The great monk Buddha Tucheng, in Xiangguo and even the whole Hebei, there are many miraculous stories that are widely praised.

Among the more famous ones, for example, when the two Zhao contended, the Buddha Tucheng prophesied that Liu Yao would die, and the ancestor Shi Le was inspired by this, so he resolutely devoted his national strength to fight with Liu Yao in Luoyang when the king of Zhongshan Shihu had been defeated, and he really captured Liu Yao, and then became the hegemony of the Qi State to unify the north.

For example, one day, the great monk sat down with Shi Hu, the lord of the country, and suddenly took wine and sprayed it in the northeast direction, saying that the fire in Youzhou had been extinguished. After that, Shi Hu made people investigate and verify, and it was as he said.

There is an even more exaggerated one, that is, there is a hole on the side of the left breast of Buddha Tucheng, which leads directly to the abdomen, and this great monk will occasionally take out the intestines from the hole and wash them, and then stuff them into the abdomen. This hole is usually plugged with a fladding cloth, when reading indoors at night, as long as the flocculent cloth that plugs the hole is removed, its own brilliance is revealed from it, shining all over the hall, no need for lights and candles.

There are all kinds of piles, there is no lack of whimsy, and more absurd, so that people can not believe it at a glance. But these miraculous stories were widely spread in Hebei, and both the scholars and even many people who were recognized as wise and intelligent at the time believed in them were convinced of this.

This is actually very understandable, and it is still the result of the layman's self-speculation about the emperor's temperament.

The kingdom of Qian ruled China with Hulu, which was already quite strange, even if it was a rather virtuous ancestor Shi Le, in fact, he was a little moody, and the punishment and rewards were overflowing, and it was difficult to spend it normally. As for the later Shi Hu, he was even more so in this regard. So much so that many high-ranking and powerful courtiers of the kingdom trembled, lest one day they would be disappointed and invite trouble.

The two masters, who were so difficult to serve, were respectful to the great monk Buddha Tucheng, and rarely offended. Then there is only one reason, that is, Buddha Tucheng must have supernatural abilities beyond others, which can make him favor Rilong, and even the kings of the world dare not be rude to him. The more those who can feel the danger of the companion, the more they naturally believe in it.

If there is an effect, there must be a cause, but whether the cause and effect can correspond correctly is not the most concerned issue for people, and in the face of unknown and unsolved problems, they need only an explanation. There are too many miracles in the world, and most of them are born because of this.

But in fact, the lords of the great heroes, whether tyrannical or not, are the most afraid of forces that are not under their control. If Buddha Tucheng really has all kinds of supernatural powers in the rumors, I am afraid that the ancestor Shi Le will kill him first when he first sees him.

At present, this great monk of Hebei Shishu who has been praised a lot is sitting in a pavilion in the queen's palace. Because he has maintained a close relationship with several lords, Buddha Tucheng is no stranger to the palace ban, not to mention the queen's palace, even if it is the Jiande Hall to discuss military affairs, every time the dynasty period, Buddha Tucheng occasionally attends, and even needs the prince's nobles to support the palace, which shows the respect of the lord Shihu for his people.

Regardless of what the great monk has for the time being, at least in terms of appearance, he is only a middle-aged person, typical of the appearance of the Hu people in the Western Regions, and his skin and flesh are loose due to old age, which looks a little hideous at first glance.

But if you look closely, this senior monk does not have the anger that ordinary Hu people usually see between his eyebrows and eyes, but even the wrinkles on his face reveal a bit of tranquility, which creates a unique temperament for him.

For the many honors he enjoys in the kingdom, Buddha Tucheng is only calm, and he does not have any scruff or trepidation because of this, but respectfully and prudently worships the Buddha and propagates the Dharma. Buddha Tucheng is not the only one of the Shamen monks favored by the Lord Shihu, but most of the other Shamen are arrogant and arrogant because of this favor, and even run rampant in the world and tyrannize lawlessness, Buddha Tucheng can be quiet and self-controlled, which is also one of the reasons why he can be more supported and praised by scholars than other monks.

"The Lord of the People admires the Dharma, and I teach it with the Dharma. The people he respects are the Buddha, the Dharma, not me. He is the king of the earth, and all the people are obedient. I am the pawn of the Buddha Kingdom, the only one who respects the Dharma King. If I abandon the tranquility of this Buddha country and rely on the authority of the Lord to enjoy the world, it is to abandon the blessing of the Buddha and return to the criminal laws of the world. ”

Although he was involved in the danger of the kingdom, Buddha Tucheng did not have much panic, and at this moment he was still teaching the Dharma to the disciples who accompanied him: "Although I am self-satisfied with the Dharma, I have given you less and so on, not because I cherish this way, but because I admire the Buddha, after all, it is not your own destined follower." You have your own wisdom in your bosom, and if I teach each other the Dharma, I will suppress the growth of your own wisdom. ”

"The precepts in the door are not to suppress your temperament with rules, the Dharma is grand, people are at a loss in the middle, and within the precepts, it is the love of the Buddha. If you practice one point, you will be able to experience one point of Buddha miracles, and you will be able to practice the evil law. The precepts taught are the convenient door to practice, and this is a principle that can be practiced by the Chinese and all other people......"

