Chapter 42 Volume 12

one Women's hospital monk【1】 Jianli Monin lived in seclusion at the foot of Higashiyama, near Yoshida on the east bank of the Kamogawa River; he lived in a monk's house in Nayan Fayin Qinghui, a senior monk in Nara.The house has been in disrepair for a long time, the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and day lilies are luxuriant under the eaves; the curtains are broken, and the boudoir is exposed, making it difficult to shelter from the wind and rain.Although the flowers are blooming and competing for beauty, it is a pity that there is no owner of the flowers; the moon shines every night, but there is no one to admire the moon.In the past, Yan lived amidst carved railings, jade bricks and silk embroidery, and lived a life of rich clothes and fine food. Now he leaves all his relatives and lives in a shabby room. One can imagine the sadness in his heart.This is like a bird that has lost its nest, or a fish that has left the deep. Reminiscing about the life of drifting on the sea and living in a boat in the past, it makes people miss it.I want to think of the blue sky in the past and the long road, and think about the thousands of miles of clouds in the West Sea; look at the moss on the thatched hut, and the tears falling on the moon in the courtyard of the Eastern Mountain; it is miserable, how sad!

The women's courtyard was born on May 1st, the first year of Wenzhi (1185).It is said that the master who gave the precepts was sworn by the master of Azheng Fang in Changle Temple.The women's court gave him the robes of the late emperor[2] as a gift.Originally, this was a relic of the late emperor, but Xiangze still exists today, so you can visit it at any time as a souvenir.I brought it from the Western Kingdom to Kyoto, and originally wanted to keep it by my side forever, but because I had nothing to donate, and also prayed for the late emperor's blessings, I suppressed my tears and gave it to the Venerable Master.The Venerable Master accepted it, without saying a word, his cassock sleeves were wet with tears, and weeping, he withdrew.It is said that later the Venerable Master sewed the robe into a curtain and hung it in front of the Buddha in Changle Temple.

At the age of 15, the women's court was granted the imperial concubine, and at the age of 16, she was promoted to the position of empress concubine. She often served the king's side, assisting the government in the morning, and serving wine and banquets at night.At the age of twenty-two, the prince was born and established as the prince; after Jianzuo, he was granted the title of the courtyard and named it Jianlimen courtyard.She is the daughter of Taoism and Xiangguo, and the queen mother of the emperor, who is revered by the world, not just one end.Twenty-nine years old this year, she is still as beautiful as peaches and plums, and she is as beautiful as a lotus.Her black hair, which was as shiny as black jade, had been cut off completely.Wouldn't it be sad to abandon the world and escape into Buddhism! The scene of a family member who was defeated in battle committed suicide and threw himself into the bottom of the sea, as well as the voice and appearance of the first emperor and second-rank wife [3] are unforgettable forever.Although my dew-like life has lasted until now, whenever I think of the misery of what happened, I can't help crying.Although the nights in May are short, it is still difficult to understand the delay; the night is so dark that it is difficult to sleep, and it is still impossible to dream about the past.It's really a solitary lamp afterimage, back wall cold, dark rain knocking on the window and worrying all night [4].The palace servants in Shangyang Palace, the situation of their mourning is nothing more than this.The original owner of the monk's house transplanted the citrus here to express his nostalgia for the past. With the breeze under the eaves, the familiar fragrance of flowers came, and at the same time, there were two or three chirping birds in the mountain.The women's courtyard thought of an ancient song, so they wrote on the inkstone cover:

Crying for the pity of the orange-scented cuckoo, I weep for my old friend【5】. The female relatives all seemed quite heroic, the second-rank wife and the three wives of Echizen heroically threw themselves into the sea.The people who were captured by the samurai and sent back to their hometowns, no matter how old or young they were, were all monks, emaciated, living and dying, living day and night at the bottom of unimaginable mountains, rocks and valleys.The old houses have been turned into smoke and dust, and the ruins have become overgrown with weeds. Naturally, no one cares about them.Today's mood is like Liu Ruan returning from the fairyland to the world and meeting the great-great-grandson of the seventh generation【6】, I am so sad!

