I've been homesick for a long time, and I've always looked forward to it.
It's not the scenery of the mountains in front that can make guests sad.
Pingwu is connected to the sea, and a single tree is hidden deep in the clouds.
Outside the setting sun, it was clear that the birds were gone.

That night, the young monk walked out of the window and folded stones and knelt in Abbot Kong's monastery. He had a handsome appearance and lively eyes. He was just short in stature and his skin was a little dark. However, these shortcomings were covered up by his wide robes.
When the moon rose into the sky, Abbot Lukong walked out of the house. He looked at the stack of stones by the window and said calmly: "
Why are you here?"
He stacked stones by the window and cried: "I am guilty, and I hope that the master will repent for his disciples."
Abbot Lokong said, "You bring your sins, and I will repent for you."
He stacked stones at the window and said, "I don't know the crime. I can't find it if I find it."
Abbot Lokong said, "I have finished repenting for you. However, I failed, so you should look for it from the Three Treasures."
The layman said: "I have known the Sangha since I became a disciple, but I still don't know what Buddha is and what Dharma is."
The master said: "The human heart is the Buddha and the Dharma. The Buddha's Dharma is the same! Do you know?"
The layman said: "I know! Sin is not inside or outside the body, nor does it reside in it. Just like Master, the human heart and the Dharma are all the same!"
It turned out that Yamamoto, like Hojoemon, was a secret agent of the Fuso Hojo Domain. After Hojoemon delivered the stolen martial arts secrets, ordnance manufacturing, mountains and rivers maps, Chang'an officials' preferences and other information back to Japan, the Hojo Domain Lord was overjoyed. Through the analysis of this information
According to the analysis, the Hojo clan rose rapidly in the fields of military, trade and other fields, standing out from other clans. This also strengthened the belief of the Hojo clan lord to continue sending spies to the Tang Dynasty to steal intelligence.
The lord of the Hojo domain had three sons. The eldest son, Hojo Masaru, was a concubine. He was highly skilled in martial arts and brave in martial arts. The second son, Hojo Masabi, was an adopted son. He was extremely intelligent and had a photographic memory. The third son, Nobuchiyo, was the legitimate son, talented in both civil and military affairs.
After making up his mind, Lord Hojo sent all three of his sons eastward to the Tang Dynasty. The eldest son, Hojo Masaru, sneaked into Shaolin, and the second son, Hojo Mabei, hid in White Horse Temple. The third son, Nobu Chiyo, looked the most like a Tang person and spoke the most like a Tang person in Mandarin, so he was dispatched
When going to Chang'an, Hojo Mabei didn't know exactly where he was or what he was doing.
After Hojo Mabe escaped to Hakuba Temple, he changed his name to Yuguang Laishi. With his photographic memory, he browsed a lot and recited the classics in Hakuba Temple. Then under the pretext of going out to beg for alms, he recited and transcribed the classics and gave them to the outside of the temple.

Then, four volumes of "Siyi Brahma Sutra", one volume of "Xianjie Sutra", twenty-seven volumes of "Dapin Prajna Sutra", and one volume of "Miscellaneous Parables Sutra", which are the treasures of the White Horse Temple Sutra Pavilion, were
Zen Master Cheng Ming, the leader of Luohan Hall, was watching over him day and night, and he never found a chance to go out and stack rocks.
After several years, he found nothing about these treasures. At the beginning, he was quite anxious and deliberately wanted to complete the task. As time went by, it didn't matter anymore. It didn't matter, but it didn't mean that he had forgotten it.
task, but his state of mind has changed greatly.
At the beginning, he just pretended to be a monk. He used the chanting time of morning and evening classes to memorize classic Buddhist scriptures. For these Buddhist scriptures, the eminent monks in the temple often interpreted them to clarify the profound Buddhist scriptures.
The wise debates between the brothers also brought unexpected gains and inspiration to You Chuang Lai Shi.
Due to memorizing a large number of Buddhist scriptures, these Buddhist scriptures were deeply engraved in the mind of You Chuang Dieshi. The classic French words in the Buddhist scriptures lingered in his ears all the time. Slowly, You Chuang Dieshi gradually understood the taste of Buddhism.
I am sincerely willing to convert to Buddhism and become a practitioner.
The appearance of Yamamoto broke this peaceful life. He brought a secret order from the Hojo domain lord, asking Yu Chuang to stack the stones as soon as possible to collect the treasures of the Sutra Pavilion: "Siyi Brahma's Questions Sutra" and "Xian Jie Sutra"
", "Dapin Prajna Sutra", "Miscellaneous Parable Sutra", etc. were secretly recited.
In desperation, You Chuang Dieshi discussed a plan with Yamamoto Ye. Through Yama Benno's provocation with force, Zen Master Chengming, the most powerful martial artist in White Horse Temple, was lured out of the Sutra Pavilion. Then, You Chuang Dieshi waited for an opportunity to enter the Sutra Pavilion.
In just one hour, he could memorize at least "The Sutra Asked by Siyi Brahma" and "The Great Prajna Sutra" silently.
