086 Performing daily life, killing is also for doing good deeds
It's not that people don't follow the Tao, but who would have thought that a monk, and a holy monk in the Tang Dynasty, would want to eat chicken? It seems a bit unreasonable, right?
Before eating tigers, I was able to justify myself. That's because the tigers were killed by themselves. These chickens are alive and kicking, and they haven't caused any trouble. It doesn't seem unreasonable to kill them.
In short, it is outrageous!
But looking at those green vegetables, he really couldn't swallow them.
As a last resort, Qin Shushu reminded again.
"Old man, is this dish a bit vegetarian?"
The old man looked at him puzzled, shouldn't monks be vegetarians?
"I see that there are quite a lot of chickens in your house, and no one eats them, right? I have some money here."
The old man understood immediately, and stared at Qin Shushu dumbfounded, and then at the silver in his hand.
Qin Shushu couldn't help coughing lightly, and immediately used Monkey King as a cover.
"Wukong, do you want to eat chicken?"
Sun Wukong nodded his head.
"My grandson naturally wants to eat."
After being under the mountain for 500 years, he has already forgotten what meat is like, let alone want to eat chicken, he even wants to eat this old man now.
If it wasn't for the fact that the old man had helped him, and he needed to endure the journey all the way west, he would have been impatient now!
To be honest, how much endurance is a monkey?
Even if it becomes refined, there is still a limit!
So after hearing what Qin Shushu said at this moment, it couldn't help being moved.
After Qin Shushu found the reason, he immediately opened his mouth and said.
"Old man! My apprentice wants to eat, can you make it easier for me?"
When Qin Shushu pointed at Monkey King, it was obvious that this was not what he wanted to eat, but what Monkey King wanted to eat.
How powerful is this reason?
After pondering for a while, the old man had no choice, what's more, he would return the money, wouldn't he?
I had no choice but to go out with a knife to kill chickens.
I just raised two chickens like this, and I don't want to eat them, but it's cheaper for others!
At the same time, this was also the first time he saw monks eating meat.
"Amitabha, old man, you are a great kind person!"
Qin Shushu immediately proclaimed a Buddha name.
Wufang Jiedi returned to Lingshan to return to his life. They felt that Tang Sanzang was very strange. He didn't look like a monk at all, but like a rascal.
For 500 years, they have been guarding Sun Wukong.
The monkey suffered down there and they had to stay with it too.
"Buddha, Sun Wukong has been rescued by Tang Sanzang and is heading west."
Tathagata rejoices.
"Very good, very good!"
As long as they abide by the rules of the Westbound Road, Buddhism will surely prosper.
Guanyin Bodhisattva tilted his head to remind him.
"Buddha, why don't you see what Tang Seng is doing?"
The Buddha didn't understand why Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said that, but he obeyed and waved his hands.
Qin Shu appeared clearly in the mirror.
In the mirror, Tang Sanzang was catching chickens all over the yard. He looked so busy and eager that Buddha's eyes were about to pop out!
"This"
Just as the Buddha and Mantian gods and Buddhas were astonished to the point of extreme astonishment, Qin Shushu finally caught the rooster, and then said compassionately.
"Wukong! My teacher finally caught this chicken for you. In this way, you can make up for the deficiency in your body, and then go all the way west to get the scriptures."
"Rooster, rooster, I will go to hell if I kill, but who will go to hell if I don't go to hell? In order to learn the great cause, I have to go to hell!"
The old man was very moved.
"Holy Monk, let the old man do the killing! If you recite a scripture about transcending life for him, his life will not be in vain, and he may even ascend to heaven!"
Tang Xuanzang nodded, then handed the rooster to the old man, and began to read solemnly.
"Namo Amida Poye, Dotagata Ye, Dodi Yeta, Amitabha, Amitabha."
There are various mantras in Buddhism, such as the Six-Syllable Great Ming Mantra, the Great Compassion Mantra, the Nian Zhun Ti Mantra, the Obscene King Kong Mantra, and the Buddha Ding Zun Sheng Mantra.
The real reason why these mantras are important is that they record and pass on the mantras of Buddhas or Bodhisattvas. For the inheritance of Buddhism, mantras are actually another kind of inheritance. This kind of inheritance has gone beyond the superficial level of language and writing. Directly pointing to the essence of Buddhism, mantras have been regarded as the most extraordinary method by eminent monks throughout the ages.
