As soon as Zhao Ranfu entered the hall, the sound of bells and drums, the sound of gongs and cymbals, the sound of wooden fish, and the chanting of sutras resounded overwhelmingly. Zhang Juzheng on the side turned pale, his steps trembled slightly, and his legs were weak from the shock.
Zhao Ran quickly put his finger on it slightly, and after a little magic power, Zhang Juzheng stabilized.
According to the procedures explained in advance, Zhao Ran stepped forward to the confession of Sakyamuni Buddha. Six great Buddhist monks were already waiting here. When they saw Zhao Ran, they clasped their hands together and said, "I have seen the Ming Envoy."
Master Yin Guang, who presided over the old hall of Tianlong Dean, came out and introduced to Zhao Ran one by one: "This is the Living Buddha Sangcuo, the Tubo State Master."
The living Buddha Sangtso is wearing a golden ancestral robe, and the red dongka is embroidered with floral brocade. He looks like he is only seventy years old, but Zhao Ran knows that this living Buddha is already over two hundred years old, and he is one of the two living Buddhas in Tubo. The oldest living Buddha.
So Zhao Ran clasped his fists and said, "I have seen the living Buddha Sangcuo in Xiaodao."
Living Buddha Sangcuo looked at Zhao Ran with squinted eyes, smiled and nodded.
Master Yinguang continued to introduce: "This is the living Buddha Jialingzhen, the master of the Northern Yuan Dynasty."
The real Living Buddha of Jialing has a dark face and a protruding nose. He looks a bit like a monk from the Western Regions. Zhao Ran continued to clasp his fists: "I have seen the Living Buddha of Jialing."
The real living Buddha of Jialing grinned. The smile made Zhao Ran feel a little creepy. He didn't dare to look at it and continued to greet the remaining people.
¡°I¡¯ve met Master Wenyin¡ I¡¯ve met Master Miaozhen¡ I¡¯ve met Zen Master Xu Yongming¡¡±
After a brief greeting, Master Yinguang raised his hand to indicate that the singing and the sound of gongs, drums and wooden fish suddenly fell silent. Master Yinguang said: "In April this year, Master Xuanci, the abbot of Taici Temple, achieved nirvana in the Hengduan Mountains. At that time , the rainbow bridge appears in the sky, leading Master Xuanci to be reborn in the pure land of the Buddhist Kingdom in the West. This is seen by the world. Today, the Taoist sect sends envoys to return the rainbow body of the master, and thousands of monks and believers of the old Buddhist sect are here to welcome him!"
Everyone¡¯s eyes were on Zhao Ran, and Zhao Ran knew that it was time to hand over.
Zhao Ran could not directly take the Xuanci Rainbow Body out of the mandala. It would be disrespectful to do so, unless he did not want to return to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he took out the mandala mandala from his fingers, held it with both hands, and placed it gently on the altar. On the altar.
The two monks, Liao Yuan, the leader of the Bodhi Hall, and Hong Dao, the leader of the Xuan Ye Hall, walked out of the queue below and came to the altar. The power of the Dharma entered the mandala, and the mandala instantly became bigger.
Liaoyuan and Hongdao reached in and paused for a moment. One person held the left hand and the other held the right hand. They carried out a nanmu lotus throne from the mandala. On the throne, Master Xuanci, with slightly closed eyes and a kind face, sat in lotus lotus position with a hand on his knees. There is a golden bowl.
As soon as the Xuanci Rainbow Body came out and the sound of bells, drums, gongs and cymbals started again, all the monks in the hall fell down on the futons and paid homage. As the sound of wooden fish sounded, the hall echoed with endless chanting.
Zhao Ran stepped aside, and the six Buddha-level monks led by him stepped forward one by one, lightly touching the handprints formed by Master Xuanci's rainbow body with their foreheads, and then stepped back one by one, each offering incense.
Master Wenyin stepped forward and put a brocade cassock on Xuanci, Master Miaozhen put on Buddhist prayer beads for him, Zen Master Xu Yongming gave him a Vairocana hat, and Living Buddha Sangcuo and Living Buddha Galingzhen each put two beads on his neck. Colorful Hada.
