Chapter 2067 Vinaya
Rodo smiled and said, "We have always speculated so much, but we have never seen the Buddha's cave before. We cannot be sure of what happened."
"Just just now, the location of the relics on the sand table is naturally where the Buddha cave is." Chu Huan said: "But I can't understand where it is."
"Actually, the above mark has been marked, but others don't know it, but we can see it." Luodu walked to Chu Huan and said, "After we welcomed the ashes of our ancestors from the pagoda, we set off immediately. Time is tight and we cannot delay."
Chu Huan nodded slightly. Since he had known the location of the Buddha Cave, the Longtai would have lost its effect on the people present. Chu Huan knew that the next time he opened the Longtai would be more than 70 years later. If nothing unexpected happened, by that time, the people present had already left the world.
After leaving the Dragon Platform, Luo Duo walked out of the Buddhist temple and saw that thousands of disciples had gathered densely on the square. The fire was bright. Chu Huan followed Luo Duo and then he saw clearly that the disciples on the square were almost all monks with bare heads. Although he saw figures gathering towards the square, he didn't look closely. Only then did he realize that the people gathered in the square were all monks.
The Buddha Kingdom is the base camp of the Xin Sect, just like Zen Buddhism that was the only one in the Central Plains, and the Xin Sect, which originated from the same origin as Zen Buddhism, established itself in the Western Regions and became the largest sect in the Western Regions.
From princes and nobles to ordinary people, there were countless believers who believed in Xinzong. This was just like the Central Plains in the past, those who believed in Zen Buddhism also spread all over the world.
In the territory of the Buddha, there are naturally many people who have seen through the world of monks and monks. Lotus City is the capital of the Buddha State, and there are thousands of monks in the city.
Although there were thousands of disciples gathered on the square, there was no sound.
Luo Huluo led more than ten disciples to live in front of the Buddhist temple gate, bowed slightly to Luodu. Luo Huluo glanced at Luo Huluo and nodded slightly. Luo Huluo made a gesture, and immediately two disciples came out from the side. The two of them were holding a long pole in their hands. When Chu Huan looked up, he found that the two of them were holding a peacock with open-screen peacock. They each grabbed one of the legs of the peacock.
Rodo folded his hands together, recited in a low voice, raised his head suddenly, and let out a strange cry. The two disciples were slowly walking down the steps with the peacocks. Rodo followed behind. Seeing this, Chu Huan could only follow behind. Viagra and Viagra followed closely, while Rokura and others followed at the end.
The peacock led the way. After walking a few steps, Chu Huan heard the sound of chanting scriptures coming from behind. When he looked back, he found that the disciples in the square had already followed him in line. The team was in order. Almost everyone clasped their hands together and recited in a low voice. Thousands of people recited scriptures. The scene was naturally extremely spectacular, and the sound of chanting scriptures was even more low and solemn.
There were lights in the square. It was midnight at this time. Chu Huan was worried that it would be difficult to recognize the road along the way, but he soon realized that he was worried about it.
On the long street, the houses on both sides had opened their doors, and on both sides of the long street were full of residents. Everyone was kneeling devoutly on the ground, buried their heads on the ground, and a lamp was hung in front of each house. The lights were bright, illuminating the long street as bright as day.
Chu Huan saw it and was secretly frightened, thinking that the people of the Buddha's country's belief in Xin Sect has been deeply rooted in the bones. This seemingly simple scene allowed Chu Huan to truly understand the status of Xin Sect in the Western Regions.
As they passed along the way, the residents knelt on both sides piously and quietly, while the disciples of the Xinsect, who were like a dragon, recited scriptures along the way. After walking like this, it took more than an hour. When it was time to be ugly, Chu Huan saw a round pagoda appearing in front of him. This stone pagoda is very different from other pagodas in the city. It is round all over. If it weren't for an umbrella cover on the top, it would be like a column standing on the ground.
However, the column was surrounded by a Buddhist temple, and there were no houses, which were extremely empty. Seeing that there was still a distance from the pagoda, it stopped immediately, but Luo Duo did not stop. While walking forward without looking back, he said, "The Dragon King comes with me!"
Chu Huan was about to stop, but after hearing Chu Huan say this, he followed Luo Duo and asked, "Brother, is this a pagoda where the ashes of ancestors are placed?"
"That's right!" Luo Duo said as he walked: "But in Xinzong, this tower is called the Six Path Tower. You can't see the scene inside from the outside. There are six floors here, five of which are above the ground and under the ground, and there is another floor!"
"Oh?" Chu Huan said: "The Six Path Tower means the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"
Luo Du shook his head and said, "It's not the case. These six pagodas have two uses. The first one, you already know, is used to place the ashes of the Buddha Mother, the Holy Kings of the Eight Tribes, and the Sixteen Arhats. When their bodies were in the world, they were all to save thousands of creatures on the earth. After passing away, they were sent into the Six Pagodas, and they could turn to other paths and continue to save creatures in other paths."
As they spoke, the closer they were to the Six Pagoda Tower. The closer they got, the more towering the Six Pagoda Tower appeared. Although it was just a simple circular pagoda, it exuded a majestic and sacred aura.
"If it is the second purpose!" Luodu paused and said, "That is to punish disciples who have made great mistakes in the Heart Sect and even deviated from the Heart Sect."