There are many disciples of Buddha Tucheng, both powerful and powerful children, and there is no shortage of poor pawns, but when the master preaches the Fa, they all look solemn, and they seem to have completely forgotten that they are in Jiande Palace at this moment, and they are in such a dangerous place where swords and swords are flooded and may die at any time.

But the noise outside the pavilion was inevitably introduced after all, and some people still couldn't hold it back, and began to fidget, and hesitated to ask Buddha Tucheng: "The master bows to the Buddha country, but now he still has to be controlled by the king of the world, and he can't help but stay involuntarily, and he is coerced in and out of the world, and he has to worry about his life. ”

Although this person asked questions with fear and anxiety about the current situation, he was not criticizing, but sincerely inquiring.

When Buddha Tucheng heard this, he smiled, and his somewhat cloudy old eyes also flashed at this time: "I have been in the Buddha Kingdom, but this form is here temporarily." It's not that the Buddha country can't accommodate it, the Buddha country is grand, and everything can accommodate it, but I still owe something to my practice, so I have to stay here. If I can be both physically and mentally engaged, then I am a true Buddha. ”

While talking, suddenly there was a voice asking to see outside, and it was the queen Zheng who came to see him with the crown prince Shi Di and Boling Gong Shi Zun. Buddha Tucheng did not shy away from his disciples, so he met with them here, and when he heard their intentions, he did not hesitate, and personally handed a long-standing magic weapon to the queen, which was counted as a token. And after the queens got what they wanted, they didn't stay long and hurried out.

Seeing this scene, the disciples had different expressions, and one of the bhikshunis, whose family was a nobleman of the Karma Kingdom, had a deeper understanding of the current power flow of the Karma Kingdom and the intention of the Queen's mother and son to visit.

At this moment, seeing that the monk agreed to the queen's request without asking right from wrong and not distinguishing between cause and effect, the bhikshuni was a little worried and unhappy, and he endured it again and again, but he couldn't help but say, "What the Dharma just did was to take his own karma and put himself in danger, is this also what the Dharma teaches?" ”

After hearing this, Buddha Tucheng laughed again: "Teaching you the precepts and letting you follow the Buddha's traces is a convenient method." But in addition, it is still necessary to polish the wisdom before we know that the Fa can be effective and what is not. His Holiness cut meat and fed eagles because he was the Dharma King and his supernatural powers were worthy of karma. If you do the same, then you die, and this is foolishness. There are 3,000 appearances of the Buddha, but how much wisdom is reflected depends on whether your respective spiritual light is polished and clear or not. ”

"The queen's mother and son begged me, and they begged for the aspect. I don't ask why it's convenient or what's convenient, it's saving up convenience for myself. As for the calamity that is hidden in it, it is the trouble that I deserve to suffer when I am so convenient. I am greedy for convenience, so I am subject to difficulties, which is also the reason for the trade-off. As for the wreckage that will be destroyed because of this, I can just accept it calmly, and there is no need to worry about it, after all, convenience is my own enjoyment, and the blessing and misfortune are not imposed on me. ”

Speaking of this, Buddha Tucheng looked at the disciples with regret and said, "I am waiting for you, or we will stop in the near future. Parting is imminent, or a word of gift, Buddhism said, from the border into the Middle Earth, suddenly prosperous in this world, but also our Shamen because of the convenience of stealing the country. You can see the calamity of my convenience, and you should be able to see that the calamity of my own convenience is not far away. After Fachang, the destruction of the Fa is not far away, whether you want to defend yourself or abandon yourself, I will not give advice here, it is still up to each of you. ”

When the monks and nuns heard this, their expressions were panicked for a while, and they could naturally hear the subconscious meaning of Buddha Tucheng's words, that is, they were not optimistic about the future of the kingdom. Their Dharma is highly respected by the Lord in Hebei, and once the master recovers, one can imagine what attitude towards them will be.

"Is there no way to survive this catastrophe? When this Dharma is declining, don't the Buddhas be sympathetic to the sufferings of the believers? ”

A disciple couldn't help but ask.

Buddha Tucheng sighed and said: "The grandeur of the Buddha does not increase or decrease because of whether we are courteous or not. And when we wait to worship the Buddha, what we do is ultimately to seek our own liberation. It is we who should be punished, not the Buddha who has been liberated earlier. Buddhism requires faith, not trust. When calamity comes, you can get some liberation, and you can receive some self-satisfaction. As for me, I am at ease, but this old body is waiting for the catastrophe. ”

After all, everyone was still sad and unhappy, Buddha Tucheng still said: "The Buddha exists in detachment, and the law lies in heaven and earth, which is not something that can be changed by choosing people's hearts." Even if the Lord of the Southern Land will ban the Dharma in the coming year, he can only destroy the monks, not the Buddhas. The cold winter is coming, and there are many plants and trees withering to preserve their vitality, but there are also green pines and green cypresses born in honeysuckle. The so-called Fa is teaching people to live in themselves, and the art is in the Fa, and the words of the Fa cannot be comprehended thoroughly, so what face is there to beg for the protection of God and Buddha? ”

Speaking of this, Buddha Tucheng did not say more. In fact, he can talk about a lot more, such as his own experience, which is a model of living in troubled times, but no matter how transparent the truth is, it still depends on everyone to understand it. After all, the perpetrators are still separate, and the Buddha can grant the Dharma, but he will not act on his behalf.
