Chapter 1316 Loving leisure, hating work, and empty talk about sutras

Half an hour later, Xitian, Daleiyin Temple.

The Tathagata Buddha with a full head of meat sits cross-legged on the nine-grade lotus platform.

Xuanzang, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, the three masters and apprentices, carefully explained what happened after Ling Feng's arrival, and then said: "The Emperor Ziwei's behavior is obviously intended to prevent the spread of Buddhism to the East. How should we deal with it? Down!"

Tathagata Buddha said: "I did it over there. You go to Nanzhan Buzhou, prepare a large-scale Dharma meeting, invite many Buddhist disciples to the scene, and talk about the Tripitaka. If he shows up to stop it, I will take action!" "

He is one of the five elders, and his status in the theory of heaven is not as good as that of Emperor Ziwei, the four emperors. Naturally, it is impossible to fight in the heaven and let Emperor Ziwei hand over Sun Wukong.After all, the monkey head made mistakes first, and he made it clear that if he went, he would not come back.It's better to simply change an excuse.

Xuanzang immediately nodded yes, and continued to return to the Great Chu of China with his two apprentices.

Immediately, he summoned the monks all over the world with the body method of the new presiding officer of the White Horse Temple, and prepared to hold a large-scale Buddhist Dharma meeting.

The White Horse Temple is the ancestral home of Buddhism in China, so it is naturally famous, and with the support of two famous Buddhist monks, Shemo Teng and Zhu Falan, it immediately aroused huge repercussions, and Buddhist disciples from all over the world gathered in Baima, Luoyang temple.

Seven days later, the White Horse Temple officially held a Dharma meeting. Xuanzang gave a lecture on the Tripitaka on the high platform, while Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing stood aside to protect the Dharma.

The Tripitaka is divided into the "Dharma" and one collection, Tantian. "On" a collection, said ground. A collection of "Sutras", saving ghosts, can untie knots of grievances, eliminate innocent disasters, save death and relieve suffering.

There are tens of thousands of monks watching in the temple, including many masters and eminent monks from temples all over the world.Hearing Xuanzang's lecture on the scriptures, everyone showed joy on their faces, as if they had a great understanding.

At this moment, a group of elite guards dressed in black armor rushed quickly. These guards were imperial palace guards, and they all had the lowest cultivation level of King Wu, and soon surrounded the place.

The surrounding monks all changed their expressions when they saw the palace guards, and they all gave way.

At this time, Xuanzhuang stopped preaching, looked at the head of the guards, and said: "I am here to preach the scriptures, and I have not violated the law. Why are you here?"

The head of the guard took out a yellow imperial decree and read: "You don't have to worry, we are here not to arrest you, but to announce the imperial decree promulgated by Your Majesty today. The first article of the Great Chu law states that all Buddhist temples shall be named All fields must be paid on time and taxes must be paid on time, and all monks must be registered. Article [-]. Temples must not use the name of incense money to deceive people's money. Article [-]. Monks who have all their hands and feet are not allowed to beg for alms. Arrested and imprisoned. Article [-]: If a monk holds a Dharma meeting, the imperial court must send someone to supervise him to prevent the spread of treasonous remarks.”

The guards had just finished reading, and there was an uproar immediately. The complexions of all the eminent monks and virtuous men changed drastically, and they talked a lot, and they no longer had the detached demeanor of the past.

In ancient times, why so many tenant farmers brought their fields to the temple, of course, it was because the fields of the temple were exempted from taxation.Therefore, those large temples often have tens of millions of fertile fields in their names, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing.It is also because of this that those who can't make it through often become monks, even if they are a novice novice, at least they can earn a living.

But once this article is cancelled, I don't know how much tax I have to pay every year!There are also the second and third articles, each of which is cutting off the foundation of Buddhism.If there is no way of making a living, such as incense money, alms for alms, and all monks have to go to the fields to do farm work, who has time to talk about it, to preach scriptures?

