Legend of Huanglong Fengshen

Chapter 108 Avalokitesvara sells cassocks

As soon as Guanyin arrived in Chang'an.Mu Zha and Hui An walker turned into scabbed monks.

At this time, Tang Wang Li Shimin was holding the Ten Thousand Monks Conference, and the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi Tang Sanzang stood out.Li Shimin was overjoyed and called Sanzang to come and ask him to preside over the water and land meeting.This water and land conference will be held for seven days.

On the fifth day, Guanyin saw that the time had come.The two of them, Mu Zha and Mu Zha, turned into scabbed monks, holding cassocks and tin staffs in their hands, and peddled loudly along the street.

Someone came to ask the price, and Guanyin said loudly, "The cassock is worth 5000 taels, and the tin staff is worth 2000 taels." Everyone on the street laughed when they heard this, "These two skinny monks are madmen and fools! 7000 taels of silver? It’s not worth that much unless you wear it to live forever and become a Buddha! Take it and sell it!”

Avalokitesvara did not argue, just peddling loudly.

The sound of hawking was transmitted directly to Li Shimin, king of the Tang Dynasty, by Guanyin's supernatural power. Li Shimin wondered, "How can the sound of hawking along the street reach me? It must not be easy. Go and bring this man who sells cassocks and tin rods."

The scabbed monk they transformed into was taken to Tang Wang Li Yuan, and Li Shimin asked, "How much is your cassock worth?"

Avalokitesvara replied, "The cassock is 5000 taels, and the tin staff is 2000 taels." Li Shimin asked, "What is the benefit of the cassock, so it is worth a lot?"

Avalokitesvara smiled, "This cassock is covered with a strand of dragons to avoid the calamity of the big Peng silkworms; and a strand of cranes is hung with it, so that it is wonderful to go beyond the ordinary and become holy. But where you sit, there will be worship of all gods; every move, there will be seven Buddhas with you. This cassock is made of ice. Silkworms practice drawing silk, skillful craftsmen writhe into threads. Fairies weave, goddesses machine into. Square clusters of embroidery stitches, pieces of each other pile up brocade.

The mysterious light shines outside the three-day gate, and the precious energy is born in front of the Five Sacred Mountains. The passionflower is re-embedded, and the hanging pearls are burning like stars. There are night pearls on the four corners, and a grandmother in the top Green. Although there is no full photo of the original body, there are also eight treasures of light. This cassock is folded in leisure time and worn by saints. Folded in leisure time, it is wrapped in thousands of layers of rainbow. Only worn by saints, it will alarm the gods and ghosts in the heavens Afraid.

Li Shimin, the king of the Tang Dynasty, was very happy when he heard the words in the treasure hall, and asked, "The monk, what are the benefits of the nine-ring stick?"

Avalokitesvara said, "My tin rod is made of nine rings inlaid with copper, and the nine-section fairy vines will stay forever. When I start it, I am tired of looking green and thin, and I go down the mountain and return it with white clouds. Mohe, the fifth ancestor traveled to Tianque, and Luo Bu found his mother and broke the ground. Close. Don't be stained with mortal dust and filth, and I like to accompany the monk on Yushan."

Li Shimin unfolded the cassock according to his orders, and when he looked carefully from the top, it was indeed a treasure.He said, "Elder Dafa, to tell you the truth, I am now opening up good teachings and widely planting fields of blessings. I held a meeting of ten thousand monks, and there was a virtuous person among them, whose Dharma name was Xuanzang. I bought these two treasures from you and gave them to him for his use." What is your asking price?"

Avalokitesvara laughed and said, "Since he is virtuous, the poor monk is willing to give him away, and he will never ask for money."

Li Shimin wondered, "You originally said that the cassock cost 5000 taels and the tin staff cost 2000 taels. When you saw that I wanted to buy them, you didn't need any money. How dare you say that my heart depends on the throne and wants your things? It's even more unreasonable. I will offer you the original price." compensation, but cannot be avoided.”

Avalokitesvara said: "The poor monk has a wish first. It was originally said that if someone respects the Three Jewels and rejoices when he sees good things, he will take refuge in my Buddha and don't need money. I would like to give it to him. Now I see that your majesty is virtuous and good, and respects my Buddhism. Besides, the eminent monk has virtue If you have the right to spread Dafa, you should give it as a gift, and you will never ask for money. The poor monk would like to keep this thing and return it."

Seeing that Guanyin said so, Li Shimin, king of the Tang Dynasty, no longer forced himself.As ordered, Guanglu Temple arranged a vegetarian banquet to reward.

Avalokitesvara smiled unbearably and walked away.After Avalokitesvara left, she thought silently: I am very familiar with this Tang Wang Li Shimin, as if I have seen it somewhere.Thinking of this, Guanyin used a trick to look at Li Shimin carefully.

