Chapter 1501

Secondly, Aishwarya is the niece of Summit, and Summit is the current ruler in India. If the two get married, the relationship between the two countries will be eased like never before. In the past, the relationship between the two countries was still relatively tense, but now their marriage is a palliative.

Xiao Fei's marriage will also affect international relations.

Back then, Emperor Taizong of Tang also appointed Tang Seng as his younger brother, and Xiao Fei was secretly the guardian of China. It stands to reason that this position is no lower than Yudi. However, Xiao Fei's secret identity cannot be made public. In order to show that Xiao Fei is worthy of Aishwarya, Huaxia leaders are also making great efforts to improve Xiao Fei's social status.

The first is to vigorously publicize that he is the champion of the martial arts conference that year, and the second is to select him as one of the top ten outstanding youths in China, the touching person of the year.

In this way, Xiao Fei's status has been improved, and the two are considered to be well matched. This marriage is perfect.

But these things are done in secret, and only the top knows. Ordinary ordinary people don't know that the high-level is going to operate.

...

the capital. The sun is shining brightly.

Inside Yuantong Temple.

Thousands of monks and nuns have already sat around the huge Dharma Square. Originally, there were only dozens of monks in Yuantong Temple. However, the news that the Buddha was reincarnated to open an altar to preach has been spread to the Buddhist circle by them. Monks and nuns from all over the country came to inquire and listen to her.

There are monks from Mount Wutai, monks from Shaolin, monks from Mount Tiantai, monks from Mount Jiuhua, monks from Baima Temple, thirty-six Shaolin stick monks... There are also some nuns from nunneries, Jingxin Nunnery, Shuiyue Nunnery... almost Huaxia All the monks, nuns, all come to this great event.

Moreover, those who came were all prestigious abbots, eminent monks, nunnery masters, and the head of the Bodhidharma Academy. Those little monks and nuns who are not well-known and of low seniority are not eligible to participate.

After receiving the news, they immediately booked air tickets and flew to the capital. One of the reasons why they came here so actively was to promote Aishwarya as the reincarnation of Buddha. The appearance of Buddha statues all over the country is the main driving force. Buddha statues appear holy, which is too rare.

Therefore, this speech conference can be described as unprecedented. Its prosperity is almost no less than that of the Obon Festival.

It is said that Master Shuixin, the host of Jingxin Temple, was originally an ancient warrior or Xiao Fei's subordinate. But Buddhism is her belief, and belief must be more important than the leader.

The monks from Yuantong Temple sat at the front, firstly because they were the hosts of the conference. The second reason is that they are very knowledgeable, and almost all of them are master's students and doctoral students from prestigious universities across the country. To be knowledgeable means to study Buddhism more deeply than others, and to be respected by other monks.

In addition to the authentic monks, outside the Dharma Square, there are also several circles of social people. Not all believers will become monks and nuns, and they may be temporarily entangled in secular affairs and unable to become a monk. Of course, there are also media people and melon-eating people from all over the world. After all, such a grand Buddhist event has never been seen once in decades.

According to preliminary estimates, the number of people in the entire venue is no less than 100,000!

In the middle of the Dharma Square is a three-story high platform, about five meters high. After a while, Aishwarya will explain the Dharma to everyone there. There are three floors of the high platform, and each floor has thirty-six lotus petals, which add up to one hundred and eight petals. Born of lotus, the ninth-grade lotus platform will appear to be extraordinarily sacred to the people on it.

The lotus is a sacred object of Buddhism.

There is a desk on the lotus platform, covered with yellow cloth, on which are various Buddhist scriptures such as "Diamond Sutra" and "Surangama Sutra". treasures. There is another document, which seems to be Aishwarya's 'speech'.

There is also a microphone in the middle, surrounded by two tweeters. There were a lot of people coming to the scene, and the outer layer was far away. If the speakers were not used, it is estimated that many people would not be able to hear them.

And Aishwarya is still a girl, her voice is not as loud as a boy's.

Everything here is based on the monks of Yuantong Temple, who handle everything well.

Although nearly 100,000 people came to the scene, the scene was very quiet. This is a Dharma conference, not a vegetable market. Everyone must respect their beliefs and loud noises are prohibited.

In the eyes of all eyes, Aishwarya was dressed in white and stepped onto the altar. The clothes without a trace of dust made her look even more sacred and dusty. Beautiful face, exotic face. Standing on the lotus platform, it even gives people an illusion: she is a Bodhisattva!

Seeing the appearance of Aishwarya, the crowd who originally had a pilgrimage mentality became more devout. The scene is also quieter, almost a needle can be heard.

"Masters of the same way, this master's layman's name is Aishwarya." Jingming, the abbot of Yuantong Temple, stepped onto the altar and introduced to the monks below: "I was born in India, the country of Buddhism, and I started to worship Buddha at the age of five. There is in-depth study of Buddhism. As we all know, the Mahayana Buddhism in China has declined, and most of the precious classics have been lost, so we don’t understand Mahayana Buddhism. But Aishwarya knows the essence of it very well!"

"Last night, I talked with my master about Buddhism for a long time, and I have been impressed by her profound cultivation. In addition, the night before, the golden body of the Buddha in my temple appeared, and the instructions in the dreams of all the monks showed that the master is the reincarnation of the Buddha. Otherwise, how could she have such a profound understanding of Buddhism that has been lost for thousands of years?"

"Therefore, our monastery invited the guru to open an altar for everyone here, to save all living beings and benefit the world."

"Amitabha!" Immediately, the monks below put their hands together on their chests and chanted the Buddha's chant.

If it is a gathering of ordinary people, after the host introduces the 'leader', he will say: Let the leader speak next, and everyone applauds. But Jingming didn't say such words, and the people below didn't applaud either. After all, they are different from ordinary people. For another group of people, the etiquette is just chanting Buddha's name.

"Amitabha!" Aishwarya also put one hand on her chest and recited the Buddha's name in return. Her lips are as tender as peach blossom petals, and her palms are as white as white lotus root.

Without too many opening remarks, Aishwarya directly began to speak: "My Buddhism flourished for a while in the Zhenguan period of China. But today, two thousand years later, it has begun to decline again. Today's Chinese sentient beings are chasing each other. Fame and wealth, greed and lust, money first, lost the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature."

"Only the 11,114 volumes of my Buddha's Mahayana scriptures can save the people from the water and fire, ascend to the world of bliss, and return to truth, goodness and beauty."
