Chapter 1315 Bottle Filling Method (22)
"Are you going to Pingkangfang to watch the Sumo Wrestling Show there, or are you going to see the prostitute brothel today?" Su Wu put down the sea bowl in his hand and tilted it towards Tao Zu. He glanced at it and asked.
Tao Zuhun said nonchalantly: "If you still have some free time after watching sumo wrestling, you might as well go for a walk."
"Yeah, it's good to go shopping." Hong Renkun echoed.
Zhang Fang, who was eating wontons, also raised his head at this time. He smiled and wanted to echo their words, but after looking at Su Wu's expression, he finally shut up honestly.
Jiang Yingying looked at the calm expressions on Tao Zu and Hong Renkun's faces, and couldn't help but chuckle a few times.
"Okay, just go and take a look."
Su Wu put down the money and responded to Tao Zu and others' request.
There are many brothels in Pingkangfang Prostitute Village. It is true that it is the most famous red light district among the shops in Chang'an City. However, there are not only brothels and prostitutes in this brothel. All kinds of entertainment venues are gathered in Pingkangfang.
To go there, you don’t necessarily have to visit a brothel.
Everyone left the food stall and set off again to Ci'en Temple.
They wandered all the way and finally arrived at Ci'en Temple in the afternoon.
Da Ci'en Temple is a wishing temple built by Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, for his mother, Queen Wende. After Xuanzang traveled to the west to obtain the Brahma Sutra, he built another pagoda in Ci'en Temple after returning to Chang'an. The famous work " Da-Yan Tower'. In later generations, the reputation of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was even greater than that of Ci'en Temple.
After experiencing the Wu and Zhou Dynasties, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is now ten stories high.
When Su Wu and others stood outside the gate of Ci'en Temple, they could see the spire of the mud-yellow pagoda rising under the blue sky behind the high wall of the towering gate.
At this time, there were crowds of people in front of the mountain gate of Ci'en Temple, like a marketplace. Being among this dense crowd, Su Wu could hear cheers from time to time: "Namo Amitabha!"
“Master Vajra Tripitaka’s merits are immeasurable!”
"Master has mercy!"
"Thank you, Master, for giving me the initiation!
Master, if you are compassionate, you will definitely become a Buddha! "
…
Waves of cheers and praises erupted from the crowd, reminding Su Wu that he had come to the right place now - King Kong Zhi came with the team of Tubo envoys and had just met Emperor Xuanzong yesterday, so he was starting now Provide 'empowerment' to Buddhist believers.
In order to spread the reputation of Tantra, he can be said to be working hard and non-stop.
The reason why so many people gathered in front of the gate of Ci'en Temple is precisely because Vajra Zhi walked out of the temple, personally "initiated" Buddhist believers, and threatened to select a few people who have deep connections with Buddhism among the people here. disciple!
Therefore, Su Wu saw not only traffickers and merchants in the crowd, but also some monks in monk's robes. These monks were also mixed in the crowd, stretching their necks to go to the people who burst out with cheers. Looking at the position, I would recite two verses of sutras loudly from time to time, hoping to attract the attention of Vajra Tripitaka and be accepted by his disciples!
Vajra Tripitaka met with the saint yesterday. This achievement alone has surpassed 99% of the monks and Taoists today.
Especially with the saint's desire to rule the world, he was able to be summoned by the saint, and he showed the method of taming devils in front of the saint, and the saint designated Daci'en Temple as his residence - all the signs have shown that,' The success of the Vajra Tripitaka is just around the corner.
It is only natural that such a monk who is about to become famous wants to accept disciples.
If you can worship the Vajra Tripitaka at this time, you will be as popular as the Vajra Tripitaka, but it is obvious that fame and wealth will follow after that!
For many monks, becoming a Buddha and becoming a saint are too far away, and it is obviously more important to achieve a lifetime of prosperity and wealth.
Su Wu knew the current situation and did not continue to crowd towards the 'Vajra Tripitaka' with the crowd.
