Grab the territory, grab the resources, rob the people, this is the bottom pants of most of the wars in history, of course, romantic foreigners have also fought for women, but in the Eastern Jin Dynasty about 1,600 years ago, there were several large-scale wars that fought very strangely, not robbing beautiful women and not robbing land, robbing two monks in one middle and one outside.
Foreign monks chant. There was a foreign monk who lived in the kamezi kingdom and was named Kumarosh. According to reports, this person is extremely talented, half a year old to speak, three years old to read, five years old to start reading books, seven years old to see through the red dust and follow his mother out of the family. He broke through the iron shoes to find the High Master, and traveled to the thirty-six countries in the western region to India. At the age of twelve, he returned to the Kamezi Kingdom and began to preach the Fa on the altar, and at the age of twenty-one, he became the guoshi of The Kamezi. He was deeply respected by the kings of the Western Regions, and thus became famous, spreading along the Silk Road to Chinese mainland, and even to the ears of the Former Qin Emperor Jian Jian.
Another Han Chinese monk, Master Dao'an, was in Xiangyang, and Jian Jian had long been famous. Master Dao'an was a disciple of the high monk Buddha Tucheng, a master of Buddhist thought, who translated many works, and famous monks such as Hui Yuan and Hui Zhi were all out of his door. When Master Dao'an was born, he had an extra piece of flesh on his arm, much like a meat bracelet, so he was also called the "Bodhisattva of the Seal Hand".
In 377 AD, Taishi, who was in charge of night viewing the celestial phenomenon, came to report: Emperor! The discovery of a big star indicates that a "great German Andyx" is coming to our country. Jian Jian is a very talented person, and he is very happy to hear it - well... To say that such high-ranking people, as far as Shuo knew, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was Master Shi Dao'an, and the Western Regions were also Master Kumarosh, should it be them? An emissary was immediately sent to please, but unfortunately nothing was done.
This annoyed Mr. Jian a little. Soft can only come hard, then send soldiers to grab it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > 379 AD, the first war was fought </h1>
Jian Jian sent a large army to the south, and after occupying Fancheng, he attacked Xiangyang with all his might, and the city was destroyed, and Former Qin officers and soldiers returned with triumphant songs.
Jian Jian, who had received the good news, triumphantly said to the minister Quan Yi, "I used an army of 100,000 to capture Xiangyang and get one and a half people. Quan Yi was puzzled, he explained: "An Gong (referring to Dao An) counts as a perfect person, and Xi Chisel counts as half a person." "Xi Chisel is also a great sage of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but in his eyes, hehe! It can only be counted as half, which shows Jian Jian's admiration for Master Dao'an.
The Dao'an master who came to Chang'an was at peace with the encounter, and everywhere was nothing more than the propagation of the Fa. He suggested to Jian Jian that he should ask Kumarosh, the master of the Kamezi Kingdom, to study the teachings. Dao Anqi was nearly seventy years old at the time, and he attached so much importance to a foreign monk in his thirties that he had to invite this high man. Jian Jian immediately sent emissaries to the western region, but he did not expect that the king of Guizi was not happy, and he poked Jian Jian's face.
Within a few years, the opportunity came. King Shanshan and others who did not deal with Guizi came to ask the soldiers to fight, and Jian Jian also wanted to go through the Western Regions, just to invite the master back.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > 382 AD, the second war was launched </h1>
Jian Jian sent out his 70,000 elite troops who could fight the hardest battles (if these people stayed, it was really difficult to say who would win the Battle of Shuishui), and the commander was the famous general Lü Guang. This man was brave and good at fighting, and was deeply appreciated by the prime minister Wang Meng. In the great battle of conquest and state mu Zhang Ping, Lü Guang was like a nobody in the Wanma Army, and once stabbed the ten thousand enemies Zhang Oyster under the horse!
Before the army went out, Jian Jian confessed to Lü Guang:
"Hearing of the Western Kingdom of Kumarosh, deeply understanding the Fa, expounding yin and yang well, and being a sect of later learning, I have thought about it." ——Master Rosh has been admired for a long time, such a high sage is a "great treasure of the country", and I want him to be the national teacher of our great Qin kingdom. If you conquer Guizi, send him to Chang'an as soon as possible.
The Former Qin army swept through thousands of miles in the western regions, like Tang Woxue. The following year, the 70,000 Tiger and Wolf Division Pingtu Guizi and the 700,000 rabble-rousers of the western countries were destroyed, and bai chun, the king of Guizi, was killed. To Lü Guang's surprise, not only did he conquer more than thirty countries, the western regions were all under the control of Former Qin, but he also captured Kumarosh and could make a perfect deal with the emperor.
