Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 558 The Debating Machine Comes
These words are obviously too sophisticated.Obviously he wanted to see if Master Ren Tang Seng had any real skills.

Yang Xiaoran watched from the side, secretly complaining in his heart.

Li Xiaoer, Li Xiaoer, if you bully Master like this, the Elder Brother will come to you.

A master is a master.Yang Xiaoran was in a hurry to get angry here, but Master Xuanzang was calm and composed, sitting steadily, with a compassionate smile on his face, clasped his hands together, and chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, Your Majesty is so loyal and merciful." The courtier. All dharmas in the world are inseparable from the original heart. Joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are all appearances, which are to express the dharma. As long as you understand this, you will naturally have a wide world in your heart. No bad."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "How can we ordinary people be like the master? Born in this world, we will have troubles in the world, and we will never be free. If we are at home, how can we be free?"

"Guanzi..."

Xuanzang said with a smile: "The heart of happiness and troubles all come from the heart. When sadness arises, one can observe freedom; , it is self-purified; when it is self-nature, it does not arise and die; when it is self-nature, it is self-contained; when it is self-nature, it is unshakable; when it is self-nature, it can give birth to all dharmas...""

Then he chanted the Buddha's name again, and said: "Guan Zizai Bodhisattva has practiced the deep prajna paramita for a long time. I can see that the five aggregates are all empty, and I can overcome all hardships. Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, and emptiness is not different from form. Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form. , Receiving thought and knowing, and the same is true. Shariputra, it is the empty appearance of all dharmas, neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor clean, neither increasing nor decreasing..."

"That's why there is no color in the air, no thoughts, no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, colorless sound, fragrance, vision, even unconsciousness. There is no ignorance, and there is no end of ignorance. Exhaustion. There is no suffering, no wisdom and no gain. With no gain, Bodhisattva, according to Prajna Paramita, has no hindrance to the heart, no hindrance, no terror, far away from reversed dreams, and Nirvana. The Buddha, according to Prajna Paramita, has attained anuttara-samyak-sambodhi..."

Yang Xiaoran's eyes lit up!

This is the "Heart Sutra" translated by Master Xuanzang!

This is the version passed down from generation to generation!It not only contains profound Buddhist teachings, but also expounds the principles of the world, which will greatly inspire an ordinary person.True Buddhism has never been about superstition, but a kind of profound self-cultivation, which cultivates a person's magnanimity and non-attachment attitude.

Excessive attachment to desires is ignorance; excessive attachment to gains and losses will produce hatred and greed.Therefore, an ordinary person usually reads the Heart Sutra and understands its meaning, which is of great help to improve his personality.

It also helps you maintain peace of mind.When the mood is cheerful, you see everything is sunny.The pain comes from one's mind that is easy to care about. Once the care is broken, how can there be so much pain when letting go of obsessions?
Xuanzang began to talk about this classic slowly, and a group of people were fascinated by it.Li Shimin's eyes became very deep, and sometimes he would frown, as if he was thinking about something.

This person who doesn't believe in Buddhism or belief seems to be inspired at this moment.Or maybe it's because I'm getting older, thinking of the sins I have done, listening to this generation of eminent monks and great virtues preaching, the knots in my heart are slowly rising and slowly being untied, right?

It was not until noon that Xuanzang finished speaking.Li Shimin couldn't help admiring: "Master is worthy of being an eminent monk who can enjoy a high reputation in Tianzhu. I am very relieved that such a great sage is for me in Tang Dynasty."

After a pause, he continued: "Today I can listen to the master preaching the Dharma and preaching this Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra. Three lives are very lucky."

After finishing speaking, he laughed, "It has given me a lot of inspiration, thank you Master."

"Amitabha."

Xuanzang clasped his palms together and bowed, saying, "It's all about the compassion of the Buddha, and the little monk has no merit."

Li Shimin laughed and said: "Master, the wind and dust all the way, it's very hard for us to explain the scriptures to the secular people just after entering the door. I have asked someone to prepare a vegetarian banquet to clean up the wind and dust for the master. Let's start the banquet. .”

"The poor monk couldn't help being entertained by His Majesty, thank you Your Majesty."

All the Su Zhai were personally asked by Yang Xiaoran.Things like onion, ginger and garlic cannot be put in.In addition, all vegetable oil is used.Monks have their own rules, and they must respect the teachings of others.

A group of civil and military courtiers who usually eat fish and meat all day long, after being taught by Master Xuanzang, they also think that the taste of this vegetarian meal is quite good.Unfortunately no wine.Today, His Majesty intends to celebrate the emergence of such a talent in the Tang Dynasty, so naturally he must abide by the teachings of Buddhism, fasting and vegetarian, and not drinking alcohol.

But there is no wine but there is tea, and I can listen to Xuanzang's experience along the way, and there is always applause when I hear the highlights; when I hear the thrills, I secretly sweat for Xuanzang.

Listening to the wind of the Western Regions and Tianzhu, I feel yearning again.Li Shimin nodded again and again when he heard this, and suddenly said: "I think the master's poetry is elegant and virtuous, and he is not only worthy of the ancients, but also goes further. I also feel that you are worthy of being sent by the public. Why don't you return to the vulgar and come to help me Mundane business?"

Xuanzang paid his respects and said: "Your Majesty appreciates it, and the poor monk is honored. It's just that Xuanzang seldom practiced the monastery and buried himself in Buddhism and Taoism. Xuanzong is a practice, and Confucianism has never been heard. Today, sending him to follow the vulgar is no different from taking advantage of the stream." If the boat makes people abandon the water and land on the land, not only is it useless, but it will also lead to corruption. I would like to practice the Tao all my life to repay the kindness of the country. Xuanzang is very fortunate."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xuanzang to refuse so simply.Some did not give up and continued: "I would like to promise you a high-ranking official and generous salary, so that you will be able to conspire with the government."

