In Yumen Guancheng, we were blocked. Rosh and I, as well as tens of thousands of entertainers, are behind the big army. No one knows what happened before except me. On the same day, we camped out of Yumen Guancheng as per the order, and it was another ten days.
Fu Jian's Liangzhou thorn Shi Liangxi refused to let Lu Guang enter the Yumen Pass, blaming Lu Guang for not following the order and returning the teacher without permission. In fact, Lu Guang came back from the Fu Jian Jian edict, but Liang Xi certainly wanted to seize Fu Jian's independence at the time of the crisis, so he found an unjustifiable crime against Lu Guang. Liang Xi sent his son Liang Yin and his general Yao Hao to lead 50,000 people to stop Lu Guang.
"What will happen?" We hugged and whispered in the camp, and I rested comfortably on his arm.
"Although Lu Guang is not a good person, he is still very good at fighting, not to mention that he still has a powerful Du Jin trial situation." Then he arched into his arms and smelled his unique sandalwood fragrance with satisfaction, " Liang Xiwen is more than elegant and has insufficient machine skills to follow suit. Du Jin will persuade Lv Guang to hurry up and take advantage of their irregularities. Du Jin even protects him with his head. If he can't win, he will die."
We can also hear the fighting sound from the front behind. One day later, if there were really good news, Du Jin won. A few days later, Liang Yin, who didn't give up, came again and was killed by Du Jin. Liang Yin spurred hundreds of people to flee east, was chased by Du Jin, and returned home. Du Jin's calm command in that incident, as well as Liang Yin's two defeats this time, the most meritorious, the army chanted his good name everywhere. Alas, I am sentimental, Du Jin is actually more mental than Lu Guang. Unfortunately, Master Gong Gaozheng was eventually jealous of Lu Guang, and he would lose his life a few years later.
Iroshi's character cannot be kept behind at this time. So we have been very busy these past few days. Rosh has gone overboard for the war dead and healed the wounded. And I became Roche's assistant. My poor modern hygiene knowledge came into play. At least the chances of the wounded getting infected in such a hot summer have decreased than before.
"One day, Buddha Shakyamuni led his disciples out and saw a pile of dry bones on the side of the road. The Buddha gave a big gift to the dry bones. The disciple was puzzled. The Buddha said:'This pile of dry bones, or the bones of my previous ancestors, Or the remains of many parents who have lived for many years. So worship. Ananda, you divide this pile of dry bones into two. If it is a male bone, it is white and heavy. If it is a female bone, it is black and light.'""
There were 40 or 50 soldiers crowded in our camp, and there was no place to sit, so we could only stand and listen to Roche. Rosh had been speaking to the injured people to comfort them, but the news spread quickly, and within a few days a soldier kept coming and begged Rosh to speak. In the end, it turned into our camp account every night to listen to Roche for half an hour.
Roche is good at explaining Buddhism by telling stories. After that tragic change in the canyon, his prestige in the army rose suddenly, and the soldiers respected Rosh as admirably. His followers quickly expanded in the army.
I put a glass of water in front of him. There were so many people crowded in the camp, the air was not circulating and it was very hot. But these soldiers were still intoxicated, and none of them withdrew. There were beads of sweat on Roche's face. Wipe a sweat and continue to say:
"The Venerable Ananda asked how the bones of men and women are of ordinary appearance after death. The Buddha said:'As a man, when he is alive, he often enters and exits the Galan Temple and listens to the scriptures, so the bones are white and heavy. Women are very affectionate and regard the birth of boys and girls as a natural responsibility. Every child has to rely on breast milk to feed the baby's life. The milk changes from blood to blood, and each child more white than the four Ducks in the mother's body Milk. So the mother is emaciated and thin, with black bones and light weight.'"
Some people are sobbing and crying: "Today I know that my mother is so kind."