Because of its superiority, most people cannot understand the true meaning of its mantras, that is to say, mantras cannot be understood by people who are not of superior wisdom. Therefore, mantras are often called secret methods. The so-called secret is not a secret that is not passed on, but a meaning that is difficult for most people to understand or interpret. Sometimes it can even be said that mantras are not a method in the world.
Therefore, all mantras are very special, and the rebirth mantra is no exception.
So, what does the mantra say?
In fact, the full name of the Rebirth Mantra is "Pull out all karmic obstacles to be reborn in the Pure Land Dharani Sutra". This mantra is one of the most frequently recited mantras by the followers of the Pure Land Sect. It is said that the method of holding the Rebirth Mantra is to purify the three karma , That is, body, speech and mind are all pure, including bathing, rinsing mouth, being sincere and single-minded, burning incense in front of the Buddha, kneeling and clasping palms, and reciting 21 times each day and night. Such concentration can be regarded as holding the mantra of rebirth.
The advantage of holding the mantra is that the mantra is a mantra to save all living beings. If the man who holds the mantra sincerely recites this mantra, according to the Pure Land, Amitabha will protect his head, and even prevent enemies from harming each other. , It can also let the person who holds the mantra enjoy the blessing of happiness.It is said that if you hold this mantra, you will be illuminated by the Buddha's light, everything will go smoothly, good luck, happiness and peace.
Therefore, those who recite this mantra will be happy in this world, extremely joyful, can eliminate all troubles, and can also be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha at the end of their lives. This is also the source of the name of the mantra.
The rebirth mantra is one of the ten small mantras in the "Morning and Evening Class Chanting Collection" by the disciples of the Pure Land.It is enshrined by all disciples because it can "pull out all karmic obstacles and get reborn in the Pure Land Dharani". Therefore, this mantra has at least the following three aspects.
Can remove all karma.
how to say?
Because all living beings have endless karmic obstacles from beginningless time, it is precisely because these karmic obstacles are difficult to eliminate that all living beings are trapped in the sea of samsara suffering and cannot be liberated.
Therefore, this karma is actually where all living beings cling to the myriad things in the world. That is to say, if all beings are still clinging to these myriad things, and if they still have thoughts or unreasonable thoughts about all things, then there are still karmic obstacles that have not been eliminated. Elimination means that you are still bound by the illusion of all things in the world and cannot escape the suffering of samsara.
Therefore, chanting and holding the mantra itself has the effect or benefit of getting rid of karma.
Reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the West.
It is one of the core contents of this mantra that one can be reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the West by reciting the Mantra of Rebirth. Then, why can one be reborn in the Pure Land by reciting the Mantra of Rebirth?
According to the Mahayana classics, for the vast majority of people, rebirth in the Pure Land is actually something after death.
But in fact, this is not the case, because some people can also go to the Pure Land when they are alive. For example, in the classic record, Nagarjuna Bodhisattva vowed to be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss, and the dream inspired Amitabha to teach the mantra of rebirth. This is the original origin of this mantra.
That is to say, if the scriptures are not mistaken, Nagarjuna Bodhisattva arrived in the Pure Land while he was alive. In addition, according to the Pure Land School, it is said that Master Huiyuan, the first ancestor of the Pure Land, once said that he had seen Amitabha Buddha three times in his life. See also Western Paradise.
Dharani means the true words of Buddha or Bodhisattva, pay attention, it is true words and not false words, why do you say it is true words?Because a Buddha or a Bodhisattva is a person who has truly understood the truth of life in the universe.
Therefore, what they say is true and not empty, unlike unenlightened sentient beings whose thinking is reversed, accepting the false as the real, and taking the emptiness as it exists.
The rebirth mantra is the mantra taught by the Buddha, and Qin Shushu has no obstacles when he recites it.
As a student of liberal arts class, and has been with Fakong for so long, the Rebirth Curse can't trouble him at all.
So when he recited the mantra, all the gods and Buddhas in the sky also began to recite the rebirth mantra, and the Sanskrit sound flourished all of a sudden!
After reading it, the Buddha could not help but praise.
"It's really a person who has a big choice. Tang Sanzang is worthy of being my chosen one to learn Buddhist scriptures from the West!"
The Tathagata Buddha was indeed very satisfied.
His requirements for Tang Sanzang are actually not high.
