In the southeast of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there is a park, the Dacien Temple Ruins Park. The park is full of trees, flowers and grasses, and mountain and stone sculptures, all presenting "Zen" enlightenment. In the early winter, it is quiet, without a lot of hustle and bustle.
Da Ci'en Temple is Gaozong of Tang Dynasty was built by his mother, the eldest grandson, queen. The ancient architecture of the temple is basically the former temple and the rear pagoda, and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was presided over by Xuanzang. After
temple built, Emperor Ciming "Great Ci'en Temple" Tang Xuanzang was the first host. Xuanzang translated Buddhist scriptures here for ten years.
Today I want to talk about the experience of Tang Xuanzang,Many well-known stories are actually made up through Journey to the West.
Tang Xuanzang is a famous translator, explorer and master of Buddhism . He is proficient in "Jing Zang", "Law Zang" and "On Zang", some people call his Tang San Zang .
His family are all Buddhists, influenced by his father and elder brother, he was ordained at the age of 13 and became a monk. Because of his talents and intelligence, he likes to study sutras, and at the age of 15, he can not only recite " " but also explain.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, he and his brother came to Sichuan to study Buddhist scriptures and studied with the masters at Konghui Temple. The latter went to Jingzhou and spent half a year in the Tennoji Temple to exchange and study. Later, he went to Henan, Hebei, and Shandong to visit eminent monks, and continued to study and seek Buddhist ancestry.
Finally came to the "Holy Land" of Buddhism Chang'an to study Tianzhu Chinese and prepare to study abroad.
Xuanzang applied to go abroad for the first time. The Turkic people in charge of the west did not pass. In August 627, with two entourages, he followed the merchant on the westbound road. After passing Yumen Pass, the entourage left, unwilling to continue westward. After a year, arrived in Tianzhu in the summer of 629.
In Tianzhu, he visited eminent monks and explored Buddhist monuments, and saw a bodhi tree 5 feet high. The founder of Buddhism Shakyamuni practiced under this tree and reached what the Buddhist scriptures say The West Tianling Mountain. These investigations and studies gave Tang Xuanzang a deeper understanding of Buddhist scriptures. After
, I met the hundred-year-old Buddhist master Jie Xian Venerable at Landa Temple in , Magadha, . This temple has a history of more than 700 years and has nearly 10,000 monks. It is the highest school in Tianzhu, India. The master reopened the altar and spent 15 months telling the most difficult " yoga sutra " in Buddhism.Xuanzang spent 5 years studying all the Tibetan scriptures here.
Six years later, Xuanzang went to more than 100 countries in South India. Later, he returned to Landa Temple and told about " Mahayana Sutra "
After Xuanzang's hard work, he became an authority on Buddhism in India. In 15 years, he returned to Chang'an with 650 books via the Western Regions. The Prime Minister of the Taizong School Fang Xuanling greeted him at Suzaku Avenue .
Xuanzang translated Buddhist scriptures in many places, such as palaces, temples, Ci'en Temple , Hongfu Temple, Yuhua Temple . Also went to Luoyang to translate.
Xuanzang spent 19 years translating 1335 volumes of Buddhist scriptures with more than 13 million words.
In February 664 AD, the greatest traveler and translator of the Tang Dynasty passed away in Yuhua Temple. (Today Tongchuan Yuhua Palace). According to his wishes, he was buried in burlap, wrapped in sackcloth, and the emperor's robes were placed on the statue at the back. Buried in Yunjing Temple in Chanhe, southeast of Chang'an. It was recorded that it moved to Xingjiao Temple .
A Chang'an city , how much history is passed down.
Today's Dacien Temple Ruins Park has become a place for citizens to relax and nostalgia. The same person has different feelings.
