Tiantai Mountain Guoqing Temple in Tang Dynasty

Tianxing letter is written on the method of the word "日本" and is named Wu, and his ancestral surname is Yixing, Changzhou (now Yixing, Jiangsu). Since his grandfather's generation, he has taken refuge and moved to Dongou (now south of Yongjia County, Zhejiang). From then on, he settled in this place, which is now Linhai Zhang'an (now Linhai, Zhejiang). His father died when he was young and was nurtured and raised by his mother. When he was just two months old, he was wandering at something, smiling and trying to say it, but he didn't know what he said. When his mother called the name of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha at night, he learned to learn the tongue and the pronunciation and sentences were clear, and everyone was surprised. He informed Master Huizheng of the Shejing Temple. The master sighed and said, "This son is extraordinary." He used the word "special". At the age of seven, he joined Huizheng and became his disciple. He studied hard, read all the classics of metaphysics and Confucianism, and was outstanding in his talent and was already a little famous in his hometown. He received full precepts at the age of twenty and was very fond of Buddhism. Since Master Huizheng passed away, he went to Tiantai to study, practice meditation, and persevere.

In the first year of Chen Zhide (583 AD), he followed Zen Master Zhiyan to live in Guangzhai Temple to teach teachings and frequently received the seal of Zen Master Zhiyan. After Chen's demise, Zen Master Zhiyi visited and spread the Dharma everywhere, and visited all the famous places in various places. Many of the great masters from all directions visited. Later, he went to Yuquan Temple in Jingzhou and spread the Dharma and traveled around Western Chu. In the 11th year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty (591 AD), King of Jin Yang Guang guarded Yangzhou , accompanied Master Zhizhe to stay in the Zen Temple, and was the next member of the Dharma General of the Sect of Zhiyan. Later, he followed Zhiyan to Tiantaishan to assist Zhiyan in spreading the Dharma and preaching the scriptures. In his later years, he lived in the heart of the meditation, talked about the Lotus Sutra, and analyzed it in detail. There were wise men and scholars from all over the world gathered. At that time, a master Jizang became a monk in Emperor Xing. Later, he promoted Buddhism at Jiaxiang Temple and was unique in Zhejiang East . He highly praised the Tiantai teachings, so he sent his disciples to Tiantai to study the Lotus Sutra, and vowed to promote and preach this sutra.

In the 17th year of Kaihuang (597 AD), Master Zhizhe was sick, and he served his own decoctions and medicines in person, and took meticulously. After the wise man passed away, he personally accepted the order, cried and knelt down to receive the remains of the letter, and later transferred it to the King of Jin. The King of Jin was prostrated and cried and received the truth. He followed the courtesy of the guests and was in line with the courtesy of the guests. He was in a close relationship with the law. Later Jin Wang sent Sima Wang Hong to send the initiation back to the mountain, set up Thousand Monks' Zhai for the wise, and built Guoqing Temple , which is the former site of Tan Guang and Daoyou in the Jin Dynasty. Qianfeng Folong Temple is called "Practice Zen". When Chen Chao was in , the wise man came to the rooftop, which was called "Danqiu". The terrain was flat and the field of vision was broad. So I prepared the land and planted trees in Longnan, preparing to build a temple here, but before I could fulfill my wish, I went to the west and returned. King Jin followed Zhiying's will and built the Guoqing Temple here.

In the first year of Renshou in the Sui Dynasty (601 AD), the King of Jin inherited the throne and came to Guoqing Temple after a journey through the Wanli River. The four seas celebrated each other. The initiation was held by the King of Jin ascended the throne and the construction of the mountain temple. Emperor Yang of Meng personally received the meeting, and his condolences were frequent and he was treated with great courtesy. He was held in the initiation and social activities, and his words and deeds were generous, which was highly praised by Emperor Yang of . After the work was finished, he sent the Minister of the cavalry and the Minister of the Outer, Zhang Qianwei and his wife, and sent him back to the mountain, and gave him three thousand pieces of silk cloth, including three hundred felts. A Thousand Monks' Chai was also set up to redecorate the temples and temples in the mountains, making the Guoqing Temple in Tiantai Mountain more grand and spectacular, just as the wise predicted.

In the second year of Renshou (602 AD), Emperor Yang wrote another initiation, saying, "It is the midsummer, and the weather is hot. May the Zen master be healthy and improve his meditation. Recently, he asked Master Zhiri to explain the " Vimalakirti Sutra ". The lectures mostly used the meaning of Master Zhizhe to interpret the scriptures. Since the Zen master Zhizhe is the master of Master Zhizhe and the Tiantai teachings are entrusted, he wanted to invite the Zen master to attend the preaching ceremony. Please be sure to come here. When you come, please bring Master Zhizhe's "The Lotus Sutra" together. Waiting for the Zen master eagerly. The book is not full of intentions." The initiation then carried the tin of the bowl and walked into the capital. During the lecture, whenever there is a profound point, I will consult him. The initiation will be widely quoted and should be freely connected, which will benefit the participants a lot. After the lecture, he sent someone to send him back to the mountain, and the gifts were extremely rich. (According to the "Bailuo of Guoqing" records: "In the first year of Daye, Emperor Yang of Sui issued an imperial edict to Jiangyang monks: In the past, Master Zhizhe established a temple in Tiantai Mountain, and named it Tiantai because of the mountain. Now he must have a formal name. There are no good names in the sutras and treatises. You can express your opinions. I will finally decide." Monk Zhicao said, "Master Zhizhe once wrote: 'If the temple is completed, the country will be bright.'" Emperor Yang then issued an imperial edict: "This is the master's auspicious auspiciousness, so it is called Guoqing Temple." And he used great powers to use the great powers. The plaque, with large seal characters in the book, sent Lu Zhengfang, a member of the Inner History and General Affairs Office, to Tiantai Mountain, and settled it on the gate of the temple. He also built the surrounding walls for Guoqing Temple and gave paddy fields to the abandoned temple. He also ordered Wang Hong to give a lot of fertile land to the temple to fill the foundation. )

