Chapter 503: What do you think of the royal disciple’s observation? Then let the prince come with him(2/2)
In Daci'en Temple.
After seeing the emperor's brother saying the Buddha's name, there was no response. Now even Li Shimin felt a little surprised and asked quickly: "But what's wrong?"
"Although this female benefactor has a connection with Buddhism, it is not deep after all, and her worldliness is hard to break..." Fahai asked knowingly, "Does the emperor want to send her to become a nun?"
When Wu Meiniang heard this, she was immediately stunned... She had never wanted to become a nun!
Does Your Majesty really want to send yourself to become a nun?
But she thought of Master Tripitaka's words just now, and felt grateful and happy in her heart... If this was the case, His Majesty might be able to give up the idea of sending her to become a monk.
After listening to Master Tripitaka's words, Li Shimin asked curiously: "Is there a connection with Buddhism but not a deep one? How do you explain this?"
Although he didn't say it clearly, the meaning of asking this question actually showed that Li Shimin did have the idea of sending Wu Meiniang to become a nun.
Even if you become a monk, you cannot go to Daci'en Temple. You have to go to Ganye Temple to practice and pray. Ganye Temple is a royal temple in the forbidden garden and is not open to the public.
"You can learn Buddhism and cultivate Buddhism." Fahai paused and then said: "It is not suitable to become a monk."
She is definitely not a person who can endure loneliness. Even if she is ordained temporarily, she will have to return to secular life sooner or later...
Li Shimin nodded, indicating that he understood, but then he smiled and said: "Then let her come to the temple from time to time to ask my brother for Buddhist teachings. I can't promise that no one in the big Ming Palace knows my brother's consciousness-only teachings."
Bar?"
Seeing that Fahai wanted to refuse, Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "From the concubines, princes and princesses to the eunuchs, maids and guards, there are not many people in the palace who are really interested in Buddhism... Although the prince likes to learn Buddhism, after all
I am responsible for supervising the country... It was also Yuan and Li who mentioned that Mei Niang has some Buddhist connections, so I brought her here... If my brother feels that she is a prostitute and cannot come to the temple often, I will trouble my brother.
Send one or two capable disciples to teach the Dharma in the palace..."
"Amitabha, this is not appropriate." Fahai refused straight away. It was not a good thing for a monk to enter the palace...especially the harem of the Tang Dynasty. If it was not kept in good condition, something would happen.
Wukong and the others were definitely not willing to enter the palace and preach Buddhism to the Wu Cai people. They were the ordinary monks who stayed with them all these days.
I have to say, there are quite a few worthy of development.
But Fa Hai didn't think that they could escape unscathed after entering the harem...it would be too unworthy if their practice was broken and their lives were lost.
"The few bad disciples under my sect have not practiced enough on their own, and they are not even qualified to teach as teachers. Moreover, their appearance is not human, and it is very inconvenient for them to come and go in the palace..." Fa Hai thought about it and said, "Can this female benefactor, at the beginning of each month?
In the middle and at the end of the month, come to the temple to study Buddhism."
Seeing that Li Shimin was about to agree, he added, "I need someone to accompany me."
This was due to the reputation of both parties. After all, the women's crowns and monks of the Tang Dynasty... had a lot of romantic affairs spread among the people.
Li Shimin couldn't trust anyone, and couldn't he trust his royal disciple who was the Holy Buddha of the Three Realms?
But since the emperor's younger brother had given special instructions, Li Shimin said casually: "Then let the prince come with him."
Fahai:???
