Dramas, legends, storytelling, storybooks... all kinds of propaganda tools are used together:

Sanzang Buddha sacrificed himself to save the people;

Sanzang Buddhist sons trek across mountains and rivers to subdue demons;

Sanzang Buddha preached the Mahayana to save all living beings;

……

One story after another was widely circulated in the world, but in just a few months, the entire Xiniu Hezhou and Nanzhanbuzhou became household names.

Many living beings who didn't know about Buddhism, or didn't understand it, or didn't take it seriously, gradually became curious about Buddhism and developed a good impression of it because of the series of stories about the Buddha's self-sacrifice in Sanzang.

Some living beings who long for longevity or have ghosts in their hearts are even more interested in the Mahayana Buddhism of Buddhism.

It's not too late, Fomen's next actions began to be more frequent.

Chapter 52 The Nine Generations of Tripitaka

The tenth year since the Buddha came to the west, sacrificed himself, and saved the people from the fire and water.

A baby with no father and no mother came to Nanzhan Buzhou, and was brought back by the abbot of a Buddhist temple in a barren mountain. He was admitted to Buddhism, taught Buddhist scriptures, and taught him carefully.

Ten years later, a little white-faced monk named Sanzang, wearing a shabby robe, left the ancient temple and walked out of the mountain.

Step on the mountains and rivers, walk south to look at the land, teach the Buddhadharma to the world, practice it personally, and lead people to be good.

Teach all living beings to respect the old and love the young, and cultivate blessings in the afterlife.

To persuade living beings to be merciful and to walk the way of doing good.

Going deeper into the mountains and forests, he fed wild beasts and monsters with his body many times, and with great compassion and fearlessness, he cured their evil thoughts and relieved the suffering of the people.

He also preached the essence of Buddhism in various places, ate and slept in the open air, and smiled at the world.

The gangster puts a knife on his neck without fear, and is indifferent to wealth and wealth in front of his eyes.

Walk around and build great virtues.

There are so many different things.

After tossing and turning in the world for a hundred years, finally, when he was very old, he walked to a river where flood dragons were raging, stood in front of the temple built by the human race for the first generation of Buddha Sanzang, pointed at the clay Buddha statue, and shouted "The world The monks are all Sanzang, willing to go to hell to save sentient beings", fearless, compassionate, and jump into the river with a smile.

Suppress the evil dragon with his body.

Since then, the dragon has disappeared, and the people on both sides of the river can live in peace and recuperate.

And new stories about Master Sanzang also spread rapidly in Nanzhan Buzhou at the speed of the wind.

In particular, the great virtues of Buddhism he preached and the words that "all the monks in the world are Tripitaka" when he pointed to the Buddhist Temple before his death, are even more popular all over the world.

Even the Heavenly Court expressly prohibits rewarding the merits of this mage, and allows mortals to build temples and shrines for him and enjoy incense and offerings.

At that time, the name of Buddhism resounded in most of Nanzhan Buzhou, which was a remote place. People who didn't often deal with the outside world knew the existence of Buddhism.

Thirty years later, with the help of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he entered the six realms of reincarnation.

A baby who was tragically abandoned at birth was born in the wilderness. He thought he would be killed by ferocious wild animals in the mountains. Unexpectedly, the baby not only survived, but was also raised by a tigress who had just given birth.

This scene made the villagers who found it by accident turn pale with shock. They lamented that the baby was extraordinary, and that it was the reincarnation of a great virtue who took over the village and was raised by the villagers together.

Babies who grew up eating hundreds of meals are sincere and kind-hearted, hardworking and brave, and are very popular with the villagers.

Later, a natural disaster occurred, and the villagers had no harvest. The grown-up baby sold himself to the landlord in exchange for the rations for the villagers to survive.

After several twists and turns, by chance, I entered a local temple.

Shaved hair to go home and concentrate on enlightening Buddhism.

Ten years later, the young monk named Sanzang has become the leading eminent monk in the local area. Whether it is the understanding of Buddhist scriptures or the practice of Buddhism, it is far beyond the reach of others.

He rescued the captured carp from the fishermen without paying any money, but tasted the herbs himself, painstakingly researched and produced high-yield food crops, exchanged with the fishermen and hunters, and successfully persuaded them to do less killing.

In his life, he donated clothes and alms, did good deeds and accumulated virtue, and whenever there was a natural disaster, he would always personally help the victims.

In this era of constant wars, he supported 10 people with a single temple and a barren hill by himself.

In the end, he even came to the battlefield in person, at the cost of his own life, to put an end to the troubled times of disputes.

Save all the people in dire straits.

It made the name of Sanzang Dharma and Buddhism more popular in the hearts of the people, and also left a strong stroke in the history of the human race in Nanzhan Buzhou.

Many people in power have a good impression of Buddhism. I don’t know who mentioned the second generation Sanzang’s statement before his death that “all Buddhism is Sanzang”, which made countless people empathize with this, and made a deep impression on Buddhism.

I feel that Buddhism often produces great virtues.

Fifty years later, another baby appeared at the gate of a Buddhist temple, and was adopted by the abbot of the temple. He was adopted as a personal disciple and taught carefully.

To the surprise of the abbot of the temple, the baby's understanding of the Dharma was unique, and soon surpassed his own. After studying the Dharma, his Buddha's heart was exquisite and clear, and his cultivation of Dharma was increasing day by day.

And because it is a big temple, there are usually many dignitaries and dignitaries. When the baby grows up, it is named Sanzang.

Known locally as prestige.

What's even more rare is that he also wrote good calligraphy and poems, which spread and caused a sensation and pursuit among scholars.

Whether it is the upper class nobles or the lower class commoners, they are all willing to deal with this mage.

Some people even compared him with the previous Tripitaka masters.

Later, the country where he was located and the countries around him were plagued by plague, resulting in countless deaths and injuries, and the loss of life.

Master Sanzang couldn't bear it, and prayed to God, his kind heart moved the world, and asked for a panacea to save millions of people.

Later, another flood ravaged the earth, and the entire area of ​​millions of miles became a vast country. In order to calm the flood, Master Sanzang used his body to suppress the sea and turned it into a stone statue reaching the sky, suppressing the flood, and finally the flood subsided.

For this reason, the name of Buddhist Tripitaka has become more and more famous in Nanzhan Buzhou, with a large number of believers.

The fifth generation, a great virtuous monk named Sanzang, did good deeds all his life. In the end, in order to eliminate the plague of locusts, he fed locust demons with his body.

And Buddhism also has more and more ordinary disciples who no longer stick to the temples, and start to travel south to Zhanbuzhou, learn the way of the Tripitaka, practice the trip of the Tripitaka, help the people with compassion, and help the world.

In the sixth, seventh, and eighth generations, the Sanzang Dharma Masters all appeared. With a fearless attitude and a heart of great compassion, they practiced the Dharma and did Buddhist deeds, leaving various legends in the human race.

It makes the noble image of Buddhism clearer and has a wider audience among the human race.

Until the ninth generation, this generation of Tripitaka masters was different from the previous ones. They paid attention to teaching and were good at eloquence.
