Chapter 1316: Venerable!
The two monks originally had no intention of becoming a disciple, but when they heard the words of Vajra Zhi and looked at Master Vajra Zhi, voices suddenly came from their hearts - those many voices were all advising them to worship Master Vajra Zhi as their teacher!
If you don’t become a disciple, you will regret it for the rest of your life!
Dazhi and Dahui looked at the gazes of the Tang people around them, and suddenly became excited, and then they knelt down and saluted Vajra Zhi: "Disciple pays homage to Master!"
Master Vajra Zhi accepted two well-known Zen masters from Chang'an as his disciples in one day. After this matter spreads out, his reputation will inevitably become more and more prosperous, like flowers blooming brocade and fire cooking oil!
Accepting two old monks who are over fifty years old is not the purpose of Vajra Wisdom.
His intention was to use the reputations accumulated by the two monks as steps to help him rise higher!
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Two well-known Zen masters who were over fifty years old knelt down to Vajra Zhi on the spot. A gentle smile appeared on Vajra Zhi's face, and he stretched out his hand to caress the heads of the two monks.
A trickle of pure water flowed down from his fingertips and sprinkled on the tops of the two monks' heads.
The scars on the top of the two monks' heads disappeared without a trace after being cleaned by this pure water!
"From now on, you are all my tantric disciples.
You two can still keep your previous names without changing them. "Master Vajra Zhi retracted his palm and said to the two monks, Great Wisdom and Great Wisdom.
"Thank you, Master!" Dazhi and Dahui said in unison.
"Now you can go to the temple and take a rest." Master Vajra Zhi helped the two disciples up from the ground and gave them a few instructions, "I plan to set up the 'Great Mandala Embryo Dojo' in three days." , spread the nectar widely, and empower all sentient beings, and then in the ashram three days later, I will give you the 'Tantric True Vehicle Initiation'."
"The Great Mandala Fetus Dojo?!"
After hearing what the master said, the two monks looked a little excited.
Master Shanwuwei came from the Brahma land. After compiling the Mahavairocana Sutra, the fundamental sutra of Tantra, he established the Tantric tradition in the Tang Dynasty. Among them, the various appearances that manifest the 'endless treasure of splendor', 'pure bodhicitta' and 'original Buddha nature' are the 'womb treasury mandala';
And the various realities arising from the wisdom of the Tathagata Buddha, namely the 'Vajra Realm Fundamental Realization Assembly' and the 'Thirty-Seven Deities', are the 'Vajra Mandalas';
The womb mandala is the "cause of all dharmas", and the vajra mandala is the "fruit of all natures".
If the two monks of Great Wisdom and Great Wisdom can receive empowerment at the Great Mandala Embryo Hall, they will have the root cause of Dharma-nature planted in their own nature from the beginning of their Tantric practice, and will achieve the right fruition thereafter. Witnessing the Buddhas in the Vajra Realm is not that far away!
The two monks kowtowed to Master Vajra Zhi again, and their gratitude was beyond words.
Previously, they suddenly changed their minds and worshiped Master Vajra Zhi as their master on the spot. In fact, Vajra Zhi also confused them with the nature of Tathagatagarbha. But at this time, the two monks received such a promise from Master Vajra Zhi, and then asked Vajra Zhi to teach them. If you salute and worship with wisdom, you are truly sincerely accepting Vajra Wisdom as your teacher!
The practice of Buddhism is all about realizing emptiness and realizing emptiness.
If you can realize the emptiness of emptiness, you can reach heaven in one step and become a figure like the Great Master Transformed by Jinglian, or even a Bodhisattva or a Buddha!
But how easy is it to realize the nature and emptiness of Dharma?
If you don’t know what “empty” is, how can you be “empty”?
If you know what "empty" is and have the concept of "empty" in your heart, how can you get "empty"? !
Now, if they obtain the "root cause of Dharma nature" at the "Great Mandala Womb Repository Dojo", it will be equivalent to planting the root seed of Buddhahood with their own nature power. From then on, they only need to nurture it carefully to make this root seed take root and sprout. That's good - so the tantric method is a 'convenient method'. In terms of 'convenience', Mahayana and Hinayana cannot be compared with it!
People in the Tang Dynasty around them saw that even famous Zen masters like Dazhi and Dahui worshiped Vajra Zhi as their master in a single thought. They had a deeper understanding of the profoundness of the Dharma of 'Vajra Zhi'.
