Chapter 463: Three-car monk
Chen Fan paused, "So, although Tang Monk is not good at fists and has no supernatural powers, he is very strong in Buddha nature and his ability to comprehend the scriptures and Buddhism is rare in the world. This is reserved in "Journey to the West". But you also know that "Journey to the West" is a god and a demon, and many of the stories in it are fictional. Moreover, the writers who write books have a clear tendency to worship Buddhism and Taoism, which is obvious to everyone. Therefore, the stories in it can only be seen, and cannot be regarded as true. This is why,
Not long ago, I specially searched for some information about the legendary Master Xuanzang. Historical Xuanzang was a master-level figure who carried forward the past in the history of Buddhist exhibitions, but he was not as pedantic and stubborn as he wrote. He traveled through mountains and rivers to the ancient Nalanda Temple in the ancient Indian country to seek the true scriptures, and worshipped the highly respected elder Jiexian as his teacher, studied the "Yoga Saint-Shi". A few years later, he returned to the Middle Land with the scriptures, translated the scriptures and spread the Dharma. He was really a hero."
"But does he have anything to do with you?" Li Xiaojun curled his lips.
"Some of his experiences have inspired me."
Chen Fan said, spreading his hands, "Xuanzang had two experiences in his life that made me feel very strange. One was on the way west, and the other was at Nalanda Temple. It is said that Xuanzang often traveled through mountains and rivers on the way west, which was very hard. One day it rained heavily, and he hurriedly avoided it. After running away, he found a cave under a high mountain.
The cave was very big, but it was full of bat feces. At that time, Master Xuanzang thought to himself that there must be no one in this cave, otherwise where did so much bat feces come from? He took advantage of his courage to enter the cave and lit a torch.
The cave was very deep. After walking for a while, I suddenly saw a huge figure in front of me. He shivered and was frightened. It turned out that there was a person sitting in the cave!
There is a very tall statue sitting cross-legged in the cave, with its head tied together, its face and body covered with dust. It does not move, but it is taller than an ordinary house!
Xuanzang leaned over and looked carefully. Suddenly, the man seemed to be breathing and was alive. Looking at his clothes and Buddhist beads, he immediately realized that this was an old monk and had been in meditation for a long time!
Master Xuanzang knew that he would definitely not be an ordinary person who could enter meditation for so long, so he took out the bell and opened the quiet for him. After a while, the old monk began to move and bounce it bit by bit.
He opened his eyes and saw Xuanzang standing in front of him, and he looked horrified at that time.
He put his hands together and said to Xuanzang, "You have a treasure appearance, your soul relies on the Buddha's veins, and there is a red light hidden. I wonder which great monk came to the realm to save people."
Xuanzang laughed as soon as he heard this and said that my name is Xuanzang, and he is a little monk. Where are you? Where are you from? Why are you sitting here?
The old monk sighed and said, "Report to Master Xuanzang, I was a bandit, and I did countless evils during my lifetime. Later, I received the teachings of the ancient Buddha of Lan Lan. I put down my butcher's knife and entered the Buddhist temple. I have been eating vegetarianism for decades and keeping precepts and studying Buddhism. I dare not be neglected for half a day. Nearly a hundred years later, I finally achieved the Vajra Realm and Arhat Fruit. The ancient Buddha called me here.
Xuanzang was surprised and said that the Vajra Realm and Arhat Fruit were already a rare high-level state in Buddhism. No wonder he was so tall! He also thought about him that he was waiting for someone here, and he didn't know if he was waiting for him! He was a little excited inside and asked him, "Monster, who are you waiting for now?"
The old monk said, I am waiting for the Red Yang Buddha to be born, and I want him to attain the fruit and preach the Dharma.
Xuanzang was so embarrassed at that time, thinking that Hongyang Buddha was not the Buddha Shakyamuni? Shakyamuni had been dead for so long, how many years have you been sleeping?
He smiled bitterly and said that Hongyang Buddha had been destroyed for a long time, so you probably missed it!
The old monk was embarrassed and said, "Hongyang Buddha has died? Then you can wait for the Whiteyang Buddha to be born!"
Baiyang Buddha talked about Maitreya.
Xuanzang laughed again and said, the Buddhist scriptures say that the Buddha Baiyang went to heaven to spread the Dharma, and was retained by the heavenly beings. The Buddha predicted that he would be born three thousand years later and be the future Buddha. You will not wake up for thousands of years after entering meditation, so don’t wait. Otherwise, you are idle anyway. It’s better for me to worship you as my teacher. After waiting for the true scriptures I have sought, let’s make an appointment with you to spread the Dharma together!
The old monk was shocked and said that the master was joking, but the little monk didn’t dare, so it would be better for the little monk to take you as his master!
Xuanzang felt strange and said, "You must not be able to practice Vajra."
The realm, Arhat Fruit, is a rare monk in the world. How can you worship me as your teacher?
The old monk waved his hand and said, "The ancient Buddha once told me that there are three levels of cultivation, one is to strengthen the tendons; the second is to strengthen the bones; and the third is to shape the soul."
