What was written in the official document of Tang Priest in Journey to the West?
In The Journey to the West, the customs clearance documents were made by the Tang King and given to the Tang Priest as a passport to go abroad. On the one hand, the Tang King personally sent the customs clearance documents to Tang Priest, for the convenience of Tang Priest and others, but more for the later acceptance, to verify whether the route of Tang Priest and others had really been to Tianzhu. Tang Priest is a clever man, so he doesn't know the real function of this document. Although he never met any country to check the documents voluntarily along the way, every time he went to a country's capital, he always took the initiative to find the king to submit the customs clearance documents and asked him to stamp it for approval. However, there are two versions of such an important customs clearance document: true and false.
The real version comes from the 29th time-the Tang people in Nanshan Buzhou carried the Tang Emperor to Fengtian, saying: I want to be calm, inherit the inheritance, serve God and govern the people, and be conscientious. The former failed to save the old dragon in Jinghe River, and was condemned by my emperor and empress with three souls and seven souls, and suddenly became an impermanent guest. Because there is still a long life, I feel that the ghost king has been sent back, and Chen Shanhui is widely publicized to build a Dojo for death. Avalokitesvara, who was deeply saved, appeared in golden body, indicating that there are Buddhist scriptures in the west, which can lead him to die in seclusion and transcend his lonely soul. Master Xuanzang wrote a special book and went to Qian Shan to study the scriptures. Going to Xibang countries will not destroy good karma, but will be released in order. Those who need to die. In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, autumn was auspicious, and the imperial edict wrote. "(with nine precious seals on it)
The fake version comes from the 57th time-Li, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the East, ordered the master Chen Xuanzang, the holy monk, his royal brother to worship the Tathagata in the Yin Temple in the west of Daipo Lingshan in Tianzhu. I was attacked by disease and my soul went to the underworld. Fortunately, Yang's times have become longer, and I feel that the ghost king has been put back into the world. Chen Shan will be widely circulated, and the Dojo of death has been built. The appearance of the golden body of avalokitesvara indicates that there are Buddhist scriptures in the west and you can live in seclusion and escape. Master Xuanzang traveled to Qian Shan to seek scriptures. Cross the western countries, never destroy good deeds, and do as you say. The thirteenth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty was an auspicious day in autumn. Due to other big countries, the great disciple the Monkey King Walker, the second disciple Zhu Bajie and the third disciple Sha Wujing were collected in countries with longitude.
There is a big gap between the two versions except the names of three disciples, so there is no reason why Tang Wang can't see it. However, at the100th time, when King Tang checked the contents of the customs clearance documents, he did not find any flaws. Why is this?
Because in the ninety-eighth session, the Tang Priest "returned to the Buddha and knelt down, presenting the customs clearance documents. If the Tathagata sees something, he will give it to Sanzang. " -That is to say, the Tathagata corrected the contents of the fake documents for the Tang Priest, went to Tianzhu and added the lion camel national seal. As a result, the customs clearance documents returned by the Tang Priest to the Tang King were finally restored to the original version.