They saw this scene happening, and since then they have concluded that the Dharma achievements of the 'Vajra Zhi Master' have far exceeded the monks at the level of 'Great Wisdom' and 'Great Wisdom'. Monks are no longer worthy of comparison with Master Vajra Wisdom.
Now, in their knowledge, the only ones who can compare with Vajra Wisdom are the Master Shan Wuwei in Xingshan Temple, and the two monks Xuanzang and Guiji who have passed away long ago.
Among the monks in Chang'an, Monk Xuanzang, the Tripitaka master who gained the names of 'Mahayana Heaven' and 'Great Perfect Mirror Wisdom' in the Brahma Land, ranked first in the hearts of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Under this Mahayana monk, the past Master Peeping and Master Puguang, and now the "Shan Wuwei" are extremely famous and seem to be following closely behind.
Now that Master Vajra Zhi has set foot in Chang'an, he has already begun to compete with Shan Wuwei!
Master Vajra Zhi glanced around and saw the awe on the faces of the people around him. He looked calm and said: "Everyone, in three days, the poor monk will set up the 'Big Mandala Embryo Dojo' to eliminate disasters for all living beings." Eliminate misfortunes, increase happiness and longevity, and inspire Buddhist connections.
At that time, you can also come to the ashram and receive the ‘Great Mandala Embryo Initiation’! "
When the two great and wise monks heard that they were going to receive the 'Tantra Initiation' at the 'Great Mandala Embryo Dojo', they could not restrain themselves and were extremely excited - their expressions were all watched by the people of the Tang Dynasty. With a panoramic view, I also know that the dojo set up by Master Vajra Wisdom must be of extremely high standards, and if I can participate in it, there will be a lot of benefits.
All the people in Tang Dynasty were immediately moved.
Now they have been personally invited by Master Vajra Zhi to participate in the Taoist ceremony in the future. Everyone is happy and praises Vajra Zhi.
"Master is compassionate and truly worthy of being a divine monk in Brahma!"
"I will definitely come when the time comes. Master, remember to give me the initiation!"
"Amitabha, Amitabha, a holy monk like you with great merits will definitely become a Buddha in the future!"
…
Jingangzhi clasped his hands together and nodded slightly, in response to everyone's praise. He had previously given bottle-drinking to the local Tang people, which consumed a lot of energy. Looking at the next day, he felt that he had done enough to save face, and he did not want to waste it anymore. Feeling satisfied, he spoke at this moment: "The place where the poor monk will stay has not been completely determined yet, but he is just temporarily staying in the Daci'en Temple.
But after thinking about it for three days, everything will become clear.
At that time, everyone who has heard the news that the poor monk has set up the "Great Mandala Womb Store" can come to watch the ceremony and receive the empowerment.
It's getting close to dusk now, and all the shops are about to close. Let's go home for the time being. "
If all kinds of empowerments are given to ordinary people in the 'Great Mandala Embryo Dojo', the consumption of Vajra Wisdom will definitely be greater.
But he had already planned this.
At that time, the temple in charge of the dojo could be ordered to refuse entry to ordinary Tang people. Afterwards, he would show up and select a few people to be initiated. He could shift the responsibility to the temple and still not damage his increasingly elevated status in the hearts of the people of Chang'an.
The people gathered in front of the mountain gate of Ci'en Temple received such assurance from Master Vajra Zhi. Even though there were many people present who had not received the initiation, they were still satisfied and began to look forward to the 'Initiation Conference' three days later. They all talked with Master Vajra Zhi. Say goodbye.
The crowd gradually dispersed.
King Kong Zhi responded one by one to those Tang people who said goodbye to him, making his image more amiable and approachable in the hearts of the people, and he was worthy of being a divine monk in Brahma.
At this time, the red sunshine shines in front of the mountain gate of Ci'en Temple, and the blue brick mountain gate is also reflected brightly. Master Vajra Zhi standing in front of the mountain gate is like a Buddha made of gold and bronze.
The master of Vajra Wisdom watched quietly as the crowd dispersed. His eyes that had been lowered suddenly raised at a certain moment, and then he took steps forward and walked into the crowd again, heading in a certain direction. .
People who were about to disperse from here suddenly became curious when they saw Master Vajra Zhi suddenly making a move, so they all stopped, stretched their necks, and looked at Master Vajra Zhi's movements with curious eyes. Wherever Vajra Wisdom passed, the people fled.
A road where the crowd separated independently connected the Brahma monk to Su Wu and the others there.