Naturally there are requirements not to kill and not to break the precepts, but it is also to consider the image of Tang Sanzang and Buddhism.
If he killed and ate meat all the way, who would still believe in his Mahayana Buddhism?
As for women.
If he stayed in one place, would he still have a chance to take the West Classic and go back?
After all, life is short, and Tang Sanzang's time is not much.
Avalokitesvara looked at the Five Uncovered Truths, and all the Five Uncovered Truths smiled wryly.
The Buddha has already recognized Tang Sanzang, what else dare they say?
Although the Five Uncovered Truths are highly valued and trusted by the Tathagata Buddha, if he understands to slap him in the face, the Tathagata Buddha may not be happy either.
On the other hand, Qin Shushu here, although he ordered the chicken for Monkey King in name, might he not eat it?
Not only eat, but also eat less!
I ate until I burped and gasped for air, only then did I realize something was wrong.
It seemed that he was only paying attention to eating himself, and didn't take care of the old man's mood.
Seeing the old man looking at him eagerly, he seemed to feel a little embarrassed, after all, he ate a chicken and then took out a tael of silver.
"This is the meal money, the old man will take it!"
At the peak of the Tang Dynasty, one tael of silver could be converted into 2000 to 4000 yuan.
In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, a small official who was an official in the Tang Dynasty was at the ninth rank, and his monthly salary was 9 Shimi.The Tang Dynasty under the treatment of Emperor Taizong of Zhenguan was relatively strong.
At that time, the price of a bucket of rice was 5 Wen, and 1 tael of silver could be converted into 1000 Wen at that time.Furthermore, 1 stone of rice is approximately equal to the current 59 kilograms of rice, and 1 stone of rice is equal to 10 buckets of rice.
也就是说1斗米等于5.9千克。而5.9千克的米在那个时候的价值是5文钱。而现在的大米的价格也不过是2.5元1千克。
Calculated in this way, 1 penny at that time was worth about 2.95 yuan now.
Then one tael of silver is 2950 yuan.
However, during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, the price of rice also increased.The price of rice has also risen to 1 renminbi for a bucket of rice, so a tael of silver has also changed accordingly.
But rice was also very expensive at that time.
For example, the current market price of unpalatable old rice is about 2.5 yuan per catty, second-grade soft rice is about 3 yuan, high-quality soft rice is about 4 to 5 yuan, and the price of better quality is even higher. .
In short, if calculated according to the medium, each kilogram of rice is about 8 yuan. According to this calculation, a bucket of rice in the Tang Dynasty is equal to 5.9 kilograms, 5.9×4=23.6 yuan, and a bucket of rice is about 23 yuan today.
So buying two chickens for one tael of silver is really too much.
The old man waved his hands again and again, as if he was a little afraid of Yinzi.
"No holy monk! The little old man can't afford it, it's too expensive!"
Qin Shushu naturally had nothing to cherish about these silver coins.
After all, he couldn't eat a few meals here, so why keep so much money?
After he left, Tang Sanzang continued to beg for food as he wanted, and it had little to do with him.
However, seeing the old man's resistance, Qin Shushu couldn't let him accept it. He glanced at the chickens in the yard, licked his lips, and looked like he still hadn't finished.
"How about this, you look for some change, as much as you have, it's really hard to find, tomorrow we will take a chicken away!"
The old man wiped the sweat from his brow.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Qin Shushu suggested.
"Wukong, let's just rest here for the night? We'll talk about it when we wake up tomorrow."
"Master, my grandson listens to you."
Qin Shushu understood very well now.
In this journey to the west, there are not a few people who pay attention to themselves, and there are even some powerful people.
If he messed up rashly, he would definitely be noticed by them, but don't worry too much, he now has a powerful thug Sun Wukong by his side, as well as the Mantian gods and Buddhas of Buddhism, it is impossible to watch him die.
As for these messy catastrophes, they are just going through the motions.
What else can live forever after eating Tang monk meat? Isn't this just bullshit?
Tang Seng himself has longevity, so why can he live forever after eating a bite of his meat?
How big is that bite?
A small mouthful is a big mouthful?
If it is a small bite, does it mean that the mosquito will live forever if it is bitten by a mosquito?
So it's pure nonsense!
Besides, those goblins are cultivated into human form, don't they have the ability to distinguish right from wrong?
To say that there should be something in the world that can make you live forever after eating a bite, but it is definitely not his meat.