And as these policies spread all over the world, which family's children dare to become monks?These four policies are obviously aimed at digging out the foundation of Buddhism, and it is a strategy to destroy Buddhism!

Xuanzang naturally noticed it too, but he was watching the situation with his eyes and nose and his heart.He believed that these monks would never allow such a law to be enforced.

Sure enough, an old monk with gray hair immediately said: "I am nearly eighty years old, if I don't ask for alms, how can I make a living?"

"That's right! If you don't collect incense money, how can you build a golden body for the Buddha? Without the golden body of the Buddha, how can you protect the people?"

"The fields of our Buddhist temples have been tax-free since the Han Dynasty. How can you change the rules of your ancestors!"

A famous monk said one after another.

At this time, the leader of the guards said in a deep voice: "Silence!"

His voice was like thunder, shaking people's hearts, and all the monks didn't dare to speak anymore.

Immediately, the right servant She Kuaiyue led the people into the temple, stared at the white-browed old monk first, and said coldly: "You are eighty years old, and you should have children and grandchildren to support you and enjoy the family happiness. However, you are greedy for the welfare of the temple and do not think about making progress. You love leisure and hate work, so naturally you don’t have money to marry a wife and have children. The so-called unfilialism has three major problems: having no offspring is the greatest. Your today’s results are all caused by past causes. Therefore, you deserve today’s end!”

"However, God has the virtue of being good at life. If you are willing to reform, the imperial court will give you a job without worrying about food and clothing."

After Kuai Yue finished speaking, he looked at the other monks and said, "As for you, you have hands and feet, don't you know how to support yourself? Farming and vegetable cultivation, and saving the souls of the dead are your skills for making a living. What's the difference between a beggar on the street?"

At this time, Xuanzang said: "Everyone, since the Great Chu Emperor wants to destroy my Buddhist sect, all monks can bow down to the west with the poor monks, praying for the Buddha to show his spirit and relieve this crisis!"

A group of monks suddenly realized and kowtowed to the west one after another: "Now the emperor is in a daze, deceived by villains, and wants to destroy Buddhism. Wanwang Buddha will show his spirit and save hundreds of millions of Buddha children! We must recite sutras devoutly day and night, and offer incense and tribute to Buddha."

After a group of monks kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, a golden light suddenly appeared in the west. In the golden light, a golden Buddha Dharma appeared, which was extremely majestic.

All the monks immediately looked overjoyed and kowtowed to the Buddha one after another.In their minds, since the Buddha appeared, there must be no need to worry about the four strategies to destroy the Buddha.

Even a group of palace guards, under the Buddha's light, are compassionate and tend to kneel down.

At this time, Kuai Yue said coldly: "Guards, follow me to the north to salute, respectfully invite the Emperor Ziwei of the Zhongtian North Pole to come down to the world!"

Immediately, a group of guards followed Kuai Yue and kowtowed to the north. After three kowtows and nine kowtows, purple clouds appeared in the sky. Dressed in a purple robe, the majestic Emperor Ziwei suddenly appeared.

Kuai Yue looked overjoyed, knelt down and saluted and said: "The old minister welcomes His Majesty to the world!"

The guards also kowtowed and saluted. This is not only Emperor Ziwei, but also the Supreme Emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty. How could he be disrespectful.

Now those Buddhist monks were dumbfounded, and Emperor Ziwei also showed his sanctity. If Emperor Ziwei wins, wouldn't they still have to pay taxes and go to work in the fields?
At this time, the Tathagata Buddha stared at Emperor Ziwei and said: "Sakyamuni came here at the invitation of the emperor, and asked the emperor to fight and defeat the Buddha!"

Ling Feng laughed and said, "Why did the emperor say that when the Buddha came, he would release Wukong? Monks don't tell lies, the Buddha broke the precepts!"

What he said was that if you want to save Monkey King, let Tathagata come in person.