When people saw Su Wu and the others leading the horses, and then looked at Master Vajra Zhi's eyes, they knew that Master Vajra Zhi's target was none other than Su Wu and the others.
They became more and more curious.
The crowd that had dispersed suddenly began to gather again.
As the crowd gathered more and more, the thin discussion began to sound noisy and noisy.
When Vajra Zhi reached a position about ten steps away from Su Wu, he stopped. His hands hung down by his sides, and he raised his eyes to look at Su Wu, who was more than ten steps away. His body tensed up and he suddenly Like facing a formidable enemy!
A long river of meaning rushed out from between his brows, drowning the crowds around him. He wanted to throw the crowds around him away from this matter and prevent them from seeing the true situation at the moment.
But Su Wu stood there, quietly watching Jingang Zhi's concealing actions, but he didn't move at all!
He had just shown some hint of his nature, but there was no need for him to look for Vajra Wisdom, Vajra Wisdom came to find him on its own!
King Kong Zhi used his own will to isolate the perception of the surrounding Tang people, preventing them from seeing his conversation with the 'unpredictable person' opposite him - preventing the image of the Brahma monk he had just established from being poked by the person opposite him. break.
The man opposite him watched his movements quietly without any reaction at all.
This was a relief to him.
The other party did not explain, but at least it showed that he was not hostile to him yet.
Vajra Zhi raised his hands at his side and clasped them together in front of his chest, bowed to Su Wu and saluted: "Your Excellency has a deep connection with Buddha and has shown signs of realizing emptiness. I am ashamed of myself.
I wonder why the ‘venerable’ came to Ci’en Temple? "
Those who are excellent in virtue and wisdom and can serve as teachers for others are called ‘venerable’.
A ‘sage’ on the path of spiritual practice is also called a ‘venerable one’.
Now Vajra Wisdom directly calls Su Wu "Venerable", which already shows that he feels inferior to Su Wu and is willing to respect Su Wu as his respect!
Behind Su Wu, Zhang Fang, who had just watched with great interest the Vajra Zhi Monk performing the 'Bottle Filling Technique', and even wanted to join in, saw the Vajra Zhi Monk being so respectful to the husband in front of him in the blink of an eye. His eyes widened, he took a deep breath, and was speechless for a moment!
The capable people and strangers in the world who want to meet the saints all need to first "raise their hopes" among the people. Only after they have gained a great reputation in the world can they be summoned by the saints.
Now, Lang Jun no longer needs to look after him.
He only stopped in front of the mountain gate of Ci'en Temple. Even Brahma monks like Master Vajra Zhi volunteered to step in to increase his reputation!
"I came to Ci'en Temple just to meet the holy monks from the Brahma Land." Su Wu replied with a smile.
This 'Vajra Tripitaka' was also a wonderful person with a clear mind. He would not yell at Su Wu to kill him. His attitude was so respectful, and Su Wu had no reason to find fault with others, so he was easy to talk to. Vajra Zhi responded.
However, when Vajrabodhi met Su Wu, it was like a stone suddenly seeing a mountain, or a small snake bumping into a rumbling locomotive. Su Wu's words and deeds had different meanings in his eyes. When he heard that Su Wu came for him, he became more and more panicked. With his turbulent mood, the long river of thoughts covering the crowd around him almost couldn't be maintained!
Vajrabodhi's Adam's apple rolled, and he said in a trembling voice: "I am panicked. I don't know if I have ever offended the Venerable?"
"No." Su Wu's answer calmed Vajrabodhi's mood a little.
At this time, the tall young man turned aside and brought out the "Bakhta people" with obvious facial features behind him. When Vajrabodhi saw Abeli and others, his pupils shrank and his body trembled.
With the Tubo army destroying the Bakhta royal court, using the old king's skull as a ritual instrument was just an ordinary thing in Vajrabodhi's previous experience.
However, he cultivated to the Tathagatagarbha realm, and his past experiences could be vividly recalled.
Now, when he suddenly saw these people from Bakhanā, his past experiences instantly came to his mind!
He had never offended this venerable...
But the court of the Kingdom of Bakhanā, which he destroyed with the Tubo army, was protected by this venerable?
Vajrabodhi was confused!
"These people from Bakhanā were originally the followers of the old king of Bakhanā, and they were very loyal to their old master. I met these people from Bakhanā who came from the great Tang Dynasty on the way, and learned that they came to find the skull of their old king.
I also heard that the skull of the old king is in your hands, so I came to ask you about the whereabouts of the skull." Su Wu said.