In addition to the rumored monk meat, there are still several other methods.
Of course, those methods may not really be able to achieve true immortality.
One is ginseng fruit, the other is Laojun elixir, and the third is flat peach.Compared with flat peaches, one or two are too troublesome.According to the original description, the yield of ginseng fruit is very small, and it takes a long time to mature. There are only thirty ginseng fruits in 1 years, and they are still firmly occupied by earth immortals.
Although Laojun's elixir can also prolong life, the yield is also low, and it cannot be practiced all the time.
Eating flat peaches is a shortcut to immortality, and whether the effect of flat peaches is immortality or increasing the lifespan depends on the quality of the flat peaches.
The number of flat peach trees is limited, and there are only 3000 trees after calculation. Every 6000 trees are divided into a grade, and the maturity years of each grade are 9000, [-], and [-] years.
The 9000-year-old flat peach is the most powerful. Ordinary people can live as long as the sun and the moon after eating it, that is, they are truly immortal.The 3000-year-old and 6000-year-old flat peaches, although ordinary people can become immortals after eating them and greatly prolong their lifespan, they cannot truly achieve immortality.
Otherwise, why are the gods in the heavens old and young?
In addition to this, there are really several other ways to live forever.
Qin Shushu thought of several strange methods, but he didn't know if they were true or not.
Drink white dragon horse urine.
I thought that Bai Longma was the most low-key person among the five masters and apprentices, but I didn't expect his urine to have the same effect as Tang Seng's meat!
No.60 Nine Chapters "Heart Lord Practices Drugs at Night to Discuss Demons and Evils at the King's Feast".
Wukong wanted to treat the king of Zhu Ziguo, he needed the white dragon horse to urinate, but the white dragon horse refused to urinate at the beginning, and even said such a thing to Wukong.
"If I pee across the water, the fish in the water will eat Jackie Chan. If I pee over the mountain, the grass in the mountain will get the smell and turn into a ganoderma, and the fairy boy will pick it for longevity. How can I just throw it away in this mundane place?"
Therefore, Bailong horse urine also has the merit of longevity, if you drink it regularly, you will live forever.
Birthday jujube.
Shou Xing Shou Xing, the representative of longevity, of course his jujube is also the magic medicine of immortality!
No.70 Nine Chapters "Looking for Caves, Catching Demons, Meeting the Old Shou, and Rescuing Babies", the king of the Bhikkhu Kingdom was confused by the deer spirit and the fox spirit, but unexpectedly, the deer spirit was the mount of the birthday star, and the birthday star helped After subduing the monster, the king knelt down and begged for good medicine, and Shou Xing smiled.
"There are only three jujubes in my sleeve, which I offered tea to Emperor Donghua. I haven't eaten them yet, so I'll give them to you now."
The king swallowed it, and gradually felt that his body was light and sick, and those who gained longevity all came from this place.
The king took advantage of it, and he lived forever because of it!
The last one is to eliminate the dead registration.
This is a bit more difficult, first of all, you have to go to hell to do it.
In the third chapter, "The Four Seas and Thousand Mountains Are Subdued by the Nine Nethers and the Ten Types of Extinction", Wukong made a big disturbance in the Netherworld in his dream and forcibly eliminated his death records. After waking up, he told the monkeys.
"It was I who showed my supernatural powers and yelled all the way to Senluo Hall, quarreled with the ten kings, and read our life and death books, but if there are names like mine, I will tick them off, and I will not be under the jurisdiction of that fellow."
The monkeys kowtowed to thank them.
Since then, there are many mountain monkeys who are not old, because the Yin Division has no name.
So in this way, there should be many ways to live longer!
Can't those goblins wait to eat Tang Monk's meat every day?
Is it bad to drink Xiaobailong urine?
It's enough to drink more water, pee all the way, those goblins will live forever, everyone is happy!
Furthermore, there are still many goblins who are the mounts of some Bodhisattvas and gods.
How could they die?
If they don't die, they should also find a way to make them die, let them go down to the realm to intercept Tang Seng, and either let Monkey King beat him to death with a stick, or take them back.
Taoists can keep their hands, as for Buddhists, go to death!
Sometimes the truth is so deliberate, Qin Shushu just thinks about it casually, and there are too many loopholes.
It's just that Tang Sanzang, Monkey King and others are in the middle of the game, so it's hard to see through the situation!
But Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha have seen a lot of clues, but they tend to be undercover. Before, only Monkey King was the stupidest!
Before eating tigers, I was able to justify myself. That's because the tigers were killed by themselves. These chickens are alive and kicking, and they haven't caused any trouble. It doesn't seem unreasonable to kill them.
In short, it is outrageous!
But looking at those green vegetables, he really couldn't swallow them.
As a last resort, Qin Shushu reminded again.
"Old man, is this dish a bit vegetarian?"
The old man looked at him puzzled, shouldn't monks be vegetarians?
"I see that there are quite a lot of chickens in your house, and no one eats them, right? I have some money here."
The old man understood immediately, and stared at Qin Shushu dumbfounded, and then at the silver in his hand.
Qin Shushu couldn't help coughing lightly, and immediately used Monkey King as a cover.
"Wukong, do you want to eat chicken?"
Sun Wukong nodded his head.
"My grandson naturally wants to eat."
After being under the mountain for 500 years, he has already forgotten what meat is like, let alone want to eat chicken, he even wants to eat this old man now.
If it wasn't for the fact that the old man had helped him, and he needed to endure the journey all the way west, he would have been impatient now!
To be honest, how much endurance is a monkey?
Even if it becomes refined, there is still a limit!
So after hearing what Qin Shushu said at this moment, it couldn't help being moved.
After Qin Shushu found the reason, he immediately opened his mouth and said.
"Old man! My apprentice wants to eat, can you make it easier for me?"
When Qin Shushu pointed at Monkey King, it was obvious that this was not what he wanted to eat, but what Monkey King wanted to eat.
How powerful is this reason?
After pondering for a while, the old man had no choice, what's more, he would return the money, wouldn't he?
I had no choice but to go out with a knife to kill chickens.
I just raised two chickens like this, and I don't want to eat them, but it's cheaper for others!
At the same time, this was also the first time he saw monks eating meat.
"Amitabha, old man, you are a great kind person!"
Qin Shushu immediately proclaimed a Buddha name.
Wufang Jiedi returned to Lingshan to return to his life. They felt that Tang Sanzang was very strange. He didn't look like a monk at all, but like a rascal.
For 500 years, they have been guarding Sun Wukong.
The monkey suffered down there and they had to stay with it too.
"Buddha, Sun Wukong has been rescued by Tang Sanzang and is heading west."
Tathagata rejoices.
"Very good, very good!"
As long as they abide by the rules of the Westbound Road, Buddhism will surely prosper.
Guanyin Bodhisattva tilted his head to remind him.
"Buddha, why don't you see what Tang Seng is doing?"
The Buddha didn't understand why Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said that, but he obeyed and waved his hands.
Qin Shu appeared clearly in the mirror.
In the mirror, Tang Sanzang was catching chickens all over the yard. He looked so busy and eager that Buddha's eyes were about to pop out!
"This"
Just as the Buddha and Mantian gods and Buddhas were astonished to the point of extreme astonishment, Qin Shushu finally caught the rooster, and then said compassionately.
"Wukong! My teacher finally caught this chicken for you. In this way, you can make up for the deficiency in your body, and then go all the way west to get the scriptures."
"Rooster, rooster, I will go to hell if I kill, but who will go to hell if I don't go to hell? In order to learn the great cause, I have to go to hell!"
The old man was very moved.
"Holy Monk, let the old man do the killing! If you recite a scripture about transcending life for him, his life will not be in vain, and he may even ascend to heaven!"
Tang Xuanzang nodded, then handed the rooster to the old man, and began to read solemnly.
"Namo Amida Poye, Dotagata Ye, Dodi Yeta, Amitabha, Amitabha."
There are various mantras in Buddhism, such as the Six-Syllable Great Ming Mantra, the Great Compassion Mantra, the Nian Zhun Ti Mantra, the Obscene King Kong Mantra, and the Buddha Ding Zun Sheng Mantra.
The real reason why these mantras are important is that they record and pass on the mantras of Buddhas or Bodhisattvas. For the inheritance of Buddhism, mantras are actually another kind of inheritance. This kind of inheritance has gone beyond the superficial level of language and writing. Directly pointing to the essence of Buddhism, mantras have been regarded as the most extraordinary method by eminent monks throughout the ages.
