Sri Lanka boldly raised his head and looked at His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin. He clasped his hands together and spoke loudly. The rhyme of immeasurable compassion spread and he bowed deeply.
The ultimate goal of this trip to Xianyang of the Qin Dynasty together with Venerable Luohu was to make His Majesty the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty agree to allow them to preach.
If this is the case, then the Way of the Buddha can be spread throughout this land of Eastern Cathay in a very short time, just like King Asoka spread the Way of the World Honored One.
Without the permission of the First Emperor of Qin, the speed will only be very slow. Although it is good, why not give it a try?
The many actions of the past disciples of the Lord Buddha who entered Eastern Cathay were gathered together, and many of them were evil to the Qin Dynasty. This was a matter of obstruction, and Sri Lanka had already sensed this.
A gift fell.
Along with the eleven people who came behind them, they all took off their knees, crossed their hands on their heads, and placed their eyebrows on the floor, thinking they were sincere.
What those Blessed Ones preached did indeed exist.
It is indeed their fault.
For this, they are willing to pay the price.
Even if it's the cost of life.
As long as His Majesty, the First Emperor of Qin, allows them to preach, they will be willing to bear any responsibility no matter what!
"To preach."
"It's interesting that you are willing to pay the price with your life."
"The Way of the Lord."
"According to the words of the documents you have submitted, the Buddha Buddha is also a wise man, a person who is capable of benevolence, Confucianism, Ninja, and tranquility like the sages of the Xia Dynasty."
"If this is the case, when you enter the Xia Dynasty, you should be generous and peaceful, and there will be no disputes."
"Wouldn't it violate the wishes of your World-Honored Ones?"
Looking down at the twelve pagoda men grabbing the ground with their heads, First Emperor Ying Zheng smiled and said.
What you said!
What you did!
It cannot be the same!
Unable to unite knowledge and action!
How to gain trust in yourself?
"His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin!"
"The World-Honored One is aware of the sufferings of all people in life, old age, disease, and death. After undergoing various practices, he sat quietly under the Bipala tree and meditated on the four truths and the principles of the twelve causes and conditions."
"Then suppress the demon Bo Xun, achieve enlightenment, and achieve the supreme magic."
"Sri Fang entered the land of Eastern Cathay and for a period of time, he observed the practice of hundreds of schools of thought here. It can be seen that the way of the World Honored One can be benevolent, Confucian, benevolent, and peaceful."
"The World-Honored One preaches the Dharma and persuades all peoples with principles."
"Our disciples have insufficient cultivation, are eager to preach, and may have gone astray. They think that today's sins are the great cause and effect mentioned by the World Honored One."
"With the voice of that day, we will get the consequences of today's guilt."
Sri Fang did not raise his head, but spoke slowly in response to His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin.
"Hahaha, your words of waiting are quite interesting."
"The way of the Buddha Buddha!"
"I know that he is a person comparable to the founder of Taoism. I know a lot about the wonderful principles of Taoism and he can be a great master."
"If you want to preach, let me observe the so-called wonderful Dharma of the World Honored One."
"Is it the real Buddha's wonderful teaching?"
These people may actually have sincerity in preaching.
But... it was not enough. The First Emperor Ying Zheng took down a volume of documents from the side table, which was a document presented by the people of the Pagoda.
It is said above that the Buddha's Dharma is magnificent and incomparable, and it is the first and highest Dharma in the world.
The tone is quite small.
Even among the hundreds of families in Xia, no one can be proud.
"The World Honored One has many teachings."
"On "Past Present Cause and Effect"!"
"There is a discussion on "The Origin of Cultivation"!"
"Discussing Mahaprajnabhava!"
"There is a discussion on "Pu Yaohua"!"
"Discussing the Wonderful Lotus!"
"Discussing "Infinite Life"!"
"Discussing Amitabha!"
"Discussing the Great Nirvana!"
"..."
"The World Honored One has a dharma for all things, but Sri Lanka's wisdom is weak, so he only has one volume of "Wonderful Dharma Flower". May his words be spoken to His Majesty, the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty."
