Mohe Bodhi Temple, the Mohe Bodhi Temple in Bagan was built in 1215 AD by the then Burmese king of the Burmese king imitating the Bodhi Mohe Bodhi Temple in India. Bodhi Kaya was the place where the Buddha Shakyamuni was enlightened. In the third century BC, the famous Indian king of India built this Mohe Bodhi Temple to commemorate the Buddha's life and attain enlightenment. It is famous for its grand scale and exquisite sculptures. The Mohe Bodhi Temple in Bagan was built at the heyday of the Bagan dynasty in Burma. Its scale and exquisite sculptures were almost as large as the original temple in Bodhi Gaya. The pagoda as high as fifty meters is covered with exquisite reliefs and scriptures, which have extremely high artistic and cultural values ​​and are a symbol of the entire Bagan.

But today, this city is quiet and peaceful on weekdays, with the reputation of sandalwood and reading scriptures always coming from the smell of sandalwood and reading scriptures, but it is shrouded in another tense atmosphere. Teams of soldiers with live ammunition blocked the exit of the temple, and all those who attempt to enter or leave the temple were driven back by shining bayonets and butt stocks. The respected monks on weekdays were surprised to find that the soldiers who knelt on both sides of the road and kowtowed to them to pray for blessings on weekdays looked at them fiercely, waved their weapons, and made fierce curses. What was going on? Is it really like what was written in the Buddhist scriptures that has reached the end of the world where Buddhism has fallen?

Songshan stood more than 20 meters outside the gate of Mohe Bodhi Temple, surrounded by dozens of gun-carrying men. They were all uprisingers, the most firm and trustworthy supporters of Songshan. Songshan stared at the towering temple not far away, with a look of pain on his face. Finally, a low voice rang in his ear: "Boss, let's start!"

Song Chan shook his head and whispered: "Wait for a while, Tuhuan, I am not afraid of falling into hell after death, but this is Mohe Bodhi Temple! We rushed into the sacred temple with guns and bayonets, letting the blood defil the Buddhist temple! This is really terrible!"

The earth walker gently patted Song Gan on the shoulder and whispered: "Boss, think about the dead brothers in the armory, and there are other people in the ghost shadows. Why did they fight with those Shunbing until their last breath? The people in the Mohe Bodhi Temple want to destroy our cause, and destroy the ghost shadows they are willing to use everything to defend. What do you think we should do?"

Hearing the earth walker mentioned the name of "Ghost Shadow" and the armory, the shaking on Songshan's face disappeared, becoming cold and hard, just like steel. Songshan nodded softly and said, "You are right, Earth walker. My life was exchanged for the ghost Shadow and they used their own lives. I cannot stop here, even if my father's grave is blocked in front of me, I will shovel it flat!" At this point, he turned around, The officers in front of him ordered: "Send the order and immediately ask the Mohe Bodhi Temple to open the door and hand over the door to Master Samantabhadra and his disciples. If anyone dares to resist, they will be shot and killed. If any soldier disobeys, the squad leader will execute the soldiers; if the squad leader disobeys, the squad leader will execute the squad leader; if the squad leader disobeys, the company commander will shoot the squad leader; if the company commander disobeys, the company commander will disobey." Speaking of this, Song Gan pulled out a gun from his waist and whispered: "I'll shoot him!"

"yes!"

The Mohe Bodhi Temple still maintains the tranquility of the past on the surface, and the monks still walk, recite scriptures and worship as usual. The honor and stability of hundreds of years since the construction of the temple has given monks enough confidence. No matter how the outside world changes, there is still a pure land in the Mohe Bodhi Temple. No matter who ascends to the throne of honor, it is inseparable from the protection of Buddhism. Buddhism is the king's law. No one dares, and no one can break the tranquility of the temple.

But this time, the confidence of the monks was broken, and the increasing noise from the gate broke all this. More and more monks had to raise their heads from the Buddhist scriptures and look in surprise in the direction of the noise. Who dared to break the taboos of Buddhism and bring the complexity of the world to the holy land named after the Buddha Shakyamuni's enlightenment. Is this still Myanmar known as the "Buddhist Kingdom"?

Inside the monastery, a light green sandalwood flowed out from the mouth of a delicate incense burner and slowly floated upwards. More than ten monks fell down and sat on the cushion, listening to the preaching of Samantabhadra leaning on the couch. This burst of rapid shouts came in from the corridor outside the monastery!

"Respect your teacher, respect your teacher!"

A panic sound broke the tranquility of the monastery. Samantabhadra's brow frowned slightly and opened her eyes. A young monk stood in front of him with a panic on his face. Samantabhadra sighed slightly and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter, so panic?"

The young monk was still breathing. As soon as he entered the room, he felt more than ten dissatisfied eyes gathering on him. He knew that he had bumped into a rare lecture. His face suddenly turned red and his voice immediately lowered octaves.

"Sir, no, the mob named Song Chan in the city led his troops into the temple!"

"What? Called in?"