Because of its superiority, most people cannot understand the true meaning of its mantras, that is to say, mantras cannot be understood by people who are not of superior wisdom. Therefore, mantras are often called secret methods. The so-called secret is not a secret that is not passed on, but a meaning that is difficult for most people to understand or interpret. Sometimes it can even be said that mantras are not a method in the world.
Therefore, all mantras are very special, and the rebirth mantra is no exception.
So, what does the mantra say?
In fact, the full name of the Rebirth Mantra is "Pull out all karmic obstacles to be reborn in the Pure Land Dharani Sutra". This mantra is one of the most frequently recited mantras by the followers of the Pure Land Sect. It is said that the method of holding the Rebirth Mantra is to purify the three karma , That is, body, speech and mind are all pure, including bathing, rinsing mouth, being sincere and single-minded, burning incense in front of the Buddha, kneeling and clasping palms, and reciting 21 times each day and night. Such concentration can be regarded as holding the mantra of rebirth.
The advantage of holding the mantra is that the mantra is a mantra to save all living beings. If the man who holds the mantra sincerely recites this mantra, according to the Pure Land, Amitabha will protect his head, and even prevent enemies from harming each other. , It can also let the person who holds the mantra enjoy the blessing of happiness.It is said that if you hold this mantra, you will be illuminated by the Buddha's light, everything will go smoothly, good luck, happiness and peace.
Therefore, those who recite this mantra will be happy in this world, extremely joyful, can eliminate all troubles, and can also be reborn in the Western Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha at the end of their lives. This is also the source of the name of the mantra.
The rebirth mantra is one of the ten small mantras in the "Morning and Evening Class Chanting Collection" by the disciples of the Pure Land.It is enshrined by all disciples because it can "pull out all karmic obstacles and get reborn in the Pure Land Dharani". Therefore, this mantra has at least the following three aspects.
Can remove all karma.
how to say?
Because all living beings have endless karmic obstacles from beginningless time, it is precisely because these karmic obstacles are difficult to eliminate that all living beings are trapped in the sea of samsara suffering and cannot be liberated.
Therefore, this karma is actually where all living beings cling to the myriad things in the world. That is to say, if all beings are still clinging to these myriad things, and if they still have thoughts or unreasonable thoughts about all things, then there are still karmic obstacles that have not been eliminated. Elimination means that you are still bound by the illusion of all things in the world and cannot escape the suffering of samsara.
Therefore, chanting and holding the mantra itself has the effect or benefit of getting rid of karma.
Reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the West.
It is one of the core contents of this mantra that one can be reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the West by reciting the Mantra of Rebirth. Then, why can one be reborn in the Pure Land by reciting the Mantra of Rebirth?
According to the Mahayana classics, for the vast majority of people, rebirth in the Pure Land is actually something after death.
But in fact, this is not the case, because some people can also go to the Pure Land when they are alive. For example, in the classic record, Nagarjuna Bodhisattva vowed to be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss, and the dream inspired Amitabha to teach the mantra of rebirth. This is the original origin of this mantra.
That is to say, if the scriptures are not mistaken, Nagarjuna Bodhisattva arrived in the Pure Land while he was alive. In addition, according to the Pure Land School, it is said that Master Huiyuan, the first ancestor of the Pure Land, once said that he had seen Amitabha Buddha three times in his life. See also Western Paradise.
Dharani means the true words of Buddha or Bodhisattva, pay attention, it is true words and not false words, why do you say it is true words?Because a Buddha or a Bodhisattva is a person who has truly understood the truth of life in the universe.
Therefore, what they say is true and not empty, unlike unenlightened sentient beings whose thinking is reversed, accepting the false as the real, and taking the emptiness as it exists.
The rebirth mantra is the mantra taught by the Buddha, and Qin Shushu has no obstacles when he recites it.
As a student of liberal arts class, and has been with Fakong for so long, the Rebirth Curse can't trouble him at all.
So when he recited the mantra, all the gods and Buddhas in the sky also began to recite the rebirth mantra, and the Sanskrit sound flourished all of a sudden!
After reading it, the Buddha could not help but praise.
"It's really a person who has a big choice. Tang Sanzang is worthy of being my chosen one to learn Buddhist scriptures from the West!"
The Tathagata Buddha was indeed very satisfied.
His requirements for Tang Sanzang are actually not high.
Naturally there are requirements not to kill and not to break the precepts, but it is also to consider the image of Tang Sanzang and Buddhism.
