He, a Zen monk from Hubei, who has been in seclusion for only 20 years, has been in seclusion for 7 consecutive years, which attracted the people of the area to pay tribute and praise : "He is a true born Buddha, destined to be extraordinary." However, when he came out of seclusion, he performed a series of walking, sitting, sitting and lying down. His extraordinary actions, practicing skills and mental methods, attracted a piece of water and land, and finally became the pure land of the world, and all living beings became the sons of the Buddha.

"A Zen style that saves all sentient beings. He is the true Buddha of Donghua ."

"The extraordinary Zen method transforms Buddhism into the human world. He is the Buddha and Bodhisattva in the world."

He is the abbot of Donghua Zen Temple and the great monk Wanxing.

Without further ado, let’s go into this Zen temple to appreciate the majestic character of this legendary Zen monk. Let’s experience the wonders of Donghua Zen together.

In June 1971, in Suizhou, Hubei Province, bursts of laughter came from an ordinary family, and a baby boy was born and came to the world. However, this baby boy was just like he had not achieved perfection in his previous life, and in this life he was just trying to descend into the mortal world again and achieve retribution.

I originally thought that boys would go through secular life like other children and become one of the ordinary beings. Little did he know that as he grew up, 15 years passed by in a hurry, and a wish slowly rose in the boy's heart, like a lotus flower taking root, which is extremely extraordinary.

At the age of 15, the boy began to believe in Buddhism devoutly, which surprised his family. Becoming a monk became his dream at this time.

No one knows why a man, who has not truly experienced the impermanence of the world, has the wish to take refuge in the Buddha in his heart.

All this seems like this man's life has been determined, and he must take over the great responsibility of the world at this time. The rest of my life will become God's will.

html After 2003, the 18-year-old man let nature take its course and resolutely said goodbye to his family. He finally became a monk at Nanputuo Temple in Xiamen, fulfilling his long-cherished wish. Immediately, he received full ordination at Putian Meifeng Temple and took the dharma name Wan Xing.

In this way, a generation of handsome young people put an end to the turbulent world of mortals that they have not yet experienced, and officially started the long road to Buddhism for the rest of their lives.

A single vow nourished the lotus in his heart like rain, and became his biggest thought on the road to Buddhism in the future. It came from his heart:

"I will study hard, attain Buddha nature, and become a great monk who benefits all sentient beings!"

With this belief, Monk Wan Xing started practicing in full swing and arrived as expected... Little did he know that Wan Xing and Wei Lai Yi Xing sat, rested and lay down, and the way of practice amazed all the teachers and teachers.

"He is like a Buddhist disciple who is once seen in a hundred years. He is truly extraordinary and rare, and his future is limitless."

In September 1988, Master Wanxing knew that he had no theoretical training in Buddhism and did not have a comprehensive and systematic understanding of Buddhism. He knew that he had not even scratched the surface of Buddhism. Immediately, he entered the Minnan Buddhist College, studied diligently, and immersed himself in the ocean of Buddhism.

Buddhist classics and vast scriptures, diligently and systematically studied and practiced, thus became Wanxing's own way of learning and practicing.

Practicing the theoretical system, day after day, thousands of years of great virtues and mantras are rolling and merging in Wan Xing's mind. The grand and solemn scene of Buddhism blooms in the heart, and there is peace.

The lotus in your heart thrives like it receives high-quality nutrients.

Wan Xing finally completed his studies and graduated.

At this moment, Wan Xing was filled with knowledge, as if he had obtained a certificate of cultivation recognized by Buddhism.

Now, Wan Xing could have settled down in this temple. On the way forward, the ancient Buddha with a green lantern will always accompany me, and I will continue to live a good Buddhist life through repentance and Buddhist rituals.

However, the Master’s next thoughts on the practice of Taoism made everyone who heard it, and even the people in the area, unable to believe it.

Wan Xing even though the Buddhist theories in his mind are as vast as the sea, he can casually speak mantras in French and open his mouth with only a few scriptures, even this old monk is willing to be defeated. However, there are always some shortcomings that linger in my heart for a long time.

He knew very well: “This is still too far from the true Dharma." Thousands of things are known, but the limitations of theory can never break down the barriers in the heart and make it possible to get a glimpse of Buddha nature in the heart.

"The real Buddha Dharma cannot be separated from practical practice, which can truly realize the source. "After a sudden realization, the lotus seed finally bloomed.

It belongs to the path of practice, and it arrived as expected...

23 years old This year, Wan Xing went into retreat in Juechen Cave of Ruizhu Temple in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, meditating and meditating, with the sole purpose of attaining his original mind. This retreat lasted for 2 years. When he came out of retreat, his face was already full of beard, and no one could tell that he was just a man. A young Zen monk who is only 25 years old.

