Master Xuanzang was the most eminent monk in Buddhism more than 500 years ago. Before him, Chinese Buddhism was mostly based on Hinayana Buddhism, which means seeking self-realization and self-transcendence.
It was Master Xuanzang who traveled west to obtain the Mahayana Buddhism, which led to the creation of the Mahayana Buddhism that advocates universal salvation for the world.
Both Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism are the true teachings of Buddhism, and there is no distinction between them. However, it has to be admitted that Buddhism attracts believers mostly in the form of Mahayana Buddhism that can help people in the world. After all, it is easier to attract followers.
The people were convinced, and gradually, Mahayana Buddhism became popular. On the contrary, Hinayana Buddhism was compressed in its living space. Nowadays, it is not widely spread in the Central Plains. However, Western Xinjiang is more likely to accept the ideas of Hinayana Buddhism.
It is precisely because of the achievements of Master Xuanzang that he is considered to be the only master who can be compared with Patriarch Bodhidharma since Buddhism was introduced to China.
One can imagine the value of the parietal bone relics of such a great master after his death.
Faced with King Wen's straightforward statement, Monk Huiwen did not make meaningless excuses.
As King Wen, since he came in person and spoke, it means that King Wen has a confirmed source of information. If Monk Huiwen denies it again, then he does not take King Wen seriously. In the realm of Jinling, you
You may not take the imperial edict seriously, but no one dares to disrespect King Wen.
After only a very short silence, Monk Huiwen replied: "This is indeed the case."
"ha."
King Wen chuckled lightly, raised his hand to hold the glazed railing, looked out, and said: "In this world, no matter whether you are a monk or a secular person, it seems that you can't escape the word fame and fortune. Everyone in the world is seeking profit.
All the hustle and bustle is for my benefit, and the ancients will not deceive me."
Monk Huiwen said: "The Great Baoen Temple is actually not willing to participate in the dispute between the North and the South. Who is the orthodox Buddhist school has no influence on the Great Baoen Temple."
King Wen said calmly: "Your idea is right. The Great Baoen Temple is protected by the imperial court. The four words Taizu personally built it are enough to give the Great Baoen Temple a transcendent status. So what is your choice?"
Monk Huiwen looked up at King Wen and asked, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
King Wen smiled and said: "You know, I am not involved in your disputes in the world, let alone the disputes within the Buddhist religion? If this kind of thing is not handled well, it will cause a lot of trouble."
Monk Huiwen smiled bitterly.
If you really don’t want to participate, are you really here just to climb up and take a look at the rainy scenery of Yuhuatai?
While Monk Huiwen was thinking, King Wen suddenly brought up another topic.
"During this period, the world is not at peace."
"When King Ben came here, he saw an old woman praying devoutly in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva. When he got closer and asked, he found out that her two sons had disappeared in the northwest, where war was currently raging. The imperial court was sending troops to Liao, and the war
How can two ordinary people end up being crushed by a sharp weapon?"
"In addition, the Qianzhuang organized by the imperial court sold national debts and absorbed people's deposits, but it was difficult to pay back. In order to prevent the situation from deteriorating, the Jinyiwei used some violent methods. The big families in the south were almost slaughtered to the point of bleeding. Ten