A major earthquake occurred on July 9, and the houses collapsed everywhere, and the hermitage in the women's courtyard also collapsed, making it uninhabitable.Naturally, there is no green feather forest that strictly guards the palace gate, only the seasonal autumn insects chirp from the rough fence and dense fields, which makes people feel even more sad.The sleepless nights are getting longer and longer, and it is even more difficult to last until dawn.Endless sorrow, when this sad autumn is more and more unbearable.The world is hot and cold, and even those old friends are far away, and no one is willing to patronize.

--------------------------- [1] The empowerment volume is devoted to the life of Hiratoko, the mother of Emperor Andoku, who became a monk and lived in seclusion after the catastrophe.As for the origin of this volume, some people say that it was collected from the second half of the volumes.Some people say that this volume existed on the day the book was completed, so that the end can echo the opening volume of "Gion Jingshe". 【2】Xiandi refers to Emperor Antoku. [3] Mrs. Erpin is the mother of Jianli Menyuan, see Note 3, Section 10, Volume 1. [4] Bai Juyi's poem "Shangyang White-haired Man" has a saying: "Gen Geng's dying lamp shines on the back, and the sound of Xiao Xiao's dark rain hitting the window."

[5] For the original song, see "New Ancient and Modern Collection". 【6】According to "Continued Qi Xie Ji", Liu Chen and Ruan Zhao went to Tiantai Mountain to collect medicine, lost their way, met a fairy, and returned home after half a year. -------------------------- two Live in Ohara However, the wife of Takabo Fujiwara, the master of cold springs, and the wife of Nobutaka Fujiwara, a repair doctor in Shichijo [1], avoided the eyes and ears of the world and came quietly to condolences. "Relying on them to take care of it is something I never thought of before." The women's court said with tears.The people who served beside him also wet their sleeves with tears.

Living here is not far from the capital, and there are many passers-by. Before the morning dew-like life is blown away by the wind, I always hope to find a place where I don’t know the world. I would rather live in the mountains, but unfortunately there is no chance.A female official once said: "There is a place called Jiguangyuan in Dayuan Mountain. It is very quiet."The shoulders and the like are all prepared by Long Fangqing's wife.Wenzhi moved to Jiguangyuan at the end of September in the first year of Wenzhi, and watched the colorful autumn leaves along the way. When he arrived at the col, it was already sunset.The sound of the evening bell in the wild temple was like weeping, and the dewdrops on the green grass along the way were dense and thick, and the sleeves of the women's courtyard were even more soaked.The wind in Ershan Mountain is strong, the leaves are flying around, the sky is full of haze, and the autumn evening is cold and rainy.Yo Yo, deer cries, vividly in my ears; autumn insects chirp like silk;When I was tossing around the harbor and islands before, my mood was not like this, and every time I think about it, I feel more sad; now I want to settle down in this lonely place full of rocks and moss, and the beard branches exposed in the courtyard have disappeared. Defeated by Autumn Shuang, Aoshuang's chrysanthemums under the eastern fence have also withered.Before bowing down to the Buddha, praying that "the holy spirit of the Son of Heaven will soon become enlightened, and all the souls of the family will attain Buddhahood", the face of the former emperor is more and more inseparable from his eyes, and he will never forget it for several lifetimes.Therefore, a nunnery as large as the abbot was formed near the Jiguangyuan, one for his own sleeping place and one for the Buddha.Worship diligently day and night, recite the Buddha's name regardless of morning and evening, and never slack off during the day and the moon.

