Li Dandao had never heard of the Great Light and Universal Illuminating Bodhisattva.
In Buddhism, there are those with infinite light, such as the Great Sun Tathagata, the Medicine Master Glazed Light Tathagata, the Guiding Buddha Amitabha, the Lantern Ancient Buddha, the Sunlight Bodhisattva, the Moonlight Bodhisattva, and the Guiding Buddha Amitabha.
This meaning of great light and universal illumination can only correspond to the Great Sun Tathagata, but the Great Sun Tathagata does not need to be offered with fragrant oil.
The ancient Buddha of Ran Deng needs to be worshiped with sesame oil, but he is the Buddha of the past and no longer lives in this world.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? And it¡¯s a nunnery temple, which makes Li Dandao already have a bad feeling.
"Is it Manichaeism?"
Didn¡¯t Manichaeism only officially spread to China during the Wu Zetian period?
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty ordered a ban on this religion, saying, "It is originally an evil view, and it is falsely claimed to be Buddhism to deceive Li Yuan."
It can be seen that this religion is secretly preaching as a Buddhist.
¡°And Buddhism itself is very alert to this, calling it heresy and attacking it, but it¡¯s just like a dog-skin plaster.
And Manichaean architecture is also known as "light".
For example, the famous Dayun Guangming Temple.
But later on, it became a secret religion, and even rebellions were common.
But what Li Dandao heard and heard did have the flavor of Buddhism in it.
It is common for religions to copy teachings from each other.
¡°But it¡¯s wrong for you to defraud people out of money, curse and threaten them.
Li Dandao then went to investigate the Guangming Temple.
Guangming Temple was introduced to China by the Persians. Trade between China and Persia has existed since ancient times.
There is no difference between this temple and a Buddhist temple. Even the nuns inside are like this. They shave their heads and practice cultivation, and wear cassocks.
According to the information obtained by Li Dandao, this temple only receives "rich people" and does not attack the poor. Why is it that the disaster is directed at the female silk reeler?
When Li Dandao came outside the temple, he saw only "women" coming and going, with few men.
There is also a nun at the door, who seems to have "ticket awareness" and is guarding a merit box with the merits of rejoicing written on it.
When you enter the temple, you have to put money in. If you put in a lot, the nun will put her hands together and say: "Immeasurable merit!"
Li Dandao originally wanted to go inside to check, but there were only women coming in and out, so Li Dandao avoided suspicion. At the same time, he thought: "Trouble."
It seems that we can only trouble the Underworld Empress and others to investigate this matter. Why did they target a female silk reeler? Is it to deal with their own family members.
"And in the temple, the light shines all over the Bodhisattva, and the eyes are lowered to shine. The abbot nun looks like she is only in her thirties. She is wearing a monk's robe, but her eyes are the color of glass beads. She does not seem to be Chinese.
She saw the large sea jar lamp enshrined in front of the Bodhisattva. There was no wind at the time, but the light was extinguished, making it confusing.
It seems that even Bodhisattva cannot protect him.
But soon the lights were bright again. The nun and abbot breathed a sigh of relief and called for a middle-aged nun. The man's face was as yellow as wax, his cheekbones were high, and his eyes were small and thin. He did not look like a blessed or generous person.
¡°But the occasional glint in his eyes means that this person has some sexual skills.
"If that woman were here, she would definitely recognize that this middle-aged nun was the one who said she had sinned deeply.
"Xianzhen, how did you handle the matter that the poor nun told you?"
¡°Go back to the abbot, this matter is not urgent, but it¡¯s time to see results.¡± Xianzhen replied very respectfully.
"That's good. Watch this matter carefully and be sure not to get angry."
After the abbot finished speaking, he closed his eyes and visualized the infinite light, a blazing flame that completely purified all impure things.
Xianzhen left, returned to his room, and took out a small box, about the size of two palms. When he opened it, there were all kinds of gold and silver jewelry. Xianzhen kissed it, and then took out one of the scriptures. Take it out.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out of it, I found the "Hell". This is a scripture that talks about the six paths of reincarnation and the evil deeds of all living beings.
Xianzhen cut out several pieces of paper according to the images of ghosts and ghosts on the scriptures, recited the secret mantra several times, and lit the eyes of the paper figures.
"Tonight, I will arrest another soul. All living beings in Liyuan are drowning in the sea of ??evil without knowing it. We need to save them and use the holy fire as a navigation to let them know how to return."
However, his eyes did not reveal the light of compassion that could save all sentient beings, but an almost perverted greedy desire.
And the cut piece of paper is vaguelyIt's like communicating to another world.
It is between two big mountains, a place of absolute darkness that cannot be seen by any sunlight or moonlight. There are eight big hells in it. Each big hell is surrounded by sixteen smaller hells. In addition, there are ten more. A big hell without small hells surrounding it.
And these hells do not seem to be in the Central Plains, but in a country with distinct levels. The lives of the people at the bottom are even worse than hell.
"In this hell, there are evil ghosts who were frightened out, attached to the paper figures, and were sent by this nun.
Among the many hells, a monk sits cross-legged in the middle, on a lotus platform. His own light generates light, becoming the only source of light between the two mountains.
And countless hungry ghosts, like moths rushing to the flame, move towards this light.
His great wisdom, great perseverance, great vows, and great luck
It is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
It¡¯s just that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva shed tears, as if he was touched by the suffering of all sentient beings.
Or maybe the human heart is like hell, hell is empty, but the human heart is not empty.
When Li Dandao came out of Guangming Temple, he saw migratory locusts coming from the north, vaguely carrying the threat of disaster.
I'm afraid that Chang'an will be attacked by locusts soon.
Li Dandao was not the only one who felt the locust plague.
There is also Buddhism.
I saw a monk with a handsome face, who had left the Pure Land Temple in Luoyang. There were severe droughts, locust plagues, and plagues in Henan. People moved a lot. Although Luoyang was the former capital of the Sui Dynasty and had food transported by the Grand Canal, it was still not self-sufficient. .
The monks of Pure Land Temple planned to release him and make a living on his own.
This monk is called Xuanzang.
"Greetings and sexual pleasures lead to misfortunes, killings and quarrels, a murderous place of words, a sea of ??right and wrong."
The monk came out of the Pure Land Temple and saw disasters among the people and suffering in the world. The source of all this came from Li Shimin's greed for sexual pleasure and misfortune, and his desire to kill and fight.
He is about to go to Chang'an now to persuade Li Shimin to make offerings to Buddhism, charity, redemption of sins and karma, so that the Central Plains can be transformed into a pure land, where everyone is neither greedy nor killing, and cultivates spiritual energy
It was only the Buddhist teachings he learned in the Pure Land Temple that made Xuanzang waver along the way.
That is something based on something other than Buddhism, and it is the glory of human nature.
The outside of Pure Land Temple is not a "bad land", nor is it hell, but a real world, completely different from what Master and others said.
It¡¯s just that no one enlightened him, enlightened him, and made him understand.
