[Red Mansion] February is the season of wishing

Xuanzang said: "Amitabha, that's right." Then he introduced everyone one by one.

Xichun, a nun; Sun Wukong, a monkey demon; Ao Lie, a white dragon; Bone Demon... people live up to their names.

Tang Taizong had a good self-cultivation and was able to hold back. Some ministers behind him were already in an uproar.If it wasn't for a real dragon inside, they would have said "Wow" immediately and said angrily, "Don't go, the evildoer".

Tang Taizong looked at their empty sleeves and asked, "Where are the Buddhist scriptures?"

Xuanzang untied the bag tied around his waist, and with a thought, he arranged the scriptures inside neatly in front of the hall.

The hall was immediately covered with books.

Minister: "... Immortal!!!"

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was both surprised and delighted, and said: "The sage's talent is astonishing. If he is willing to return to the vulgar world, he will be appointed as an official and worship his prime minister. It will be a good story for the emperor and his ministers!"

Xuanzang made way: "The poor monk is willing to abide by the precepts and expound Buddhism."

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty obeyed Xuanzang's aspirations, invited Xuanzang to enter the palace to make offerings to, and ordered to choose a hall to be set up as a scripture translation institute. Regardless of whether his apprentices were male, female, monsters or monsters, all of them were sealed off as officials and stuffed into the scripture translation institute. .

Everyone praised: "The emperor is wise."

Xuanzang focused on translating scriptures day and night. He presided over the translation of scriptures for 19 years, and translated 75 scriptures and treatises, with 330 volumes.The Buddhist classics in the heyday of Nalanda Temple were translated by Xuanzang, and all the essentials of the scriptures were transmitted to China.

The above is excerpted from the preface of "Da Tang Western Regions" written by later generations.

……

Xichun had no interest in translating scriptures, and wandered around Chang'an for a few years with the merit of "learning scriptures".

After the Buddha sensed it, he felt relieved.

But at this time, Kasyapa came to report: "On the westbound road, there are many scattered immortals who have become earth immortals based on Buddhist principles. Do you want to lead them into this place of bliss?"

The Buddha said: "They were originally monsters, how could they come?"

Kasyapa was about to report again, Xunzi walked in lightly, and said with a smile: "Confucianism advocates teaching without discrimination. If the Buddha doesn't like it, we Confucianism will want it."

The Buddha thought to himself, what Confucianism?He had been misrepresented as Confucianism by that kid Dong Zhongshu—if not, why would they come here to pull people?

Wang Yangming also came in at some time, and said: "Although they are monsters, they have a clear heart and are worthy of learning Confucianism."

The Buddha snorted: "No way! Since you have learned Buddhism to become an immortal, you should continue to study Buddhism!"

Wang Yangming laughed and said: "You Buddhists have closed your eyes and listened for a long time, but you don't know that Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism have merged now, and you are still guarding this three-acre land." He said, "Even if you let them enter Leiyin Temple , and they learn nothing."

Xunzi, who integrated Confucianism and Legalism, echoed: "Yes, yes, it is better to attract them to learn our Confucianism."

The Buddha said: "How are you doing? I'm afraid they don't even know how to write the word 'Confucianism'."

Wang Yangming said frankly: "Entrusted by the way of heaven, let the Buddha give Xuanzang a title as a master and disciple." After finishing speaking, he also felt that this statement was a bit funny, so he couldn't help but smile.

But the Buddha couldn't laugh at all.

The way of heaven, the way of heaven again!

In a daze, he recalled the fear of being struck by lightning.

"Okay..." the Buddha tried to calm down, and immediately spread the Buddha's voice, "Xuanzang is the Buddha of Zhantan Gongde, Wukong is the Buddha of Fighting and Defeat, Ao Lie is the Bodhisattva of Tianlong Jiedi, and the bones are the Bodhisattva of enlightenment and enlightenment."

"There's one less." Taishang Laojun also came at some time, and said with a smile, "Her father is also a Taoist, so it's okay to let her get a Taoist vocation."

The Buddha gritted his teeth, and was about to say the name of a Bodhisattva. The Lantern Buddha closed his eyes, and said slowly in a Buddhist voice: "Xichun is Nanwu Pure Wisdom Buddha."

Namo Pure Joyful Buddha: "???"

The order of the burning Buddha has the highest teeth. Once he speaks, it cannot be changed.After all the Buddhas were shocked, they finally accepted it.

Wang Yangming also smiled and said, "Okay, okay, okay." He clapped his hands three times and floated out with Xunzi.

The Buddha and the Taishang Laojun smiled wryly at each other.

Burning Buddha saw them grinding and chirping, feeling sneaky, shook his head and said: "Buddha, Taoism and Dharma are declining, why should you stick to the gains and losses in a small world?"

The Buddha was stunned for a moment, his heart was empty, and then he sighed.

Yeah...that world.