On the evening of October 15th, I suddenly heard the sound of the leaves scattered in the courtyard being crushed.The women's courtyard thought: "Who will come to visit this secluded place? Let me take a look. If you have to avoid people, you should hide quickly." So she looked into the courtyard, and it turned out that a stag had left. past.The women's courtyard asked: "What's going on?" Da Nayan Dianshi [2] wiped away his tears and said: Living in seclusion in the hanging rock, who would care about pity; Suddenly I heard the sound of dead leaves, and the deer pierced through the bamboo wall.

The women's courtyard felt very sad, so they wrote this song on the window paper at that time. In such a boring life, I often use the things around me to compare the Buddha's traces to express my sorrow.The trees juxtaposed in front of the eaves are compared to the seven-fold treasure tree [3]; the rainwater silted between the rocks is compared to the water of eight merits [4]; the spring flowers are scattered with the wind, which is compared to the impermanence of the world; Floating life is limited.This is exactly how flowers are admired in the morning in Zhaoyang Palace, and the fragrance of flowers is blown by the wind; moon appreciation is enjoyed in Changqiu Palace [5] at night, and the shadow of the moon is covered by dark clouds.In the past, in the golden hall of Qionglou, how glorious it was to sit on the brocade mattress; now in the thatched cottage of Chai'an, passers-by feel sad when they see it.

--------------------------- [1] Both of these two ladies are daughters of Ping Qingsheng, younger sisters of Jianli Menyuan. [2] Da Na Yan Dian Shi, see Note 2, Section 2, Volume 10 and Note 2, Section 19, Volume 11. [3] The seven-fold treasure tree, according to Buddhist legends, there are seven rows of trees planted in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. 【4】Eight meritorious water, according to Buddhists, there is a kind of water in the Paradise that has eight advantages: clear and cool, cool, sweet, light and soft, moist, peaceful, thirst-quenching, and health-preserving. [5] Zhaoyang Palace and Changqiu Palace, according to the Han system, the former is the residence of the Empress Dowager, and the latter is the residence of the Empress.This is a metaphor for the harem where the Jianlimen Academy lives. -------------------------- three Linxing Ohara However, in the spring of the second year of Wenzhi (1186), Emperor Hou Baihe learned that Jianlimenyuan lived in seclusion in Ohara Jiguangyuan, and wanted to visit it; because the spring breeze was piercing in February and March, the remaining cold was cold, the snow on the top of the mountain was still there, and the valleys were full of snow. The ice was still there, until the end of spring and summer, and after the Kamo Shrine's big festival, the Emperor got up in the early morning of a certain day and went to the Ohara Mountain Col.Although it was a quiet tour, he also brought six officials, including Tokudaiji Fujiwara Misada, Hanayamain Fujiwara Kenmasa, and Tsuchimikado Gentokin, eight members of the hall, and several guards.When passing through Anma Street, I inspected the Potuoluo Temple of Qing Yuan’s deep adoptive father and the former site of the Empress Dowager’s Palace in Ono.The distant mountains and white clouds float like flowers and flowers to commemorate; the green leaves on the treetops are more intentional to cherish the spring.It was on April 20th at this time, and I walked into the temple through the lush summer grass. Because it was my first visit, the scenery I saw was fresh, and it was an inaccessible place, so I was very interested. There is a Buddhist hall at the foot of the West Mountain, which is Jiguangyuan.The spring water and forest trees are ancient and fragrant, and they really have a lot of history.It is exactly the so-called "where the roof tiles are broken, there is fog and fog, and cigarettes continue;Duckweed floats on the pond, which is suspected to be green brocade; on the small island, vines climb pine branches, and the flowers bloom colorfully; the late-blooming cherry blossoms and green leaves complement each other, which is more beautiful than the first-blooming flowers.The tangerines are in full bloom on the shore, and the cuckoos are singing from high above the clouds, all of which seem to be welcoming the arrival of the king.Seeing such a beautiful scene, the Emperor could not help singing a song: The cherry blossoms on the shore have fallen, and the flowers on the pond are in full bloom. The sound of water pouring down