Chapter 524: The fate of the Cui family (two chapters in one)(2/2)
He was about to retaliate immediately. Because of this, Cui Hao not only became quarrelsome with himself, but also turned against his cousin Cui Yi and others. They were like fire and water.
Xia Pingan's apology when he looked at Mrs. Xiao Guo was really not pretending, but came from the heart. Because of Cui Hao, Mrs. Xiao Guo was buried with him in the end, and even the entire Guo family was killed. Cui Haoruo couldn't change
For his own destiny, the Taiyuan Guo family's marriage with such a son-in-law was tantamount to ruining the destiny of his entire family.
"Husband...Why has my husband changed so much?" Mrs. Xiao Guo asked curiously.
"Mrs. Haojiao learned that I haven't been out to relax recently. Just two days ago, I was out playing and wandered to the forest to rest alone. Suddenly I saw a monk from the Western Regions sitting under a tree. The monk's appearance
Gao Gu, when he saw me, without saying anything, he suddenly started reciting a Buddhist scripture. Madam also knows my temper. I have always disliked Buddhist scriptures. When I heard that monk reciting the scripture, I turned around and wanted to leave.
, but just after walking a few steps, I suddenly heard that the monk’s Buddhist scriptures were very similar to the teachings of Confucius in the Analects of Confucius. They coincided with each other. I was very surprised at the time, and my mind went blank.
I couldn't help but stay where I was, waiting for the monk from the Western Regions to finish memorizing the Buddhist scriptures..."
Mrs. Xiao Guo frowned slightly. She was familiar with many Buddhist scriptures translated from the Kingdom of Wei, and she didn’t know which one Xia Pingan was talking about. “What words made my husband think that the Buddhist scriptures and Confucius said the same truth?”
?”
"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. This saying comes from the Analects of Confucius. I often use this saying to educate my disciples. Madam should know!"
"Yes, Not Bad!"
"I didn't expect that Buddha actually said something almost exactly the same as Sage Confucius..." Xia Ping'an looked shocked.
"Oh, really, what words are they?"
"... Good man, I say that Bodhisattvas do not add anything to things that are not their own. If Bodhisattvas guard this Dharma, they will be able to uphold all the prohibitions of Buddhas and Tathagatas. Why? If you love your life, you should not kill, and if you value your wealth, you should not
Stealing, protecting your wife and house, and not invading others. Such actions are all called one Dharma. Good man, if there is anyone who respects and obeys the words of the Tathagata, he should always remember this one Dharma. Why? No living beings enjoy suffering.
Everything you do seeks peace and happiness, even if a Bodhisattva seeks Anuttarasamyaksambodhi, it is for the sake of happiness for yourself and others. Good man, with this meaning, I say this: "Don't add to things that are not your own."
.'Such a Dharma, these Bodhisattvas should always protect it!"
Xia Pingan directly recited a Buddhist scripture and said with emotion, "Madam, listen, the Buddha's teaching to the Bodhisattvas is 'Do not add to things that do not belong to you'. This is the same as Confucius' teaching to Confucian scholars, 'Do not do what you do not want others to do.
Isn't it the same as giving to others? When I heard this sentence in the forest that day, I felt my mind was shaken. It seemed that I suddenly understood and found that I had many misunderstandings about Buddhism before..."
"Don't add to things that don't belong to you... don't add to things that don't belong to you..." Mrs. Xiao Guo was shocked, "It is indeed as your husband said, this Buddha's teachings are truly the same as those of Confucius."
It’s completely consistent with not doing anything to others if you don’t want to do it to others…”
"Madam, it's not just that!" Xia Ping'an also became energetic and immediately started talking, "There are also scriptures in the Buddhist scriptures that say this... Good man, as you asked, what is the Dharma, Tathagata
Now you are aware? Good man, there are few dharmas for the Tathagata Awakening. Why? The Tathagata Awakened has no awareness. Good man, the Tathagata Awakened that all dharmas have no birth, that all dharmas have no cessation is the Tathagata Awakened, and all dharmas are separated from two.
The Tathagata realizes that all dharmas are unreal. Good man, the nature of all karma is the Tathagata. All dharmas arise from causes and conditions. The Tathagata realizes that the law of causes and conditions is like lightning. The Tathagata realizes that all karma has its origins due to causes and conditions.
Enlightenment,... Good man, one aspect of Dharma is Tathagata Enlightenment. What is the same aspect? It is said that all dharmas do not come or go, have neither cause nor condition, neither birth nor death, no taking, no giving up, neither increase nor decrease. Good man,
The inherent nature of all dharmas is nothing and cannot be explained, and it cannot be explained by words and phrases. Such a dharma is what Tathagata came to realize."
