After Bai was accepted by the mountain shadow sorrow river in "Snake Plate", the Buddhist scripture team succeeded. On the way to the Western Heaven, the Tang Priest's master and disciples had a short and safe journey.
In early spring, he continued to walk in the mountains. Tang Priest looked up and saw rows of corridors, halls and pavilions in the ravine.
The Tang Priest's master and disciples approached and were overjoyed. What is the name of the temple here? Kannonji, with its huge scale, high bell and drum towers and magnificent pagoda? This is a good place to spend the night.
After a hearty meal, Elder Jinchi of Kannonji took out the 12 cassock collected in the temple and hung it in the yard one by one, showing off his house and embroidery and showing off his wealth.
As a monk, Elder Jinchi should practice quietly and give up greed and ignorance. Instead of leaving like this, he saw the cassock in the Tang Priest's master's bag and became greedy for a moment, thinking? Killing for clothes? .
Thousands of pearls fall, and thousands of strange Buddha treasures remain. The dragon must be colorful and surrounded by brocade? No real monk dares to wear it. ?
In order to keep this personal treasure given to Tang Priest by Tathagata Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva for himself, Elder Jinchi took advantage of the dead of night to remove firewood and prepare to set fire to Tang Priest and the Monkey King.
The Monkey King came to heaven and borrowed it from Guangmu Tianwang? Fire shield? Kannonji, where Elder Jinchi is located, suffered a great disaster. A well-preserved temple was destroyed by a raging fire.
In the fire, the black bear Jing, who was more than twenty miles away from Kannonji, took advantage of the fire and stole the robe, ready to open one. Buddhist costume convention? .
Finally, Old Jinchi not only didn't get his favorite robe, but also destroyed the monastery that existed for hundreds of years. Not worth the loss, he lost his wife and soldiers.
Deeply ashamed of being alive, when Elder Jinchi was extremely anxious, he finally ran into the wall of the monastery and ended his life.
Read through Four Great Classical Novels and Journey to the West. Yuan yiyuan? I found that this elder Jinchi, though a monk disciple, was infected with many bad customs and was greedy for money and killed people, but he was also a human being? Old birthday girl? .
In the original Journey to the West, Wu Cheng'en once wrote a poem lamenting the elders: I can't help lamenting that my old woman is ignorant, and I have lived all my life in vain. I want the cassock to be handed down from generation to generation. Do you know that Fobao Bhutan is the same? What's the use of Guang Zhi's broad vision? Harm others and benefit yourself with a sieve!
How old is Elder Jinchi and how long is his life span? According to the myth of Journey to the West, he lived for 270 years.
When he showed off his Buddhist robes with the Tang Priest and his disciples, he claimed that he became a monk in Kannonji in 2560 and had seven or eight hundred Buddhist robes?
In ancient myths and legends, Peng Zu was a folk longevity boss and health expert, who experienced a long time from Xia Dynasty to the end of Yin Dynasty. Because during the period of Emperor Yao, Peng Zu, who was good at cooking wild chicken soup, presented a gift to Emperor Yao, and Emperor Yao gave Peng Cheng to him, so later people called him? Peng Zu? .
According to legend, during the Shun Di period, Peng Zu also studied the fairy tale Yin Shouzi, and then lived in seclusion in Wuyishan until he was over 800 years old. Some people say in more detail that it is 767 years old.
Peng Zu is a symbol and representative of people who live a long life. Even the sage Confucius and Taoist Zhuangzi and Ge Hong praised his longevity.
It has been said in Augmented Xianwen that there are also thousands of years old trees in the mountains, and it is difficult to meet centenarians in the world. So, as a mortal in Kannonji? Old Jinchi, why can you live to be 270 years old?
First of all, the roots of Jinchi are not ordinary people.
When you read The Journey to the West for the first time, you may think that the old man Jinchi is a layman, obsessed with a Buddhist dress.
