Xian Zongyuan, Chu and Youxue returned to Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, just broke, and planned to live in Tianzhu Temple. Walking to the west side of Gushan Temple, he was too hungry to walk any further. He looked at the flowing water of the West Lake and burst into tears. He sang it several times.
At this time, a Brahma monk sat by the lake, looking at the empty view, and said with a smile, "Master Scholar, are you satisfied with your trip?" 」
Kongjian said, "The taste of traveling is satisfying. However, I am just a scholar, but you call me a "mage". Isn't that ridiculous? 」
Brahma said, "Don't you remember telling Hokkekyo at Tongde Temple in Luoyang? 」
Kongjian said in confusion, "I have been forty-five years old since I was born." I have been wandering between Wu Chu all day, and I have never been to Jingkou, let alone Luoyang. " 」
The monk said, "I'm afraid you'll be burned by hunger and fire, and you won't remember the past." After that, he took out a fist-sized jujube from the cloth bag and handed it to Kong Jian, saying, "This is a specialty of our country. A wise man can know the past and the future by eating it, and a wise man can also know the past. " 」
Kongjian was so hungry that he got angry. He quickly took the jujube and ate it with his mouth open. After eating, I took a few more sips of spring water. I saw him suddenly stretch, * * *, and fell asleep on the stone on the side of the road. For an instant, it suddenly dawned on him, as if just yesterday, he was lecturing at Tongde Temple.
After waking up, Kongjian sobbed and asked the Brahma, "Where is the real monk now? 」
"He didn't specialize in, went to Sichuan as a monk. I've lost touch with you now. 」
"God's adult now in where? 」
"Before the desire is not full, it is still in practice. 」
"So, enlightenment mage now in where? 」
"Do you remember the big wish he made when he was in the foreplay of Xiangshan stone statue? At that time, he said:' If you don't prove the supreme Bodhi, you will be a noble minister. I recently heard that he was appointed as a general. At that time, the five of us met by chance, and only I was freed. Only you became a hungry and cold scribe. 」
Kongjian cried and said, "I have only eaten one meal every day for more than forty years, and I have worn the same coarse blouse every day for more than thirty years." Vulgar things, get rid of the roots. I didn't expect to be so hungry and cold before the practice was over! 」
Brahma said: "At that time, heresy was widely spread in Leo, which puzzled people who studied astronomical phenomena. It is impossible to make your voice rich and clear. When the body bends, the shadow must bend, which is exactly what goes around comes around. 」
"So, what now?" Jian empty asked morosely.
"I can't do anything about this life. Things in the afterlife can sober you up. As Brahma spoke, he took out a glittering mirror from his bag and said to Kongjian, "Please look at the mirror if you want to know the difference between nobility and inferiority, the short practice, the rise and fall of Buddhism and the rise and fall of my Tao. 」
Kongjian took the mirror, looked at it for a long time, and then handed it to Brahma and said, "I already know everything about retribution, prosperity and decline." 」
Brahma put the mirror in the cloth bag and walked side by side with Kongjian. After a dozen steps, Brahma suddenly disappeared.
That night, Kongjian stayed in Lingyin Temple for one night, where he shaved his hair, became a monk and got an anklet. Later, when I traveled to famous mountains, the higher the pain.
In the first year of Daiwa, Wenzong swam to Luoyang in the air and met Liu Kun, a native of Hedong, at Tianzhu Temple in Longmen. He personally told the story of his meeting with Brahma. After listening to this story, Liu Kun felt very unusual and strange.
Kongjian added: "I am 77 years old and have been a monk for 32 years. In the future, begging in a bowl can live for nine years. Isn't Buddhism going to decline after my death 」
Liu Kun tried to find out, but he didn't answer a word. I just asked for a pen and inkstone, wrote a few lines on the north wall of the Tibetan Scripture Building, turned around and left.
His prediction is: "Ganges sand will flourish, rabbits will set it and dogs will take it." Cows and tigers must cross their horns, and precious sandalwood will not extinguish their light. " "Set" refers to the net.
The prophecy fulfilled the demise of Buddhism in Huichang period. At that time, Wuzong ordered monks and nuns to return to the secular world, with a total of more than 207,000 people and more than 47,000 temples demolished. Therefore, it is said that "one sand promotes the decline of Ganges sand." 」
