Journey to the West: Interpretation and Teaching Disciples

Chapter 139

Nanzhan Buzhou Kongtong faction stationed.

At this time, it has been a month since Zhang Xing returned to the Kongtong faction. During this month, because of Zhang Xing, the atmosphere of the Kongtong faction has changed a lot. After seeing this result, Zhang Xing also decided to start his own plan. up!
During this month, Zhang Xing also learned what time it is through the Kongtong faction!It is already the Tang Dynasty!And Taizong has succeeded to the throne, and this year happens to be the first year of Zhenguan.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xing had to act quickly, because it was recorded in Journey to the West that Tang Seng began to travel westward in the third year of Zhenguan.

So after staying in the Kongtong faction for a period of time, Zhang Xing flew to the human country on Nanzhan Buzhou in the cloud.When he came to Nanzhan Buzhou once, Zhang Xing couldn't help but think of what he had done in Nanzhan Buzhou before. Maybe 1 is not what it is now.

As soon as Wei Wei thought about it, Zhang Xing came to Chang'an, the capital of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty in a blink of an eye.Zhang Xing didn't want to be seen by ordinary people, so he used an invisibility method, and slowly landed in a forest outside the city.

As soon as Pu landed, Zhang Xing tidied up his clothes and walked towards Chang'an City not far away.Because of the relationship between the Eighteenth Warrior Monk saving King Qin, Li Shimin still supported Buddhism for the sect, so Taoism did not live very well during Li Shimin's period, but Li Shimin did not suppress Taoism too much, so when I saw Zhang Xing dressed as a Taoist At that time, the soldiers guarding the city let Zhang Xing into the city without making things difficult.

Just when Zhang Xing entered Chang'an City, this incident related to Journey to the West also happened on Lingshan Mountain in Xitian.

It is said that since Tathagata suppressed Sun Wukong, he was left by the Jade Emperor to hold an Antian Conference. After the meeting, he returned to Xitian Lingshan and talked about Buddhism to his disciples.

"All sentient beings. Come from no beginning. Birth and death are continuous. All of them are ignorant of the permanent true mind. The nature is pure and clear. Use all kinds of delusions. This idea is not true. Therefore, there is reincarnation. Now you want to study the supreme Bodhi. Really discover the nature. You should My question is straightforward. Tathagatas of the ten directions. Because of the same way. They are separated from life and death. They all have a straight heart. The heart speaks straight. This is the case to the end and the beginning. There will never be any twists and turns in between."

"I have heard the Tathagata's Dharma sound. I understand my heart. I actually live outside the body. So what is it? For example, a light is burning in a room. The light must be able to illuminate the room first. From the door of the room, and then to the court. All sentient beings. I don't see the inside of the body. I only see the outside of the body. It's like a light. I live outside. I can't illuminate the room. The meaning must be clear. There will be no confusion. I will understand the meaning with the Buddha. I will have no delusions."

One day, the Tathagata who was preaching suddenly paused, then pinched his fingers to do some calculations, and glanced at the Buddha, Bodhisattva, Arhat, and Bhikkhu present.Then he said: "I use the profound prajna to observe the three realms. The fundamental principle, after all, is still and extinguished. It is the same as the void, and there is nothing. Killing the monkey, it is something that cannot be understood. It is called the beginning of life and death, and the law is like this." After finishing speaking, release the relic. There are 42 white rainbows in the sky, connecting the north and the south.When the public saw it, they took refuge in worship.In a short time, the clouds and mist gathered to celebrate, climbed to the lotus platform, and sat down.

Hearing what the Tathagata said, everyone asked why, and the Tathagata told the Buddhas about his surrender to Monkey King beforehand.

After the Tathagata finished speaking, he suddenly took out a pot and said to the Buddhas, "It's Mengqiu Wangri today. I have a treasure pot with hundreds of strange flowers and thousands of different fruits in it. I will share it with you." Ullambana, how about it?" All the Buddhas naturally praised.However, the Tathagata took the flowers and fruits in the treasure basin, held them firmly with Anuo, and spread them with Kasyapa.The public is grateful, and each presents a poem to express their gratitude.

