In the history of ancient India, the most ridiculous thing happened.
At least in Shipantuo's eyes, it was an absurdly terrible thing. Yes, Xuanzang, as the holder of the special attack on the king, triggered the most outrageous situation he had ever seen. In other words, the whole of India
The most outrageous thing in ancient divine civilization.
Among the seventy countries, the two most powerful kings.
The king of the Harsha Empire who unified most of ancient Indian India!
The incarnation of the Sun God, King Harsha.
The king of East India who unified the eastern region.
Two emperors who were thrown out to scare people prepared to fight at the border because of Xuanzang. Shipantuo was sent as an envoy to the King of East India. The King of East India sneered and said: "I am an ordinary person, and I have always been addicted to the world.
In my joy, I now heard the name of the Chinese monk and came up with the idea of studying the Dharma."
"But if the Chinese monks don't come, I will definitely flatten Nalanda!"
Shipantuo: “…………”
He sighed and said: "It's so familiar."
This kind of operation is familiar to the former Malaysian bandit leader.
Hmm, so familiar...
Flatten Nalanda and take away Tang Xuanzang!
Beat your opponents, steal women... no, steal men.
Shipantuo expressed calmness.
I am familiar with this scene...
calm.
Calm down the hell!!!
The forty-year-old Malaysian bandit feels that his cheek hurts. You emperors came to snatch a monk. Is there something wrong with your brain? By the way, how many emperors has master bewitched along the way? Five, or maybe seven or eight?
?Is it really no problem?
Why does it feel like as long as he is an emperor, he will be possessed by the master when he sees him?
Although he is indeed good-looking.
But his is bigger than mine.
Shipantuo, who was in pain, returned to the Harsha Empire and told King Harsha what had happened.
King Harsha looked at Wei Yuan who was holding a sword beside him.
"Ayuan, have you ever seen an elephant dancing?"
You Xiaer was confused: "No..."
"You saw it today."
King Harsha sneered and directly dragged his army that conquered North India to the border.
King Harsha is an absolutely self-centered emperor. If the opponent has a hard fist, he will only be harder than the opponent. However, when he thought of these words, King Harsha looked at the ranger next to him, his eyes hurt a little, and he silently said this domineering
If so, swallow it.
In the end, the fight failed and the East Indian King had to take a step back.
Accordingly, he wanted to see the most powerful Dharma in the world, so King Harsha readily agreed.
We chose to hold a Dharma conference covering the entire territory of India.
Only this time, it's not just Buddhism.
……………………
The young man followed the majestic teacher and elders and rode an elephant to the capital of the Harsha Kingdom.
Qunu City.
It is said that the king there worked hard to rule and had the courage to rule the world, so this young man desperately wanted to see that capital city. His lineage is ancient Brahmanism, which is still called this today, and was later called Hinduism. Among the sects, most of them are
De Linli is prospering like never before.
Carry on the past and open up the future.
His teacher is the leader of contemporary ancient Brahmanism, with many disciples scattered in seventy countries throughout ancient India. In this era, to be honest, Buddhism has begun to decline, and Nalanda Temple is the last glory, and accordingly
Yes, ancient Brahmanism was at its peak.
The main source of their conflict with Xuanzang is that the latter is almost the second Gautama.
Gautama intended to overthrow the caste system.
This monk from the Tang Dynasty put forward another explanation, but he explained the caste system as dividing based on personal qualities. This seems to be nothing, but the Buddhism he founded is gradual and can be improved.
One’s own understanding quality.
In other words, Xuanzang directly erased the relationship between 'caste' and 'bloodline'.
The higher the innate qualifications, the higher the caste.
And how to determine innate qualifications?
Rely on diligence and practice, that is to say, rely on acquired hard work.
Anyway, you can't rely on boasting about your ancestors.
