Super Prestige System

Chapter 286 Chapter [-]: Golden Chanzi

The Land and Water Conference was successfully held, and Tang Monk came into the sight of King Tang.

At this time, Tang Seng was not called Tang Seng or Tang Sanzang. Now he has no Dharma name and only has a lay name: Chen Yi (yī).

Chen Yi was originally the second disciple of the Tathagata who sat down, and his body was an insect from the prehistoric period: the golden cicada, which has been proving the Tao for thousands of years.

There is a well-known saying in Journey to the West: "If you eat Tang's monk meat, you can live forever!" '

Although this sentence is absurd, it is not groundless.

The meat of golden cicadas does have the effect of prolonging life.

500 years ago, after Tathagata suppressed the monkeys, he began to select people who traveled to the West.

Who to send down to earth?
If people with low cultivation levels are sent into samsara, they will easily lose their Buddha nature.

Once you lose your Buddha nature, it is not easy to bring back the Buddha way.

And people with high cultivation bases, no one is willing to go!
These people have gone through tens of thousands of years, tens of thousands of years of hard training, and many have gone through millions of years, or even tens of millions of years of hard training. Who is willing to give up their cultivation?
No one is willing!
If it is persecuted by force, once it provokes the anger of the public, maybe they will unite with other Buddhas to overthrow their position.

There is not only one Tathagata Buddha in Buddhism, but also the ancient Buddha who burned lamps in the past and the Maitreya Buddha in the future.

Therefore, you can only choose someone who has high cultivation and is easy to handle.

After much deliberation, Tathagata thought of Jin Chanzi.

Golden silkworm seeds are very suitable.

For one thing, Jin Chanzi doesn't like to make friends and doesn't have many friends. If he is demoted to the world, there won't be too many people who will stand in for him.

Second, once Jin Chanzi dies, everyone can eat Jin Chanzi's body to increase their longevity.

All the gods know: if you don't become a saint, you will end up as an ant!
Even if you have a life span of millions of years, tens of millions of years, or even tens of millions of years, if you don't become a saint, your life span will eventually run out.

Why is everyone willing to participate in the Peach Festival?
It is precisely because: eating flat peaches can increase life expectancy.

Compared with flat peaches, the effect of eating golden cicadas is better,
Everyone has been greedy for Jin Chanzi's meat for a long time!
Jin Chanzi was kind and kept a low profile. Tathagata never found Jin Chanzi's fault.

As a last resort, Tathagata found an excuse to 'scorn Buddhism'!

What is contemptuous of Buddhism?

If you recite the scriptures quickly, I can tell you that you are dealing with business and are contemptuous of the Buddhadharma.

If you recite the scriptures slowly, I can say that you are absent-minded, which is considered to be contemptuous of the Buddhadharma.

If you recite neither fast nor slow, I can still say that you have not lost your mind, and you are still contemptuous of the Buddhadharma.

If you want to add a crime, why don't you have any trouble?
Jin Chanzi was demoted to the mortal world because of his contempt for Buddhism.

poor?

This is not pitiful!
The body of Jinchanzi is an insect, with a small body and a limited amount of meat, which is only enough for high-level Buddhists to eat.

Others also want to eat, what should I do?

Someone came up with an idea:
There are still hundreds of years before the Journey to the West plan, so we can let Jin Canzi reincarnate a few more times!
To die once is to die, to die twice is also to die, so what does it matter if you die a few more times?
Someone said: Forget it, after Jin Canzi was reincarnated, the effect of meat was greatly reduced.

Most people replied: Some food is better than nothing, right?

Therefore, every time Jin Chanzi was reincarnated, when he was a teenager, someone would lure him to go to the Western Paradise to pray to Buddha and pray for scriptures.

Every time he came to Liusha River, Jin Chanzi would be killed by Sha Wujing.

As the executioner who killed Jin Chanzi, Sha Wujing's reward was: a head.

Jin Chanzi's limbs and body were shared by Buddhists.

When Tang Seng accepted Sha Wujing as his disciple, the necklace of skeletons on Sha Wujing's neck was made from the heads of Jin Chanzi's previous ninth lives.

On the way to learn the scriptures, why did Sha Wujing keep silent? He felt guilty!

……

On this day, Chen Yi was ordered by the king of the Tang Dynasty to explain the "Exhortation to Xiu Gong Juan" for the monks participating in the Water and Land Conference, as well as the civil and military officials of the court.

