Chapter 602 Biography
"Please look at the Master, this is the Heavenly King Hall. The Heavenly King Hall is behind the bell tower and the drum tower, and it is also the first storefront of Shaolin. It enshrines the Buddha from the East, which is commonly known as Maitreya Buddha."
Under the guidance of Jue Ling, Ayuga and Huigang came to the front of the Heavenly King Hall, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and burned incense.
After walking through the Heavenly King Hall, you will pass the first area of Shaolin. The second area is full of Buddhist temples, the Medicine Buddha Hall, the Guanyin Hall, the Ksitigarbha Hall, the Manjushri Hall, the Samantabhadra Hall, the Lingji Hall, the Weituo Hall, and the Ten Halls of Reincarnation that warns the world, etc.
Ayuga and Huigang went to worship each temple like kowtow bugs, until they finally came to the front of the Main Hall and worshiped the Buddha of Heng Sanshi.
Jue Ling led them forward and came to the Wanfo Pagoda. He worshiped from the first to the seventh floor. After working hard, more than two hours had passed.
However, these are all prescribed procedures and cannot be missed. After worshiping Buddha, Jue Ling brought two people to the abbot's courtyard.
Ayuga was dazzled by the Arhat Hall, Bodhi Hall, Prajna Hall, Bodhi Hall and Precepts Academy along the way. Until he arrived in front of the abbot's courtyard, he had not figured out the situation and thought that this was also a temple for martial arts practice.
It was not until he saw the three big words "Ayuga" that he realized that he had arrived at the most critical place. He hurriedly tidied up his clothes and asked Huigang to help him see what was wrong with him and whether there was something rude.
Huigang's thoughts are all in the Dharma Hall. He is different from Ayuga. After Ayuga obtains the scriptures, he will go back to India. He wants to stay in Shaolin and wants to enter the Arhat Hall to practice earlier. Now he just agrees perfunctorily.
Ayuga looked at Huigang helplessly. Knowing that she could not count on her, she had to sort out herself and then walked into the abbot's courtyard.
The abbot's courtyard is also very large. Huo Yuanzhen's main hall usually does not open it. It is only used occasionally during meetings. Usually, the receptionists are in the wing room or in his own bedroom.
Today, the door of the main hall of the receptionist hall was opened, and all the monks of the first generation were sitting, while those of the Hui generation were lined up on the left and right sides.
The monks of the Hui generation all had dark red robes, two rows of bald heads, bright and bright tiles, and their aura was extraordinary, and their eyes were focused on Ayuga and Huigang who were walking outside.
Monks of the first generation made them on several chairs.
On the left are a lamp, a dust, and on the right are empty and a clean.
Huo Yuanzhen sat on the highest lotus platform. This was originally the lotus platform he used to practice. It was originally placed in the bedroom, but now it has been moved out.
Yideng and four people were wearing big red cassocks, but Huo Yuanzhen was wearing a goose-yellow monk's robe, which seemed unique.
But people don’t know that this beautiful monk robe was made overnight last night by Ning Wanjun and Luo Caiyi, just for the purpose of today’s big scene.
Looking at Ayuga and Huigang who were walking into the main hall with a smile, Huo Yuanzhen smiled and said nothing.
Ayuga and Huigang kneeled down to the ground most devoutly today. First, they kowtowed. After the kowtow, Ayuga took the lead in speaking: "A disciple Ayuga came to the prosperous Tang Dynasty from India according to the order of Master to seek the true scriptures. The journey took two years and three months, and traveled 108,000 miles. Today, he came to the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He came to Shaolin Temple where Master is located, and hoped that Master would pay attention to the sentient beings in India and grant the Mahayana Buddhism Tripitaka. Save all people from water and fire, and relieve the stupidity of the world!"
Huo Yuanzhen didn't speak, and the eyes of the people in the hall fell on Ayuga. Except for Huijian, it was the first time that the rest of the people saw Ayuga.
Many people have never seen foreigners before. When they see the different faces of Ayuga and the people of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, they also feel novelty.
Huo Yuanzhen looked at everyone with a smile: "Do you know who this is?"
The monks shook their heads and said they didn't know.
"This is the son of the King of Heaven. He is also the Emperor of Heaven, His Highness Ayuga."
The monks were amazed that the abbot was really capable of allowing the prince of India to come to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to obtain scriptures. This ability can be said to be unprecedented and unparalleled.
Tianzhu is the origin of Buddhism, but Buddhism has declined in Tianzhu, but it has emerged in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. All this is attributed to the young abbot.
Huo Yuanzhen turned a blind eye to the admiration of the people, and said plainly: "I went to India because of the decline of Buddhism in India and the power of Brahmins was rampant. Even the Hinayana Buddhism was not sound, and the Buddhist scriptures were even rare. I felt grateful that the origin of Buddhism was so declining, and I couldn't bear it, so I went all over India and looked for those who seek the scriptures."
Looking around, the Buddha light began to appear and gradually become clearer after Huo Yuanzhen's head. The monks around him looked at the glowing abbot with respect and devout look.
