As soon as the Lingshan Sutra Conference was over, Guanyin Bodhisattva handed over the golden imperial edict of the Eastern Expedition Buddhist Sutra to Fazu, and the Tathagata immediately arranged for Eight donkey kong to escort the Tang Priest and his disciples back to Datang to send the sutra.
Then Tang Priest and his disciples followed the Eight donkey kong, raised auspicious clouds, and returned to Chang 'an, the Great Tang Dynasty in the East.
Walking out of Lingshan Leiyin Temple, Guanyin Bodhisattva met three immortals who secretly blessed Tang Priest all the way outside. They are: five parties to reveal the truth, four values of Gongcao, six ding and six Jia, and protecting Galand Bodhisattva.
These immortals from heaven and Buddhism, seeing that Guanyin Bodhisattva gave the Tathagata the golden imperial edict, also stepped forward one after another, ready to give the imperial edict to Guanyin Bodhisattva.
These immortals from the Three Realms escorted the Tang Priest all the way, making him learn from the scriptures smoothly, which contributed greatly and made him more meritorious. So, Guanyin Bodhisattva happily answered them: Pay, pay!
Later, brother and sister and Gong Cao presented a disaster book, which recorded 80 disasters that Tang Priest encountered on his way to the West for Guanyin Bodhisattva to watch.
"Golden cicada is the first difficulty, killing a few at birth is the second difficulty, throwing a full moon into the river is the third difficulty ... drinking water poisoning is 42, keeping a marriage in Xiliang is 43 ... Tongtai House is banned is 79, Du Lingyun was born is 80, and it is 108,000 miles. The holy monks are inseparable. "
Guanyin Bodhisattva's experience of seeing Tang Priest is only 80 difficulties, which does not conform to the mystery of 1999 Buddhism returning to truth. She hastily arranged to uncover the truth, catch up with eight donkey kong and create another one.
Like other immortals, Tang Priest and his disciples flew in Xiangyun sky, suddenly stepped on the air, fell into quicksand river, and were drowned by a thousand-year-old shrew.
After some struggle, I finally went ashore, threatened by wind, fog, thunder and electricity, trying to seize the true scriptures in the hands of Tang Priest and his disciples.
On the way to learn from the scriptures, there are many hardships back and forth. In the twenty-seventh year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Tang Priest and his disciples finally came over Chang 'an and were very excited to see wangjinglou outside Xi.
Just then, the Tang Priest received a notice from donkey kong: We have arrived in Chang 'an, and the cloud is not good for us. Sun's three sages were also dismissed. You should pass on the scriptures to Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong. Even if you come back, we will wait for you in Xiaohan and go back to Lingshan with you.
Some readers have read through Four Great Classical Novels and The Journey to the West and have doubts. Eight donkey kong escorted Tang Priest to the East to learn Buddhist scriptures, and he was also on a business trip around Tathagata Buddha. After all, he is a guest from afar. Why are you afraid to enter the city when you arrive in Chang 'an? Even the three disciples of Tang Priest, the Monkey King, Pig and Bajie Sha Wujing, are not allowed to enter the city?
So what are donkey kong's scruples and worries? Today, we will talk about this topic in combination with the original Journey to the West. For everyone to exchange and discuss.
First, I am worried about being painted, which will have a bad influence.
Seeing Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, looking upstairs, Tang Priest and his disciples were overjoyed, but they were thrown a pot of cold water by the Eighth donkey kong: Only Tang Priest was allowed to enter the city.
Why did donkey kong do this? Look at the original journey to the west. How did King Kong explain: "This is Chang 'an. We can't go down. The people here are very smart, and we are afraid to expose our image. "
Donkey kong's general idea is that the person who wins in Yingzhou is too clever. Once we show our true colors, we are afraid that someone will draw our image and reveal it to the people.
Who is the "smart" person in King Kong's mouth? Most likely, Wu Daozi is good at painting Buddhism, ghosts and gods, and figures.
Think about it. At the beginning of the Buddhist scriptures, Guanyin Bodhisattva went to Chang 'an in the Tang Dynasty to find the scriptures, and then showed her true body at the land and water dharma meeting of Huasheng Temple in Chang 'an. From top to bottom, everyone bowed respectfully to Guanyin Bodhisattva and said, Good Bodhisattva, Good Bodhisattva!
In this short period of time, Wu Daozi, a well-connected painter, immediately developed a wonderful pen and drew the true image of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
It should be these superb painters that donkey kong pays attention to "manifestation".
Why is Guanyin Bodhisattva not afraid to expose her image, but donkey kong is?
The so-called: Bodhisattva's eyebrows are low, and King Kong's eyes are glaring.
"The Change of Genji" thinks that this is related to the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva, who is merciful, quiet and solemn, and blessed those who see it. And eight donkey kong looks a bit fierce, which is not consistent with the compassion and kindness advocated by Buddhism.
If donkey kong goes to town, they accidentally expose lost face, leaving a bad impression on Buddhism, which is especially unfavorable to the "project" of Buddhism spreading to the east.
