The sunshine that has been wandering for too long hastily returned, revived the lovesickness of the ancient temple. The ancient temple is like the silhouette of a bat, always in a state of flight. The ancient temple is called Jinshan Temple, and the big river at the foot of Jinshan Temple has been flowing unchanged for thousands of years. Xuanzang stood outside the temple, holding a blood book in both hands, like holding a ball of fire.The sun shone on him with special kindness, and paled his face. Xuanzang squatted down, looked at the bat-like temple, and wailed loudly. His cry was so penetrating that the tile roof of Jinshan Temple was shaken.

The wine and meat monk poked his head out from the temple, spit at Xuanzang, and cursed at the same time: "Howling!" Xuanzang continued to cry, he cried very seriously and emotionally, it was the first time in eighteen years that he cried. For the first time, I understood my own life experience.He has been a monk of Jinshan Temple since he was born, and Jinshan Temple belongs to him.He is the whole of Jinshan Temple. Dajiang drifted Xuanzang to Jinshan Temple, and Jinshan Temple had a Jiangliu monk. Xuanzang continued to cry. Suddenly, someone tapped him lightly on the shoulder.He said loudly: "If you want to cry, you can cry hard, it will be better if you cry!" The tone was very similar to a line in a movie, a standard model sentence.The voice was soft and a little old.

Xuanzang recognized that it was Elder Fa Ming's voice. Xuanzang stood up slowly, he stopped crying, he didn't want to cry hard, he looked at Faming. The four eyes are facing each other.Everyone's eyes are slowly flowing a silent river. Xuanzang leaned on Faming's shoulders: "Elder, my life is so miserable. I was an orphan when I was born!" Faming put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, it's not my life but my heart!" Faming's words flickered The brilliance of the Buddha. Xuanzang was bewildered: "Painful?" Faming said again: "Amitabha, the sea of ​​suffering is boundless, and the mind sails on the sea, which is suffering!" Xuanzang asked, "Elder, what should I do?"

Faming replied: "Suffering is happiness, and happiness is suffering. If there is no suffering and no happiness, there will be a positive result." Xuanzang shouted loudly: "I want revenge, I want revenge!" Faming put his palms together and said: "The enemy is a sin. There must be no sin, and there must be no sin!" After Faming finished speaking, he drifted away, leaving Xuanzang there alone. The sky is blood red, like a tragic poem.There was a voice from far away: "He has no hatred, he has a clear understanding in his heart, he has no hatred in his heart, he has a clear understanding in his heart; he has great compassion, and he has a clear understanding in his heart." The voice was as thin as a gossamer, but clear and clear.

Xuanzang looked up at the sky, and the voice seemed to rise into the distance. Xuanzang turned his head to look at the temple, the temple was empty, and the monks seemed to have traveled far away. Xuanzang clasped his hands together and muttered to himself: "What is compassion?" Another voice fell down: "Young man, compassion is wisdom and the power to recognize the pain of others. There is wisdom in each of us." Seed." Xuanzang felt a little dizzy, and the blood book in his hand jumped up, vaguely swaying a big river with waves and waves. A swaddling baby was floating in the big river, and the baby in the swaddling baby opened its eyes in confusion.

The sky was so blue that it was about to drip. The thick blue finally dripped down and slapped his face, and a wave lifted him up and into Jinshan Temple. A golden light flashed, illuminating his Yintang, and the door of his wisdom opened. It was that voice again: "Know cause and effect, talk about conscience, abide by morality, set ambition, cultivate knowledge and insight, and increase talent." The voice was full of energy, forced from the dantian, full of youthful strength. Xuanzang suddenly became enlightened. He saw that the pain in his heart was becoming a wonderful gift, and the spring of pain was slowly flowing out.

He felt refreshed and relaxed like never before.Hate and pain had gone away from him. He looked up at the sky, which was silent and solemn. He walked along a path, searching and searching. The path stretches forward with twists and turns, and the story has no source and flow. Broken stars spread out a brilliant galaxy, which shines on the path on the ground. Moonlight watched coldly from the side. Xuanzang continued to walk forward, he didn't know where he was going, but he knew that the path had no end. Xuanzang continued to walk forward, he didn't know where he was going, but he knew that the path had no end, and he knew that there was someone waiting for him on the road.

He knew that someone was waiting for him on the road. The small road sucks the essence of heaven and earth, and stretches forward like a dream. The overlapping mountains squeeze the path, squeezing the path into a white belt. Xuanzang's body was bent, like a shrimp standing upright.There was a wolf-like greedy light in his eyes. Suddenly, there was an open space ahead.The open land is very flat, and the ruggedness and cliffs are avoided, only the endless sound of the river. There is a squatting figure on the open ground, which is the figure of a woman. Xuanzang knew: she was waiting for someone.