"Thank you for your majesty's kindness. But the poor monk has decided his heart towards the Buddha. He keeps the precepts and preaches the legacy. This is his wish. I hope your majesty will fulfill it."

Just like rejecting King Rongri, Xuanzang was firm and unmoved by worldly fame and wealth, only thinking about translating Buddhist scriptures and promoting Buddhism.

Li Shimin opened his mouth, looked at Yang Xiaoran who was giggling there, and fell silent.It took a while before I couldn't help laughing.

"What a Xuanzang! Good! Good! Good! Don't be fooled by fame and wealth, and become a generation of eminent monks and great virtues!"

After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "Xuanzang accepts the order!"

"I ordered you to devote yourself to translating Mahayana Buddhist scriptures from Tianzhu and writing about the Western Regions. When the Da Ci'en Temple is completed, you will be the host."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Xiaoran watched from the side, clearly seeing the unwillingness in Li Xiaoer's eyes.

All I want to do is to spit out some words for Master Tang Seng.

It was not easy when he was gone; now that he is back, you, the old man, want to return him to vulgarity.

Tsk tsk... You don't believe in Buddhism. You just listened to the scriptures for a while, and even if you got some inspiration, it was only a temporary gain. Why do you still want to have a national teacher by your side?

Didn't his old man talk about this with others?
In Li Xiaoer's view, he only advocates the rule of culture, and believes that Buddhism is not beneficial to the world.In the second year of Zhenguan, he said that the courtiers said that Emperor Wu of Liang and his son were good at Buddhism, but the country was ruined and the family was destroyed. We should learn from it.

Later, he publicly declared in the court: "The only thing I like today is the way of Yao and Shun, and the teaching of Zhou and Confucius."

At this moment, he has been asking Tang Seng to return to vulgarity, obviously he has other thoughts.

But as an emperor, he was right to do so.

As an emperor, you always think more.If things like that of Emperor Wu of Liang were to happen, the Dharma would change.Instead, it hurts the people.

It's just that after Xuanzang came back, he wanted to get rid of the rulers of the Tang Dynasty all his life, and he couldn't get out of Chang'an again, and his eyes dimmed.

Others don't know, but she does.

Xuanzang just wanted to translate the classics quietly, but didn't want to be an official.But Li Shimin and Li Zhi kept asking him to return to vulgarity. In the end, he refused to go back to his hometown Shaolin Temple to translate, and finally passed away in Chang'an.

Looking at Li Xiaoer's appearance, he is clearly dissatisfied!I want to continue to harass Master Tang Seng, but I don't know where the elder brother is?Come and accept Li Xiaoer!

This calculation is temporarily over.Li Shimin planned to come up with a long-term strategy, and he was confident that his emperor's art would definitely influence this master to his own use, so the atmosphere behind him was very harmonious.

Hearing what Xuanzang said about his experience in the Western Regions was quite interesting.The banquet lasted until the evening, and it didn't end until very late.It can also be said that the host and guest had a good time.

On the second day, Xuanzang returned to Beijing with the emperor's carriage.He was welcomed by the monks of the major temples in the capital, and they handed out olive branches one after another, hoping that Xuanzang could go and give them lectures.

It is inevitable for newspapers to report on such things that give the Chinese people face.For a time, the name of Xuanzang spread throughout Kyushu, and more monks set off to Chang'an to witness the virtuous demeanor of a generation of eminent monks.

Because Xuanzang wanted to translate classics, the major temples also began to select talents.A man named Bian Ji was selected into Xuanzang's translation field at the age of only 26, which caused a sensation again.

But when Bian Ji's name came to Yang Xiaoran's ears, he suddenly thought of something.

Princess Gaoyang, who married Fang Yiai a few years ago, is now 16 years old, which is the age of a young girl in late spring.And although Fang Yiai has an awesome father, Fang Xuanling, who is versatile in both literature and martial arts, Fang Yiai is proficient in both literature and ink, so he can only do things with sticks and fists on weekdays, and he has developed a strong martial arts.

It stands to reason that such a person, not to mention arrogance, is at least a straightforward person.But this Fang Yiai obviously has a strong martial arts, but he is very cowardly.

But there is still a secret in Gao Yang's heart: to marry a man is to marry a man like Li Ke.It was an indescribable longing that surpassed the relationship between brother and sister.

When she found out that she was going to marry Fang Yiai, she didn't know how many times she cried.But Li Shimin finally married her to Fang Yiai.

When the big and round Fang Yiai timidly walked into the wedding room, Gao Yang began to compare him with his elder brother in his heart.Who is Li Ke?How can Fang Yiai compare to him in his literary talent and style?
All of a sudden, Gao Yang was desperate.

This strong man with a stupid face is his husband?

Simply unbearable!

In fact, there is prejudice.Officials in the Sui and Tang Dynasties all looked at their faces.Although Fang Yiai wasn't so handsome, she wasn't ugly either.

He came to the bridal chamber with an extremely excited and pious heart, but was abruptly rejected by the princess, who asked him to sleep in another room, which would make ordinary men lose their temper.

But Fang Yiai shed tears in a cheating manner.This is good, Gao Yang looks down on him even more.After being married for a long time, the two get along with each other in a strange manner.

Now the debate machine appears...

Yang Xiaoran suddenly felt that it was necessary to remind Li Chengqian of this matter!