He stood here, with his mind turning, he had already seen the situation on the side of the 'Vajra Tripitaka'.
Vajra Tripitaka has a dark-yellow complexion, a hooked nose, a layer of jet-black hair on top of his head that is slightly curled, and two equally curly beards on his lips.
This kind of appearance is the appearance of people from Brahmaland.
Jinglian also spread the Dharma from Brahma to Tubo, with the same appearance.
This monk who is famous as "Vajra Wisdom" also came from the Brahma land. After becoming famous in Tubo, he brought his great reputation to the Tang Dynasty to teach the Dharma.
At this time, Vajra Zhi lowered his eyebrows and looked peaceful and compassionate.
He was holding a glass vase in one hand. There was no liquid in the translucent vase, but as he moved his palms around, the void seemed to turn into a sponge soaked in water. As he moved, With his gesture, pure water slowly seeped out and was put into the glass vase.
Not long after, the glass vase was half full, and he raised his hand to signal to the waiting people.
The Tang Dynasty had already seen how other people received this 'blessing empowerment', and he immediately followed the example of others, lowering his head, bowing his body, clasping his hands together, and kept chanting 'Namo Amitabha', and then In the sound of reciting the Buddha's name, the glass vase suddenly hung upside down——
The pure water in the bottle poured down, flowing through the Tang man's hair and neck, and drenched all over his body.
Although water poured down from his body, the hair on his head, skin, and clothes were all as dry as ever. Until finally, a stream of yellowish and putrid turbid water seeped out from under his shoes and slowly seeped into the ground.
Many people from the Tang Dynasty who were watching this scene were all amazed.
Even though they had seen this scene many times before, they still found it unbelievable when they saw it again.
King Kong Zhi put away the glazed vase at this time, and with a smile on his face amidst the exclamations of the people around him, he looked at the Tang man who had received the initiation and said loudly: "You have the energy of the five turbidities in your body, and now you have received the 'Tian Shui' initiation. There is a feeling of 'the body is as light as a swallow and the mind is clear'.
In the next few months, there will be no bad luck, and you will receive temporary blessings. "
"Thank you, Master, thank you Master!
Amitabha, Amitabha! "The man couldn't help but feel happy. He really felt that his body was much lighter. When he looked around, he felt that the surrounding scene was much clearer and more real.
All these signs made him believe that he had received a blessing!
Vajra Zhi returned the greeting with one hand in front of his chest, and then walked towards the next Buddhist believer holding the glass vase. Su Wu observed Vajra Zhi's actions in the crowd and knew where the "Heavenly Water" he collected came from. Such "Heavenly Water" can indeed eliminate the turbid qi of human body diseases and make people healthy. It can temporarily cover the calamity and prevent people from being sneaky in a short period of time.
The reason why it is so effective is because the "heavenly water" is formed by the concentration of Vajra wisdom.
His "Yi" cultivation level is quite high, and he can refine the emptiness into reality. He will disperse the nature and intention in the void at the moment, and then gather the nature and intention under the turning of the mind, collect it into water droplets, and empower the people around him in the Tang Dynasty. Those who have received the empowerment For people in the Tang Dynasty, the five turbidities were naturally eliminated instantly, and because they were contaminated with the nature of Vajra Wisdom, some sneaky people who offended those who received the initiation would be frightened away by the nature of Vajra Wisdom.
However, this method will no longer be effective if you encounter a 'ferocious level' enemy.
Su Wu's thoughts wandered here, and he had already deduced that the current level of "Vajra Wisdom" has reached the "Tathagatagarbha". Such a level is already rare in the world. It is no wonder that King Kong Wisdom became the protector of Tubo. The divine monk became famous in Tubo.
This monk who carries the Tathagatagarbha has a complex body of causes and effects that have contaminated countless lives.
He traveled to Tubo, the Brahma Land, the Lion Kingdom and other places, and must have killed many people with his own hands. Su Wu speculated that when he was giving initiations to people in Tubo, he would not be as willing as he was to the people of Chang'an. All kinds of bloody and filthy "water" are given to people for empowerment.