If he killed and ate meat all the way, who would still believe in his Mahayana Buddhism?
As for women.
If he stayed in one place, would he still have a chance to take the West Classic and go back?
After all, life is short, and Tang Sanzang's time is not much.
Avalokitesvara looked at the Five Uncovered Truths, and all the Five Uncovered Truths smiled wryly.
The Buddha has already recognized Tang Sanzang, what else dare they say?
Although the Five Uncovered Truths are highly valued and trusted by the Tathagata Buddha, if he understands to slap him in the face, the Tathagata Buddha may not be happy either.
On the other hand, Qin Shushu here, although he ordered the chicken for Monkey King in name, might he not eat it?
Not only eat, but also eat less!
I ate until I burped and gasped for air, only then did I realize something was wrong.
It seemed that he was only paying attention to eating himself, and didn't take care of the old man's mood.
Seeing the old man looking at him eagerly, he seemed to feel a little embarrassed, after all, he ate a chicken and then took out a tael of silver.
"This is the meal money, the old man will take it!"
At the peak of the Tang Dynasty, one tael of silver could be converted into 2000 to 4000 yuan.
In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, a small official who was an official in the Tang Dynasty was at the ninth rank, and his monthly salary was 9 Shimi.The Tang Dynasty under the treatment of Emperor Taizong of Zhenguan was relatively strong.
At that time, the price of a bucket of rice was 5 Wen, and 1 tael of silver could be converted into 1000 Wen at that time.Furthermore, 1 stone of rice is approximately equal to the current 59 kilograms of rice, and 1 stone of rice is equal to 10 buckets of rice.
也就是说1斗米等于5.9千克。而5.9千克的米在那个时候的价值是5文钱。而现在的大米的价格也不过是2.5元1千克。
Calculated in this way, 1 penny at that time was worth about 2.95 yuan now.
Then one tael of silver is 2950 yuan.
However, during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, the price of rice also increased.The price of rice has also risen to 1 renminbi for a bucket of rice, so a tael of silver has also changed accordingly.
But rice was also very expensive at that time.
For example, the current market price of unpalatable old rice is about 2.5 yuan per catty, second-grade soft rice is about 3 yuan, high-quality soft rice is about 4 to 5 yuan, and the price of better quality is even higher. .
In short, if calculated according to the medium, each kilogram of rice is about 8 yuan. According to this calculation, a bucket of rice in the Tang Dynasty is equal to 5.9 kilograms, 5.9×4=23.6 yuan, and a bucket of rice is about 23 yuan today.
So buying two chickens for one tael of silver is really too much.
The old man waved his hands again and again, as if he was a little afraid of Yinzi.
"No holy monk! The little old man can't afford it, it's too expensive!"
Qin Shushu naturally had nothing to cherish about these silver coins.
After all, he couldn't eat a few meals here, so why keep so much money?
After he left, Tang Sanzang continued to beg for food as he wanted, and it had little to do with him.
However, seeing the old man's resistance, Qin Shushu couldn't let him accept it. He glanced at the chickens in the yard, licked his lips, and looked like he still hadn't finished.
"How about this, you look for some change, as much as you have, it's really hard to find, tomorrow we will take a chicken away!"
The old man wiped the sweat from his brow.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Qin Shushu suggested.
"Wukong, let's just rest here for the night? We'll talk about it when we wake up tomorrow."
"Master, my grandson listens to you."
Qin Shushu understood very well now.
In this journey to the west, there are not a few people who pay attention to themselves, and there are even some powerful people.
If he messed up rashly, he would definitely be noticed by them, but don't worry too much, he now has a powerful thug Sun Wukong by his side, as well as the Mantian gods and Buddhas of Buddhism, it is impossible to watch him die.
As for these messy catastrophes, they are just going through the motions.
What else can live forever after eating Tang monk meat? Isn't this just bullshit?
Tang Seng himself has longevity, so why can he live forever after eating a bite of his meat?
How big is that bite?
A small mouthful is a big mouthful?
If it is a small bite, does it mean that the mosquito will live forever if it is bitten by a mosquito?
So it's pure nonsense!
Besides, those goblins are cultivated into human form, don't they have the ability to distinguish right from wrong?
To say that there should be something in the world that can make you live forever after eating a bite, but it is definitely not his meat.
In addition to the rumored monk meat, there are still several other methods.
Of course, those methods may not really be able to achieve true immortality.
