Chapter 1169

"This temple is full of filth, it should be cleaned up long ago..."

"Jin Yiwei is mighty! Lu Taibao is mighty!"

Chen Jingqi strolled alone in the street, frowning, thinking that her father was treating the daughter of a vassal king, but was being harassed by the other party, making the old Chen family restless. A fan monk escorted out, and the onlookers applauded.

Said to be foreign monks, a small number of them still maintain the appearance of Tibetan Buddhism in their attire, while most of them have changed their appearance. Some of them have fair skin, which is no different from that of Chinese monks.

It’s just that a pampered life can change your appearance and temperament, but it can’t restore your reputation. The people are naturally alarmed by such a movement. When it was discovered that the monks of the Da Ci’en Temple were arrested, only a small number of them were arguing and showing puzzled expressions, while most applauded stand up.

In other dynasties, the status of Buddhist temples is high, and the monks are respected. In the Tang Dynasty, when the inner guards escorted the Shaolin monks, they were blocked by the people, but this group of monks from the Great Mercy Temple committed murder at random. For evil, of course there are still loyal believers, whose reputation has long been ruined, and they are applauded when they are taken down by Jin Yiwei.

"Good! Good!"

Chen Jingqi was the one who was beaming and shouting the loudest.

Not only to join in the fun, but also because he also felt that this matter was done beautifully, and even the troubles at home were temporarily forgotten.

Tibetan Tantric Buddhism has always maintained the backward serf system, which was incompatible with the Central Plains Dynasty, and even dared to come to Daming to buy people. Chen Jingqi heard from the elders in the family that in times of famine, there were men and women sold in various places in Daming. In groups, the price is very cheap. Instead, the barbarians and monks used the silver rewarded by the imperial court to buy people along the way and take them out of the border as slaves.

It wasn't until the officials couldn't stand it anymore and felt that the matter was really out of character, so they bought it back with silver taels, and then banned the border customs, and the foreign monks were not allowed to take people out of the country...

Chen Jingqi hated the foreign monks very much, and was a little worried: "The backside of this monastery seems to be the protection of the Taoist celestial master. Jin Yiwei is now arresting people, it will not be thunderous and rainy. After a few days, they will be released again?"

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw seven or eight senior officials in the temple wearing cassocks chasing them out. The abbot, Master Zhong Jin, came to Zhu Si and clasped his hands together: "Amitu, may I ask the official, what happened to the monks in my temple? wanton arrests?"

Zhu Si did not explain, but asked instead: "Chinese monks often use 'Amitabha Buddha', but you and other foreign monks like to use 'Amitabha'. Why?"

Zhong Jindao: "'Amitabha' is translated from Sanskrit. It means the immortal medicine and the eternal Nirvana. It is the Buddha of Infinite Life.

The meaning of these words is that Amitabha is the same as Amitabha and Wuliangshou, only the translation is different, but Zhu Si picked out his ears: "It sounds weird, please correct it!"

Zhong Jin's eyes changed slightly, this is one of the characteristics of Tibetan Buddhism that is different from that of the Middle Earth, how could he act arbitrarily and show a strong backer: "Tao Tianshi once visited the Bi Temple to discuss Buddhism with the old monk, and he was very grateful to the 'Amiya Du' words are also praise..."

Zhu Si's face darkened: "You use Tao Tianshi to suppress me?"

Zhong Jin clasped his hands together with a clear attitude: "Amitsu!"

When he found out that he was surrounded by officers and soldiers, he immediately let his confidant disciples rush out from the back door, and rushed to the Celestial Master's mansion to ask for help. Presumably, even the arrogant and domineering Jin Yiwei was still afraid of that Divine Heavenly Master.

Zhu Si had a half-smile: "Okay, since Tao Tianshi has praised your Tibetan Buddhism, let's talk about it, what kind of good Dharma is it?"

Zhong Jin's eyes flickered, and he remained silent for a while, not knowing why this Feiyu, who was dressed in an embroidered spring knife and who could be seen as a high-ranking man in Jinyiwei, suddenly cared about the purpose of Tibetan Buddhism, he didn't dare to speak for a while.

Zhu Si's face darkened: "I've heard for a long time that the abbot of Daci'en Temple has a thorough understanding of Confucian classics. Every time he lectures on the Dharma, he is eloquent and eloquent. Now he keeps silent. Does he look down on me, Zhu Si?"

Zhong Jin was taken aback. Fan Seng couldn't afford to offend Jin Yiwei, let alone Lu Bing's confidant, the Thirteenth Taibao, and his attitude softened immediately: "It turned out to be Master Zhu, I'm disrespectful!"

Zhu Si waved his hand: "You don't need to respect me, just answer honestly!"

Zhong Jin had no choice but to say: "In the Saha world, all living beings are polluted, strong and difficult to transform, and have heavy karmic obstacles. Only by taking refuge in the Triple Gem can one escape samsara, climb Piling Mountain, and enjoy bliss forever..."

Zhu Sidao: "Talk about taking refuge in the Three Jewels carefully."

Zhong Jin said: "The three treasures are enlightenment, righteousness, and purity. When one's mind is based on enlightenment, one's desires are few and content, one can leave money and sex; one's own mind is based on righteousness, one has no wrong views in one's thoughts, and one has no greed and attachment. In the realm of love and desire, sex is untainted... If you practice this practice, you will be self-reliant!"

Zhu Si raised his brows: "'Jue, Zheng, Jing' sounds good, but how did I hear it was 'Buddha, Dharma, Sangha'?"

Zhong Jin said: "Buddhas are enlightened; Dharma is righteous; monks are pure. This is the same principle."

Zhu Si sneered: "But what I heard is not the case. You preached that the Three Jewels lie in 'Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha', especially the 'Sangha', which is the only one among the Three Treasures that can talk to the world. The true meaning needs to be elucidated by you.”