from the cracks in the remnant rocks also seemed extraordinary.The hedges surrounded by green vines and the smoky mountain scenery of green daisy are all indescribable by pen and ink. When the emperor saw the nunnery of the women's courtyard, he saw morning glories crawling under the eaves, day lilies and forget-me-nots intertwined, as if "Yan Yuan lived in a back alley, and the rice baskets were always empty; Yuan Xian lived in a peng household, and the goatsweed were everywhere." [1] Shan Shan The leather-covered roofs are sparse, and the cold rain, frost, and dew compete with the moonlight, making it impossible to distinguish.This scene is obviously a rain or shine, and it is difficult to live.There are mountains behind, and fields in front; sparse young bamboos, leaves singing in the wind.This is probably the case for people who want to live in seclusion.There are as many sad and annoying things as the bamboo knots on the pillars of the nunnery; the news from Kyoto is as rare as the fence in front of the nunnery.Occasionally, there are only the cries of apes walking along the trees and the sound of the woodcutter's axes cutting; who would climb to it except for the wisterias and green vines everywhere? The Pope asked, "Is anyone there? Is anyone there?" No one answered, but an old nun walking in the distance.Yin asked again, "Where did the women's courtyard go?" This is the situation when the rewards of goodness are exhausted. In order to practice the Dharma, one cannot spare the body and skin. It is said in the "Cause and Effect Sutra": "If you want to know the cause of the past, see its present effect; if you want to know the future result, see its present Because.' If you realize the cause and effect of the past and the future, you won’t be lamenting like this. Prince Siddharth left the city of Gaya at the age of nineteen and came to the foothills of Dante Mountain. Because of the accumulated merits of suffering and practice, I finally realized the way to become a Buddha." The emperor saw the nun's expression, wearing clothes that could not tell whether it was silk or hemp, and she was very surprised to speak such a thoroughly enlightened truth. , So asked: "Who are you?" She shed tears when she heard this, was speechless for a while, wiped away the tears, and replied: "It's a bit abrupt to tell you. Daughter, waiter Awa Nei, mother is Mrs. Ji Yi Erpin [3]. I was very favored in the past, but now you don’t recognize me, I think I’m old and rotten.” He covered his face with his sleeves, and couldn’t bear to die see.The Emperor couldn't help crying and said: "So you are the attendant of Abone? I didn't recognize it just now. I thought it was a dream!" The attendant's ministers and the people in the palace also said: "This nun, no wonder it makes people feel strange, as expected. Some history." The emperor looked around the courtyard, but saw that the grass in the courtyard was heavy with dew, the fences were decaying, and outside the fences, the fields were overflowing with water, and the borders were hard to distinguish.Walk into the nunnery, open the paper door, and see three statues [4] in a room. Amitabha Buddha in the middle is hung with five-color silk threads; on the left is the portrait of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and on the right are monk Shandao and the late emperor. Next to it are the eight volumes of the Lotus Sutra, and the nine volumes written by the monk Shandao [5].The fragrance of orchid musk is flying, and the fragrance of offerings to the Buddha is wafting. It is as if Lay Vimo set up 32,000 seats in a one-zhang-square nunnery to welcome the Buddhas from the ten directions.Summaries of scriptures written in colored paper are pasted on the indoor partition, and one of them contains two lines of poems chanted by Venerable Dajiang Zhenji [6] on Qingliang Mountain in China [7]: Come to greet the sunset." Not far from here, there is a short song sung by the women's courtyard: Living in seclusion in the mountains, the moon in the palace is dim; The moon is not closed, what is to vent the cold. The Emperor looked at the next room, probably the dormitory of the women's courtyard. Linen black clothes were hung on the bamboo poles, and the bed was covered with poor bedding. The silk and satin that had been used all over the dynasty and the Han Dynasty in the past, all of this is now Everything has become a dream.Seeing such a scene, the attendants of the ministers and the high priest all wept their sleeves with tears. After a while, two black-clothed nuns came out from the mountain above, and