Those who have strong tendons have tall figures and strong tendons, which can obtain the power of dragons and elephants and the ability to pull mountains.
Those who strengthen bones have immortal spirit and body, hard muscles and bones, strong winds cannot be swept, thunder cannot move, and their body is upright and unmoving as a mountain, which is the indestructible Vajra.
The soul shaped one is born with Dharma appearance, shaping a golden body, and reincarnation without falling into cultivation. The little monk has a glimpse of it, but he has never seen the third one. The master is born with Buddha appearance and is absolutely extraordinary. I think you should be a great Bodhisattva who has been shining for thousands of years. How dare the little monk be arrogant and thinks he is a teacher?
After saying that, the old monk was determined to worship Xuanzang as his teacher, but Xuanzang could not refuse and could only accept him as his disciple.
But over the years, the monk's cultivation has been growing and his body has gradually become larger. After the heavy rain, Xuanzang came out of the cave and he could not get out.
Xuanzang had no choice but to say to him, your body is too old, why not change it! I am going to seek scriptures now and I will be back in a few years. Why not be reincarnated now? You walk from here to the east and look at a palace with yellow glazed tiles on the roof, and you will be reincarnated and said that family is the palace of the Tang King Li Shimin. This person is kind and generous and a wise king. When I come back, I will go to find you!
The old monk nodded and turned into a wisp of green smoke and was reincarnated. As a result, after nearly twenty years, Master Sanzang finally came back. When he came back, he was already a great man of success and fame. King Li Shimin of Tang personally welcomed him, built a temple for him, and offered him a support.
But when Xuanzang looked around, he found that the apprentice he had taken halfway was not among Li Shimin's descendants. He felt strange and told him the matter. Li Shimin also felt strange and asked someone to search according to the days at that time. But after searching, he found someone. It turned out that the old monk had never been to Chang'an and did not know the way. He saw the mansion of the Yuchi Gong family from afar and regarded it as the palace and reincarnated it!
At this time, he was almost twenty years old and a handsome young man! Li Shimin called him and thought this kid was good, so he asked him to practice on his behalf and worship Xuanzang as his teacher! As a result, this guy grinned and said he would not do it! Is this monk who is good at living a good life?
Li Shimin got angry and said I wouldn't do it and I'll chop your head! Will you do it?
The boy was thinking, but he was still timid. He said that he would let me become a monk on your behalf, that would be fine, but you have to give me three things:
I want a car full of gold, silver and jewelry, a car full of beauties, and a car full of good wine.
Li Shimin was so angry that he thought to himself that it would be fine if you, a monk, ask for books and money, but what should you want to have a beautiful woman?
Xunsongsongsongshuo, but at least he didn't want to, so he forced him to come! So he nodded and was accurate.
On this day, the young master of the Yuchi family went to become a monk, riding a tall horse, pulling three large carriages behind him, and swaying across the market.
Everyone was puzzled at first sight and said, "What is this for?" Some people said that this was a monk!
Everyone laughed when they heard this and said, "Oh my god, there are so many monks who have become monks? This monk is so awesome! So everyone gave him a nickname called "Monkey Sanche". "
"What happened to him later? How did he do those beauties?"
Li Xiaojun has no research on these things, and he doesn't know who the legendary "Three Car Monk" is. She subconsciously thought that even if this monk is reincarnated by a master, he is definitely not a serious person.
When she thought about the scene where a monk was bringing a group of beauties and hehehe, she thought it was really weird.
"Beauty? The beauty has been sent back."
Chen Fanyun smiled lightly, picked up the teacup, took a sip, "These Sanche Monks are very famous figures in history, a serious monk. It is said that when the monks slandered him, they heard someone ringing a bell outside the hall. When they thrust him, they woke up the Buddha nature in their hearts. He suddenly understood and remembered everything! He looked around and said, "My God, what have I done? He quickly sent back all the beauty, gold, silver, jewelry, etc.! From then on, he followed Master Xuanzang to practice, and finally, he really achieved the right result and became a Buddhist monk who was admired in various ways in later generations."
“How many are there
Gao? Has he really become a Buddha?"
Li Xiaojun always suspected that Chen Fan was making up stories to tease her and was a little unbelievable.
"It's hard to say that becoming a Buddha or something. I haven't tried to prove it, but there is a well-known thing that shows his power."
Chen Fan rubbed his arms, "I knew a master before, the host of the Waguan Temple. He was a respected old monk who was very respectable. When I heard his preaching, he told me that this monk Sanche was named Master Kuiji, and he was actually the first disciple Xuanzang accepted after returning from the west. This man liked to travel around and often visited monks from all over the country. At that time, there was a monk named Daoxuan who was of the same age as him. Daoxuan himself was also a very powerful monk. He usually had strict requirements on himself, profound Buddhism, and spread merits. Later, after reaching a certain level, a celestial girl even came to offer him and delivered food to him every day."
"The goddess? Is it a fairy?" Li Xiaojun said curiously.