Sri Sri Fang slowly stood upright without getting up. He sat cross-legged in the hall with his knees bent, his hands clasped together, and traces of strange mysterious light flickering around his body.
The Buddha's teachings are treasured in many families, and the Buddha's way is the only way. The land of Eastern Cathay should accept thousands of the Buddha's teachings.
"Infinite World Honored One!"
"Infinite World Honored One!"
"..."
The eleven barefoot and bald pagoda people behind him also sat up, clasped their hands in front of them, and each of them exuded a mysterious aura.
In the hall of Xingle Palace, Zhou Qing was watching quietly.
The Way of the Buddha!
It is indeed profound and profound. Zhou Qing has no doubt about this. The way of any supreme being who integrates all things is extremely profound.
They are all extraordinary.
But..., the way of Buddha has not yet entered Zhuxia.
What's more, it's impossible for them to enter Zhuxia now, just like what they said about cause and effect.
Once you have finished dividing the religion and opening a sect, the subsequent matters will be out of your control.
""Wonderful Lotus"?"
"Let me discuss it."
The First Emperor Ying Zheng nodded.
The emperor's younger brother said that the way of the Buddha Buddha is indeed wonderful. He is like the founder of the Taoist school, and his every word carries great meaning.
"Namo World Honored One!"
"This sutra leads to prajna, leads to nirvana, understands the conveniences of the three vehicles, and enters the reality of the one vehicle."
"I heard that for a time, the Buddha was living in the city of Rajagaha, in the mountain where the monks were raised, together with twelve thousand great bhikkhus, all of whom were Arhats. All the outflows had been eliminated, and there were no more worries.
I feel at ease.”
Cultivation transforms the three meridians and the seven wheels determine the universe.
The heart turns at will, and the light of great wisdom of the three chakras and seven chakras arises on the back of the head. The hands are clasped in front of the body, and a golden mark appears between the eyebrows.
The words of the Supreme Master's Dharma fall from the mouth, the sound of Zen rolls out, and the vital energy of heaven and earth gathers instinctively.
"Why do I hear this?"
"What is a great monk?"
The First Emperor Yingzheng was strange.
The theory this person spoke was from Zhu Xia's Yayan, which should be a general translation. It sounded a bit strange, so I couldn't help but ask.
"I have heard that this is the general sequence of the sutras of the Supreme and Wonderful Dharma of the World Honored One. The World Honored One attained enlightenment. My disciple Ananda asked: The World Honored One is transcendent. What should I say at the beginning of all sutras?"
"The World-Honored One replied: Be careful, I heard this!"
"A great bhikkhu, who has realized the profoundness of the Buddha's Dharma, can be a great Arahant, just like Zhu Xiayan, all are sages."
Sri Sri Fang responded.
Slowly and clearly, the questions raised by His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin were clearly answered.
"interesting."
First Emperor Ying Zheng waved his hand.
It is indeed very different from the Tao of the Hundred Schools of Xia. You can read the Tao of the Hundred Schools by yourself without being hindered. However, the Tao of Futu is somewhat difficult and obscure.
"……."
"At this time, Maitreya should know that at that time, the Bodhisattva of Wonderful Light is different from other people. I am the same body, and the Bodhisattva who seeks the name is the same as you."
"Now that I see this auspicious sign, it is no different from the original one, so I just think that today the Tathagata will preach the Mahayana Sutra, called the Lotus of Wonderful Dharma, and teach the Bodhisattva Dharma, which the Buddha will protect."
"At that time, Manjushri Bodhisattva was in the crowd and wanted to reiterate this meaning and said a verse: I remember that in the past life, for countless kalpas, there was a Buddha named Sun, Moon and Lamp."
"The World-Honored One preaches the Dharma to save countless sentient beings and make countless billions of Bodhisattvas enter the wisdom of the Buddha."
"..."
Since he didn’t know much about the so-called Tao of Buddha, and it was very difficult and obscure, the First Emperor Ying Zheng didn’t ask too many questions. It sounded like a very profound feeling indeed.