Master Yin Guang stepped forward to sort things out for a while, and then waved his hand. The two masters, Liao Yuan and Hong Dao, lifted the lotus throne and walked around the hall. Then they left the main hall and walked around the outer lecture field.
The lecture venue outside the Main Hall is a circular gallery, divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower. Each floor is filled with Buddhist monks, monks from various temples, dignitaries from various ministries and officials from the court. There are countless people in the dense crowd. At this moment, there are Seeing the true form of Hongti, he immediately shouted to pay homage. The shouts resounded throughout the Xingqing Mansion, and also aroused the earth-shaking shouts of the believers from all walks of life who were waiting outside the Tianlong Courtyard.
Liao Yuan and Hongdao carried the lotus throne on which Xuanci's rainbow body was sitting, so that every attendee of the Dharma Conference could see Xuanci's Nirvana rainbow body with their own eyes, which immediately triggered a mountain of chanting.
Hongdao asked Yuan via voice transmission: "What's the matter? Junior brother, can you see it clearly?"
Liaoyuan replied: "It's the Jiuxinzi Dharma Mandala, it can't be wrong!"
As the head of the Bodhi Hall, Luoyuan can be regarded as the best expert in appraising Buddhist treasures in the country. If he is sure that this is a real object, then it cannot be fake. In other words, even if it is fake, it is real at this moment!
Hongdao immediately said: "After the Dharma conference, go and change with him!"
Liaoyuan said: "I will go to Master Yinguang soon and ask him to come forward to discuss with Zen Master Xu Yongming. Regardless of what Jambudvipa Temple wants, I will first take out the Xuanyuan Ten Sons Picture in exchange for the mandala, and then ask Jambudvipa The temple¡¯s compensation is from the Buddhist sect, so it¡¯s easy to say whatever you want!¡±
While transmitting messages and discussing, the two eminent monks carried the Xuanci Rainbow Body and circled it three times in the lecture field.? Set off a wave of frenzy of worship among monks and believers. During this period, Hongdao loudly explained the origin of the golden bowl, which aroused waves of exclamation.
After the tour, the Xuanci Hongti was carried into the main hall. The Jiuxinzi Dharma Mandala on the altar had been taken back by Zhao Ran and replaced by a Buddhist-made rosewood shrine. The two monks carefully put the Hongti into the main hall. It was carried into the Buddhist niche, and then the monks of Tenryuin Temple cast a spell to seal the Buddhist niche, and the golden bowl was also placed in a treasure box.
Believers from all walks of life began to enter the temple and presented offerings to Xuanci, including butter lamps, purified water, Buddhist scriptures, rosary beads, incense cauldrons, cassocks, crowns of five precepts, prayer documents, etc., in various categories. There are mountains of piles in the hall, among which ten large yellow umbrellas are the most conspicuous, but they are the famous umbrellas donated by Ningxia tribesmen.
Seven years ago, there was a severe drought in Ningxia. At the cost of losing three years of his life, Master Xuanci made a wish to pray for rain, and countless people survived. This was a yellow umbrella sewed spontaneously by the local tribesmen. In three months, more than 100,000 people were named, and 10 were made in a row. The umbrella can only be accommodated.
Zhao Ran looked on with envy, secretly thinking that if he could get an umbrella for ten thousand people, what a great merit it would be!
After the offerings were presented, under the leadership of Master Yin Guang and other great Buddhist monks, thousands of people recited prayers and vows in the main hall and outside the hall. Over and over again, the entire Tianlong Courtyard was filled with incense and candles, and the sound of chanting was heard. Shocking!
This is the ritual of the Dharma Assembly on the first day. The entire Dharma Assembly will last for seven or forty-nine days. The focus is on the first seven days, in which chanting of sutras, offerings, lectures by eminent monks, etc. are interspersed. Seven days later, the Vidha Dharma Assembly will be held, which is the most solemn ceremony of the entire Dharma assembly. After that, the eminent monks will continue to perform Dharma sermons, and the Eight Passes of Fasting and Mental Dharma for believers will also be held.
Different from Taoism, Buddhism¡¯s Nirvana Dharma Assembly to celebrate Xuanci¡¯s enlightenment is mainly held in Tianlongyuan, while Taoism is scattered in Guangongyuan all over the country. The differences in concepts and implementation methods are also quite interesting.
