Golden Mountain Temple, Mahavira Hall.
Guan Yin Bodhisattva, who had transformed into an old monk, watched Chen Xuanzang's back as he left, frowning.
Then, he turned to look at Chen Xuanzang's master, Monk Faming, and asked curiously,""Master Fa Ming, may I ask if this little monk of your temple has always been so clear-headed?”
During the debate on Buddhism, Guanyin clearly felt that Chen Xuanzang's train of thought was different from the previous Hinayana Buddhist theory, but it was also different from the Mahayana Buddhist theory of Tathagata that she had mentioned.
His Buddhist theory was extremely profound, no different from the Golden Cicada Master that Guanyin knew. However, his perspective on things was completely different now. Some of the perspectives were difficult for Guanyin to deal with.
Thus, Guan Yin asked Master Fa Ming curiously.
When Master Fa Ming heard the question from the old monk that Guanyin had transformed into, he nodded proudly. His wrinkled old face could not hide his joy.
"I won't hide it from you, Old Master. This disciple of mine has an extremely deep understanding of Buddhism. He has only entered the temple for a few months, but he is already unrivaled in the Buddhist debate!”
"Oh? Did he say anything?"
Guanyin asked curiously.
"Xuanzang just entered our Golden Mountain Monastery.”
"Why did you learn Buddhism?"
"Xuanzang replied,'Since you already know, then look for the unknown!”
"The abbot asked again how to learn Buddhism!"
"Xuanzang replied,'My heart has already become a Buddha. There's no need to learn anymore!”
"In the end, the abbot asked,'How can I become a Buddha?”
Monk Faming deliberately paused for a moment. Guanyin continued to ask curiously,"How did he answer?"
Monk Fa Ming put his palms together and revealed a respectful expression."But he made a Buddhist hymn on the spot!”
"At that time, Xuanzang replied,'The body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a bright mirror.”
"Since he said that, everyone in the hall was shocked!"
"The next day, Xuanzang went out and met the abbot again. Xuanzang, since you have become a Buddha and have transformed into Bodhi, why do you need to walk around and stir up dust?”
"I didn't expect Xuanzang to compose another Buddhist hymn!”
"Bodhi is not a tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There is nothing in the world, so how can it attract dust?”
"From now on, no one in our temple will debate with Xuanzang!”
The old monk in Guanyin's form stood there, dumbfounded. Had the Golden Cicada Master's comprehension reached such a level?
If he was in the Great Thunderclap Monastery, the Golden Cicada Master would definitely be able to attain the Golden Body of Buddha with this Buddhist hymn!
"This little monk, is your Buddhist cultivation already so profound?”Guanyin couldn't help but ask.
Monk Fa Ming smiled and shook his head."No, in fact, these two Buddhist hymns were not written by Xuanzang!”
"Who is that?"
"It was done by Xuanzang's father, the previous magistrate of Jiang Prefecture. According to Xuanzang, this was a Buddhist hymn his father wrote when he was teaching him the Buddhist Dharma. It has profound meaning and profound Zen principles!”
"We always knew that the magistrate was the reincarnation of Civil Star, but we never thought that he had the qualifications of a living Buddha and the wonders of a Bodhisattva!”
Monk Faming stood there and praised Li Xiu in front of Guan Yin Bodhisattva.
Guanyin stood there with a calm expression, but she was speechless.
If Monk Fa Ming knew that a Buddha of the Buddhist Sect had been killed by the magistrate, what would his expression be like?
"This old monk has also heard of the name of the magistrate. His actions are indeed extraordinary! Master, this old monk plans to stay in the temple for a few nights. Can I pay a bill here?”
"It's fine for the Great Monk to stay temporarily. I'll go and report this matter to the abbot now!”
And so, Guan Yin Bodhisattva settled down in Jinshan Temple.
That night, Guanyin sat there and pondered for a long time. Finally, her Primordial Spirit materialized and came to Chen Xuanzang's meditation room.
"Forget it, I'll make things difficult for him!”
Guan Yin Bodhisattva then gently pointed her finger in the air, and a cluster of flames instantly lit up in the corner of the meditation room. Soon, it burned into a raging fire, and in an instant, thick smoke billowed!
It was already late at night, and most of the monks in the temple were asleep. Only a few martial monks on night duty patrolled the area.
Seeing that the fire was burning, the monks immediately struck the gong.
"Fire, fire!"
As he beat the gong and shouted, he quickly looked for the water tank in the courtyard. It was filled with rainwater to prevent an accident in the courtyard.
However, the fire burned fiercely. By the time the surrounding monks arrived, the fire had already enveloped the entire meditation room.
"Oh no, this is Xuanzang and the others 'meditation room. None of them have run out yet!”
"It's over. The fire is too big. I can't see clearly at all. Even if I'm not burned to death, I'm afraid I'll have choked to death by now!”
"Poor Xuanzang has the qualifications to be a living Buddha. Is he going to die in a sea of fire today?”
The group of monks stood there anxiously and discussed at once.
Guanyin stood in midair. She had planned to wait for Xuanzang to faint from the smoke before pouring rain to extinguish the fire.
However, at this moment, Xuanzang's actions in the meditation room made him dumbfounded.
When the fire started, Xuanzang, who was in the meditation room, was the first to wake up. He immediately got up and woke up the surrounding disciples.
However, the fire had already blocked the door, and the smoke was so thick that everyone could not open their eyes.
"Xuanzang, we can't open our eyes and run out!”
"Don't make a fuss. Listen to me. Throw the monk robes on the ground and pee. Drench your clothes and wrap them around your head. Don't choke on the smoke. Find a chance to run out!”
"There are already brothers shouting outside. As long as we run out, there will be water to save us. There's no time to lose.”
After saying that, Xuanzang took the lead, untied his belt, and started peeing.
When the others saw Xuanzang doing this, they could only follow suit.
Then, the group of people wrapped their wet monk robes around their heads. Sure enough, they were no longer afraid of the smoke. They found a way out in the smoke and ran out one after another.
After counting, none of the monks in the house had been harmed!
As a result, the monks asked them about the matter out of curiosity. After learning the truth, they were all surprised.
"Junior Brother Xuanzang, this method of yours is indeed effective against people in the sea of fire. However, it's not very elegant to wet your clothes with urine!”
At this moment, a senior brother from the temple who was a scholar couldn't help but say.
At this moment, Xuanzang shook his head and replied seriously,""Senior Brother, this is the Knowledge Barrier! This technique was taught by my father."
"My father once said that saving a life is better than building a seven-storied pagoda. Besides, urine is one's own water. What's the difference between urine and blood? As the saying goes, emptiness is not different from color, and color is not different from emptiness. Since everything is emptiness, why should the heart hate it?”
"It's Shixiong who broke the precepts of anger!"
That senior brother who was a scholar, at this moment, had the mentality of being taught a lesson!
Guan Yin Bodhisattva stood high in the sky in a daze. She looked down at Chen Xuanzang, who had a righteous expression on his face, and her heart was inexplicably blocked.
Where did you get so many tricks? The key is that you can even explain it with Buddhist Dharma in all seriousness!