But...it's not as clear as the way of all schools of thought.
It does not have much benefit in governing the country in the Xia Dynasty.
Returning to the throne of the Supreme Being, he watched the famous Dharma Protector, the ordained teacher Shilifang, slowly speaking the "Wonderful Lotus" sutra.
It's actually in excellent condition.
"Wonderful Lotus?"
"Myriad Lotus?"
"interesting!"
"This is okay!"
Zhou Qing felt that what Sri Sri Fang taught was pretty good. He had obtained several volumes of scriptures on the Buddha, and he had some experience with the Buddhist teachings.
What Sri Rifang is talking about at this moment must be the "Lianhua Sutra" that has been written for a long time. It belongs to the Mahayana Sutra and is extremely profound.
Among the twelve people from the pagoda who entered Xianyang Palace, none of them had a profound entrance or a higher level of cultivation.
The level of the half-step entrance hall of Sri Lanka is the best. At this moment, the words "Miaofa Lotus" are spoken, Zen sounds are uttered in the mouth, and the imprint of the Chinese characters is self-generated. Although it is suppressed by Xianyang Palace, the vision is not obvious.
There is still a looming golden lotus lingering around the body, the vitality of heaven and earth is slowly rolling, and a different kind of true meaning of the pagoda is flowing.
The eleven people from the pagoda who followed them all kept whispering "Namo World Honored One", and their brows were all peaceful and composed.
"At that time, the Tathagata let out the light from the white hair between his eyebrows and illuminated the eighty thousand Buddha lands in the east. It spread all over the place. What you see now are all the Buddha lands."
"At that time, the Buddha Sun Moon Lamp Ming emerged from Samadhi, and because of the Bodhisattva Wonderful Light, he spoke the Mahayana Sutra, named Wonderful Dharma Lotus, and taught the Bodhisattva Dharma, which the Buddha protected."
"..."
"Your Majesty, the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, this is a mysterious volume of the Miaofahua."
It takes a full stick of incense to discuss the "Wonderful Lotus" sutra.
Only then did Sri Sri Fang slowly dissipate the great light from the three channels and seven chakras behind his head, disperse the strange phenomena all over his body, and stay in front of His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin.
He was subjected to extremely strong suppression out of thin air.
Just like in the past by King Ashoka's side.
That was Haotian's pity for the king, but the aura of His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin was even richer.
"Everyone, get up."
The First Emperor Ying Zheng was almost asleep.
Because I listened to a stick of incense and gained nothing.
What’s gained?
On the other hand, when he looked at the emperor's brother, he listened with gusto. Maybe that's what practitioners think. Apart from the emperor's brother, both Meng Yi and Dianke were a little boring.
"What you've been waiting for."
"I know."
"The way of the Buddha Buddha is also wonderful. You should go back first and wait for me to think about it."
"Dian Ke, I am very relieved that the Preacher of the Buddha has come to the land of peacocks from afar, and I will be rewarded by you."
He looked at Dian Ke and nodded.
"Thank you so much, His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin!"
Li Fang of the Pagoda Room clasped his hands together and bowed again.
His expression was neither sad nor happy.
"Master, please come this way."
The Dianke also bowed with a bow, followed suit, and led the people from the pagoda out of the Xingle Palace and out of the Xianyang Palace. To be honest, I... didn't understand their so-called Buddha's teachings.
"The leader of the Peacock Kingdom, King Ashoka, really likes the way of Lord Buddha?"
The First Emperor Ying Zheng stood up from his throne, stretched his muscles and bones, and after a stick of incense, he was really tired, especially since he still didn't understand what he was listening to.
He looked at the emperor's younger brother and smiled.
"Buddha World Honored One integrates all things with his Tao body, and his wisdom is not inferior to that of our Taoist ancestors."
"The way has its own subtleties, but it is... difficult to understand for a while. In fact... all the ways have the same origin, and the cultivation of principles is similar to the highest level."
Zhou Qing laughed at it, it was indeed very interesting.
