Legend of the Tang Dynasty: The monk Yuanguan was reincarnated after three years of seclusion.
"reincarnation" refers to reincarnation and reincarnation after coming to this world. Some people can even remember clearly what happened in previous lives. There are trained monks, and even people who know their metempsychosis clearly. In Ganze Ballad compiled by Jiao Yuan in the Tang Dynasty, there is an article Yuan Guan, which tells that at the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was a monk named Yuan Guan in Huilin Temple in Luoyang, who could farm and had a lot of food and cloth. Besides studying Buddhism, he is also proficient in music. At that time, people called him a rich monk, but he didn't know his origin. Ethan, a consulting doctor, was originally the son of an official family. During the Tianbao period, he ate, drank and danced all day. His father Li Yi was caught by thieves and soldiers while guarding the border. Ethan was forced to eat coarse grains and wear coarse clothes, settled down in Huilin Temple and donated all his belongings to the temple. The monks in the temple give him food every day, not to his servants, nor to let him know the news outside. He only became bosom friends with monk Yuan Guan. Two people often confide in each other, and can talk from morning till evening. At that time, people thought they were naive, muddleheaded and unreasonable together. So I often ridicule and laugh at them. Thirty years later, both of them are old. One day, two old people made an appointment to travel to Zhou Shu together, and went to Qingcheng and Emei to worship immortals and get medicine. Yuan Guan wants to swim across Chang 'an and go out from Gu Jie, while Ethan wants to swim across Jingzhou and go out from the Three Gorges. They argued endlessly about these two routes and failed to reach an agreement for half a year. Ethan said, "I have cut off worldly affairs. How can I pass through the capitals of the two dynasties?" "Yuan said," which way to go is not your own will, so we go out from the Three Gorges. "So they went to the Three Gorges from Jingjiang. When the ship reached Nanpu, it stopped at the foot of the mountain. They saw several women in gorgeous clothes carrying water jugs to fetch water from the river. Seeing their tears, Yuan Guan said, "I don't want to be here, just for fear of meeting these women!" Ethan asked in surprise, "We came out of this canyon and met many such women. Why do you only cry for these women? " Yuan Guan said, "One of them is a pregnant woman named Wang, where I will take care of myself in the afterlife. She hasn't had a baby for three years, just because I'm not dead. Today, since I met her, my life belongs to me. This is what Buddhism calls reincarnation. " Then he said to Ethan, "Please recite a spell for me so that I can be reborn soon. Your ship will stay for a few days and bury me at the foot of the mountain. Three days after the baby is born, you visit that house. If the baby smiles at you, it means that he knows you. Twelve years later, the Mid-Autumn Festival moonlit night, outside the Tianzhu Temple in Hangzhou, is the day to meet you. " Ethan regretted the trip at this moment and felt extremely sad for it. So I called that woman and told her to get ready to have a baby. The woman returned home happily. Soon, the woman's relatives arrived and offered dried fish and wine sacrifices to the river. Ethan, go give it to the red character. After a bath, I changed into new clothes. That night, Yuan Guan died and the pregnant woman gave birth to the baby. Ethan went to see the newborn baby for three days. Babies can recognize people, so he smiles at Ethan. Ethan told the Wangs in detail with tears. So the Wangs took out a large sum of money to bury Yuan Guan. The next day, Ethan boarded the boat and returned to Huilin Temple. He didn't know it was destiny takes a hand until he consulted a fortune teller. In the autumn and August of the twelfth year, Ethan went directly to Hangzhou and dated in Yuanguan. On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, near Tianzhu Temple in Chuqing, Shan Yu, there was a full moon in the sky. He doesn't know where to look for a round scenery. Suddenly, he saw a shepherd boy singing Zhuzhici on the bank of Ge Hongchuan, riding on a cow's back and knocking on the horn, wearing two steamed buns and a short coat. Soon I arrived at Tianzhu Temple, which turned out to be a round view. Ethan paid a visit and said, "Look at the health of the old man?" The shepherd boy said to Ethan, "You are a man of your word! Different from your path, be careful not to get close to each other. I hope I can practice hard and we will meet again soon. " Ethan couldn't talk to Yuanyuan about his past friendship, so he couldn't help looking at Yuanyuan with tears. Yuan Guan sang Zhuzhi Ci again and walked forward step by step. The mountains are long and the waters are far away, and you can still hear songs. The song is deep and rhythmic, and I don't know what to sing. When I first arrived at the temple, I sang: "The old spirit is on the Sansheng stone, not to mention enjoying the moon and singing the wind. I am ashamed of my lover's travel, although this body will last forever." When I was leaving, I sang in front of the temple: "There are so many things behind me that I want to say goodbye, for fear that my heart will break." Wuyue traveled all over the mountains and rivers, but returned to Qutang in the smoke. "Three years later, Ethan became a remonstrance doctor and died a year later as an official.
