- ? Chasing the Tao in the Heavens Smiling Proudly in the Wind and Cloud Chapter 131, the prehistoric worldly ways, the emperor does not pay attention, the princes and nobles are not interested, this Buddhist grand ceremony is destined not to enter the upper class.
However, the necessary process is still indispensable. Buddhism has made such a big scene in order to spread the scriptures, how can it be done without some publicity?
All the temples with some heritage in the Tang Dynasty have been notified by the patriarchs, asking them to cooperate with the propaganda and take the opportunity to expand the influence of Buddhism.
After paying a visit to Emperor Tang, a grand Dharma preaching conference kicked off in Chang'an.
? As the executor of Buddhist scriptures, Tang Sanzang naturally has the highest right to speak. Regardless of the status of the reincarnation of the second disciple of the Tathagata, or the "Tripitaka" in his hand, it is his confidence.
Tang Sanzang naturally did not dare to completely deny the original text of the Mahayana scriptures, but he can still make some small moves regarding the specific interpretation of the content of the scriptures.
Under the auspices of Tang Sanzang, a group of Buddhist leaders from the religious circles gathered together to give their own interpretation of Mahayana Buddhism.
As for how far it is from the true meaning of the original text, no one knows. After all, the original scriptures were directly collected by Emperor Tang, and what they got was only the hand-copied version.
Since it is a hand-copied version, it is inevitable that there will be omissions. There are tens of thousands of volumes of scriptures, and there are a few errors in the middle, which is also excusable.
After a group of Buddhist leaders have finished interpreting and annotating the scriptures, it does not mean that the matter is over. These contents have to be reported to the Tang Emperor for approval before they can be promoted to temples all over the world.
Undoubtedly, in this process, it is inevitable to continue to delete and revise, so that the scriptures are as close as possible to the national conditions of the Tang Dynasty.
The official scriptures have not yet been released, but the Tathagata's Mahayana Buddhism has changed beyond recognition. Tang Sanzang was also very helpless about this. He thought he would take the lead in doing it himself, but he didn't expect that there were so many activists in Buddhism who "reformed scriptures".
Everything stems from interests, and Mahayana Buddhism becoming the mainstream is bound to have an impact on the Hinayana Buddhism that is currently circulating. Controversy over orthodoxy is always the cruelest, even if they are both Buddhist disciples, the internal competition has never been weak.
For their own benefit, all branches of Buddhism and Taoism will naturally not forget to include private goods. With everyone's joint efforts, the "Tripitaka" carefully compiled by Tathagata naturally changed beyond recognition.
Everyone puts private goods in it, and Tang Sanzang is no exception. In the future, whoever has a dominant ideological theory in Buddhism will be able to share more merit and luck. It can be said that it is already a competition within Buddhism.
Hello, hello, hello everyone, that is really good. With the cooperation of Tang Sanzang, the leaders of the Buddhist sects of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Emperor, the new version of the "Tripitaka" will soon appear on the stage.
If you bring the scriptures to the Tathagata, he probably doesn't even know that this is the result of his own research on Buddhist theory. The content inside, and the original Tripitaka except for the same name, it is difficult to find common ground.
Replacing tens of thousands of scriptures in a short period of time is obviously not a small project, even if Tang Sanzang is strong, he will inevitably be tired.
This is still based on the premise of plagiarizing everywhere and promoting the borrowed style. If it was written by him alone, I am afraid that it may not be able to be done in a hundred years.
Looking at the results in front of him, Tang Sanzang summoned a few disciples and said, "Apprentices, the great task of learning Buddhist scriptures has now been completed. Now the scriptures have also begun to be copied to the world. What are your plans for the next step?"
It's not that he is sentimental, he has to care about the future development of several apprentices, the main reason is that he has finished the work of learning Buddhist scriptures, but he has not seen the reward from Buddhism for a long time, Tang Sanzang is also guilty.
The new version of the "Tripitaka" in front of me has nothing to do with Buddha except for the name.
Perhaps there may be some collisions in the content, but there is absolutely no deliberate plagiarism or reference. After all, Tang Sanzang himself did not read the scriptures, so he went to teach others.
From this point of view, in fact, it might be the best choice to leave with the scriptures without words from the beginning.
In any case, this wave has slapped the Tathagata Buddha in the face. Even if there are joint efforts of all Buddhist branches, Tang Sanzang is worried that he will be missed alone.
"Master, there is nothing to worry about. Although Chang'an is good, it is not a place to live for a long time. My generation of practitioners is destined not to stay in the world of mortals for a long time.
Now that the scripture learning is over, my old grandson will naturally go back to Huaguo Mountain to meditate; Ba Jie is arguing every day to go back to Gao Laozhuang, and now no one is stopping him, and he just got his wish.
It doesn't matter whether Junior Brother Sha returns to Liusha River or to Heaven; Little White Dragon will definitely return to the Dragon Clan. They all have their own places to go, and you can rest assured that you can get an eminent monk.
Originally, our brothers and sisters also planned top; Replacing Tathagata is not only what he wants, but also what the direct line of Buddhism wants. Whether it is for his own path or the needs of his subordinates, Maitreya must fight against the Tathagata.
Regarding this situation, the two Western Saints are also very clear, and even they are still deliberately letting this happen.
Only when there is competition can there be pressure, and only when there is pressure can there be motivation. If Buddhism wants to move forward all the way, it must spur its disciples to work hard.
With the pressure of Maitreya, Tathagata will work harder in Buddhist affairs. On the contrary, it is precisely because of the existence of Tathagata that the direct line of Buddhism has always maintained its fighting spirit.
"Future Buddha, what you say is justified! Venerable Guanyin, you have been in charge of the Journey to the West. Now I will trouble you to go there and call Tang Monk and his disciples back to Lingshan to obey orders."
Tathagata said expressionlessly.
If the matter of awarding the reward cannot be dragged on, if you continue to hold on to it, it will only make people think that he, the Buddha, has no tolerance. Simply sell the future Buddha to save face, and also take advantage of the opportunity to gag his mouth, so as to avoid further twists and turns on the title.
"Disciple, obey!"
Guanyin replied calmly.
Ever since he became the person in charge of the Sutra Learning project team, he has not had a good day. I have been worried all day long, lest there will be a mistake, which will ruin the Buddhist plan.
Now that the hard days are finally over, Guanyin only feels relaxed, so he has no interest in mixing with the high-level struggle, and he got up and left directly after speaking