came along the mountain path. Seeing the difficult steps, the Pope asked, "Who is that?" The old nun wiped his tears and replied, "The elbow The one holding the flower basket in the middle is the women's courtyard. The one holding the firewood is the daughter of Nayan Weishi in the torikai, the adopted daughter of Wujo Da Nayan Banggangqing, and the late emperor's wet nurse Da Nayan Dianshi." The Pope also felt very sad and wept endlessly.The women's courtyard said: "I am a reclusive monk here. I feel ashamed to let you see it. I hope that this will be the end of my life." Such a mind is helpless.At night, she offered water to the Buddha, and her clothes were completely wet; she went up the mountain to pick flowers in the morning, and her sleeves were soaked in dew;At this moment, the maid nun stepped forward to take Hua Lan over. --------------------------- 【1】Yan Yuan and Yuan Xian are both disciples of Confucius.The former sentence comes from, and the latter sentence comes from. 【2】Entering Dao Xinxi is Fujiwara Tongxian, an important minister of Empress Shirakawa, who died in the Heiji Rebellion. [3] Mrs. Ji Yi Erpin is Tongxian's wife. 【4】Buddhist legends say that when a person goes to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss after death, Amitabha Tathagata, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Shizhi Bodhisattva come to pick him up. [5] Shandao monk, see Note 5, Section 5, Volume 10. [6] Dajiang Zhenji became a monk after the death of her beloved daughter. She once studied in Suzhou, and Song Zhenzong bestowed the title of Master Guotong. [7] Qingliang Mountain is Wutai Mountain. -------------------------- Four Six Paths【1】 "This is the normal situation of hermits. It's not painful. Hurry up and let the Emperor go back soon." After the female courtyard finished speaking, it went into the nunnery. "Chanting Buddha once and leaning against the window, waiting for the morning light; praying to Buddha ten times and opening the firewood doors; hoping that the saints will come to welcome you【2】. Your presence here is really unexpected." The women's courtyard cried and paid homage to the Emperor. The Emperor looked at her and said, "Feixiangtian [3] can maintain a long life of eighty thousand kalpas, but still cannot escape the sorrow of perishing; the Desire Realm [4] inevitably still has the sorrow of five declines [5]. The wonderful joy in the city [6], the high pavilion of Zen in the middle [7], and the karma in the dream, the pleasure in the phantom, are like wheels rolling, endless. The sorrow of the five declines of heaven and man is inevitable in this world. .” Speaking of this, he asked again: “Is anyone coming to visit you? Is it a feeling of emotion, always reminiscing about the past?” I didn't expect to be taken care of by them." She said and shed tears.The accompanying woman also shed tears on her sleeves.The women's courtyard held back tears and said: "I am in such a situation. It is inevitable to be sad for a while, but I am very happy when I think of the blessings behind me. In an instant, I can become a disciple of Sakyamuni, and under the guidance of Amitabha Tathagata, I can get rid of the five obstacles." Three obediences to the suffering of [8], clean the dirt of the three seasons and six roots [9], and wholeheartedly yearn for the ninth-grade pure land, and sincerely pray for a family of blessings. I always look forward to the three deities to welcome me. What I will never forget is the voice and face of the late emperor. I will never forget it even if I want to There is nothing more sad than the love of a mother and child. Therefore, in order to pray for them, I will practice diligently day and night, and this may be the chance for me to be saved." The Pope listened Said: "My dynasty is a place where millet is scattered on the border. I regard the ten good yin as the emperor, and as the lord of the ten thousand vehicles, I am satisfied with everything, especially when I was born when the Dharma was spreading. I am determined to practice Buddhism. There is no doubt about entering the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. The impermanence of the human world is natural, and it is not surprising at all. Seeing you in such a state, I feel really pitiful." The women's court said, "I am the daughter of the Pingxiang Kingdom, the mother of the Son of Heaven, and I am everywhere in the world. Under control, every year since the ceremony to congratulate Xinzheng, changing clothes in winter and summer for many times, until the year-end ceremony of reciting the name of Buddha [10], the regent Guan Bai and all the ministers and ministers are all humble and respectful, just like in the Six Desires and Four Zens. Above the clouds and sky, there are more than 84,000 Buddhist saints surrounded by offerings, and all civil and military officials worship each other respectfully. In the Qingliang Hall and Zichen Hall, standing among the jade curtains, watching the cherry blossoms in Zichen Hall in spring is refreshing. Nine summers and three volts In the summer of summer, draw clear springs to comfort the body and mind. In autumn, invite all officials to hold a banquet to appreciate the moon. Xuandong [11] In the cold night of Suxue, he wears heavy clothes to keep warm, researches the art of immortality, and seeks the medicine of Penglai’s immortality. Looking forward to living in this world for a long time. Day and night, blindly seeking happiness, I only feel that God’s blessing is the limit. So since the autumn of Shou Yong, I am afraid of Kiso Yoshinaka, abandoning Beijing and running away, and I can only look at the sky from the sky The capital city I have lived in for a long time, looking back at my hometown that was burnt to ashes. From Sumo, which I only heard about in the past, passing every ferry in Akashi. The seabirds cry together and wait for the dawn. Although I have seen countless famous ferries and small islands, I always have an unforgettable memory of my hometown. So wandering, with nowhere to rest, this is the so-called sadness of the five decays of heaven and man Yeah. I have experienced the pain of parting from love and the pain of resentment and suffering in the world. Four sufferings and eight sufferings [12], all in one. Later, I was expelled from Kyushu by Ogata Masayoshi at the Dazaifu of the Chikuzen Kingdom. Shelter. It was the end of autumn at that time, and the bright moon that I used to watch in the palace, now I had to face it on the long waves. Under such hardships and hardships, in October, Lieutenant General Ping Qingjing sighed: "Kyoto has fallen into the hands of Genji, and Kyushu has been expelled by Weiyi. We are like caught fish, with nowhere to rest. It seems that the general trend is over." So he sank to the bottom of the sea. This is the beginning of a painful defeat. At sea When the sun goes down and stays in the boat until dawn, the tribute from all countries does not arrive, and there is no one for the three meals. Occasionally, the meal is brought, and it cannot be swallowed due to lack of water; although it is floating on the water, the sea water isUnable to drink; this pain is like being trapped in the realm of hungry ghosts.After that, Muroyama and Mizushima won many battles, and people felt a little bit alive.When it came to the battle in the Valley of Oneness, most of the whole clan was killed or injured. Everyone wore war robes and iron armor, and fought day and night, shouting and fighting.After the fall of Ichinoya, father and son were separated, and husband and wife said goodbye. They regarded the fishing boats on the bay as enemy ships and lost their souls;After that, in the final decisive battle between Mosi and Chijianguan, the second-rank lady ordered: "I am afraid that there will not be one man in the tens of millions who survived. Will not pray for our blessings.Since ancient times, women have not been killed in war, and they must be preserved no matter what, to pray for the good fortune of the first emperor, and also for our future generations. 'After hearing these words, I was in a trance as if in a dream. Suddenly, there was a strong wind, dark clouds, the morale of the army was scattered, and the morale was sluggish. It seemed that the general situation was over.Such is the destiny, and it cannot be undone by manpower.At this point, Mrs. Erpin came to the side of the boat with the emperor in her arms, and the emperor asked in surprise: "Grandmother, where are you taking me?" Mrs. Erpin faced the emperor, wiped her tears and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know something. Your previous life The merits of the Ten Virtuous Precepts have enabled him to be honored by the ten thousand vehicles in this life, but due to the force of evil conditions, his life is exhausted.You first face the east and bid farewell to the Ise Grand Shrine, then face the west, pray to the gods and Buddhas to welcome you to the Western Pure Land, and at the same time recite the name of the Buddha in your heart.This country is disgusting, let me take you to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. 