Friends who like to watch costume film and television dramas may find that many monks in the film and television dramas are always "Amitabha Buddha", so that they leave the impression that they are monks who want to recite "Amitabha Buddha". Even Tang Seng's image in the film and television drama is that "Amitabha Buddha" does not leave his mouth, but is this really the case?
Tang Xuanzang
Let us first understand the meaning of the term "Amitabha". "Amitabha" is also known as the Buddha of Immeasurable Light and Buddha of Immeasurable Life. In fact, this is the name of a Buddha. All in all, "Amitabha" is one of the Buddhas, and his name is "Amitabha".
Seeing this, it is estimated that many friends will be very confused. Why do monks always recite the name of a Buddha? Here we are going to talk about a sect in Buddhism -Pure Land Buddhism.
The Pure Land Buddhism is generally considered to be the Eastern Jin Dynasty Taiyuan . Founded in fifteen years, the Pure Land Buddhism's teachings are very simple. The practice method is very simple. It is to recite the Buddha, which includes recitation of the Buddha's name, visualization and reality, which means recitation of the Buddha in the mouth, recitation of the Buddha in the heart, and recitation of the Buddha in front of the statue. Through constant chanting of Buddha, one can cultivate righteous fruit and enter the pure land of rebirth.
Because of the low threshold, Pure Land Buddhism developed rapidly. Compared with those Buddhist sects that emphasized Buddhism and Buddhist nature, Pure Land Buddhism quickly developed a huge mass base, and Pure Land Buddhism quickly spread throughout ancient China. Continue to this day.
Speaking of the Tang Sanzang, sutras, Lvzang, and Lunzang are the three Zangs, and only those who have high attainments in sutras, laws and doctrines deserve this name. Moreover, Tang Xuanzang was the founder of the Buddhism Weishi School. Weishi School is rigorously organized, well-analyzed, very close to science, and has a lot of vocabulary and it is difficult to learn. There was no clear record after Weishizong passed on for three generations. Although there were monks and lays studying later, there were no famous figures.
