Tang Mi’s ancestor Vajra Wisdom

Shibarila Bodhi, known as Vajra Wisdom in the Han area, was a native of the Malaya Kingdom of South India (now Indian Peninsula in the southwest of Maramar). This country is called Guangming Kingdom in Chinese and is located near Budou Luojia Mountain, the holy land of Guanyin. His father was a Brahmin, who was good at the Five Intelligence Theory and was extremely intelligent since childhood.

When he was ten years old, he became a monk in Nalanda Temple , and studied the statement based on Master Jingzhi.

When he was fifteen, he went to West India and spent four years studying the works of Master Fazhi, and then returned to Nalanda Temple.

At the age of twenty, you will receive the full precepts. I spent six years studying various precepts of Mahayana and Hinayana. Then he studied the works of Southern School, such as "Prajna Lamp", " Hundred Treatises ", and "Twelve Gate Treatises". At the age of 28, he studied " Yoga Theory ", " Yoga Theory ", and "Defending the Middle Border" with Master Shengxian in the Acropolis for three years.

When he was thirty-one, he went to South India. At that time, Long Zhi, a disciple of Nagarjuna Bodhisattva, was already old. In the next seven years, Vajra Zhi studied Mahayana sutras such as the "Vajra Pin Yuga Sutra" and "Virusanna General Dharani Dharma", as well as various Five-Ming treatises, and received five empowerments to understand the exoteric and esoteric.

When Vajra Zhi learned the secret method, it was a long time when South India had drought and rain. For this reason, the king invited Vajra Zhi to the palace to ask for rain. Sure enough, it was raining heavily in less than a few days. The king was happy and excited, and Vajra Wisdom was therefore given the highest offering and worshipped by the ministers and the people. From then on, he began his career of spreading the Dharma by traveling around and guiding sentient beings.

Vajra Wisdom heard that Chinese Buddhism is prevalent, so he vowed to China to promote the esoteric Buddhism, so he took the sea to China, and brought the " Great Prajna Sutra " and other Buddhist scriptures, as well as the seven treasures of India and many precious spices and treasures. He was attacked by mobs many times on the way, and all the merchant ships he traveled with were persecuted, and the only ships he took on were spared. After three years, he passed by Ceylon and Sumatra, and arrived in Guangzhou in the seventh year of Kaiyuan (719 AD), established the Tantric Initiation Temple and began to promote Tantric Buddhism.

arrived in Guangzhou, and the emperor issued an order to welcome him to stay at Ci'en Temple, and soon moved to Dajianfu Temple. Whenever he goes to a temple, he will build a large mandala initiation temple to transform and save the four groups of disciples. At that time, Master Dazhi, Dahui, and the second Zen Master Bukong Sanzang all held disciple etiquette to him. Later, I followed the emperor to Luoyang . The year I arrived in Luoyang, from the first lunar month to May, there was continuous drought and no drop of water fell. Although I had done many rain prayers, none of them worked. The court issued an edict to ask Vajra to set up an altar to pray for rain. Vajra wisdom uses the Bukong hook and according to the Bodhisattva Dharma, sets up an altar at his residence, and personally draws the statue of the seven kokit Bodhisattva, sets the date of consecration, and says that it will rain after consecration. The emperor specially sent Zen Master Yixing to cooperate with him.

to the seventh day, the sun was scorching and there were no clouds. In the afternoon, the northwest wind suddenly started, and the wind was extremely strong. For a moment, the trees were flying. After that, it started to rain heavily and everyone cheered. And where he formed the altar, a large hole was penetrated by lightning, and the ground was flooded and it rushed to the dojo. People in the capital said: This hole was the dragon captured by Vajra, which was left behind when they flew out of the roof. "As soon as this statement spreads, thousands of people want to watch this cave every day. At that time, the emperor loved Taoist and Taoist theories, and did not attach much importance to Buddhism. He obeyed the officials' remarks and issued an order to send Western Regions monks back to his country. The attendant told Vajra Zhi about this matter. Vajra Zhi said, "I am an Indian monk, not a monk from the Western Regions, so I am not the object of repatriation by the court. I don't plan to go back." A few days later, I suddenly ordered him to be sent to Yanmen Pass, so he bid farewell to the emperor. When the emperor heard this, he was shocked and personally issued an edict to keep him in the capital.