"This is Mohe Bodhi Temple, a holy place for Buddhism. How dare he come in with swords and guns?"

"Lawless! After death, you will definitely be invaded into the animal realm and will never turn over!"

A noise suddenly rose in the house, and almost all the monks who were listening to the lecture showed an incredible expression on their faces. A peasant with a very low status led his troops into the Mohe Bodhi Temple. Although this cannot be said to be a lasting success in the past few hundred years of history, it must be unprecedented. Even Mang Yingli, a famous tyrant in the Dongyu Dynasty, levies heavy taxes internally and dares to provoke the great Ming Dynasty at that time, he is still very respectful to the temples in China, let alone a large temple with special status like Mohe Bodhi Temple.

"Silent!" Samantabhadra patted the handrail of the long couch, and the room suddenly became quiet. He signaled the young monk who reported the news to sit down and asked, "There is always a reason for him to lead his troops into the temple! He has said something!"

"Reporting to the master, Na Songchan said that someone in our temple colluded with the Shun army outside the city to lead the Shun army into the city and smuggle weapons, in an attempt to detriment to the rebel army. So he asked for the search of the weapons and arrested the monks involved!"

"Bold madman!" When a monk heard this, he could no longer suppress his anger and jumped up and shouted in front of Samantabhadra: "Not to mention that the monks in the Mohe Bodhi Temple have a profound practice, no one will collude with Shundo outside the city, let alone any smuggling weapons. Even if there are such scum, according to hundreds of years of practice, if any monk breaks the law, the king will forgive him. He will deal with it according to the law. This is the right of "not leaving or entering" in our temple. How can he be broken by a small mob? Master will definitely not agree to him!"

"What my senior brother said is very good! Master cannot agree to that guy!"

"I am going to discuss it!"

Seeing the monks in the house responding, Samantabhadra showed a bitter smile on her face. Among the monks who heard the speech, the ones with the loudest voices did not know about the collusion between Mohe Bodhi Temple and the Shun Army outside the city. Those who knew the inside story, and even had the pistols on their waists, kept silent, with their eyes flashing, and obviously their hearts were already faint. At this time, Samantabhadra had only one thought in her mind: "Who, who revealed this secret to the Song Gan, so that he could come to the door so quickly!"

"Stop!" Samantabhadra raised his right hand slightly and signaled the disciples to stop talking. The monks quickly stopped talking, returned to the cushion and sat upright, waiting for the master's speech.

"People, Mohe Bodhi Temple is an ancient temple built by the former kings, a place where Buddhist practice is refined, and they must not be defiled by the secular world." When Samantabhadra said this, the monks with sloppy eyes showed joy on their faces, thinking that Samantabhadra would express their desire to take a tough stance on Songs. After all, Myanmar has been established in Buddhism for more than a thousand years, and its belief in Buddhism has been integrated into life. Respecting monks has been regarded as a matter of natural justice. Those monks decided not to believe that Songs can really use violence to deal with Mohe Bodhi Temple. As long as Samantabhadra can take a tough stance, they will be free of worries. But Samantabhadra immediately changed the subject: "But now in the last days, Buddhism is in decline, and we should not be stubborn. For our own selfishness, we will destroy the Mohe Bodhi Temple that the ancestors passed to us. Come! Come! Take my robes, and I will go to meet the Songs in person!"

As soon as Samantabhadra's voice fell, the faces of the monks in the room changed drastically, especially those monks who knew the inside story were even more frightened. Did the master change his mind and intend to compromise with Nasong Chan and hand over the weapons? Will he be handed over as a scapegoat? He is not as prestige and famous as Samantabhadra's master. The fanatical performance of the soldiers in the square that day was still in front of him. If he falls into Nasong Chan, he will not have any good ending. But under Samantabhadra's power, they can only bow down to him like other people who don't understand the inside story.

Song Chan and his group entered the temple and walked about half a cup of tea. The main building of the Mohe Bodhi Temple was right in front of them. The general structure of the Namohe Bodhi Temple is similar to that of the main temple of Bodhi Gaya. The main body is about 50 meters high and pyramid-shaped pagoda. The bottom layer is a square with a side length of 15 meters. The upper part gradually shrinks, the top is a cylindrical shape, and a copper spiral dome is erected on the top. There are four corners of the first four floors of the temple pagoda that are similar to the main pagoda, but the scale is smaller. There is a stone archway in front of the east gate of the temple, and both sides of the gate are Buddhist niches.

There are golden Buddha statues in the main hall inside the temple. There are more than 60 stone fences on the other three sides of the temple, 2 meters high. On each floor of the pagoda, there are wind chimes and Buddha statues made of gold, silver or various jewelry. These are sacrifices donated by Burmese kings and nobles of all ages to the Mohe Bodhi Temple. A breeze blew, and a crisp sound came from the pagoda, as if the sound of nature. When the Songchan and his group saw such a spectacular scene, they couldn't help but stop. Many uprisers simply put down their guns, put their hands together, and saluted the magnificent pagoda.