He looked around at everyone, his eyes were compassionate, and slowly said: "More than breastfeeding, the mother has ten great virtues. First: giving birth to guarding grace. Second: giving birth to suffering. Third: giving birth to forgetting worry. Fourth: suffering Tu Ganen. Fifth: Wet grace when dry. Sixth: Nursing grace. Seventh: Unclean grace. Eighth: Remembrance grace. Ninth: Compassionate grace. Tenth: What pity Stun."
"But, how do all beings repay the grace of their parents?" He paused and shook his head quietly, sighing. "There are widowed orphans, alone in empty halls, and children are treated like guests; some people only care about their wives and concubines, but neglect their parents; Some people said goodbye to their father and mother and did not report the news, so they made their father and mother uneasy. Can you do this?"
Some people wept while covering their faces, some thumped their chests, and some people in the crowd shouted, "I am all sinners! I have never felt that my parents are so kind, and today I know the sin of filial piety. I only wish the Master to have mercy and instruct us how to repay our parents. Yep."
Roche nodded to me, and I handed him the prepared scripture.
"Roche preached today is "Buddha said parents' gratitude is very difficult to report." This scripture was just translated yesterday, and only this one. To repay the gratitude, you can write and recite this script for your parents, and confess your guilt. Supporting the three treasures for parents, fasting, and offering blessings. You are far from home, and filial piety is always the son of filial piety."
These days he discussed with me what he should explain. Most of the soldiers are illiterate, and they should explain the superficial truth. So he thought of this scripture that promoted filial piety, and spent a few nights translating it. Although this scripture is short, he also scrutinized me verbatim. When I finally wrote, I was very happy. This is the first work of a big translator. The words are beautiful but simple and easy to understand, and Wen Wenlang has a very rhythmic sense, which can already see his translation style in Changan in the future.
"Master, give me this scripture book first. I have read the private school for a few years and I know a few words. I will copy it back to the master after copying it."
It is Centurion Cheng Xiong. He was in his thirties. Although he grew up in five majors and three majors, he loved reading and was very religious. He often followed Rosh to ask questions.
Roche nodded and gave the results of our few nights of struggle to Cheng Xiong. He took it respectfully and was surrounded by people at once, asking him to make more copies. Today's lecture ends here. After everyone left, Rosh and I smiled at each other. Put a wet towel on him and wipe the sweat off his face.
He grabbed my hand and sighed slightly: "I don't know my parents, I can be well in the sky..."
Thinking of my in-laws, Kumoroyan and Jain, the past calendar is in front of me. With a sigh, he took his hand back and said: "They have done good all their lives and devote themselves to the Buddha. The Buddha is a compassionate person, and they will certainly accompany them in heaven. They must also be blessing us now..."
He looked back at me, nodded definitely, and smiled happily. Looking across the room, someone broke into the camp, and Rosh and I were startled and quickly separated. It turned out to be Cheng Xiong, and then he came back again, somehow.
He knelt down and kowtowed suddenly: "Master, these days have been taught by the Master, Cheng Xiong wholeheartedly wants to serve the Buddha, and ask the Master to be a disciple. Shave me."
Rosh shook his head: "You have a wife and a son, and the high hall is still in your house.
He knelt down to Roche's feet and begged: "Mage, the disciple is really a piety. He wants to abandon his wife and son, and only seeks to become a Buddha."
"Abandoning a wife and a child is not a way to become a Buddha. Being a son of man, being a husband, and being a father are all important tasks endowed by God. How can one be unrighteous and unfilial?" Rosh frowned, "Although your heart for the Buddha is good, but If you just want to become a Buddha, you don’t have to be a monk, you can practice at home."
He was puzzled and still refused to get up: "How to practice, please ask the mage for guidance."
Roche lifted him up and asked him: "The priests in the house receive the five precepts: no killing, no theft, no lewdness, no verbal abuse, and no drinking. Keep the five precepts and give blessings. Could you do it?"
"This..." He hesitated, looked up at Rosh, and filled his eyes with regret. "The disciples also have dozens of lives, killing man-made industries, and the disciples are conscious of their sins. From now on, the disciples will obey the orders of the master and keep the five precepts. Give more money and do a good job every day to get rid of it."