Everyone is hearing the good news...

"Ha ha ha ha……"

A discordant laugh interrupted Chen Yi's speech.

Everyone followed the reputation and saw two monks, one old and one young, coming to the podium. The old monk said: "Little monk, what you talk about is only Hinayana Buddhism, why don't you talk about Mahayana Buddhism?"

Chen Yi stood up, saluted and said: "This teacher, father, you are being polite. Our monks in the east are all learning Hinayana Buddhism. Poor monks really don't know Mahayana Buddhism?"

The old monk laughed: "I heard that this water and land conference is for the salvation of the dead in the underworld. Unfortunately, your Hinayana teachings can only be pure and simple, and cannot save the dead. I have the Tripitaka of Mahayana Buddhism, which can surpass the dead and ascend to heaven." , can save people from suffering, can cultivate the body of immeasurable life, can do things that never come and go, can undo the knot of a hundred injustices, and can eliminate innocent disasters..."

The king of Tang Dynasty was overjoyed and asked: "Old monk, I wonder where the Mahayana Buddhism you mentioned is now?"

The old monk replied: "Da Leiyin Temple in the Western Heaven, where my Buddha Tathagata came from."

The king of Tang asked again: "Can the old monk know Mahayana Buddhism?"

The old monk nodded gently.

Tang Wang said happily: "Please invite the old master to come to the stage and give a lecture."

The old monk came to the stage, his tongue was full of lotus blossoms, his eloquence flowed like a river, and his witty words were endless, and everyone who spoke directly was mesmerized.

After the old monk finished speaking, he woke up from his ecstasy and drunkenness, and everyone suddenly discovered that: those who are sick will get better immediately, those who are injured will be cured immediately, and those who are depressed will already have clear thoughts...

Even the withered old peach trees in the garden sprouted new buds and bloomed peach blossoms, full of vitality.

When the King of Tang Dynasty was about to step forward to talk to the old monk, the old monk suddenly rose into the sky and appeared in the sky.

The king of Tang Dynasty was surprised and delighted. He led the civil and military ministers, monks, nuns and lay people, as well as the people watching the excitement, to kneel down, burn incense and bow to the sky.

The auspicious clouds of the Bodhisattva drifted away, and a golden postcard fell in midair, with a few large characters written on it:

Courtesy of the Lord of the Tang Dynasty, there are wonderful writings in the West.The journey is one hundred and eight thousand miles, and the Mahayana is diligent.

This scripture returns to the kingdom of Shang, which can surpass ghosts and go out of groups.If there are those who are willing to go, seek the golden body of Zhengguo.

The king of Tang couldn't help but asked the monks, "Who is willing to accept my order and go to the west to worship Buddha and ask for sutras?"

Chen Yi stepped forward to salute: "The poor monk is not talented. I would like to go to the west to seek the scriptures. I pray that my king will last forever."

The king of Tang stepped forward to help Chen Yi, and said happily: "Master is not afraid of long journeys, and is not afraid of trekking mountains and rivers. I would like to become brothers of the opposite sex with you."

Chen Yi was moved and said: "I have received so much love from you, and there is nothing to repay it. Today, the poor monk made a great vow: I will not return it if I don't go to the west!"

……

On the day of Chen Yi's westward journey, the king of Tang was seeing him off at Shili Pavilion in the west of Chang'an City.

Tang Wang asked: "Does Yudi have a dharma name?"

"Hasn't the poor monk ever taken a dharma name?"

Tang Wang suggested: "The Bodhisattva said that there is a Tripitaka of Mahayana Buddhism in the Western Paradise. I will refer to the scriptures and take the name for you. How about calling it 'Tripitaka'?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I use the name of the country to give my younger brother a surname, surname Tang, Tang Sanzang!"

Tang Sanzang was born!

The king of the Tang Dynasty ordered someone to bring a purple gold alms bowl, a customs clearance document, and a white horse instead. He also ordered someone to bring a glass of water and wine and handed it to Tang Sanzang.

Tang Seng declined and said: "Alcohol is the first Buddhist precept, poor monks don't know how to drink alcohol!"

The King of Tang shook his head and said: "Today is a special time to say goodbye. This is plain wine. This is just one cup to express my farewell!"

Tang Monk had no choice but to obey the order. When he was about to drink, Tang Wang said again: "Slow down!" After that, he picked up a few grains of dust from the ground and sprinkled it into the wine glass! "