However, if we are reasonable, we will know that this cassock of Tang Priest is definitely not simple: First, Guanyin Bodhisattva has talked about the magical power of cassock several times. Wearing this Buddhist costume can prevent you from sinking, falling into hell, suffering from malice and suffering from the disaster of tigers and wolves? But when sitting, there is worship from God; Every move, seven buddha is with him;
The second is one of the Dojo of Guanyin Bodhisattva in Kannonji. The old man Jinchi worked as a monk in the Bodhisattva Dojo for more than 200 years, and eventually became the elder of the large-scale Kannonji, which shows that he has something good.
Thirdly, he is good friends with three spirits who have been practicing for a long time, namely, Black Bear Spirit, Wolf and Snake, and the elders of Jinchi often give lectures to them.
When the Monkey King learned that Old Jinchi and the goblins had formed a small group, he smiled: That old Skinner died without regret! Strangely, he also lived to be 270 years old. I think the devil taught him some tricks and persuaded him, so he lived this life.
2. Elder Jinchi is cared for by Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Journey to the west original 17, Monkey makes a scene in the black wind mountain, and Guanyin subdues the bear monster? In this chapter, there is a detail worthy of attention.
When the black bear Jing took advantage of the chaos to rob the Tang Priest's cassock, instead of restraining himself, he invited the elders to rob it together? Buddhist costume convention? I specially sent an invitation to Kannonji.
The waiter can bow and begin to explain the old man's room in Jinchi: I am deeply grateful for my repeated kindness. It's no use going back to Lu at night, but I'm afraid it's just as well. I got a Buddhist dress when I was born. If you want to be elegant, please spend. ?
Hui Lu? Refers to the name of Vulcan in folklore. When the ancients made their first night patrol, did they shout? Be careful with candles when the weather is dry? , but? When things are dry, beware of going back to Lu? .
The Three Heroes of the South acted as heroes and returned to Lu to perform their magic. ? Later, people often? Hui Lu? Extended to fire.
Can you see what the black bear said in the letter? The difficulty of returning to Lu? Kannonji was destroyed by fire.
The Buddhist scripture "Hokkekyo" says: If all beings are distressed, they will be named with one heart, and the bodhisattva will be relieved when she sees its voice, so she can be named Guanyin.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, one of the four great Buddhists, is the most famous one. Because of its infinite magic and hundreds of millions of incarnations, it is almost unknown among the people.
Since the old man in Jinchi has served Guanyin Bodhisattva, he will naturally be blessed by Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Li Shimin of Emperor Taizong lived in hell, and Judge Cui Yu added 20 years to his life with a pen. Kou Hong, a great man from the Mausoleum County of Tianzhu Tongtai Prefecture, was framed by traitors. The Monkey King came to the underworld to find the Earth Treasure Bodhisattva and the Ten Temple Yan Jun.. Because of his kindness, he was not only sent back to the world of Yang, but also increased the life span of 12 years.
Think about it. In the hands of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Yang Liuzhi can heal the ginseng fruit tree of Zhenyuan Daxian, teach the elders of Jinchi the method of keeping in good health, live a 270-year-old health-keeping technique, or prolong life. It is also possible.
3. Elder Jinchi took Dan medicine to prolong life.
When the Monkey King made a scene in hell, he extended the life span of monkeys and grandchildren by tearing up the book of life and death.
I learned Taoism from Master Bodhi, and Bodhi also talked about it. Tao? Word gate 360 side door, side door has positive results.
Among them,? Surgery? Word gate? Flow? Words,? Quiet? Word gate? Moving? Spells such as the word gate can ward off evil spirits and prolong life, but they cannot live forever.
The Monkey King, who was bent on pursuing immortality, gave up learning these spells.
During the Journey to the West, the Monkey King asked other monks in Kannonji: Is your master also a demon?
Others quickly replied: Sir, my master is a person. Because the black king is a human being, he often comes to the temple to give lectures to him, and also teaches my master some techniques to cultivate the spirit and convince him, so he is a friend.
These plots, from the side, are understood by Lao Jinchi? Quiet? Menzi's health-preserving spells and life-prolonging pills are one of the reasons why he can live to be 270 years old.
In a word, the old man in Jinchi should also be regarded as an enlightened monk. If he hadn't been insatiable, started a fire, burned Kannonji and lost the protection of Guanyin Bodhisattva, maybe his practice would be deeper and his age would be longer.
