[038], Anchan Huasheng Temple
Treatment of blindness in eyes is very troublesome. Even in the 21st century with the development of science, blindness in eyes is not so easy to cure. It depends on whether it is true blindness or false blindness. If it is true blindness, it may be cured by gods.
Tang Sen felt that grandma's eyes were blinded by crying, not damaged or broken eye tissue caused by external forces, so it should be pseudo-blindness. Maybe it was because of crying too much, which caused some eye disease, which suppressed the visual nerves and led to blindness. If this was the case, it would be fine. Maybe there would be no medicine. As long as grandma is healthy in body and mind, and has good eye hygiene and health care, it will slowly recover after a period of time. However, this is just a possibility. Tang Sen still has to pay attention to finding medicinal materials and prescriptions for grandma to treat eye diseases.
However, this matter cannot be found by searching. After searching for a while, Tang Sen had no big gains, so he started to do his own thing again. In order to get the enlightenment of Guanyin, Tang Sen had to become a monk. Even if he became a monk and practiced the Buddha of Joy, he had to become a monk first. This was not a solution.
Chinese people like to talk about their qualifications in everything they do. They are still dragging them down and they have affected their qualifications in Buddhism. Moreover, the task of "Guanyin Enlightenment" has been completed. If they dragging them down and still linger in the secular world, when Guanyin Bodhisattva comes to inspect him in the future, he will definitely leave after seeing that he is still full of three thousand love threads. This is an unexpected situation!
So Tang Sen felt that he was shaving the three thousand love threads on his head early, but it was still quite cool to shave his head and wear a hat anyway.
After making up his mind, Tang Sen explained the situation to Emperor Tang. After receiving the permission of Emperor Taizong, Tang Sen became a monk at Huasheng Temple in Chang'an. However, Tang Sen was grateful to Master Faming's master and apprenticeship of Jinshan Temple in Jiangzhou, so he rushed to Jiangzhou and asked Master Faming to slaughter him and gave him the Dharma name "Xuanzang". Only then did Tang Sen bid farewell to Master Faming and stay in Huasheng Temple forever. After all, Huasheng Temple is a relatively important place, and Tang Sen had to stay here for a permanent residence to prepare for the "Water and Land Conference" that I don't know if it will come in the future.
Huasheng Temple is the largest Buddhist temple in the Tang Dynasty. It is located in the capital and naturally has high geographical and policy preferential conditions, which has created the status of Huasheng Temple as the largest Buddhist temple in the Tang Dynasty. Tang Sen entered Huasheng Temple as the "Great Master of the Kingdom", so Huasheng Temple specially named him the honorary host, with a reputation as the abbot and presidency, supervising all things in Huasheng Temple - Tang Sen was originally supervising Buddhist affairs across the country, and of course he had to manage this mere Huasheng Temple - but this still made Tang Sen feel a little embarrassed, and he felt a little occupied by the magpie's nest. He just came here to play a supporting role, but who knew it would take the position of the protagonist without realizing it.
All the monks from Huasheng Temple have heard of the deeds of this new top scholar. They know that he is not only very smart, knowledgeable, but also compassionate and helps the world. The refusal to become an official, Xiaoxiang disaster relief, Jiangzhou's evil removal and other deeds have made the monks very interested in this new top scholar monk.
However, the only ones who are interested are those little monks, while some middle and high-level elders disagree. They only think that Tang Sen is a celebrity around the emperor and a "great master of the country". Therefore, the monks in Huasheng Temple respect him very much. However, these middle and high-level elders are a little disregarded by Tang Sen. They thought that such a little kid, who is less than 20 years old, can his Buddhist cultivation be high? He can even become a famous host!
Of course, the only ones who are dissatisfied with are the middle and high-level elders who are not high or low. As for the real masters, abbots and monks like the presidency, they have extremely peaceful mentality and have cultivated into a tolerant Buddha heart.
Tang Sen is a relatively sensitive person, so he laughed at the slight disdain and even hostility from the middle and high-level monks. He didn't need to be serious with these monks. He couldn't stay here for long, at most one year, not to mention that he didn't really live in Huasheng Temple during this year.
However, even if they didn't really compete with the middle and high-level elders, they always looked disdainful. Tang Sen was still a little unhappy. So Tang Sen used the "Buddha Classic Debate Conference" organized by Huasheng Temple once a month to quote scriptures, with sharp words and special arguments, which made the elders speechless. The elders then looked at Tang Sen with admiration. It turned out that this kid had real skills! From then on, these elders saw that Tang Sen was no longer the kind of contempt and disdain hidden in respect, but became real admiration. Perhaps, they also realized that this young Buddhist master was not a thing in the pool, and he was not funny?!
After Tang Sen's interpersonal relationships were handled, Tang Sen would use the resources in Huasheng Temple to treat his grandmother's illness. Tang Sen could freely go anywhere in Huasheng Temple, so Tang Sen could go to the most protected Sutra Library if he wanted.
When he came to the Sutra Library, the disciples guarding the pavilion respectfully bowed to Tang Sen. Tang Sen smiled and replied, then entered the Sutra Library, found the medical bookshelf, and looked through it. It is said that the books in the Sutra Library are generally scriptures, but the Sutra Library in Huasheng Temple is very large. In addition to most scripture books, there are also a large number of Buddhist medical classics, which is in line with the six major purpose of Buddhism's six major purpose of "rebirth, assisting chanting, relieving resentment, relieving resentment, enlightening wisdom, and curing diseases."
However, Tang Sen read for a long time but still couldn't find any books on eye disease treatment. Instead, he enriched his experience in treating wind, colds and other diseases. After coming out of the Sutra Library, Tang Sen thought about it and went straight to Master Abbot.
The abbot of Huasheng Temple is a respected and knowledgeable monk. He recites more sutras than Tang Sen said, and is far beyond the reach of Tang Sen. In addition to his profound Buddhist practice, the abbot of Huasheng Temple is also a saint of Xinglin. He often treats diseases regularly with pilgrims from Huasheng Temple and pilgrims from all over the country from time to time. Thinking about the disease that the patients who came from thousands of miles must be a chronic disease that is not easy to cure. Such a chronic disease is also cured by medicine. This shows how skillful the abbot of the medical skills are.
Tang Sen found Master Abbot and explained his grandmother's blindness. He begged Master Abbot to help him. Master Abbot is a compassionate monk who is sick and cured when he is in trouble. He immediately agreed to Tang Sen's request and came to Chen Mansion. Master Abbot first asked about Tang Sen's grandmother's condition, then checked her eyes, and then took her pulse, and then had a diagnosis.
"The old man is not seriously injured. His eyes are temporarily blind because he cried too much. In addition, the liver fire in his body has been very strong, so his eyes cannot recover. In fact, such eye diseases are not difficult to treat. The difficult thing is to find the right symptoms. As long as the right medicine is given, the medicine can be cured." As he said, the abbot wrote on the prepared paper and said, "I prescribe a prescription for him to clear the liver and improve the eyesight, and then prescribe an external prescription for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. He will be able to recover from his eyesight within one month. He will continue to take the medicine for three months."
When grandma was a little excited when she heard that her eyes had been blind for many years, she thanked the abbot repeatedly. Chen Guangrui and Tang Sen were also very grateful. The abbot just smiled and nodded, and then returned to Huasheng Temple together with Tang Sen.
After doing all this, Tang Sen felt much more relaxed. Although these were just nominal relatives, when they lived well, Tang Sen had no worries, so he could not meditate and meditate every day and worry about their lives. At this point, Tang Sen could finally be a "monk" quietly.