One is ginseng fruit, the other is Laojun elixir, and the third is flat peach.Compared with flat peaches, one or two are too troublesome.According to the original description, the yield of ginseng fruit is very small, and it takes a long time to mature. There are only thirty ginseng fruits in 1 years, and they are still firmly occupied by earth immortals.
Although Laojun's elixir can also prolong life, the yield is also low, and it cannot be practiced all the time.
Eating flat peaches is a shortcut to immortality, and whether the effect of flat peaches is immortality or increasing the lifespan depends on the quality of the flat peaches.
The number of flat peach trees is limited, and there are only 3000 trees after calculation. Every 6000 trees are divided into a grade, and the maturity years of each grade are 9000, [-], and [-] years.
The 9000-year-old flat peach is the most powerful. Ordinary people can live as long as the sun and the moon after eating it, that is, they are truly immortal.The 3000-year-old and 6000-year-old flat peaches, although ordinary people can become immortals after eating them and greatly prolong their lifespan, they cannot truly achieve immortality.
Otherwise, why are the gods in the heavens old and young?
In addition to this, there are really several other ways to live forever.
Qin Shushu thought of several strange methods, but he didn't know if they were true or not.
Drink white dragon horse urine.
I thought that Bai Longma was the most low-key person among the five masters and apprentices, but I didn't expect his urine to have the same effect as Tang Seng's meat!
No.60 Nine Chapters "Heart Lord Practices Drugs at Night to Discuss Demons and Evils at the King's Feast".
Wukong wanted to treat the king of Zhu Ziguo, he needed the white dragon horse to urinate, but the white dragon horse refused to urinate at the beginning, and even said such a thing to Wukong.
"If I pee across the water, the fish in the water will eat Jackie Chan. If I pee over the mountain, the grass in the mountain will get the smell and turn into a ganoderma, and the fairy boy will pick it for longevity. How can I just throw it away in this mundane place?"
Therefore, Bailong horse urine also has the merit of longevity, if you drink it regularly, you will live forever.
Birthday jujube.
Shou Xing Shou Xing, the representative of longevity, of course his jujube is also the magic medicine of immortality!
No.70 Nine Chapters "Looking for Caves, Catching Demons, Meeting the Old Shou, and Rescuing Babies", the king of the Bhikkhu Kingdom was confused by the deer spirit and the fox spirit, but unexpectedly, the deer spirit was the mount of the birthday star, and the birthday star helped After subduing the monster, the king knelt down and begged for good medicine, and Shou Xing smiled.
"There are only three jujubes in my sleeve, which I offered tea to Emperor Donghua. I haven't eaten them yet, so I'll give them to you now."
The king swallowed it, and gradually felt that his body was light and sick, and those who gained longevity all came from this place.
The king took advantage of it, and he lived forever because of it!
The last one is to eliminate the dead registration.
This is a bit more difficult, first of all, you have to go to hell to do it.
In the third chapter, "The Four Seas and Thousand Mountains Are Subdued by the Nine Nethers and the Ten Types of Extinction", Wukong made a big disturbance in the Netherworld in his dream and forcibly eliminated his death records. After waking up, he told the monkeys.
"It was I who showed my supernatural powers and yelled all the way to Senluo Hall, quarreled with the ten kings, and read our life and death books, but if there are names like mine, I will tick them off, and I will not be under the jurisdiction of that fellow."
The monkeys kowtowed to thank them.
Since then, there are many mountain monkeys who are not old, because the Yin Division has no name.
So in this way, there should be many ways to live longer!
Can't those goblins wait to eat Tang Monk's meat every day?
Is it bad to drink Xiaobailong urine?
It's enough to drink more water, pee all the way, those goblins will live forever, everyone is happy!
Furthermore, there are still many goblins who are the mounts of some Bodhisattvas and gods.
How could they die?
If they don't die, they should also find a way to make them die, let them go down to the realm to intercept Tang Seng, and either let Monkey King beat him to death with a stick, or take them back.
Taoists can keep their hands, as for Buddhists, go to death!
Sometimes the truth is so deliberate, Qin Shushu just thinks about it casually, and there are too many loopholes.
It's just that Tang Sanzang, Monkey King and others are in the middle of the game, so it's hard to see through the situation!
But Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha have seen a lot of clues, but they tend to be undercover. Before, only Monkey King was the stupidest!
