What is the West Heaven in the Tang monk Xitian scriptures?

India. Xitian is a fictitious word, because India is in the west of the Tang Dynasty, Tang Seng went west, so it was named Xitian, India is the birthplace of Buddhism, and Tang Seng is to learn Buddhism.

Guanyin Bodhisattva became a Wuchao Zen master, went to the Tang Dynasty to sell a robe and tin staff, God boasted how the Mahayana Buddhism was magical, Tang Seng was a person who had never seen the world, believed it was true, so he decided to learn the scriptures; The scriptures brought back to the Tang Dynasty by the Tang monks and apprentices are actually not very valuable fakes (the real thing is actually a wordless empty book, and the monk went down the mountain to silently repeat it, and then he got three liters and three buckets to be scattered**)!

Journey. The reason why the Tang monk went to the west to learn the scriptures:

1. On the emperor's side: he has been harassed by unjust souls and needs Mahayana Buddhist scriptures to purify unjust souls.

2. On the Buddha's side: The tenth tribulation of the golden cicada is over, and it is time to come back.

3. Personal: Master Xuanzang.

I also have this great wish, and this is also the real reason of history.

4. Guanyin: Jiaocha, by the way, originally belonged to Taoism.

A few people dug it up: Monkey King.

India, in the Tang Dynasty, India was called Tianzhu, which was the origin of Buddhism. And Leiyin Temple should be the Rota Temple where Xuanzang studied Buddhism.

In fact, it is today's India, which was also known as Tianzhu during the Tang Dynasty.

In the twelfth episode of "Journey to the West", "Xuanzang Bingcheng Builds a Conference, Guanyin Manifests and Turns into a Golden Cicada", there is Guanyin who dots the Tang monk and says: The Tang Dynasty is at the ceremony, and there is a wonderful text in the West. The journey is 108,000 miles, and the Mahayana is diligent.

This scripture returns to the kingdom and can surpass the ghosts. If there are those who are willing to go, seek the golden body of righteousness. Therefore, Xuanzang asked the emperor for his life and traveled west to learn scriptures.

In order to obtain the scriptures, return to the Tang Dynasty, preach Buddhism, purify all sentient beings, let the world stop killing, let time no longer suffer, and make people good, so they have traveled thousands of miles to learn the scriptures, and now people should also have this spirit, not only kidnapped by work, but also sublimate themselves from the spirit.

Of course, it is to purify all sentient beings and educate sentient beings to be free from suffering and happiness, only the true scriptures of the West Heaven can do it, so Tang Seng wants to go to the West Heaven to learn the scriptures, and Tang Seng is originally the reincarnation of the golden cicada and will return to the West Heaven sooner or later, and the study of the scriptures is just to let him suffer the process, let him experience the suffering of the world, and it is good to be a Buddha.

This is a kind of belief, in order to realize the dream in his heart of relieving the suffering of the world, to retrieve the true scriptures as soon as possible, and it is the same reason that we modern people are fighting for the cause of socialism.

There are several reasons for this:

1. On the emperor's side: he has been harassed by unjust souls and needs Mahayana Buddhist scriptures to purify unjust souls.

2. On the Buddha's side: The tenth tribulation of the golden cicada is over, and it is time to come back.

3. Personal: Master Xuanzang himself also has this great wish, which is also the real reason of history.

4. Guanyin: Jiaocha, by the way, I dug up a few people who originally belonged to Taoism: Monkey King, Marshal Tianpeng, General of the Rolling Blind, and Prince of the Dragon King.

1. At that time, the Tang Dynasty only had Hinayana Buddhist scriptures, and Mahayana Buddhist scriptures were needed to purify sentient beings, which was also said by Guanyin Bodhisattva himself.

2, Tang Seng is the reincarnation of the golden cicada, and he needs to go through hardships.

3, Xuanzang himself also has this wish, which is the real reason of history.

Buddhism originated in the ancient Indian kingdom of Kapila (in present-day Nepal).

Buddhism dates back more than 2,500 years and was founded by Siddhartha Gautama, a prince of the Kapila Kingdom (in present-day Nepal) in ancient India (see Buddha's Birthday).

It is widely believed in the West that Buddhism originated in India, and India is in fact trying to create an image of a "Buddhist holy land".

This has led many people to have the illusion that the Buddha was born in India, which has always been dissatisfied with the Nepalese people.

Buddhism is also one of the three major religions in the world.

Buddhism in the north was carried out by land and sea.

The land route was introduced to China through the ancient Silk Road of Northwest India and the Western Regions (in the era of the Kushan Dynasty of the Great Moon Clan in India, its sphere of influence had directly covered the Western Regions and bordered the western border of China), and the other route was directly introduced to southern China by sea, such as Bodhidharma, True Meaning and other great ancestors, all of whom came to China directly from the sea and went north after landing in Guangzhou.

The western sky is our current India, which was also called Tianzhu in ancient times. In the eyes of the ancients, Tianzhu was far away from the Tang Dynasty. In order to render the atmosphere of the myth, the specific geographical name myth is called the West Heaven in Tianzhu, which is far west of the Tang Dynasty.

Because Tang Seng wants to retrieve Mahayana Buddhism, that is, Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty only has Hinayana Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism is boundless, and can transcend sentient beings, Tang Seng is a devout monk, so he went to the West Heaven to retrieve Mahayana Buddhism for the benefit of sentient beings.