Xia Pingan recited another scripture casually, "Look, madam, isn't this scripture the same as what Lao Tzu said about the Tao being invisible? The Tao can be Tao, it can be named, it can be named, it can be named, it is the same truth. At that time, I listened to the saying from the Western Regions
After the monk memorized the scriptures, I suddenly had a profound enlightenment. I finally understood that Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism are originally one family. I also finally understood how narrow-minded I was in the past. I was too obsessed with the differences between sects and names, and did not have a thorough understanding of the three principles.
I’m really ashamed of the true meaning behind the teaching!”
Mrs. Xiao Guo frowned slightly and murmured to herself twice, also surprised, "Husband, I have read many Buddhist scriptures translated by Wei Guo, but there are no scriptures in the Buddhist scriptures that my husband just said. I don't know these scriptures."
Which Buddhist scripture does the text come from!"
Xia Pingxin said, of course you don't know now that this Buddhist scripture was not translated until the Tang Dynasty.
"I was greatly shocked at the time and asked the monk from the Western Regions what Buddhist scripture this was. The monk smiled and replied that this Buddhist scripture has not yet been introduced to the Wei State. I am the first person in the Wei Kingdom who has the honor to hear this Buddhist scripture. The meaning of this Buddhist scripture is
The name is called "The Mahayana Li Text Universal Light Tibetan Sutra"!"
As a devout Buddhist believer, Mrs. Xiao Guo became anxious when she heard that this Buddhist sutra had not yet been introduced to the Wei State. She immediately asked, "Just listening to the few sentences that your husband just said, I felt that this sutra is extremely wonderful.
I have never heard of it, and I wonder if your husband still remembers other parts of the Buddhist scriptures?"
"Madam knows that I have always had a good memory. It is strange to say that after listening to the monk from the Western Regions reciting this Buddhist sutra, I memorized the entire Buddhist sutra in my head at once, and the monk from the Western Regions disappeared for some reason.
I came to see my wife today, and I wanted to give this sutra to her and share it with her!"
Xia Pingan said, opened the wooden box he brought, took out a thin and beautifully bound book on the wooden box, and handed it to Mrs. Xiao Guo.
Mrs. Xiao Guo opened the Buddhist scriptures and just glanced at the scriptures in the book twice. She couldn't put it down and her eyes lit up.
But in the blink of an eye, Mrs. Xiao Guo also discovered the anomaly of this Buddhist scripture. This Buddhist scripture was not copied, but printed, and it was printed extremely beautifully. The words in the scriptures were neatly arranged and the fonts were beautiful.
It is pleasing to the eye. There are few Buddhist scriptures on the market that are printed so beautifully.
"Husband, why is this Buddhist scripture so beautiful?"
Xia Pingan smiled slightly and finally revealed the second purpose of his visit to Madam Xiao Guo, "Ahem, this is the second thing I came to see Madam today. I have a business here that I want to hand over to the Guo family.
With the Guo family in charge, if this business is successful, scholars all over the world can see such exquisite books, and the prices can be even cheaper. The Guo family can become the largest bookseller in the world, and it is easy to make tens of thousands of dollars a day!
"
"Ah, what kind of business is this? It's so powerful!" Mrs. Xiao Guo is not an ordinary woman. As a woman from the Guo family in Taiyuan, she naturally knows how much benefit it will bring to the entire family once the Guo family becomes the largest bookseller in the world.
, In the Wei State, it is not a shameful thing for wealthy families to do business. As long as it can make money, there are many people to do it. When they see that the pawnshop in the temple can make money, the royal family will open a pawnshop, known as the emperor's pawnshop. Compared with opening a pawnshop and making books,
Shang Na is so much better.
"Madam, this is the business..." Xia Pingan opened a wooden board under his box and saw that under the wooden board were movable wood-carved seals. Those seals were arranged together to form articles.
"How come these words are one after another and can still be moved..."
Xia Pingan casually exchanged the two movable types, "Madam is smart, you can tell at a glance that you should know the secret..."
As Xia Pingan explained, Mrs. Xiao Guo suddenly understood the mystery of movable type printing. Her eyes sparkled, and the way she looked at Xia Pingan was completely different.
"This kind of business is unique in the world. Whoever controls it will have huge profits. Are you really willing to let the country handle it?"
"My wife and I are originally one family. The Cui family, my lineage and the Guo family are also one, so there is no difference between them. Madam, there is no need to worry about this matter. If Madam finds time to go back to the Guo family, I will also