The most ruthless one is the last level, which is called no caste. That is to say, even if you don't get any results from practice, it just means that you don't have the qualifications to practice Taoism. There is no other hindrance. Caste is directly related to practice learning, etc.
Number.
This Zen staff almost broke the backbone of the caste system.
I'll tell you with that 800-pound Zen rod hitting me on the head.
All beings are equal.
Everyone becomes a Buddha.
All beings are equal.
Everyone becomes a Buddha.
Or to put it in the Chinese style, would princes, generals and ministers rather have their own kind?
"It's an external demon that confuses all living beings. This monk must be expelled!"
The elders spoke through gritted teeth.
But the young man was very confused.
In the entire Wuyin region, the two most powerful emperors hope to take this monk away to their own region. Is it true that what this monk said is false? Is it something that is not beneficial to people? In this case,
So were these two wise and mighty emperors deceived by such words?
The vehicle quickly stopped and stopped moving forward.
The ancient Brahman leader who was still talking about how to defeat the demon monk was confused.
"What's going on? We haven't arrived at Qunv City yet."
He identified the stone tablet next to him, frowned, and rebuked unhappily:
"We are still eighty miles away from Qunu City, why stop?!"
The driver of the car murmured: "I...this, sir, I don't know how to tell you."
The members of the ancient Brahman sect came down to take a look, and then they all fell into silence.
The prayer flags were floating in the sky, as if they were going to cover the entire sky. It was still eighty miles away from Qunu City, but there was really no way to go any further. The young man looked at this scene in disbelief and listened.
Conversations with people next to you.
The king of East India also came.
In addition to the two of them, there are eighteen other emperors who are qualified to participate in this grand event.
This time, wise men from all over India have appeared here.
There are more than 3,000 monks, and there are also more than 1,000 eminent monks attending Nalanda Temple. In addition, there are more than 2,000 wise men from Brahmanism, Jainism, and even folk beliefs from various places, bringing their wise men with them.
With followers, vehicles and elephants, the entire Qunu City within a radius of dozens of miles was overcrowded and overcrowded.
This scene had an unprecedented impact on the young man.
Later, the identity of the wise men of ancient Brahmanism was revealed, and they successfully entered the place where scriptures were debated. For the first time, the young man saw the famous wise men and great virtues from all lands that he could recognize. This almost brought together the entire ancient India.
All the wise men were caught in one fell swoop, but their target was only one person.
A monk murmured in a low voice: "...challenge Master Xuanzang?"
The young man saw his clothes and knew that he was a senior monk from the Hinayana sect.
Buddhism has developed for more than a thousand years, and there are many sects. Under the divisions of Hinayana and Mahayana, each has its own sect. Being able to stand here is enough to prove his ability and status. This man has taken good care of his life in Brahmanism.
The young man asked curiously: "Are you worried that you can't win? But how is this possible?"
The young man who had received the title of wise man at the age of sixteen smiled and said:
"All the wise people from the Buddhist Kingdom and India from the five directions gather here."
"Even Brahma here can't defeat so many brilliant wisdoms. Master Xuanzang, even though he is also a very famous wise man, has only been one-on-one before, and has never faced so many people.
"
The young Brahmin's voice was gentle and his expression was peaceful, which was far beyond the comparison of those who only had this name. The eminent monk sighed and seemed to have found a little confidence and said: "Yes, there are so many of us here. For thousands of years, the Mahayana
Elders from every sect of Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism came here, as well as leaders of Brahmanism and Jainism.”
"So many people, working side by side to deal with him."
"Even Master Xuanzang may not be able to easily defeat us in fifteen days."
The young Brahmin was stunned.
The meaning of this sentence made him a little confused.
At this time, his division commander called him back.
After an unprecedented solemn ceremony, an extremely beautiful woman came out. She was the sister of King Harsha, the most beautiful woman in the entire Harsha Empire. She was very interested in Hinayana Buddhism, but soon, all the wise men in India
They were all attracted by the handsome monk behind her.
