Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 222: White Horse Temple
In the early morning of the next day, Huwei Hou Yanghu and his disciples left Luoyang. Before leaving, he revealed to Gui Bugui that he was going to Liaodong to find another former disciple of Xi Yingzhen—Bai Lixi. The first person in the world to refine the artifact is the most famous one among Xi Yingzhen's former disciples. It is said that Bailixi and Xi Yingzhen's great warlock have been inseparable over the years. Yanghu master and apprentice plan to try their luck in the past. And Bailixi seems to know the news of Xi Yingzhen's other disciples. This time, I met the alchemist. Even if the great warlock Xi Yingzhen was not found, Yang Hu did not intend to end it like this.
Three months later, Cai Yin and Qin Jing, who were envoys to the Western Regions, sent back Kuaima with news. Their mission met the eminent monks of Tianzhu, Shemo Teng and Zhu Flan, in the country of Dayuezhi. Both of them were eminent monks of the Tao of Tianzhu and were spreading the Dharma in the country of Dayuezhi. Cai and Qin saw the Buddhist scriptures and the white felt statue of Sakyamuni Buddha beside the two eminent monks. After two people's lobbying, the two eminent monks have agreed to come to Dahan to spread the teachings of Buddhism.
After the news came, the emperor's dragon heart was overjoyed. Immediately issued an imperial decree to come, and all levels of ceremonial officials were ready to welcome the Dharma and eminent monks. for a while. The Shimen disciples who had been ignored in Luoyang City had become very popular. Almost every day, officials in the DPRK and China invited these shaved monks to the mansion to lecture on the scriptures, and the monks who had been like beggars had now become noble people.
A year later, Cai Yin and Qin Jing returned to Luoyang with two eminent monks from Tianzhu. The emperor Liu Zhuang even exalted the honorable, and personally brought the prince and civil and military officials to greet the two Tianzhu eminent monks in front of the city gate. When he saw thirty white horses carrying Buddhist scriptures, Liu Zhuang issued an edict to build a monastery in the north of Sanli Yudao, outside Xiyongmen, Luoyang. Because the Buddhist scriptures are carried by thirty white horses, the temple is named White Horse Temple. This is also the first government-run monastery when Buddhism was introduced to the East.
Originally meant by Liu Zhuang. I wanted to invite two eminent monks to be the first chairpersons and supervisors of the White Horse Temple. However, the two Tianzhu monks said that they only came to the Han to spread the Dharma, and had no plans to stay there. Soon the two will return to Tianzhu. As for the first host of the White Horse Temple, it is better to ask the Han nationals to serve as the first host.
Not enough Buddhism is a new religion after all, these monks in Luoyang City can only memorize a few sentences which are not very smooth translation. As for what the Buddhist scriptures they recite say. I'm afraid the monks themselves can't tell. Those who can integrate the original and translated versions of the Buddhist scriptures have searched for monks in Luoyang City, but no one can explain it clearly.
In the end, Shimo Teng mentioned a candidate. Kasyapa, the host of Xinjue Temple in Jiujiang County (formerly Huainan Kingdom), was his junior brother in Tianzhu Temple. Master Kasyamo is a half-blood of Han and Tianzhu. Jia was born in Tianzhu since he was a child. He was proficient in Buddhism in his youth and came to the Han Dynasty to spread the Dharma decades ago. And all night Han culture, it is really the best choice for the first host of the White Horse Temple.
After listening to Shemoteng's recommendation, Liu Zhuang immediately issued the imperial decree. Go to Xinjue Temple in Shouchun City, Jiujiang County. Go and invite Master Kasyapa to lead the disciples into the palace to teach the Fa for the royal family.
More than a month later, Kasyapa led his junior brother Zhimi Yuan and his disciples to Luoyang City. After entering the palace to meet the emperor Liu Zhuang, he first taught the scriptures for the children of the royal family of the Liu family. Liu Zhuang, who had just been enlightened under the influence of the Buddhist teachings of two eminent monks from Tianzhu, Shemo Teng and Zhu Flan, was greatly inspired, and he was even more astonished by Master Kayemo. Immediately, he was named Zen Master Fu Sheng for protecting the country. Inaugurated as the first chairperson of the White Horse Temple. Kasyapa's younger brother was obsessed with being the superintendent of the White Horse Temple, and other temple positions in the temple were also held by several other disciples of Fusheng Zen Master Huguo.