In March 385, Lü Guang's army took more than 20,000 camels and more than 10,000 horses, full of treasures from the Western Regions, and on one of the camels sat the strange Kumarosh.
However, there were unexpected storms in the sky, and on their way back, the Great War of the Century in the Central Plains had come to an abrupt end.
Jian Jian did not listen to the golden jade good words of the late prime minister Wang Meng, nor did he listen to the advice of Master Dao'an and others, and insisted on launching a war to destroy the Jin Dynasty, resulting in a major defeat and loss at Shuishui. Subsequently, everything fell like dominoes, and Not only did Former Qin collapse the country, but even the emperor Ofe Jian, who was a man of great talent, also died at the hands of Yao Cang, a Qiang tyrant.
Lü Guang's army went to Guzang in Liangzhou (present-day Wuwei, Gansu), and suddenly heard the bad news of Former Qin, 70,000 people were all stupid, the country was broken, and they were homeless!
What is comforting is that some people have horses and weapons and jewels, and Lü Guang started another stove in Liangzhou and established Houliang, Guizi and the countries of the Western Regions under his jurisdiction.
Kumarosh could only be tied up in Liangzhou. Lü Guang was an expert in fighting, but he did not believe in Buddhism, and he constantly humiliated Kumarosh, and even forced him to break his vows after getting him drunk.
For seventeen years, Kumarosh lived the life of a half-prisoner. However, during this time, Kumarosh's Chinese reading and writing ability improved by leaps and bounds, laying a solid foundation for the future translation of Buddhist scriptures.
During this period, Yao Cang, who had killed Jian Jian, established himself as emperor, and succeeded him by his son Yao Xing. The newly appointed emperor was a firm believer in Buddhism, and he knew that Master Kumarosh was in Lü Guang's hands and had repeatedly sent people to negotiate for it.
Lü Guang didn't know the value of Kumarosh, but he knew that he was superior in wisdom, and he was afraid that letting him go would be detrimental to Hou Liang, not to mention, your Yao family was still the murderer of His Majesty the Emperor!
The discussion was fruitless, and the only way to fight could be raised again.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > May 401 AD, the third war began </h1>
Later Qin lord Yao Xing was furious and sent an army of 100,000 to attack Liangzhou. At this time, Lü Guang was dead, and his son Lü Long was not an opponent at all.
At this point, the tempering of Kumarosh ended, and a personable young talent was polished by the years into an old monk in Liangzhou with a face full of vicissitudes, but after all the hardships, at the age of fifty-eight, he finally entered Chang'an City and came to the Holy Land of Dongtu, which had always longed for the promotion of the Fa.
Yao Xing greeted Kumarosh with the highest courtesy of the country, and what awaited him was the large number of Buddhist scriptures that had been silent for more than two hundred years and the largest translation field in China's history. In this specially built translation field for him, Yao Xing equipped him with a huge team of more than 500 monks.
The master was proficient in sutras, Vinaya, and Analects, and was the first of the three Tibetan masters in China. Thirteen years later, he and his disciples translated more than 380 important Buddhist texts, such as the Dapin Pan Ruo Sutra, the Myo Fa Lotus Sutra, the Vimalaya Sutra, the Amitabha Sutra, the Diamond Sutra, the Middle Theory, the Hundred Treatises, the Twelve Treatises, the Great Wisdom Theory, and the Theory of Becoming Reality. Together with Xuanzang, Bukong, and Zhenzhen, he is called the four great translators of Chinese Buddhism, and ranks first among them.
His life was a legend, and on his deathbed he left a mystery.
In 413 A.D., Guru Kumarosh knew that the time had come for him to leave the world of TheVadha. On his deathbed, he made an oath: "If there are no errors in the scriptures I have translated throughout my life, then when I die, I will be cremated and my tongue will not burn out." "If what is preached is infallible, let the tongue not burn after burning." ”
On April 13, Kumarosh died at the Chang'an Caotang Temple at the age of 70. Yao Xing was extremely saddened and personally participated in the memorial service of Di Bi, and thousands of disciples sent off the master.
Sure enough, there was a miracle during the cremation process: "The salary is destroyed and broken, but the tongue is not ashed." As he said, the flesh dissolves in the fire, the tongue is not scorched, and the light of a lotus flower is constantly emitted.
Today, in Liangzhou District, Wuwei City, Gansu Province, there is a Kumarosh Temple, which has a pagoda built for the worship of his tongue, and the feudal rulers of the past have worshiped the gods, which is also the only tongue stupa in the world.
