Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When the Bodhisattva left the Western Heaven, the Tathagata gave him three treasures: a brocade cassock, a nine-ring tin staff, and three golden hoops.

    Now that the Bodhisattva has come to the mortal world to finalize Tang Monk, she still has to find a way to start her journey to the West, so she took out her cassock and tin staff and prepared to act.

    The Bodhisattva and his disciple Mu Zha transformed into two monks, an old one and a young one. The old monk, wearing a shining golden cassock, met an official of the dynasty by chance.

    When the official saw that the old monk was wearing a splendid cassock and didn't even look like a master, he felt that the old monk was not worthy of this cassock. On the contrary, Master Xuanzang was as tall as the heavens and as tall as the pavilion, and he was very talented. Wouldn't it be better if he was matched with this cassock?

    So the official stopped and asked the old monk, "How do you sell your cassock and tin staff?"

    "The cassock is five thousand taels of gold, and the tin staff is two thousand taels of gold." The old monk said.

    The official was shocked when he heard this: "Is your cassock made of gold, or is your tin staff made of gold? You, a monk, don't lie."

    But the old monk smiled and replied: "If you respect the Buddha, I won't take any penny, otherwise I won't be able to lose even a penny of these seven thousand taels of gold."

    When the officials heard that the monk was interesting, they immediately took the monk to the Water and Land Conference. At this time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the people of Chang'an, and the emperor's relatives gathered to listen to the monk's chanting.

    Yunyao and the consort were naturally there, too. Yunyao was bored. If Li Shimin hadn't insisted on everyone coming to listen, she wouldn't have come.  On the other hand, the female consort listened with gusto. It was a pleasure to listen to the handsome guy preaching.  Moreover, this was a national-level conference, and Tang Seng went all out, so the intellectuals around him could be heard paying close attention.

    Tang Monk added a lot of his own understanding to his lectures, so many of his views are very novel, especially his Theory of Eight Consciousnesses, which is even more original and full of witty remarks.  The eight consciousnesses are eyes, tongue, nose, ears, body, mind, mana, and alaya.

    The first five senses are easy to understand, namely the eyes, tongue, nose, ears, and body.  Consciousness is brain activities such as memory, judgment, thinking, etc.

    Manas consciousness is 'I', I am hungry, I want to sleep, I want to succeed, I want to make progress This 'I' connects the previous six consciousnesses and Alaya consciousness, and this I cannot be independent of Alai  Yes.  Without alaya consciousness, I am meaningless.

    The difference between mana consciousness and consciousness is that consciousness will stop when sleeping or comatose, while mana consciousness does not stop for a moment. Even if you are comatose, there is still a "I", I am comatose.

    Alaya consciousness is the foundation of the eight consciousnesses and the truth of all things. All things are illusions grown from the seeds of Alaya consciousness.  As long as we understand this, everyone can become a Buddha.

    Atheism, the whole process of enlightenment has nothing to do with Tathagata, it is completely a process of making oneself a Buddha.  Although Tang Monk worshiped Buddha, there was no hint of Tathagata in the Buddhist principles he spoke.

    After hearing this, Yunyao thought to herself: What does Tang Seng usually worship?  She turned around and saw that her consort was listening attentively, with stars in her eyes. She completely regarded Tang Monk as her idol, thinking that her consort had no connection with the West and would never become a Buddha.  People who have idols in their hearts have obsessions and naturally cannot become Buddhas.

    An idol is not necessarily a specific person, it may be the person's personality. What many people worship is not the idol itself, but the persona represented by the idol.  So once the idol's personality collapses, they will look for another new idol, but the personality will be very similar.

    This kind of worship and pursuit of personality is a big obsession.

    But persona is really easy to use, and Yunyao is also a person who is proficient in using persona. A persona can indeed gather a large number of people to believe in you the fastest.  Why doesn't Tang Monk also have a character?  It's just that Tang Seng's behavior is basically consistent with the character, and there is no acting skills involved.