All the bodhisattvas have finished offering.Because I ask Tathagata to clarify the root and explain the source and flow.The Tathagata opened his mouth slightly, explained the Dafa, and preached the righteous fruit. What he talked about was the wonderful scriptures of the three vehicles and the "Surangama" of the five aggregates.But seeing the dragon surrounded that day, the flowers and rain are colorful.It is exactly: the Zen mind shines brightly on the thousand rivers and moons, and the true nature is clear and encompasses thousands of miles of sky.

Let’s talk about it, and said to everyone: “I look at the four major continents, the good and evil of all living beings are different from each other: those who conquer the Shenzhou in the east respect the heavens and the earth, and have a refreshing mind; It's just because of subsistence, clumsy nature and lack of love, I don't practice much; I, Xiniu Hezhou, don't be greedy or kill, nourish energy and potential spirit, although it is true, everyone can live forever; Kill more and fight more, just like the so-called fierce field of tongue, right and wrong sea. Now I have the Tripitaka, which can persuade people to do good."

All the Bodhisattvas joined their palms and took refuge after hearing the words.Ask the Buddha: "Which Tripitaka is there?" The Tathagata said: "I have the Dharma, one collection, talk about the sky; discuss one collection, talk about the earth; one scripture, save ghosts. There are 35 copies of the Tripitaka, which should be 140. Thousands of [-] volumes are the scriptures of cultivation and the door of righteousness. I will send them to the east, but I will not tolerate the stupidity of the people there, slander the truth, do not know the essence of my method, and neglect the authenticity of yoga. How can I get one For those who have the power, go to the east to find a good believer, teach him to go through thousands of mountains, inquire through thousands of waters, come to me to ask for the truth, pass it on to the east forever, and persuade all living beings, but it is a great fortune. Shanqing. Who is willing to go through it?"

As soon as the Tathagata finished speaking, a voice said: "World Honored One, my disciple is not talented, and I am willing to go to the Eastern Tang Dynasty to find a Buddhist scripture learner!"

All the Buddhas followed the sound and saw that the man was perfecting the four virtues and his golden body was full of wisdom.The tassels hang with pearls and emerald greens, and the fragrant rings knot Baoming.The dark clouds are cleverly stacked in a dragon bun, and the embroidered belt is light and colorful phoenix feathers.The jasper button and the Suluo robe are shrouded in auspicious light;The clean bottle of nectar is abundant every year, and the weeping poplars are inserted obliquely every year.It is the famous Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Seeing that there were some thoughtful Bodhisattvas behind Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Buddha stopped talking!Seeing Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Tathagata said happily: "I can't go to anyone else, but the Venerable Guanyin, who has great supernatural powers, can go there."

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva asked Tathagata, "I am going to the Eastern Land. What is the World Honored One's order?"

Tathagata said: "This time, you have to step on the road and look at the road. You are not allowed to walk in the middle of the sky. It must be half cloud and half fog; look at the mountains and rivers, remember the distance of the journey, and remind the person who learns the scriptures. But I am afraid that good faith will be difficult to follow. You and I have five treasures." Then, Tathagata ordered Anuo and Kasyapa to take out a collar of "Beautiful Cassock", a "Nine Ring Tin Staff", and three "Golden Hoops".

After delivering the things, the Tathagata said: "The cassock and tin staff can be used personally by those who learn the scriptures. If you are willing to come here, wear my cassock and avoid reincarnation; hold my tin staff and you will not be poisoned. The three Golden hoops are called 'tight hoops'. Although they are the same and three, they are used in different ways. I have three incantations of 'golden, tight, and forbidden'. If you encounter a magical monster on the road, you must persuade him Learn well, and become an apprentice with the person who learns the scriptures. If he doesn't obey, you can put this hoop on his head, and the flesh will naturally take root. Each chant according to the mantra used, the eyes are swollen, the headache is cracked, and the head is cracked. Discipline He came through my door."

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva saw that Tathagata had finished giving orders, so he led Hui'an Xingzhe with him. Hui'an Xingzhe was Nezha's second elder brother, but now he worshiped Avalokitesvara's disciples, which makes the iron rod heavy.

The Bodhisattva then wrapped the brocade cassock and ordered him to carry it.The Bodhisattva hid the golden hoop, took the tin stick, and went down to Lingshan.
