South China Sea Myth

It's the first time. Jianzhen set up an ordination altar in front of the Buddha statue in Todaiji Temple, first conferred ordination for the emperor, the empress dowager, and the emperor, and then ordained a group of high hatreds. Seeing this, you may ask, what is ordination? Acceptance means that Buddhist believers accept the Buddhist precepts given by the Master through certain rituals to restrain their actions.

Movie (Shaolin Temple), there is a scene of Shaolin Temple hosting the ordination of the little monk Jueyuan. When Jianzhen arrived in the island country, many people came every day to listen to him explain the Buddhist scriptures and ask him to be ordained. Every day, the temple has to take out a lot of rice to cook for these people. In this way, there will not be enough food in the temple to eat. When the emperor learned of this, he allocated a paddy field to Kenzhen (the town is equivalent to 14.88 acres). If you have a field, how to use it, everyone has different ideas, some say that you invite people to plant, and you can have a lot of people when you sell the grain you cut down every year; Some people say that it is better to rent it to farmers to grow and collect rented rice. While listening, Jianzhen shook his head again and again, saying: Your ideas are not good. I think it's better to use this land to build a temple, which can not only be used to give lectures, but also to let Japanese friends learn the construction techniques of my Datang. "

Before his words fell, several disciples said happily, "This is really a good way to kill two birds with one stone." The island country knew Jianzhen's intentions, and was deeply moved, and gave another piece of old house. Construction of a new temple began on this old homestead. Its drawings and designs are all presided over by the master of Jianzhen himself. Two years later, a group of halls built in the form of Chinese wooden buildings were completed. The whole building structure is exquisite, the momentum is majestic, the slope-shaped roof, the columns that rise from the ground, the high bell tower and the drum tower, perfectly embodies the style of Tang Dynasty architecture, and it caused a sensation on the island country for a while, and many people came from far away to visit. The Emperor personally wrote the words "Karashodaiji Temple".

Since then, Jianzhen has been living here to lecture and receive ordination. "Tang Zhaoti Temple" became the most famous temple in the island country at that time. Once, when the emperor fell ill, he invited more than 100 doctors to see him, and he took a lot of medicine, but he still did not get better. Dozens of ministers came to visit the palace, and the emperor said to them very sadly: "Famous doctors from all over the country have been invited, but it still has no effect." It seems that I can't cure this disease. "

At this time, a minister said: "The old minister heard that the great monk Jianzhen knows some medical skills, why don't you invite him to come and treat you." "The emperor was eager to heal his illness and hurriedly sent someone to ask for Jianzhen. When Jianzhen heard this, the emperor was sick, and immediately followed a few apprentices to the palace. He stretched out his hand to feel the pulse for the emperor, then prescribed medicine, ordered his apprentice to dispense the medicine and send it, and Jianzhen then returned to his residence with his men.

One day, the emperor sent someone to ask Jianzhen, and when Jianzhen came, the emperor politely said, "Sit, sit, sit." Jianzhen felt strange and thought, "Is there something wrong?" The emperor said, "I would like to thank the master in person. "It turned out that the emperor took the medicine prepared by Jianzhen, and it didn't take long for his illness to be cured. The Emperor also gratefully said to Jianzhen: "Master, your medicine is really spiritual!

Jian Zhen said with a smile: "Where is the immortal medicine, it's just some ordinary herbs brought from the Tang Dynasty." When the emperor heard this, he was very strange: "The herbs I took before were also from the Tang Dynasty, why didn't they work?" Jianzhen said, "Can you show me what kind of medicine it is?"

The emperor ordered that the herbs that had been prepared for him in the past be shown to Jianzhen. Jianzhen picked up the medicines, sniffed them with his nose, and used his hands

Medicine, how can it cure the disease? I pinched it, licked it with my tongue, and then said, "Some of these medicines are fake, and some of them are made in the wrong way." After eating such a thing, the emperor suddenly came to his senses, and immediately asked Jianzhen to distinguish the authenticity of all the herbs that had been sent from China, and also asked him to write down the purpose and preparation method of each medicine. Since then, Jianzhen has been regarded as the ancestor of medicine by the island country, and his head is printed on the medicine bag. Another time, a few Japanese friends came to visit Jianzhen in the temple, just in time for dinner.

Jianzhen specially asked people to make a pot of tofu, at that time, the island people did not know how to make tofu, those guests tasted it, they were full of praise, and immediately asked Jianzhi for advice on how to behave with tofu, and told them. Later, tofu became a food that spread in Japan. Until now, there is a kind of tofu in the island country that should be packed with the words "Tang Chuan Dried Tofu" printed on the pocket!

Dr. Bai said: Jianzhen has spent 17 years in the island country. When he was 76 years old, one day, he had a premonition that he was about to die, and hurriedly asked someone to help him, with his face facing the direction of the motherland, sitting cross-legged, and stopped breathing for a while. When the unfortunate news came out, the entire island country was shaken, and the masses were all sad, and they rushed to Tang Zhaoti Temple to carry out condolence activities.

Fang Ping said: After hearing about it, the Buddhists in Yangzhou, the hometown of Master Jianzhen, couldn't help but cry loudly to the East. After Jianzhen's death, in order to preserve the image of the master permanently, the disciple Sito took the appearance of the master himself, and made a statue of a sitting crab for him, with his eyes closed and smiling, with a kind face, which realistically showed his benevolent character and stoic will. This statue has not been held until now, and is regarded as a national treasure of Japan.

For more than 1,000 years, Jianzhen has been deeply remembered by the Chinese and Japanese peoples. After the new establishment, the Jianzhen Memorial Hall was established in Yangzhou. In 1980, the Buddhist circles of the island country also held a commemorative activity for the statue of Master Jianzhen to return to China. As an envoy of friendship between China and Japan, Jianzhen is worthy of eternal remembrance. Just as the famous poet Guo Moruo said: Jianzhen blindly sails the East China Sea, and a sincere picture is too clear. Sacrificing oneself for others to preach the arts, the Tang style permeates Nara Castle.

Dr. Myth said that Jianzhen is more valuable than his fearless spirit, not just as a knowledgeable monk. In the case of blind eyesight, Jianzhen, who has entered the year of the sixtieth year, finally succeeds in traveling east to Japan for the sixth time. After arriving in the island country, he taught the law and helped the world, becoming the founding ancestor of the island country's law sect. The people of the island country respectfully call him "the master of crossing the sea".

Ah Lang and Ah Bin listened to Li Ping and Dr. Myth tell the story of Jianzhen, and at the same time used the dream functions of magic clothes and magic vests to feel the touching historical pictures.

Dr. Mythology said: "Jianzhen is the living immortal of the Chinese nation. The stone of Jianzhen Muhai is a masterpiece of great manifestation. Although there is no element of love, the story of Jianzhen can make us understand what the great love of human beings is. Jackal, the crow spirit is now looking for treasure knives and treasure hoes everywhere, this is the treasure used in Dinghai, we must be ahead of them. "