At that time, the 25th princess was very favored by the emperor. Unexpectedly, she was infected with a serious illness and was ineffective in the long-term treatment. The emperor moved her to the Xianyi Outside Hall for ten days, and the princess closed her eyes and could not speak. The emperor also ordered the Vajra Zhi to teach the precepts. This was to conclude that the princess was no longer helpful, so this order was given. After Vajra Zhi was ordered to arrive at the princess' residence, he selected two seven-year-old women in the palace, wrapped them with red silk, and let them lie on the ground. He also wrote an imperial edict and burned it at her residence. Vajra Zhi recited the mantra and the mantra again, and the two women actually remembered it silently without missing a word. Vajrazhi entered into meditation again and used incredible force to ask the two women to take the imperial edict to . After a while, the two women asked the princess's late baby nanny Liu to escort the princess' soul back with the two women. So the princess immediately sat up and spoke as usual. When the emperor heard about this, he didn't even take the guard and went straight to the princess's residence. The princess said to her father, "The fixed number is hard to change. This time she came back, she just saw the holy face again." After half a day, she passed away. Since then, the emperor has become more respectful to Vajra.

Also, there was a Wu Concubine in the palace at that time. The emperor favored her more than any other concubine. She had no major problems on her daily life, but Vajra Zhi asked her to quickly create a statue of the Vajra Bodhisattva: She also advised the Prince of Hedong, who was in good health at that time, to paint a statue of the Bodhisattva in the Vairocana Tower, and said to his disciples: "These two have not been alive for a long time." Only a few months later, the two died one after another. It is often the case that it is foresighted.

Vajra Wisdom is very well-versed in the principles of things, and everything he says is very effective. He is also very proficient in the secrets of sutras, treatises, precepts, mantras, and mantras. If someone has reached the door, Vajra Wisdom will be able to remember it forever when he sees it. In addition, he was unfathomable and was deeply impressed by his emotions. Everyone who had come into contact with him admired and admired him very much.

First arrived in Panyu, Guangdong in the seventh year of Kaiyuan (719 AD), and later gradually visited various places, spread the classics of Tantric Buddhism, and built many mandalas. The completion of the Dharma also showed a lot of supernatural auspicious signs. The monks and his party admired their studies and asked him for advice many times. Vajra Wisdom was taught to him one by one without reservation. After the journey, he came from the altar and empowered the initiation, spread the Dharma, and asked Vajra to translate this classic to facilitate the public. In the 11th year of Kaiyuan, he was ordered to translate the two volumes of "Yoga Recitation Method" and the two volumes of "Seven Kyoti Dharani" at Zisheng Temple. Ishero, the great leader of the Brahmin of East India, served as the translator, and the monk Wen of Songyue, received the pen. In the 18th year of Kaiyuan, he translated one volume of "Manshu Shili Five-character Heart Dharani" and "Avalokites of Avalokites of Yoga" at Dajianfu Temple. The monk Zhizang served as the translation position, and the monk took the pen and received it, and deleted it into a text. Anyone who finds that there are missing chapters in the old translation will be given supplementary. The general seal translation of Vajra Wisdom is effective, and the tantric practices are the most popular. In Luoyang, , Chang'an, , no matter whether you become a monk, you will receive many scholars from him. Around August 15, 20th year of Kaiyuan, Vajra Zhi said to his disciples at Guangfu Temple in Luoyang, "When the moon is full, I will leave." He then worshiped Vairocana Buddha , and walked back to our courtyard around the seven coins. He burned incense and made a vow, put on the Brahma clip and translated Buddhist scriptures. After the instructions, he would be silent and transformed, and his lifetime was seventy-one, and Dharma La fifty-one. On November 7 of that year, he was buried at the right side of Yichuan, Longmen, Henan. His disciples built a tower for him to commend him. His disciples were preached by Bukong Sanzang for the court. The emperor issued a posthumous title of the national teacher. He was instructed to the disciple Zhongshu Shilang Du Hongjian . He has always respected him very much and wrote an inscription for him to record his virtues.