'The second-rank lady said while crying, and then changed the emperor into a blue and slightly yellow royal robe, and combed the child's hairstyle with two temples in a bun.With tears in his eyes, the young master folded his slender and lovely hands, bowed to the east, and bid farewell to the Ise Grand Shrine; then faced the west, chanting Buddha's name endlessly.At that time, the scene where Mrs. Erpin jumped into the bottom of the sea with the emperor in her arms made me dizzy and heartbroken, and I can't forget it to this day.Seeing this scene, the surviving people all hissed and howled, thinking that calling hell [13] is nothing more than that.Afterwards, I was detained by the samurai, and when I was sent to Beijing, I came to Mingshipu in the Harima Kingdom. In a trance, I saw the late emperor, all the ministers, and the palace officials sitting in a palace that was even more magnificent than the imperial palace.Just because after leaving Kyoto, I have never seen such a magnificent place.I asked: "Where is this?" Mrs. Erpin replied: "Dragon Palace City. ’ I asked: ‘It’s such a good place, isn’t there any hardship here?’ She said: ‘It’s clearly stated in the Dragon Animal Sutra, please pray for blessings. 'After hearing this, he woke up from his dream.Since then, I have devoted myself to chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha, praying for their blessings.All of this, I feel as if I have experienced the six worlds. After hearing this, the Emperor said, "Xuanzang Sanzang in a foreign country had seen the Six Paths before he fully realized it. Our country's Rizo Master also saw the Six Paths with the power of the Tibetan King Quanxian [14]. You can also see the Six Paths as a mortal. It's really commendable!" When he said that, he couldn't help crying. The attendant ministers and the court officials also wet their clothes with tears. The women's courtyard also shed tears, and the accompanying female officials all had tears on their sleeves. --------------------------- 【1】Six Ways, see Note 6, Section 13, Volume Three. 【2】Sages coming to welcome means that after death, when going to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, there will be all Buddhas coming to welcome them. 【3】Feixiangtian, the highest heaven in the so-called Three Realms of Buddhism.

Although it was hard to part, I had no choice but to hold back my tears and drive back to the palace.At this time, the women's court recalled the past even more, the tears flowed like a spring, and the sleeves could not be wiped away.Watching the emperor go away, he returned to the nunnery and prayed to the deity: "The holy spirit of the first emperor, a dead soul, attained enlightenment, and suddenly realized Bodhi." Weeping while praying.In the past, I prayed facing the east: "Ise Grand Shrine, Zhenghachiman Bodhisattva, the emperor Baozuo, long live forever." Now I face the west with my palms together and pray: "The deceased holy spirit returns to the pure land of the Buddha world." It is indeed sad.Feeling this situation, the women's courtyard wrote two songs on the window paper in the dormitory: I've been feeling very sad recently, The old friends in the palace feel more intimate. Bitter days pass like dreams, It is also difficult to grow a hut in a chai nunnery. Shi Dinggong, the left minister of Tokudaiji Temple, who followed the emperor, wrote a song on the pillar of the nunnery: In the past, the palace was forbidden like a bright moon, Now living in the dark mountains. After thinking about it, the women's courtyard burst into tears. At this time, they suddenly heard the cuckoo crying, so they sang: There should be tears in the cuckoo's voice, Floating life ups and downs and tears quit. It is said that the people who were captured in the Battle of Tanpu were either beheaded or thrown away from their wives and exiled far away after they made a public display on the main road of Kyoto.Except for Chi Da Nayan, no one was spared.But more than forty female family members were not punished.Either seek refuge with relatives, or seek refuge with their own family, the best of them live in the beautiful jade hall, and there is no peaceful home; the worst live in chaifei huts, and there is no safe place to shelter.The couple who used to sleep side by side are now separated by clouds and sky; the father and son who usually raise affectionate love have to reluctantly separate.Therefore, the yearning for each other is endless, and we have to pass the days and nights in lament and grief.This is all due to the fact that the Taoist Prime Minister controls the world, does not fear the emperor at the top, and has no compassion