Chapter 10 Friends with others

(There is a lot of historical information in this chapter, and it can be regarded as a specific introduction to Jianzhen, hehe.) ）

After the initial confusion, Yun Canghai immediately calmed down, and now its location is a temple, and the little monk in front of him should be a human who saved himself, and he should not harm himself. And according to the breath induction, his cultivation can't show his identity and strength, and it just so happens that he needs cultivation and experience, so let's just start here.

Thinking of this, Yun Canghai immediately decided to have a good relationship with this little monk, and at this time, he happened to hear Jianzhen's inquiry, so there was a scene just now.

Although Jianzhen was taken aback by Yun Canghai, after all, he was a teenager, and he immediately turned into joy, and because Jianzhen was accepted as a novice by his master Master Zhiman at the age of 14 at the age of fourteen, and he has been practicing Buddhism since he was ordained a monk, and his heart is pure, so he still retains a large part of his childlike innocence, and Yun Canghai's well-behaved and cute appearance immediately attracted his affection. Jianzhen couldn't help but gently stroke the body of the little snake that he thought was very cute, he felt that the skin of the little snake was very smooth and delicate, and it was warm and soft, just like stroking Wen Yu, which was very comfortable to touch.

Yun Canghai's whole body stiffened for a moment when it was touched by Jianzhen, it was the first time since it was conscious, it felt the taste of being touched, the gentle, slow and a little trembling feeling spread from the epidermis to the heart, there was no hostility, only warmth and care, and there was a kind of warm and comfortable feeling that made the soul tremble, Yun Canghai's heart suddenly flashed a thought: "Friendship! Is this friendship? Can friendship arise between humans and demons?" "It should be possible, as long as it is an intelligent life, there will be feelings, as long as under certain conditions, people and demons can also have friendship, am I not an example?" Thinking of this, Yun Canghai felt that the doubts in his heart were swept away, and he also had a little more understanding, and the Yuan Shen was also more condensed with this understanding, his soul was more mellow and transparent, and his feeling of "friendship" was also clearer.

The little snake in Jianzhenxian's hand made a very comfortable and enjoyable look, and he was very happy. He is now really in love with this little snake, Buddhism pays attention to the cycle of cause and effect, a qiē with fate, this encounter with the little snake may be fate, and it is a sin to miss it. After thinking of this, he asked Yun Canghai: "Then we will be friends in the future, I should also choose a name for you, most of your skin is silvery-white, how about I call you Ah Yin?"

Yun Canghai thought about it after hearing it, anyway, he hadn't told the little monk his true identity yet, and as a friend, it was okay to accept such a close title, so he nodded at Jianzhen. Jianzhen felt more and more that meeting this little snake was a blessing from the Buddha to him, it was so spiritual that it could understand human speech.

He said happily to Yun Canghai: "Ah Yin, then we will be friends in the future, my Dharma name is Jianzhen, and I am the little Shani of this Dayun Temple, and in the future, this will also be your home." "Jianzhen, that famous monk Jianzhen of the Tang Dynasty who traveled to Japan to the east, Yun Canghai was suppressed by this friend's Dharma name, and the information of Jianzhen that circulated in later generations appeared in his mind: Jianzhen, a senior monk of the Tang Dynasty, a doctor. The common surname is Chunyu, a native of Jiangyang, Guangling (now Jiangdu, Jiangsu). At the age of 14, he was a novice in Dayun Temple, and studied Buddhism with the high monk Zhiman Zen Master, and then went to Chang'an to receive full ordination from Master Hongjing, for three years, and then returned to Yangzhou with profound knowledge. Japanese monks Rong Rui and Puzhao came to China to study Buddhism, and urged Jianzhen to go to Japan to preach Buddhism. Jianzhen readily agreed, and overcame all kinds of difficulties, and succeeded six times. He arrived in Japan in the 12th year of Tenpo (753) with Buddhist scriptures, Buddhist utensils, and Buddha images. At this time, Jianzhen was blind, but he still worked hard to promote Buddhism, spread Chinese culture, and with his rich experience, taught medical knowledge, especially the spices and medicines he brought, etc., and still have its ruins in Shodaiji Temple and Todaiji Shosoin Temple in Nara, Japan. Try to cure the illness of the Empress Dowager of Light and Emperor Shomu (see Tiantai Yaku). Japan has awarded him the titles of "Great Monk Capital" and "Yamatojo", and the Japanese people have praised him as "Master of Crossing the Sea". His works include "The Secret Recipe of the Master", which unfortunately has not been circulated.

