Chapter 548: Wu Zetian with a deep buddha
When Yang Jing saw these three tombs, he immediately realized why Yue Chengzi said on the inscription that some of the tombs had not been discovered yet.
Yang Jing estimated that it was not that Yuechengzi did not find these tombs, but that these tombs could not be opened at all. At the very least, in terms of the technology of that era, the fault was the long-term digging with manpower, otherwise it would really be impossible to solve these three broken dragon stones in a short period of time.
The broken dragon stone outside these three tombs is not as big as the movable broken dragon stone outside, but it is also two meters square and half a meter thick. In terms of weight alone, it is definitely more than 10,000 catties.
Even Yang Jing cannot open these three broken dragon stones without using the storage space.
blasted the door with a drug here, it was purely a mouse serving the cat as a bridesmaid and doing his own death!
But this discovery also made Yang Jing excited again. The broken dragon stone in the tomb was put down. What does that mean? Quite simply, it means that the funerary objects have been placed in the three tombs, otherwise the broken dragon stone will not be put down.
Yang Jing stood unceremoniously in front of one of the tombs and activated the storage space skill against the half-meter thick broken dragon stone in front of him. The next moment, this broken dragon stone weighing more than 10,000 jin suddenly It disappeared silently. A two-meter-square cavity appeared on the originally tightly-sealed rock wall, and the remaining part of the broken dragon stone that was originally stuck in the rock wall was suddenly missing a large piece in the middle. The support, and one after another fell out from the rock wall.
Yang Jing activated the storage space skill again, and put away the fallen stone bars. Suddenly, the door of the tomb seemed clean. It was as if there were no broken dragon stones at all.
After nodding in satisfaction, Yang Jing walked inward. Under the illumination of the light, a brilliant golden light rushed toward him, and he involuntarily squinted his eyes.
On the floor of a tomb of more than 20 square meters, there are all golden Buddha statues!
"My elder sister, sister, let's go!"
Even if Yang Jing had obtained a lot of gold in several treasures, but at this time, after seeing so many Buddha statues, he couldn't help but sigh.
There are more than one hundred Buddha statues in this tomb. They are of different sizes, and each Buddha statue has a different shape.
After pulling in the two battery lights, the whole tomb was immediately brightened up. After Yang Jing carefully counted these various Buddha statues of different sizes, he discovered that there were a total of 108 Buddha statues in this tomb.
The number one hundred and eight has a very important meaning in Buddhism.
Buddhist practice pays attention to six roots, six dusts, and six entrances. The six elements are "eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind"; the six objects are "color, sound, fragrance, taste, touch, and dharma"; and the six elements are the "feelings of the six objects of the six elements."
The sum of the six roots, the six dusts, and the six enters is eighteen, and the Buddhism pays attention to the three generations and the inversion. In this way, multiplying the eighteen by the three generations and then multiplying the inversion is exactly one hundred and eight.
Therefore, whether Buddhism is chanting the Buddha or ringing the bell, it has to be one hundred and eight times. Beings do not have six senses, six dusts, six entrances, and inversions, and they naturally become Buddhas!
Wu Zetian believed in Buddhism, and he believed very piously, so it is not surprising that there are 108 Buddha statues in his funeral.
In ancient China, there were two emperors that were particularly interesting. They were not well reflected in folklore, but they were not rated low in Buddhism. The first was Emperor Yang of Sui and the second was Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian is known as the first emperor of the ages, not only because she is the first and only female emperor in Chinese history, but also because she has a deep relationship with Buddhism.
According to legend, when the Buddha Shakyamuni was alive, one day he was a beggar. On the way, he met a girl who was playing with a group of children making sand on the road. The girl saw the Buddha leading his disciples coming in from a distance. She half-jokingly half-seriously took a stick of soil and sand from the ground with her hands, walked up to the Buddha, put the sand in the Buddha's bowl, and did not expect the Buddha to accept it. Gave her sand for support.
Sariputra, Buddha's great disciple, couldn't stand it, thinking that this girl had no reason, how could she use the sand to make jokes to the Buddha. When they were on the road, he couldn't help asking the Buddha, "Master, the girl just put the sand in your bowl, why did you accept it?" The Buddha smiled and said, "You don't know, this woman will be mature after thousands of years. If she wants to be king in Eastern Sinian, if she is not supported by her sandy soil, she will destroy Buddhism. In this way, let her plant this kind of good cause and condition, and when she becomes the emperor in the future, she will protect Buddhism and promote Buddhism. "
The girl who put sand in the bowl in the story is Wu Zetian's predecessor. After Wu Zetian became the emperor, he really played an indelible role in the promotion and promotion of Buddhism in China.
Wu Zetian's relationship with Buddhism is indeed very deep. She even became a nun twice in her life.
The first time was before the age of fourteen, and the second time was forced. To be sure, being a nun for the first time was related to her parents' beliefs. Wu Zetian’s mother, Mrs. Yang, was a strange woman from the Tang Dynasty. She was a descendant of Emperor Wen and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Her father was Prime Minister Yang Da of the Sui Dynasty, and her uncle was King Guan Yang Xiong. Both Emperor Wen and Emperor Sui Yang were both Buddhist loyal fathers and sons. The believer is influenced by the family, so Mrs. Yang believes in Buddhism. It was also logical that Mrs. Yang passed such a belief to Wu Zetian.
As for being a nun for the second time, I guess everyone in China knows why. After Wu Zetian entered the palace ~lightnovelpub.net~ became a talented man of Tang Taizong. After the death of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, according to the practice of the Tang Dynasty, she became a nun at the Ganye Temple in the capital.
Although it was forced to be a nun for the second time, the two experiences of being a nun made Wu Zetian and Buddhism an indissoluble bond.
And when Wu Zetian risked the world’s desperation and became the emperor as a female, she was even more inseparable from the support of Buddhism.
There were three theoretical systems in the Tang Dynasty that controlled people’s thoughts, namely Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. If Wu Zetian wanted to be emperor, he also had to choose from these three. Traditional Confucian classics did not allow women to participate in state affairs. It is written as above, "There is no morning for the rooster, and the morning for the rooster is the only source of the family." Another example is the above writing, "If the female generation surpasses the family, the family will die, and the woman who seizes the country will perish the country."
And Taoism has a deep relationship with the Li Tang royal family. The Tang royal family regarded Taoist Lao Zi as the ancestor, so the only ideological system Wu Zetian could choose was Buddhism.
Wu Zetian used Buddhism because Buddhism has three advantages to support Wu Zetian. 1. In the theory of equality of all beings, the distinction between men and women is not as strong as in Confucianism; 2. Buddhism cares about the human soul, so it is precisely the human mind that controls it; 3. Wu Zetian has a religious background as a nun. Similarly, Buddhism was squeezed by Taoism at the time, and it also needed to find a custodian among high-level political decision-makers. Therefore, Buddhism helped Wu Zetian become emperor, and Buddhism also found shelter.
Wu Zetian and Buddhism means mutual benefit and win-win!
Wu Zetian's connection with Buddhism made Buddhism recognize her as the incarnation of a Bodhisattva. For Wu Zetian, it means that she has found a powerful theoretical weapon that can not only help her establish her rule, but also help her to stabilize her rule.
