202 1- 10-30 A Brief Introduction to China Tantric School

(Paragraph 44) Tantric Buddhism, the sixth of the eight sects of Buddhism in China.

Tantric Buddhism, also known as Neo-Zen, originally belonged to Tianzhu (ancient India). China Mizong Ancestral Temple is Daxingshan Temple, which is located in the south of Xi City, Shaanxi Province, and the State Council has been designated as the key Buddhist temple in the Han area of China. It was founded in the second year of Taishigong, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty (AD 226), formerly known as Zunshan Temple. When Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty built Daxing into Xi 'an, he ordered the construction of Daxing Mountain Temple as a national temple. Emperor Wendi of the Sui Dynasty was originally the Duke of Daxing County in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so he was named after the word "Daxing" and the word "Mountain" in "Jingshanfang".

The founder of Daxingshan Temple is a master of Tibetan spirits. He was a close friend of Emperor Wendi of the Sui Dynasty and an official of Zhao who managed the affairs of monks and nuns in the Sui Dynasty. Daxingshan Temple was the first national translation museum in Sui Dynasty. The famous "three outstanding men who opened the emperor", Yeliantiliyeshe, Gao Naduoduo and Damogurta, successively served as translators, which initiated the translation of Buddhist scriptures in the Sui Dynasty. Ye Shezhu translated about 8 Buddhist scriptures and 23 volumes, including Hundred Buddhist Scriptures and Lotus Face Scriptures. Translate the Buddhist scriptures 3 1 volume and 165 volume, mainly including Manjusri Sutra, Buddhist Sutra Collection and Bodhisattva Protection Sutra. How long have you lived in Xingshan Temple? The main translation is 7 volumes and 22 volumes.

These three ancient Indian monks have made great contributions to the translation of Buddhist scriptures in China. In addition, in the early days of the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (7 16-72O), the Indian tantric "Three Masters of Kaiyuan" had time to translate more than 500 tantric classics here, and Daxing Shansi Temple became one of the three translation places of the tantric scriptures in Chang 'an at that time, which made it a holy place for China tantric.

When Tang Huiguo was an elder, Japanese air sea monks came to Han to study, and returned to Japan with Confucian classics and rituals after their studies, and founded Japanese tantra. Japanese tantric schools are divided into eastern schools and Thai schools, including Shinrikyo, Vajrayana, Piluchana, Mystical, Vajrayana and other schools.

Tantric Buddhism spread Buddhism from Tathagata to Vajrayana. Eight hundred years after the death of Buddha Sakyamuni, Dragon Tree Bodhisattva opened the South Pagoda and learned Buddhism from King Kong Satay. Later, Long Zhi spread Buddhism to King Kong Zhi and Xu Bodhi. This Sect is divided into two factions, one is the fetal Tibetan community, and the other is the diamond community. Subhakara simha came to China in the Tang Dynasty under the guidance of a guru and a respected teacher. At that time, it was the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and Sumitomo Buddha King Kong sent Sanskrit classics in Chang 'an. Tang Xuanzong was very happy, and tantric Buddhism was promoted.

In 758 AD, Tang Suzong established the initiation Dojo in Daxingshan Temple. In ancient India, the way to join the club was the ceremony of the king's accession to the throne. The water of the four seas is packed in four treasure bottles and poured on the king's head by Buddhists, symbolizing the boundless power of the king and the prosperity of the country. Buddhism tantra followed this example. When the monk inherited the position of Aya pear, he closed the altar and was initiated, which was called "initiation". In addition, there are enlightenment, disaster relief, achievement enlightenment, etc., which started the enlightenment in China.

At the beginning of Kaiyuan, there was a "first-line" Zen master, a giant deer man with a common surname of Zhang. He worshipped Sumitomo Buddha King Kong as his teacher, and got many magical stories from both the Fetal Tibetan School and the King Kong School. Tantric Buddhism called the Dharma Buddha of Pilugayana the Tathagata, and Samamitabha Sinha King Kong translated the seven volumes of Great Pilugayana into a sutra of blessing to the Buddha, which was accepted by a group of Buddhist monks. The tantric Sect called the Tathagata Sutra, in which the monk wrote 20 volumes and interpreted 14 volumes with 600,000 words, all written and integrated by Sanzang Xubodhi. Later generations' research on tantra is based on Da Sun Jing, saying that God changes money to save money. Please refer to this book.