At the age of 14, he was accepted by Zhiman as a novice and resided in the Great Cloud Temple. In the first year of Shenlong (7o5), he received the bodhisattva vows according to the lawyer of Daogan. In the first year of Jinglong (7O7), he traveled to Luoyang and then to Chang'an. In the following year, he received full ordination at Chang'an Actual Temple according to lawyer Hengjing. Touring the two capitals, studying the three Tibets. For the Vinaya, the attainments are particularly profound. Dao'an and Hengjing, who ordained him, are both temporary fame of law, and they are also the second disciples of the Nanshan Sect's founding humane lawyer. Although he studied law under the Nanshan Sect, he did not hold a family view. In the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the dominant Nanshan Sect, there were also the Xiangbu Sect of Xiangzhou Riguang Temple and the East Tower Sect of Huaisu of West Taiyuan Temple. Subsequently, Jianzhen traveled to Japan to carry both legal classics and the latter. In the teaching, the three books of Fa Li's "Four Divisions of Law Shu", Dingbin (belonging to Xiangbu Zong) and Daoxuan's "Acting Notes" are the mainstays, especially the two books written by Fa Li and Dingbin.

He also made a lot of achievements in Buddhist architecture and sculpture. According to the "Biography of Tang Dahe Shangdong Expedition", after Jianzhen, he returned to Huainan and taught the precepts, and built a temple every time he "lectured,...... The statues of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are immeasurable." In terms of medicine, Boda is versatile, extremely fine in tasting, once presided over the Beitian Temple of Dayun Temple, treating people, personally decocting medicines for the sick, and the medical Tao is very high.

In the first year of Tianbao (742), the Japanese monk Rong Rui and Puzhao were entrusted by the Japanese Buddhist circles and the government to invite him to Japan to preach the ordination, Jianzhen readily agreed, from that year to the seventh year of Tianbao, in 12 years, he led the people to cross to the east five times, but failed due to the wind and waves at sea, the reef, the shipwreck, the sacrifice and the obstruction of some local officials; On the way back, when passing through Duanzhou, the Japanese disciple Rong Rui died of illness, Jianzhen was sad and sad, coupled with the heat, sudden eye disease, and blindness. But his ambition to propagate the Dharma to the east was strong and never wavered. Tenpo crossed to the east for the sixth time in 12 years, and finally arrived in Kyushu, Japan, and went to Heijokyo (present-day Nara) in February of the following year.

Jianzhen was very popular in Japan. He conferred the Bodhisattva vows on the Emperor, Empress, and Crown Prince of Japan, or for more than 44o people such as the novice cultivators, and the new vows for the 8o monks who gave up the old vows. Since Japan, there has been a formal legal tradition. Jianzhen is revered as the first ancestor of the Japanese Ritsu sect. In 756, Emperor Koken appointed him as the Grand Monk Capital to oversee the affairs of monks and Buddhas in Japan. In 759, Jianzhen and his disciples worked hard to design and build the Tang Zhaoti Temple, where they have been teaching and ordination. In terms of construction, statues, murals, etc., he and his disciples adopted the most advanced technology of the Tang Dynasty, adding brilliance to the formation of the art of the Japanese Tenping Period. For example, the Tang Zhaoti Temple complex is a masterpiece left by Jianzhen and his disciples. The entire structure and decoration reflect the characteristics of Tang Dynasty architecture, and it is the largest and most beautiful building in Japan from the Tenpyo period. Before Jianzhen died, the disciples also used the latest technique of dry lacquer clips to make a portrait of him. Japan is regarded as a national treasure. In February 198o, in order to enhance the friendship between the two peoples for generations, the Japanese-Chinese friendship group sent the statues back to Beijing and Yangzhou for Chinese and Buddhists to pay respects. Jianzhen and his disciples are mostly good at calligraphy, and when they went to Japan, they carried the authentic handwriting of Wang Xizhi and the father and son of Xianzhi, which had an impact, and the Japanese people still love the art of Chinese calligraphy. At that time, most of the Japanese Buddhist scriptures were imported from Korea, and they were dictated and copied by hand, and mistakes were inevitable. According to the Continuation of the Japanese Chronicle, the emperor commissioned Jianzhen to correct the errors in the scriptures. Jianzhen's most outstanding contribution to the Japanese people is the teaching of medical knowledge, and he is regarded as the ancestor of medicine by the Japanese people. The Japanese tofu industry, the catering industry, and the brewing industry also believe that their industry skills are all taught by Jianzhen.

On the sixth day of the fifth month of the second year of Tang Baoying (763, the 7th year of the Japanese Tianping Baozi), Jianzhen died in Tang Zhaoti Temple at the age of 76. The disciple Si Tuo recorded his six eastward journeys, and the famous Japanese writer Yuan Kai polished the "Biography of the Tang Dynasty and the Expedition to the East", which has been passed down through the ages.

However, Yun Canghai remembered that in later generations, it was not said that Jianzhen would also practice Buddhism, and the Jianzhen in front of him obviously had a certain amount of Buddhist cultivation, so how could he be wiped out at the age of 75? It seems that there are many unknown secrets in this, and it seems that Jianzhen traveled east to Japan, and it seems that it should not be just to promote Buddhism.

Although he was shocked by his friend's name, but anyway, Yun Canghai was still very happy to make the first friend in his life, he suppressed the doubts in his heart, played with Jianzhen, and kept climbing up and down on Jianzhen, making Jianzhen laugh while itchy.

This unusual night passed unconsciously in the play of two new friends. Yuncang Hai thought while playing, and all the questions about the experience of authenticity will be revealed one by one in the future.