"There is a Buddha in my heart is the root." Rosh nodded. "I will give you five precepts, and be a housewife."
After the ordination, Cheng Xiong left with joy, this was Roche’s first layman in the army. When there were only two of us left, I asked Rosh: "He is a soldier, I am afraid it will be difficult to do without killing. If it is broken, it will be more severe than not being a layman."
Roche nodded and sighed: "He is virtuous if he has the heart to keep the ring and can take no human life when he is fighting against the enemy."
Cheng Xiong really transcribed several copies of "The Buddha Says Parents are Hard to Confess," and circulated them quickly in the army. People often take the scriptures to ask Rosh for advice, or ask me words I don’t know. Because of the simplicity and profound significance of this scripture, the military's filial piety of Xiang Shan was raised.
In the summer of 385 AD, it was so hot that there was no rain in two months. In August, the breath was so hot that Lu Guang's army killed Liang Xi's main force and entered the Yumen Pass smoothly.
"Why don't Qiang flute blame the willows, the spring breeze doesn't cross the Yumen Pass." This lonely, lonely Guan Guan standing in the high mountains, got its name because He Tianyu entered the Central Plains through this. The concept of the national boundary in ancient times is far less clear than modern times. The Yumen Pass is the boundary between the Western Region and the Central Plains in the usual sense. Entering the Yumen Pass, we set foot on the Central Plains.
"Weicheng is light in the rain, and the guest house is green and willow-colored. The king is advised to make a glass of wine and go out of Yangguan to the west."
Before entering the prosperous city in the west, Dunhuang, we must pass through Yangguan. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the Hexi Corridor "listed four counties, according to the two pass", the four counties are Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, the two pass is the Yumen pass and the Yang pass. The four counties as the four most important cities in the Hexi Corridor continued into the 21st century, and even the place names have been preserved for more than two thousand years.
The strategic strategic points that the military strategists must fight for-Yangguan and Yumenguan-were no longer Song's domain in the Song Dynasty. With the decline of the Silk Road on the land, the two barriers were gradually abandoned and finally buried in the sand. In the 21st century, there are only a few ruins of Fengshui, standing on the deserted Gobi. Anyone will read the poems of the bold frontiers of the Tang Dynasty in sorrow, relying on the years.
I entered Dunhuang with an almost worshipful heart and entered this holy place where everyone in the 21st century yearns. "Dun, Daye; Huang, Shengya." For modern people, Dunhuang means the splendid grotto murals of those thousand years. It is a great shame for the Tibetan scriptures looted by Stein and others. It is after reading Yu Qiuyu's Taoist The grief and indignation after the Tower.
My two eyes flooded the exquisite mural depicting Mogao Grottoes against Roche. Mogao Grottoes have not been excavated yet, which is the biggest regret of this Silk Road trip. I danced in the narrow carriage, my husband just listened to me with a smile and a gentle smile, and from time to time pulled my body upside down. When I was so happy, I also sang the theme song in "Great Dunhuang". Watching this series at the time, I loved this sad and tragic song.
Dunhuang's camel bells drifted with the wind, that was woke up in the previous life
Sanskrit in samsara, turning non-stop
I use the Buddha's Tripitaka to read your name and gently call our destiny
Broken grotto, thousands of years of humiliation, obscured the sunrise
Floating across the clouds, the worldly road
I will use the bodhisattva diagram to show you a dance that has never been in this life
Dunhuang's wind and sand flooded the bustling, how many people fluttered
A cup of tea in troubled times, drunk down
I use the mural of Feitian to describe your hair and my cheeks
I copied the Bodhisattva in Dunhuang and laughed the world with that Dharma
In my era, in another ten years, Dunhuang will have a major historical event. In 400 AD, the Chinese Han Li Hao reigned according to Dunhuang and established the Xiliang Kingdom. Dunhuang became the capital of the country for the first time in history. Li Hao is eager to cultivate his internal affairs, heeds less money, advocates Confucianism, and runs education. So during his ten years in the world, the chaotic Liangzhou area finally appeared a stable place. The Han people cling to each other. Dunhuang's culture was prosperous and was once the head of Liangzhou. Xiliang existed for 20 years, and later died in the northern Liang Kingdom of the Huns.
