The weeds, magical powers and vows of the Tibetan king and bodhisattva are incredible. He used his strength to impress all guilty people. He swore that "hell is not empty, and he will never become a Buddha;" Bodhi can only be proved when all beings are exhausted. He vowed that when the hell is not empty, he will not become a Buddha, and he will become a Buddha only when he has exhausted all sentient beings. If a sentient being does not complete his life, he will not become a Buddha, which is why he has not become a Buddha after such a long time. Because this sentient being is finished, that one is coming again, and it will never end. Either this conscious life is born or that one is dead; All beings died and were reborn. There are always ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times and a million times of life born in the world.
Because it takes decades for people to die, people born can't be born until they are pregnant in October, which is very fast. Therefore, life is tens of millions of times more than death, and bodhisattva is too tired to become a Buddha. But do you think he will regret it? He has no regrets. The more there is, the more work he has to do; If there were no sentient beings and he had no job, he would have become a Buddha. There is nothing to do after becoming a Buddha, and there is nothing to find for the earth treasure king and bodhisattva. Originally, he was very free. He is willing to be busy all day and always spend time with all beings. This is the wish of the Earth Treasure King Bodhisattva.
Why did the Tibetan King and Bodhisattva make such a wish? Because he feels that he is one with all beings, it is meaningless for him to become a Buddha unless all beings become a Buddha; So he is here waiting for all beings, and he has this kind of karma with all beings forever and ever. There is no way to measure and understand this will of the earth treasure king bodhisattva. What I'm talking about now is only a small part. In fact, his wishes cannot be considered or discussed.
On the Yulan Festival on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, the filial sons and grandchildren of the people should also hold a grand ceremony like the Buddha who taught the Tibetan King and Bodhisattva in those days to do filial piety for their parents and ancestors. Confucius said in the Book of Filial Piety: "The husband's filial piety is the first thing, his relatives, his monarch, and finally his position. Filial piety is not only to serve parents, but also to achieve a higher level of moral cultivation, correct one's words and deeds and improve oneself. When you become immortal and Buddha, you become an adult, standing on the street to show your parents, making your ancestors feel glorious. That is, in the Book of Filial Piety, it is said that "standing on the street and leaving your name for your parents in future generations will be over." "The so-called filial piety is to cultivate Buddha. On the level of filial piety, sacred filial piety is truly thorough and complete.
The Bodhisattva, the King of Tibet, said: "Practice is true, accumulate virtues and do good deeds, and ancestors can do good deeds to benefit future generations, and future generations can surpass their ancestors when they stand on the road. When the son is introduced, all the nine families are happy, and the son is enlightened, and the nine families are exalted. 」
Poems of Tibetan King and Bodhisattva:
Trapped for a long time, very miserable.
Wind gives birth to rain at night, which is desolate, foggy, autumn, pity and deep concern.
It's sad and evil. It's hard to ask for help. It's hard to ask for help.
Xia Zishize converted to Taoism, and Verne Bo was generally regarded as a ghost.
The world should follow the example of filial piety of Tibetan kings and bodhisattvas. The Orchid Festival, which originated from the Tibetan King and Bodhisattva, is approaching. However, filial sons and grandchildren should not sacrifice wine and meat, so as not to increase the sins of their ancestors. Only gold, silver, paper and clothes are cremated for ancestors, and the rest are unnecessary. If you don't fast, you should fast for your ancestors throughout July to show filial piety.
Legend:
At that time, the right of the landlord in Jiuhuashan belonged to the local rich old man Ming Ge. When I built the temple, I asked the Kuomintang to send the land to the old. Min is always charitable and has great respect for Tibetan monks. How much land does he want? Dizang replied, "I just want a place for the cassock." What does Min Lao think is the profession of Taoist robes? So he generously agreed. Who knows, Tibetan monks, regardless of robes, actually covered Jiuhua Mountain Peak. Min Lao was overjoyed when he saw that Tibetan monks had this magical power. He is about to give away all Jiuhua Mountain, vowing to protect the monks. And ordered his son to become a monk with the Tibetan Bodhisattva. After Silla, many people came to learn Taoism. When food was not enough, they often mixed Guanyin soil (as white as powder) when cooking. It can be seen that the monks were living in poverty at that time. When King Silla heard that the monks were hiding in the deep mountains, he led the people to practice penance in Jiuhua Mountain and sent people to feed them.
This is how the present ghost (Buddha) religion came into being!
The Bodhisattva Earth Treasure, or King Earth Treasure Bodhisattva, was once transliterated as "begging fork to plow the fields and sand". Because of its "patience is like the earth, meditation is like a secret", it is named Dizang. It ranks alongside Guanyin, Manjusri and Pu Xian as one of the four major Buddhists and is deeply admired by the world. Because of his "long-term robbery and repeated vows", he was honored as the great wish to hide the king and bodhisattva.