"That is...Master Xuanzang...no, it should be Master Tripitaka."
The young Brahmin whispered: "He knows the Buddhist Tripitaka and the true Dharma."
"Tang Sanzang."
A person who has to deal with more than 5,000 wise men from 70 countries in India with one person.
This made his heart tremble uncontrollably.
At this time, he keenly noticed that there were people standing on both sides of the monk. One was a knight dressed as a Tang Dynasty man, holding a sword in his arms. The sword in his arms seemed to be the incarnation of the sun, and the other
He is a man with long yellowish hair, like a monkey.
The eyes of the dignified and beautiful princess fell on the monk's face.
Seems quite sentimental.
But Tang Sanzang didn't seem to notice the most beautiful princess in Tianzhu, and just looked at the people under the city quietly. Just when the young Brahmin thought that the debate was about to begin, the teacher next to him suddenly stood up and shouted
:
"Since ancient times, there have been rewards and punishments for debate. Those who lose must become the disciple of the winner. Is Master Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty also willing to follow this concept?!"
There was an uproar, but no one made a sound.
If you can have Master Tripitaka become your disciple, that would be an unprecedented honor!
You Xiaer spat out the willow leaves in his mouth, secretly took a selfie of the monk's bald head, and stared at the people below with an unkind expression. Over there, Shi Pantuo smiled bitterly. He had also asked about the purpose of his master in the past ten years.
Yes, the latter said that the interpretations of Buddhism in China are all chaotic, making the whole Buddhism a mess.
There is no perfect standard, so he has to come here to get the true scripture.
Logically speaking, you should have already obtained it.
Shipantuo thought.
Even the beautiful princess looked at the speaker with displeasure, which was a great offense to an eminent monk. However, no one expected that Xuanzang agreed, and he said to King Harsha: "Please.
Put my teachings on paper."
King Harsha was puzzled and did so anyway.
Soon, Xuanzang's Consciousness-only Buddhism was written in large words on white paper, and then fell down on the city.
The young Brahmin was puzzled.
The monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty took a step forward with a plain face:
"The Buddhist teachings of the poor monk are all here."
"Whoever can refute this poor monk will be sent to you with his head."
"Step forward and discuss the Dharma with the poor monk."
There was dead silence, and there was no response for a long time.
The monk sat down cross-legged and directly talked about his Dharma. The reason for the analysis was to tell the other party how to refute him. In order to refute him, more than five thousand wise monks listened with peace of mind. And further away, there was a towering
The city is a luxurious white elephant for the emperors and nobles who sit on it——
The beautiful princess drew this scene.
After a long, long time, when history was buried by wind and sand, and the legend had passed away, someone found this painting that was buried with the princess, and took this painting to ask other people what it was.
There is a saying in the West that there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, but they all got the same answer.
"This is what Buddha said..."
An old and devout monk smiled and pointed at the scroll with his finger.
"Look, these are Buddhas, the kings of the human world, and these are the monks."
The traveler looked at a painting. On the scroll, which had turned yellow due to wind and sand, a handsome and gentle monk lowered his eyes and lectured. The leaves of the Bodhi tree shaded him, and a god general holding a sword guarded him.
Around him, monks were either listening intently, or closing their eyes and being intoxicated, looking at the meaning of this painting. There seemed to be thousands of them.
And beside these monks, there are younger monks, so these monks can only be painted very small, with everyone surrounding the gentle monk.
White elephant, Bodhi, the luxuriously dressed human emperor.
Farther away are many ordinary people.
I don't know how many eminent monks and bodhisattvas were listening to a monk's sermon, which was magnificent and solemn.
"This is Buddha..."
The traveler sighed and agreed with the views of these monks. Nothing else. There is almost no difference between this and the Buddha's teachings in the legend. In the era when the legend passed away, it became a new legend.
"For a while, the Buddha was in the country of Savatthi..."
