Chapter 586 Forced Donation (3)(1/3)

"I have seen Your Majesty."

Zhao Xu looked at the memorial and an old monk was taken by Feng Jing and entered the back bedroom.

So Zhao Xu raised his head and looked at this "acquaintance".

Mr. Jin is less than sixty now, and he has typical South Asian racial characteristics.

His beard is yellow, his eyebrows are thick, his face looks a little rich, his expression is calm and calm, and he looks a bit like a fairy-like trait.

"The mage is not given a gift." Zhao Xu put down his memorial and whispered to Feng Jing: "Give the mage a seat and tea."

"Amitabha!" Mr. Jin held his hands together and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

This was his first time to meet with the Emperor of Dongtu, who always took everything.

Although this emperor is young, General Jin dares not neglect at all.

Not just because of his ability to show politically.

And his skills in the religious field.

An old monk, a temple, and a Buddha's tooth relic, prying thousands of miles away.

The Zisheng Zen Temple in Mabangshan, Xizhou has thus become a local holy place.

That monk Zhiyuan was able to establish a sect because of this.

Although Mr. Jin did not know the details, the monk Zhiyuan went north and ordered the construction of Zisheng Zen Temple and worshipped Buddha's tooth relics. All of them came from the young emperor in front of him.

Obviously, Zhiyuan can do this so far, which is inseparable from the support of this young emperor.

"The mage comes to see me today, is there something wrong?" Zhao Xu asked slowly.

Mr. Jin quickly sang the Buddha's name and said, "I heard that your Majesty is in trouble. The people are suffering from the disaster in Huainan. I also saw Your Majesty's edict, and I was in the same way as the temples in Bianjing, and I felt the same way. So I decided to donate money together to help the living beings in Huainan..."

Zhao Xu listened and nodded, "Mage, mercy, I thanked the people of Huainan on behalf of the people of Huainan."

But he didn't mention his gratitude to the other monks, but turned his head and ordered Feng Jing: "Feng Jing, I'll contact the monk later and count the money donated by the temples."

"promise."

Now, Mr. Jin felt a little restless.

Fortunately, Zhiyuan's example made him know that this young emperor had a bad attitude towards Buddhism.

So he bowed eleven times and said, "I am here to report to Your Majesty the wishes of the monks in Bian Jing, but to ask Your Majesty for grace..."

"Um?"

"I want to go to the disaster area and recite the "Vajra Mantra of the Immortal Trace" to eliminate disasters and disasters..."

Zhao Xu listened, then stood up and said, "Mage, mercy, I have thanked the victims of Huainan!"

The Vajra Mantra of the Immortal Trace is the supreme mantra of Tantra, and it is the highest level of supernatural power.

It is said that this mantra was passed down when Shakyamuni Buddha transformed into Vajra and surrendered to the Brahma King.

Therefore, in addition to other Buddhist mantras, this mantra has great benefits such as eliminating diseases, refuge, and gaining blessings, and also has the magical effect of "can eliminate all sufferings, eliminate all sneaks, eliminate all charms, save all sentient beings, fulfill all wishes, subdue all evil ghosts and gods, and eliminate all insects and beasts, and do not harm them."

This mantra was introduced to China as early as the Southern and Northern Dynasties. After entering the Song Dynasty, it became well-known and highly respected with the spread of Tantric Buddhism in the Song Dynasty.

However, there are very few eminent monks who can practice this method, master this mantra, and are qualified to perform this mantra.

Mr. Jin is one of them.

Because he is one of the most accomplished monks in the contemporary Tantric sect.

This can be seen from his Dharma name.

The so-called Jin Zongji is just a transliteration of the Song Dynasty. Its full name is: the master of all Vajra, and the Sanskrit word is: Vazedradharata.

His status in Tantric Buddhism is comparable to that of Guru Padmasambhava and Atisha, who entered Us Tibetan Buddhism.

Of course, Zhao Xu knew that these were all intimidating.

However, the people believe this.

Religion is their best spiritual narcotic.

Seeing Zhao Xu get up, General Jin hurriedly stood up: "It is my duty to do my best for Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty, and the imperial court."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Good! Good! A merciful man."

"How come... today, there are very few monks who are as compassionate as the master and strictly observe the precepts!"

"The world of monks in the Song Dynasty is even more mixed with fish and dragons..."

Mr. Jin hurriedly put his hands together for ten weeks: "Amitabha Buddha, I will tell Your Majesty that as far as I know, the monks in the world have one or two unworthy monks, but they are generally strict and noble people, and practice and are capable."

"I hope!" Zhao Xu said: "I have issued an edict to Kaifeng Prefecture, the Temple Department, the Monk Record Department, and the head of the monks in Beijing."

"I hope their test scores will be as good as the mage said!"

"In this way, I will feel at ease."

Mr. Jin was stunned.

The presidency of the temples in Bianjing and the monks' heads' Buddhist practices are unknown to others, but he still doesn't know?

One by one, I can settle accounts, but I will ask them to recite scriptures...

In desperation, General Jin could only worship again: "It must be as your Majesty wishes."

What he knew was that the hosts and monk leaders had already thought of countermeasures.

It’s nothing more than spending money to eliminate disasters and bribing officials from the ancestral department to buy the exam questions in advance.

The relationship between the temple department is ready-made.

This is also the reason why they are fearless.

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "I hope!"

"By the way!" Zhao Xu looked at General Jin: "I heard that there is a fable in the Bianjing New News today, which is quite good."

"The mage can take a look."

Although Mr. Jin did not understand what Zhao Xu meant, he still recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha."

...

After leaving Kaifeng Prefecture, General Jin pinched a Vajra Seal to calm down.

"Is Bianjing new newspaper?" He ordered Xian Chao, a disciple who was waiting for him outside the government office, and said, "You go and buy me a copy of today's Bianjing new newspaper."

"promise!"

General Jin rode on his horse and headed towards the court.

In his heart, he recalled the various details in front of the imperial court.

His memory is very strong.

Therefore, relying on his memory, he forcibly wrote down all the details of the conversation that had just been in front of the emperor, including the change in the tone of the little emperor.

"The officials in the current dynasty did not have the idea of ​​destroying Buddhism."

This is for sure.

Otherwise, he would not have seen him, and he would not have stood up to thank him when he expressed his desire to go south to pray for the victims, chant mantras, and hold a Dharma meeting.

At the same time, the experience of Monk Zhiyuan in Xizhou also proves that this small official knew that Buddhism was very important to the Song Dynasty.

It can help him do a lot of things.

that is……

This official seemed very dissatisfied with the temples in Bianjing.

Moreover, it seems that there is something in the words, especially the final instructions, which hides the mystery.

That night, Mr. Jin received the new Bianjing News that was released this evening.

Then, he easily found a fable related to Buddhism in the Bianjing New Newspaper.

A conversation story with the devil king Pashu before the Nirvana of Buddha.

Mr. Jin was stunned when he saw the whole story.

"At the end of the Dharma, my son and grandson will be monks, wear your cassock, destroy your Buddhist teachings, slander your scriptures, and defeat your precepts!"

The words of the Demon King Pasun were like a spell, rolling and stirring in Mr. Jin's mind.

No matter how hard he is to keep his composure, he can only shed tears like the Buddha: "Amitabha!"

Immediately, Mr. Jin reacted: "It's broken!"

He was about to get up, but soon he sat down weakly.

Because he knew that he was powerless to do anything about what was going to happen!

...

Bianjing New News has now developed an inappropriate distribution system in this era.
To be continued...
