ignore the law and must punish it severely.
The prince's side also caused some court officials to retract their original wait-and-see gaze.
The turmoil in the court came out, and the prince and dozens of officials believed that the Buddhist temple should be investigated strictly.
Unwilling to accept it?
Who cares about you?
You are just a Buddhist, you will only be a civilian, not a soldier!
Not to mention the thousands of troops of the Tang Dynasty, the white wolf under the King of Qin alone is enough to eradicate Buddhism from the world.
留下的,也不过零星半点.
Buddhism’s seemingly illusory attitude towards avoiding the world is their biggest protective umbrella ever.
Who can dislike religions that do not like power, do not compete for throne, and can appease the people?
But now it is not possible, because their accumulation has become a concern.
The illusion above the doctrine is far less scary than the real ones that appear in gold, silver and treasures.
Li Shimin had evil thoughts and wanted to loot all the larger temples around Chang'an City, not to mention others.
Today you can hand over twelve golden Buddhas and dozens of cars of gold and silver. What about tomorrow?
How deep is your Buddhist foundation?
If it weren't for the King of Qin, I'm afraid that Buddhism could easily pull up an army of 100,000?
This is in Chang'an! Under his nose of Li Shimin, a 100,000 army is probably not a problem to break through Chang'an!
"Xuanzang, tell the King of Qin that we have agreed to his conditions!"
Buddhism chose to surrender. Without believers, there are only a few Buddhists who burn incense, and the entire temple looks a little down.
Xuanzang said to himself: "When we were discussing with you, they were arrogant and arrogant, and regarded the King of Qin as nothing, but now they want me...ah, Amitabha."
Xuanzang visited Qin Wangzhuang three times and met Qin Wang Li Fangchen again.
"What's wrong? Have you thought about it?"
Li Fangchen and Li Tai smiled at each other, turned their heads and looked at Xuanzang, with a bit of fun in their smile.
Xuanzang nodded, "Amitabha, please raise your hand and ask your highness to let the Buddhist sect go."
"A horse in Buddhism? How could your Buddhist horse be here with me?"
"Your Highness..." Xuanzang's face showed bitterness, and he didn't know that it was the King of Qin to spend time.
"Forget it, you get up first, I can let Buddhism go."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
I stood up quickly and bowed again. Every move was a Tang ritual, and it was rare to perform Buddhist rituals.
But the real name of the Buddha's words is really hard to change, and Li Fangchen doesn't mind this.
"The Buddha said to save the world, and the Buddha saved the world. This is not something you can do by saying it and then reciting a few verses. I will give you the opportunity to truly save the world, why don't you do it?"
Xuanzang was silent and refused to answer. Why didn’t he do it? He thought he was superior and he was a monk. Why did he become a doctor?
Li Fangchen signaled Xuanzang to sit down, and then smiled and said, "I also know a monk. His real name is Li Shutong and his magic name is Yanyin. However, outsiders prefer to call him Master Hongyi!"
Hongyi? Why have you never heard of this name?
Xuanzang was curious and waited for the following article of the King of Qin.
"Since my life, I serve the Buddha half a lifetime. This person's poems, lyrics, books, and paintings gather together and has great achievements in the country. No matter who is in the contemporary era, he will be called Master Li when he meets him! After returning to the Buddha, he will carefully worship the Buddha in the second half of his life. When he dies of illness, all living beings lament."
Li Fangchen is not as simple as saying it. Master Hongyi, the first person to introduce Western music theory to China and a pioneer of the New Culture Movement.
He is even the founder of Chinese drama, which shows the contributions made by the other party to the country.
Who in Buddhism dares to compare with it today?
Religion gives people spiritual baptism, making people fearless of all kinds of suffering in life.
But his function is only like this. Could it be that the Buddha can protect the mountains and rivers? Or is it that the Buddha prays that everyone can respect each other and be friendly to all countries?
"Amitabha, if you are lucky, Xuanzang hopes to worship him under the other party, but unfortunately he cannot meet him."
Xuanzang sighed in his heart, if what His Highness King Qin said was true, then this master could be called a Taoist monk.
Li Fangchen also sighed and then said, "The Buddha is in his heart, and he opens his mouth and calls him Buddha. How ridiculous is it? If the true Buddha is alive, you, I, and the green bird can be the true Buddha. But who is the true Buddha? How many people know? Since you follow the Buddha, you should know what the Buddha is?"
“请殿下赐教!”
"The Buddha is the heart. If there is Buddha in his heart, everyone is like Buddha. If the Buddha is the will, then the mind will obtain the Dharma and save all sentient beings. The Buddha talks about compassion, and then compassion for the world and save people from the sea of suffering. If the Buddha is a doctor..."
At this pause, Li Fangchen looked at Xuanzang, who said aloud: "There will heal the people and promote the exquisiteness of Buddhist theory."
"good!"
At this moment, Xuanzang seemed to have all the blood stasis in his heart dissipated and his whole body was sublimated.
What His Highness, the King of Qin, said is true. What is Buddha? What is Buddha?
Since the Buddha helps the people, why are they staying in the temple? Can the golden body and Dharma really make the world feel the mystery and depth of Buddhism?
"Bow thanks to Your Highness, Xuanzang has something to ask for!"
"Word!"
"Your Highness asks you to send someone to teach Buddhism and the Daxiangguo Temple, the world Buddhist temple, and the little monks cannot control it, but the Daxiangguo Temple will be the true Buddha!"
Li Fangchen looked out of the house, "It's almost done, maybe we'll arrive in a few days."
"Who?"
"Doctor!"
"Who is Taoist?"
"Who else is qualified except him?"
"Since that's the case, Xuanzang will leave!"
"Qingque, send the mage away for me."
This is the first time that Xuanzang was sent out of Qinwangzhuang. The previous few times, he returned home in a lonely way.
Now it is different. He seems to have a new interpretation of Buddhism and sighed in his heart that no matter whether others are true Buddhas or not, looking at the King of Qin is enough to discuss the true Buddhas.