Shemo Teng and Zhu Flan stayed in the White Horse Temple to translate the Dharma. Although the two did not have any temple posts. However, it can be regarded as a great contribution to the spread of Buddhism.
The White Horse Temple was built by the emperor's imperial decree, and it took many years to complete the construction. Completion date. The emperor sent the prince and his civil and military officials to watch the ceremony and congratulate him. Among the congratulatory crowd, there was actually a court alchemist who remained in the palace. But after watching the ceremony, the alchemist asked the emperor for leave and returned to the alchemist sect. The emperor did not hold back in the slightest, and did not say more polite words. It's almost as if there's nothing wrong and you don't come back. Since then, the title of court alchemist no longer exists in the palace. On the contrary, several eminent monks walked around the palace from time to time.
However, Wu Mian and Gui Bugui were among the disciples brought by Master Kasyapa. But he didn't see the disciple named Guangxiao soon after his new harvest. Later, through the mouths of other disciples, they learned that Zen Master Guangxiao stayed in Xinjue Temple and had replaced his master, Master Kasyamo, as the presiding abbot of Xinjue Temple.
According to what the monk asked by Gui Wugui. Although Chan Master Guangxiao became a disciple of Shimen not long ago. But under the teachings of Master Kasyamo. Comprehension of the Dharma a thousand miles a day. When he came to Luoyang, Master Kasyapa knew that the emperor intended to canonize himself as the chairperson of the White Horse Temple. But Xinjue Temple can't be without people who are in charge of the house. Now before departure. He passed on the chair of Xinjue Temple to Guangxiao.
Guangxiao, who has become a monk, did not come to Luoyang with Kasyapa, which made it a little unexpected. Originally, according to the old guy's thoughts, the monk Kasyamo has reached his twilight years, and he will pass away in a few years. And the stubborn monk Yuan has a rough character and is not suitable for hosting the White Horse Temple. In comparison, only Guangxiao, the second generation of disciples, was brave enough to take up the important task of chairing the White Horse Temple, but he stayed in Shouchun City as a small chair of Xinjue Temple. This was really unexpected.
Staying in Luoyang City for a while, I saw that the old monk Kasyapa, who was the host of the White Horse Temple, was in high spirits. He had no intention of calling Guangxiao from Xinjue Temple to White Horse Temple. There is no point in staying in Luoyang City for these people at the moment. After discussing it over, they left the butler to watch the house in the mansion. Several of them used their own escape methods to return to Shouchun City, and stared at the Zen Master Guangxiao to see what tricks he could come up with.
Returned to Shouchun City, after meeting Peng Hua Yin. Gui Bugui pretended to check his disciple's technique. After a few years, Peng Huayin's technique was almost the same as when they left Shouchun City. The old guy regrets teaching this disciple a little, and ordinary disciples follow him to learn techniques for decades. Even if you can't study, you're almost dead of old age. However, this Peng Huayin is immortal like him, watching his technique every day, and he will be mad at him sooner or later.
"Okay, that's it. It's almost done. From tomorrow onwards, you won't have to practice every day. Anyway, if you practice every day and practice once a year, it's almost the same." After a long time, Fa couldn't make a Peng Hua Yin from Mars, and after sighing heavily, he said to the shy Peng Hua Yin again: "When I leave, old man, you have done everything you explained. ?"
"I don't dare to neglect this" Penghua Yin paused for a while, and continued with a smile: "After you left Shouchun, Hua Yin went to Xinjue Temple to soak in every day. He accompanied the old monk every day. , Little monks and the others preached the scriptures, if it wasn't like this, Hua Yin's art would not have been so long and there would have been little effort."
After finding an explanation for his sluggishness in one sentence, and seeing the expression of no blame on Gui Bugui's face, Peng Huayin continued: "Those monks are the same as before, not chanting scriptures in the temple, Just came out to beg for alms. That guy named Guangxiao didn't do much either...;...;"
When talking about this, Peng Hua Yin suddenly thought of something. After a pause, he continued: "But there is one thing Hua Yin wants to explain to your old man. Almost a year ago, their Xinjue Temple accepted another monk named Guan Wuming. This Guan Wuming is said to be from before Guangxiao. Disciple, come to re-enroll as a teacher. However, the old monk Kasyapa said that the name Guanwuming has a demonic nature, and immediately gave him a Dharma name called Shijie. The monk Shijie was regarded as the second disciple of the monk Guangxiao, and later the old monk After taking the people to Luoyang, Guangxiao sent the monk Shijie to travel to get the Tao."