    And some idols themselves are too different from their personas, and their behaviors are completely opposite to their personas.  For example, the persona is erudite, but the idol actually graduated from elementary school; for example, the persona is a good man, but the idol participates in multi-person sports; for example, the persona is innocent, but the idol smokes, drinks, and perms his hair In this way, the persona can easily collapse.  The phenomenon.

    Tang Seng¡¯s words and deeds are consistent, and his character is very standing and will basically not collapse.

    Yunyao knows whether the consort has a woman's heart and still wants a normal love.  Yunyao thought to herself that she still hadn't broken her in three years, and she was still too gentle.

    While Yunyao was thinking wildly in this solemn meeting, the officials brought the old monk to see the emperor.  He told Li Shimin that this monk was very interesting. He had two treasures in his hand, but they were expensive. He said they would sell for 7,000 taels of gold, but the old monk also said that if he worshiped Buddha, he could give them away for free.  Now the water and land conference is full of people who respect Buddha, so I brought the monk here to see if the monk would really give away the treasure for free.

    Li Shimin?I think this official is also a bad person. Maybe he just said it casually. How can I let him give away the treasure for nothing?  Isn't this a plot against other monks?

    "But this old monk is also very powerful. He didn't show any courtesy to the emperor when he saw him. He showed off his treasure calmly.  The cassock and tin staff were taken out, and instantly everyone's eyes were filled with bright light, and they all knew that this was a good treasure.

    Yunyao knew that this was Guanyin Bodhisattva building momentum for Tang Monk. If Buddhism is to flourish, monks must praise monks.  The purpose of Bodhisattva is to create the character of an eminent monk for Tang Seng, but this character design is still a little too early for Tang Seng, and he cannot sustain it for the time being.

    Only when Tang Seng¡¯s status becomes higher and his reputation becomes more famous, will more people believe in the scriptures he retrieved.  If Tang Seng was just a nobody, no one would pay attention to whether Tang Seng could obtain the true scripture.

    The Western Church is launching a propaganda campaign. Yunyao hopes that someone will actually offer 7,000 taels of gold to buy the treasure. She wonders how she can end it.

    "Your Majesty, these two treasures are just for Master Xuanzang's use." Xuanzang is very pious, so the old monk should give the treasures free of charge.

    Of course, Li Shimin was not short of money and would not take other people¡¯s treasures for no reason, so he expressed his willingness to spend money.

    But the monk didn't want money and said: "My Buddha is compassionate, today you are virtuous and kind, and you respect my Buddha's three treasures. He is a destined person who can be entrusted to me. Please let Xuanzang come forward, and I will give him two treasures."  "

    Everyone felt incredible after hearing this. If they really gave away the magic weapon, they would definitely be shocked.

    In fact, the left hand is the right hand. Xuanzang will also convert to the West in the future. When the time comes, the two magic weapons will still be taught in the West, so there is no loss at all.  But in the process of changing hands, I received praise for no reason and increased my reputation. This is why if the Buddha Dharma is to flourish, it is necessary for monks to praise monks.

    Yun Yao has to admit that Western religions are indeed good at publicity, and they are completely empty-handed.

    When Xuanzang put on the magic weapon, he suddenly looked solemn and dignified, and he had the air of an eminent monk. Sure enough, people rely on clothes to dress up, and Buddha relies on gold clothes. It can also be said that the people don't know that officials are afraid of cars, and the common people don't know that Buddha is valued by clothes.

    The old monk asked Xuanzang what Buddhism he said.

    Xuanzang answered honestly: "The Sutra of Receiving Life and Saving Death, The Anbang Tianbao Ru, and The Book of Encouragement to Practice Gong."

    The old monk shook his head after hearing this, obviously not very satisfied with Xuanzang¡¯s knowledge.  My clothes have changed, and now the knowledge in my head should also keep pace with the times, and should be expanded.

    Xuanzang¡¯s Theory of Eight Consciousnesses previously only saved himself, but now it should save everyone.  In addition to oneself, there are countless others in the Alaya consciousness, so one's own liberation is not true liberation. Only by helping all the "I" in the Alaya consciousness to be liberated is the real liberation.

    Although it only added one concept, it directly changed from Hinayana Buddhism to Mahayana Buddhism.
