What is Buddha? Will there be an answer to this question? It is obvious that there is no one, because the role of Jigong is popular all over the country and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When I was a guest on a show, I was asked: "There will be someone who will play the living Buddha Jigong later. Do you think that the living Buddha should be like you?"
The old man smiled and said frankly: "I had Jigong before me. The actor was called You Guangzhao . His figure is not very similar to me. He is a fat monk. But this is also a living Buddha, so Bodhisattvas are formless."
was shocking. We can't see the living Buddhas walking on the earth. It seems that the Buddhas are all in people's hearts, and they live in the hearts of old man You Benchang. If there is Zen in his heart, there will be Buddha hearts, and with Buddha hearts, you can see Buddhas.
In such a familiar classic book, there are also debates about Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism, which also leads to the story of traveling west to obtain the scriptures.
I dare not say who is Buddha, after all, Buddha has no form, so I should be unintentional. However, in his later years, the monk Guangqin, who is nicknamed "Fruit Master", seems to smell the Zen-full flower better than the ordinary people on the way toward Buddha.
Meet Buddha in pain
Monk Guangqin was born on October 26th in the 18th year of the Guangxu period. The story begins with a poor family, and you cannot gain great wisdom without seeing sorrow and joy.
Guangqin When he was a child, his family was poor. After weighing the pros and cons, his parents could only give him to others as an adopted son. God will give him great responsibilities to this person. He must first suffer his mind and mind and muscles and bones. Guangqin has been weak since childhood, but he has a very intelligent root. He followed his mother and believed in Buddha vegetarianism and began to have his own Buddha heart.
When they grew up, their adoptive parents passed away one after another, Yu Tian at home was coveted by relatives and others. They suddenly realized that the world was boring and determined to focus on the Buddha. They distributed the fields in their homes to their close relatives and went to Chengtian Temple in Quanzhou to study Buddhism.
20-year-old Guangqin went to a temple to study Buddhism for the first time, worshipped the abbot of the old monk Zhuanchen, and was ordained by Master Ruifang, who practiced asceticism, and since then he was given the name "Guangqin".
Just entered the temple, Guangqin was responsible for daily affairs in the temple every day. For example, the food needs to be grown and pulled out weeds every day, and the temple has a large number of people and limited food supply. Guangqin returned to the temple every day. Before he could start his meal, he was called to return the utensils for agricultural use.
The food was originally very bland. As a result, Guangqin immediately stopped doing it, threw away the farm tools and walked out the door, thinking to himself, why bother to do such heavy work every day and eat such a little food?
But after walking a few steps, I thought that I was a temple that gave up my life and death. Now I have only suffered such a little hardship, so how can I give up? So he packed up the farm tools and returned to the temple to report his life.
can do what people cannot, eat what people don’t eat, and do what people don’t do. It was this kind of mind that left the wisdom for Guangqin to practice Buddhism later. Since then, Guangqin has devoted himself to work, rushing to do things, helping others to serve rice, and when others are full, he will eat leftovers, such as chopping wood and cooking rice, and moving bricks and tiles, without complaints.
Buddha was with me
1933, Guangqin asked for precepts from Monk Miaoyi, who was only 42 years old. Then he said goodbye to Zhuanchen, and went to Qingyuan Mountain in the north of Quanzhou City with simple clothes and more than ten kilograms of rice. He found a cave for living and began his own practice for more than ten years.
There are weeds and bushes on the mountain, and few people will step on it. More than ten kilograms of rice will be eaten quickly, and a strange thing happened at this moment.
Some people seem to be born with some mission to come to this world. Huo Qubing is like the one sent by God to defeat Huns . After the battle ends, they return to heaven. Guangqin seems to be the person who was born to meet Buddha.
Without food, Guangqin drank the spring water, but the water was not full after all, but at this moment a spiritual monkey came. The monkey took a peach and gave it to Guangqin to fill his stomach.
Speaking of monkeys, we have to mention another nickname of Monk Guangqin, Monk Fuhu.This does not mean that he is as powerful as a cow and can capture a tiger alive, but that he conquered the tiger with his Buddha nature and Zen skills.
One day Guangqin was practicing in the cave. At this time, a colorful tiger jumped out and roared at him. Guangqin was not afraid to persuade the tiger: "I don't know that this place belongs to you. I will borrow it. When I see the Buddha one day, I will give you a fortune and cross you out of the sea of suffering."
After saying that, the tiger lowered its head and left, but soon brought several little tigers and played outside the cave all year round, as if to listen to the Dharma, it was time to see the Buddha.
The ancient Buddha of green lamps, but the remnant life
Guangqin regards compassion as the tone of his towards Buddha. He believes that everything in the world cannot compare to the power of compassion. As long as we have compassion, we can meet Buddha.
Everyone has compassion, and everything in the world is celebrated. Guangqin has always used this to restrain himself, use his compassion to influence the world and at the same time.
During the years of Guangqin's practice, he met many people. He used his Buddha heart to tell them to influence them. A hundred years later, it made countless people sad.
Guangqin once said that Buddhism does not fall into a weak place but the human heart is there. It is precisely because of the weak bias of the human heart that leads to social instability and turmoil in the situation that the society that should have coexisted with moral and legal systems has collapsed. If everyone wants to meet Buddha and want Buddha to rise in the world, it must start from the human heart. Only when the human heart changes can the Buddhism be implemented.
"It is hard to get a human body! Buddhism is hard to hear! China is hard to be born!" 's sentence is sonorous and powerful. Guangqin used his life to promote Buddhism and let the Buddha shine on the world. It is this ultimate praise of Buddha and his study of Buddhism that has achieved a hundred years of skill.
Summary:
Guangqin not only practices Buddha for himself, but also pushes Buddha to the world, understands all things in the world, promotes his Buddha nature, and inspires all things with his own voice.
His words and actions have made countless people admire and admire. The best proof is that the monkey gives fruits and the tiger snuggle is the best proof. Such a true and pure Buddha heart is enough to summarize everything about him.
When I was young, my family was poor. I chose to go to temples to practice. After experiencing suffering, I saw the Buddha in the forest and received the enlightenment of the Buddha. I went around many places just to preach the Dharma, and I had no support and rely on my obsession to save all sentient beings.