The reason why he could be so kind-faced, solemn and peaceful in Chang'an was because there were bigger rules that restricted him, preventing him from treating the people of the Tang Dynasty like the people of Tubo.
Su Wu felt that the Vajra Wisdom that was being used to pour down the bottle at this time was quite interesting, so he stopped and watched it for a while.
The Vajra Zhi walked up to two monks in gray clothes. The two monks hurriedly put their hands together and said to Vajra Zhi: "If the disciple wants to practice Zhenyana Dharma, please ask the master to be the disciple's guide!"
The two monks looked nervous and looked at Vajra Zhi expectantly.
After they said the words, the crowd around them fell silent for a moment, watching this scene with bated breath - although Master Vajra Zhi said today that he would accept three disciples among the people here, from the morning until now, Master Vajra Zhi has not There is no mention of accepting disciples, which is so suspicious. The so-called Master Vajra Zhi will accept three disciples today is a rumor spread by outsiders.
At that moment, a monk was the first to speak out, requesting to become a disciple, which just happened to verify this rumor.
Master Vajra Zhi listened to the words of the two monks and caressed the tops of their heads. His palm rubbed sand on the tops of their heads for a while. Su Wu also looked at that palm carefully for a while.
This palm has probably been used to rub sand on many magical instruments made from the bones of the head.
After a while, Master Vajra Zhi put down his palm, still causing water droplets to seep out of the void, gathering them in the glass vase, and irrigated the two monks respectively.
After the two monks received the bottle-irrigation, they felt as if they were lost for a moment.
Although the master did not say it clearly, they already understood that the master did not see the "Buddha affinity" in them and was unwilling to accept them as disciples.
When the people watching the Tang Dynasty saw Vajra Zhi walking by the two monks, they suddenly expressed regret.
They also saw that the two monks had no predestined relationship to be accepted as disciples by Master Vajra Zhi.
At this time, Vajra Zhi passed through the crowd and walked towards the other two monks not far away. These two monks have wrinkled faces and gray beards, but they are two half-century old men.
They also have some reputation in Chang'an, and there are quite a few people from the Tang Dynasty who know them.
"Zen Master Dazhi, Zen Master Dahui!"
"These two Zen masters are also here. Are they here to ask for bottle-filling, or are they here to become their masters?"
"Isn't it better for them to be abbots at Yunshui Temple outside the city than to be disciples of others? Now they are coming to Ci'en Temple, probably not to worship Master Vajra Zhi, but because they are confused about their practice and want to consult Master Vajra Zhi?
It can’t be like us, just for the bottle of blessing, right? "
Amid the discussion among many people in the Tang Dynasty, Master Vajra Zhi walked up to the two Zen masters Dazhi and Dahui. The two old monks looked a little nervous, and they both joined their hands and saluted the sacred monk from the Brahma Land, calling him 'senior brother'.
They called Brahmadhi Monk this way, which made the people around him believe that their original intention of coming here was not to worship Master Vajra Zhi as their teacher. They should really have confusion in practice and wanted to discuss it with Master Vajra Zhi. After all, if it were for the purpose of becoming a disciple, he would not treat Master Vajra Zhi as an equal at this time.
The original purpose of Zen Masters Dazhi and Dahui was indeed as imagined by the people around them.
But when Vajra Zhi spoke, they changed their original purpose: "You two have a deep affinity with Buddha and have a master-disciple relationship with me.
Why don't you worship me as your master?
I know your confusion. Your practice is not in the ‘precepts’ but in the ‘secret tantras’. ”
The so-called ‘precepts’ are the various precepts observed by Vinaya monks. When they see the precepts, they may be enlightened or fall into practice.
The so-called ‘secret tantras’ are the great Dharma of Tantra.
The meaning of Vajrabodhi’s words at that moment is to tell the two monks, Dazhi and Dahui, that they can no longer achieve anything by practicing the precepts and cannot make any progress in their practice.
However, if they follow him to practice the Tantra, they will be able to make great progress!