We arrived at Jiuquan at the end of August and stayed for eight days. One of Lu Guang’s happiest things is that his dead rival Liang Xi has been escorted. Liang Xi fled to Guzang, was by Wuwei Taishou Peng Ji, and begged to Lu Guang. Lu Guang killed Liang Xi and his son in Jiuquan. September is still hot and there is no sign of autumn. We sweated into the destination of this return trip: Liangzhou's most important city-Gu Zang.
Gu Zang is an important military town in the Hexi Corridor and the county government of Liangzhou. It was first built by the Huns. The Han, Qiang, and Huns lived in a multi-ethnic community. There were more than 200,000 residents in the city. During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, they were already large cities. Outside the city, there is snow melting Qilian Mountain, abundant water and grass, Fuyi in Hexi, and the geographical junction of agricultural and nomadic areas. Qianliang Zhang has been operating here for 60 years. Because the Zhang family was Han Chinese, and the Central Plains was in chaos, many Han talents and big households took refuge in Liangzhou. As a result, Gu Zang's culture is prosperous, the economy is prosperous, and the Han culture is dominant.
The carriage drove into the city gate, so I opened the curtain and looked out. Qianliang, the first generation of Qianliang, expanded Gu Zang and built four satellite cities outside the original city. Therefore, Gu Zang is much larger than the small country in the Western Region. Familiar Han-style buildings are coming, and I haven't seen such Xieshan-style houses with heavy eaves in a long time. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the center of the city is the Drum Tower and Bell Tower, a typical Han urban layout.
Although Zhang's later period was like that of almost all the sixteen kingdoms, the clan was chaotic. But it is much better than the later Zhao Shile Shihu in the Central Plains. Therefore, when Liangzhou was in Lu Guang's hands, he had not suffered much damage, enabling him to quickly establish a political power. Lu Guang, who can become one of the monarchs of the Sixteen Kingdoms, has a lot of luck.
Lü's Houliang surrendered to Hou Qin in 401 AD, and two years later, Nanliang Wang's bald-headed Pi Tan entered Guzang. Soon, Beiliang Wang Juqu Menxun conquered Gu Zang, taking Gu Zang as the capital until Bei Liang was destroyed by the Northern Wei Dynasty in 439 AD. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, there were more than 200,000 household registrations in the city of Zangzang. After that, the city of Zangzang was named Wuwei City.
Putting one hand on my shoulder and turning around, he was looking out. The staring eyes seemed to be pondering. I took his hand, and here is where we will live for seventeen years. Here, in the 21st century, there are no traces of the Lu Guang period. Here, a Kumorosh Temple will be built after 1,650 years to commemorate your 17 years of obscurity.

"Jin Shu Lu Guang Zhuan": Du Jin's admonishment said: "Liang Xi is more elegant, and lacks in machine learning. He can't accept what he says, and he is willing to worry about it. Hear the difference between the two. Spoken by words." Light follows. As far as Yumen, Liang Xi Chuan blamed Guang for returning the teacher without permission, sending Ziyin and Zhenwei Yao Hao, and don't drive Weihan to lead the crowd to 50,000, away from the light. Glory to the Liangzhou, blaming Xi for his sincerity, and counting his crimes of restraining the teacher. Send Peng Huang, Du Jin and Jiang Fei as strikers to strike Yin and defeat them. Yin Qing took hundreds of rides under his command, and Du Jin pursued it. So the four mountains and Hu Yi all came with money. Wuwei too guard Peng Jizhixi please drop. After entering Guangzang, he led Liangzhou assassination history and defended Qiang captain. He represented Dujin as a general of the auxiliary country, and Wu Wei was a guard.
"Buddha said that parents are very difficult to report the scriptures" is very simple and easy to understand, and the words are beautiful, with less than 4,000 words. Personally, I think it is the easiest to understand among the scriptures translated by Roche.
