Chapter 1612(1/2)
Even if there is any delicious food, he probably won't be able to eat it.
"Forget it, I'll do it next time." He said and praised again:
"Today's hot pot is really the best food in the world. It's an eye-opener for me. It's a worthwhile trip."
When Qin Ran saw this, he no longer wanted to stay.
My own advice helped pave the way for Li Shimin.
As for how to suppress Buddhism, it depends on him.
Under the escort of a group of eunuchs, Li Shimin walked out of the mansion.
Looking at the setting sun, thinking that as a secular emperor, he could now challenge Buddhism, Li Shimin felt proud and full of ambition.
With the sword and the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures in hand, he couldn't wait to see the Buddhist teachings in the court hall.
Li Zheng Palace, the queen's bedroom.
In front of a statue of Guanyin, a beautiful woman in light blue palace clothes was kneeling there, burning incense and praying.
This woman is none other than Queen Changsun.
At this moment, the Buddha's light suddenly flashed, and the figure of Guanxiao Bodhisattva suddenly appeared in the sky.
Empress Changsun was stunned for a moment, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, a look of shock appeared on her face, and she said:
"Buddha?"
Gods and Buddhas are existences that are superior to all living beings and never walk in the world.
She did not expect that Guanyin Bodhisattva would suddenly appear today.
Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded, confirming Empress Changsun's guess.
Is he really a Bodhisattva?
Queen Changsun was pleasantly surprised and said:
"I pay homage to the Bodhisattva. I just wonder if the Bodhisattva suddenly appeared in the palace today. What's the matter?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva went straight to the topic and said:
"Did you know that a few days ago, Tang San was guilty of studying for Buddhist scriptures and had nothing to do?"
Empress Changsun was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "I have heard a little bit about it."
Although she never asked about matters in the court,
But he still knew about this matter, and His Majesty still wanted to know about it because of this matter
It's not for the sake of harmony. It's because of this.
And got very angry.
Tang Sanzang was imprisoned for this.
Could it be said that Guanyin Bodhisattva came for Tang Sanzang?
Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed and said:
"Because Tang Sanzang failed to obtain the true scriptures, the Emperor of Tang became angry with Buddhism and wanted to demolish temples across the country and destroy Buddhism. Do you know this?"
Your Majesty actually wants to destroy the Buddha? When did this happen?
Queen Changsun was immediately shocked and said continuously:
"Bodhisattva, I have never heard of this, and Your Majesty has never had any disrespect towards Buddhism."
The Buddha is about to be destroyed, yet you still have no disrespect?
Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled bitterly.
It seems that Queen Changsun knew nothing about this matter.
"You don't have to be alarmed. I'm not here to blame anyone. I'm here to ask you to explain it to Emperor Tang and explain why. Maybe there is a misunderstanding about Buddhism."
Empress Changsun was stunned for a moment, feeling a little unbelievable.
His Majesty is about to destroy the Buddha, but the Bodhisattva does not blame him, but wants me to explain to him?
Why does this sound like a dream?
When did Your Majesty become so powerful?
Queen Changsun said:
"What does the Bodhisattva want me to explain? Please give me instructions.
Guanyin Bodhisattva said:
"Tang Sanzang did not abide by the rules and precepts and was contemptuous of Buddhism. He has been expelled from Buddhism long ago. Now he has no relationship with Buddhism. I also ask the king of Tang not to involve Buddhism because of his affairs."
"When the king of Tang was tied to his life by a ghost, and his soul wandered to the underworld, and his life was about to expire, it was all because of my Buddha's compassionate heart, and he was able to live for another two thousand years."
"You just have to explain this to him."
There was an expert behind Li Shimin's guidance, but she wasn't sure who it was.
Now we can only hope that the other party does not know all the inside story of Journey to the West.
Let Empress Changsun turn a deaf ear to it, confuse it a bit, and maybe it can dispel the other party's hatred of Buddhism.
After all, Empress Changsun was Li Shimin's bedfellow, so it would be much more effective for her to explain than to explain in person.
There are actually these things? Empress Changsun was very surprised, but she still nodded and agreed.
Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded and gradually disappeared. Just as he was about to leave the palace, he suddenly discovered that outside the palace gate, several eunuchs led several elderly monks in and headed towards the Tai Chi Hall.
Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly showed a look of doubt on his face
Tai Chi Hall is where Li Shimin handled political affairs
When these monks went there, Ji Shimin must have summoned Li.
But now Li Shimin has a very bad view of Buddhism. Shouldn't he be disgusted with monks? Why would he summon monks?
Moreover, Guanyin Bodhisattva clearly noticed that although these monks were over fifty years old, they had quick steps, strong bodies, clear and bright eyes, and a profound Zen charm lingering around them. They were obviously accomplished monks.
Li Shimin summoned them, could it be that he wanted to ask them for Buddhist advice?
Just thinking about it makes Guanyin Bodhisattva think it is impossible
There must be something fishy in this.
Thinking like this, Guanyin Bodhisattva came directly to the sky above Taiji Hall.
In the main hall, Ji Shimin was sitting high and Pang Lifu was holding a Buddhist scripture and looking at it carefully.
Above the Buddhist scriptures, the divine light lingers, the Buddhist charm is washed away, and a vast Zen spirit spreads out from above.
Li Shimin is still interested in Buddhist scriptures?
Guanyin Bodhisattva was stunned for a moment, feeling a little incredible.
He looked at the Buddhist scripture and was stunned when he saw the content on it.
It’s actually a Mahayana Buddhist sutra!
How can this be?
The Mahayana Sutra is the Bible of Buddhism, used to plan the journey to the West and gather the faith of living beings.
It can be said to be an untold secret of Buddhism.
Even the Buddhist scriptures spread in Xihe Niuzhou are only incomplete versions of Mahayana Buddhist scriptures.
How could Li Shimin have Mahayana Buddhist scriptures in his hands?
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva felt a little unbelievable, and subconsciously thought that this Buddhist sutra was fake, and at most it was just a incomplete version.
However, after careful comparison, I found that this scripture is exactly the same as the real Mahayana Buddhist scripture.
This shocked her even more.
Although Li Shimin is an emperor, he is just a mortal. How could there be Mahayana Buddhist scriptures for no reason?
Fei knew that when Tang Zang was collecting scriptures, he only
When we arrived at Lingshan, we didn’t enter Daleiyin Temple, so we didn’t even see the leather hand holding the Qingcheng Buddhist Sutra.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible that this Buddhist scripture was brought back by Tang Sanzang.
Could it be that there is a traitor in Buddhism?
The more Guanyin Bodhisattva thought about it, the more it seemed possible.
Buddhism is currently experiencing internal and external troubles, and people's hearts are fluctuating. Maybe some people in Buddhism have taken refuge with other forces, but it's not certain.
Of course, it is also possible that the saint has taken action and is secretly plotting against Buddhism.
After all, although Mahayana Buddhist scriptures are the secrets of Buddhism, saints know everything, so it is easy to create a fake Mahayana Buddhist scripture.
At this time, in the main hall, Li Shimin had already passed the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures to several monks.
These monks are all profound people in Buddhism, and Sanskrit is still very simple for them.
After Li Shimin confirmed that these monks could translate Sanskrit, he was very happy and immediately ordered these monks to translate the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures in front of the civil and military officials at a court meeting a few days later.