After thich nhat hanh got the True Story of King Kong from the Sumitomo Buddha, he studied Buddhism and gave lectures, and formed the China tantric school, known as the leader of the China tantric school. This sect established "Three Secrets Yoga" according to the teachings of the Great Sun Sutra and the Jingangding Sutra. Three secrets refer to three secret methods of self-cultivation and oral expression, and yoga refers to meditation. The principle of Sammi Yoga is to observe things and practice the supreme secret method of "deity". This deity refers to (self-nature Buddha). In addition, a South Indian named King Kong Chi King Kong arrived in Guangzhou by sea in the seventh year of Kaiyuan. He walked in the streets strangely and translated many Tantric classics. Also, Kong Kong Kong is a North Indian. He learned from his guru, King Kong Chi, and got his teacher's biography.

These four venerable men all preach esoteric Buddhism, which is extraordinary. At that time, "officials, officials and scholars from all walks of life" all worshipped it as a Buddha, scrambling to learn Tantric Buddhism and trying to get Tantric enlightenment. Secret enlightenment refers to enlightenment by five buddhas and five intelligences, namely, great round mirror wisdom, equal wisdom, wonderful view wisdom, perfect wisdom and dharma body wisdom. These five kinds of wisdom turn from knowledge, namely:

Turning to the nine halls of Moro knowledge is the body wisdom of Buddhism: the body wisdom of Buddhism is Pilu Channa Buddha, the mouth is Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and the heart is immortal King Kong.

Turning to the eighth place, Araille became the Great Circle Mirror Wisdom: Great Circle Mirror Wisdom is the Buddha of body and mind, Manjusri Bodhisattva in his mouth, and King Kong in his heart.

Turn the seventh knowledge into equal wisdom: equal wisdom sports industry is a treasure to give birth to Buddha, oral industry is a vanity to hide bodhisattva, and Italian industry is a great army to make a fortune.

The wonderful view of turning the sixth knowledge into wisdom: the wonderful view of intellectual career and karma is amitabha, karma is bodhisattva, and karma is hexapod king kong.

Turn the top five knowledge into success wisdom: success wisdom, body and career are not empty to become a Buddha, oral career is a bodhisattva, and Italian career is Maha medicine fork King Kong.

These five wisdom respectively represent the corresponding five Buddhist sects, namely, Dongzhong Daoism (King Kong Sect), Nanzhong Daoism (Emptying), Xizhong Daoism (Lotus Sect), Beizhong Daoism (Exhaustion Sect) and Zhongdao Daoism (Buddha Sect). Five Wisdom Enlightenments can enter the Buddha, but those who do not have the nature of King Kong will not be despised by the guru. If you give it to them reluctantly, it will be harmful if the recipient's virtue is not worthy.

With the passage of time, people rarely accept this method because they are far away from the sacred era and human feelings. In the Ming dynasty, the government issued a special ban on teaching esoteric religion, fearing that it would be harmful to practice.

Because of its mystery, Tantric Buddhism is even said to be a Buddha, and its requirements for learning are very high. It must be initiated by Ayali herself, and it must be taught by Ayali herself, and she will not be lazy. Without teaching, it is not allowed to teach and show non-tantric believers to each other, unless they are upper-middle-class people, it is impossible to learn! There must be a real guru, but not a biography! The real Dojo is not feasible!

Eight cases of Mahayana, and the other seven cases can be "self-taught, self-taught, self-taught, and self-certified". Only tantra can study under the guidance of a vajrayana guru who has obtained the heart of Vajrayana (above the position of Bodhisattva at the beginning), which is more strict than Zen. Otherwise, not only can it not be achieved, but it may also have serious consequences, because learning tantra is very easy to trigger magical powers, and learning blunt roots is very easy to go off.

If the Buddha didn't teach him how to build an altar, those who built it themselves would be called stealing the law. Those who steal the law can't get tangible benefits. King Kong here, a new King Kong, refers to the bodhisattva on the ground who won the heart of King Kong, and a title that can be easily translated as "teacher, professor and tutor". However, spreading Buddhism requires not only many altar-building ceremonies and instruments, but also very complicated. It is difficult for ordinary temples to meet the requirements of building altars, so this method is not suitable for popularization.

Sumitomo Buddha and the four other venerable persons mentioned above popularized the tantric school in China, which has long been lost, but some people said that it was not lost. Actually, there is no need to argue. The fact is that Tantra has no inheritance in Chinese mainland. Based on this, let's say it has been lost. The lost tantric school in China is very different from the Lama's secret collection now. The secret collection is the product of Lianxin Tantra and Tibetan Buddhism. Don't be confused. These are the causes of tantric Buddhism in China.