He walked towards her, he was looking for someone. She stood up slowly and cast a look at him.She thought the person she was waiting for had come. As they approached, the two looked at each other with strange eyes. She shook her head, disappointed that he wasn't the one she was waiting for. He also shook his head, knowing very well that she was not the one she was looking for. She squatted down again and continued to wait. As long as that person didn't come, she would have to wait forever. He walked forward again and continued to search. As long as he didn't find that person, he would have to search forever.

The open land disappeared, the Milky Way disappeared, and there was a line of darkness on the path. A light flashed in Xuanzang's mind: Waiting and searching are the eternal themes of human beings. As long as people live, they will always search and wait. Xuanzang laughed loudly, the laughter cut through the darkness, and the laughter illuminated his future.The path is alive with incomparably brilliant light. Somewhere there is a person leading the way, leading him to the boundless border. A mass of red light rose, red like fire, red like maple leaves, red like clouds burning in the sky.

A beautiful woman slowly rises in the red light, holding a willow branch. Xuanzang glanced at her, and was immediately moved by the feeling of deja vu. The beauty flicked the willow branch in her hand, and said in a bright voice: "Junior Brother, you are here, I am the person you are looking for!" Xuanzang thought he had heard wrong, why would she call him Shidi? Calling so kindly, could it be that he and she had practiced under the same master? The beauty reported her family name: "I am Avalokitesvara, and I am of the same family as you. You should call me senior sister!" Xuanzang murmured: "My father was killed by thieves, and my mother was taken over by thieves. When I gave birth, I became a child." An orphan, he became a monk of Jinshan Temple when he was born. I only have brothers and sisters, and I have no senior sisters!" Avalokitesvara enlightened and said: "You were in the same sect as me in your previous life. Your name is Jin Chanzi, and you are also a disciple of the Tathagata." Xuanzang still Puzzled, he blurted out a poem: Who was I when I was not born who am i after birth I am the one who grows up who is blindfolded Avalokitesvara applauded and said, "Junior Brother, you are so enlightened. You have finally returned to the Buddha Hall. Amitabha!" Xuanzang shook his head, "I still don't understand. Since I practiced in the same sect as my senior sister, when did I lose it? One throw is eighteen." year!" Avalokitesvara folded his palms together and said: "Brother, you and I practice in the same sect, do you know the essentials of practice?" Xuanzang shook his head and said: "I don't know, I hope my senior sister can give me some pointers!" Before he knew it, he and Avalokitesvara had recognized the same sect . Avalokitesvara said: "This friend in the practice can't explain the secrets and mysteries of the unknown Tao!" Xuanzang asked: "What is the secret? What is the mystery?" Avalokitesvara slightly closed his eyes and said: "The method of chanting Buddha is to replace ten thousand thoughts with one thought. When chanting Buddha, when the rough thoughts arise, change them in time, and you should let go and transform them in time, such as turning greed with letting go, anger with forgiveness, and ignorance with wisdom; You should turn good thoughts to others, and turn pure thoughts to the other party and others when you have lustful thoughts; just ignore them when you start to think carefully, and focus on reciting Buddha with the Buddha's nature." Xuanzang said in a daze: "Sister, I still don't Understand thoroughly!" Guanyin opened his eyes and said: "This is the real transformation of meditation!" Xuanzang was still at a loss: "What is Dharma and what is nature, my sister still hasn't explained it clearly." In the words, Xuanzang Already somewhat displeased. Avalokitesvara said: "The law is related to the nature and the heart. The law is established according to the nature, and the law is designed for the heart. The law is the bridge that connects and connects the heart!" Xuanzang said stubbornly: "Sister, I still don't want to Understand, why is the Dharma designed for one's own mind?" Avalokitesvara sighed and said: "Amitabha, the method of chanting mantras, the method of chanting Buddha, the mantra is the mantra, which is the sound of self-confidence. The role of the heart." Xuanzang asked what else, but Guanyin brushed the willow branch and said softly: "Knowing gratitude and repaying kindness, life must repay four kinds of kindness." Xuanzang panicked and asked urgently: "Which four kinds of kindness ?" Avalokitesvara said solemnly: "The grace of the country, the grace of all living beings, the grace of parents, and the grace of the Three Treasures." Xuanzang sighed endlessly: "There are so many graces in life that need to be repaid?" Among the four graces, even if one day we die and burn our bones to ashes, we will not leave the four graces, because you still occupy a place to put the urn!" Xuanzang's heart moved: "In this way, my mortal heart Still alive?" Guanyin