"oh?"
"The top floor of the Six Path Tower is used to worship Buddha Mother, and the next floor is used to worship the Holy King." Luodu explained patiently: "The next floor is the four heavenly kings of the Heavenly Tribes, and the next floor is the seven kings headed by the Dragon King, Garula, Kinnara, Gandapa, Yasha, Makhraka and Shura tribes, after the passing of the king, they all worshipped here with the Dragon King."
Chu Huan suddenly realized: "The first floor on the ground is naturally the ashes of the Arhats of all dynasties."
Rodou said, "That's right." He didn't turn his head, but he still said, "And the floor below the ground, that is, the bottom of the Six Path Tower, is the place where the confinement is, we call it Vinaya!"
“Vinaiah?”
"In your words, it can be called the place of precepts. This Vinaiah is the first place to punish my heart sect." Rotha said: "Although the eight tribes have always been the guardians of the heart sect since the founding of the heart sect, because of the different depths of Buddhism, some disciples have fallen into evil paths, deviated from the heart sect's Buddhist teachings, and even committed sins that the heart sect could not be allowed. In this case, they must be punished according to the laws and regulations passed down by the heart sect."
Chu Huan asked, "Does the disciples of Xin Sect violate the laws and regulations and all want to enter Vinaya?"
Rodar shook his head and said, "Of course not. Vinaya is only targeting the eight tribes, the Arhat Vajra and ordinary disciples. Even if they violate the laws and regulations, they have other ways to punish them. Even if they do not violate the laws and regulations, they must enter Vinaya." At this time, only ten steps away from the Six Path Towers, Radar stopped and slowly said, "The precepts eliminate all mistakes and mistakes, or they may destroy them, just like the laws in the world, to cut off serious sins, so it is said that the law adjusts the work of body, speech and mind, and subdues all key actions, so it is said that the practice of "restraining and subduing."
Chu Huan was confused when he heard the clouds and mountains, and was quite confused. Luo Duo had already explained: "The eight tribes are the guardians of the Xin Sect. They have a very high prestige in the Western Regions and each has a Dharma field. The Buddha Mother and the Holy King are in the Lotus City, but the Buddha Kingdom is not just this city. From top to bottom, there are thirteen cities in the entire Buddha Kingdom. There are dozens of countries in the Western Regions that believe in the Xin Sect, which are no less than hundreds of cities." After pondering slightly, he continued: "The Buddha Kingdom regards the Buddha Mother as the most, but the decision is made up of the Holy King. This is not necessary. However, the political affairs of the Western Regions all have their kings, but Buddhist affairs require the eight tribes to protect the Dharma."
Chu Huan frowned and said, "Does the elder brother mean that all countries have decided on Buddhism and religion? "
"That's true." Rodo said: "Every year, there are many sacrifices in various countries, such as the new king ascending the throne, the king's marriage and other matters, which require blessings from the guardian gods. For example, when Wu Chi, heading to the northwest, the Buddha's mother gave his guardian god Garula as Garula when Wu Chi, so many Buddhist affairs in Wu Chi, were borne by the Garula tribe. If Garula could not be present in person, he would definitely send people from the Garula tribe to preside over it. And Wu Chi, the guardian god in the country was Garula!"
When Chu Huan heard this, he suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but say, "So that's it, no wonder when he was in the Guifang!" but he didn't continue.
"Ghost Square?" Rodo finally turned around and looked over.
Chu Huan said: "In the Anyi Road of Central Plains, there is a group of people who are descendants of the Western Regions. They call themselves ghosts and people. They have lived in the Central Plains for several generations, but they still maintain some traditions and beliefs of the Western Regions. I saw the sculpture of Makhuraga from them, and they claimed that they were their guardian deity. I didn't understand back then, but now I know that this is the case."
Rodo smiled and said, "In this way, when those ancestors were in the Western Regions, the guardian deity of their country was Makhuraka. All the rituals in the country were all presided over by the Makhuraka tribe." After a pause, he continued: "The eight tribes deal with all matters, and the Xinsect naturally also has a set of laws and regulations to regulate their words, deeds, big and small laws. If there is any violation, the Dragon tribe will supervise and enforce the law. However, if the eight tribes violate the three precepts of the Xinsect, they must undergo the most serious judgment."
"Three Rings?"
"There are many Buddhist sects, and their Buddhist meanings are different. The Vinaiah, that is, the precepts, are also different." Radha said seriously.
Chu Huan immediately said: "Is it like the Central Plains Zen Buddhism has four major precepts?"
"The four precepts of Zen Buddhism are killing, stealing, adultery, and lying." Luo Duo said: "This is actually the four fundamental precepts of Zen Buddhism. They belong to the practice precepts of Hinayana, not the four fundamental precepts of Buddhism. To practice Buddhism, you must develop a great mind, practice the five precepts of Mahayana, develop the Bodhicitta, and save sentient beings. Only by practicing Mahayana Buddhism can you achieve ultimate liberation. However, in the human path, the three precepts of the Mind Buddhism are also the three precepts of Hinayana that belong to the Mind Buddhism itself, which is very similar to Zen Buddhism."
"What are the three major precepts of the Heart Sect?"