In the seventh year of Daye, Emperor Yang of Sui stationed troops in Zhuoye, preparing to conquer the tribes of the East, and then recounted the achievements of the ancestors of all dynasties, Chen Banquan and Dongshan's questioning. When he remembered the wise, he sighed and moved. He issued an order to welcome the initiation to his place of practice, and immediately met him and called him a classmate. Afterwards, Wu Min was sent to send him back to the rooftop. Later, I often visited the rooftop.

The initiation of the body is in the hills and valleys, and the world is extinct. The cultivation of concentration and wisdom is practiced, and the speech and silence are transformed. Famous monks and masters from all directions have gone to ask him for advice and study, and their reputation has been very prosperous. Anyone who wants to understand the three views, ten such views, and the dust of the mind will come to the foreground and pray for wisdom. Suddenly, on August 7, the sixth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (632 AD), he finally ended at Guoqing Temple, and his lifetime was 72 years old. At first, when he suffered from mild illness, no matter what medicine he used, there was a strange fragrance in the room. At the time of death, he said to his disciples, "The Maitreya Sutra says, "The Buddha said that the incense is like clouds." You burn incense more, and I will leave." So he left a will, and his words were truly touching. The disciples admired him and burst into tears. Suddenly, he got up and sat upright, as if he was respectful, and called Amitabha three times in his mouth. Then he lowered his body and lay down, lifted his hand to his chest, with a happy expression and suddenly passed away. After my death for a long time, my body was light and soft, and my head was still slightly warm.

There was a classmate Zhixi . He was a disciple of Zhiying, and was famous for his clear mind and clear nature. He died in the first year of Zhenguan. At the time of death, he said to his disciples, "I will be reborn in Tushita Heaven and go to meet my ancestor Zhizhe. There are already people on the throne there, and only one empty seat is left. It is said that six years after my death, Master Guanting came here to preach, and this is his seat." After saying that, he burned incense and went to extinguish. On the ninth day of the month, he was buried in the south mountain of the temple, running far and near, shaking the mountains and forests. Six years later, the initiation passed away. When calculating time, Zhixi's words are not wrong.

Initiation and Taoist customs, and has great magical powers. The local villager Yu Falong, whose home is more than 30 miles away from the mountain temple, was seriously ill and treated in all kinds of ways, but nothing was effective and was on the verge of death. His son rushed to the temple to pray for initiation treatment. He then recited the Lotus Sutra for him to burn incense to pray for blessings and disasters. Although Yu's family was far away from the temple, he smelled sandalwood at that time and the disease was cured quickly. In addition, the area of ​​Le'an Nanling is called Anzhou. The trees are green and the streams are clear. Guantou likes this place very much. He once vowed, "If this area can be turned into a flat ground, I will come here to preach the scriptures." Not long after, white sand was indeed surging everywhere, flat as a mirror. Guantou looked at it because of his oath, so he did not let down his previous vows and went here to preach the Lotus Sutra and the Golden Light Sutra to repay the spirit. He once taught " Nirvana Sutra " at Zhang'an Shejing Temple. He happened to encounter a pirate invasion. The Taoist monks fled, but the initiation still hit the bell and started talking without fear. When the pirates arrived at the temple, they suddenly saw soldiers standing with flags, and many soldiers holding bows and halberds. Everyone was more than ten feet tall, and they were extremely fierce. The thieves were shocked and all fled. He also led his apprentice to lay stones into a pagoda in Folong, and at that time, two huge stones needed to be used as a pagoda gate. Disciple Guangying used a car to transport a large stone. Everyone thought the stone was too big and should find another stone as a door. The initiation then raised the tin staff and slashed the stone. The stone was instantly broken into two pieces, neither big nor small, just right for the tower gate. There are countless things like this.

Initiation received from Master Zhizhe, and the wise received from Nanyue Huisi. From , Huisi , wise men to initiation for three generations, he was the dominant Buddhist world at that time. They both preach and practice meditation, but mostly follow the Lotus Sutra.In addition, we often talk about the Nirvana Sutra, the Golden Light Sutra, the Vimalakirti Sutra, etc., and the most important methods of perfect, sudden, contemplation and the Four Minds. Master Zhizhe, a master of priest, has his eloquence, like a cloud and a rain, or like a sky net, or as precious as , garlands and . Only one person can inherit his teachings and career. The wise man's narration, meaning and essays are often handed down by initiation. His disciples Guangying and the monks of Guoqing Temple erected a monument at the temple gate and recorded their conduct. The monk Faxuan of Changzhou Hongshan Temple wrote an inscription, which was very beautiful in writing, and saw another biography.