grinned: "Your brother is right, because of this, senior sister brought you two gifts!" Xuanzang panicked: "Senior sister, you will not give me a ring, right? ?" Consciously or unintentionally, he thought of the token of love between a man and a woman. Avalokitesvara closed his eyes and put his palms together and said: "Amitabha, junior brother, your mortal heart is still beating violently, so senior sister has to put a lock on your heart!" Xuanzang was shocked: "Senior sister, you locked my heart. Then how to think about the problem? One must have a thought!" Guanyin said consolingly: "Don't worry, junior brother, this lock only locks your ordinary thoughts, so that you can go straight forward on the pilgrimage road until you achieve the fruit of cultivation." Xuanzang His face was full of vicissitudes: "Sister, I have heard people say: pilgrims can never achieve the true fruit." Guanyin shook his head and said: "No, no, your true fruit is inherent and lingering. "Xuanzang's heart was moved again, and he stared at Avalokitesvara bewilderedly, not knowing what to say. There was a trace of warmth in Avalokitesvara's eyes, she read the emotion on Xuanzang's face, she shook the willow branch lightly, and a thing came out. Xuanzang looked at the object seriously: yellow, golden, and shining, it turned out to be a cassock! The thousands of golden threads on the cassock stood up like straight thorns. Xuanzang shouted in horror: "Don't, don't!" Avalokitesvara waved to him: "Hey, come on, put it on, this is a good thing!" Xuanzang took half a step back: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, there are thorns on it!" Be afraid, don't be afraid, these are not thorns, but Ruyi beads, Mani beads, Pichen beads, Dingfeng beads, red agate, purple coral, night pearls, relics, stealing the moon and whitening, competing with the sun for red..." Xuan Zang interrupted Avalokitesvara's words: "These things must not be artificially cultivated!" Avalokitesvara said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense, my brother. This is an authentic product from the west, not a fake product!" Xuanzang was speechless. . It was too late to say, but soon, Guanyin flicked the willow branches, and the cassock was put on Xuanzang's body. Xuanzang's body trembled a bit, and his whole body felt transparent. Avalokitesvara said: "Brother, you can look at yourself now. What do you see?" Xuanzang looked down at his stomach and exclaimed, "My heart is gone." Avalokitesvara nodded: "That's right, yours My heart has been locked!" Xuanzang couldn't help feeling sad: "Sister, what should I do if my heart is locked?" Guanyin patted Xuanzang on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, brother, your ordinary heart is locked, but the Buddha's heart still exists !" Xuanzang straightened his body, but felt a little shaken: "Senior sister, I am a little unstable!" Guanyin handed him a crutch: "Junior brother, with this nine-ringed tin staff, you can stand firm. !" Xuanzang took the nine-ringed staff, and really felt that he had strength, and couldn't help asking in surprise: "Senior sister, what is the use of this nine-ringed staff?" Avalokitesvara said: "This nine-ringed staff is made of a mixture of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. , Leaning on it, even if you travel all over the world, you will not be stained with the world of mortals." Xuanzang looked around, but there was nothing, and the world of mortals had disappeared. Avalokitesvara clasped her hands in front of her chest, and said softly, "Junior Brother, you have these two things, just go west, go to a place called Leiyin Temple, take one thing back, and you will find yourself. "Xuanzang asked in confusion: "How far is that road? When I get close, will I not reach the retirement age?" Guanyin encouraged and said: "Not far, not far, as long as the heart is sincere, gold and stone will open." Guanyin said When he raised his feet, he rose into the sky and waved to Xuanzang: "See you in the west!" Xuanzang bowed to the sky: "Bye, sister, take care all the way!" A gossamer-like voice came from Floating down from the sky: "Junior brother, don't be optimistic, there are ninety-nine or eighty-one difficulties waiting for you!" Xuanzang's pride multiplied immediately, and he shouted like an oath: "Make up your mind, don't be afraid of sacrifice, overcome all difficulties, and go for it!" Victory!" A meat ball rolled over, getting closer and closer, and stopped in front of Xuanzang. Xuanzang used a nine-ringed tin stick to remove the meat ball, and a monkey jumped out of the meat ball. Xuanzang put his hands together: "Amitabha, evil fate!" I go to a tryst alone, Who is following me in the darkness? I walk away from him, But I can't escape. He swaggered, make the ground dusty; In every word I speak, All mixed with his shouts. He is my ego, my Lord, he is shameless; But go with him to your window, I was ashamed. -- Tagore "Gitanjali 30" A voice in the sky told him clearly: "From now on, your name will be Tang Seng, Tang is your surname, and all monks are your names." Tang Seng kept his identity and mission firmly in mind, and took two entourages to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures. .