"Therefore, the 'monk' is the spokesperson of Buddhism in the world. You must worship and listen wholeheartedly, and obey the orders. For this reason, many people donate their family property in order to go to Lingshan. Such behavior is quite similar to that of the White Lotus Sect. !"

Zhong Jin's complexion changed completely: "Zhu Qianhu said carefully, we are Tibetan orthodox and have absolutely nothing to do with the White Lotus Cult!"

Just as he was talking, two Jin Yiwei escorted a monk and appeared: "Fourth Master, I've caught him. This person sneaked into Tao's mansion secretly, and wanted to tip off the news!"

Zhu Si got the evidence, and immediately yelled: "Sure enough, it is the Bailian demon, colluding with the Tao thief, plotting wrongdoing, distorting Buddhism, and bewitching Jin Yiwei in public, come here! Take down all these bandits and monks!!"

Zhong Jin's heart sank deeply, not only because of the other party's sudden turn of events, but also because of addressing Celestial Master: "Not good! Something happened to Tao Tianshi..."

Before he had time to think, Jin Yiwei, who was like a wolf like a tiger, had already rushed over and pressed him to the ground. The monk not far away was furious, and touched the saber at his waist, but he didn't dare to move rashly.

Because there are elite guards all around, aiming their bows and crossbows, if they resist a little, they must be shot on the spot, and they can only watch helplessly as all the eminent monks in the temple are also put into the prison car, turn around and arrest themselves, and the shock of the common people can be heard outside Day cheers.

Li Yan and Zhu Zhong were located in the main hall of the temple, and they couldn't help smiling when they heard the movement outside.

Zhu Zhongdao: "There are so many Buddhist disciples, good and bad are inherently mixed. Letting foreign monks do evil will ruin their reputation even more, and their hearts can be punished."

Li Yan nodded: "To rectify Buddhism, it's not just about arresting monks from a Buddhist monastery, it's about eradicating this evil atmosphere from the root... These offerings are quite interesting!"

Zhu Zhong followed his gaze and landed on the offerings on the table case.

Incense, flowers, lamps, fruits, food, treasures, paint, tea, beads, clothes.

This is the ten offerings of Buddhism.

Each of these ten offerings has a corresponding Buddhist meaning, such as incense, which is for peace of mind, and to learn more about magic, such as flowers, fresh lotus flowers, sala flowers, etc.

Li Yan mainly looks at four kinds of food: coating, fruit, tea, and food.

"Tu" is Sanskrit, which means water when translated into Chinese. Many regions in India have a tropical rainforest climate, which is prone to skin diseases. Local monks soak sandalwood in water and apply it on the skin to treat diseases. Over time, it has evolved into Buddhism. The "nectar" is like the nectar water in the jade bottle of Guanyin, which can remove disasters and cleanse dirt, and sprinkle poplar branches to moisten the scorched places.

"Fruit" is a fruit, which contains good cause and good intentions, so that you can get a good reward. "Tea" is more common in Buddhism. Monks are the first group to use tea to refresh their minds. "Food" is a wonderful food for meditation. , with vegetarian dishes, rice for the Buddha, is also the most common offerings.

Regarding the merits and virtues of offering food, it is clearly recorded in the "Buddha Says Karma Difference Sutra", "The ten merits of offering food and drink are: gaining life, gaining color, gaining strength, gaining peace without hindrance to debate, gaining fearlessness, and being free from all kinds of things." Slack, to be admired by all, to be loved by all, to be rewarded with great blessings, to live forever in heaven, and to quickly realize Nirvana."

The Buddha does not use mortal food, but this is the embodiment of the attitude of mortals, and it is a blessing.

Given the affluence of Da Ci'en Temple, it is not surprising that the ten offerings can be fully prepared. The strange thing is that these offerings are of extraordinary quality, and the "food" and "fruit" in them are even more brightly colored and fragrant, which are visible to the naked eye.

Zhu Zhong has practiced himself, and he is keenly aware of spirituality: "Buddhist spiritual food? Is it used to lure the envoy of the altar?"

Li Yan nodded: "It should be so."

Zhu Zhongqi said: "Such a trap...doesn't it seem too straightforward?"

Li Yan thought of that person's temperament: "Direct, but effective, there is an extremely hidden Buddhist power in this hall, which is mostly gathered in the confession case. I think the envoy of the altar has already visited, but fortunately, the trace is very faint. The source cannot be traced."

Zhu Zhong frowned: "But in this way, if we want to communicate with the messenger of the altar, we will be mistaken for a gang of thieves, right?"

"It's not difficult."

The corner of Li Yan's mouth was slightly raised, and with a flick of his sleeve, all the fruits enshrined by the fan monks disappeared in the golden plate for offering fruits, replaced by a huge and plump jujube.

The aroma didn't decrease but increased, Zhu Zhong grunted and swallowed subconsciously.

Facts have proved that the so-called longevity peach presented by Princess Wansheng is the hiding place of the dragon mother-in-law. The old dragon can get close to Jiajing and absorb the spirit of the secular emperor and real dragon. Jiajing can only look at Taozi, which is impossible Really shut up.

And now the jujube in Li Yan's hand is planted by seven ginseng dolls. When people smell it, they will have a feeling of lightness and health, eliminating illness and disease, and it is a real spiritual thing.

Zhu Zhong is not a delicious person, he always behaves like this, when the spiritual fruit is enshrined on the table, it has an unparalleled attraction.

So, just as Li Yan and Zhu Zhong left the Daxiong Palace, even before nightfall, the jade plate trembled slightly, and the date disappeared, as if there was a faint sound of smacking.

The envoy of the altar began to steal the offerings.