for the people at the bottom; the death penalty is executed at will; the world and people are reckless.As the saying goes: Fathers and grandparents who committed crimes will repay their children and grandchildren.There is no doubt about it. The women's hospital spends so much time and money, gradually getting sick.She took the five-color thread hanging from the Tathagata Buddha's hand and said, "Namo Amitabha Tathagata, the leader of the Western Paradise, must guide me!" Situation, I can't help but feel sad, and weep bitterly.The Empress Dowager's voice of reciting Buddha gradually weakened, but she saw the purple clouds in the west drifting, the wonderful fragrance filled the nunnery, and fairy music came from the air.Life is limited, and the women's courtyard finally passed away in mid-February of the second year of Jianjiu (1191).The two female officials have been accompanying them since they were in the middle palace of the women's courtyard, and they have not left for a moment. When they are dying, their grief-stricken feelings cannot be comforted.The two of them had neither relatives nor support, so they worked so hard to pay homage to the women's courtyard and hold Buddhist ceremonies.After the funeral, they followed the precedent of the dragon girl's epiphany [1], followed Mrs. Waitish's deeds [2], and realized their long-cherished wish of returning to the Pure Land forever. -------------------------- 【1】According to the Lotus Sutra, the Dragon Girl is the daughter of the Dragon King Shajira, who became fully enlightened at the age of eight and returned to the Pure Land. 【2】According to the "Contemplation of Infinite Life Sutra", Mrs. Vaidehi is the wife of King Bimbasara of India. After listening to Sakyamuni's preaching, she became disgusted with the world and went to the Pure Land. -------------------------- Release Notes This electronic version is scanned from the Japanese Monogatari literature series published by Yunnan People's Publishing House, and the translator is Wang Yuhua.Previously, it was published by Beijing Yanshan Publishing House, and the translator was Shen Fei. According to the preface of this edition, in 1984, People’s Literature Publishing House published a book signed by Zhou Qiming (that is, Zhou Zuoren) and Shen Fei. Zhou Zuoren translated the former Six volumes, Shen Fei made textual changes to match the style of the second half of the translation, but I have not seen the version of the People's Literature Publishing House, and the preface of the version of Yanshan Publishing House says that this version is already a common Volume out of Shen non-retranslation.Since the version of Yanshan Publishing House is full of typos (I don’t know if it is a pirated book, Xinhua Bookstore will not sell pirated books, right?), I decided to use the version of Yunnan People’s Publishing House to scan. This version is similar to Shen Fei’s translation. There is not much difference, but I finally found that this version has no fewer typos than Yanshan Publishing House. It is really regrettable that the Chinese publishing industry pays so little attention to the quality of books.Due to the fact that there are many mistakes in the original version, and there are many ancient Japanese names, place names, official names, Buddhist terms and special words in the book, my level is limited. If some words are wrong in the book, it is still uncertain after comparing the two versions. There is nothing you can do about it, so if someone finds an error, please send a letter to let me know so that it can be corrected.In addition, Shen Fei’s translation has been used in some places in this electronic version. The meaning of the two is exactly the same. In some places, in order to better express the meaning of the entire sentence, I have added, deleted or changed a few words without authorization.When this electronic version was produced to the ninth volume, I received Zhou Zuoren’s translation (only the first six volumes) published by China International Translation and Publishing Company. After reading it, I felt that Zhou Zuoren’s style of writing was different from the current Chinese. , is the style of the early part of the last century. Now readers may not be used to it, and some places may still feel that it is not smooth, and there are only six volumes, so I have to use it as a reference. I am here to inform you. -------------------------- Chronology of Events The first year of Baoyuan (1156) Ping Qingsheng served as Ayi Shou, and Ping Baoyuan made great contributions to the chaos, and he was transferred to Harima Shou.