After watching it for a while, it was hazy and unclear, so Guanyin patted the top.Three flowers appeared, and the three flowers circled each other, releasing three streams of fresh energy to wrap around Li Shimin's body.Li Shimin didn't know it.Avalokitesvara saw three streams of fresh air entwined around Li Shimin's body, and lightly shouted "Disease!"

Li Shimin's previous life directly appeared in Guanyin's mind, Guanyin looked at it and said, "It turned out to be him!" and drifted away!

But he said that Li Shimin got these two treasures and sent people to Xuan Xuanzang to enter the court.

After arriving, Li Shimin said, "Water and Land Conference, to prove good deeds, there is no reward for the master. In the morning, I greeted the two monks. I would like to send a cassock of brocade bats and rare treasures, and a tin staff with nine rings. Now I specially call the master to take them for use." Xuanzang kowtowed to thank him.

Li Shimin said again, "Master, if you don't want to give up, you can put it on and let me have a look."

Xuanzang shook off the cassock according to the order, put it on his body, held a tin staff, and stood in front of the steps.This Xuanzang also has delicate features, and he wears this cassock: he is dignified and majestic, and his face is elegant and elegant, and the Buddha clothes are as stylish as he is.The radiance is so bright that it fills the universe, and the festoons condense the universe one after another.

Langlang pearls are arranged up and down, with layers of gold threads running through the front and back.There are brocades on all sides of the pocket, and all kinds of rare things are embroidered.Eight-treasure makeup and flower-bound button silk, gold ring collar and velvet buttons.The size of the Buddha sky is ranked high and low, and the astrology is divided into high and low.Master Xuanzang has a great destiny, and now this thing is bearable.It is like a living arhat in bliss, and it is better than the Western Zhenjuexiu.The tin stick is clanging against the nine rings, and the Pilu hat is so rich.Sincerely being a disciple of the Buddha is not false, it is better than Bodhi without deceit.

Li Shimin, the king of the Tang Dynasty, was overjoyed to see him. He put on cassocks, held a treasure staff, and gave two teams of ceremonial servants. He sent many officials out of the court and taught him to walk on the street and go to the temple. Boasting officials in general.

Time flies like an arrow, and it is the last day of the Land and Water Conference.Xuanzang also made a statement, asking the king of Tang to offer incense.Li Shimin, the king of the Tang Dynasty, immediately went to the temple with many civil and military officials, concubines and relatives.He also ordered the people in that city, no matter how big or small, to listen to the lectures at Juyi Temple.

On the stage, Xuanzang recited the Sutra of Surviving Life and Death for a while, talked about Anbang Tianbao Zhuan for a while, and proclaimed the Volume of Encouraging Cultivation for a while.

Avalokitesvara turned into an old monk, patted the precious platform and shouted sharply, "Then monk, you can only talk about Hinayana teachings, can you talk about Mahayana?"

Xuanzang was overjoyed when he heard the words, turned over and jumped off the stage, saying, "Teacher, my disciple has lost sight and committed many crimes. All the monks I saw before me are all teaching the Hinayana teachings, but they don't know what the Mahayana teachings are like?"

The old monk transformed by Avalokitesvara said, "Your Hinayana teachings can't save the dead from exaltation, but can only be muddy and light. I have the Tripitaka of Mahayana Buddhism, which can surpass the dead to ascend to heaven, save the difficult from suffering, and cultivate the body of infinity. There is no coming and no going." At the moment of the speech, the inspector of the incense hall hurriedly played Tang Wang Li Yuandao, "The master was talking about the magic method, but he was pulled down by two scabrous wandering monks to talk nonsense."

After Li Shimin ordered them to be captured, many people pushed the two monks into the back hall.Seeing Taizong, the monk couldn't hold his hands up, and he didn't even bow, he looked up and said, "What is your Majesty asking me?" But Tang Wang recognized him and said, "Are you the monk who gave the cassock the day before yesterday?"

Avalokitesvara said, "That's right." Taizong said: "Since you come here to listen to the lecture, you should just eat some fasting. Why talk nonsense with my master, disrupt the scripture hall, and miss my Buddhist affairs?"

Avalokitesvara said, "Your master teaches the Hinayana teachings, and the dead cannot be saved from ascending to heaven. I have the Tripitaka of Mahayana Buddhism, which can save the dead from suffering, and the body will not be destroyed."

Li Shimin, king of the Tang Dynasty, asked seriously, "Where does your Mahayana Buddhism lie?"

Avalokitesvara said, "In Daleiyin Temple, Daxi Tianzhu Kingdom, my Buddha Tathagata is here. It can solve the knot of a hundred grievances and eliminate the disaster of nothing." Tang Wang Li Shimin said, "Do you remember?" Avalokitesvara said, "I remember." Tang Wang Li Shimin Overjoyed, he said, "Teacher lead me away, please come to the stage and give a lecture."