Unexpectedly, in the same year, the 25-year-old Wan Xing was still not satisfied with the status quo and had not yet realized his true nature, so he vowed to continue to deepen his true nature. Then he went to another retreat at Lotus Island in Tsogao Lake, Nyingchi, Tibet. This retreat actually lasted for another 2 years.

html expired in 2002 and left the country again. People say that Master Wanxing's practical cultivation is admirable, and his long beard and long hair are quite like the style of the Patriarch Bodhidharma facing the wall in seclusion.

However, when everyone thought that Master Wanxing had finally found his origin. The master once again made a decisive decision, and at the age of 27, he went into retreat again in Sansheng Cave of Donghua Zen Temple, Wengyuan County, Shaoguan, Guangdong. This time, it is for 3 years.

html As soon as the 2003 New Year passed, a group of people gathered in front of the cave. The great monk Wan Xing finally realized his origin and came out of the cave. The profound meaning of Buddhism finally fully bloomed in my heart.

Wan Xing followed this path of practice, just to get a glimpse of the true nature of Buddhism, and it lasted for seven full years.

From then on, saving all sentient beings with Buddha nature, creating a pure land with compassion, and the legendary road of spreading Dharma began. Every word and deed from now on will infect the people. After

came out of seclusion, Wan Xing fulfilled his first wish one after another.

Donghua Zen Temple, a famous historical temple in Wengyuan, was originally very glorious during the Tang and Song Dynasties, and the light of Buddha shone on the land and water. However, it was completely destroyed during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and no one came here to restore it, which shocked the people and believers.

“I want to rebuild Donghua Zen Temple! " Wan Xing carries the wish of a place of water and soil, and a certain determination naturally comes to mind, and it becomes a new way of practice.

In 2000, countless believers followed Wan Xing and began to work on the ruined Donghua Mountain.

Brick by brick, mud by tile, they worked day and night without interruption. Temples took shape one after another, and Buddha statues rose from the ground.

They cut rocks and built roads by themselves, which often made believers feel unbearable: "Master, just rest, we will do it." "

The master said a few words, but he said it with all his strength: "This is my great wish. You have spared no effort to help, and I feel sorry for it. "

In this way, Wan Xing rebuilt the temple day after day, and the believers came to help with joy.

Perhaps Wan Xing and the people here have already become Buddhas who are extradited to each other.

This construction lasted for a full 10 years... a majestic and great temple The temple finally stood majestically among the mountains, emitting the solemn light of the Buddha, attracting thousands of believers to come to worship.

In this way, Master Wanxing carried forward the legacy of the ancestor, a series of precepts, and practice practices, showing the character of Donghua Zen.

The temple follows the principle of "No work for a day, no food for a day." , sit in meditation in the hall, and practice Zen in the hall, which is the ancestral precept of "paying equal attention to agriculture and Zen."

During the day, Wan Xing leads the believers and temple disciples to go out to work on the slopes, or plant fruits, vegetables, and food to be self-sufficient. Or he builds temple facilities to integrate Zen into life and natural work.

At night, he leads all the brothers and sisters. We practice Buddhism and practice meditation without interruption.

Such practice is carried out day after day, without interruption.

"Donghua Zen aims to cultivate the practitioner's awareness while walking, sitting, or lying down. This awareness can always be used in life, production, work, or chanting Buddha's name and meditating."Borrowing all the causes and conditions in the world, integrating the wisdom and faith of Zen into life, and integrating the sufferings in the world, so as to refine the mind, only then can we awaken to life and contribute to life. "

I want to say that Buddhism is not mysterious or unfathomable. The real Buddhism is the ordinary existence in the present. Integrate the wisdom of Buddhism into the family, into society, into the country, and into nature. Only by truly integrating Buddhism into the world.

Perhaps, only by creating a pure land in the world can the wonderful lotus flowers be born in the hearts of all living beings.

This may be Master Wanxing's Donghua Zen method, which is the healing method he wants to teach to all living beings.

tml0 In order to be grateful for the spirit of forgetting one’s body for the Dharma and the country, Wan Xing set up a Buddhist Patriotic Hall in the Zen temple. The museum also enshrines 12 statues of patriotic monks from past dynasties for people to pay homage to in memory. Adhering to the model of "belief in religion first and patriotism first".

Wan Xing further adheres to the principle of only doing but not speaking, to save all sentient beings through practical moral practice, touch the world, and spare no effort to carry out charity relief work. It brings a bit of comfort to the poor people, no wonder people from all over the world call it this.

“The Bodhisattva in the world who comes through practical cultivation is the true Buddha. "

not only donates to build the "Donghua Zen Temple Charity Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic", but also allocates 20% of the limited construction funds to support charity every year. Adhering to the principle of "cultivating Buddhism first "Cultivating people" style.

Only by knowing the suffering of all living beings, can we achieve the true Buddha who saves suffering.

This is Master Wanxing and his Donghua Zen Temple.

I pay my respects here.