"Wonderful Dharma Lotus"!
This sutra can be regarded as one of the fundamental sutras of the Mahayana Sutra.
"Since the prince has gained something, then... let the young man make a copy of the many scriptures he donated during his trip to Futu and send them over."
"Preach?"
"I don't even understand what the World Honored One's way is, so how can all the people of Xia hear it?"
"In the early years, when Futu entered Zhuxia, they were blamed for it. Even so, they still went to Xianyang in person to talk about Taoism with me, hoping to preach it."
"I will not care about their serious crimes."
“Let’s stop preaching!”
The first emperor Yingzheng said that the Qin Dynasty governed the country according to law.
Before the government thoroughly understands the foreign ways, it is impossible for them to be allowed to spread. If it were not for their respect, they would have been suppressed long ago.
"The Way of the Buddha!"
"Obscure and difficult to understand, the prince once said that Buddha Buddha is just the same as the founder of Taoism."
"Meng Yi is surprised that the founder of Taoism only left one volume of scriptures. Why did the Buddha Buddha leave so many scriptures?"
"One book of scripture, one principle."
"Everyone has a different understanding of the same truth."
Chang Shi Mengyi, who was waiting on one side, took half a step forward and felt something.
"Hahaha, long history can get the impression by comparing the scriptures passed down by Confucianism to the Buddha Buddha."
Zhou Qing laughed.
Meng Yi was really a little... confused by this question.
"this……."
"Meng Yi is ashamed."
Hearing this, Meng Yi suddenly understood.
He bowed quickly and shook his head.
Yes.
There are many true scriptures, but the principles are the same.
There are many scriptures in Confucianism, but the core is still benevolence and etiquette.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if there is any news from the two counties in Hexi?"
In the land of peacocks, everyone in the pagoda visited Xingle Palace. It was just an interlude. The words passed by. Zhou Qing bowed and asked about another thing.
When the Loulan envoy met before, he said that the Xiongnu virtuous kings had entered Wusun.
Now, several days have passed, and I wonder if there is any new news.
"Wait for another day or two."
Ying Zheng has also been waiting for news from Li Xin.
Unfortunately, there has been no news yet, and the men he sent out have not returned yet.
******
"Sri Fang!"
"How do you feel about meeting His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin today?"
Half an hour later.
In the foreign affairs office in the west city of Xianyang, Sri Lanka and his party gathered together in their small courtyard. Each barefoot and bald man had a mysterious light shining around his body.
Venerable Luohu of the Buddha is sitting in the depths, with three rounds of seven meridians and ten levels of great light of wisdom arising from the back of his head. His hands are clasped together, and golden character marks are rising and falling all around his body.
He and a group of disciples of the World Honored One at the Arhat level did not go.
According to the records in the Pagoda Secret Collection, the more powerful the monarch is, the greater the pressure on them.
A great king like King Asoka, when he came to visit him, he was under great pressure and could only exert his strength to the third level.
Even many methods cannot be used.
The same goes for the Arhat level, and they will also be severely suppressed.
It is just like Sri Lanka's level of cultivation, which is just right.
"Your Majesty!"
"Maybe... it's a little difficult."
Having stayed with the famous protector king for many years, although I don’t know much about His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin, I understand the king myself and understand the meaning behind their words.
Sure enough, the First Emperor of Qin allowed them to preach, and there would be clear words in that hall.
Partially born, no words left.
Perhaps the previous preachers of the World Honored One were dissatisfied with His Majesty the First Emperor.
Maybe it’s the World Honored One’s way itself… No, the World Honored One’s way is so exquisite and extraordinary, how can there be flaws?
"But the Wuzhen Commandery Marquis stopped him?"
Luohu asked again.
The true identity of the Taoist sage with whom he fought back then was the current Wuzhen Commandery of Da Qin. Since entering Xianyang, he has gained a clearer understanding of him.
High position and authority!
The half-brother of His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin!
Every word and deed has a great influence on the First Emperor. He does not like the way of the World Honored One and blocks it, which will be their disaster.