"I searched hard for many days and finally found Ayuga. This son has a true nature, and more importantly, he has a high Buddha nature. However, he needs to inherit the throne of India and is not suitable for entering my Buddhism. However, he has no choice but to promote Buddhism, so I asked him to come from India to the prosperous Tang Dynasty and seek the true scriptures. On the one hand, he can test his piety and on the other hand, he can also let all living beings in India know that the Mahayana Buddhism is hard-won."
"The abbot is thorough in thinking, and we can't wait."
There was a sentence left by the side, but Huo Yuanzhen didn't answer him.
"At the same time, I also accepted a disciple in Tianzhu, namely Huigang below. You must have known that my Buddhist temple is destined to have eight charity dragons, and Huigang is the Humaroka among them. Now, helping those who seek the scriptures to obtain the true scriptures and escort them all the way is considered a perfect merit."
After saying that, Huo Yuanzhen looked at Huigang: "Humoluoga, you have completed your mission. Now that you have returned to my Shaolin, you will have achieved the right result. Master will allow you to officially return to Shaolin and become my personal disciple. Now you get up and go to your senior brothers and sisters."
Huigang's eyes were filled with tears, and he bowed to Huo Yuanzhen again, then looked to the side and immediately saw where he should be.
The monks of the Hui generation below stood three people in the front of the left and right.
And the next head of these three people has two empty seats.
The three people on the left are the Heavenly King Huitian, Asura Comet, and Kinna Luo Huidao.
The three people on the right are Dragon King Huilong, Garuda Huiming, and Yasha Huiyuan.
There is another empty space on the left, which should be the position of Humoraja Huigang.
The empty space on the right is left for the Gandharva who are in short supply among the eight tribes of the Heavenly Dragons.
There was also a response between the Tianlong Ba Divisions. Huigang quickly found his place and stood up happily.
A little monk next to him handed over the cassock. Huigang put it on happily and looked up. He saw the master looking at him with a bright look. He immediately put away his smile, stood there with his chest raised and his head raised, with a serious expression, looking at Ayuga who was still kneeling below.
"Ayuga, you came from India from afar and suffered a lot of hardships. In a short while, you can follow my disciples to the Sutra Pavilion to obtain the scriptures."
"Disciple, thank you for your success!"
Huo Yuanzhen's eyes swept over the people around him again: "Ayuga is now my Shaolin lay disciple. After returning to India, he will inherit the throne and promote Buddhism and a grand Buddhist sect. This is a grand event of my Buddhism and a merit for all generations."
"Amitabha!"
The monks recited the Buddha's name together, put their hands together, and their voices were magnificent.
Huo Yuanzhen said to Ayuga again: "After you return to India, you must work hard and manage it. It is hard to come by the situation in Buddhism that can have the current situation. You must not become a Buddhist sinner."
"Master teaches disciples to remember."
"In the Indian, Master Daoyuan of Bujin Temple has now served as the National Master of Tianzhu. After you obtain the Tripitaka of Mahayana Buddhism, you will hand over the scriptures to him for safekeeping. This person should be responsible for his important task of revitalizing Buddhism!"
When Huo Yuanzhen was about to leave, Huigang handed over the position of national master to the respected abbot of Bujin Temple Daoyuan. This time, Ayuga returned to India, and this Zen Master Daoyuan would have a place to use his skills.
Ayuga bowed again and thanked him.
Huo Yuanzhen turned his gaze to two monks of Huiming and Huixian, the Hui generation.
"You two will take Junior Brother Ayuga to the Sutra Library to ask for the nameless elder."
"Disciple understand."
"Now, all the senior officials of Shaolin Hui generation and above are here. How many scriptures will be given to Tianzhu this time? What scriptures do you two report them first."
Huiming and Huixian nodded and agreed, and then went out of the crowd.
They all took a file in their hands, and recorded all the scriptures given to Tianzhu, which was also made overnight.
Huiming first spoke: "According to the abbot's decree, I have prepared the scriptures prepared to be given to Tianzhu. I will record them separately. Now I ask the abbot and your fellow disciples to correct me."
"Cough cough!" He first coughed twice and cleared his throat. Huiming said: "Twenty volumes of the Great Peacock Sutra."
Huixian immediately interjected: "Thirty-five volumes of the Ksitigarbha Sutra!"
"Sixteen volumes of Buddha's original practice!"
"Twelve volumes of the Agama Sutra!"
"Twelve volumes of Diamond Sutra!"
"Twenty volumes of Bodhisattva Precepts!"
"Twenty-two volumes of the Ming King's Sutra!"
"Forty-five volumes of the Three Treasures Sutra!"
“…………….”
The chanting echoed in the middle of Shaolin Temple. Although they were two monks, they had been preparing for this time to show off for a long time. At this time, they were chanting with a heart-wrenching voice and loud voices. There were also many tourists around the abbot's courtyard, and they were all attracted by it.
However, there was a young monk guarding the abbot's courtyard, and outsiders were forbidden to enter. Some people didn't know what was happening inside and asked people around them.
Under the instructions of the abbot, the young monks told the story of Prince Tianzhu traveling thousands of mountains and rivers to Shaolin to obtain scriptures.
People are all Buddhists. When they hear Shaolin's great achievements, they feel admiration as if they are admired by the mountains. They praise the abbot Yijie's unparalleled merits and the supreme contributions they have made to Buddhism.