The Tibetan Bodhisattva, also known as the Tibetan King Bodhisattva, is called the Tibetan Bodhisattva, and its Chinese transliteration is Keshidi Gahoba, one of the eight Great Bodhisattvas. According to the Ten Circle Scriptures of Dizang, its Dojo is located in Jiuhua Mountain, Chizhou City, Anhui Province, and it is also known as the four famous Buddhist mountains in China with Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang, Wutai Mountain in Shanxi and Emei Mountain in Sichuan. Once said: "Hell is not empty, I will never become a Buddha!" " A firm Buddhist language.
According to the "Bodhisattva's Wishing Sutra", before the infinite robbery in the past, there was a woman of Brahman caste. "Her mother believed in evil and often despised the three treasures." No.
At the end of the long life, the soul god fell into endless hell. Anemarrhena asphodeloides, a brahmin woman, did not accumulate good karma before her death, so she will fall into bad karma after her death, so the seller supports the Buddhist temple. Later, Chueh-hua settled down in the direction of Wang Tathagata, and read Buddha's power and went to hell. When she saw that the ghost king was harmless, she learned that her mother and other sinners in hell had been freed from the suffering of hell because of her merits of supporting Buddhist temples to read Buddha, and she ascended to heaven. The Brahma vowed in front of the statue of Wang Tathagata in Juehua: "I am willing to rob the future, and I should be guilty of suffering all sentient beings and free them." Sakyamuni Buddha told Manjusri Bodhisattva that the Brahmin woman at that time was the present Tibetan Bodhisattva. In the scripture, Buddha Sakyamuni tells us all kinds of incredible wishes of Tibetan Bodhisattva. The Tibetan Bodhisattva always takes "the hell is not empty, I will never become a Buddha" as a vow. As a result, as long as all sentient beings recite their names and worship their images, they can gain infinite merits and salvation. It is also described in the Buddhist scriptures that after the death of Sakyamuni Buddha and before the birth of Maitreya Buddha, the Tibetan Bodhisattva kept the world and educated all living beings to get rid of hell, hungry ghosts, beasts, Asura, man and heaven.
Yan Luowang is the master of the underworld in folklore, in charge of human life and death and reincarnation. In ancient folk beliefs in China, after death, people should report to the underworld and be judged by Yan.
Folk belief
In China folklore, Bao Zheng became the embodiment of justice. Some people think that after his death, he will become Yan Luowang and continue to try triad cases. Others think that he "judges the world by day and the underworld by night", that is to say, he judges cases on earth by day and becomes Yan Luowang at night, and judges cases in the underworld. After death, the soul goes to the underworld to be judged by Bao Zheng. If it is really framed, Bao Zheng will bring him back to life; If he is really guilty, he will be sent to hell to be punished.
There are four kings of Yan in folklore: besides Bao Zheng, there are Han Qinhu, Fan Zhongyan and Kou Zhun. On the other hand, there are three princes, namely Bao Zheng, Fan Zhongyan and Kou Zhun.
Buddhist influence
The Chinese word "Rebecca" is the abbreviation of the word "efreet Luo Shuo" transliterated from Sanskrit, which originally meant "binding", especially binding guilty people, and also translated as "Yamaraja (King)", "Yan Mo (King)" and "Yan Mo". In ancient China, there was no concept of Yan. After Buddhism was introduced into China from ancient India, the belief in Yan began to spread in China.
In ancient Indian mythology, Yan was the god in charge of the underworld, and there was already a legend about Yan in the Rigveda, the oldest existing poetry collection in India. The concept of Yan may have been formed earlier, with more than one source. In fact, Yan has many different versions of legends in ancient India. After Buddhism was founded, it followed the strict concept and regarded Yan as the god who managed hell.
It is generally believed that Buddhism was introduced into China at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and made great progress in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. With the introduction of Buddhism into China, Rebecca belief began to be widely accepted and interacted with the original superstition and Taoist belief in China. China people already have the concept of ghosts and gods, which is embodied in the "Dongyue Emperor" who believes in China's local religion Taoism. "Dongyue Emperor" was originally a folk worship of Mount Tai, believing that Mount Tai is the place where the soul leads to the underworld after death, and Mount Tai is the guardian of the underworld. After Buddhism was introduced into China, some gods in Buddhism were absorbed and adopted after the transformation of folk beliefs. On the other hand, Buddhism itself is actively developing locally to adapt to the new social environment. Therefore, Buddhism has only one strictness, and gradually evolved into the "Ten Temple Yamaraja" with China characteristics. There is no definite evidence about the specific time when the belief of "Ten Temples Yamaraja" was formed. According to people's estimation, it was about the Song Dynasty. At this time, Yan has become the fifth of the top ten temples, which is considered to be held by Bao Zheng, the minister of the Northern Song Dynasty.
